About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have my own dachshund, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs, and I’m patient, attentive and caring. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles while you’re away, and I’ll always treat them like my own. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5pm, so I’m around throughout the day. I can provide regular attention, toilet breaks and company, with walks before or after work and plenty of time for longer walks and play in the evenings and at weekends. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I have had dogs all my life and will provide a calm, safe and caring environment. As I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day.
About: I have the most hands-on experience with cats—I’ve raised my own rescue kitten from the time he was tiny, feeding him every few hours, cleaning, and helping him through every stage of early development. I’ve also cared for other cats, including those who were shy or adjusting to new environments, and I take pride in earning their trust through patience and calm attention. I have professionally cared for dogs , I truly love them. Back home, I volunteered with rescue groups and helped save many street dogs, making sure they were fed, safe, and supported until they could find proper homes. That experience deepened my compassion and adaptability with animals, especially those who are nervous, elderly, or in need of extra patience. What sets me apart is my calm, observant nature and my commitment to making each pet feel safe, respected, and cared for—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their home. I’m currently job hunting, which means I have plenty of time to care for pets at home. My days are flexible, and I’m usually around for most of the day and night. I already live with my own cat, so my home is quiet, calm, and pet-friendly. I’m very used to maintaining clean litter trays, keeping a regular feeding routine, and giving cats the space—or affection—they need. Whether your pet needs a peaceful place to stay or regular visits, I can adjust to what works best for them. I used to live with my own cat back home, and that experience taught me how to create a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. Now that I’m living in a flat, I make sure every window is secure, and I maintain a quiet, tidy space where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I’m careful with household items, keep routines consistent, and always prioritise their wellbeing. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or visiting them in theirs, I treat each one with patience and respect. I follow care instructions closely—feeding, cleaning, giving medication if needed—and take time to build trust with the animal. I know that being away from their owner can be stressful, so I do everything I can to help pets feel safe, seen, and cared for.
“Ben has been taking Rosie out on a regular basis since we moved to the area last year. He makes sure she gets some enrichment without overdoing it in her old age. Fed and watered when necessary. She always seems to have enjoyed her time out with him.”
About: I have taken care of a couple of dogs in the last 3 years. A Shih Tzu and a Schnauzer. I had no prior experience beforehand and have adapted well. I do thorough cleans, play time, walks, feeding, bathing, medicine administration and general care and attention I work from home most of my week and look after my Shih Tzu. I live at home with my wife and I am close to my work so I am very flexible with care commitments if I am ever called into the office I live in a secure apartment with gated access, access to 2 patio gardens, 2 roof top gardens. I have plenty of space, green areas and walkable places near me. I have a small Shih Tzu that is very playful with other dogs
About: 🐾 A little note to pet parents 🐾 Every pet has their own personality, needs and routines. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, understood and genuinely cared for. I provide personalised, one-to-one care, focusing on your pet’s wellbeing, enrichment and emotional comfort rather than simply meeting their basic needs. I believe that good pet care means understanding each animal as an individual and helping them feel secure enough to be themselves. 🐶 My approach to pet care 🐾 Individual attention: Every pet receives care tailored to their personality, energy level and daily routine, with time for companionship, play and rest. 🐾 Positive reinforcement: I use gentle, reward-based guidance to encourage desirable behaviours, build confidence and help pets develop at their own pace. 🧠 Enrichment & natural behaviours: From sniffing walks and interactive play to exploring their surroundings, I provide opportunities for pets to exercise their natural instincts and stay mentally stimulated. 💛 Anxious & rescue pets: I have experience caring for rescue animals and understand the importance of patience, consistency and respecting their boundaries. To me, this is how real trust is built. 🦴 Thoughtful, Science-based care: I pay attention to feeding routines, hygiene, behaviour and changes in mood or energy, always following your pet’s individual needs. 📸 Daily updates you can rely on I know that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be difficult, especially when you’re away from home. That’s why I provide regular photo and video updates, along with a daily written summary covering what we’ve done, how your pet has been feeling, their behaviour and anything worth noting. You won’t just receive a few photos. You’ll have a clearer picture of your pet’s day, from playtime and enrichment to their little habits, moods and moments of progress. 🏡 Care that feels like home As a pet owner myself, I understand that matters. I have two cats of my own and experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats and small pets. I know that the little things matter: clean bowls, fresh water, appropriate feeding, a comfortable environment and time to play, rest and feel secure. My aim is simple: to give your pet attentive, individual care, respect their unique personality and help them feel as comfortable as possible, so you’ll have complete peace of mind. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first, and keeping you informed is part of that care. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan around each booking and provide attentive, one-to-one care. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of individual attention, care and quality time. I have no pets at home. When your dog stays in my home, I provide personalised, one-to-one care, making sure they receive plenty of individual attention, companionship, playtime and rest. I take the time to understand their personality, routine and needs, helping them settle into a calm and comfortable home environment at their own pace. When caring for your pet in your home, I make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I respect your home, keep the environment clean and tidy. For both services, safety and trust are my priorities. I provide regular photo and video updates, along with a daily written summary, so you know how your pet is doing, what activities we've enjoyed together and how they're feeling throughout the day. My aim is to make every stay or visit a safe, positive and comfortable experience, tailored to your pet's individual needs.

