About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, including rescue dogs, and have always loved their different personalities and characters. I offer boarding, daycare, dog walking and drop-in visits. We have a calm, family home with a secure fenced garden, and dogs are welcome to free-roam and make themselves at home. I work from home, so they’ll have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. We enjoy long country walks and love having dogs join us on our adventures. We also have a playful miniature dachshund who loves having friends to play with! My 6-year-old son is a big dog lover and understands the importance of giving dogs space and respecting their boundaries. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with lots of love, care and attention. 🐶❤️ I work from home, and my partner is also home during the day, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention. We enjoy regular walks, from shorter walks around the block and trips to the local field, to longer countryside adventures exploring woodlands, fields and parks. Our longer walks are usually an hour or more. We’re a very active family and love getting outdoors, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, play and exploring, as well as plenty of time to relax at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are really important to us. We have a secure, fenced garden and a calm, family home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Our miniature dachshund is friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your dog will have a companion during their stay. We always respect each dog’s individual personality, space and boundaries. We want every dog to feel comfortable, cared for and part of the family while they’re with us. 🐶❤️
“Having our usual dog sitter unavailable it was difficult to choose someone to trust. Christie made everything so easy and our dog looks to have thoroughly enjoyed her time. We will not hesitate to bring our dog back to Christie next time”
About: I regularly look after family dogs, making sure they are well fed, exercised, and cared for in a safe and loving environment. I enjoy spending time with them by taking them on walks, playing games, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Looking after family dogs has helped me become responsible, patient, and confident in caring for animals. Although I work full time, I always make time to take dogs on walks in the evenings to ensure they get exercise and attention. I enjoy spending quality time with them after work and making sure they feel happy and cared for. On weekends, I especially love going on long walks with dogs and exploring new places outdoors together. My garden is a safe and secure space for dogs to play, relax, and explore freely. It is fully fenced and well-maintained, giving me confidence that dogs are protected while enjoying time outside. I also have a friendly Bedlington Whippet who loves the company of other dogs and helps keep them happy, active, and social during their stay.
“Fantastic lady with a lovely family that treated Ruby like part of the family I got regular updates that really put my mind at rest as this was our first time using this service I would have no such worry at booking Katie again she’s amazing and Ruby loved her ❤️🐶”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Maria looked after our dog while we were in hospital for the birth of our son via a planned C-section, and she completely put our minds at ease. She kindly offered to have him the night before our scheduled booking at no extra cost, which took so much stress out of an already busy time. When our discharge from hospital was delayed, she also kept him for the rest of the day without asking for any additional payment. Throughout his stay, Maria kept us updated with messages and photos, so we always knew he was happy and having a great time. He got on brilliantly with her Chihuahua, and it was lovely to see him so relaxed and enjoying himself. Maria went above and beyond for us during such an important time, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. We'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Maria! 🐾💙”

“Think we have found the best dog sitter in the world. It was Sargents first night away from us in four years, Chloe was so good with him and kept us informed with msg and pictures, he won’t be stopping anywhere else.”
“Bo has had a fantastic holiday, Michelle clearly loves dogs and it shows. I loved all the updates of Bo snuggling and walking. A real home from home experience and would highly recommend her. Thank you Michelle, Bo can’t wait for her next holiday. xx”
“Wow, Brillant. Devon and her family made Honey feel very much at home. Honey seemed to really enjoy being there, she was very tired when we picked her up which is brillant. Thank you so much. Highly recommend Devon.”
“Our first time using this service and it comes with some trepidation leaving your favourite child ;(we have 3 of those horrible human types too) with strangers. However from the first message and inviting us around with Rufus for a house visit, at which he disgraced himself, which I am ashamed to say, yet Amy was still happy to take care of him whilst we were off getting married! Over the visit everything went really smoothly and we were updated with how was doing and received many pictures of him having the time of his life (half we a sleep in various positions). It sounds like he was contributing to their office based pub quiz as well! Although I'm not sure he knows many answers I'm and certain he would happy form an alliance again with them in the future.”
“Julie was great with Paolo and clearly loves dogs. She had read Paolo’s profile and asked questions relating to his medication so showed me that she was prepared. She sent updates and photos. Her house is a great space for dogs with a huge garden. Thanks”
“Demi was brilliant sent photos and a video of Kia my fur baby she made herself comfortable on the sofa with Demi husband and made my time leaving with them so easy Kia got sulks on with me when I got her home because she had such a good time playing with Demi dog and cats. Definitely recommend Demi to any dog owners who after leave there pets whilst they are away. Thank you Demi I think Kia would like to come back for another good time.”
“Janet is an excellent host. She made my dog very welcome and he was well looked after. Her home and garden was just perfect for him and he was treated as one of the family. I would not hesitate to book again.”
“Our dog Miller had an absolutely brilliant time on her holidays! We had regular contact and lots of photos, Georgia and her family were so welcoming and gave her so much love and attention. Would highly recommend using Georgia as a sitter, and will definitely be using her again ourselves!”

About: Myself and my daughter (Alicia) have been pet sitting and dog walking as a business for the last few years so have experience with many breeds of dog old and young. We can administer medication and will adapt our schedule to your pet’s needs. We have both owned pets of our lives and are happy to look after any pets large or small from horses through to hamsters and everything in between. Pets have always been a big part of my life will make sure they are walked frequently and cared for at the highest standards very experienced with a variety of animals Will keep routines as close to the owners as possible so will be treated as our own. We have 2 cats and guinea pigs which will be kept separate from your own.
About: I have grown up with working spaniels and labradors on a farm, as well as having these dogs as working they have been loved pets. They are walked 2/3 times a day which is either at the beach in Saltburn or in the woodlands. I live in Scissett at the moment and the countryside/woodland is just perfect to have a furry companion by my side to enjoy it with. I'm the kind of person who will cross the road purposely to pet a dog! I work full time, but I work from home 2/3 days a week. I'm always available to put in leave also if this makes sitting easier, or if you are happy with the dog to come into my office with me then you can sure expect them to be coming for coffee breaks and treats with me. Pets really are part of the family so they will be treated as so in my home, whether they would want to sleep on my bed, on their bed, or anywhere else that's fine with me. They would be given endless cuddles and love while being with me.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Barnsley is £30

They were brilliant looking after our dachshund while we were away. Kept us updated everyday and sent plenty of pictures. Nice knowing she was well looked after and we could enjoy our holiday. Thank you both for looking after her, wouldn’t hesitate to use them again x
Susan was amazing with my eight-month old puppy. She asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure she knew exactly how to care for him, which made me feel completely confident leaving him in her care. He had plenty of walks and playtime and especially loved interacting with the other dogs.
Rebecca is a lifesaver! This was Lizzie's 1st time away from home so I was quite anxious about how it would affect her. I needn't have worried as Rebecca was very caring and Lizzie loved her from the first meeting. She was very friendly and professional, sending regular updates whilst we were away, enabling us to have a stress free trip. Lizzie was happy and calm when I picked her up, I don't think she missed me at all! I would definitely book Rebecca again, and can fully recommend.

FAQs for Boarding – Barnsley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Barnsley on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 2,585 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barnsley. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Yorkshire and the Humber 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 .
