If you’re looking for a dog walker in Nether Edge, Sheffield, K9 Time offers something genuinely different. We provide strictly solo, one-to-one walks and never mix your dog with others.
Every walk is private and personal, paced entirely around your dog’s individual needs. We cover Nether Edge (S7) and nearby Sheffield postcodes, bringing over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience to every visit.

One-To-One Dog Walking In Nether Edge, Sheffield (S7)
At K9 Time, every dog walk in Nether Edge is a private, solo experience. We never combine dogs from different households into group or pack walks.
Your dog gets our undivided attention from the moment we arrive at your door. That’s just how we do things.
Why Solo Walks Suit Nervous, Reactive, And Older Dogs
Pack walks can introduce unpredictable dynamics and stress for nervous, reactive, or older dogs. A nervous dog might get overwhelmed, while a reactive dog could end up in situations that set back their progress.
Solo walks remove those risks entirely. With only your dog to focus on, we can read their body language, pick quieter routes, and adjust the pace to suit them.
For older dogs, being able to move at their own speed without pressure from other animals makes a real difference. It’s just kinder and more enjoyable for them.
How K9 Time Tailors Each Walk To Your Dog’s Routine
No two dogs are the same, and we don’t treat them as if they are. Before walks begin, we learn about your dog’s energy, behaviour, sensitivities, and their daily routine.
Walk length, timing, and route can all be adjusted to fit your dog. We offer one-hour walks and 30-minute walks, or a mix of both, depending on what works for your schedule and your dog’s needs.
What To Expect From A Typical Walk
We collect your dog from your home and set off on a route that matches their temperament and energy. GPS tracking runs throughout, recording the walk in real time.
After the walk, you get a report, photos, and video clips through the free mobile app. You’ll see exactly where they went and how they got on.
We can walk up to three dogs from the same household together, but never mix in dogs from other homes. That solo, focused care is central to what we do as a pet care service in Nether Edge.
Dog Walking Prices And What’s Included
Our dog walking prices in Nether Edge, Sheffield are straightforward. No hidden fees or confusing tiers.
| Walk Length | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 Hour Walk | £26 |
| 30 Minute Walk | £20 |
1 Hour Dog Walks
Our one-hour walk at £26 gives your dog a full, satisfying outing with plenty of time to explore, sniff, and exercise. This is perfect for higher-energy dogs or those who need a longer break during the workday.
30 Minute Dog Walks
At £20, the 30-minute walk is ideal for dogs who need a shorter, steadier outing—maybe due to age, health, or just their natural pace. It also works as a midday break for dogs who’ve already been out in the morning.
GPS Tracking, Photos, Videos, And Walk Reports
Every walk includes GPS route tracking, a written walk report, photos, and video clips, all delivered through our free mobile app. You can check in on your dog’s walk in real time and have a record of every visit.

Your dog also gets the chance to meet Derek in a relaxed setting before the first walk. It really helps them settle in on day one.
A Reliable Service For Working Days And Regular Routines
One Or Two Walks Per Day
We typically offer one or two walks per day, which fits easily around a standard working schedule. Whether you need a single midday walk or both morning and afternoon visits, we’ll build a routine around what works for you and your dog.
Support For Dogs From The Same Household
If you have more than one dog, we can walk up to three dogs from the same household together. Keeping familiar companions together is far less stressful for many dogs than walking alone.
It also keeps things practical and cost-effective for multi-dog households in Nether Edge.
