“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.”
“Laura was a wonderful sitter: the dogs took to her immediately and she immediately established a lovely, natural and completely relaxed relationship with them. We left feeling fully confident that the dogs were in very safe hands, despite the heatwave, and she kept us informed about them, sending lovely pictures and updates. Very happy to recommend Laura without reservation and hope to use her services again.”
“I would highly recommend Amy as a house sitter. She was fantastic for a week with our adolescent GSD mix (looks like a labradoodle!) she was great keeping us updated, kept him well walked and played with, even in extreme heat, and treated our home with respect, it was left impeccably! Amy met with our dog before the sitting and kept us updated throughout the week. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using Amy again. Thanks so much Amy.”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter!! First time going away without taking Teddy with us so we were so happy to leave him in good company with Ellen!! Such an amazing job! The daily pup-dates were soo lovely and informative! 🥰🐾🐶 definitely rebooking!! Xoxo”
“I can’t recommend Nikeisha enough, communication was excellent and everything went so well despite my last minute request. My dog is very anxious around new people to say the least, but she is a complete natural and Luna loves her. This is the longest I’ve been away from her, but I felt no worries at all. Don’t hesitate to book with Nikeisha!!! Thank you so much xxx”
“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”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up in a family that absolutely loved pets, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats, dogs, parrots, rabbits, iguanas and even wildlife while volunteering. Because Romania has a serious stray-animal problem, I spent many years rescuing, fostering and rehabilitating stray cats and dogs, often working alongside veterinarians to help them recover and find loving homes. I’ve cared for animals ranging from newborns to elderly pets, including animals that were traumatized, seriously ill or needed extra patience and intensive care. I always had my own pets too, bith dogs and cats. I’ve also looked after many friends’ and family members’ pets, including walking and caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I always dreamed of becoming a vet, and although life took me in a different direction, animals have remained a huge part of my life. I’m patient, attentive and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’m a tattoo artist with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the week, so I can give pets plenty of time, attention and care. For suitable dogs, I can also offer evening adventures in the Peak District if the owner is happy with this. I can host small and medium-sized dogs in my flat, provided they’re comfortable in a flat environment and don’t bark excessively. My priority is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed and happy. I live in a quiet, green area with two large parks nearby, perfect for walks and exploring. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep pets safe, supervised and comfortable while maintaining their usual routines. I’m experienced with animals of all ages and needs, including rescue animals and very young kittens requiring bottle-feeding, so I’m attentive to changes in behaviour and know when a pet may need extra care.
“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.”
About: I’ve had animals since growing up including cats dogs, horses and rabbits, working with horses for about 10 years after my college course in equine care. I currently have 2 cats and I am a big fan of recuse animals especially cats who need a second chance at a loving home. I have looked after family and friend’s cats and dogs when they have been away and I always follow their care instructions very well. I’m currently not working, having finished working in a cafe after 9 years, this means I am very flexible around your cat sitting needs. I am an early bird so mornings are not a problem for me- I like being up and about early. I walk happily and can drive so transport is not a problem for me. I follow all instructions left for pets very carefully and always look out for any changes in behavior and would always ask questions beforehand if I was unsure. I will keep to your pet’s daily routine to help them feel safe and comfortable I am not in a position to have animals come to my house as my two cats would not be very happy about this!
“Very happy with Gareth. He seems to have managed our two big dogs well during a week’s dog and house sitting, he sent regular updates and photos. His communication was always prompt and he inspired confidence on the meet and greet before the booking. House was left near and tidy. Would use again without hesitation.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover based in Sheffield with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to larger dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped train them to be crate trained, potty trained, and even learn fun tricks. I love getting outdoors for long walks and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they need. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to suit their personality and routine. I live in a quiet, calm home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I also have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐾 Pet care fits really well into my routine. I attend university roughly twice a week during term time and I climb around three times a week, but outside of that I have a very flexible schedule as I’m not currently working. This gives me lots of time and availability to dedicate to looking after pets, whether that’s walks, daycare, or boarding. I have a calm, pet-friendly home with no children, no other pets, and I do not smoke. I have an unfenced garden that is backed by houses away from roads, and dogs will always be supervised and taken out on a lead for regular toilet breaks. I can also offer frequent walks, with several nearby parks providing plenty of safe exercise and variety. Your dog will always be cared for in a safe, relaxed environment with their comfort and routine prioritised.
