Led by Derek Collinson, who brings more than 25 years of pet care experience, K9 Time supports dog owners, cat owners, and puppy owners across Sheffield with care that fits real life. From daily dog walking to in-home sitting, every visit is planned around your pet’s needs, energy, and temperament.

Dog Walking And Pet Sitting With K9 Time

Solo Dog Walking Tailored To Your Dog

Your dog gets a private, one-to-one walk that matches their energy level, behaviour, and pace. K9 Time walks dogs one at a time, or up to 3 dogs from the same household, so your dog gets focused attention rather than a busy pack walk.

Each walk includes GPS tracking, plus photo and video updates through the free app. That gives you a clear view of where your dog has been and how the walk went.

Dog Sitting Visits At Home

When your dog stays in familiar surroundings, you can avoid the stress of kennels and keep their routine steady. Dog sitting visits can include walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and cuddles, along with practical help such as collecting mail or watering plants.

You also get updates with photos and videos, so you know your dog is settled and cared for while you are away. Regular visits help support home security too.

Puppy Sitting For Young Puppies Up To 16 Weeks

Your young puppy gets gentle, in-home care designed around feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, and early routine. This service suits puppies up to 16 weeks and helps support safe early care before wider exposure to other dogs and situations.

Visits include fresh water, cleaning bowls, play with favourite toys, and lots of TLC. Sessions are arranged to fit your puppy’s normal schedule and can include time in the home and garden.

Cat Sitting In A Familiar Home Environment

Your cat stays where they feel safest, at home, while you are away. Cat sitting visits can include feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and attention, so your cat keeps to a familiar routine.

You also receive photo and video updates through the app for peace of mind. Regular visits can add a useful layer of home security as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you earn walking dogs in the UK?

Earnings vary by location, experience, and whether you walk dogs one-to-one or in groups. In Sheffield, pricing often reflects travel time, service quality, and the level of personal care provided.

What is the typical hourly rate for walking a dog?

Across the UK, an hourly dog walk often falls within a broad local range depending on the service type. K9 Time charges £26 per hour for dog walking in Sheffield, with a 30-minute option at £20.

Is £20 per hour a reasonable rate for walking a dog?

£20 per hour can be reasonable when the walk includes reliable care, local travel, updates, and a personal service. For many dog owners, the value comes from trust, safety, and the peace of mind that your dog is getting focused attention.

What should you look for when hiring someone to walk your dog?

You should look for experience, insurance, DBS checks, clear communication, and a service that matches your dog’s needs. A dog walker who understands behaviour and offers updates can give you more confidence when your pet is out with them.

How do you apply to become a dog walker on popular platforms?

Popular platforms usually ask you to create a profile, set your service area, add availability, and complete any checks they require. You will often need to show that you are reliable, know how to handle dogs safely, and can communicate well with dog owners.
