Dog boarding and day care in Rotherham, area by area
Rotherham's five areas run from the town centre out to Kimberworth and Rawmarsh, Wath and Swinton, Rotherham east, and Maltby and Wickersley, and this directory's eleven dog boarding, day-care and home-boarding businesses sit across all five, though unevenly. Rotherham east currently holds only one listed business.

The five areas follow postcode districts: Rotherham centre covers S60, Kimberworth, Wingfield & Rawmarsh covers S61 and S62, Wath & Swinton covers S63, Rotherham east covers S65, and Maltby & Wickersley covers S66.
Kimberworth, Wingfield & Rawmarsh
Three businesses cover this area: We Love Pets Rotherham, a home-boarding franchise branch covering the Kimberworth side of the borough; Netherlands Boarding Kennels, a small kennels on Grange Lane in Thorpe Hesley; and Vale Boarding Kennels, a kennels and cattery on Warren Vale in Rawmarsh.
Maltby & Wickersley
Also three businesses: Jaycliffe Pets, a combined kennels, cattery, day care, grooming and hydrotherapy business in Thurcroft; Play, Paws, Repeat, a home boarder covering several villages on this side of the borough; and Sandy Lane Kennels & Cattery, a 25-kennel site in Bramley.
Rotherham centre
Two businesses are listed here: Old Flatts Farm, a canine lodge near Treeton offering holistic add-ons alongside boarding, and Animals at Home Rotherham, a home-boarding franchise branch covering the whole borough from a base in the centre.
Wath & Swinton
Two businesses: Wath Kennels, a long-running kennels, cattery, day care and pet shop on Station Road, and Clayton Lane Boarding Kennels, a family-run kennels in Thurnscoe that is actually licensed by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council rather than Rotherham, since Thurnscoe itself falls under Barnsley.
Rotherham east
Only one business is currently listed here, Paws Express, a home boarder offering dog walking, day care and grooming alongside overnight home boarding. This is a genuine gap in what could be confirmed with a working phone number, not a sign that nothing else operates on this side of the borough: further searches kept resurfacing the same names already listed under other areas rather than a new, independent Rotherham east business. If you are near this area, it is worth calling Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council directly, since no public register exists to check for yourself, or asking neighbours and a local vet who they use for boarding and day care nearby.
How these areas were worked out
An area shown here follows the postcode district a business's own site, its own JSON-LD address data, or a local aggregator repeating that same information places it in. Every business shown also has a confirmed phone number from its own site, so the counts above only include businesses that could actually be reached, not every name found in research.
