About: For the past two years, I have been the proud owner of a wonderful tabby cat. Being a cat parent has taught me firsthand the daily dedication it takes to care for a pet—from keeping up with feeding routines and litter box maintenance to reading feline body language and providing plenty of love and playtime. I have plenty of experience interacting with both dogs and cats in their homes. I frequently join family and friends on their dog walks, meaning I am comfortable on the leash, know how to handle dogs out in public, and love helping them burn off some energy. As I have just completed my A-levels, I have an entirely open and flexible schedule for the summer until mid-September! Because I don’t have daily work or university commitments right now, pet care easily fits into my routine. I am available all days of the week, morning through night, meaning your pet will get my full, undivided attention and companionship. I am dedicated to keeping a consistent routine for your pets, with the only exceptions being a few pre-planned summer holidays where I will be away: June 22nd – June 29th August 20th – August 27th August 29th – September 5th Outside of those specific dates, my schedule is completely clear and open for walks, daycare, or sitting When caring for pets, safety, routine, and personalized attention are my top priorities. Whether looking after an animal in my home or yours, I bring a high level of responsibility to their daily care. For dogs: I am lucky enough to live just a 10-minute walk away from Graves Park, where I go daily. I frequently join my neighbor and her puppy on these walks, giving me great, hands-on experience handling dogs outside, maintaining a secure grip on the leash, and being aware of our surroundings. If I am walking or sitting your dog, they will get lovely, energetic trips to the park to burn off energy, always tailored safely to their age, breed, and your specific instructions. For cats: As the sole carer for my own outdoor tabby cat, I completely understand the vigilance required to keep a pet safe. Because we don’t have a cat flap, I am used to closely monitoring my pet's whereabouts, ensuring she safely enters and leaves the house at the right times. I manage her strict twice-a-day feeding routine, keep her active with daily playtime, and—most importantly—make sure she gets plenty of cuddles and neck scratches on the sofa.

About: Hi, I'm Taryn! I'm based in Sheffield and building The Peak Pack, a local dog walking and pet care service and I'm excited to get to know dogs (and their humans) here on Rover while I grow my experience. I've had my own dogs for years, so I understand the little things that matter, favourite walk routes, food quirks, what makes a nervous dog feel safe, and how much dogs just want a bit of consistency and attention in their day. I've also spent time supporting an established local dog walker, learning the ropes of managing multiple dogs safely and confidently on a real working round. Whether your dog needs a calm solo stroll or some social time in a small group, I'll treat them exactly how I'd want my own dogs treated — with patience, plenty of fuss, and a good sniff around wherever they like. Sheffield's on the doorstep of the Peak District, so we're never short of lovely places to explore. I'm currently working towards my Canine First Aid certification and NarpsUK membership as I build up The Peak Pack, and I'd love the chance to start building trusted relationships with dogs and owners here on Rover. A free meet-and-greet is always welcome before we book anything, so your dog can get comfortable with me first. I'm completely prioritising building The Peak Pack right now, so I have plenty of flexibility for dog walking — available weekday mornings, evenings, and weekends. With at least a week's notice, I can also accommodate occasional weekday and weekend house sitting bookings, staying at your home to look after your pet while you're away. Just let me know your regular schedule or upcoming dates and I'll do my best to fit around it. I don't offer boarding at my own home — instead, for house sitting and home visits, I come to you and stay in or visit your home directly, so your pet keeps their familiar surroundings and routine. I follow your care instructions exactly as given (feeding times, walk routes, medication, house rules), keep your home secure at all times, and send photo updates throughout the visit or stay so you always know how things are going. I'm also completing my Canine First Aid certification in August, so I'll be prepared to handle any minor injuries or emergencies calmly and confidently.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was about 8 years old. Growing up on a working farm, we always had much loved pets. Friends and family have relied on me to house sit while looking after their pets, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and feeding them. I’m experienced with handling multiple animals, including special needs senior doggies and high energy puppies of all sizes. I love all animals, and adore dogs especially. Pet sitting is a happy medium for me as I cannot have pets in my current rented accommodation. I'm currently working part time remotely, so I will have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks (or runs for those energetic pups) and play with it. I'm available for boarding throughout the week. I will be very happy to take your dog on plenty of walks and/or just be the best cuddle buddy. I will provide all the care, attention, and love to your beloved pet as if it was my own.
“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.”

