“Noura is awesome! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me while I am on bed rest. I booked Noura to walk my energetic Cavalier and my dog is SO excited every time Noura comes to the door! The walks are always on time and my dog comes home happy and tired. Noura’s communication is also fantastic—whether it's updates, photos, or just a quick note to let us know she’s heading over. Noura is highly reliable, friendly, and genuinely caring—if you're looking for a dog walker or sitter, look no further!”

About: I’ve loved animals all my life, I even had a rabbit and a pet rat growing up. Last year I travelled caring for dogs and cats across London and even Scotland. I truly connect with animals, and they give me a kind of joy nothing else does. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: big dogs, small dogs, seniors, rescues, confident or shy cats. I’m deeply observant and connect quickly with animals. I love long walks, runs, or simply relaxing at home with them. Every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt to whatever makes them feel safe and happy. I have a flexible schedule and can usually adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and overnight house sitting. I don’t offer boarding. I care for pets safely in their home, follow their routine and keep a calm environment. I communicate often and always send photos or videos so owners feel reassured.
“Florencia was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated throughout the entire walk, which really put my mind at ease. Kona is my world, and it’s not easy trusting someone new with him, but Florencia was very professional and reassuring. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: We love spending time with animals and have our own dog back home. We have been caring for pets since childhood so are experienced in taking very good care of them. We work from home, taking dogs out for regular walks throughout the day, adjusting for individual needs and fitness level. We are flexible and can accommodate to your preferred drop-off / pick-up time, and location. Our duplex flat is super comfortable for dogs, with plenty of space for them to run around, a balcony, cosy furniture to lie on, and next to beautiful green spaces. Your pet will come back relaxed and happy!
About: My name is Loic, and I am an experienced dog sitter and walker. I have been walking dogs and dog sitting on and off for about 7 years now. Throughout university and afterwards, I picked it up for some extra cash and to make new pet friends :). My passion for dogs began at a young age. My family was never allowed to have a pet in our rented flats, but we were able to take care of friends' pets. At a young age, I remember helping out with taking care of our neighbour's Australian Shepherd, a French bulldog, and a few more rambunctious pups. I am extremely active, disciplined, and will undoubtedly show your pet the most love you can imagine. I have experience working with dogs that may be a little more hesitant to approach me at first, being patient and providing a calming energy for them. I primarily work from home in public health. I am currently working for a South London-based charity supporting the voluntary sector. I currently work from home most days, and would love to be able to take care of your pet while I work. Taking them for long walks and enjoying the park is the perfect way for me to step away from my computer. Not only am I picking back up on Rover for extra cash, but I also need animal presence in my life! I work from home most days. My role doesn't require too much attention, so balancing it out with pet time is ideal. I ask for bookings a week in advance because there are some days that I need to be in the office t help out with events or meetings. I do have a lovely yard at our home, which I rent. I've had dogs over before, and they love the garden, although if I were to have animals over, it would need to only be for a short period of time.
“I would recommend Sofie. She was very patient with both dogs who were a little reticent as she was unfamiliar. On the second visit Pablo ran to her to be stroked. Sofie was very accepting of Pearl who is very nervous.”

“Catherine is excellent with our girl Nova! Nova is a big pup so she pulls a bit and Catherine has no issues with her at all. She always comes on time and gives her the full one hour walk”

“Julia is amazing. There’s a reason we’ve now had 10+ walks with her as she is responsive, on schedule, and very caring. Archibald loves her. Would highly recommend Julia for walking your dog!”

About: I have spent most of my dog sitting time with 3 dogs who range in age from 6 months to 4 years old. I have taken time off this year so I have spent extended amounts of time with them. I believe in getting to know their personalities and bonding with them on an individual level. This has been both in my flat and also at owners houses, as well as walks and trips to the dog park. At the moment I am available during the day, evenings, during the week and weekends. This may change once I am working depending on my schedule. While I can have dogs at my flat for a short period (up to a day), it's not suited to anything longer. I do not have a yard and am on the second floor. I am more than happy to look after dogs in their homes, as well as walk them.
“Biddy has been twice now with Daniele and has come back both times very happy and tired! She’s a high energy pup so am very pleased she’s getting the run around she needs. Daniele is very communicative and lovely! Highly recommend!”

“Alan was great with our 2 year old golden retriever. He took his time to develop a bond with our furry friend and after their walk we had a happy exercised dog. We look forward to working with Alan again very soon.”

“Definitely recommend! So friendly and you can tell she really cares about all the dogs that she interacts with! Noodle is always super super excited to see her which is always a good sign! I never have to worry about Noodle when they go for walks and it means he gets the additional exercise when I can’t! The communication is always prompt and I love receiving pictures of Noodle on his walk! Definitely recommend”

About: Hi my name is Maggie and I’m an experienced former foster carer :) while I no longer am able to do that kind of work, I miss having dogs around— they truly make everything so much better. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I promise to treat your dog like they’re my own, and care so deeply that they live happy and fulfilling lives :) I just graduated from my masters at LSE in December and am now engaged in full-time job searching! This makes my schedule super flexible, so I can adjust to your pet’s routine no problem. I have a small house with a very small garden, located seconds away from a dog friendly square in Islington. Comfortable with crating, or letting your dog roam free. I can promise your dog will definitely not lack for attention, care and love from someone who is really in tune with their wants and needs.
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter, having looked after dogs of all ages over the past decade. I currently live in a large flat with a garden, that is less than 10mins walk from several local parks. Please get in touch if you would like to make a booking or if you have any questions. I’m currently not working so I will always be around to walk, play, and relax with your doggy! I’m able to completely cater to your dog’s schedule. I live in a large basement & ground floor flat with a safe, enclosed garden so your dog will be able to go outside whenever they need to between walks. I have a room providing a dedicated, comfortable space for the dogs I look after to relax and play in. Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements and I will do my best to cater to them.
Islington dog owners share their Rover experiences
Diego was great with my frenchie Anderson. Anderson was immediately excited when they met and Diego was playing with him like they'd met 100 times before. Diego took him for a walk and Anderson came back content and tired, so top marks all round! Would definitely recommend Diego the dog whisperer to other pawrents! Thanks Diego! :)

Florencia was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated throughout the entire walk, which really put my mind at ease. Kona is my world, and it’s not easy trusting someone new with him, but Florencia was very professional and reassuring. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.

I'm always so happy for Danny to look after Indi whether it's a sleepover or a walk. I cant always plan walks - and sometimes i ask the day before, but Danny has always been responsive and flexible. There is no one i would trust more and feel more comfortable with walking and looking after Indi. Thank you Danny!!

Remi and Matas are who you want. You can tell they are attuned to dogs and motivated to get to know a dog, sensitive to mine who as a rescue is gentle but quite sensitive to her surroundings and being around strangers. They are also great communicators and accommodating. Lastly, their dog Loki is sweet, and my dog prefers company of another dog when at daycare. Very ideal for my dog. Highly recommend.
