“Friendly and communicative throughout. Layla was comfortable with him and everything went smoothly overall. As Layla can sometimes be a little stubborn when meeting new walkers, a bit more confidence and experience handling hesitant dogs would be beneficial, but he was patient and keen to make sure she was comfortable. Thank you for looking after her.”
About: I've always loved being around pets, and I spent my teen years with my lovely do, Mya. I have been dogsitting in London since moving here 6 years ago, and love meeting all the different doggies around. I am a freelance translator, so I set my own timings most of the time, making it easy to organise a flexible schedule for the day. I am not able to host pets in my house, but I am more than happy to visit and/or stay at the pet's residence. I am a very clean a respectful person, especially in spaces that are not mine. I understand the importance for some pets to stay in their safe environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, always had family dogs, undertaken animal study courses and volunteered at ranged charities including dogs trust and dog hydrotherapy centres! I have a small toy poodle who gets along really well with other dogs. I work from home most of the week and can take dogs out for toilet breaks and fun walks whenever needed, or play with them whenever they need some attention! My home is my dogs home so anything is for offer- toys, treats, furniture, a bath if they need it. I have a flat but lots of green areas around me which I take my own toy poodle out to many times a day.
About: Dog mama with 12 years of experience. I have a Yorkie which is still energetic, I am a patient, reliable pet sitter experienced with senior pets and puppies. I am currently job hunting, so I’m fully available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, consistent pet care throughout the day and week. I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s routine closely, prioritize supervision, maintain clean spaces, and ensure secure leashes, doors, and feeding practices. I will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: Will care for and love your dog like my own. Have grown up with dogs and cats in the family. Whilst I prepare for a dog of my own, I enjoy walking, training and playing with friends dogs and would love to get to know your dog. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so happy to have a regular canine companion on those days. I may be available on some Tuesdays but couldn’t commit to every Tuesday. I can be available on weekends, day or evening. I live in a flat on the 5th floor with a balcony. Your dog would only be allowed on the balcony under full supervision. Your dog is welcome on my sofa. There is a large park less than a 10 minute walk away. I don’t have any pets so your dog will have my full attention.
“Ainhoa walked out dog Zoe on an evening when we went to a show in central London. She was communicative and sent several updates while feeding and walking Zoe. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pet”
“Rianne went out of her way to accommodate my request and Boodle and I are very grateful for it too!! Will certainly be booking Rianne again and would recommend to others. Thank you Rianne!!”

“Olga has been such a great help! She walked my Doberman very well, was able to handle his behaviour. Was overall a very good walk, from the pictures she sent I could tell Max had a very good time!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life having been raised with them in the house and attending to all their needs throughout the years. This includes raising dogs from puppies, teaching them tricks, monitoring their diet, going for walks, attending vet visits and caring for them their whole lives. I am currently between roles thus very flexible when it comes to the day/week routine. This may change in future but I remain available. My home is set up for both my cat and dog, from their discreet bedding (which is regularly changed), food and food bowls (all labelled with expiry date), grooming brushes and toys. This also includes a clear schedule for walking, feeding and play time. I am guilty of leaving what I am doing to attend to their needs.

“Our dog Sunny needs extra, special care - he's senior with eyesight & hearing issues. We know Sunny is in caring hands with Josh and can tell Sunny loves his walks! Josh is incredibly reliable and attentive to our little Sunny, we're so grateful for him.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 15, as I helped neighbors and family friends look after them while they went on holidays. I grow up with cats and dogs I love teach new tricks, long walks I currently work 3 hours a day, but I have enough time during the day to play with them, go for walks, and I am available for boarding every day, including weekends. I have a fenced garden and an adorable dog who is very friendly and playful, but if it bothers you, I can separate them so they're not in the same space, since my house is big and has several rooms.
About: I was raised with staffs and frenchies and babysit friends cats and dogs all the time. I absolutely love animals, think I was a dog in a previous life 😅 I work from home Monday Wednesday and Friday and am at home most weekends. Days I work from home are super flexible, I probably actively work for around 6 hours at my laptop I have lots of space for beds etc if needed but happy for the pets to sleep on my couch or in bed with me

Barking dog owners share their Rover experiences
We’ve been working with Nimmi for a number of months now, with regular walks for our dog three times a week, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. Nimmi is incredibly personable and reliable, and she is absolutely amazing with our dog, Chili. It’s very clear how much she genuinely cares. Nimmi is attentive, thoughtful, and really tuned in to Chili’s needs and personality. She also takes amazing photos which we thoroughly enjoy looking through after walks! We’ve felt completely comfortable and confident with Nimmi walking Chili, and it’s such a relief knowing our baby is in such good hands. Nimmi consistently goes above and beyond, and it really shows - Chili waits for Nimmi in the window every lunch time now because she’s so excited for her walk!
Shuk has been fantastic with our cockapoo, Ivy. Her communication has been excellent, and she always follows instructions carefully, which gives us real peace of mind. Most importantly, Ivy is always so happy and excited to spend time with Shuk, and as dog owners, that means everything to us. We also really appreciate the regular updates and all the lovely photos from each walk. It’s clear Ivy is well cared for and enjoying herself. We’re very pleased and would highly recommend Shuk! 🙏
Catia is great and our Martha loves her and her pup Ralph. Really appreciated her flexibility in rescheduling walks. Martha is quite a nervous dog but loves walking off the lead. Catia is very confident and knowledgeable about dogs, so Martha was able to do her usual off-lead walks. We would definitely recommend Catia.
It’s clear Yaseen loves animals, we have a big kid and wanted to ensure we find someone who can handle our big high energy “pup”, on the walk it was apparent he can indeed handle a big energetic dog (and has experience with it) whilst being very calm, caring, attentive and professional. We recommend Yaseen with confidence!
Isabelle was amazing with our dog, Ivy. We met beforehand to see how she would interact with her, and she was so easy to talk to. She always made sure Ivy came home clean and dry after every walk, and she followed all the instructions for handling our keys perfectly. We really appreciate her and highly recommend her!
Wow. For a nervous first timer like me, this was the best decision I ever made to make sure my senior dog was taken care of!! Araceli went above and beyond, she came to meet us a day before we had to leave the house and our dog for the weekend and met him and asked questions to guarantee things go smoothly. She even offered to come by the next day so I rebooked instantly!! HIGHLY recommend Araceli, your pet will be safe in her hands.
