“She did a great Job. Came to meet our dog before hand to help get her used to a dog walker as it was the first time we have left her with a walker and on the day though our dog was barky and a bit nervous she was very good with her. Kept us updates with messages and some pictures and most importantly our dog was safe and got her walk. Cant recommend Chloe any more!”
“Alex walked our 6yr old husky for an hour along with her own dog, Tally. Alex is clearly experience around dogs which shows in how well behaved her own dog is. She asked all the right questions to ensure the walk would be enjoyable for all three of them and Loki certainly looked like he had enjoyed himself when he came back. Will definitely be using Alex again, particularly the doggy day care where he will be able to run round with his new friend.”
About: I'm experienced in caring for both cats and dogs, and especially passionate about giving excellent care to older and/or medically complex pets. I love the wide variety in cat behaviour, whether they are happiest just existing in the same room, or sitting on my lap, I am always happy to take care of them. While I love all types of dogs, I'm best suited to dogs with less intensive exercise needs, such as smaller breeds or elder dogs. I also have experience taking care of reactive dogs. For drop-ins and dog walks, I may be able to offer a discounted rate in the LA1 3 and LA1 4 areas. As Rover does not allow me to set holiday pricing outside of bank holidays, I may need to manually apply a price increase of £10 a day for housesits during more high-demand periods, such as school holidays. I am sometimes able to offer discounted rates for customers in financial hardship requiring pet care due to an emergency. My first proper petsitting experience was taking care of my neighbour's cat when they went on holiday. Even once her owners were back from holiday, we got into a routine where she would wait on the front doorstep every day for me to give her chin scritches. My interest in taking care of medically complex pets comes from personal experience, as my family dog suffered a spinal cord injury a few years ago. Luckily, after excellent vet care, he has an excellent quality of life and is very happy, just with shorter walks than before and regular pain-management medication. I'm very happy to take care of pets that need a little extra attention and support, whether that is with medication, toileting, pain management, reactivity, anxiety, and anything else your pet needs support with. If your pets are used to having people around most of the day, I recommend house sitting, as this guarantees your pet will receive love and care whenever they need it. I'll probably ask a lot of questions just to make sure their is minimal disruption to your pets regular lifestyle, and will of course send plenty of updates and photos while taking care of them. I primarily work as a petsitter, alongside occasional knit and crochet commissions. This gives me full flexibility to work within your pets' usual routine, and dedicate as much time as they need to be happy, healthy and comfortable. I will care for your pets as you do! I trust that you know what is best for your pet, and will always to my best to minimise any disruption to their usual routine and lifestyle. I understand that some pets can find it stressful to be taken care of by a new person, so am always happy to do home visits ahead of your trip to make sure your pet knows and likes me - or at least, accepts my presence. I am also insured as a petsitter and dog walker, should any incidents occur. For safety reasons, I prefer to provide my own lead for walks - I will bring this along to a meet and greet so that we can check it's comfortable for your dog. If your dog (or cat!) has a usual walk route, I always appreciate it you can map it out for me.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child. I have always had multiple pets. I am an ex police officer, so you know you can trust me in your home. I’m confident, friendly and reliable. I am extremely flexible and willing to change my day around to meet the needs of you and your pet. Any questions/requests just ask me! I am confident with animals and very trustworthy. I intend on keeping the owner updated with pictures and discussions about their pets throughout my visit
“Elle is marvellous! So reliable, conscientious and caring! I am so happy with how well cared my dog has been by Elle, I simply cannot recommend her enough. I have one very happy dog who has had an enjoyable week of being walked. I wasn't worried at all whilst I was away, thank you Elle!! 🤗”
“Kate was super helpful with a last minute booking when we needed someone to walk our dog on short notice. Reliable, friendly, great communication! We'll definitely ask her for help again!”
About: I’m an eager animal lover, who’s been dog sitting friend’s and family’s pets for years now, and would love to look after and care for your pet! Please get in touch! As a student my schedule is almost completely flexible! I’ll be happy to take a break from studying to care for your pet most days a week. I know safety is a priority, so I always keep a very close eye on pets while at your home- and keep doors and gates closed. I’m happy to accommodate any extra requirements your pet may need!
