“Alex walked my labrador Ruby today and did a great job. He was responsive by message and reassuring about all my questions and bits of information. He arrived on time and took Ruby on a walk around my local area, keeping her on leash as requested. He also fed her and played with her a bit, and he uploaded plenty of photos and info about her walk. Thanks Alex! Would book with you again”
“Absolutely perfect with our little terror. We booked last minute and she got back to us really quickly and had no issues with any requests. Was happy to come into our home and walk our dog. Cannot thank her enough as she has been a life saver. Could not recommend enough!”

About: I’ve been walking dogs for several years through The Cinnamon Trust, and I’ve grown up around cats and continue to have cats of my own. I have experience caring for animals with different personalities and am patient and attentive to their individual needs and routines. I really enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their personalities.

I’m very mindful of safety and security, and will always make sure doors, windows and gates are properly closed and secure when I arrive and leave. I’ll make sure pets have everything they need and are safely settled before I go. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave everything clean and tidy, with regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe.
“I highly recommend David as a dog walker! He is kind, caring and considerate. He took the time to come for a meet and greet to find out what Norma's needs are and how we want her cared for. David has been excellent with his communication, really quick to reply and really detailed. He left great detailed feedback on his walk and some lovely pictures. Thank you David :)”
About: I have a border terrier of my own and while being at university i’d love to take care of other dogs. Dogs have always been a passion of mine, I have had my dog since she was a baby and miss her during university so helping out with other people’s dogs will be an amazing opportunity! I am a trustworthy individual and would love to help out where I can. I am currently a student at Sheffield Hallam University studying marketing. My schedule consists of me being in university Monday and Friday and enjoying weekends with my friends! I am available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from mid-morning until late afternoon leaving my evenings for chores and my friends. I will cater to your needs depending on your dog- I can crate your dog or leave them out. Before meeting your dog I will ensure I know what your dog needs!
About: Ever since I was a small child, I have been completely obsessed with animals, particularly dogs!! This passion has led me to become very experienced with dogs of many different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I have volunteered at a retired greyhound kennel and worked over the summer at a dog training and boarding facility, where I have gained lots of hands-on experience caring for and handling dogs. This has included following individual feeding instructions, exercising dogs appropriately (whether that be a walk or time in the field), bathing them as well as providing enrichment! Whilst working in these kennel settings I have handled both human and dog reactive dogs, so I am confident in keeping reactive dogs both safe and happy. I also have a Romanian rescue dog of my own. She is very wary of strangers, so I understand first-hand how difficult it can be to find someone you can trust with your nervous pup. I know that some dogs need a little extra patience, reassurance and time to build trust, and I am more than happy to give them that. I’m also very experienced with small animals, having owned several hamsters and gerbils, as well as having experience caring for cats. I am a first year Zoology student at the University of Sheffield, and I would love to spend my time at university doing something I genuinely love - looking after animals! 🐾 I am a university student, so I have lots of weekend availability!! My weekly schedule can vary, so please get in touch in advance if you would like a walk or drop-in visit so I can make sure I’m available at that time😊 I take the safety of all the animals under my care very seriously. Through my work at the kennels I have completed training in both keeping the dogs physically safe as well as recognising signs that a dog may be unwell e.g upset stomach, changes in behaviour. I am happy to keep dogs on the lead/long line as well as letting them off if they have a reliable recall and it is safe to do so. I will always follow your instructions and keep you updated!!
About: Both me and my partner Kyle love animals of all shapes and sizes, and have had dogs and cats for most of our lives (but do not currently just as we do go away at weekends occasionally!). We both work from home flexibly full time so can give your dog as much attention as they need, and are also available for last minute bookings! Both me and my partner are remote workers on a flexible schedule, so are able to give your pet the time and attention they need. We can also be available for fairly last minute bookings due to this. We have a small fenced garden safe for time outside, and will check for any other tweaks we need to make to our home to ensure your pet is comfortable, or for anything I need to be aware of if visiting your pet in your home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and now that I’ve had to leave my 4 legged friends at home to come to uni I’m wanting to fill the k9 sized hole in my life and have a great time with your pets! I live a 5 minute walk away from both the Botanical Gardens and Endcliffe park so walks definitely won’t get boring. I’ll be available to spend all day with your doggos as my university semester has come to an end and I am at home full time. I’ll be in Sheffield all of the time so checking in with your pets will be no hassle at all. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you for taking a look x
About: I grew up with a Yorkshire Terrier, and Ryan a Collie. Though we don’t currently have a dog of our own, we regularly look after Ryan’s family dog, who is a labradoodle. We have house sitting experience of looking after the same pet families (including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish) on different occasions, as well as pets of friends (a German Shepherd and a Patterdale Spaniel). We also lived on a farm for a year, where we were surrounded by horses and dogs. We both work full-time, but my work schedule is hybrid and flexible, so we can be available all throughout the week, for both short and longer term pet care. We have external access to our own property, with a courtyard space immediately outside, a green space just outside that, and a larger park a short walk away.
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.
“Gareth takes Dillon out all the time when Dillon sees him Gareth he gets really excited thank you Gareth and we will be back in touch soon much appreciated and I would highly recommend Gareth very nice and friendly 👍👍👍👍”
About: Your pets will be spoiled rotten with me! I've cared for dogs and cats for years, including many rescues with special needs I'm very observant and detail oriented, if I notice anything unusual like a limp or change in appetite, you'll hear from me straight away. Expect plenty of photo updates while you're away because I can't help myself! Prefer daytime drop-offs for boarding it helps dogs settle in more easily and reduces first night anxiety. I was working part-time and recently took a break, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of time for pet care. Most weekdays I'm free, and I can also cover weekends when needed. I'm usually home and love spending quality time with the pets I'm sitting, I live in a flat with access to a safe shared garden. I love taking dogs out for walks in the park and longer hikes when the weather's nice. Your pet will be well looked after and comfortable with me.
About: Currently, my profile link offers pet owners a £15 off their first booking with Rover. First reserved, first get. I have taken care of cats since I was 15. Neighbours and friends love to drop their cats to when they’re away. I am genuine friends with cats. I am good at using reward mechanisms to play with dogs and interact with cats. I’m currently looking for jobs, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of cats and dogs. I am free all day from 8am to 8pm, either work day or weekend. I can feed them twice per and going for park walks. At my parent’s home, I feed them not only processed factory food but also with fresh fruits vega and cooked meat to keep them healthy and happy. They love my massages when I tidy up their hairs.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Sheffield is £12

