“Lorraine was absolutely brilliant looking after our two boys. She gave lots of updates with pictures of them chilling out and going for walkies. She catered to any additional needs. It was lovely to know that they were in good hands and enjoyed their stay. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”

About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.

“Lexie has been coming to Rob's day care for more than 6 months daily and she has always had so much fun and has been looked after like in our own home. She's has met many dog friends and has been coming home very tired after hours of play. If Lexie stayed for couple of nights we would always get much appreciated daily updates with pictures. We will always choose Rob&Dawn in future for our little pup.”
“Rio stayed for his first night and enjoyed his stay! Stephanie kept me updated through the day on how he was and i couldn’t have been happier with the service. 5* all round.”
“Our dog Jasper had the best time ever staying with Aaron. Throughout our time away, Aaron sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Jasper was being so well cared for. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a true home-from-home experience for their dog. There is plenty of secure open space for the dogs to run and play freely, and it is clear that Aaron genuinely cares about the animals in his care. Jasper loved his stay so much that he hardly wanted to leave! We will definitely be using Aaron again in the future.😊”
“Ivy took Baxter for a little under 2 weeks at the last minute after an issue with another sitter. She understood his specifc needs well and seemed like a natural. I got excellent communication with regular updates and photos/videos. I would happily take Baxter back again, highly recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog Nala since she was 11 weeks old so I have trained her and seen her personality grow since then. Covering her medical needs, I groom her myself and take care of her general day to day care I have also taken care of family and friends small dogs when they’re on holiday and things As Nala is my first pet, haven’t had much experience with older dogs but more than happy to learn and love an old soul I work from home 3-4 days a week so on those days I have a rough schedule that allows me to walk Nala 3 times a day and unlimited time in the garden in between, for example; First walk around 7:30-8am Breakfast Lunchtime walk around 12:30-1:30pm Lunch after Early evening walk around 5:30-7pm Dinner Maybe a last quick toilet run around 8/9pm depending on the day I don’t work on the weekend so if I don’t have anything planned, we can go for long walks or spend the day playing in the garden My husband may also be home on some days working in his office. It’s just the two of us so we will be providing all the care If you trust us with your fur-baby, you can expect them to receive endless hugs and kisses, regular meal times and treats, and the high level of love and care our own dog receives daily We also have lots of family friends with children who may also come for a small time to share the love (we will always say in advance) You can also expect regular and detailed updates about your dog to give you peace of mind while you’re away

“Olivia was the best. It was the first time leaving Murphy, our slightly nervous rescue so we were understandable a bit nervous. But Olivia looked after him so well, her calm encouraging energy really suited Murphy. She kept us updated during the day which really helped put our minds at easy, would wholeheartedly recommend.”
“We cannot thank Vitor enough for the incredible care he gave to Pepper and Ivy during our four days away. From the moment we entrusted our two sausage dogs to him, it was clear that they were in capable, loving, and attentive hands. Vitor made sure to keep us updated throughout the trip with a constant stream of photos and videos. These updates were such a source of comfort and joy, as it was clear the girls were having a wonderful time. Whether it was Pepper being her usual cheeky self or Ivy enjoying her sweet, calm moments, we loved seeing them happy and relaxed while we were away. Vitor truly understands dogs and their individual personalities. He took the time to ensure that both Pepper, our curious and energetic puppy, and Ivy, our gentle, independent older girl, were cared for in a way that suited them perfectly. He managed Pepper’s boundless energy with patience and playfulness, and he gave Ivy the space and affection she needed. We even noticed how much Pepper’s confidence grew during her time with him—something that really warmed our hearts. We were especially impressed with Vitor’s attention to detail and his commitment to maintaining their routines. From feeding schedules to their daily walks and playtime, everything was followed to perfection. He even went the extra mile to keep them entertained and comfortable, ensuring they felt at home. It’s clear that Vitor doesn’t just take care of dogs—he genuinely cares about them. When we returned, both Pepper and Ivy were happy, relaxed, and full of energy, which speaks volumes about the level of care they received. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Vitor is absolutely the person you need. We feel so fortunate to have found him and will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Vitor, for taking such amazing care of our girls and giving us peace of mind while we were away!”
About: I want to give your pets the best time they will have! I have had bad experiences with dog trainers and walkers and have worked in kennels working to rehabilitate dogs and I would not wish that for any dog and this motivates me to look after your pet as if they were my own! I would give them all the love and attention they need and spend my time with them in ways which they would want it as each dog is unique and have their own personalities. I have 2 dogs myself and love spending time with them. In the future I hope to have my own boarding kennel where dogs can be dogs and do what they want to do! I also have a qualification in dog grooming and can also help training of manners and day to day tasks. I do work full time working as managment within a care sector so long days keep me busy so if I will do my upmost to accomidate and would not accept to look after your pet if I could not give them what they need. I live in a home with a huge garden so there is plenty of space for them to run around. Dogs are part of the family and should be treated as such, having a puppy and older dog of my own there are toys all over. I have an up to date DBS.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wellingborough on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in East Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
