“Finding someone who treats your dog with love and dedication is rare, which is why I'm thrilled to have found Freya who not only ensures my dog is happy but also goes on long walks to make sure she expends all her energy while I'm at work. It's a relief and a joy to know my furry friend is in such good hands.”

About: I have loved dogs ever since I can remember and have grown up taking care of them, including a diverse range of breeds. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter for neighbours in the past. I adore dogs and aim to give them the best experience as possible. I will care for them as if they are my own, giving them all the cuddles and walks a dog could dream of. I’m currently at home from university and so I have plenty of free time to care for your dog. I am available to walk your dog any days of the week and will give them plenty of cuddles and treats (only if their mom or dad allows it ofc!). There is also a large nature reserve two minutes away from which is the perfect place for your dog to sniff to their hearts content. I have a fenced garden for your dog to roam around in as well as a dog of my own to keep them company. His name is Louie (Lou Lou) — the most lovable dog you will meet. He is incredible sociable with other dogs but would also respects their space. He is only a young cockapoo! Our days are spent with lots of cuddles and belly rubs.
About: I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. Over the years, I've had a Siberian husky and two rescued mixed-breed dogs, each with their own personality and quirks. I currently have a young sprocker spaniel, full of energy and always up for a walk or a ball game, and an 8-year-old ginger cat who's calmer and loves sofa cuddles. I've also looked after friends' and family's pets over the years, which has given me a good sense of how different animals settle, what makes them anxious or relaxed, and how to adjust my approach depending on the pet in front of me rather than treating every visit the same way. My cat came to me as a rescue with a difficult history, and caring for him has been hard at times but has taught me a lot about patience, reading subtle signs of stress, and building trust slowly rather than rushing it. That experience carries over into medication care too. My cat has been medicated for anxiety for over two years now, and it initially took a trial of several medications to find what worked for him. I'm comfortable dispensing medication in the mouth by syringe or pill dispenser, or mixing medicine into food. So whether your pet just needs a walk and some company, or something more hands-on like a medication routine, I bring the same level of attention and care I give my own pets. Because I'm self-employed and work from home, I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of visit times. This means I can arrange walks, drop-ins, or check-ins around your working hours or specific daily routine, so your pet receives consistent care exactly when it's needed. I'm self-employed and work from home, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits most weekdays and weekends, and can accommodate specific timing needs, including multiple visits a day for medication and food schedules. During drop-ins and walks, I follow your instructions closely re: feeding times, walk length, routines, and any house rules we've discussed beforehand. Your preferences always come first, and I won't deviate from what you've asked for. I'm experienced with administering medication by syringe, pill, or mixed into food, so pets on a schedule are cared for exactly as you specify. I hold a high standard of cleaning, including tidying up any accidents or mess I find, and I always send photo updates throughout so you're kept informed.

About: I am an animal lover who is home all day in Witchford and who is able to provide a lot of love and attention to your pet. I looked after many pets on Rover when we lived in the USA and now I am starting again in England. I have a Boston Terrier called Poppy who I take out 2 times a day for walks already and who would love to make new friends and play. I grew up with dogs as a child in Sri Lanka, previously having a Dachshund and a Dalmatian. I like to train my puppy to sit, stay and come and to keep her clean with a bath once a week. My husband is also a dog lover who has had a Golden Retriever and a Jack Russel in the past and who will add extra love and car to your pet care experience! We have a 2 year old daughter who loves animals as well but we request that your pet also likes and is experienced with children. Poppy is also fine with cats and we have looked after cats before I am not working currently so can focus on your pet’s care. I am flexible in terms of drop off and pick up and I can walk the dog twice a day I have a big house with a fenced garden that your pet can run around and play in. Our village is very quiet and safe
About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and have always had a very special bond with them. My own dogs are currently in Ukraine, so I miss having dogs around me every day and would absolutely love the opportunity to spend more time with them here in the UK. I’m a very caring, responsible and attentive person, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable and loved. I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s individual routine, personality and needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding or simply keeping them company. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and follow any routines or instructions you already use at home. Most importantly, I will treat every dog with patience, kindness and respect, and make sure they receive the very best care while they’re with me. 🐾 I attend university twice a week for half-days and don’t have another job, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pets. I live with my partner, who is usually at work during the day, so I can give dogs my full attention and company. I’m close to beautiful parks, fields and popular dog-walking areas, and I’m happy to travel up to an hour by public transport when needed. I would love to make pet care a meaningful part of my everyday routine and give each dog plenty of walks, attention, playtime and affection. I grew up with dogs and was very involved in their everyday care. I regularly groomed them, followed feeding schedules, gave basic medication when needed and carefully looked after their health. One of my dogs had allergies, so I was responsible for choosing suitable food and making sure she was fed only at the right times. We spent lots of time outdoors, going on long walks and exploring together. I loved taking my dogs with me wherever possible, even when meeting friends for coffee, because they were a big part of my everyday life. I’ve always paid close attention to their behaviour and understand when a dog needs exercise, affection, space or simply a quiet, comfortable environment. My goal is always for every dog to feel safe, loved and genuinely cared 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 Forest Heath. 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 Forest Heath 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.
