About: Walking a few regulars but still open to new bookings. I grew up with medium to large dogs (German short-haired pointers, a Hungarian vizla) and have also had a Doberman, whippets and labradors in the family. I have experience training dogs (from house training to tricks) and working with senile / older dogs - including once carrying a lab mix weighing 35kg through Hyde Park. I am taking a sabbatical from my job from February so looking to spend lots of time outdoors. Until February I plan to work part time in the office so if I have a few days notice I can plan to work from home to look after your pet and go on plenty of walks. When looking after your dog they will be shown love and respect and have ability to roam around my flat. If you have particular house rules you follow, let me know when you book and I can match these. I don’t have a garden space but do have a terrace for dogs to go out on.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have six wonderful pups back home who I miss every single day while I’m away studying. Being a student without them isn’t easy, but BorrowMyDoggy has been such a lovely way to stay connected to the dog-filled life I love. I’ve used it to walk, play with, and care for all kinds of dogs, each one filling that dog-shaped space in my heart. From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve helped with everything from walks and cuddles to grooming, feeding, medication, and training. I treat every dog like they’re my own—because to me, they are, even if just for a little while. During the summer, I’m completely free and have plenty of time to care for and hang out with your pups! Once school starts, my schedule gets a bit busier, but I still make time for pet care during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or overnight stays, I do my best to stay flexible and available. I live in a cozy one-bedroom flat with lovely parks just steps away—perfect for daily walks and playtime. I welcome all fur babies on the couch and in bed for cuddles, just like my own. I keep a calm, safe environment and happily provide baths if needed. Whether it’s relaxing indoors or playing outside, your pup will feel loved, clean, and completely at home with me.

About: I have one dog and two cats, one is fifteen years old and I love them all so much. I have had quite a lot of experience with Rover for the past year, caring for both cats and dogs, and I really enjoy it☺️. I’m great at following instructions and happy to care for any type of animal, with any requirements. I have just finished medical school so I have plenty of free time at the moment:) ***DOGS need to be ok with being left alone around 5 hours three times a week since I have another part time job 🥺😅*** if that’s ok, this is for multiple day bookings At the moment any time is fine! Happy to stay over as well and house sit. Flexible schedule, weekends included. Trying increase my money savings 😅 Just let me know what instructions I must follow and it’ll be know problem, happy to play around, pet, groom, medications or anything your pet needs:)

About: Hi there! My name is Libby. I have had dogs, cats, birds, iguanas through out my life and even a pot bellied pet pig as a child! I love animals and spending time outside. I listen to owners needs and concerns, making sure to give plenty of time and attention to individual pets. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. With some notice in advance I will be able to help with walking, feeding, boarding and play time. I only take in one pet at a time for now, so no concern with getting along with any other animals. I have a very large fenced terrace and a short few minutes walk away from multiple parks.

About: Hi, I’m Yan Yi! I’ve got an 14 year old golden retriever at home in Singapore, and have been regularly walking dogs in London since I moved here for uni in 2022. I love walking around the city, but whenever I'm walking in a park, I always think to myself: this would be so much more fun with a dog. I'm fond of long walks, so if you've got an energetic pup that needs a lot of exercise to tire them out, I'm your girl! (Once I’m familiar with your dog, I’d be happy to keep them out and about for most of the day) I’m currently an undergraduate university student. I am willing to work around your preferred timings as much as necessary, and can take on last minute bookings as well. Outside of the parks, I will never walk your dog off-leash, and even then will only do so if I have met and spent enough time with your dog for mutual trust to exist. (And of course, only if I have your permission!)

About: Growing up surrounded by a loving community of dogs, I’ve always had a special bond with them. Whether it was looking after a neighbor’s furry friend during their vacation or taking them for walks, I cherished every moment. My year volunteering at a dog shelter in my home country deepened my understanding of both big and small dogs. I’ve learned how to cater to their unique needs with lots of affection and playtime. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me; it’s a passion, and I strive to make every dog feel as loved and cherished as they deserve. As a master's student, my schedule can be flexible, and I can adjust my pet care routine to fit around my academic commitments. During weekdays, I can provide care and attention to pets either in the mornings or evenings, depending on my class and study schedule. On weekends, I have more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime, walks, and additional care. When I walk dogs, I focus on creating a positive and engaging experience for them. I tailor each walk to their energy levels and preferences, whether they need a brisk exercise session or a leisurely stroll. I’m attentive to their behavior, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable throughout. During home visits, I provide personalized care by maintaining their routine and offering plenty of affection. I make sure they have fresh water, check in on their toys and bedding, and spend quality time playing and bonding.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in high school, walking, feeding and looking after my friends and family’s dogs. Most recently my partner’s family has relied on me to take care of their German Shepard while they are on holiday. I love taking walks with dogs, being attentive but also making them enjoy their outdoor time I work flexibly and go to the office once or twice a week. I work half days on Fridays and am usually very free during weekends. Taking many walks myself, I know well the area and how to spot routes that are most suited for dog walking. There is also a fenced communal garden in my building which is the perfect and secure location for play time outdoors.

