“Roasalind was absolutely lovely. She took it off her own back to come and meet Nuggy before taking him out properly. A great communicator and I absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thanks very much Rosalind!”

About: I've studied animal management at college which I hold a HND (Higher National Diploma) qualification for. I did animal behaviour, training, welfare and ethics etc. I did work experience in a kennels, so I am used to dog walking, cleaning up after dogs, feeding etc. I can work with senior animals all the way to a few months old and up. Works with dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and invertebrates. See the photos section of my profile for proof of my qualification. I work part time as a carer at my home for my autistic brother. However I take bookings based on what ones I already have on (so long as the pet owner doesn't mind me popping out from time to time then I'll take it on) We have fencing to keep our dogs in the garden. In someone else's home I'd keep windows shut, doors locked unless going out, and only walk your pets in areas you advise as safe for peace of mind.
“I booked Kim to walk my rescue dog Nay, Nay has had a really tough life with lots of nervousness around people and other dogs. I was really impressed that Kim not only suggested a meet & greet but also a trial walk with herself and myself to ensure all went well. I felt really at ease with Kim she knew how to get Nay to respond on our trial walk, Nay was completely focused on her the entire time and the usual chaos walk I’m used to was completely different. I was more than happy to then let Kim and Nay go off together and enjoy there walk. Nay came back exhausted and happy she even tried to follow Kim to the car to go home with her. I’ve never known her to take to someone so well and I now can be at ease knowing Nay is being walked while I’m at work by someone who is so easily to get along with. Very friendly young woman with lots of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. I had to change the time at short notice and Kim made me feel like it was no trouble at all. I would recommend her without a doubt.”

“Megan was amazing. My puppy Barney loved her. She was very conscientious about making sure it wasn’t too hot for a walk and when it was she played with him inside instead. I really appreciated her updates and communication. Would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

About: Having grown up with a large breed dog most of my childhood (boxer dog) I quickly learnt the love and loyalty a dog gives. For the last 14 years I’ve had 2 large black labs that have now sadly gone (due to old age) and left a great big hole in my heart. Due to work commitments it wouldn’t be fair to get another dog but what I can do is give my love to another dog while its humans are in holiday or away from home. I work Monday to Friday day time but I’m happy to spend weekends and evenings looking after your dogs needs. I’m also available during school holidays. I can provide care for your dog in your home or out on a walk while you’re away from home. I’m happy to visit your home to check on your dog if you need that or take them on a walk.
About: Though I’m relatively new to pet sitting and dog walking (1 year) I have always been a huge dog lover and have a lot of experience with dogs. I’m an active and reliable sitter/walker who loves apending time outdoors - though I’m happiest when I’ve got a wagging tail by my side! I am currently on garden leave before I start a new job in Feb 26, so now have availability to dog sit and/or walk during the working day. i have plenty of time for looking after your pups and have a lot of availability for walking and boarding/sitting through the week and weekend. Typically my experience has been pet sitting in owner’s houses, though have a spacious house with a garden, situated close to two parks. I’m willing to travel around Sheffield.
About: I am a huge dog lover and have been taking care of them professionally for the last few years but have had pups my entire life. I have lots of experience of walking and caring for all different kinds of doggos, big and small, with various needs and personalities. I promise to care for your fur babies as I do my own, with lots of love and play and will give them a home away from home where they can relax and feel comfortable. I’m currently fully available for walks any day of the week. Whether this be for a regular same time walk or a last minute one off. I would treat your pets just like I treat my own, with lots of love and play. I am used to caring for dogs of all ages, I recently lost my Peaches at the age of 12, she had a push chair and needed extra time on her walks. Whilst my Pru at age 3 and Folly at 10 months are both full of energy and zoomies.
About: I have a pet dog who we raised back home in the south who I raised since he was 6 weeks. We trained him to do above average levels of commands until his illness took root and we had to reduce the exercise he had. But always able to provide fun and friendly care for animals! I’m currently not working so I’m available all day and weekends of daycare, boarding or pet sitting. I’m an outdoorsy person and couple so walks will always be common with any services. I have a ground floor pet friendly apartment with a riverside greenery area just outside common with city suburbs dog walkers for socialising, walks and playtime
“Alex was very generous during our first walk and meet-and-greet. He took the time to listen carefully to Fred’s needs and to the type of training we want him to continue with. It’s clear that Alex is confident working with large and power breeds. We will definitely continue booking walks with him, and so far we are very satisfied.”

About: Ever since I can remember dogs were a big part of the family! And that has never changed! As a pet owner (dog and hamsters) I know how important it is that our pets get the care and attention they need and that we are there when they need us! I would love to give your pet (and mine!) the attention they need when you have important things to do! :-) I work remotely so I have availability to do dog walks and drop in visits throughout the day and evenings. I like a good early start with Willow (my Shiba Inu) before starting my day. I love to spend time and socialising my Shiba with other pets (dogs and cats alike) whenever possible! She gets along with other dogs once comfortable and also happy to do the walks with just your dog if you prefer!

My working hours are 10-6. I am a trustworthy individual that only wants the best for your fur baby’s, I have 2 cats myself that are very affectionate.

“I sent a really last minute request for a dog walk for my 2 sheps for the same day due to being let down. Marie & her partner came at the requested time & were happy to oblige. I have a ring doorbell that I can check and my 2 looked so happy to have been on a walk with them both. Will definitely be using in the future. Thank you so much 🙏🏻”

About: I’ve always believed pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies who need patience and consistent training, to senior pets who thrive with gentle care and a steady routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and providing plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs, so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is my reliability, strong communication, and genuine love for animals. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to adjust to your pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening cuddles. I plan my day around the pets I care for, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Consistency is important for animals, so I follow their regular routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment so they feel at ease. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and routines, and I’m always mindful of any special needs, medications, or behaviors. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality so I can anticipate their needs and keep them happy. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and care for it as I would my own. If your pet comes to me, I make sure the environment is safe, clean, and free of hazards. I also keep doors and gates securely closed and supervise pets at all times to ensure they’re safe indoors and outdoors. Communication is just as important as care—I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having their needs met.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs practically my whole life! I grew up around all kinds of animals in my home including cats and dogs..at my mums home that I recently moved out of I have 4 cats and 4 dogs I used to care for religiously whilst my parents were away! Right now however I live alone with my 8 month old and would love some furry friends to love and keep me busy whilst I am off work. Which also means I’m available most days ! I am off work at the moment and currently looking for a part time job so I have lots of free time to care and walk our loving pets I have a 2 bedroom flat with a large living room which is safe for both cats and dogs. I have no pets of my own. I also live very close to Thrybergh country park meaning walking is no issue… my garden is not fenced off as it is a shared garden but again this shouldn’t be an issue as long as pets are ok on lead and I will be with them whilst outside 24/7
