• For reactive dogs: We use quiet, low-traffic routes where your dog can decompress and sniff safely.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dog walkers charge in Sheffield? At K9 Time, my Sheffield dog walking prices are £26 for a full 1-hour solo walk and £20 for a 30-minute solo walk. Because I exclusively offer one-to-one walks rather than mixed pack walks, your dog gets my undivided attention, a tailored pace, and a calmer experience. You can view my full Sheffield dog walking prices. 

Do you offer group dog walking? No, I exclusively offer solo, one-to-one dog walks in Sheffield. I never walk mixed packs of unfamiliar dogs. This ensures a stress-free, safe environment, which is especially important for nervous, senior, or reactive dogs. If you have multiple dogs in your family, I can walk up to three dogs from the same household together.

Which areas of Sheffield do you cover? I provide local dog walking and pet sitting across South West Sheffield, specifically covering postcodes S7, S8, S10, S11, and S17. My main service areas include Ecclesall, Fulwood, Dore, Millhouses, Totley, and the surrounding neighbourhoods. You can see my full service radius on my Areas We Cover page.

How will I know how my dog’s walk went? I provide full transparency using a free mobile app. After every walk, you will receive a GPS-tracked route map, a detailed walk report, and photos and videos of your dog having a great time. It offers huge comfort while you are at work or away from home.

My dog is reactive and anxious. Can you help? Yes, I specialise in caring for reactive and anxious dogs. Because I only offer solo walks, your dog won’t be overwhelmed by a pack. Additionally, as a Certified Third Degree Master Practitioner in the Usui system of Reiki, I use a holistic, calming approach to help nervous dogs and rescue dogs settle and balance their energy during our time together.
