“Thanks so much for all your help! We had to book Alex last minute and his speedy responses made the whole process so easy and filled us with confidence Penny had someone to check in on her. Alex shared plenty of photos of their walk and penny looks like she had such a lovely time! The excitement in all the pictures - I can tell she thoroughly enjoyed herself and had a good run around! Thank you again :)”

About: My story: I started my journey caring for dogs when I was 10 years old, where I was lucky enough to share a 13-year-long friendship full of fun with my best mate Patch (a Jack Russel Terrier). Experience & Skills: Throughout the years, I cared for Patch from morning to sundown, taking him out on walks, keeping him entertained during my studying, feeding and watering him according to his dietary needs, and ensuring he was in a loving, caring environment. Having spent most of my life around a broad variety of dogs, I am confident, happy and physically strong enough to provide the necessary walking, feeding and playing your dog requires. From a pup to an old gent, Patch gifted me the knowledge of how to look after a young, energetic dog; how to respond to the dog's body language; caring for a dog in case of accident or injury; but most importantly, providing a dog with a fun, loving and safe environment. On Rover: Since leaving a stress-heavy work environment for an office filled with fresh air and green spaces, I am looking to fill my time caring for your pooch in your busy hours. If they need taking on the best walks, feeding and watering, or even some fun-filled company then I am happy to be of service. If I sound like the right person for your pooch, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Hope to hear from you soon :) (I possess dog walking insurance to fully protect your dog and your property - feel free to ask about my coverage) I am currently available from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Monday to Friday, however Saturday slots can be discussed if I am available at the time. I currently provide pet sitting in a pet owner's home, as well as dog walking. If specific instructions are provided on when your dog should be fed (as well as their dietary needs), how often they need to be walked, when medicine should be administered (if applicable), and where the required items are kept in your home, then I shall follow this to the letter. Please feel free to ask me about my insurance coverage or any further quality assurance checks you may require.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised my own dog for over 10 years - they’ve taught me about patience, loyalty, and how to listen without words. Volunteering at cat cafe’ gave me the chance to care for cats with all kinds of personality, from shy to sassy, and I loved every minute of it. I also spend a lot of curiosity, but because I truly enjoy learning how to make animals feel understood, safe, and loved. Caring for pets is naturally part of my day. Every morning starts with feeding, walks, or just quiet time with my dogs - it’s the best way to begin the day. Throughout the week, I make time for play, training, and grooming, making sure they feel active and loved. Watching pet care videos or reading up on new tips has also become a relaxing part of my evenings. Whether it’s my own pets or others I’m helping care for, I treat it as a meaningful, joyful part of my routine - not a task, but a connection. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is making them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether it’s feeding routines, medications, or special habits their pet is used to. When I walk dogs, their safety and happiness come first. I use secure leashes, stay alert to the surroundings, and walk at a pace that suits the dog’s energy level. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I make sure they feel calm, cared for, and get the attention they deserve.
About: I have about 3 years of catsitting experience and adopted my own cat in June 2023 from The Sheffield Cat Shelter. I'm experienced with administering medication, changing food/water and cleaning litter tray. I'm also more than happy to spend as much or as little time with your cat as they'd like; I'm great at reading behaviour so I can gauge this accordingly with each visit. I'm a PhD student that is looking to petsit as a way of filling some time during the summer months. Whilst everyone is booking holidays, I'll be in Sheffield doing my research, so what better way to spend it than looking after your lovely pets! I'll be free relatively around five times a week for visits. Please see my calendar for more info! I can make sure your home is safe and secure by placing your post out of sight, opening curtains/turning lights on when I'm there, and I do not advertise that I am a petsitter visiting an empty home. As well as this, I can water plants, take your bin out, or do any other small household duties whilst you're away!
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: I’ve been a dog and cat owner for many years, which has taught me patience and attention to detail. As a PhD student in biology, I bring both a passion for animals and a deep understanding of their needs, ensuring thoughtful and loving care. I am currently in the thesis stage of my PhD, so I am available to provide pet care services during the daytime throughout the week. I currently live in a house with a spacious yard, where I can offer your pets a safe and comfortable environment to play and relax. The outdoor space allows for plenty of exercise and fun, ensuring your pets feel at home while in my care.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home with at least one or two dogs, along with other pets, and I can’t remember a time without them. When I was 15, I adopted my own mixed-breed dog and cared for him from puppyhood until he passed away. Later, I raised a Golden Retriever from a puppy while working full-time, so I understand what real, daily care means. My friends often leave their dogs with me when they travel, so I’ve cared for many different breeds. It always makes me happy to spend time with them. I’m patient, gentle, and always try to understand each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your dogs and give them the same care and affection I give to my own! 🐾 I’ve recently graduated, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m currently available full-time and every day of the week, and I can easily adjust to your needs. I have plenty of time to walk, play, and give your dogs all the love and attention they deserve. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors with dogs, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions about feeding, walking, and routines. I keep a calm and clean environment and pay close attention to each dog’s behaviour. If I’m at your home, I’ll treat it with full respect and care just like my own.
“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 :)”