About: I’m Thea - I grew up on an animal sanctuary in Portugal (yes really!) and love dogs and cats dearly. I don’t have any pets at the moment myself, but I grew up with over 20 cats and 5 dogs… so I know them and their body language very well. I’m also very gentle, calm and patient and have experience giving medication etc - so I’m also confident to look after animals that might need a bit of extra time and care (please scroll my photos to see many cute animals cuddling me!) I work from home and love spending time with animals, so I am flexible with the hours I’m able to do with my sitting. I do have a soft spot for slightly chubby or old animals… 🫣 If animals want some extra fuss and cuddles, I can also bring my partner Annabel (also in the photos) who is a massive animal lover and very gentle. (If you have a nervous dog or cat who prefers one person I obviously wouldn’t do that!) Feel free to ask me any questions! Hopefully I’ll be looking after your pet soon 🐱 🐶 I work from home in social media - so I am very flexible in terms of the timings I can do to look after your pets. I’ve been around a lot of dogs and cats for most of my life - so I can read their body language well and know when they might want a bit of space, or when they want some attention and pets.
About: I grew up with two family dogs who lived to 10 and 12 years old, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and giving dogs attention and companionship. I’ve also helped care for my uncle’s dogs, and he has shared many useful puppy training tips and experiences with me. Through that, I’ve learned more about routines, patience, positive reinforcement. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and I’m always willing to learn each owner’s preferences and follow their instructions carefully to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. Schedule: My schedule is currently flexible because I’m studying programming from home while job searching. I’m generally more available during the daytime and enjoy spending time caring for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping them company. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s preferred routine and care instructions. At the moment, I’m unable to host pets in my home due to rental restrictions, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Safety, trust & environment: I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, and careful to follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special care needs. At the moment, I’m unable to host pets in my home due to rental restrictions, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Jess has been an absolute godsend. Our dog absolutely adores her and she has made my transition back to work and leaving the dog at home a much smoother process. I highly recommend Jess to anyone once she comes back from a much needed summer break”
About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for my family dog, a 7-year-old Pomeranian–Shiba Inu mix weighing around 6 kg. He is energetic and friendly with other dogs, so I am comfortable supervising walks, playtime and social interaction. Since moving to the UK, I have really missed spending time with my dog in Hong Kong. This encouraged me to join this platform so I can continue caring for dogs and provide them with safe, attentive and affectionate companionship. I usually walk him for around 30 minutes in the morning or afternoon and another 90 minutes in the evening. I manage his feeding routine, clean his paws after every walk, bathe and brush him regularly, and brush his teeth weekly. I have also given him deworming treatment and medication for ear irritation. After his neutering surgery, I cared for him during his recovery and monitored his energy levels and behaviour closely. During walks, I remain calm, maintain a steady pace and keep the lead controlled rather than encouraging pulling or running. I am reliable, patient and happy to follow each owner’s feeding, walking and care instructions carefully. I can provide regular photo and message updates. I currently offer dog walking and care at the owner’s home. In an emergency, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary assistance when necessary. I am available every day from July to September, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime and attentive care. From late September, my availability will depend on my university timetable, but I will regularly update my schedule and communicate clearly with owners before accepting bookings. As my accommodation does not allow pets, I only provide dog walking and drop-in care at the owner’s home. I will follow all feeding, walking, medication and household instructions carefully, keep doors secure and make sure your dog is comfortable and safe. I can also send regular photo and message updates, and I will contact the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual.
About: I’ve fed, taken care of and played with dogs and cats for family members, friends and neighbours multiple times in the past whilst they were working or on holiday. I also have experience working at a vets as well as on a farm and I am certified to give cpr to a dog. I am currently searching for a job meaning that any time that is not spent searching for a job will be spent caring for pets. I feed, interact with, and try my best to make the pet feel comfortable to have me in the house. I see it as intruding in their space and I should respect the pet in the house as I would a person. I make the pet comfortable, then feed, let out, and play with the pet if needed.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Lancaster
Chloe is always great and patient with our Dog Robin. Unfortunately Robin does bark when she comes round and wants to defend the house but Chloe is so patient with her and take her time before heading out on the walk. She is out Go to Dog Sitter. And couldn't recommend her any more.
Elle accepted our Doberman puppy for a walk at last minute and we couldn’t be happier with how smoothly the process was! We were updated throughout with pictures and kept in touch about anything we needed to know. Would 100 percent recommend Elle to anyone else and will definitely be using her services again :) Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lancaster on Rover is £16 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £0 and £22 per walk.
Walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 529 Walkers on Rover offering Dog Walking across the city of Lancaster. About 81% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 Lancaster. 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 Lancaster 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.
