“Ellen was absolutely fantastic looking after my elderly dog for four nights while I was away. Because he has a few additional needs, I was naturally a little anxious about leaving him with someone new, but Ellen completely put my mind at ease. She followed all of my instructions carefully, provided regular updates on how he was doing, and it was clear he was being very well cared for. I loved hearing about what they were up to, and she took him on some lovely walks too. Knowing he was safe, happy, and in such capable hands made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ellen’s services again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”

“Nikeisha took great care of Lola and Maki while we were away. She sent us daily updates, and it was clear from the photos and messages that they were having a great time. She also left the house very tidy. We would be more than happy to have Nikeisha look after Lola and Maki again in the future!”

“It was amazing to go on holiday and know we were leaving our reactive dog in safe hands at home in the place she feels most comfortable. Shannon gave brilliant and reassuring daily updates, and looked after Poppy so well. Highly recommend!”

“Sophie was great, did what she said she would, and sent us lots of photos and videos of our cat playing and eating and drinking to set our mind at rest. He seems his normal self now we are home again which is a massive relief for a cat with abandonment anxiety, we were worried he would be anxious - thank you Sophie!”

“Grave arrived with plenty of time for me to explain how to look after Nelly. She sent us updates throughout the day and we came home to a happy dog who had been well looked after. Would definitely book again.”

“Jess was fantastic with Pip, he warmed to her right away and it was clear to see he had a good time with her, as he was really relaxed when we got home. She arrived on time and is a good communicator also, which makes things a lot easier :-) we've already booked her next sit!”

About: My wife often jokes that I've never met an animal I didn't immediately try to befriend. Cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, reptiles... if they have four legs (or sometimes fewer!), I'm usually introducing myself within minutes. Animals have been a constant throughout my life. I've cared for cats ranging from tiny kittens to much-loved senior cats, including some with medical conditions requiring medication, patience and extra attention. I've also raised my own dog from puppyhood through to old age, which taught me a great deal about the different needs pets have as they move through life. Alongside cats and dogs, I've cared for chickens, and during my years working in schools I've looked after rabbits, reptiles, tropical fish, frogs and even the occasional snail. I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, species and routines, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each animal unique. What probably sets me apart most is that I combine a genuine love of animals with a strong sense of responsibility. For over twenty years I've worked as a site manager in primary and PRU schools, a role built on trust, attention to detail and caring for things that matter to other people. Looking after homes, managing schedules, keeping things safe and solving problems calmly has been part of my daily life for decades. My wife and I live in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District, where we spend our free time exploring, making music together, and being thoroughly outnumbered by our cats when it comes to sofa space. Friends would describe me as calm, dependable and easy-going. When caring for pets, I understand that routines matter. Whether that's medication schedules, favourite walking routes, playtime, lap time, or simply sharing a quiet room with someone who enjoys their company, I'll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pets feel secure, comfortable and loved while you're away. I know that when people leave their pets with someone, they're not just handing over a lead, food bowl or set of keys — they're placing their trust in another person. I never lose sight of that. I'm currently writing full time, so my days are entirely flexible - plenty of time to spent caring for your cats! I can be available week days and weekends. I will care for your cats in the way they need, and you define, respectfully and carefully, within your own home. I'm aware that each cat has their own requirements and character, and that is how I approach caring - whatever they need, personally.

About: I have looked after several friends and neighbours cats and rabbits, and loved meeting animals of all age and breed. I also have always loved both dogs and cats, and would love to look after yours. I am a university student, so other than a few classes a week, I have a very flexible schedule as most of my work is independent study. I will care for your pets with genuine love and attention no matter the breed. I will maintain responsibility at all times, as well as ensuring your house is kept in a perfect state of cleanliness.

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.
“Thank you Tasha and Huw! We got in touch at really short notice for doggie daycare to look after our two spaniels and they were brilliant, we got loads of photos and really detailed messages of how the visit was going :) Our dogs are knackered now, thanks again for looking after them today!”

