“Pablo has helped with our dog Percy a number of times. He has always been reliable and flexible even when we needed help in the last minute and Percy loves his walks with him. Thank you Pablo!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbours, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I’ve always enjoyed giving each dog the attention and comfort they need. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs who need a gentler pace. I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and part of the family while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime in the park, sticking to feeding routines, or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. I’m a student with classes only three days a week, so my schedule is really flexible. I have plenty of free time during the day and evenings to look after your pets, whether that’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight boarding. I enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they get enough play, care, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide a calm, secure space where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I never leave pets unsupervised for long and make sure doors and gates are always secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely, from walks to meals and send regular photo updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: I offer loving, reliable care tailored to each dog. Experienced with puppy training, routines, and gentle senior support — with patience, safety, and lots of cuddles. Pet care is built into my daily routine — walks, playtime, and check-ins are always a priority so every pup gets consistent love and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding, walks, play, medication, and comfort — while keeping their home tidy and secure so they feel safe in a familiar space.
About: I am currently enjoying studying an animal psychology course online called the trust technique. It teaches how to reduce over thinking in animals so that they can experience deep relaxation in your presence, finding peace and healing and increased ability to learn. I work from home and so am able to be with your pet and keep them company day and night. Please just let me know your requirements I am available to come to your home. Please inform me of your health and safety precautions and I will follow your instructions to keep your pet healthy and safe during my stay
About: I've spent the past three years caring for all kinds of pets, from energetic puppies to laid-back senior cats, and it's been a truly rewarding journey. Whether it's pet sitting or dog walking, I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and needs. I've become pretty skilled at recognizing what makes them happy and comfortable, whether that's a game of fetch, a leisurely stroll, or just some good belly rubs. One of the best parts of this job is the bonds I build with both the pets and their owners. It's a great feeling knowing that pets are excited to see me and that their owners have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every pet I look after. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, I'm here to help! Mornings start with cheerful greetings and energetic walks, setting a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I ensure pets receive timely meals, play sessions, and plenty of affection, all tailored to their unique personalities. Evenings are dedicated to winding down together, whether it's cuddling up indoors or enjoying a leisurely stroll before bedtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets in their own homes. I take extra care to ensure that their environment is secure and comfortable. This includes double-checking that doors and gates are properly closed and secure before any outdoor activities. Inside, I'm vigilant about removing any potential hazards like small objects or toxic plants that pets could accidentally ingest. I also maintain a routine of careful supervision during playtime and ensure that any medications or special instructions from pet owners are followed to the letter. By maintaining a safe and loving environment, I aim to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.
“She has done an incredible job gaining the trust and affection of our shy dog. We feel lucky to have her help. She's very considerate of what dogs need and knows how to adjust to make them comfortable.”
About: I’m absolutely obsessed with dogs and I’m always in their company. I also love filming pet-friendly videos with them, whether we’re messing around, dancing together, or just capturing those sweet, candid moments of them being their goofy selves. What I enjoy most is building a real, trusting bond with every dog I care for—talking to them like they’re part of the family, and treating each one exactly like my own pet from the moment you drop them off. There’s just something so special about the connection you form with dogs, and I feel so lucky to get to experience that with every furry friend I look after.thanks I was a digital made so I have loads of time align and I can keep the full-time care to the cast and dog. Also, I was very caring and I walk in media stuff so I can take loads of beautiful picture and I’m gonna upload loads of picture I wish the only gonna love it to be honest all all loves it and I love, shooting videos, wisdom I just love them I will always make sure they are safe and I think that’s very important. Normally, I just be with them all the time and make sure they’re happy and that’s my what I need to do and so don’t worry just have fun trip and just let me take care of them.
