“Every time we go away we ask Alex to look after our cat, and he absolutely loves Alex, he barely even notices we were gone! Can’t recommend Alex enough, the thought that he takes such a good care of our cat, makes our weekends away a million times more enjoyable, knowing we don’t have to worry about anything Thank you Alex!”
“Rhian was great with both my cats and really understood their personalities and how to approach them. I got daily updates on how they were doing and what was done. I was so happy to come home (after two weeks) to two well cared for cats. Thank you so much from me, Nala, and Appa xx.”
About: I provide a calm, clean, and stress-free environment where cats can settle in at their own pace. With over seven years of experience caring for cats, I understand feline behaviour and know how to care for both shy and affectionate cats. I pay close attention to their eating, litter box habits, and overall wellbeing, and I’m happy to follow any special care instructions. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time working from home, which allows me to give cats plenty of attention throughout the day. I can follow their usual routine for feeding, playtime, and rest, and I’m available on both weekdays and weekends with advance notice. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is clean, quiet, and suitable for cats to relax and feel secure. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, litter box cleaning, medication if required, and any special preferences. I always make sure doors and windows are secure and never leave pets unattended for long periods. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I usually only board one household’s cat(s) at a time, so they can enjoy a calm and stress-free environment.
“Amelia was a bit hit with our Labrador puppy Nevis! She was very professional and friendly. She gave us a lovely update on the visit and Nevis clearly enjoyed himself! Thank you ☺️”
About: My rate is a bit lower right now since I'm new to the platform and want to start by earning your trust and building a strong track record of reviews. That said, please know I'll treat your pet with just as much love and care as I would my own :)) I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and it shows in how I care for them. The pug in my profile picture is a pet of my dearest friend, whom I've helped manage through an overweight condition: taking him to vet visits, planning his diet, and cooking him healthy homemade meals from scratch. I make a habit of feeding strays I pass on my way home. A few years ago, I also took in a stray dog who'd been abandoned, nursed him back to health, and helped find him a loving forever family, so I know what it takes to earn a nervous animal's trust. Whether it's a senior dog with special dietary needs or one who just needs a gentle hand, I bring patience, real experience, and genuine care to every furry friend I look after. I'm currently a Master's graduate looking for my next role, so I'm home most days and have a flexible schedule to offer. That means I can be fully present for walks, feedings, and playtime whenever your pet needs it. I'm happy to accommodate early mornings, late nights, or last minute requests, and I treat every stay like it's my own pet's routine: consistent, attentive, and never rushed. Your pet's safety and comfort come first. My home is a secure, calm environment , windows and doors stay closed, and anything harmful like cleaning supplies, medications, or toxic foods is kept well out of reach. Walks are always on-leash, and I stick to a consistent schedule for feeding and walks so your pet feels settled into a routine, not just passing through. I keep your vet's contact info and any care or medication instructions on hand at all times, and I'm prepared for basic first aid if anything comes up. Throughout the stay, I send photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pet is doing, even when you're away.
“Nichola was great with Barbie. She took her out for a walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable throughout. Barbie seemed relaxed and happy in her care. I also really appreciated the regular updates as they gave me peace of mind. I would happily book again”
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!
“Ada did amazing with our 7 month old border collie/lab, Duke! We are always nervous leaving our pup but Ada did great to communicate with us by sending updates with amazing pictures! We would for sure have Ada back to look after Duke in the future. Thanks again Ada!”
About: I’m available for boarding 7 days a week, so I can offer plenty of flexibility to fit around your plans. I’m happy to care for your cat throughout the week and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and company during their stay. I can follow their usual feeding and daily routine as closely as possible As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet somewhere you can trust. I have a calm, cat-friendly home where your cat can feel safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure windows and doors are secure, remove any potential hazards and give your cat plenty of space to settle in at their own pace. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and treat your cat with the same love and attention I give my own cat, Penelope.
“Laura is really incredible with our 10 week cockapoo- she was professional , friendly and stuck to timings really well! My pup was happy and settled with her and he can be inherently anxious and unsettled- Laura really dealt well with his biting ! Thank you and will book again 🩷”
“So pleased we booked with Sena! She was so friendly and patient and we loved the videos of the cuddles she was getting with our (usually very shy) cat. Thank you Sena, see you next time we go away!”
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.
“Nikeisha was fantastic looking after our pets :) I would 100% recommend Nikeisha to look after your pets for you. Communication was fantastic and gave us updates and pictures throughout our booking. We came home to two happy pets :)”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I’ve always loved getting to know their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience caring for, walking and training my own dogs as well as friends’ dogs, from puppies through to older dogs and from confident characters to more anxious or reactive ones. I hold a Level 3 qualification in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare and enjoy positive-reinforcement training, using clicker training and other reward-based techniques to teach plenty of fun tricks, as well as basic manners and boundaries, and to help dogs feel comfortable and confident in the world around them. I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter, helping with walking and enrichment for dogs who needed a little extra patience and understanding. What I particularly enjoy is working out what makes each dog tick. Some love chasing a ball, some want to sniff every blade of grass, some enjoy learning tricks and others need time and space to build confidence. I don’t believe every dog needs the same walk or the same approach. I believe a good walk should provide plenty of physical exercise, while also giving dogs opportunities to explore, sniff, play and use their brains. I like to incorporate training and enrichment naturally into our adventures, whether that’s practising recall, learning a new trick, playing a scent game or simply giving them time to investigate their surroundings. I’m insured for dog walking and take safety seriously, but I also want dogs to have a genuinely lovely time with me to come home happy, stimulated, tired and ready for a good sleep! I’m flexible during the week and can offer walks and drop-in visits at different times of day. Before we get started, I like to arrange a meet and greet so I can get to know you and your pet, learn about their routine and make sure we’re a good fit. For longer adventure walks, I’m happy to travel to a variety of local green spaces. Each outing is tailored to your dog, whether they love exploring, need plenty of exercise or prefer a gentler pace. I offer one-to-one walks or very small groups of 2–3 compatible dogs, giving each dog plenty of care, attention and time to enjoy themselves. Before heading out, I’ll take the time to learn about your dog’s personality, routines, recall and any worries or boundaries they may have. My aim is for every dog to feel safe, happy and comfortable in my care.
