Information

We are a small, home-based business run by life-long animal lovers and pet owners. We have one aim: to provide your pets with love and care whilst you are away from home. We are extremely passionate about animals and can assure you that every guest staying with us will get the dedicated care that our own pets do!

Whether it's for just one night or a few weeks, we can ensure your furry friends have a comfortable and happy home-away-from-home whilst staying at Rose Lodge. 

Although small animal boarding establishments do not require licences, we are fully DBS-checked and have business insurance with PetPlan Sanctuary.

We are based in Killamarsh, a small town on the edge of Sheffield and Derbyshire And only 5 minutes from J30 of the M1. We are easily accessed from all areas of South Yorkshire and North-East Derbyshire, although guests are welcome to travel to us from anywhere!

We offer boarding for:

• Rabbits
• Guinea pigs
• Rats
• Hamsters
• Gerbils
• Mice
• Degus
• Hedgehogs
• Budgies

We may be able to accommodate other small animals, but unfortunately do not currently board  reptiles.

Please see the 'Accommodation' page for details and photographs of our different boarding facilities.

As boarding prices are different for each animal and accommodation type, please see the 'Prices' page.
