About: I was raised in farmhouse where we used to have many animals. Pets were treated as proper family members, not only addition to our house. As a dog lover, I would like to provide real, loving home for your little fella while you are away, so you can enjoy your stay without any worries. PS. your dog will enjoy it too ! 😊 Currently, I stay at home with our little boy, so we have plenty of time to take care of new quest in our home. Me and little Jacob would love to have some company to fill our day with walks and play time. I am available 7 days a week. We have got big, properly fenced garden and plenty of free time- that's the best combination 😊If you have got any questions, please feel free to ask.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and I’ve always had a passion for pets. I’ve rescued numerous animals in and around my neighbourhood, including two baby squirrels, and cared for and reunited them with their owners. I am happy to care for cats and dogs with different needs and will try my best to accommodate. I currently work part-time and have a young child. However, I love animals and will accommodate as much as I can to ensure that they’re in safe, loving hands. I offer care in pet owners home and will always ensure that the owners rules are followed. In my own home we have baby gates, doors and a large fenced garden to ensure the safety of your animal.

“Marie carried out Doggy day care for our dog whilst we were away and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service provided. Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept up dated which was really nice. We will definitely be booking again.”

About: I grew up in a household with both dogs and cats, and like I always say, a house without them is not a home. They are our "other" children. You can rely on me to love your pets as if they were my own, to care for them, play with them, walk them, bathe them, brush them, give them their medication. My current work is from home, and part time, so I feel like I have all the time in the world, and not much to fill it with, now that my child is grown up. My garden is spacious and fenced, and inside my home pets are allowed everywhere. Unless otherwise specified by the owner, they sleep on my bed, lay on my couch, play with my child's old plushies.
About: Your pet isn’t just in safe hands they’re in expert, qualified, and truly caring hands. ️ Vet Recommended Full Time Pet Professional. I have got the patience and the expertise. I'm a Sheffield local of 12 years with a lifelong passion for animal care and a big heart currently missing a canine companion. My deep understanding and love for pets comes from years of hands-on experience. Back in Italy, my family's American Pitbull Terrier, Khabib, was my energetic best friend. We'd enjoy multiple walks daily, often covering 3-4 miles at a time to satisfy his wonderful, lively spirit. I truly miss those walks. I'm also experienced with cats, having cared for our two majestic Maine Coons, Lilith and Satanas. This included daily playtime, gentle brushing, and all the affection they could handle, they always chose my bed to sleep on at night! The main goal with dogs is to know what’s their motivation, it can be the ball, food or something else once you gain control of that your are the Boss, Dogs needs constant leadership in the young ages, and I’m very good instructing discipline and reward their good behaviour with certified first quality treats.

“I honestly can’t thank Stacey enough for the amazing care she gave Ozzy while I was at work. Leaving your dog with someone else can be worrying, but she made me feel completely at ease from day one. Stacey kept me updated with lots of lovely photos and messages throughout the day, so I always knew Ozzy was happy and having the best time. It was obvious she cared for him as if he were her own, giving him so much love, attention, and care. The biggest sign of all was on the second day—Ozzy couldn’t wait to get back and actually ran straight to her house with his tail wagging! That told me everything I needed to know about how comfortable and happy he was with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy, Ozzy.”

About: Our Labrador Benji has come such a long way! When we rescued him two years ago, he was anxious and struggled with trust. Today, he's the sweetest, most playful boy you'll meet. His journey taught us patience, compassion, and what dogs truly need to thrive. We'll give your dog that same dedication—plus a built-in playmate who never says no to a game of fetch! As a work-from-home couple, we're around virtually all day—your pup will never be alone! We welcome guests on weekdays and weekends. Benji gets two daily walks to our local park, and your dog will join us. Off-lead dogs can enjoy fetch and play sessions together, while dogs who prefer staying on-lead will get quality walking time and gentle companionship at their own pace. Between walks, we will be relaxing at home with access to our fenced garden as well as treats! As we work from home, there is always someone around. The dogs will have access to our fenced garden for their needs or to play. Plenty of toys and napping spots are available too!
About: Always had animals from being so little, we had a golden Labrador when I was 11 and she was my baby. I now have a cat who I love to bits. Animals are just the best thing on earth! So Monday Tuesday Wednesday isn’t possible for me as I work 7-7 but the rest of the week I don’t work so I can fit around the cat/ dog perfect! So I have a huge garden with fencing around. I do have a cat but she’s really friendly with dogs and people, she can be with cats but that just depends how the other cat is around her.
“Joseph and his family are lovely. They truly love the dogs who are in their care, and make every effort to accommodate their needs and their owners goals. Truly a joy to share my pup with them!”

