“Emma is a wonderful dog walker! She took our Labrador, Ringo, out for a lovely walk, keeping him in the shade and ensuring he had plenty of water on a hot day. We are so glad to have found Emma and can highly recommend!”
“Louise took our 40kg Golden Retriever (Steve) for daily walks when I was away for a week and I highly recommend her to others. Louise organised a meet and greet a couple of days before her first walk with Steve and any concerns I had about having a new person walk our rather large dog faded away. She took the time to bond with Steve and she’s very friendly to people too! She kept us updated on how Steve’s walks went and I’ll be requesting her services again.”
About: I have rescued a Dog (staffy) in the past, as well as been housesitting/petsitting a dog and two cats for a family for 5 years whenever they go on holidays or short trips away. I have also worked in a butterfly house at the Hamptoncourt flower show where I would take care of butterflies from the Pupa stage to Adult. So I have experience with a wide range of animals. And can look after a few at a time. My job requires me to have seasons off at a time so more often than not I am available all hours of the day for long periods. My home is quite large and I have a spacious high fenced garden and two huge parks within 4min walking distance on either side of where I live. When housesitting I can adapt to the schedule and information provided whilst happily tending to any other minor tasks such as watering plants etc.
“Marina walked out two year old whippet Sonny for about a week while we were away. Sonny can be a bit nervous around new people, but he really took to Marina, it was obviously he really liked her. She took such good care of him while we were gone, we would definitely like book with Marina in future! 🐕”
“Dan had been very carrying and good dog walker for our dog Pucio for almost three months. Pucio clearly likes him a lot. Sadly for us he had to terminate engagement with us due to his new job obligations. Thank you Dan and all the very best for your future endeavours.”
“Kate was absolutely brilliant. She took the time to meet Dasha before her walk. She was very professional, quick to respond and booked us in at short notice. Very happy doggy and mum. Would reccomend highly.”
About: I have years of experience looking after both cats and dogs. I grew up with 2 cats from a very young age, which also means I have experience looking after more senior animals. I'm very used to their needs and preferences, and love their company. My parents have also had a dog for 7 years now, so I have lots of experience looking after him whilst they are away and really enjoy taking him on long walks around the local area. I currently work from home 2 days a week (usually Tuesdays and Fridays) , so I'm able to pet-sit or board on the days that I’m at home. I will keep my calendar up to date to reflect the days when I’m working from home. My flat has a fenced garden, so I am able to offer pets regular toilet breaks and room to run around. I also live a 5 minute walk away from the park. I enjoy spending my lunch break out walking, so dog walking would be very easy to fit into my routine. I am very happy to drop in or work from your home to look after your pets, and will always make sure they have toys nearby, regular potty breaks, and most importantly that they receive lots of cuddles.
“Sarah came and met Millie twice before then walking Millie 3 consecutive days for me. We agreed that Millie was best having street walks. I was able to see where Millie was taken and had photo updates. There was v good communication between Sarah and I. She is v trustworthy and I would recommend. I will use her again”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and absolutely love having them around. I miss my family dog, who lives in Kent, so would love the chance to hang out with another dog. I know lots of great walks in the area and am super flexible with dates for looking after your best pal. Been using Borrow my Doggy to build up some clients, fairly new to Rover so have lowered my prices to help get started! I currently work from home 3 or 2 days a week and am flexible on weekends with enough notice. I have communal outdoor space at my flat and am happy to host here or at your house, whatever is easiest. I’m also happy to do morning and evening walks before/after work. Can easily host a dog for a day in my flat, communal outdoor space and lots of parks nearby. Equally happy to work remotely from your house if easier.
About: Hi there, my name is Marcella and I’m based in Lewisham looking for some furry friends to keep me company throughout the week. I’ve grown up in a household with dogs and when I moved out I decided to get a fur baby of my own. Therefore I have experience from potty training for puppies to caring for older pets as well. I can guarantee that your pet will be well looked after and safe while at my place. I am fully work from home based Monday to Friday which gives me lots of flexibility and time to look after your pet and give it the attention it needs. I would also be available occasionally on weekends, just pop me a quick message to check my calendar :) I live in a spacious apartment with a big balcony giving your pet the space it needs indoor and outdoor. I am also close to hilly fields park which is perfect for walks