“Joe is a great choice for your dog walk! He's been helping us out with Paco's walks, our 4 year old dog, and Paco loves Joe! Joe is friendly and professional. He ensured Paco gets good exercise and good company, understanding his own personality and needs. A plus is a very data-driven approach to the job which data nerds or people obsessed with their pets may certainly enjoy!”

“Highly recommend Aspasia! I sprained my ankle and needed someone to urgently walk my very active spaniel. Aspasia was incredibly flexible and took Spencer for a huge walk, she is kind, considerate and bonded with Spencer straight away - even though he can be wary of new people. Thank you! You rock!”

“Emma has been so helpful with Marlo. Super responsive, a great communicator and confident in managing my doggo’s anxious nature. Marlo shows no hesitation in leaving with Emma, which says everything as she is quite human selective. Thanks Emma!”

“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.”
About: I grew up with two cats named Winnie and Claude alongside a black lab/akita mix named Dreyfuss. Dreyfuss was the sweetest big dog who thought he could still fit in your lap! I then had a shih tzu named Socks who was my sister and I's responsibility. I have cared for dogs of every size whilst their owners were away for sometimes weeks at a time. I recently have gained experience caring for puppies as a friend's dog had puppies and I would watch them for hours at a time (there were 7 of them!). I also have experience caring for reactive dogs due to trauma that has happened in their past that requires extra care. I am happy going on short or long walks depending on need. I have experience caring for older dogs as well and giving medicine if required. Please message if you have any questions for me. I hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working Sunday mornings, Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday. I have Wednesdays and Saturdays off. My schedule is pretty flexible with the ability to occasionally work from home. I work in the centre of sheffield so it would be easy to pop over for breaks/walks if needed. The way I care for animals is in a calm way. When owners are away it can sometimes be stressful for them and my job is to stick to their routines as best as I can to make it as fun for them as it is for me. I will always ensure your pet's safety and make sure they have a great time while you're away.

Thanks so much Amber! I can see that Rosie had a great time. You are very generous with your time as you were out even longer than planned (in the pouring rain too)!!! Rosie had a good long walk and will settle down happily now for the rest of the afternoon. Thank you so much. Fully recommend Amber to take your fury friend for a walk.

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!

Rosie had a lovely walk with Beth. Rosie likes to stop and start and sniff all the interesting smells around. Beth is very patient and caring, allowing 10 year old Rosie to walk at her own pace. At the end of the walk I got sent a map of where they had went with photos! Great! Thanks Beth, we will definitely have you again soon.

Olu was fantastic walking my dog Ronnie at short notice. He took time out to come and meet him beforehand. Clearly Olu is very confident with dogs. Throughout the whole process he communicated well, arrived on time and gave me feedback on Ronnie’s walk. The dog couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend Olu and defiantly rebook in the future