About: I have done pet sitting on and off as a side project for many years, including while living in Los Angeles, as you can see from my profile. I had been travelling and pet sitting until recently settling in Sheffield. I work from home and love having animals around. I don't have any pets of my own because I travel intermittently, so I enjoy looking after other people's pets when I can. There are several large parks near the house which are excellent for long walks where needed. While I am mostly at home, I do go out from time to time, so primarily sit for animals who are OK for up to four hours by themselves. I will do my best to check we have similar expectations before the sit begins. I work from home, so it's pretty easy to factor in any pet care routines and pick up and drop offs. I do have a back garden so there's some outside space here, and many parks close by for walks. I'm adjusting to pet sitting expectations in the UK so am prepared there may be slight differences to the US. I would usually expect that people bring their own litter tray for cats and poo bags for dogs but if that is unusual let me know. I have a relaxed home, animals are welcome on furniture, but of course if that clashes with home realities and you would prefer they don't, just let me know.
“Erin helped me out very last minute by looking after Manny while I had to attend a medical appointment. She did a great job adapting and taking care of him on a hot day, thinking about his safety and comfort. He had a wonderful time and it was very reassuring. Absolutely recommend. She is knowledgeable with rescues and sensitive dogs.”


About: I am a caring, responsible and trustworthy animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while in my care. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cuddles and regular updates for owners, so you always know your pet is in good hands. I am patient with nervous pets, energetic with playful pets, and gentle with older pets who need extra care. Your pet will be treated with love, attention and kindness just like family. I take pet safety seriously and always aim to create a calm, clean and positive environment. I have a flexible schedule and can provide loving, reliable care throughout the week and weekends. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare and boarding. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise and care during their stay with me. I provide a safe, clean and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication and routines. Pets are supervised carefully, treated with kindness, and their safety is always my top priority.

“Thanks for taking Nova for the day! It was really important that she spent the day with you so got to know you before our week long trip! She looked happy in photos and slept in the car the whole way home- that’s a sign that she’s had a good time! 💖”

About: I bring more than just love for animals, I bring a lifetime of experience. Having shared my life with both cats and dogs for over 40 years, I’ve cared for pets through every stage, from their first clumsy steps to their golden years. Friends and family always count on me as their go-to pet sitter when they travel or host guests, because they know their fur-babies will be treated like my own. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles on the sofa, or gentle care for older pets, I offer reliable, thoughtful, and genuine companionship. When I’m not buried in books, I’m happiest spending time with furry friends. Since I only work part-time in academia, I have plenty of free hours to dedicate to walks, cuddles, and check-ins. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that means early-morning walkies, evening playtime, or cozy overnight care. In my home, pets get the full “grandma’s house” treatment; cozy, relaxed, and just a little bit spoiled. They’re welcome everywhere: on the sofa, on the bed, or curled up at my feet while I read. I have a little backyard where we can enjoy fresh air and shade, and just a short walk away are the parks, perfect for ball games, stick-chasing, or gentle strolls. Cats are just as welcome here, whether they prefer a quiet nap in a sunny spot, brushing sessions, or a bit of playful pouncing. When I care for pets in the owner’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent and their environment safe, as if you’d never left. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, feeding, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I treat every pet as though they were my own, with love, respect, and lots of attention.

“Anna & Liam were absolutely great with Molly. It was her first time staying with Anna & Liam, & i’m always a little anxious when leaving Molly with someone new, but Anna & Liam put my mind at ease by sending updates & pictures throughout the day with Molly. She was tired out when Liam kindly dropped her back home......a tired dog is a happy dog! Thanks again to the both of you for taking care of Molly! We will be seeing you again very soon 😊”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rotherham on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,294 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Rotherham. About 85% of Rotherham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Rotherham commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
