“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.”

“Teddy was happy and wore out at the end he defiantly had a lot of fun playing with her child and them in the garden. And sent us pictures of him throughout the stay. We Would recommend her (:”

“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.”

“Marley has had a great time again in Erin and Skye’s company! Lovely long walks and lots of sofa cuddles. What a great dog sitter Erin is. We’re so pleased we found you Erin! Highly recommend 🐶❤️”

“Karen offered Sodapop a relaxing and secure environment for her overnight stay. Karen is clearly an experienced and knowledgeable dog lover and we felt extremely comfortable leaving Sodapop in her care. She provided regular updates and photos of their time together which was very reassuring. We will definitely use Karen's services again.”

“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”

“Sara was the perfect step in mummy for my fur babies. They don’t always settle easily, but with Sára they were super comfortable and happy. I would have absolutely no hesitation in booking with Sara again, and no hesitation in recommending her. The best dog sitter we have had by far!”

“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.”

“Amy and her partner were absolutely brilliant. They arranged to meet up with me before the boarding so that my dog could meet theirs. Communication was fantastic and my doggy seemed to have a lovely time having a sleepover 😊 Will definitely book again”


“Mason has had Goober twice now each time Mason has cared for him so well. The second time he bounced into Mason with excitement. This always makes me happy. Mason has always been in contact with any questions and letting us know how he is. I would highly recommend Goober loved his walks and visit to the pub!”


“We left dita for the first time with someone who wasn’t family or close friends, we were very wary of this and how it would go, But our worries and concerns were immediately delt with. She accommodated dita with loving care and attention as she had an injured leg with antibiotics and pain relief. Not one single tablet was missed and dita was comfortable. We had multiple videos and updates every single day, I would thoroughly recommend booking with d, we for sure will be using again in the near future. 5 stars would give more if I could! Thanks for having dita and loving her as your own x”

About: I’ve owned and lived with dogs my whole life, and have plenty of experience looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. I’m most experienced with small to medium-sized breeds, but I’m also very comfortable around larger dogs. I have my own Labradoodle, Bear, at home, so I’m used to the everyday responsibilities of caring for a dog and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m an active person and love getting out for walks or runs and exploring with the dogs in my care. Whether they’re looking for a long walk and plenty of exercise or are happier taking things at a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to what suits them. For me, looking after a dog is about more than simply keeping them safe. I want them to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family while they’re with me, with plenty of attention, play and affection along the way. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated as part of the family and won’t be left on their own for long periods. My wife and I both work on a hybrid basis, so there will always be someone at home. We’ll only accept a booking when one of us is available to be there. We’re both active and enjoy getting out with the dogs, so you can expect regular walks throughout the day — usually in the morning, around midday and again in the afternoon. We have plenty of nearby fields, woodland and open spaces, giving us lots of opportunities for longer walks and exploring. There’s also regular access to our garden for some fresh air, playtime or simply relaxing outside. Bear will usually join us for walks and play, giving dogs the opportunity to have a companion during their stay. Of course, we’ll always take introductions at the dogs’ own pace and can keep them separated if that’s more comfortable or preferred. For overnight stays, your dog will be welcome to sleep with Bear, or we can provide a separate space if they prefer their own space or need to be kept apart. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a completely secure garden, with plenty of space for dogs to enjoy some fresh air and play safely. Dogs will usually spend time with Bear, including on walks and around the house. Bear is incredibly soft and sweet natured. But we do understand that not every dog will be comfortable living alongside another dog. We’re able to keep dogs separated whenever needed or preferred, and we’ll always take introductions slowly and follow your dog’s temperament and routine. We also have the flexibility to use a crate or a large, covered area that can be fully enclosed, giving dogs a safe and comfortable space of their own when they need some quiet time. Above all, we’re responsible, sensible and professional people who genuinely love dogs. We’ll take the time to understand your dog, follow the instructions you leave us and make sure they’re safe, happy and well cared for throughout their 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.”


“Ana was brilliant with our nervy puppy, Lola, and was able to accommodate us at short notice! She was happy to have a couple of meet & greets with us so Lola could get used to her, it was her first time being away from all of our family. I think she dedicated all her time to Lola, making her feel welcome, and she kept us updated with photos and videos.”

“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 ❤️🐶”

“Leah was fantastic. I needed a super last minute sitter due to works being carried out in my home, and Leah was able to look after Bean no issue. She kept me up to date with pictures and Bean loved his time with her. 10/10 would use her again! Thank you Leah 🖤😻”

“Karolina was excellent with Onni, she spent time earning her trust and making sure she was happy. We felt really confident leaving Onni with her, she made sure she asked all the important questions about her needs, and clearly knows a lot about dogs. We got lots of updates about Onni and it was really reassuring to see how happy she was with Karolina, getting lots of love and attention. Thank you ❤️”


About: I have had experience with cats and dogs on and off my whole life. I had a cat (Tinkerbell) when I was younger and more recently my brother and sister in law gained three beautiful dogs ( two cavapoos and a dachshund) a tortoise called Sheldon and 5 chickens. I have helped look after all these for them and I absolutely love it .I would love my own dog but can't at present due to work/family commitments. However I would love to take care of one in my free time. I live alone majority of the time, but co parent my children. The availability I offer is based on work and my child free days. My hobbies are walking, reading and spending time with my partner and friends. Im Very excited and can't wait to meet your beloved doggies ☺️ I work from home on a Thursday and Friday so these and the weekend would be the days I would be mostly available. I have a lunch break and will work downstairs so I can attend to the animals needs and extra cuddles ☺️ I own my home and have no pets currently. I share custody of my three daughters but the availability will be based on when I don't have them. I have a fenced garden and plenty of indoor space for them. I'm not a ornament/trinket kind of gal so they have pretty much free reign downstairs and outside.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rotherham 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 2,468 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rotherham. 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 .
