“John and his wife went above and beyond looking after Steve. True animal lovers. Steve had an amazing time and so glad we found them to look after him. Can't recommend enough. Will definitely use them again in future.”
“Sally has been great to deal with and Clementine has thoroughly enjoyed her stay with her. We were kept up to date with daily photos and messages which was lovely to see. I would definitely recommend Sally and be booking her services again. 😃”
“Jack was so wonderful and patient with Cora! She's definitely not the easiest of pups (anxious, high energy) but Jack was very open and kept us in the loop with how she was doing plenty of times. His communication really put us at ease and we felt confident our doggy was in safe hands. He asked all the right questions beforehand to make sure Cora was cared for as closely as she is at home and even treated her to a big walk out in the peaks! Jack has a dog seat belt attachment in his car so Cora was properly transported. She came home clean and happy and we couldn't have hoped for anything better. He listened to any care instructions and advice we gave him and even prepared treats for when she arrived. We'll definitely consider Jack again in future as he's a lovely lad too and very reasonably priced.”
“Megan was amazing, this was a hard leave for me due to Tilly having a few health issues over the last few weeks. I chose Megan due to Tilly been the only animal there. Tilly was so happy when she came home I was updated daily on her feeding been happy as well has her medication and if she had any seizures. Thank you again Megan”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Communication was excellent throughout, giving us complete peace of mind. Oz absolutely loved his stay with Ebony, Rueben, Shaz, and Mark, and was clearly in cuddle heaven! He was treated like one of the family, and we came home to a very happy boy. We wouldn't hesitate to book again—highly recommended! Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both large and small breeds, from German Shepherds to little terriers. I currently have a 6-month-old Sprocker Spaniel, so I’m very familiar with the energy, enthusiasm, and affection that dogs bring into our lives. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely love, whether that’s taking them on long walks, playing with them, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to know their pet is in safe, caring hands. Alongside caring for healthy, active dogs, I also have experience looking after senior dogs with mobility issues, ensuring they receive the patience, support, and extra care they need. I’ve cared for rescue dogs, helped build confidence in dogs struggling with social anxiety, and supported dogs with medical conditions, including epilepsy, always following owners’ guidance and routines closely. My experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and needs has helped me become adaptable, attentive, and confident in providing the individual care each dog deserves. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the day. I have my own dog, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. We enjoy three walks a day (one long walk and two shorter walks), along with playtime, training sessions, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddles. I like to pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy levels, and mood so I can tailor their day to what they enjoy most and what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I take the time to get to know each dog’s routine, preferences, and needs to help them feel secure and settled. Whether caring for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I ensure they receive regular exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, fresh water, feeding according to instructions, and plenty of affection. I always monitor how a dog is feeling and adapt activities to suit their energy level and comfort, while maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment at all times.
“2nd time Soraya has looked after bongo and he has had a blast for the last 10 days!! So lucky to have found someone so warm and loving for bongo whilst I’m away. I’ve already booked his next stay :)”
“Danielle looked after our dog whilst she was recovering from surgery. Her place is ideal if your dog requires something quieter, she listened to our dogs requirements and communicated well.”
“Karen was a perfect person to care for our Border Collie, Siân. She has a wealth of experience with and understanding of dogs, but she is also very kind, welcoming and accommodating. She really took care to think what would be best for Siân. Moreover, we really enjoyed meeting Karen and wish we lived closer to be able to have her as a regular person in our and Siân's lives!”
“Sara looked after my 6-month-old puppy Tiny for two weeks and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning she was friendly, reassuring, and clearly very experienced with dogs, which immediately put me at ease. While Tiny was with her, Sara kept in constant contact and sent twice-daily updates with lovely photos. It was so nice to see how well Tiny was settling in and enjoying herself, and it really helped me relax while I was away. When I picked Tiny up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You could tell she had been given lots of attention, love, and exercise. It’s never easy leaving a young puppy, but Sara made the whole experience completely stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sara again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond.”
“Liz is a wonderful sitter! She is so easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times with, and always sends photos and updates! We’ve had her watch our dog twice so far and wouldn’t hesitate to do so in the future!”
“Minjia was careful to get all the details needed to look after our spaniel and regularly sent pics and videos to assure us she was being well looked after. I would happily let her look after her again and recommend her to others.”
“Erin was the perfect dog host and provided regular updates and pictures throughout the 4 night stay. While my dog and Erins did not exactly see eye2eye, Erin handled it just fine. I would have no problem in recommending Erin.”
“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.”
“Leah has been amazing from start to finish and I would thoroughly recommend her. She was great at communicating and very professional with her approach to all of the training that Billy is still needing because he is still so young. I was very happy leaving Billy in her capable hands and am already planning some more dates in the future.”
“I am just incredibly grateful and happy I found Joseph C. We had a really big dilemma finding someone to look after our miniature schnauzer ahead of a week’s holiday planned in September. My mind was already at ease when we went to meet her - Lola was so relaxed when we went there (she can usually barks when she first meets someone but she didn’t at all!!) While we were away, we were sent updates and I can clearly see from the images that Lola had a great time. 5 stars from me - thank you for looking after our baby 🥰”
“Joey loved her stay with Arman, we got regular updates and we could see she was having a great time. Communication was great. Would definitely recommend & use again! Thankyou for looking after her so well ☺️”

Jack has been absolutely amazing with cassie. Lots of photos and videos to put my mind at ease as I was nervous about leaving her. She is a rescue who we've only had 2 months and she has had a really rough start in life. Was worried she would think shes being abandoned again. She has had lots of walks, cuddles and taken over his bed! Not even home from our holiday yet but already planning her next visit to him along with her big sister. 100% would recommend Jack to look after your fur babies!
Sally and her fiancée were great with my dog and he seemed to love his 2 days with them 🙂. Sally also kept me updated with various photos through the day of walks and my dog relaxing in there home 👍. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone wanting someone to trust with their dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rotherham on Rover is £32.2 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 .
