“Ighodalo has been amazing with my dog, Leo! He’s super friendly and you can tell he really loves animals. Leo always gets so excited when he sees him, which says it all. He’s always on time, really flexible, and great at communicating. It’s such a relief knowing Leo’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Maximilian is an absolutely wonderful dog walker! My dog, Leo, adores him and gets so excited every time he arrives for their walks. Maximilian is always punctual and makes sure Leo gets his full hour out and about—never cutting the time short. I love that he shares photos through the app and always provides thoughtful updates after each walk. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Leo is in such caring and reliable hands. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“I highly recommend Larissa. They followed all instructions and routines flawlessly, and were incredibly accommodating when my phone connection was limited while I was away on holiday. I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands! Most importantly my dog Minnie was extremely happy with Larissa and enjoyed her time together with her.”

About: I’ve been around and adored both cats and dogs from my childhood. I’ve never understood the great divide between cat and dog lovers…why can’t I be both?! I’m a remote freelance designer so have a very flexible schedule that can shift around the needs of your pet. I don’t have pets or family of my own, so your furry friend can be my priority! Without the need to go into an office during the day, I have the ability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own environment.
About: I am an enthusiastic dog lover and have had great experiences looking after dogs within my extended family and would love to be able to do that around the local neighbourhood. I have regularly looked after family dogs, taking them for walks, feeding, playing with them and keeping them company whilst their owners are out. I live with my partner who is also a dog lover and dog owner of 7+ years, who regularly helps out. I am an active person and and go for daily walks/runs. If you entrust your dog to me, I am certain they will have fun, be safe and receive a lot of love. I am very close to a parks and work from home most days, with free evenings and weekends. If you have any specific/extra requirement I am very flexible and will be more than happy to do what I can. At weekends I am free most of the day. I would usually be around the house doing chores and exercising and will have plenty of time to feed, play, walk your dog. During the week I work from home most days, with occasional days where I cannot be at home. This is indicated in my availability. When I am working at home I can keep an eye on your pet throughout the day and can do walks, play and have food/water prepared/topped up during the mornings (7:30-9:00), lunch (12:00-13:00) and after work (after 17:30). I have a large sitting/dinning area with plenty of floor space for pets. I live on the second floor so don't have a garden, but do have lots of parks nearby. I try to create a cosy, welcoming environment with comfortable areas and whether it's games, toys, or simple relaxation, I ensure that they are engaged and happy throughout the day. I am more than happy to give regular updates on pets' activities and well-being.

“Emma is always very reliable and has cared for my cat Max on several occasions. She always sends a nice update of the catsit. Emma goes the extra mile to help out and I would recommend her to all cat owners out there who need a friendly caring cat sitter”
About: Hi, I’m Amy! I’m 35 and have been a dog lover all my life. I’ve been trusted by friends to care for their pets, and I’d love to welcome a few more furry friends. Every dog is different, and I always try to match their routine and personality, whether that’s sniffy walks, playful games, quiet companionship, or just a bit of fuss when they want it.

About: I’ve owned dogs for almost my entire life. I’ve had small dogs and big dogs. Unfortunately my beautiful Bernese mountain dog passed away early October, so currently I don’t own a pet of my own. I have experience working in a day care centre for dogs. My duties involved picking the beautiful pets up from their homes and driving them to the day care centre where I would play with them in the garden with toys and interact with them using multiple mind games, taking them for walks, using discipline only when needed, feeding and grooming them. You can always guarantee your dog will be in good company with me. I am currently working part time but on my days off I have all the time to spend out for walks and snuggled up on the sofa with your pup (I hope!) I live in a pet friendly flat that has 4 communal gardens. I also have a balcony where my dog loves to spend a lot of his time, watching the world go by.
About: I have taken care of my aunt's young, feverish dachshund since 2022, and I have been trusted to feed, bathe, walk, and play with him. I'm currently a student studying at the university of Kent so I have more than enough of time to watch over your dogs or cats. I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, walks, play, and plenty of attention, and ensuring their safety, happiness, and comfort at home.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Starting with my family pets and gradually helping friends and neighbours over the years. I enjoy every part of making sure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy. I love the outdoors and long walks. I have experience with pets of all ages, from young puppies to older dogs who require a gentle approach. I have always worked hybrid with 1-2 days in the office so looking to fill my working from home days with company, either by walks or doggie day care! My sales meetings are fit around my preference so really can make your little one my focus for the day I live in a doggie friendly building with pet spa and enclosed garden area. My flat is also near several parks which makes dog walks nice and easy!

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Croydon
Aimee was excellent with Fritz. I was a bit apprehensive to begin with as I am not used to leave Fritz with other people, however Aimee was competent and very sweet with Fritz, who instantly liked her. I received updates at the end of the walk and Aimee also adapted very well to a last minute change, which required her letting herself into our house and dropping Fritz off there. I have already booked Aimee again and I am pleased to have found her!
I highly recommend Larissa. They followed all instructions and routines flawlessly, and were incredibly accommodating when my phone connection was limited while I was away on holiday. I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands! Most importantly my dog Minnie was extremely happy with Larissa and enjoyed her time together with her.
Reyna has been walking and pet sitting my dog for 2+ years and she’s been lovely. She knows how to handle my dog’s reactivity and special needs, and he enjoys their walks. She is good at following instructions and is highly communicative and reliable so I feel at ease when I am away. Highly recommend!
Lauren is a super lovely and reliable. She often looks after my boisterous labradoodle Ernie and I have complete trust that he’ll have a safe and fun time whenever he’s with Lauren. She’s a very caring and capable dog sitter and I’d 100% recommend. Thank you Lauren!
Jonathan did a great job walking my dog, Brownie. He was attentive, friendly, and clearly comfortable handling dogs. Brownie seemed to really enjoy the time with him, and it was reassuring to know he was in good hands. Overall, a positive experience and I would recommend Jonathan as a reliable and caring dog walker.
Sarah has been amazing with Milo — warm, caring and so easy to trust. He took to her straight away and came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. It was really lovely meeting her, and we’ll definitely be in touch again. Thank you so much, Sarah — Milo loved his time with you 🐾

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 Croydon. 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 Croydon.
