About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier. I grew up around them on my grandparents’ farm. I’m now a proud owner of two cats and a dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. With years of hands-on experience, I’m confident providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. As a student, I’ve built a routine that allows me to balance my studies with doing what I love, caring for animals. I have free time during the day and on weekends, which means I can give your pets plenty of attention, play, and cuddles. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I always follow the owner’s routine to keep pets happy and comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and have company if they like cuddles or just someone nearby. I’ll also keep the space tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
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 am a dedicated animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and helping them stay active and healthy. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, with a strong commitment to providing safe and enjoyable walks. I take pride in treating every dog with kindness and care, and I am eager to build trust with both pets and their owners through dependable service and a positive attitude. I currently work part time as a housekeeper I can be flexible and work from whatever time so give me a message and call and can arrange for your convenience. I have a dog myself named Leo. He’s a golden retriever of 3 years old and I live in a house with a small garden.
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: 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’ve loved dogs all my life, spending plenty of time around the pups of friends and family. Two years ago, I met my true dogmate, Matlock, a French Bulldog who completely changed my world. Since then, we’ve been side by side almost every moment of the day (working from home means she’s basically my boss!). Together with her Labrador buddy, they’ve trained me far better than I could ever train them. Thanks to them, I’ve learned to understand a dog’s needs, moods, and quirks. I’ll bring that same unconditional love and care to your furry friend. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day and my flat has aircon that can keep your baby comfortable all day. I already have a neutered French Bulldog, so I’m very used to balancing daily walks, playtime, and rest. Caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday routine, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and included. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a nice air con. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets feel right at home. Just a short 3-minute walk away, there’s a beautiful park perfect for walks, play, and fresh air. Your dog will be cared for in a safe and loving environment, as if they were part of my own family.
“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”
“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: Hi there! 👋🏻 I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, and it’s always felt completely natural to me. Back in Australia I shared my home with a gorgeous, high-energy staffy, my (very) large and in charge Russian Blue mix cat, and our deeply loved family dog - in her senior years she was deaf, blind, and required a bit of extra patience, gentleness, and reassurance. Basically, I’ve seen it all… and loved every minute! These days, I love pet sitting and house sit for cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities - from playful kittens to calm seniors, and everything in between. Most recently, I spent nine days looking after a shy but curious little tuxedo kitten, keeping her entertained, cuddled, and very much adored while her humans were away. I work from home 3 days a week, which means your pets get plenty of company, consistency, and calm energy. I keep routines steady, homes tidy, plants watered, and animals feeling safe and secure in their own space. I’m comfortable giving oral medication, caring for shy or anxious pets, and adjusting my approach to suit each animal’s unique personality. Above all, I genuinely care. Your pets won’t just be “looked after” - they’ll be loved, respected, and treated like the little family members they are ❤️ Whilst pet sitting I limit my activities away from home as much as possible. I work from home 3 days a week, giving your pets plenty of company and consistency. I attend dancing 2 nights a week, on days that I work from home, to ensure I am still present for majority of the day. I also volunteer and attend classes 1 night a week. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most at ease. I follow routines closely, keep homes secure and tidy, and move gently with shy or anxious cats. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every pet and home with genuine care and respect.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Barking
I've had an excellent experience with Nady as my dog walker. She walks my dog every week, and my dog absolutely loves her. She's reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I feel completely safe leaving my dog in her care and trust her completely.If you're looking for an amazing dog walker, she's the best!
Karen was great with Henry, he took to her straight away which is always a good sign! She is communicative, responds quickly, and kept me updated throughout. She made sure he was walked and fed, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again.
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!