About: I have owned my dog (Nala) for nearly 5 years and I take care of friends’ dogs regularly. I love dogs and I know what they need to be looked after and shown they are loved. I live in an apartment but we have a communal garden with lots of space and there are many dog parks nearby. There will always be filtered fresh water on hand for your dog and lots of endless cuddles and fun. I own a 5 year old female maltipoo (spayed) she is very friendly and provided your dog is okay with others, I would love to look after them for you! I am a university student so I can look after a dog anytime. I can do any week days and also weekends. I will ensure the dogs have lots of walking breaks. I have a communal garden outside with lots of space. At home the dogs can relax anywhere they like around the house and home. My housemate also loves dogs and lends a hand in providing cuddles
“Cara is absolutely amazing! She took care of my dogs as if they were her own and they really loved her! She was patient and willing to go above and beyond when I was scared one of my dogs was sick and she was overall just so great”


About: I have always been an dog lover ever since I was a kid. I grew up with a English Setter breed dog named Mia. I took care of her for 14 years and now I moved into London so she is back in Istanbul with my family now:) I love taking care of dogs as a passion. I am a student at the University of the arts London studying interior design and I have a bunch of free time to spend and I am willing to spend it with your friend! I used to walk my dogs on a leash and after a while walked them without a leash. I am an honest person that will pursue your dogs needs.

“Amedeo took care of my cat Zoe while I was on holidays. Couldn't be happier for finding such a caring and responsible professional. Great service and a great guy too. I would recommend Amedeo for your dog or cat in a heartbeat!”


About: My name is Alex and I grew up with multiple dogs and cats at home. I love animals, and I'm well prepared to care for both dogs and cats as, not only I have many years of pet sitting experience, but I also continuously educate myself by speaking with experts and reading books and articles about pet care and pet behaviour to better understand my furry friends. I have a flexible weekly schedule and often work from home, which allows me to be available for pick-ups, drop-ins, toilet breaks, walks and playtime. I don't have pets of my own, nor kids, so your pet will have my full attention. I have a back garden and a nice big park just across the road.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, whether it was my own or friends. I’ve raised two dogs myself so understand young puppies’ behaviour and as my own dogs aged I learned the needs of older dogs. It’s not possible to write down and explain how much I love dogs, but a part-time job where I get paid to smile from them being them seems pretty great to me. Current full-time masters student but I am relatively free for dog walking/ care throughout the week and weekends. Happy to coordinate a schedule as well if after the first session you and your dog like me I have a fenced in environment in my home and my building is dog friendly. In your own home I would respect your space by asking what your expectations are or of any structures you have in your own home.

About: Hi! I'm Maria! I'm a dog mama from Colombia, currently residing in West London. I have extensive experience, looking after pups of all ages and sizes, l'd love to help fellow dog owners as a dog sitter. Your pup's company would bring me immense joy too! With a flexible schedule, I can provide consistent attention, regular walks, and playtime throughout the day according to the owner's requirements. At the moment I am available for boarding, walks, drop ins and doggie companionship, and with more advance notice I can be available for boarding or repeat companionship if you don’t work at home or are going away for any reason, you can be sure that your pup will be well looked after in a happy home away from home ♥️ I live in an apartment with a secure garden, providing a safe space for outdoor pees and poops and a nearby park for a longer walk through the day. On pleasant days, I anlso enjoy taking the pups on longer walks, maybe to the nearby reservoirs (only with your blessing as I know some doggies are in different points of training such as walking off lead/on lead, recall, etc) Inside, I engage in playtime and companionship - l've been a great playmate for my own dog (he told me that himself!) Feeding is tailored to your preferences. Rest assured, your pup won't be anxiously waiting by the door with an empty stomach while in my care. I'm committed to making their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

