I can’t recommend Amber enough! They are reliable, punctual, and clearly love dogs. My pup comes back from every walk happy, tired, and well taken care of. I really appreciate the updates and photos—it gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring, Amber is the perfect choice!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have been horse riding since I could walk, and I’ve dreamt of being a Vet since I could talk. Although my career path has changed, my love for animals has not. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, which I have had since they were babies, and now I am looking after them in their senior years. My dog currently has heart disease, due to genetic issues, so I am experienced in administering medication. My cat, although she is old, she is still as fiesta as ever. She has not taught me how to administer medication, but other skills such as patience. I’m currently working full time as an apprentice in supply chain compliance. This allows me to be flexible with my working as I am working from home majority of the week. I also have flexible working times so can finish my hours later/earlier than a rigid working week. My dog got a daily walk due to him being little and older, he doesn’t walk very far (he chooses when to go back). He suffered from heart disease- a genetic disorder, so I administered medicine to his twice daily every 12 hours. My cat on the other hand is very low maintenance, but loves a cuddle and spend majority of the day sleeping in my room.

About: *there is no pet in our house! Momo continues to live with Jerry’s parents when Jerry moves to the UK! I have a cute little cat named momo and have taken care of her for 9 years, covering the span from a small kitten to a senior cat. I am pretty good at taking care of a cat’s basic need and know how to respect them and give them spaces. Additionally, I also have a loving girlfriend who is caring to animals! She had experience taking care of dogs and will like to work with me as a team to take care of your dog! If you have a small dog, no problem! Jess had an experience taking care of dogs for over 10 years! It was a lovely Shih Tzu dog and she will care for your dog equally! Currently working full-time so will likely to be available during the weekends and weekdays after four. Of course every pet has their habits so I can be flexible. My girlfriend works from home so she can also be a big helper to take care of them. I have a decent size apartment with a guest bedroom, your furry child can have its own space or stay close to people depending on their personalities.

We recently hired Steve look after our dog, and he was fantastic! Our dog Maximus took to him right away, which is a great sign. Steve is friendly, easy to talk to, and really knows how to connect with dogs. After a walk, our dog came back happy and relaxed, which reassured me that he was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking Steve again in the new year! If you’re looking for someone to look after your dog who genuinely cares, I highly recommend him! 😊 Thanks again

Elizabeth walked my dogs when we had to leave with my mother in law for a few days. She updated the reports in a timely fashion, the dogs seemed very happy, and my mother in law reported they were very settled after their walks. She also said Elizabeth was “lovely” so I’m very happy and grateful for her walking services.

About: I've been around animals since I was little, from cats, to dogs, to birds... and chickens!! I often take care of animals in my free time for my friends and family whether it's for a night or a few days. I'm currently working full time so I'm strictly only available on the weekends. I'm happy for check-in, stay overs or walks! I've not usually had any issues with any dogs or cats I have looked after, if there is a specific need for your animal that I should be aware of, I will ask you for a set on instructions before our first appointment

About: I’ve grew up in a family home where we’ve forever had a different range of pets. We started off with 2 hamsters, then 2 guinea pigs, then chickens and then 2 special needs dogs. I’ve recently moved out of my family home with my 5 year old French Bulldog Elsy, who absolutely adores other dogs. My parents 2 dogs are very needy and require a lot of love and medication so I’m very clued up with looking after dogs with more higher needs. My brother has also been at uni and finished his veterinary degree. & is now a manager veterinary nurse at a vets so teaches me a lot generally & is always around to give advice where needs be. Your fur babies will be my number 1 priority as I believe all animals should be treated the way humans are. I also have full boarding, walking, and pet sitting insurance. ❤️❤️ I work a Monday to Friday 9am-5pm job, however I do have the flexibility to work from home where your furbabies need someone to be home all day. I have a fenced off garden, with plenty of area to play. I have a 5 year old French Bulldog Elsy, who will keep your fur babies company. I do also have a spare room if your dog is currently crated and would prefer them to stay in their crate. If your dog does prefer to be on their own, I do have the availability to take my Frenchie to my parents so your dog has full roam of my house on their own🐾

About: Four years ago I got my dog Snoop who I’ve raised from 8 weeks old. Since then I’ve looked after lots of family and friends’ dogs so am used to looking after lots of different breeds. Before Snoop, I regularly took care of my family dog and again was heavily involved in his training from having him as a puppy. My own pup loves to socialise and we walk twice a day so your own pooch will get plenty of exercise with us. I work full time as a teacher so I would be available to look after your pup anytime from Friday night until Sunday night. I’m also available during school holidays. I have a fenced garden that is very dog secure. Believe me it has to be with my own escape artist! My dog has the run of the house and your dog would too if you are happy with this. Happy to discuss any further requirements.

