“Jack was absolutely brilliant with our cocker spaniel. He put my mind at rest when we visited and Red settled at his house immediately. We got daily updates and photos, showing Red was having a great time with him. He clearly knows how to deal with looking after other people's pets with patience, understanding and knowledge. I highly recommend him and Red can't wait for our next trip away.”
“Lovely family and really cared for my Iris bedlington terrier. Sent lots of photos which really reassured us as it was the first time we have left her behind and was quite nervous and sad about leaving her. Can't recommend Kirsty and the rest of her wonderful family and will definitely be using their services if and when we next dare go away!”
“Mabel has had the best time at Emma’s and I’ve had a lovely weekend knowing that she is so well looked after. Mabel loves all the family, so much so I had to force her to leave them when I picked her up ♥️ Thank you so much guys, we look forward to seeing you again.”
“This is my second time leaving Tilly with Luke and Karolina. They are very accommodating in all aspects of drop-off and pick-up and Tilly's care and needs. I was updated daily with how Tilly was getting on, and photos of Tilly were sent, which helped reassure me that she was fine. Tilly smelled amazing on pickup, having been bathed after a muddy outing; her coat looked amazing, and she looked happy, and I would not hesitate to leave Tilly with this lovely, caring couple for all my future dog-free holidays and events. They both come highly recommended by Tilly and me. Thank you!”
“Great communication prior to leaving my dogs with Anca, plus plenty of pics and updates whilst we were away. The dogs were happy and well looked after, they had a great garden to play in. Highly recommend especially if you're an anxious dog mum like me.”
About: After using Rover for my own dog care in the past I know how important it is to find the right home for your dog. I've had my own dogs for the last 10 years including a puppy and an older rescue. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with a variety of breeds and have also volunteered and received dogs trust training a couple years ago. I understand dogs are all different and I'm happy to support and match their routines to make them comfortable in my home. I love dogs of all kinds and live in a perfect village area with lost of public and private walks and dog friendly cafes! I work from home with my husband and can therefore be around all day as needed. I work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays and do not work Tuesday's. I therefore have plenty of time for walks, toilet breaks and cuddles! I can fit my routine around the routine of the dog in my care, just reach out and let me know what's required. I have a fenced garden with bifold doors that can be left open for easy access to potter outside. I also have experience with providing dogs with medication.
“Hannahs communication was great and we received daily pictures from her to put us at ease as this was the first time using Rover. Reggie was happy to stay with her and her family which was a great comfort.”
About: Hello everyone . My name is Emma and due to a recent change in job I have found myself with an opportunity to offer my dog walking and other pet care services in my spare time. I have experience with most animals and both small and large dog breeds. I live in a house with my husband (no children) and I can be available for last minute or regular bookings. I work Monday-Thursday in the office and I am available all day on Friday, weekday evenings and most weekends. I always try to be as flexible as possible. I live in a warm, pet-safe house with a comfortably sized, secure and fenced garden. Your pet would be well cared for with lots of attention and affection.
“Myla had another lovely day with Tasha. Came home happy and relaxed. Feel confident that she is being well looked after and not missing us that much. The pics and videos helped to confirm that.”
“Molly has just come home from her first overnight stay and she's had a great time with Amy and her family. She sent us photos and plenty of updates and we felt really happy that she was with a safe, loving family. Thank you so much and we'll definitely send her again, if you'll have her!! Thank you from Simon, Leonie and Molly”
“Ruth was fantastic with Millie. This was a last minute booking and Ruth couldn't be more accommodating and helpful. Millie stayed overnight and settled pretty quickly. They went for a long walk and I got regular updates. Couldn't be more happy with Ruth! Definitely will recover her and use her services again. ❤️”
“Ellie was absolutely amazing. From the meet and greet I knew Teddy would be in safe hands. Teddy had his first stay and he looks like he absolutely loved it, Teddy looked settled and content. He was one happy & tired boy when he came home which says it all, he had fun!!🥰 Ellie sent me regular updates of what they got up to along with photos too which was amazing, with it being Teddy’s first stay it gave us that extra peace of mind. Thank you so much once again and Teddy will be looking forward to his next stay with you xx”
“Jess had a lovely time with Kate and Dottie, a real home from home. I was really relaxed as Kate sent regular updates and photos. A fabulous dog host and would not hesitate to recommend her. 😁”
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals all my life. I’ve had multiple dogs of all breeds and sizes throughout my life. I’ve looked after both cats and dogs multiple times and overall love spending time with 4 legged friends! I’m currently on a career break, while I await to start a new role in September. I am able to dog sit at almost all days of the week and will give my undivided attention to your pet. I am very active and take my pooch for 2 long walks everyday through the countryside. I have a very large fenced garden, and 10 acres of fenced land for your dog to roam free and enjoy. I have my own very friendly 5year old Labradoodle who can keep your dog company. I am able to crate sleep if needed.
