“Karen was an amazing dog sitter, so lovely and could tell they made our dog very comfortable. Really took the time to get to know our dog and what helps them feel safe and happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Megan and her partner were great with Patch. He had an amazing time and settled really well into their environment. Both very experienced and with this being Patch’s first time we were a little nervous however they reassured us and kept us up to date and there were no issues at all. We loved that they were both relaxed and delivered a 5 star service. We’ll definitely be using them again.”
“Minjia did a really great job with Franklin and helped us feel at ease while we traveled. For close to a week she made sure to provide us with consistent updates and pictures/videos, and we really appreciated all the time, care and effort she put in.”
“Soraya has been amazing with my doggy, left with her on a very cold and wet week they had lots of walks and chills too! Couldn’t be happier, great communication whilst trusting he’s in good hands!”
“5 star care again for our beloved boy Marley. He’s had lots of cuddles and lovely walks with Erin. Thank you for looking after him again for us. We wouldn’t trust anyone else now with Marley’s care. 100% recommend. Thank you 🙏 🐶❤️❤️”
“Hannah was great - it was the first time we'd left our whippet (10 months old) and Hannah couldn't have been nicer. She was flexible, sent regular updates and looked after Jim superbly. We'd definitely recommend her and would 100% rebook.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover based in Sheffield with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to larger dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped train them to be crate trained, potty trained, and even learn fun tricks. I love getting outdoors for long walks and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they need. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to suit their personality and routine. I live in a quiet, calm home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I also have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐾 Pet care fits really well into my routine. I attend university roughly twice a week during term time and I climb around three times a week, but outside of that I have a very flexible schedule as I’m not currently working. This gives me lots of time and availability to dedicate to looking after pets, whether that’s walks, daycare, or boarding. I have a calm, pet-friendly home with no children, no other pets, and I do not smoke. I have an unfenced garden that is backed by houses away from roads, and dogs will always be supervised and taken out on a lead for regular toilet breaks. I can also offer frequent walks, with several nearby parks providing plenty of safe exercise and variety. Your dog will always be cared for in a safe, relaxed environment with their comfort and routine prioritised.
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.
“What can I say but highly recommend this lovely family! I was sent various pictures and videos day and night of walking, eating, sleeping, playing and resting. Luna definitely enjoyed her stay and was very well looked and cared after with lots of love. . Much better way than taking our fur babies to kennels. Highly recommend.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters than Ebony and Reuben! They were absolutely wonderful – friendly, caring, and professional from start to finish. They followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated frequently, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Marlow was clearly very well looked after and happy in their care. Truly top-notch service – we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”
“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!”
“I had the pleasure of having Nichola look after my little Teddy for one night this past Friday, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention he received. From start to finish, Nichola demonstrated a genuine love for animals and a commitment to ensuring Teddy's comfort and wellbeing. Nichola's communication was fabulous, providing regular updates and even sending adorable photos of Teddy enjoying his time under her care. This not only reassured me but also allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing Teddy was in capable hands. What stood out the most was Nichola's understanding Teddy's 'specific' needs (bed time water and snuggles!). She took the time to learn about his routine, dietary requirements, and favorite activities. It was evident that she went above and beyond to make Teddy feel at home. I highly recommend Nichola's dog sitting services to anyone seeking a responsible and caring pet sitter. Teddy had such a positive experience that I wouldn't hesitate to entrust Nichola with his care again in the future. Thank you, Nichola, for providing Teddy with a home away from home!”
“Danielle and Ryan are lovely, friendly, enthusiastic and kind people who our dog, Lucy, instantly connected with. Our premeet at their home and local park filled me with confidence they would provide a safe and happy stay. They kindly sent messages and photos through the stay, including adventures out in the Peaks! Lucy clearly had a great time, and I have already rebooked!”
“Savina was wonderful with my husky, especially during the heat. They showed great knowledge including first aid for dogs and I was kept up to date with photos, I felt so at ease! I would highly recommend Savina and definitely would book again :) thank you x”
“My doggo had a great time boarding with Sára! Would happily recommend. She gave lots of updates with many pics, was punctual and took care of his meds awell. He was also sad to see her leave lol, so thats a good indication of their time together.”
“Ellen and Kieran were brilliant dog sitters - Lilly is a very giddy spaniel and not for the faint hearted but they welcomed her into their home and she had a blast. Ellen kept us updated with photos and messages and Lilly looked very happy in their company. We would love for Lilly to return to Ellen for our next trip :)”
“Milo has enjoyed his weekend with Charlotte. He has had lots of walks to different places and cuddles in front of the tv. I would recommend Charlotte and would use her services again.”
“I would highly recommend Mirela-Gabriela. She was amazingly welcoming with my anxious dog. She kept me updated regularly with photos and let me know about his walks, food and how he'd settled in. Mirela is clearly a lover of animals and I will definitely be rebooking soon. Fantastic at settling a nervous dog.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sheffield is £30

Soraya has been a lovely carer for Paco, wanting to establish good rapport from the start and understanding his needs and wants. She's been communicative over the days she's looked after him and has followed all the indications we gave her. Paco loved staying with her!
Wilson really enjoyed his trial stay with Sam and her family. Wilson can be a bit anxious in new places at first but Sam was absolutely brilliant with him. We also received photos during the stay which really helped put our minds at ease! We have already booked a longer stay for Wilson next month and have no doubt that he will have the best time :)
Megan has looked after Lola a couple times now and she always comes home a happy girl. Megan keeps us up to date regularly and replies quickly, she sends picture updates to reassure us if we have any questions or just want to check in on how Lola is. Highly recommend using Megan is you’re in the Sheffield area, she is fantastic!
Jenna took wonderful care of Cole. She was very easy to communicate with, followed feeding and care instructions to a T, and sent plenty of updates (with photos) on their adventures. We had a wonderful weekend away knowing our pup was well cared for, and Cole will be sure to spend more time at Jenna's down the line.
Amazing work. So caring, so lovely, so passionate. Have done an amazing job with my boy Levi. Will 100% come back to them if Levi needs care again. They taught him more fun stuff and engaged his brain really well. Thank you so much Natasha and you partner Hugh. It seems Levi has been having the time of his life.
Bee stayed for 24 hours and was clearly very happy, relaxed and well cared for. I was kept updated throughout her stay with lovely photographs, which was really reassuring and meant I could relax knowing she was in safe hands. A friendly, reliable and caring dog sitter who I would happily use again. Highly recommended!
What can I say but highly recommend this lovely family! I was sent various pictures and videos day and night of walking, eating, sleeping, playing and resting. Luna definitely enjoyed her stay and was very well looked and cared after with lots of love. . Much better way than taking our fur babies to kennels. Highly recommend.
Minka was great and we would happily leave our dog, Lightning, with her again. He is an old dog who can be nervous when left alone, but Minka made sure he was well cared for from start to finish. She sent us videos and photos throughout the few days we were away, and is was wonderful to see him looking so happy and looked after. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Minka!
Karolina was absolutely lovely! She cared for Pumpkin so well, I could tell from the updates and videos she was completely settled, with all her cutest and cheekiest personality traits shining through. Karolina was really easy going and made sure Pumpkin had a chance to meet her and sniff her home before the stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Pumpkin with her again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sheffield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sheffield on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,548 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sheffield. 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 .
