About: I grew up with a large dog and since then have been taking care of friends’ dogs and dogs of all sizes from borrow my doggy and now Rover I only work part time as I’m studying for a Masters so I’m often at home and my schedule is flexible and easy to fit around a dog’s needs. I don’t have any pets of my own so can provide a calm environment for your pet. I’m happy to look after dogs in owner’s homes or at my flat which is spacious, however, doesn’t have a garden so I would provide regular toilet breaks and walks.

This was our first time using Larissa’s services, and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was absolutely fantastic with my dogs, Georgia and Brenda, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. From the start, Larissa was caring, reliable, and attentive, treating them as if they were her own. Both Georgia and Brenda clearly felt comfortable with her straight away, which says a lot. She is punctual, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Larissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely kind dog walker. She truly goes above and beyond!

About: After many years in the corporate world, I recently retired and decided it was finally time to do something I genuinely love, caring for dogs. Dogs have been a huge part of my life, at one point I had four of my own. Caring for them through every stage of life has given me extensive hands-on experience particularly with rescue and senior dogs who need extra patience, understanding and care. Although I am new to Rover, I have spent many years looking after friends' dogs while they travelled, I understand how important it is for owners knowing that dogs are safe, relaxed, cared for. Your dog will stay in a spacious four bedroom house with a large secure garden. Dogs are welcome throughout the house, this is very much a home from home environment with no restrictions on where they can relax or sleep. There are comfortable dog beds around the house, plenty of sofa options if they prefer or my own bed if they so wish. I am fortunate to have four parks within walking distance of my home but I also regularly drive to larger walking areas and country parks where there is more space, quieter routes and plenty of shade during warmer weather. The walks are always tailored to the individual dog I am caring for. The younger and energetic can enjoy adventure walks, while older or senior dogs are given a gentler pace with shorter but more frequent walk. This is not just a business venture for me, it's an opportunity to spend time doing something I really love, giving dogs a caring comfortable home and their owners complete peace of mind. i almost forgot, I am insured and DBS checked. I am at home full time so fully adaptable to your dog's routine. I do have my own dog, she gets two walks a day. The boarded dog would have a minimum of two walk as well, more if needed. 4 bedroom house in Brockley with large secure garden. Many parks all around me. I very often head off to Kent for adventure and beach walks.

About: I’ve had dogs since the age of 7 and am now the proud mum of two cats! I truly love cats and dogs like family! I’m a teacher who loves animals. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats. I’m available for drop ins or walks at weekends. From Monday 13th July I’m on summer holidays so can be available during the week too for your summer holidays. The most important thing to me is listening to the owner when they tell me about their pets needs. Their favourite walk, toy or treat can all help me to get to know their pet and ensure they are comfortable and content!

About: This year I looked after a lot of pets, both cats and dogs around London, Bristol and Cornwall . I enjoyed this experience tremendously and I also learned a lot about behavior of the animals both cats and dogs. I was a cat owner some years ago and I realised how much I missed interacting with animals. I also regularly cat sit my friend's cats when she is away. I would be delighted to look after your pet while you are away and also take your dog for a regular walks. I am working part-time as a tutor in a University. I am also an artist and often have flexibility with my work. I really like animals and it's a very joyful experience to look after a dog or a cat. I would take the instructions from the pet owner and do exactly what they normally would do with their cat or a dog. I will also try my best to be sensitive and attentive to the pet.

Adrian is an outstanding recurring dog walker for our large puppy. Renn can be quite strong and excitable, but Adrian handles him with calm confidence and real skill. He’s always punctual and completely reliable, which gives us great peace of mind. Communication is excellent—Adrian keeps us updated, lets us know how each walk goes, and is quick to respond to any messages. It’s clear he genuinely understands dogs and adapts his approach to suit their needs. Renn absolutely loves his walks with Adrian, and we’ve noticed a positive difference in his behaviour, confidence and energy levels. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, capable, and professional dog walker.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. My very first dog joined our family when I was 8 years old in Spain and she became like a sister to me, being a single child myself. We spent 14 wonderful years together. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs in both London and Brighton, looking after friends’ pets ranging from small to medium breeds such as greyhounds, whippets, Brussels griffons, lurchers, and more. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need patience and playtime, as well as older dogs who may require gentler handling or extra care. Because of my personal and hands-on experience, I know how important it is to provide affection, consistency, and a safe environment that makes each dog feel secure and loved. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every dog as if they were my own giving them not just the basics of feeding and walking, but also companionship and care tailored to their needs. I am an academic and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your dog during the week. From Monday to Friday, I can adapt walks, play, and feeding times around your pet’s routine. The only exceptions are when I need to travel for work or visit family in Spain for holidays. We live in a comfortable two-bedroom flat with a spacious living room and a balcony. Our home provides a safe environment for pets to feel at ease. Just a short walk away are lovely green spaces such as Hilly Fields, Brockley Cemetery, and Ladywell Fields perfect for long walks and some outdoor playtime. I take safety and trust seriously: I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep to your dog’s routine, and send regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is to create a warm, secure, and caring environment where your dog feels happy and loved.

