“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!”
“Luke is my go-to boarder for Lola. He’s looked after our beagle three times now and has been fantastic every time. Beagles aren’t the easiest breed — lots of curiosity, plenty of opinions, and a powerful nose — but Lola is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for with Luke. It’s obvious she’s comfortable with him, which gives us complete peace of mind. Reliable, friendly, and great with dogs — highly recommended.”
“Fantastic 2 weeks for Coco with Janet, everytime we collect her she does not want to leave as enjoys it so much. As always jumped out the car when we dropped her off as she knew where she was. Can’t recommend Janet highly enough.”
“Jack was fantastic with Freddie. We got regular updates of their time and Fred came back exhausted after a couple of adventures. We’ll definitely be using Jack again and I’m sure Fred will be excited to stay again!”
“Emily was very calm and welcoming of our Luna, she gave photo updates and good feedback when collecting. Luna seemed very relaxed and happy staying overnight with her for the first time and seemed to enjoy herself!”
“Emma provided the perfect stay for Pippa, our Yellow Labrador. Pippa was very relaxed with all of Emma's lovely family. Pippa settled in quickly and was taken for some long walks. We received several photos of Pippa so we could see how settled and happy she was. It was also evident that Emma and her family enjoyed looking after Pippa! We highly recommend Emma and will definitely use her service again.”
“We first met Daniel on a meet and greet where we introduced him to ozzy, and he told us about his background in dog training. After our meet he filled us with confidence that ozzy would be in safe hands. We had updates throughout his stay and ozzy loved his stay and we would definitely recommend using Daniels services. 5star. Highly recommended!”
“I left my puppy, Panther, with Helena and was a bit nervous at first since I’d never done this before or used the website. But Helena was fantastic! She sent me regular updates and photos, and I could tell Panther was really happy and well cared for. It was also super easy to message her if I had any questions or worries. I’m so glad I chose Helena, she did such a great job looking after Panther. I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based between Leeds and Manchester, we recently were devastated to lose our fox red Labrador, Callie. We have everything a dog could want, and a lot of love to dive, visiting dogs tend to settle in quickly and feel at home. I work from home full-time in an open-plan house, so your dog will always have company, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day—no long periods left alone. Our home is a relaxed, dog-friendly space where dogs are treated like part of the family. We’re lucky to have a fully enclosed garden with a secure double-gate system, so dogs can safely enjoy being outside whenever they like (weather permitting!). When it’s dry, they’re free to roam in and out as they please. Exercise is a big part of our routine. Our dog used to get three walks a day, usually up on the local moors and hills or along the canal—plenty of variety, fresh air, and stimulation. My wife, Lydia, is also a huge dog lover and often joins in, which means we can walk dogs separately if needed to suit their pace, personality, or training requirements. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and reassurance while you’re away. If you’re looking for a safe, active, and loving home-from-home environment for your dog, I’d love to help. Feel free to get in touch with any questions! I work from home full time so am available for sitting any time. I’m out with our dog on walks twice a day so have no problem with walking responsibilities, and love a longer explore with the dog at the weekend. I have a fully enclosed garden, and I work looking on to it, so am always paying attention to the dogs. Our home is very pet friendly, with laminate flooring and an open plan downstairs, so dogs can have space but also always be seen.
“Claudia and the family were outstanding. The space is a dream for any dog. Super safe and brilliant for dogs who love the outdoors. Regular communication and really helped me out with a last minute request. 10/10”
“Anca is a super friendly, super helpful and lovely dog sitter. We had never left our pup with anyone before and we weren't sure what to expect but Anca was brilliant. We got regular updates and photos and she was very reassuring. She was also extremely understanding when our train was cancelled and we were later getting back than we had originally planned. Best of all, our dog came home happy, healthy and well looked after. Would highly recommend Anca's services.”
About: I have a 4 year old GSP, she is energetic velcro doc, I have had her since a puppy and have owned puppies / dogs before her. I understand that dogs and cats are a part of the family and need to be treated as such by their sitter. I will give your animal as much care as I do my own ! I can also feed small animals you may have, rabbits, guniea pigs etc I work from home, I drive so I am able to pop out during the working day to feed and let your pet out, depending on how far you are. I am free on weekends as I am the only dog parent for my dog, so Willow is 90% by side. I will respect other peoples homes and ensure everything is left tidy when looking after your pets. I am happy to retrieve your Amazon parcels also ;) I am also punctual and if I say I will be there at a certain time, I will be.
“Katarzyna was so friendly and her love for dogs was obvious when we first met her, Our dog seemed to be happy to be with her and settled quickly. She kept us updated with photos and videos which was lovely and he had some lovely walks with her. He was tired out when we picked him up, the sign of a good day! I would definitely recommend Katarzyna to a friend. Thank you!”

Enzo had a lovely time with Luke and Karolina and from all the updates we received while we were away we definitely felt like he was being very well looked after. Enzo has a very specific diet and daily hygiene routine - all of our instructions were followed to the letter. I would definitely go to Luke and Karolina again and we also found the collection/pick up service that they offer extremely helpful.
Jack was great with our two dogs (lab and cocker). They had a great time and quickly looked like they were at home. They got plenty of walks/exercise and clearly bonded quickly with Jack! We got lots of updates of the fun they were having. Thank you Jack for your considerate and enthusiastic care of our boys!
We are so grateful to Ruth for taking care of Rolo and for keeping us updated on how Rolo was doing. It was clear to see that Rolo was having a great time and was able to be his usual cheeky self with her. Highly recommend Ruth. She’s so lovely and caring. Thanks Ruth!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kirklees on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 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 .
