“Grace took excellent care of our cats and our home while we were away, and also sent a bunch of very cute videos and photos so we knew our fluff balls were safe and happy. If you have Grace overnight, she is tidy and respectful of belongings and space. Highly recommend her for your cat sitting needs. ”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She stayed at our home for three nights, took our dog on lovely walks, and left everything clean and tidy. We would happily recommend her.”
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.
“Nikeisha is great - calm, thorough, and seemingly unfazed by our animals’ complex needs. Nikeisha provided the perfect amount of updates and we felt very reassured that Zola and Tig were in safe hands. We’ve already rebooked Nikeisha and are sure our animals will look forward to seeing her again!”
“Yu Xuan was a wonderful sitter for my cat, Gizmo! I'd give her more than 5 stars if I could. She helped us right at the last minute which was really helpful. Her communication was great, lots of updates and pictures which was reassuring. We have a persian cat and she cleaned his eyes really well. We came home to a tidy house and a very happy cat. Thanks again we would love you to look after gizzy in future xx”
“Natasha did a great job looking after Nelly. She arrived on time and communicated clearly throughout. Natasha looked after Nelly as we discussed and took her on 2 lovely walks with other dogs which is Nelly’s favourite thing so I came home to a very happy dog.”
“Maddison did a great job in looking after our Cavapoo, Teddy, when we went away for 5 days. We came back from our trip to find him happy and relaxed. Maddison had continued his routine well, feeding & settling him, plus taking him for regular walks. Communications were great with Maddison and she looked after everything well in our home. I would have no hesitation in booking Maddison again to look after Teddy.”
“Amy took amazing care of my two young cats. My boys are everything to me and she sent regular updates of them having cuddles with her and also managed it like a pro when one of them brought in a frog! She also left the house immaculate. I would 100% trust her to cat sit again and highly recommend her!”
“Joy has both house sat and walked my dogs.,, one of which is quite nervous, a few rimes now. She is very reliable, and both my dogs,and I trust her completely. It's great to be able to leave my dogs overnight or when at work with no stress.”
“Amy was great with our black lab! He was clearly very comfortable and at ease with her and had a lovely time while she house sat overnight for us. Amy kept us up to date with his walks and how he had been. I would highly recommend Amy.”
About: I was very lucky to grow up in a family that supported my love of animals, and I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was six years old. Over the years, I’ve lived with dogs of different sizes and personalities. The dog who was with me the longest was an Alaskan Malamute, so I’m very comfortable and confident around large dogs. I’m a cat person too! I’ve had an Exotic Shorthair and an American Curl, both with very different personalities. My cats and dog currently live with my family in my hometown, so there are no resident pets in my home here. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so dog walking is genuinely something I enjoy. I’d be more than happy to take your dog out to enjoy the grass, sunshine, fresh air — and, if they’re that kind of dog, probably a bit of mud too! I’m currently a student and study full-time from home, which means my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to give your pets proper attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can usually accommodate morning, afternoon or evening visits, including weekends. I’m happy to work around your cat’s usual feeding and care routine rather than changing their schedule. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine and your instructions closely. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, keep food and water fresh, clean litter trays, and leave everything tidy. I’ll give your cat as much attention or space as they prefer, and send you photo updates so you know they’re happy and safe while you’re away.
About: I may be new to professional dog sitting, but caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had my own dog since I was little, so I understand how much love, attention, and care they need. I’ve also looked after a family friend’s dog and regularly check in on other people’s dogs, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have also had a part time job at a dog walking company for a family friend where i have built my skills with understanding a dogs needs. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. i am currently a student, but i am only in three days a week where the most is 3 hours so i am available all the time. so i can bring your dog the best care they need. When looking after a pet in their own home, I’d make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. I’d stick to their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and lots of attention. I’d also make sure they have everything they need, keep their space clean and give them plenty of company so they don’t feel lonely while their owner is away.