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 reliable, responsible and happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently studying and working part-time, but both are flexible, so I have plenty of availability for pet care. I can usually be flexible with the days and times I’m available and am happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m also able to arrange bookings in advance and make sure I have enough time to give each pet plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to care for pets both on walks and in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep to their usual routine, whether that means going for a walk, letting them into the garden, feeding them or simply giving them some company. 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.
About: I have owned and cared for my Poodle since 2018. Although my dog is currently back home, my love for dogs has never changed. I miss spending time with dogs, so I decided to become a pet sitter. I care for only one dog at a time. This allows me to give each dog my full attention, care, and affection. I know every dog has its own routine and personality. I will follow your dog’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. I can administer oral medication if needed. Walks will be tailored to your dog’s age, health, and energy level. I do not have any other pets at home. Your dog will enjoy a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I will send regular photo and video updates throughout every stay. My goal is to help your dog feel happy, relaxed, and loved until you return. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog will have regular toilet breaks (4-6hours/ except night time), regular walks (more than 2 times, more than 30mins per walk), exercise, playtime, and companionship, and will never left alone. I care for only one dog at a time, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. I do not have any other pets at home. I will follow your dog’s usual routine, administer oral medication if needed, and send regular photo and video updates.
“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! 🐾”
“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!”
“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!”
“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. ”
About: Hi there I'm Olivia 😁 I can't help but love animals, they've always been my passion and I believe they deserve our care, love and protection which is what I aim to provide when they're with me. With a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and Pet First Aid you can rest assured your pets will be in safe hands. With experience (both owning and working with) young and old pets alike. Accommodating for behaviour, dietary requirements, exercise , litter tray maintenance, grooming, administering medications and overnight stays. Also special consideration given to those who don't do well with separation and may need a little more time and attention. I currently work during the week Monday-Friday until 15:00pm so am unable to offer sittings, drop ins or walks before this time. I'm currently working in hospitality and have a regular up to to date rota. I can book in with clients during the week (late afternoon & evenings) and weekends, schedule visits as and when needed. I have a fenced yard and plenty of open space. I'm very patient and can give shyer animals time and space if needed and am happy to play with younger and indoor animals to keep them stimulated. I can offer plenty of attention and cuddles, along with feeding, grooming, administering medications, overnight stays and anything in the house that may need tending to whilst you're away. I can also provide extra care services for any additional pets such as fish/hamsters/rats/etc.
About: Over the past 7 years I have developed a passion for loving dogs! I have rescued and fostered challenging breeds who just deserved a second chance. I believe having a dog shouldn’t be expensive so I charge a small fee for my services as I signed up more for my love of animals! I am a very active person who plays football. I love the outdoors and going on walks as much as dogs do, hence this is more of a hobbie for me than a job! I hope I can help out with your dogs needs and provide a safe and happy environment while you are away or needing help. I am flexible and open to changes schedule. I play football professionally for Spokane zephyr, so your dog would need to be ok with being alone in the apartment for a maximum of 5 hours. But most days it would only be 3 hours alone. I understand the basic training needs for a dog such as crate training and overall discipline. I love taking dogs on long walks and giving them the attention they want.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sheffield is £30

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
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!
Ellen took great care of my senior cat whilst I was away working for a few days. Ellen is a genuine and kind, thoughtful animal lover and I know if I’m away, my dear cat is in the best of hands. Ellen sends me daily messages about his behaviour and appetite to ease my mind. Ellen is also a conscientious house guest I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellen to pet owners who need someone to trust with their loved pets. Thank you Ellen ☺️
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
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
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.
Jess accepted my house sitting request with short notice, allowing me to travel and leave my furry baby for the first time. Jess was took good care of my Mable, sending me daily updates and reassuring me that she is well taken care of. Jess also took good care of my place and is very trustworthy. I’ll definitely book him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sheffield on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
