Ryan has done a fantastic Job with my Chester (newfoundland/retriever mix) we had a meet before the walks to see how chester would be with him and the moment they met he wagged his tail and was clearly very comfortable with each other. Ryan walked Chester just before and whilst I have been on holiday and I will continue to use ryan as chesters dog walker to keep that relationship going for any future holidays etc. Ryan sent me pictures with updates and my mum who was looking after Chester couldnt agree more that Ryan clearly loves walking dogs and he himself is approachable and friendly.

About: Loving every dog, big or small, lazy or crazy! 🐶🐾🤍 Hi, I’m Sadie! I’m a reliable and patient dog sitter based in Essex. I make sure every dog feels safe, calm, and sticks to their usual routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind. I have experience training dogs from puppies through to adulthood, so I’m confident handling energetic or strong dogs. I have currently studying part time so this is perfect for me. I am available a total of 4 days a week and study for the other 3. I feel that this fits into my life very well. If walking your dog, I will be okay whether big or small. I own a large and very strong dog myself so am experienced in walking strong dogs. I am also used to difficult and even reactive dogs and walk them on a regular basis.

Courtney took our 40kg Kangal puppy out for a nighttime stroll whilst my wife and I were out at a concert. Seems Sully must like Courtney as apparently he walked really well with his head collar! It gave us peace of mind to get a message from Courtney to say he was lovely and put back to bed. The Rover card is great too, with a cute photo of our boy all dressed and ready for his walk. We've already booked Courtney again!

About: I have worked in the veterinary industry since 2013 and qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2018. This allows me to provide a high level of care. I have experience in a range of species (furry and non-furry). Having volunteered at a wildlife hospital for 5 years and working a long time within the veterinary industry, I have hand reared many baby animals in my time. I have been providing advice to new pet owners for the majority of my career. Including training and general health advice, alongside training my own dogs from young puppies. I am able to provide competent care for more health challenged pets such as medication (to include daily injections) and mobility difficulties. I currently work a set rotation of 5 night shifts, which means I can provide specific dates of up to 10 nights of 24/7 care on my off time (I’m happy to discuss longer durations if required, regarding my work status) This also allows me to provide walks at times during the day when pet parents are at work. I have a secure, large, high fenced off garden to prevent any keen escapees. I have two small breed dogs myself for your pets company. Between them they provide the best of both worlds with play and relaxation time being part of their daily schedule. When it comes to your home, I appreciate all/any information/instructions provided to me. A run down of their usual routine helps me maintain as normal daily life as I can for your pet to reduce any stress while your gone.

About: I’ve looked after animals for as long as I can remember — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I’m at home full-time, which means I can give animals the time, attention, and care they truly deserve. Whether it’s keeping them safe, happy, well-fed, exercised, or simply keeping them company, their wellbeing always comes first. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. From quiet cuddles to playtime and daily care, I treat every animal as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and genuinely devoted to animals, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be in caring hands with me. It will fit in because I am a stay at home mum and my children are older so it is just me looking after the pets. I have fenced garden and outdoor cattery and locked and I have security cameras over the property. The animals have a large Area to relax and exercise.

About: I've always been brought up with dogs and cats being a major relationship in my life, I've looked after Chihuahuas to Staffordshire Bull Terriers. I love spending time with animals - I often prefer their presence to people! Just know that if I am lucky enough to look after your furry friends, they will have my undivided love and care! I am available day and night - your pets will be my number one priority whilst you are away, so that is one less worry whilst you're on a flight, cruise or road trip! I am currently a university student who is home over the summer period. I am fully flexible and can be booked at any time! This means that your furry friends will be my top priority as I have no other commitments. I will make sure to follow the feeding schedule (depending on the owner's preferences), make sure your pet has enough stimulation and follow the pet's individual routine. Although you're away, your pet's routine will remain the same.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in the past 3 years, from nervous dogs to those who are super playful. Each of them I give the care and attention they need. I treat all dogs like my own, fussing, attention and care. Puppy care too, as we all know they are hard work. 😅 I work evenings/nights.. and my partner works during the day so there is normally always someone. My routine differs, depending on my shift work but always make time to go out for walks. I can offer home-boarding to you, alongside my dog Rex. As long as they get along and we can meet up prior. He is super playful, well socialised & neutered. I do have a secure long garden (around 30m), so plenty of space for dogs to run around in. Getting to know your dog beforehand is, and meeting them with Rex is always best as it puts your mind as ease and for all involved. Please let me know your dogs vets (just incase) and any special requirements beforehand. If there is anything specific to them but happy to help and accommodate! My home is a home away from home for them ☺️

Catherine has been a fantastic dog walker for Buddy. She is reliable, friendly and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Buddy always comes back happy and well exercised after his walks. Communication has been great and it is reassuring to know he is in such safe and capable hands. Highly recommended.

Really happy that we chose Linda to walk our dog Daisy for a few days while we were unable to. First time had to use a dog walker & was a bit apprehensive & also worried how our dog would be with someone new. So pleased. Linda arranged a meet & greet beforehand & it did put our minds at rest & Daisy was happy. The walks all went really well & our dog has had some lovely times. Linda communicated quickly giving us updates & some great pics. As well as dog walking she would spend some time in the garden with her & settle her back down with cuddles before leaving. Really helped us out & lovely to know. Will definitely use Linda again in the future & nice they now have that bond.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Basildon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Basildon on Rover is £13.8 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 19,367 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Basildon. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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-to-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 Basildon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood 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, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Basildon.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

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 our Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find Walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 86% of Walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 19,367 Walkers in Basildon, 47% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