“Kate clearly adores dogs and her home was filled with so much warmth and pup love. She sent regular updates and pictures and was incredibly accommodating when our return home was delayed, extending our booking by an extra day at short notice. Loki was very well cared for and loved and had a great time!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Tessa. She had a lovely time and as soon as she met Sophie she looked happy. Sophie kept me up to date with pictures and Tessa looked happy and relaxed in all of them. I would definitely recommend Sophie and would have her pet sit Tessa again in the future:-)”
About: I have taken care of family friend’s dogs when they go away. I have a great love for dogs. I also work for a large company that takes pride in pet care . I work full time however the office I work in allows pets on site so there is planet of opportunity for your dog to make many more Fridays. There is a secure nature walk on site at work so no need to worry about being stuck in the office all day! I do not work over a weekend so I am also free for any weekend walking or looking after. I have an enclosed and secure garden for any dog , we have lovely dogs in our neighbourhood and surrounded by plenty of long walking areas to keep everyone busy and happy. I don’t have any pets in my home , so your dog will have all our attention
About: I’m experienced in caring for dogs and other small animals, and I hold a Diploma in Animal Care and Land‑Based Studies. I genuinely enjoy looking after both dogs and cats, and I have my own animals at home, so I understand how important it is to give pets the same level of care, patience and attention they’re used to. I’m reliable, calm and confident with different breeds and personalities, and I take pride in creating a safe, happy environment for every animal I look after. I fit pet care naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already care for my own animals every day, so feeding, walking, playtime and general supervision are part of my normal schedule. I enjoy planning my week around giving pets consistent attention, keeping them happy, comfortable and well‑looked‑after. I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home where pets are cared for with patience, routine, and genuine affection. I make sure their environment is clean, comfortable, and hazard‑free, and I always prioritise their wellbeing. Pets in my home are treated with kindness, consistency, and respect, so they feel secure, relaxed, and truly looked after.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Kirklees
Jack looked after Freddie for a week while we were away on holiday, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We received plenty of updates throughout the week, including photos from their adventures and lots of very sleepy post-walk snaps! One of the things that impressed us most was how quickly Freddie settled in. He can sometimes take a little while to feel comfortable in new surroundings, but it was clear from the updates that he felt right at home. That's a real credit to Jack and the environment he creates for the dogs in his care. We felt completely at ease knowing Freddie was being so well looked after, and it's obvious that Jack genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. We've already booked Freddie in again for another stay later this year and will absolutely be using Jack again whenever we need a sitter. Highly recommended!
Caroline and Daniel did an excellent job of looking after our greyhound, Lacey. After our initial visit to see them, we felt that Lacey fitted in really well with the whole family and their own dogs as well as the other boarding dogs. Caroline sent us loads of updates and pictures whilst we were away and we were able to keep up to date with Lacey whilst on holiday. We will definitely be using them again and would thoroughly recommend to anybody else.
Lucy and her dog Hallie were absolutely amazing with our two dogs Honey the pug and Aslan the golden retriever. She sent regular updates with photos, made sure they had frequent walks and play time and brain stimulation with lick mats. Hallie is a gentle giant who has so much patience with other dogs and puppies who may not know all the boundaries yet! Thank you SO much for putting our minds at ease while we were away - we will definitely book with you again.
This was the 1st time we had left Braidy to go on holiday, so we were obviously a little apprehensive, but she has come home happy and contented, and has clearly loved being at Davina's! Thank you for taking such good care of Braidy! We would definitely be happy for her to be looked after by Davina in the future!
Alexandra was simply wonderful with our boys! She kept us posted, shared photos and was so reassuring throughout the 16 days she had them. We missed our boys but we were never concerned, which made such a massive difference as it was the first time we left them with a sitter. If anything, we wondered if the boys would want to come home with us as they seemed so happy in their ‘temporary home’!!!! I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to use Alexandra’s services again; she’s an absolute star and truly lovely person!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Kirklees
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kirklees on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of June 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 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 .
