“Chelsea is super proactive, always on time and takes lovely photos of my dog on his walks, we use her every week she’s a diamond! Highly recommended her services☺️”

“Another lovely day of doggy care from Ella. She seems to take such pride in writing her rover cards for when the walk is done which is so so lovely to have come through when at work. Ella is clearly a really dog lover and doesn’t seem to mind their quirks. Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to have you back in a couple of weeks 🥰”

“Emma was fantastic! We had to change days around and Emma was very receptive and adaptable to our requests as well as providing excellent communication all round. Emma gave great feedback and photos from the walk and we will continue to use Emma!”

About: Hello everyone, I've always had a great love for dogs since a child . I have a lot of experience and I am confident with all breeds and sizes . They really are a joy to be around . Please note when your dog is in my care they are treated like family. Lots of cuddles, kisses and good conversation hehe! They really do understand what are saying to them . Not to worry if your fur baby is on medication I am more than capable and comfortable with giving medicine, needles , if your dog has diabetes and checking their sugar levels to. I am here to make you feel at ease while you are away from them . A good long walk, play time and stimulating their brain with treats of course makes a very happy dog 🐕 I'm working from home so I'm available 24/7. Walking and playing can happen around the clock. They will not be left alone. They will be happy I live in a flat, there are so much parks at my finger tips to take them out for walk, run and play and fresh air.
About: I grew up with a big, silly Irish Red Setter who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs while they’ve been away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy. I’m a naturally caring person and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and like they’re having their own little holiday too.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up rescuing stray dogs and giving them a safe place, food and love. Over the years I have cared for many different breeds, from small playful dogs to large strong ones. I am calm, patient and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs. For me dogs are not just pets – they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active outdoors. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate proper time and attention to each pet I care for. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. When I look after a pet, I make sure they receive enough exercise, attention, and companionship. I never rush walks and always adapt the time and activity to the dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any instructions given by the owner so they feel secure and relaxed. Even though I live in an apartment, I make sure dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and visits to nearby parks. I keep a calm and clean environment and always focus on building trust with both pets and their owners.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Coming from a family of vets, animal care has always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve also spent several years working in a veterinary practice, helping care for and nurse a wide range of animals. I have plenty of experience with dog walking, house sitting, and caring for pets both through Rover and independently. Having owned dogs my whole life, I’m confident with walking, training, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for cats and smaller pets, including my own cat and tortoise. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and attentive, and I always aim to provide reliable care, regular updates, and lots of affection so both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I currently work in a hybrid role, with standard hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm. I work from home for most of the week, with one fixed office day on Tuesday and a second office day that I can choose, giving me flexibility to plan my schedule around pet sitting bookings whenever possible. When working from home, I'm able to provide plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Outside of my working hours, I'm fully available during evenings and weekends, allowing me to dedicate even more time to exercising, playing with, and caring for your pet. I'm organised, reliable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their usual routine, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioural requirements to help them feel settled and secure. Coming from a veterinary background and with experience working in a veterinary practice, I’m confident recognising signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets receive attentive, responsible care at all times. I’m also experienced with administering routines and following owner instructions carefully. When house sitting, I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. I aim to maintain a calm, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away.
“Jess is sensational! She always goes above and beyond to help with my boy and my mishaps (taking the key to work with me!) Oggy is obsessed with Jess and adores his time with her. Couldn't recommend Jess enough for any pet services. Thanks Jess :)”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats all my life and have cared for them for over 30 years. I’ve shared my home with German Shepherds, beagles and cats, and truly understand how much love and attention they need — especially when you’re away. I’m a certified Small Animal Hydrotherapist, currently studying L6 Veterinary Physiotherapy. I’ve also completed animal first aid, behaviour, and nutrition training. I’m DBS checked and committed to offering safe, loving care for your pets in their familiar environment. I’m currently working part-time and studying veterinary physiotherapy, which means I have a flexible schedule to provide dedicated care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for pet sitting and visits in RG22 and nearby areas. I’m DBS-checked, fully and trained in pet first aid. I never wear branded clothing or drive marked vehicles, so I won’t draw attention to your empty home. Your pet’s wellbeing, routine and comfort are always my top priority — whether that’s keeping their litter tray sparkling clean or giving them enrichment and puzzle time.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats, and over the years I’ve built a strong foundation of hands-on experience and knowledge in animal care. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and I’m also a dog handler in the military reserves, which has given me a high level of discipline, responsibility, and confidence working with dogs of all temperaments. I have my own German Shepherd, so I naturally have a soft spot for larger, high-energy breeds and understand the level of exercise, structure, and stimulation they need. I’m very passionate about animal welfare and always provide a safe, enriching, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Alongside this, I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour and experience in training dogs to a high standard. I aim to reinforce good habits on every walk, from lead manners to calm social interactions - helping make life easier and more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. As well as furry companions, I’m also experienced in exotic pet care. I have 8 reptiles of my own, so I’m very confident handling and caring for a variety of species, making me a great option for multi-pet households. I am a full-time dog walker/pet sitter so have all the time in the world for your fluffy friends! I do however attend one weekend a month for my military dog handler role but I'm sure I'll be able to fit you in around that! I offer in-home pet care through house sitting, so your pets can stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of their own space. I really value creating a calm, safe environment and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I naturally like to keep things clean and organised, so helping out with household tasks is never a problem. I always like to go the extra mile, I always aim to go the extra mile, so you can return to a home that feels just as clean - if not cleaner than you left it, with your pets happy, settled, and well cared for.

About: Raising and training a black lab in London and Hampshire. I have lots of experience with my own , as well as looking after friend’s puppies and dogs. I am on a hybrid work schedule meaning some days I am in London and other days I work from home and am available during the day for pet care. I would just need appropriate notice to ensure it fits my work schedule. I am available evenings and weekends. Happy to work to your schedule and routine. I crate train my own dog and am working on training her to be a working gun dog , so a lot of work has gone into her training, but I am happy to follow the client’s lead with how they would like their dog to be cared for. My dog is incredibly friendly and loves socialising with all dogs , but can be separated if yours needs space .
About: I’ve have had pets around me my whole life. I have a huge love of all animals (not spiders!) I am kind, caring and have pet sat multiple times for friends as I love being with animals, I find them soothing to be around. I can walk, bathe and care for all animals. I work full time but only have to be in office once a week on a Wednesday. So I am fully available 6 days a week. I live in a small house with a small fenced garden in Walthamstow with my partner who loves dogs just as much as I do and has around 7 years experience handling dogs. I am happy to house sit with your pets or happy for them to come to me.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Basingstoke
What a lovely dog walker who was so considerate of our dog Frank in the hot weather. Ella suggested alternative times so Frank could have a walk despite being booked for lunch time when the sun was at its hottest. We would have no hesitation in using Ella again or recommending her to other dog owners.

Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our two border collies — they loved her right away! She was diligent, punctual, and completely dependable. Nicole went above and beyond by keeping us informed about how the dogs were doing each day, especially when one of them wasn’t feeling their best. It was such a comfort knowing our pups were in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend! Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our two border collies — they loved her right away!

Crystal clearly loves dogs and our Chihuahua who’s not overly friendly with strangers gave her a seal of approval! Crystal doesn’t mind long walks and loves being out in the countryside. Our two came back happy and tired after their walk. Have booked her for another walk and also some housesitting.

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 Basingstoke. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