About: I have been working with dogs for a long time now, providing Dog Boarding and Doggy Day Care services as well as Walks, Drop-In Visits, Grooming and Dog Training services. Dog Training and Grooming can be enquired about during Meet & Greets :) As a Rover Sitter I’ve had the pleasure of working with all sorts of dogs and have a vast knowledge in Dog Care. I always knew I wanted to spend my life working alongside animals, I started my career in animal care when volunteering at a wildlife park over the summers, and have worked as a Dog Grooming Assistant as well. I am certified in Animal Management and Professional Dog Grooming, and I have knowledge in first aid for animals and dog training. When you entrust your dog with me, I ensure that they receive more than enough play time, exercise, and attention. I take the dogs out for a few hours in the morning and evening, as well as for a smaller mid-day walk. During these walks, we go to the various parks in the area and the dogs explore different trails each time. Throughout the day, the dogs get to enjoy plenty of play time, snuggles and naps. I am very flexible with my schedule and am happy to take on regulars that may need weekly or daily dog care. Just let me know your needs and I can adjust to them. I live in a safe cul-de-sac away from the main roads. I have a fenced garden and live close to many parks and countryside lanes for long and engaging walks and adventures.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and often doggy sit for friends and family which is why I’ve joined Rover. They are a huge responsibility and I know that sometimes owners need help when they have other commitments going in their life so I’d love to help those out too. I currently work remotely on various days of the week so can be quite flexible when it comes to looking after dogs during the week. I can also offer overnight services during the week too. I love spending time with dogs so can sometimes make weekends work too as I love their company so happy to look after them overnight or during the day on weekends if you need me! I have an enclosed balcony at my flat, (fully enclosed) a park underneath my flat and also live very close to Clapham Common so perfect for taking them out for big walks during the day!

Natasha M.Star Sitter

Fangying M.
“It’s hard leaving my 9-year-old poodle, Belly, but Fangying was amazing. She was so gentle and thoughtful — took shorter, frequent walks, noticed all the little things, and sent tons of cute pics. Belly was clearly relaxed and happy. I’m so at it. Would definitely ask Fangying again.”


Valentina F.Star Sitter
“Valentina is a a caring and loving person who always puts others first, including pets. She is always ensuring cats are comfortable with her and are not in pain/discomfort. She has always noticed when something is off in an animal and seeks help, at the local vet immediately if so. She does not see caring for animals/others like a job, it’s truly a hobby for her and you can see the happiness and comfort it bring to her and the furry other.”


Chenyi Y.

“Joyce was a brilliant dog walker. Showed up on time and was very friendly. My dog came back happy and exhausted from his long walk!”


Libby K.
“Libby has looked after my little dog on so many occasions I've lost count. She's really great with them and super attentive to their needs. Often after a day with Libby my dog is exhausted from all the fun activities and games that they played in the day. I cannot speak high enough of Libby, if your want your dog to have a great time and know they are looked after. Look no further, Libby is worth every Pence!”

Djeren Ceren B.
“As a pet owner myself, I take great care in who to trust when I need to leave my pug in the hands of someone else. Personally, I’ve never had a doubt in leaving my pet to Ceren as she loves and cares about animals just as much as I do and tries her best in taking care of them. Along with taking my dog out to lengthy walks, she makes sures to play and make a connection with her. It’s no suprise my dog gets excited when she sees Ceren.”


Enrica L.Star Sitter
“Enrica is the biggest dog lover that exists. She took extremely great care of my dog, who is always excited to stay with her. I would definitely recommend Enrica to anyone, only downside is that your dog might not want to go back home with you”

“Ciara is the best and takes such good care of Gus! She was also able to stay longer when I was running late from an event. I appreciate her flexibility!”


Melissa L.

“I frequently leave my beautiful German Shepherd, Bhenji, with Melissa. Bhenji really looks forward to spending time at Melissa's who walks, feeds and cares for my pet while I'm at work. My pet also gets to meet other dogs while at Melissa's and learns to socialise with them. Bhenji has also stayed overnight at Melissa's, when I have to travel due to work. Melissa has my full trust concerning my pet's wellbeing, which gives me full peace of mind when leaving Bhenji in her care. I would recommend Melissa to all dog owners, as she is a very professional, and caring animal lover.”