About: I grew up with dogs and started Rover during my gap year.

This can include feeding, walking, administering medication, cleaning up after them, and spending time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I also make sure the home is left secure and tidy after each visit.

“Steve is an absolute god send. We were really worried about me heading back to work and leaving Margo on her own but she adores Steve and he has made this process so much easier. Notable improvement on how she walks on a short lead as well. Couldn’t recommend highly enough and will continue to use Steve into the future, as long as he is happy to help.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My family home has never been without one. I have 2 dogs currently a 13yrs bichon frise cross and a 2yr old golden doodle cross living at my parents. They come and stay with me when my parents need dog sitting. I have looked after friends dogs of all different breeds and sizes from dachshunds to cane corso.

Couldn't be more pleased with Nicola as our new dog walker for Kiara! She is friendly, professional, organised, and most importantly loves our dog Kiara. We feel safe and secure when Nicola takes Kiara for her walks and we know that she will always have a great time. Thank you!
We were absolutely delighted with Samiksha’s dog-sitting service. She was incredibly kind and went out of her way to come and meet us at the hotel where we were staying on holiday, while we attended a concert on Friday evening. She was punctual, flexible and absolutely lovely with our dog. She took Salty for a walk, kept him company and looked after him beautifully throughout the evening. She was also very respectful and careful with him in the hotel, both in the lounge and in our room. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. We would definitely recommend Samiksha and would happily ask her to look after our dog again. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️
Review We used Rachel for the first time while we were away on holiday for a week, and I honestly couldn’t have been happier with the service she provided. As we’d never used a dog walker before, I was a little nervous about leaving our one-year-old Golden Retriever, Gary, but Rachel was fantastic from the very beginning. I contacted her quite last minute, and she was incredibly responsive and arranged to meet us beforehand, which immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the week, Rachel kept me updated, sent photos from the walks and was always accessible. Gary absolutely loved his walks and it was so lovely knowing he was getting plenty of stimulation and attention while we were away. Rachel also kindly let our other dog out into the garden. He’s much more shy and anxious, so I really appreciated her taking the time to accommodate both of their different personalities and needs. I’m genuinely so pleased with the care Rachel gave them. She was reliable, thoughtful and clearly really cares about the dogs she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much, Rachel! ☺️
Ben is very professional and was fantastic with our high-energy teenage lurcher Onyx - who warmed to Ben immediately when we met. Ben asked all the right questions and genuinely wanted to get to know Onyx, learn about his behaviour, understand his normal routine. He gave me some great tips too! I'm really glad to have found Ben on Rover, he's very friendly, genuine and communicative. And I've already booked more services
Reus had such a great time with Ching—he looked genuinely happy in every single picture! I was getting updates constantly, which made me feel really at ease. You can tell he was well cared for and enjoying himself the whole time. I’d 100% recommend him and will definitely be booking again.
Ceri helped out at very short notice and maged to research the area. She turned up when agreed and took our dog on two lovely walks. Our dog Seamus seemed to have a lovely time in the photos taken on the walk and feedback from Ceri. She was a delight and I would definitely use her again.
Patricia has cared for my fur baby for around a year, providing day care and holiday care. My baby adores going there and I know she is safe and cared for. Patricia is warm, friendly and caring and follows my dogs needs to tee. Long walks, adventures, love and lots of snuggles are always given. Even camp outs when my baby sleeps over. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Patricia goes above and beyond and is extremely well priced.
Tanakrit was excellent! I was a little late with Daisy, which he took in his stride. He coped with her well, she seemed very happy when he bought her back and he understood her needs - he even bought his own poo bags! I would definitely use him again. Rob Davies

FAQs for Dog Walking – Birmingham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Birmingham is £17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £24 per walk.
On Rover, Walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,275 Walkers on Rover offering Dog Walking across the city of Birmingham. About 80% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 Birmingham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Birmingham after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
You can find dog walkers on Rover who have experience of walking dogs across a wide range of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Each walker's experience and the dogs they're comfortable handling will vary.
When searching for a walker, use the dog-size filter and select either 18–45 kg or 45+ kg. Then review walker profiles and verified reviews for experience with dogs of a similar size, strength, temperament, and energy level.
Before booking, tell the walker your dog’s breed and weight, how they walk on a lead, their usual pace and commands, any triggers, and how they react to other dogs, people and traffic. Explain any walking equipment or handling instructions the walker will need to follow.
Complete your dog's profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before the first walk. These steps can help you and the walker confirm that they're a good match for your dog.
Every walker must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the walker is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go through your pet's routine, medical needs and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 2,275 Walkers in Birmingham, 44% 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.
