About: I've been taking care of all types of animals for several years. Including snakes, lizards, cats dogs, and even a tarantula. I've provided exercise, care and the same love I have for my animals at home. I care daily for my own two cats, and work part time as a pet/ house sitter. Please check with me for my upcoming availability. I can rearrange my schedule to suit your needs. I will take care of your animal's needs with attention and care. Whether that means following a special meal plan, going on ten walks a day, or anything else they require. I’m happy to provide references from past clients. If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to call or text me anytime. My phone is always open to you.
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.

Also great at walking larger dogs and dogs with high exercise requirements Currently open at all hours and all days of the week due to waiting for other job offers. I am able to come any time any day. I will follow the advice given by the pet parents to a T and I will make sure to take care of there fluffy family members like a member of my own family.
About: As of recent, I no longer have any pets of my own full-time and will enjoy getting to spend time with yours! I have had pets almost all of my life, and always more than one at a time. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, small indoor pets, and birds. I also provide care for chickens, and feeding care for horses, goats, and sheep. For the past 8 years I have done overnight, extended stay pet sitting, drop in care, and boarding in my home for dogs or small animals who come with their home (for example guinea pigs). I can also provide transportation and care for animals attending special occasions or wanted as a part of photos (for example at a wedding). I have experience giving both oral and injected medications to dogs and cats. I work full time 8:30 - 4:30 but do work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can provide care before and after work as well as during the days when I work from home. I am also free most weekends. Because all animals are different, my first priority is to provide the type of care and services specific to their individual needs. I do have a large yard, but it is not fenced in. I love to go on walks / hikes with dogs.
About: I'm comfortable with feeding, administering medications, and walks for dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's routine and making them feel safe and comfortable while your away. I'm flexible and available for any time of the week, including weekends. I'm happy to work with your schedule for drop-ins, walks, and extended care. When caring for pets in homes, I treat your space with respect and follow your instructions carefully. I stick to your pet's regular routine for feeding, walking, potty breaks, and playtime to keep things consistent and stress free.
About: I've grown up with rescue dogs my whole life. For the past 17 years, I've been living and teaching overseas, and no matter where I've been in the world, animals have been part of my family's life. There's something about pets that goes beyond companionship; they're a witness to our lives with no strings attached love- It's our responsibility to be their advocates. Right now I'm home with my little one (11 month old), so I have the time and presence to give your dog or dogs the care, love, and reassurance they need while you're away. Whether it's a neighborhood walk or a longer hike, I'm up for it! Puppies, seniors, anxious pups- I'm happy to help! Being at home with my baby means I have a flexible routine, so pet care fits in easily throughout the day. I can work around what your dog needs, whether it's a morning walk, a midday drop in, or afternoon hike. I know dogs do best with a consistent rhythm, routine, and presence. I can come to you so your dog feels comfortable in their own environment, with their own routine. I'm happy to be a familiar, safe person for them so they can thrive and feel comfortable. I'll follow your lead on feeding routines and anything special that helps support your dog. You know your dog best, I'm there to keep things as consistent as possible while you're away.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Merton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Merton.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merton. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