“Very friendly and a true cat lover. Michelle got us out of a predicament as our cattery was unable to take the cats a few weeks before our holiday. No hesitation in recommending.”
“Grace did a drop in visit for our two dogs, took them for a walk and fed them. All went well and we were able to enjoy our day trip knowing our dogs were being cared for. I would definitely use Grace again in the future.”
About: I grew up in a family that always had pets, especially dogs of all sizes, from Shih Tzu to Mastiff. In 2020, we adopted a kitten named Bagheera, and later, in 2021, we welcomed a puppy named Baloo into our family. I love spending time with them, especially taking Baloo for long walks. However, as I have recently moved to Sheffield, I find myself missing my furry companions during the week. Therefore, I am looking for companions I can care for. I am experienced in providing care for both cats and dogs, including walks and playtime. I work full-time with office hours from 9 am to 5 pm. However, I am available for a drop-in visit during lunchtime at 1:00 pm, as well as before and after my office hours. I'm also comfortable with doing sleepovers at the pet's home." I can provide all the necessary safety to your pets without compromising their play and walk times. I will make sure your dog is on the lead during walks.
About: I started by walking my own dog when I was 10, now I'm not in a position to have my own I love to meet and play with dogs and cats belonging to my family and friends. I'm friendly, caring and considerate, and quickly bond with animals. I have even become the second favourite person in the world to my sister's dog who doesn't give trust easily. I get a full on singing and dancing welcome every toner i visit! I have also built trust with an ex stray cat of my girlfriend, who has given meet kicks and likes to come for some fuss now and then. I work part time, between 8-10:30am and 2:30-4:30pm (or thereabouts) on weekdays, so i have plenty of time during the day to walk and care for your furry family. I'm also available dinner evenings and weekends too. I always leave other people's homes as I find them and maybe even a little better if there is time. I will make sure that your pet has water and anything else it reasonably needs for their health and safety before I leave.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Sheffield is £12

Kathryn was brilliant. Kathryn was always prompt to respond and kept us well updated every day. Most importantly, both our (usually very shy) cats warmed to her very quickly, which was lovely to see. We came home to two very happy cats. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kathryn!
After the initial meeting with Michelle we knew she was the right person to look after our cats whilst we were away. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and very understanding with cats. She kept in touch with us, giving us an update every few days and sometimes sending photos. We knew the cats were being well looked after so could relax and enjoy our honeymoon. Thankyou Michelle 🫶🏼😻
Jaqueline was great with providing daily updates and photos of our cats whilst we were away. We appreciate that she was prompt in letting us know of any issues and sorted them accordingly. When we returned home our kitties were just as happy as the day we left :)
I can't recommend Mel enough. She clearly loves cats and took great care in ensuring Pippin was well cared for and happy. Great communication too, keeping us updated on a daily basis. We felt very confident in Mel's care of our cat while we were away. Thank you Mel 😃
Sam visited my 7 month old kitten at my house to feed, play with him and clean his litter tray. It was the first time I’d left him home alone for more than a few hours. He’s quite a needy cat but Sam had excellent communication before and while I was away putting my mind at rest. I got home to a happy kitten
Absolute Perfection – We Couldn’t Be Happier!This was the first time we have ever left our cat, Hector, to go on holiday, and to say we were nervous is an understatement. We had never had anyone house-sit before, so trusting someone new with both our beloved boy and our home was a massive step for us. Thankfully, we found Joy, and she completely blew us away.From our very first meeting, Joy's warm, calm, and professional nature put our minds entirely at ease. She understood all of Hector's quirks and routine perfectly. While we were away, she sent us regular updates and lovely photos that showed Hector wasn't just being looked after—he was absolutely thriving and incredibly relaxed.Joy treated our home with the utmost respect, leaving it spotlessly clean and secure. Coming home to a happy, content cat and a perfectly minded house was the best feeling ever. Joy is an absolute gem, completely reliable, and a true animal lover. We will absolutely be booking her again for our next holiday and cannot recommend her highly enough!
Ezra was a fantastic sitter for our cat Floyd while we were away, very reliable and caring. We were away for just over a week and received updates everyday with lots a photos showing them playing and Floyd looking very happy. Ezra had come round before we went away to meet Floyd and learn his routine and handled everything perfectly over the week. Would definitely recommend - thanks Ezra!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sheffield on Rover is £15 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £23 per Visit.

Yes. There are up to 4,694 pet sitters offering care in and around Sheffield. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