About: I love pets! I have been around them since I was born, as my parents got a dog before having children. I’m sensitive snd have a sense of kinship with pets, being the youngest child and all!!😁 I would be happy to help you with your pet caring needs. I can: - Go on a nice walk with your doggo, so you can have a relaxed and exercised pet (who will not destroy your favorite shoes!) when you get home. - Board them in my home during the day - Caring visits and spending time with them in your home during the day - Stay with them in your home while you’re away Each pet has different needs and preferences, so I’ll be very happy to discuss their needs, and yours. Please feel welcomed to send any inquiries on how I can help you with your pet caring needs! I’m a postgraduate student in a flexible, writing-up phase. I’m available from 8 am to 10 pm for dog walks, can fit around your schedule, and am available short-notice. I’m respectful and a good listener, so will be aware to and uphold any guidance and boundaries you communicate. I aim to leave things as I found them in any home that I am in. I have a home with a garden which I can host your pet in. I ask that you supply their usual supplies (food, accessories, toys, bedding), so they can be comfortable away from home. As I have 2 cats in my home, who are still getting used to dogs, I will not be able to provide overnight boarding. However, I am happy to look after your pet in your home overnight.
“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: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. From the age of 12, I grew up with Patterdale terriers, which were entered into dog shows and won terrier racing four years in a row. We also bred them, giving me early experience handling puppies, supporting early training, and understanding canine behaviour from a young age. I have been a horse rider for six years while growing up, which involved daily care, handling, grooming, and an understanding of animal responsibility and safety. I have also lived in two households with cats and have cared for a total of five cats, managing feeding routines, litter care, and individual temperaments. Alongside this, I have worked as a dog walker on and off throughout my life, handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, and behavioural needs. This experience has made me confident, calm, and attentive when caring for animals, with a strong focus on their wellbeing, routine, and comfort. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I organise my schedule to ensure I can give animals consistent attention for feeding, walks, play, and companionship. I am reliable with routines and timings, and I plan my days so that pet care is never rushed. I am able to accommodate regular bookings as well as occasional or short-notice care, and I adjust my routine to suit each pet’s needs, whether that’s structured walk times, quiet check-ins, or longer stays. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and respectful way, whether in my own home or in a pet owner’s home. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medication, and house rules, to keep pets comfortable and settled. In a pet owner’s home, I maintain a clean, secure environment and respect the space as I would my own. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are safely managed, and I keep routines as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I am attentive to pets’ behaviour and wellbeing and will contact the owner promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, tidy environment with appropriate supervision, safe spaces to rest, and regular interaction. I never leave pets unsupervised for long periods and ensure they are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Safety, trust, and clear communication are central to how I work, and I aim to give both pets and owners peace of mind.
About: I've been taking care of a few different dogs, sitting and walking them. I'm fairly new to this but really caring from the reason. I always try to listen to and ask about each figure a dog has, and remember it to comfort the pet as much as I can. I'm working from home as a freelance, so basically can do pet care most of the times. I could go and visit most of the towns around Sheff by bus or tran. In terms of sitting(at mind), I'm off on Thursday and Friday but flexible on any other days. I get the guideline or any details about the pets and ask questions depending on the environments, and try to give some space for the pets to get used to me being around them. Then if I see them feeling comfortable, I carefully approach to them in friendly ways making sure they can have a good time staying with me.
“Taylor has been wonderful with our puppy! She was really positive when we met at the meet and greet and bonded instantly with our pup. She has been such a help with home puppy visits and has worked on basic skills with our puppy each time which has been a great help. She keeps us up to date with lots of photos and updates which has been really reassuring. Would thoroughly recommend Taylor and we will be continuing to use her!”