About: Hi, I’m Luis Andre. I’ve loved dogs for my whole life, and I’d be delighted to give your pup a warm, gentle and loving experience. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs and seniors. My first dog was Roly, a playful Beagle who was with me from the age of six. When he grew older, I dedicated myself to giving him the happiest and most comfortable final years possible. Later on, I helped care for Viena, a Golden Retriever from my partner, both as a puppy and again when she was four to five years old, for almost two years in total. What you can expect from me: ✔️ Individual attention so your dog always feels seen and cared for ✔️ Frequent updates with texts, photos and videos ✔️ Safe walks and fun playtime (if you and your pup are comfortable with it) ✔️ A calm, loving and reliable environment I bring the same care, patience and affection I gave to Roly and Viena to every dog I look after. Feel free to message me anytime. I’ll be happy to answer your questions and get to know your dog. 🐾 I am currently pursuing a full-time master’s at UCL. Although my studies are full-time, my schedule is quite flexible. I usually attend university from Monday to Thursday every two weeks, and when I’m not on campus, I spend my time at home reading and studying. Next year, my schedule will be even more flexible as I focus on my research, allowing me to be at home most of the time and dedicate plenty of attention to caring for your dogs. I currently live in a flat with three rooms, one of which is furnished, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. That said, I prefer caring for dogs in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain a clean and safe space, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.
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! I’m currently an postgraduate 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: Why have one sitter when you can have two!? We're a reliable, fun and outdoorsy couple who work from home 5 days a week, so your pet will always have company, care, and be entertained to their heart's content! We live with Xanthe’s mum in a bright, spacious home with an enclosed garden, close to four parks including Ally Pally 🦮 We've both grown up with animals but now, living in London and about to turn 30, Rover lets us spend time with animals while we’re not quite ready for our own <3 Doing Rover as a duo means double the time with added reassurance. As well as twice daily walks, we can bring your pet for shop runs and, if they like to hit up sunny parks and cafes at the weekend that can be arranged 😉 Each pet we’ve cared for has had their own personality and needs whether it’s extra walks, grooming, or calming nervous pups, we’ll make them our top priority during their stay and are great at understanding animals needs ❤️
“Matthew was great and reliable! He made sure to spend some time getting Bruno comfortable and familiarise with him during the first walk. Looking forward to more walks.”
“Elizabeth took Leila on Walks for almost 2 years. She was VERY flexible which was great for our crazy schedule. She was also willing to help out on extra days too. Highly recommended her to anyone.”
“Enrica was absolute Angel for our Fur Baby. Gigi took to her straight away feeling that she was in caring hands. Enrica is very thorough and timely. She answers messages promptly and is very attentive to Gigis special needs. We are so pleased to know Gigi was being well looked after; it gave us great peace of mind. I can highly recommend Enrica as a trustworthy pet career.”
“Simone is super communicative and reliable. She is also really good with Paolo who can get anxious and stressed on walks, and she calms him down so well. It's so great to see their bond form.”
“Megan was a lucky last minute find that saved me when I had to be away with work. She has been fantastic all the way through and Jackson absolutely loves her! She will be my 1st choice from now on!”
London dog owners share their Rover experiences
Sian was absolutely lovely and was great with our little ball of fluff! She was really communicative and clearly has looked after pets before! She was really confident with Ollie when she came by for a meet and greet and asked loads of questions/confirmed any instructions to ensure his safety and to get the most our of their waddles together! Strongly recommend!!
Kato had a wonderful walk with Joshua! He was very punctual when collecting and dropping Kato off which matters as I have online class. He was also very polite and understanding of Kato and his needs during a walk. I would definitely book Kato for a walk with him again and also recommend his services to anyone else looking for someone trustworthy to walk their pup :)
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.
Yael was wonderful walking Amy over the past few days! She was caring and thoughtful, and it was clear she paid close attention to Amy and her needs. Communication was easy and reliable, and we always felt informed and comfortable. We also really appreciated the long walks on Hampstead Heath, Amy clearly enjoyed them a lot😍 It was lovely to see how well Amy got along with Disco, Yael’s dog, which made the walks even nicer. It was a very positive experience, and we’d happily recommend Yael!
Hernan was very friendly and kind with us and with Kiki. As Kiki’s new and only been with us a short time she can be a bit nervous. She was a bit too shy to walk alone for the first time so Hernan and I went with Kiki together. We had a nice chat as we walked and Kiki got more comfortable and confident. Hernan also had some good tips about training and positive reinforcement. Thanks Hernan! ❤️
