“Geraldine has looked after Freddie a few times and has done a great job caring for him. She makes sure he has a nice walk and will settle him in at home after. I really appreciate it!”
About: Hello! I’m Lucy, and I’m truly passionate about caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my own little terrier, Maya, from puppyhood through to senior years; I know just how much love, patience, and understanding this entails. I also volunteer with Underdog International, a fantastic dog charity in my spare time. Through this, and my own experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs - young and old, anxious and outgoing, energetic and laid-back. I’m confident in all aspects of care, from walking and feeding to bathing, playtime and administering medication if needed. If your pet has specific needs, just let me know when you book as I’m always happy to accommodate. I currently work from home alongside my partner, Oli, from Monday-Friday. We’re both civil servants with flexible schedules, so between us, your dog with have plenty of company and opportunities for walks and play. We’ve recently returned from travelling in South America where we befriended many stray dogs and found ourselves missing their company ever since! Our home: we live in a spacious two bed flat in Hackney Central, with no pets of our own at the moment and no children. There’s access to a shared garden and we’re just an 8 minute walk from London Fields. The bottom line is that your dog’s wellbeing and safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, supportive and secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I’m always happy to accommodate special routines, dietary needs or quirks to ensure your dog feels comfortable and safe.
About: I've been caring for my pets and those of my family for a long time. I really enjoy their company, and they truly help calm my anxiety and make me feel much better. That's why I always give them all my love, respect, and attention. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexible availability, and I’d love to spend my time off caring for lots of lovely pups and cats! :) I live with a friend in a peaceful, spacious flat. Our neighbors are calm and friendly. I really enjoy walks and the outdoors, so with proper care, I can help pets enjoy some green time in the nearby parks.
About: Hi there! My name is Carlos and I am an enthusiastic Biologist coming from Spain. I am currently working part time which gives me the opportunity to do what I love the most: taking care of animals, especially dogs. I often pet sit for friends and family including a very anxious little dog who has actually been prescribed anti-anxiety pills and a very energetic Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I also regularly cat sit a very loving cat called George who has very special dietry requirements. I was raised with both a cat and a dog growing up and everyone in my family has always had pets so I have never not been around them. I am currently working part time so I have 4 free days a week including weekends which I can choose and change for your convenience :) I live in Hackney, super close to lots of outside spaces like Hackney Downs and London Fields. You dog will be safe with me and I am sure we will have a lot of fun together! Please do not hesitate to message me your questions :)
About: I've been looking after dogs almost my whole life. I really love spending time surrounded by dogs, it's the best part of the day and it's my passion. Also I've been volunteering in a dog shelter for 2 years looking after 13 dogs. I'm currently working full-time 4 days on and 4 days off. With these schedules I have enough free time to spend with doggies. On my days off I'm available for dog walks near my area and also I'm usually free in the afternoon. I can look after your dog at your home if we planning this in advance. For now I'm not able to have dogs in my own house.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes - both in raising them and in pet sitting. I have also had a cat for the last 4 years and have experience cat sitting too! I have also grown up looking after birds, hamsters, fish and chinchillas I am currently working an extremely flexible schedule and can be very flexible in that matter. I work freelance and wfh. I have plenty of time in my schedule. I can care for pets in their house - on exception at my house. I am happy for boarding or just visits. I have dealt with special needs care too.
About: We are Kristy and Duncan (both 35) and have had pets in our lives since we were kids. Pet care naturally fits into our lifestyle—we’re both animal lovers and enjoy spending time outdoors, especially since we live right next to London Fields and close to Victoria Park. One of us has a flexible schedule and often works from home, while the other works nearby, so we’re usually around to give pets regular attention, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. We plan our routines around the pets we’re looking after, making sure they get the care, play, and company they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, feeding routines, or just being around for cuddles, we always aim to create a calm, happy environment that fits your pet’s needs. We focus on making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At our flat, pets have a cozy, calm environment just seconds from London Fields—perfect for regular outdoor time and gentle strolls. We keep things clean, pet-friendly, and stick as closely as possible to their usual routines. We always make sure they’re well looked after, and we send regular updates so you know how they’re doing. Ultimately, we try to treat every pet like our own—with care, patience, and plenty of affection.
About: I’ve pets all my life, dogs when I was a kid and cats when I was teenager. During the pandemia I spent 7 months in Spain in a country house and animal cats started to come to our place for food. We fed them, take care of them for those months and found family for them. My sister has a dog, Lua and my partner’s family has a dog Buddy and we love to spend time with them. I love animals unfortunately we travel a lot so we can’t have our own pet in London. I run my own company so I can work around my own schedule and take care of pets when they need to go out for a walk. I don’t have a crate at home so the pet will be free in my flat and I don’t like pets in cages I like them to feel free like at home
“Alexandra is a great walker, and we have already booked her several times now. She is very patient with our Lecha, who judging by the photos may have enjoyed the walks with her more than with us! She is prompt and on spot with communications. Will definitely book again!”