“Hattie was super lovely with Nelly our 6 month puppy. She has such calm manner and kept us updated with anything necessary. Really helpful having her sit whilst we were at Birthday celebration couldn't recommend more!”

“The lovely Jessica! What a relaxing weekend I have had knowing Boris was in safe hands. Constant updates and pictures. Boris was more than happy with Jessica. They had alloys of cuddles. Jessica also left my flat very clean and I felt comfortable having Jessica in my home. I would highly recommend. 5 Stars! 🌟”

About: I’ve been so lucky to always have beautiful dogs and cats in my life and I’ve always cared deeply for all animals! I will genuinely be so pleased to spend time with your pets and will give them all the love and attention they deserve. The worst part of going on holiday is leaving your fluffy friends so make sure you can relax in peace knowing that they’re being taken care of with lots of heart. I can send as many or as few updates as you like and can help ease any holiday worries about your pet. 😻🥰🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I am a primary school teacher who is completely work free until September so I have bags of time to spend taking care of your pet whilst you’re enjoying your summer fun! Safely looking after animals is super important and I am always extremely careful and cautious when taking care of my pets and I am no different with other animals. A safe pet is the happiest pet! This including making sure indoor animals stay indoors where they belong, making sure to check they have food and fresh water available at all times and doubling checking before leaving your property. As a school teacher, it’s important that I am trustworthy and I’m trusted everyday with young children.
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.
“This was the 1st time I've ever used a sitter and I would definitely recommend Ada. From the minute she 1st replied she made everything so easy. My animals took to her straight away and she was great at keeping me updated and sent some really great pictures as well. Definitely 10/10 x”

“Absolutely fabulous sitter - punctual, polite and most importantly bonded quickly with Winnie. Winnie has separation anxiety but Nam Joo took this in her stride, was completely laid back about the whole thing and got Winnie to quickly calm down and come over for a cuddle. We will definitely be booking Nam Joo for all future sitting for both our dog and cat. Thanks so much for a completely stress-free experience! 💗”

“Priscila took very good care of our beloved pooch whilst we were away. Willow is a large dog who does not get on with all dogs. There were no issues whilst she looked after her and we were provided with regular updates and photos. The house was spotless when we returned and Willow seemed very well looked after. Priscila's communication was great, feeding and medication instructions were followed and she was very quick to reply to communications. I would recommend her strongly to any dog owner!”

If you are considering booking Ellen to look after your little boy or girl, you 100% should. From arrival to departure Ellen was so respectful, informative and reliant. She took such great care of our house and our 2 year old border. Regular updates including photos you and could tell he'd had such a great time with her. Will absolutely be booking Ellen again in the future!

Our lab Lillth loved her time with Priscila, we received lots of lovely updates of their day, Priscila took Lilith on walks, played, and then Lillth had a well deserved nap. Priscila is very friendly, respectful of our house, and Lillth looks forward to seeing her again 😁

Sophie was great, did what she said she would, and sent us lots of photos and videos of our cat playing and eating and drinking to set our mind at rest. He seems his normal self now we are home again which is a massive relief for a cat with abandonment anxiety, we were worried he would be anxious - thank you Sophie!

The lovely Jessica! What a relaxing weekend I have had knowing Boris was in safe hands. Constant updates and pictures. Boris was more than happy with Jessica. They had alloys of cuddles. Jessica also left my flat very clean and I felt comfortable having Jessica in my home. I would highly recommend. 5 Stars! 🌟

Ada has been brilliant- she came to meet my Frenchie Ralph the day before and I had total confidence in her then. She let me know when she arrived and left. Sent pics of Ralph and was very communicative. Would definitely use her again. Thanks Ada! Highly recommended

Alex looked after our two dogs for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. We left home feeling completely confident that they were in safe and capable hands. Alex is enthusiastic, trustworthy, and immediately puts you at ease. He kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care.

Rhianna was amazing! She was so accommodating to my Mabel's routine and regularly sent updates so we could see how she was doing. And from the pictures and videos, it looked like Mabel had a great time! Would definitely love to have Rhianna look after Mabel again should we need to.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Sheffield walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sheffield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
