“Emily and her son took care of our Lab Nala for 8 days and Nala had a fantastic time, she’s come home and is happy and content with no issues whatsoever, I’d highly recommend Emily and her services ❤️❤️❤️”

“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.”


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. 🐶❤️

About: I have two golden retrievers who love other dogs. I grew up with an Airedale and have had a dog myself for 11 years. I have experience with both puppies and old dogs. I work from home so a typical day looks like a walk to school with my daughter and our dogs (if my husband is around otherwise dogs are left while we walk to school which is 10 minute each way). I work downstairs with the dogs, they have access to the garden. At lunchtime the dogs have a walk locally. Evenings look like a short walk in the area after tea. I am very rarely out of the house for more than 2 hours. I have a fenced garden and 2 golden retrievers who love other dogs. I have a 4 year old daughter who loves dogs and has grown up around them. I can walk dogs on or off the lead.
“Mika had a lovely time with Devon and her family. I received regular updates and pictures throughout her stay. Had a meet and greet beforehand and good communication throughout. Would book again.”

“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”

“Very pleased all round. Hope has been well cared for and is very happy. She fitted in well with the family who seem to have become very fond of her. We would not hesitate to book Marta again if and when we need to.”

About: I've always loved dogs. I had 3 Jack Russells: Tilly, Billy, and Charlie. Sadly, they have all passed away. My little Billy boy passed in February this year at 17 years. I adored my babies and would never have considered boarding them in kennels; so, until recently, I haven't been able to have a holiday or an overnight stay away from home. I have a 15-year-old daughter, and we need to have some holidays together, so, I can't commit to owning a dog at the moment. We both really miss the company and affection of a dog or dogs and would love to welcome your Furby to our home. I have a large fenced garden. My workplace is a 5-minute drive away. I work Monday to Friday, 9.00 am - 2.00 pm. I work part-time, which is a five minute drive away, Monday to Friday 9.00 am until 2.00 pm. There will be lots of play time. We have some lovely quiet walks round us in the countryside. I have a large garden with a 6 feet high fence. We love to go on walks, but this is totally your decision, you know your dog, so whatever, they're used to at home, they can expect the same whilst they're on doggie holiday.

“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.”

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.

“Absolutely amazing, leo was look after with loving care. Had playtime plenty of walks cuddles and he slept well at night highly recommend cant thankyou enough for having leo and making him feel at home 🥰”

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.
“I was very impressed with the care Tracy provided for my dog, Dexter whilst I was away. During his stay I was sent messages and photographs keeping me fully informed of how he was coping. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tracy and I would certainly like to use her services in the future. Tracy certainly deserves five stars.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We honestly couldn’t recommend Chloe and Josh enough! They were absolutely amazing with our dog, Pumpkin. 🐾❤️ Before Pumpkin stayed with them, we went over to their house a couple of times so she could get familiar with the surroundings and feel comfortable and at home there. This really helped us feel confident leaving her in their care, knowing she already felt settled with them. From the very beginning, Chloe and Josh were so lovely, caring and trustworthy, and it was clear how much they genuinely cared about Pumpkin. They kept us updated every day with photos and messages about all of Pumpkin’s little adventures, which gave us such peace of mind and made us feel like we weren’t missing out while we were away. It was so lovely seeing how happy and settled she was with them. We honestly wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with our girl, and we’re so grateful for the care, love and attention they gave her. Pumpkin clearly had the best time and came home happy! Thank you so much, Chloe and Josh, for looking after our Pumpkin so wonderfully. We will definitely be using you again! 🐶💕

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Barnsley on Rover is £32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £26 and £45 per night.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 2,640 sitters in Barnsley, 69% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