“I had a wonderful experience with this cat sitter. Pairs is incredibly attentive and takes great care in spending quality time interacting with my cat during every visit. She always keeps me updated with timely feedback and communicates any issues right away, which gives me a lot of peace of mind.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around pets, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and that’s exactly the kind of sitter I aim to be. I’m patient, reliable, and will always treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether they love long walks, playing with their favourite toy, or just having someone nearby for company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special instructions you leave. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. As someone who genuinely cares about animals, my priority is making sure every pet feels comfortable, gets plenty of attention, and enjoys their time with me just as much as you enjoy your time away. I’m a business student and have recently finished my course. I’m now waiting to start university in September, which means I have plenty of free time and a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for your pet, whether that’s daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and settled while you’re away. As I currently live in student accommodation, I’m unable to offer pet boarding in my own home. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet in your home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and stick to their usual routine. I also offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, from feeding and walks to playtime and any special requirements your pet may have. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in trustworthy hands.
About: I have looked after my own dog coco for 11 years now. She is a maltipoo and is a rescue dog and is really playful with all dogs she meets. It would be great for her to have some company here. I go on regular walks to many nature reserves in Yorkshire and know lots of good dog walking spots. I have time off during the year as I'm a teacher, so I’m happy to help out whilst you go on holiday. I will be free and at home doing some work so your dog will not be unsupervised. I know what it’s like to try to find pet care when going away. That’s why I charge a low price. For me, it’s about making it affordable because looking after pets is a privilege and should be fun. I have a spacious house. Coco is very welcoming and very playful. I have a spare bedroom, but happy to accommodate your dog in my bedroom if you wish. I have plenty of green spaces for walks nearby, as well as a spacious garden. I’m happy for my dog to meet yours in advance if that would make you feel more at ease before handover.
“My dog absolutely loves Yahvi, he gets to excited when he sees her! She’s been brilliant - very relaxed, communicative and knowledgeable. We’ve booked her for a couple of walks and will now be leaving the pup with her for a week while we go on holiday.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 14. I was the neighbourhood/ family friend dog sitter. Pet sitting in their homes as well as dog walking I was the go to girl. I have an older frenchie, who is crate trained and low energy 90% of the time (loves play and snoozing). If your animals do not get on with others, he has an alternate owner to stay with. Please just let me know. I work from home permanently so your pets needs will fit into my work schedule very easily. Whether I am pet sitting in your home or dropping by, my full attention will be to your animals. If your dogs are ok with others, Charlie would love a park play date / walk. If they do not get along with others (Charlie), I will split my working day, dedicating 4-5hrs at a time (morning or afternoon). Please let me know your preferences. He has alternate arrangements for nighttime sleeping. From playtime, walks and park fun your pet will have a purfect day. My full attention will cater to any special needs. If training is required, please let me know what the training plan, commands etc are so I can make sure your pup is on track.
“Lifesaver!! Had a spontaneous night out and came to the rescue to come and check in on beau. Great communication, including photos on arrival and a text confirming she had been and gone. Beau was fast asleep when I got home and we both really appreciate it”

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.
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.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Sheffield
I am so glad I chose Nichola to do drop on visits for my elderly dog, Lola. Nichola was fantastic with her, and clearly understood the needs of an older dog. She arrived at the agreed times every day, and she sent me loads of photos each day, and I could see that Lola was happy and got cuddles and attention from Nichola.

Lois is a very friendly trustworthy person. She did a meet and greet with my dog and came to do a dog visit. Uploaded pictures of my dog for peace of mind and gave a brief overview of the visit. Will deffo be asking Lois to look after my dog again, highly recommend.

Lexi did a drop in visit for George (our harrier hound). Lexi took him a decent walk and kept me up to date and followed up the next day asking how he was. Lexi popped round and did a meet and greet beforehand and was very friendly and asked all the right questions I would definitely recommend

Taylor took Benji for a walk for me while I was away for the day. She sent me loads of updates and pics so I felt reassured that he was ok. It had been a while since she last looked after him, so she made an effort to win him over with treats and a fuss. I'll definitely be using Taylor again in the future when I need help.