I can’t recommend Leyton highly enough. Sid stayed with him for doggy daycare during the weekdays while we were away on holiday, with my partner dropping him off on his way to work and collecting him at the end of the day. Sid is a Staffy and a strong dog, so one of the things that was important to me when choosing someone was finding a sitter who was confident and comfortable looking after and walking a bigger, stronger dog. I had absolutely no worries with Leyton. Sid clearly loved his time there. He had walks, plenty of playtime and always came home happy and completely worn out, which is definitely a good sign! Leyton also fed him his morning and evening meals and gave him his medication, which made things so much easier for us. I really appreciated getting a lovely update at the end of each day telling me what Sid had been up to and how he’d got on. It was very reassuring being away and knowing he was happy and being properly looked after. Sid was unfortunately attacked by another dog while out with my partner over the weekend. When he went back to Leyton on the Monday, Leyton took such good care of him and kept a close eye on him, which I really appreciated. It was also obvious that Leyton genuinely enjoyed having Sid there, rather than it simply feeling like a dog-sitting service. Sid clearly felt comfortable and happy with him too. We’ll definitely be using Leyton again, not just for holidays but for the odd day when we’re going to be out for a long time and don’t want Sid home alone all day. Highly recommended. Thank you, Leyton, for taking such good care of our boy! 🐾
Absolutely perfect with our little terror. We booked last minute and she got back to us really quickly and had no issues with any requests. Was happy to come into our home and walk our dog. Cannot thank her enough as she has been a life saver. Could not recommend enough!
Ellen walked my boy Ralph to see how he managed before having a long boarding stay. He’s very nervous of other people and reactive towards dogs. Ellen understood his needs and her calm nature helped him relax and enjoy their time together, he returned home happy and exhausted from his run around, and I was reassured that Ellen was confident in managing his behaviour and that their boarding stay together will be great🥰
It was so helpful for Amber to visit Rosie at home during the very hot weather. It was too hot for a walk but having Amber to check on Rosie that she was keeping in the shade, got ample water and a friendly face for company was really important to an elderly dog at home for a time in the sweltering heat.
Ellen was amazing with my dog. She really cared about understanding Nesta’s needs and interests and respected all my advice. She gave a comprehensive update on the walk with all the information a somewhat protective dog owner could want. Ellen was also diligent with ensuring the security of my home and I would highly recommend her services.
My minature cockapoo dog, Maple, warmed to Hannah immediately and she is usaually very timid with new people. Hannah presented as very kind and good at putting my dog at ease sending details of the walk and photos! Hannah is an extremely competent and engaging dog walker so would highly recommend her services.
Ryan and his vizsla, Daphne, arrived right on time to collect Dig and take him out for his scheduled walk. He is very friendly and capable, and very patient. Dig came back happy and tired after a big walk and some playtime with Daphne. Ryan told me they did some light scent-work, which dig absolutely loves. I felt really comfortable knowing that he is familiar with vizslas and their quirks. Will be booking regular walks going forward, highly recommend for people with high energy gun dogs.
Our dogs loved Laura! Right from the moment she came to do a meet and greet at our house. Her communication is brilliant, and both dogs looked like they had the best time on their walk. We will definitely be using Laura again. Thank you for walking them and giving us peace of mind while we were on holiday!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sheffield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sheffield.