“Natasha has been absolutely fantastic! She's been walking Charlie for a few weeks now and has been very patient with him, particularly when he gets too excited. She keeps us updated with his walks and makes sure he's settled with a treat before she leaves. We're so relieved we've found Natasha and would thoroughly recommend her.”

“I’m so happy with Matas and Remi walking Vincent. This was the first time we handed over our 40kg rescue dog to a dog walker. Vincent felt at ease, and Matas handled his hour-long walks with great competence.”

About: I’ve cared for so many dogs over the years, whether it’s a Labrador, blue heeler, chihuahua, cockapoo, cocker spaniel, jack Russell, cavalier King Charles - I have a wide range of experience with dogs of all ages and temperament. I also have experience looking after rescues, so understand how to adapt to a dog that may have a more delicate predisposition. I’m very good at sensing what a dog needs exactly when they need it. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic grooming and of course giving lots of attention and affection! Obviously everyone on here loves dogs, but I have a talent for getting the most out of a dog’s individual personality which makes them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I have a genuine love for spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I promise you won’t be disappointed! I’m starting to focus on my jewellery design practice part-time so will have plenty of time with a very flexible schedule to look after your dog. The kind of work I do makes it easy to move things around to facilitate bookings. I’m available most weekends too - depending on bookings. I’m looking for this to be something consistent for both of us, so I can work with each Clients individual needs as they arise to make sure I’m providing the most efficient service possible. I have a fenced courtyard but also live right by Well St. Common and Victoria Park so it’s very easy to get the dogs out into nature. I also have Stella, who is a gorgeous Jack Russell Chihuahua! She’s a senior but is very much full of energy and would love another dog to play and run around the park with. I care for dogs by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. This includes scheduled feedings, regular walks, and playtime. I of course make sure dogs have fresh water, a clean space, and appropriate exercise based on their age and energy level. When caring for dogs in an owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully. My priority is always safety, comfort, and keeping dogs happy.
“Anita is truly the best. Joan very quickly trusted her and by the second walk they were buddies. She is a great communicator, and so kind to both Joan and I. We feel so lucky to have met her!”

About: I’ve recently returned to doggie day care having time in my diary as I freelance. Frantic week ahead? Can't escape the office? Don't want to leave your best doggie friend alone? Hi, I'm Louise, I live in Dalston East London with my partner. I love surrounding myself with great friends, family and new people, and have a big passion with caring for dogs. I love spending time with dogs, they always bring the feel good factor and a lot of fun to the day! I'm happy to walk as much as you need or pop in to care and feed while you are at work, and also happy to travel further a field than Dalston - just drop me a line and we can make it work! I have lovely parks near by where I can walk your dog, we can chill, have a coffee, watch the world go and take a quick run around the park and generally amuse ourselves or maybe meet some other doggie friends on our travels. I look after friends dogs when they are away, grew up with a Schnauzer (plus my family abroad have them) so have always been around animals. I'm happy looking after all dogs, big, small and different personalities. According to the National Office of Animal Health, daily exercise is essential to keep dogs healthy, as well as mentally and physically stimulated. Exercise not only improves your dog’s wellbeing, but also helps build muscle tone and prevents depression, obesity, joint problems, heart conditions and behavioural issues. I'm a fun caring person with a great sense of humour and happy to answer any queries you may have prior to booking! Thanks! Lou I freelance from home so have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule! Routine wise, happy to get up early mornings, and love walking. I have a private fenced / high walled secure outside area that can be used and plenty of parks near by to go dog walking.
Hackney dog owners share their Rover experiences
Amy has been amazing throughout the whole process, from booking requests and initial conversations to updates during the walks! She gave me reassurance on how my dog’s time been with her, and it’s no doubt that Marley enjoyed his time with her! Her positive energy and communication made it so easy for us even though it was our first time using this service. Thank you!

Natalia is five star quality. I left her with my pooch of 3 yr's Olive and they immediately connected. Natalia took great care in getting to know us first and continued to provide consistent updates throughout the dog walk. I 100% recommend Natalia with your fury loved ones 💚