About: In my years, I have helped look after dogs (including helping my mum with our labrador's litters), cats (including my cat giving birth under my bed and raising the kittens until they were ready to go to their new homes), guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish and even a snake! I love all animals and never feel a home is fully complete without at least one! I have a zero-hours contract job and a child for whom I share custody on a 50/50 basis. I have availability during school hours, evenings and alternate weekends. If you are happy for my son to be a part of the pet boarding/sitting process, then I would have more frequent availability. In whatever capacity I am entrusted to care for your pets, I will listen to, and follow, all of your instructions. I will give your animals the same level of care, attention and love that you give them and will work with you to ensure a successful service is provided.

About: Hi lovely people! 😁 I’m Megan, the face behind Furbelicious Paws 🐾🩵 I can’t wait to meet you and all your adorable fur babies! I’m a trained Dog Groomer by profession ✂️🐶 and have worked with animals for over 10 years now. During that time, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs, cats, grooming, boarding kennels, and puppy training classes 🎾 So I’m very used to muddy paws, zoomies, and the occasional dramatic diva dog 😂 I’m Canine First Aid trained ⛑️, DBS checked 🚓, fully insured, and hold a 4⭐ Home Boarding Licence with Derby City Council 🏡 Pet care is a huge part of my daily routine 🐾🩵 I offer dog boarding 💤, grooming 🐩✂️, drop-in visits 🏡, and dog walking 🥾 around Derby. I’ve cared for all sorts of animals over the years — from dogs and cats to horses 🐴, goats 🐐, pigs 🐷, and birds 🐦 - so I’m pretty used to muddy paws, big personalities, and lots of cuddles 😂💕 🏠 Dog Boarding: Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home 🐾💛 I have a secure fenced garden for playtime, plus access to large nearby fields for walks and adventures 🥾🌳. Dogs are only let off lead with owner permission and if they have good recall — otherwise, I also have a long training lead for safe exploring. I provide plenty of toys 🧸, blankets, treats 🦴, and cuddles, but owners are always welcome to bring their pet’s favourite things from home to help them feel comfortable and settled. Pets are welcome on the furniture too… because my own dogs are completely spoiled 😇🐶 🦮 Dog Walking & Drop-Ins: Whether it’s a quick toilet break, feeding time, playtime 🎾, or a longer adventure walk, I always make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I tailor walks and visits to suit each dog’s needs, energy levels, and routine, giving them lots of attention, enrichment, and affection along the way 🐕💕

About: Hi! My name is Tia, I’m a 22-year-old animal lover with a passion for caring for pets. I love feeding, walking, playing, and spending time with animals. I’m friendly, patient, and animals tend to trust me quickly. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and a DBS check as well as years of hands-on experience with pets, both through my studies and caring for my own family’s dogs. At my parents’ home, we have an energetic English Springer Spaniel named Nugget and a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lana, so I’m very used to different personalities and needs. I offer boarding, walking, sitting, day care, and drop-ins - all with the guarantee that your pets will feel safe, happy, and loved. Okay, here's that message expanded to 29 words: I'm currently working full-time, so my availability can vary quite a bit. Please reach out to me directly for my most up to date schedule! When pets are in my care, their safety and comfort always come first. In my home, I create a calm and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I keep spaces tidy and secure so they are safe at all times. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their normal routines closely, from feeding to playtime, so they feel settled and comfortable. I also make sure their environment is clean and safe, and I always give regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

My puppy Monty had the best time with Mikki and would love more walkies with her! Mikki is a natural with him and took a real interest in his routine and favourite things, after minutes of meeting I knew I could trust her to care for my fur-baby

Emily was lovely and was great with our young Labrador Freddie. He's very boisterous so I was a little worried about how it would go at first but there was no need to worry. Emily had a key to our home to come in and pick up Freddie and either walked him locally or took him to our local dog field in her car. Would highly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Derby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Derby on Rover is £13.8 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,511 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Derby. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Derby. 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 Derby.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 2,511 Walkers in Derby, 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.
