“Alex agreed to do a drop in visit for our cocker spaniel at quite short notice. He did a meet and greet, our dog really liked him and his communication was great. We'd definitely book again and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Alex!”
“nichola was so amazing with yuumi! she helped us at such short notice and was so accomodating :) sent us updates with each visit and took great care of our kitten thank you so much!”
“Eugenie is so friendly and lovely! She took care of my sweet kitty Ari for 7 days and was terrific! She was very communicative, did everything I asked of her, and my very shy cat warmed up to her. I had to make a last minute change and she was very accommodating. I really appreciated her updates, photos, and videos she sent. My cat had some digestive issues and she informed me right away and was able to adjust to give her something for that. She even opened and shut the windows as needed. I couldn’t have asked for more and I will be using her in the future whenever I have to go away. Thank you Eugenie for giving Ari love, care, and attention!”
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.
“Grace was a fab cat sitter. Very friendly, communicative & kind. My cat liked her company and I came home to a very happy kitty! Fully recommend & Stickers hopes you can come again next time 🥰 x”
About: Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover living in Sheffield. I grew up around pets and deeply understand that dogs and cats aren't just animals—they are family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry companions behind, which is why my top priority is to provide reliable, high-quality care that keeps their usual routine intact. I have practical, hands-on experience looking after friends' and neighbors' pets. For example, I recently spent two days caring for a friend's dog who was a bit timid and nervous about being away from their owner. By spending quality time together, staying calm, and being patient, I successfully helped the dog settle down, feel comfortable, and enjoy their walks. Currently, I have a very flexible schedule, making me highly available throughout the week for dog walking and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs a fun walk to burn off energy or just some friendly company, you can rest assured they are in safe, loving, and responsible hands. I currently have a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my weekly routine. I am available throughout the week for morning, midday, or afternoon dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Because my hours are adaptable, I can easily accommodate your pet's usual routine—whether that means sticking to your dog's regular walk timings or ensuring your cat is fed and checked on at their exact usual meal times. Since I focus exclusively on drop-in visits and dog walking, my priority is maintaining safety and security in your pet's own familiar environment. During home visits, I am extremely mindful of household security, ensuring all doors and windows are safely locked so curious cats or dogs stay securely inside. When out walking dogs, they will always remain securely on-leash for their safety. For cat visits, I deeply respect their boundaries and let them set the pace for interaction while thoroughly managing their litter boxes, fresh water, and meals. I am a highly responsible person who will always send detailed photo updates of your happy cats or dogs after each visit for your total peace of mind! I also have a professional camera, so if you need portraits of your pet, I’d be happy to provide high-quality photos of your adorable furry friends.
“Thank you so much for all your care for our little Fur baby. She is such a shy and timid little girl but it sounds like you two had such a great bond and she was so comfortable. This meant we could enjoy our trip knowing our Luna was in great hands, thank you ❤️”
About: Grew up on a farm, had multiple dogs from a young age; patterdale terriers and a German Wirehaired Pointer. Ever since, I've always loved playing and taking care of my friends' and family's dogs. My favourite was the runt of the litter of one of my mum's dogs who I persuaded my mum to keep, and she turned into a lovely ball of fluffy fun who was always by my side! I am currently very free and available so I can accommodate any time you require, especially weekdays. I do have less flexibility over the weekend. I'm very safety conscious, taking your needs and requirements into consideration. I do live in a 4th floor flat with no lift with pet owners on each floor so I will ensure your dog is on a lead and under control whilst going up and down the stairs.
“Grace did a drop in visit for our two dogs, took them for a walk and fed them. All went well and we were able to enjoy our day trip knowing our dogs were being cared for. I would definitely use Grace again in the future.”
“So pleased we booked with Sena! She was so friendly and patient and we loved the videos of the cuddles she was getting with our (usually very shy) cat. Thank you Sena, see you next time we go away!”
“Elena responded very quickly to our enquiry to look after our cat Rosy while we were on holiday, and was proactive about understanding Rosy’s needs and routine, asking insightful questions. We received many photos and notes while we were away, which gave us plenty of assurance that Rosy was being cared for very well. We returned home to a happy and content cat! Elena patently loves cats and can be trusted to look after them - can definitely recommend!”
About: I started by walking my own dog when I was 10, now I'm not in a position to have my own I love to meet and play with dogs and cats belonging to my family and friends. I'm friendly, caring and considerate, and quickly bond with animals. I have even become the second favourite person in the world to my sister's dog who doesn't give trust easily. I get a full on singing and dancing welcome every toner i visit! I have also built trust with an ex stray cat of my girlfriend, who has given meet kicks and likes to come for some fuss now and then. I work part time, between 8-10:30am and 2:30-4:30pm (or thereabouts) on weekdays, so i have plenty of time during the day to walk and care for your furry family. I'm also available dinner evenings and weekends too. I always leave other people's homes as I find them and maybe even a little better if there is time. I will make sure that your pet has water and anything else it reasonably needs for their health and safety before I leave.
About: I’ve lived in Sheffield for a few years and love getting out with dogs. I’m always keen to learn what works best for your pet so I can make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after 😊 I’m available most days at the moment as I’m studying medicine at uni. I live in a flat but would take your dog out regularly and for walks as specified by you :) I live alone so your pet will be the centre of my attention. We will always just walk the two of us, and I will follow any specific requirements you provide.

We can't recommend Natasha enough! She keeps Bertie fed and happy (he feels more than comfortable enough to sit on her lap and get some attention too.) I think this is maybe our fourth time time using Natasha's services and we'll be using her again in a couple of week's time.
Rhian was fab! She got to know our cats really well and it was lovely to see pictures of them sitting with (or on) her. Rhian was very attentive with their food, litter and water needs and spent time playing with them on each visit. The check in cards were thorough and put our minds at ease while we were away. I would definitely rebook and recommend ☺️
Thank you, Michelle, for feeding Alex & Tyler and keeping me updated every day. I was let down very last minute by a friend so decided to give the app a go and knew at the meet and greet that Michelle was reliable and caring. Very happy with the service and I will be asking her again in the future.
Maream has been a real life saver for me. I had to unexpectedly extend my trip due to a cancelled flight, and Maream made herself available on super short notice. She and my previous cat sitter took initiative to walk through the care monty needs and to organise a handover of my keys. She gave me detailed reports every day, and went above and beyond to make my Monty comfortable. She made sure to clean up any messes immediately and gave monty a lot of cuddle and play time. Maream also decided to put some "cat TV" videos on which I know monty loves! Due to the fact I was still stuck abroad, we were unable to have a meet and greet beforehand. Despite that, Maream immediately put me at ease with her upbeat nature and great communication. Will definitely book in again!
After our previous cat sitter moved out of town, I found Ellen on here to drop in and help look after our cats whilst we were away. So so pleased with our decision to use her. Such a lovely person, great communication and we immediately felt at ease having her look after Frankie and Teddy. We got daily updates and came back to two very happy cats. We will absolutely be asking Ellen to look after our babies again!
Teagan managed to bring my very shy, timid old furball around to welcoming her presence and allowing fusses. I loved receiving not just photos, but updates on how they were coping and their well being. She is experienced with senior kittizens and administering meds. The younger fuzzball was equally delighted and got lots of cuddles and play. I am a first time user of Rover services and am very happy we found Teagan.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sheffield on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,648 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Sheffield. About 92% of Sheffield 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