We’re so pleased to have found Steve on Rover to take Bryn for walks. From the outset, Steve has been extremely responsive and took time out of his weekend to have a proper chat with us to understand Bryn’s needs. He then took that information on board to design a perfect walking environment with Bryn, making sure that he has time to run freely and to play with sticks and balls (his favourite!). We could see how much Bryn clearly already loves Steve given his enthusiastic greeting when Steve arrived for the second walk! Would 100pc recommend Steve to anyone!

About: Have taken care of pets all my life. Have had cats, dogs, chickens, horses and more! I love them all equally, and never tire of caring for lovable pets. Work a standard 9-5 weekdays but am very free evenings and weekend. Have lots of holidays throughout the year as I work in education, so odds are I can workout availability to suit your needs. I have a fenced garden & second-floor balcony, and a safe indoors environment for any pet to safely let loose and/or relax and enjoy some pampering.

About: Experienced with small, big , puppies and elderly dogs . Of all personalties . Experienced and confident with anxious animals with an understanding for their needs and patience with all personalities. Since I was a little girl I have loved animals , I have been lucky to raise and train my own dog from puppy to fully grown . I currently live with two beautiful cats so Am lucky to be surrounded by furry friends. I have looked after animals for many years , simply because I love them and animal welfare is so important to me , it brings me peace of mind when I know they are in safe hands I also come from a scientific background so have good knowledge and a personal interest in animal behaviour and psychology and believe it’s something paramount to optimal wellbeing of our animal friends. I love being outdoors and taking dogs on long walks , equally I am happy to cuddle or play with them at home. So long as the little one is happy I am happy and finally working with animals is not a chore nor does it feel like work , I enjoy it I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting on a full-time basis. This allows me to dedicate consistent, one-to-one time and attention to the animals in my care, rather than splitting my focus. My routine is structured around fitness, which means I naturally maintain a disciplined and active lifestyle. On the days I am caring for pets, I am able to prioritise their needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being present to ensure they feel calm and secure. I live close to two large, safe parks which are ideal for dog walking, enrichment, and exercise. I also have access to a private back garden for additional outdoor time in a secure environment. Overall, I am able to offer a high level of availability, consistency, and attention, ensuring your pet is never left feeling unattended or unsettled. Providing a safe, calm, and secure environment is my top priority when caring for any animal whether in my home or in an owner’s home. My home is very pet-friendly, with no carpets and a layout that allows for easy cleaning and hygiene. There are secure doors and the ability to section off areas if needed, which is particularly useful for introducing animals gradually or keeping them separated for comfort and safety. I live with two friendly cats, and I have extensive experience managing multi-animal environments. However, I fully understand that not all animals are comfortable around others, so I am completely happy and confident separating pets. The house is set up with both upstairs and downstairs spaces, making it easy to keep animals apart in a calm and controlled way if required. There are no children in the home just myself and 2 other female house members who are all animal lovers. During the day, it is usually just me at home, though occasionally house members may be working quietly in separate rooms. The environment remains calm, predictable, and low-stress. Alongside my hands on experience, I have spent time independently learning about animal welfare, behaviour, and safety. I am confident in recognising signs of stress or discomfort and always aim to create an environment where animals feel secure and understood. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will fully respect your space and follow your routines closely to maintain familiarity for your pet. I understand how important consistency is, and I will ensure their usual feeding, walking, and care routines are followed as closely as possible. Most importantly, I prioritise your preferences as an owner. I am always open to guidance and happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and any training approaches you would like maintained. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for safely, thoughtfully, and with genuine attention.

Another fantastic experience with Michael! This is a repeat booking, and I am just as impressed as I was the first time. He came to my rescue at the very last minute, was incredibly accommodating, and made everything so easy. Having someone so reliable and flexible is an enormous help and an absolute pleasure. What has amazed me most is the bond he has built with Monty in such a short space of time. Michael shared videos of their walks, and I was genuinely gobsmacked to see how engaged Monty was. By day two, his recall was down to a T, he was happily playing ball, following instructions, and clearly focused on Michael. Given that Monty is still young and can occasionally get distracted, this was particularly impressive. Michael has a wonderful way with dogs. Monty absolutely loves him, and it is obvious that the feeling is mutual. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will certainly continue booking him whenever I can!

Roan has taken my lively Golden Retriever, Koko, on two walks, and as it was our first time using a dog walker, I expected Koko might need a little coaxing to head out with someone new. That absolutely wasn’t the case with Roan! From the moment he walked through the door, Koko was so excited to meet him. He is clearly a natural with dogs, and Koko warmed to him immediately and happily headed off on her walk. Roan was attentive, responsive, and quick to reply to messages. When collecting Koko, he took the time to ask how long we wanted her walked for and was very mindful of the recent heat wave. On her second walk, he adjusted accordingly and took her on a slower walk around the block in the shade, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Roan to anyone looking for a dog walker and will absolutely be using his services again in the future.
