“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.”

“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 taken care of Tiber. He is a larger dog with lots of energy. I stayed at his house and we had our little routine. I have also taken care of Chico. He is a much older chihuahua with partial blindness and is deaf. He was a bit of a challenge however once we got used to each other, our time together was very much enjoyable. He required 1 hour - 1 hour 30 walks per day. It gave me a chance to get my steps in 😁 I work from home every day except for Thursday. I have a bike that helps me get around. My weekends are usually free except for Sunday I am able to follow instructions regarding doors and gates if needed. I will provide care and attention to your pet to make them feel joyful and safe despite your absence

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: 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.

My Pet Care Journey From a young age, I have been surrounded by animals, fostering a deep connection and understanding of their needs.

About: I take the time to get to know each dog as an individual. Every dog has their own personality, routine, likes and dislikes, so I’ll always follow the routine you’re used to at home wherever possible. Whether your dog wants long walks and lots of play, or prefers a quiet afternoon on the sofa getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I also understand how difficult it can be leaving your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is having a lovely time. 🥰 For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job I want your dog to be genuinely excited to come back and see me! 🐶You won’t just be booking a dog sitter you’ll be choosing someone who genuinely cares about making your dog feel safe, loved and spoiled while you’re away. 🫶 Please note I can also look after your dog on a 1-1 basis without any dogs around! Just make sure you request this when you message me :) I grew up in a house full of dogs and puppies! I now work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Unlike someone who works away from home for hours, I’m here throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I can fit walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and toilet breaks around my working day, and I’m able to give them lots of company and attention throughout the day. Essentially, when your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home too 💕 I live in a large, spacious home with a huge garden and acres of private land, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play and relax. I also have beautiful woodland just a few seconds’ walk from our home, which is perfect for lovely walks and plenty of new smells to explore🐾🌳 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and settled in my home, while keeping their individual routines, needs and personalities in mind. I’ll follow your instructions carefully around feeding, walks, medication, treats and bedtime routines, so your pet’s stay feels as familiar as possible.

About: Since I was younger I would spend my free time walking and training my Grandmas dog, now since she has passed we look after him full time and I still have primary responsibility over him. I am typically help out family friends and relatives when they are away by walking and looking after there dogs as they believe I am trusted and responsible. I am currently searching for a full time job as I have just completed my A-levels. This means I have a lot of time on my hands to play with dogs and give them the attention they need and deserve!! In order to make sure your pet stays safe at all times. I would ensure to always keep a watchful eye on them when they are in the garden or even on a walk. I know first hand that dogs will eat anything they see so I would make sure they do not eat anything they should not ! I would also keep them on am extended lead as I may not have build trust with them yet so if I were to call them back they may not listen. These a just a few ways I would keep the environment safe for your dog.

About: When you trust me with your pets, you’re choosing someone who brings both real‑world experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve spent the past three years working in a small‑animal veterinary practice, which has given me a solid understanding of everyday pet care, routines, and how to keep animals calm and comfortable. I’m also pet first aid certified, so your pets are always in safe hands. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life. That long-term experience has taught me patience, confidence, and how to handle strong, sensitive, or anxious animals with reassurance and kindness. I’m experienced with all breeds and temperaments, from energetic puppies who need structure and positive reinforcement to senior pets who benefit from gentler routines and extra attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, their quirks, and what helps them feel settled and secure. Whether it’s supporting young pets through training, providing steady companionship for older ones, or simply keeping their day running smoothly, your pets will always be cared for with kindness, professionalism, and genuine affection. I currently work part time in a local veterinary surgery helping out on front desk getting to know all the owners and their furry friends🐶 I am fully insured, DBS checked and certified in pet first aid in order for me it carry out service a from the clients home.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 19,705 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 .

  • 85% 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 19,705 Walkers in Basildon, 47% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