“Grace is a fantastic dog sitter and we'd definitely have her again in the future! She made a long travel day away for us a lot less stressful and was brilliant with our dog Noodle who was wagging her tail and in great spirits when we returned home. Noodle normally suffers from separation anxiety whenever we leave the house, but Grace was very understanding and worked her magic calming her down quickly. She even took her for a walk to the woods which we didn't expect and was really appreciated! Would definitely recommend, thanks so much xx”
“Sasha has looked after our Beagle, Freddie, a number of times and she is absolutely wonderful! Freddie just loves her! Sasha is a very kind, approachable person and she has been flexible and accommodating to our schedules etc. Highly recommended by dogs and humans! 🐾”
“Sadie looked after our dog Otter for a few days in our house. We were very happy. She looked after our dog really well and left everything in the house very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her.”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Olivia looked after Lola and Maki for two weeks while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier, and it was clear both of them were happy. The house was left spotless too. We'll definitely be booking Olivia again and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age. I am owner of a samoyed for 13 years! We play together and we are more than family! I really admire how pets love their owners! The least i could do is take daily care of them and feel their love in my life! I am taking care of pets to feel comfortable in every single way! The most common way is to love them and respect them .

Criss is INCREDIBLE! She is so so attentive and caring with our puppy Otis. She has a great deal of knowledge when it comes to animal behaviour and is even helping train our mischevious little boy! We feel so confident with leaving Criss with Otis in our flat. We are very lucky to have her look after him.
We came home to two happy cats and a clean house. We had lots of communication and photos, and Michelle went the extra mile with two fussy cats. As it was the first time we had had Michelle look after the cats she came for an initial visit. She was easy to talk to and put our minds at ease; the one cat who showed took to her straight away. We were very happy having Michelle look our cats and wouldn't hesitate to invite her into our lives again.
Clover was so amazing taking care of Hobbes, she sent so many pictures and videos and updates it helped so much with making me feel comfortable to leave him. She was able to adapt to a super last minute change in putting cream on him and he was so happy. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Poppy came to keep my staffie (Joan) company while I was away. She did a fantastic job, was really good at communicating and was flexible around a couple of mistakes I made with the booking initially. Joan clearly enjoyed spending time with her and I’ll definitely be booking her again
I'd have had no idea Maddison was relatively new to sitting had she not told me. Her communication was excellent, her use of the platform adept, her manner with Dexter (my dog), my cats, and I fantastic. She also took excellent care of the house, and managed to repair a cat flap I believed needed replacing! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. Pretty sure Dexter would too - he was super calm and happy when I got home.
Amy took amazing care of my two young cats. My boys are everything to me and she sent regular updates of them having cuddles with her and also managed it like a pro when one of them brought in a frog! She also left the house immaculate. I would 100% trust her to cat sit again and highly recommend her!
Priscila was great with my elderly dog Zelda. I left really specific instructions and not only did she not accuse me of being over the top but she followed them perfectly. Zelda seemed to have a great day from all the pics I received. Would definitely book with her again.
Zane was marvellous with my Cooper! She went over and above, my dog had the best weekend of his life going on walk/runs and muddy woodland walks. Nothing was ever a problem. Zane even did a long walk before she left and I had lots of pictures/videos having the best life 😊 She took care of my doggy better than anyone ever could. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you so much Zane. Ps when you next available 😂 seriously asking. Many thanks
Berenice is a joy to have as our cat sitter. Really reliable and quick to reply to messages. It was no bother at all to arrange the booking. She really fussed our cats and gave us regular updates while we were away. It is clear that she's a cat lover and she really got to know both our cats. I would highly recommend Berenice.
Rosie was so wonderful with our two boys! Gouda our 10 week old kitten and Manchego our 7 month old kitten absolutely loved playing with Rosie! She took plenty of photos and videos playing and cuddling the cats at every visit, with an update as to how they are! It put me and my partner at ease whilst we were away and relieved any anxiety that may of been present. I would 1000% book Rosie again
Sacha was a life saver stepping in last minute for me when my boarding kennels let me down. Her communication was impeccable and made me feel I could trust her with my Doodles and home imminently. Her superpower is certainly her calming effect with the dogs! She worked around her job to accommodate me and ensured she could be with me doodles as much as possible as they were not use to being on their own. They got taken out for special occasions to meet friends and seemed to have a great time looking at all the pictures Sacha kindly sent me. I would highly recommend Sacha as she gave my 2 large dogs so much love affection while I was away.

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.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Sheffield, the price of house sitting can vary between £26 and £52 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Sheffield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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.
