“Frida loved Sydney from the first moment they met, she really enjoyed her walkies with her. I felt an immediate sense of trust in Sydney, she is friendly warm and professional. Frida is hoping for many more walks and games.”

“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.”

“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.
About: I’ve got a degree in animal care and have experience dog grooming with all breeds, sizes and ages. I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life, including rats and birds. I have previous experience of giving medication at certain times with multiple pets at once. Always having a passion for treating them the best of the best. If you need any other information about myself and experience please let me know! (If needing a weekend, please message me as my availability can vary).

I’m very equipped with how to keep animals safe in both my own home and other environments! Understanding their behaviour and boundaries, whilst being perceptive of surroundings.
“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: Hi, I’m Larnie! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have always had both dogs and cats in my life. I currently have one dog and four cats of my own, including a kitten that I raised from birth. I also cared for and raised a litter of four kittens, helping them grow into happy, healthy cats before finding homes for them. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, so you can be confident that your pets will be cared for with the same love and attention that I give my own. I have recently finished college, which means I currently have a very flexible schedule and can provide visits throughout the week. I’m available most days, with limited availability on Saturday afternoons and Sunday midday. I aim to work locally so I can be reliable and responsive for both regular and last-minute bookings. From September, my availability may become more limited as I move home, but I will continue offering pet services and will keep my schedule updated. The safety, comfort, and wellbeing of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe pets are happiest when their usual routine is maintained, so I aim to provide calm, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and currently have four cats and one dog of my own. For pet visits ,I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning - cats - , playtime, companionship, and medication if required with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I will always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe and cared for. If boarding is required, I have a large secure fenced garden for dogs and an enclosed outdoor area for cats providing a safe environment for pets. I am also working towards creating an even better dedicated space for pet care in my home. Throughout every booking, I provide regular photo and video updates, and I’m always happy to keep owners informed for extra peace of mind. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own.

About: I have over two and a half years of hands-on experience working in kennels, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My role involved feeding, exercising, maintaining high hygiene standards and ensuring every dog felt safe and comfortable. I also hold a pet first aid certificate, so I’m confident handling situations calmly if a pet ever feels unwell. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have a senior Bullmastiff who is my absolute best friend, and I’ve grown up around many different breeds ranging from Border Terriers to Mastiffs, Huskies and Italian Spinones. This has helped me become very comfortable understanding different personalities, energy levels and care needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I bring to every dog I look after. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a nervous dog that needs reassurance, or a senior dog that needs a slower pace and extra attention, I always treat them as if they were my own.”** 🐾 I’m currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits and day care between 8:30am–4pm on weekdays. I also offer boarding on weekends, where your dog will receive lots of attention, care and a comfortable environment while you’re away. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, exercise, medication if needed, and any house rules they normally have. During walks or visits I make sure dogs get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation depending on their age and energy level, while also prioritising safety at all times. With my kennel experience, I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. If pets stay in my home for weekend boarding, they’ll receive plenty of attention, regular walks and a calm, clean environment where they can relax. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured their pet is happy and well cared for.

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.

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.
