About: My husband and I have Pepe, we regularly dog sit for our friends when they go on holiday. However I will be caring for your pets alone and won’t have any assistance. I have a car, know lots of good beaches, woods, fields. I’m a staff nurse, meaning 3 days on, 4 days off a week. Plenty of time for walkies. I have a car, and know plenty of walking spots. I know the area well, I already do welfare visits for my friends’ dogs, plus dog sitting and walking. Let me know if you have any questions:)
About: I grew up with a loving English Bull Terrier who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be -also helping with family friends conquering their fears of dogs and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years l'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. Im in full time employment split up over the week however, my hours are very flexible during varying Monday - Friday just get in touch and we can find a time that works perfectly. I'm really careful and attentive when it comes to pets. I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and settled. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep an eye on things, and make sure the environment is calm and secure - doors checked, no hazards around and plenty of time spent making sure they're happy - treating them with the same care and patience I'd give my own.
“Amy was so good with my dog and she genuinely cares about older dogs’ needs. She was on time and quickly took over for the walk. Her communications were spot on and I was very grateful to have the confidence in her abilities in order to leave my dog.”
“Mathilda was absolutely outstanding while looking after our dogs during our honeymoon. From the very start, she was reliable, caring, and incredibly attentive, which gave both me and my husband complete peace of mind while we were away. She took our dogs out on their walks every day, making sure they were happy, well exercised, and thoroughly cared for. What really stood out was how well she kept us updated throughout our trip, regularly keeping us in the loop and reassuring us that everything was going smoothly. It was clear our dogs built a wonderful bond with Mathilda and genuinely looked forward to seeing her each day. They absolutely loved their walks with her, and it was so comforting to know they were not only being looked after, but also enjoying themselves so much. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for them and would highly recommend Mathilda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and fantastic with dogs.”

About: I have had pets for most of my life, from Staffordshire bull terriers to cocker spaniels. I have taken care of my pets from pups all the way through to their senior years and therefore have experience caring for puppies just learning their commands, to geriatric dogs struggling with their mobility, and everything in between. I have also had the privilege of looking after my friends and families dogs. I am currently working part-time from home so will have plenty of time to play with your pups.

“Debbie is very kind and welcoming. She has a lovely house and garden for your dog to enjoy and 2 quiet gentle dogs for company. I feel Poppy is in safe hands. Highly recommended!”
“Klaudia has been amazing! We were a little worried initially about dog walking as Freddie can be challenging around other dogs on walks and this was for 2 weeks whilr we were in Thailand. Klaudia came and met Freddie on her own time to make sure everything was a good fit and put our mind at rest before we committed which was really appreciated. The updates we got from Klaudia were superb and she is an experienced dog walker who was ate confident can handle Freddie if he got himself into a difficult situation. We really look forward to using Klaudia again in the future! I would 110% recommend!”
“Chris has been a lifesaver. He stepped in to walk our Lab at very short notice and was perfect. Winston really loved him and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and using him again (and I’m quite picky about who I trust with our dog). Huge thanks Chris”

About: Both my partner Andy and I have grown up with dogs and believe they’re not just pets, but true members of the family. We recently said goodbye to our beloved family Labrador at the age of 13, which gave us invaluable experience in caring for senior dogs. from administering medication to adapting routines for comfort and mobility. We regularly look after friends’ and family’s dogs, and pride ourselves on providing calm, loving, and attentive care. Every dog we look after is treated with the same affection and respect we’d give our own. I have a background in nursing and I’m currently training in dog grooming once a week. I bring a calm, compassionate approach to pet care. I have experience handling dogs of all temperaments, including those who are anxious, elderly, or require a little extra patience. Whether it’s a lively puppy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, your pet will be cared for as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My partner, Andy, works from home full time, so there’s always someone around to provide company and care. I work a 9–5 role, and together we create a relaxed, pet-friendly environment. We live just a five minute walk from Highcliffe beach and love exploring the New Forest National park, making our daily walks varied, stimulating, and enjoyable for every dog we care for.

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 Christchurch. 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.
