“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’m a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Although I currently have a cat, I’m confident caring for dogs and understand that every dog has its own personality and exercise needs. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same care and respect I’d want for my own pet. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks, gentle strolls, or extra attention, I’ll tailor each walk to suit them. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine during the summer, and I’m currently looking to provide dog walking and pet care services on weekdays. I’m available Monday to Friday and will do my best to accommodate your preferred times. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, and I’m committed to making every walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking preferences, and any special requirements. I’ll keep your dog on a secure lead unless you’ve specifically requested otherwise in a safe, enclosed area. I’ll treat your home with respect, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, and provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“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 🐾”
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.
“Dalo has been so helpful and really has taken the time to provide me and my dog an excellent service. He’s taken very good care of Papi and is super responsive, diligent, and offers updates for every walk he goes on. Thanks, Dalo!”
About: I have been around animals since I was very young. I have worked in a dog grooming parlour as an assistant as well as a pet shop making sure the animals were looked after and cared for properly while also giving them individual love and attention. I am currently working part time but the days I have off I would love to spend time with your pets so you don't have to worry about them when your at work or away. I am more flexible in the afternoons but if mornings are a need for your pet I am happy to help. I unfortunately don't have pets at this current moment in time but I look after my sister in laws guinea pigs which they are so cute and a dream to look after. I would prefer to come to the animals place of home due to a more spacious area and them being comfortable in their own space.
About: Hello! My name is Hope, I’m 31 years old, I’m a Youth Worker, and I adore pets. My first cat, TJ, was a rescue. We had him from the age of 16 and he lived to the age of 23. He passed away a few years ago, but I believe he lived a long and happy life because we gave him the love and care he needed. When he was 16, we were told he had only had 6months to live, but he continued to live an extra 6-7 years. I miss him everyday. TJ was on medication for his heart and kidneys, and he was on specialised food. If your cat needs specialised food and/or medication, I am more than happy to provide your cat the care they require. I now have another cat, Ivy. She is 4 years old, and we rescued her from Bahrain. She is a calico, and an absolute drama queen. She is funny, sassy, vocal, ‘spicy’ yet sweet. If you have a calico, I’m sure you know what I mean! I also care for my neighbours cats, including a Bengal. He also has specific requirements (for example, extra playtime to keep him stimulated). I have always been an animal lover. Prior to having cats, I used to own dogs, fish, and rabbits. I also care for my neighbours guinea pigs and dogs when they are away. I regularly care for 4 dogs in my apartment building. This includes regular walks and sleep-overs. If you pick me as your pet-sitter, I will not only provide the basics, but I’ll spend lots of time with them to ensure they are happy and not lonely. You will receive plenty of updates via WhatsApp, including pictures and videos.
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.
“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!”

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.
