About: I’m a freelance musician and animal lover! I’m dog and cat obsessed and take any chance I can to pet a furry friend :) I have two bengal cats back at my family home that I go visit whenever I can, but when I’m here in London, I miss them more than anything! 🥲 I would love to look after your pet and give them loads of cuddles, care and attention, and treat them just like my own two. I mostly work from home so my timetable is pretty flexible, which means I can usually schedule my day around your pet’s needs and their normal timetable! I’m extremely neat and tidy and will always treat your home with care and respect. Always happy to clean up any pet mess, so you don’t have to worry when you go away.
About: I had a dog for 11 years growing up - taking care of her from when she was a puppy until she was a senior dog. I have lots of experience caring for smaller dogs at any age! I also have experience taking care of partially sighted dogs. I am aware of the impact on their depth perception and being careful of their blind spots. I work from home most days, so have lots of time to look after your dog, or take them out for a walk. We also live in close proximity to several parks. I will always supervise dogs when outside in the garden especially and be vigilant on walks. During periods of warmer weather, I have a cooling mat, cooling bibs and even a dog paddling pool, which I can bring along to keep your pup cool!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older dogs needing a gentler routine. I’ve always had dogs growing up, so being around them comes very naturally to me and I’m very comfortable understanding their behaviour and needs. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe and happy while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos, because I know how important it is to stay connected to your pet while you’re away. I always adapt to each dog and what they’re used to, so they feel as comfortable as possible. When I’m in a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine, feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so nothing feels disrupted. I also make sure to give them plenty of attention and reassurance, especially if they’re missing their owner. I’m very respectful of your home and keep everything clean and as you left it. If I’m caring for a dog in my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where they can relax and feel at ease. They’ll get lots of attention, regular walks, and playtime, and I make sure they’re never left alone for long. In both cases, I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, and I always send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely reassured. I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment in my home. Because I’m currently fully available, I’m able to give dogs constant attention and supervision throughout the day. I make sure they feel comfortable and settled by sticking to their usual routine as much as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or rest. Dogs in my care receive plenty of walks, affection, and one-on-one attention. I’m very attentive to their behaviour and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and in need of a quieter environment. My goal is to make your dog feel completely at home and stress-free while you’re away, and I always send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured.
“Sierra was wonderful with my dog Toni - very attentive to his body language/cues and careful with walking him on the route I showed her. She is reassuringly detail-oriented, so easy to communicate with, and very thoughtfully sent me a post-walk report with photos. I highly recommend her for dog walking and boarding!”

“Jessica has been a great help with Phoebe while I recover from knee surgery - she is always on time, a good communicator and Phoebe is so happy and tired out after her walks!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I started working/living at London and saw the need of friends wanting to travel but struggling to find someone to look for their pets. It’s been four years now and my experience goes from cats to dogs, from tiny Shi Tzus to large Golden Retrievers. My friends always ask for me and I really enjoy their pets company. I work as a software developer remotely. Therefore, I am able to provide good quality care to your pet(s) while also working. Monday-Friday: I work from home 9am to 5pm. Would stay at the house working while caring about your pet (flexible work). Able to do 2x dog walks during the day if required. Saturday-Sunday: would be taking care of your pet and if it is a dog I would be walking it to parks, etc. I’m mostly studying at home on my free time. May go out at night for short periods (4h max) to see my girlfriend. The services I provide are house sitting that can involve dog walking (1-2 walks per day). I can do whatever is needed to ensure your pet(s) are in good care. Feel free to share any detailed instructions about how to feed and care for them through my stay. Same goes for cats.
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and I used to live in Spain before coming here. Here in London I have taken care of two of my friends' cats and the dog of a third friend when they have gone on holidays. I have stayed at their houses as is easier for the pet to feel safe and at ease, I have made sure that they are feed, change the cats sand and taken the dog on walks and to the park to play. I am currently working 2–3 days a week in the mornings, up to 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, or 2:30 PM per day in retail, and three evenings a week as a childminder from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM (sometimes 5:30 PM). I am always free one whole day per week (mostly Tuesdays), most evenings, and Saturday afternoon. First of all, I make sure to follow all the instructions that the owner gives me. I keep an eye on anything they can eat and I play with them.

I have two cats at home and have lived with dogs most of my life, so I am well versed in being able to take care of them. I will be able to give them food, water and some play time!
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 ❤️
About: 🎡 Waterloo based animal lover 👩🏻💻 WFH regularly and available for local drop in visits, walks, and daycare 🐾 former dog owner (mine stayed in Italy) 🙋🏻♀️ bringing love, care, and experience with energy and flexibility I am a Trainee Solicitor and work from home four days every two weeks.

“Annie has been walking my boys for the last few weeks and she's fantastic! Very communicative, always cleans them of all of the gunk of the London streets and they seem so much better behaved after spending time every day with Annie!”

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.
“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!”

“Aveline is responsible, punctual and easy to work with. She was able to make our two furry babies feel comfortable and safe when on walks with her. Aveline takes them to the park and they get tired after long walks. One of our dogs is almost 15 years old and Aveline was able to make him feel comfortable. What I appreciate the most is that Aveline is always on time, positive and responsible. Sometimes Aveline walks them extra 10-15 minutes. Highly recommend Aveline!”


About: I’ve been regularly caring for an elderly dog since 2015, and have been caring on a monthly basis for multiple other pups and cats, I’ve always cared deeply for animals and have owned multiple cats and family dogs in my time. Please note - I live my partner, also an experienced sitter, if you aren’t happy with him also accompanying me to house visits. Please let me know, and it is not a problem 😄 I am free every weekend, and also work from home 3 times a week, I would mainly be able to take your pups or cats for full weekends. I live in a two story home with a completely fenced back garden, there is plenty of room to run and play, as well as plenty of space in side to relax cuddle and play games.
“Enrica has been an absolute lifesaver for both me and Haku. Her attention to detail and willingness to accommodate Haku's unique needs, from ensuring she's walked with the right gear to keeping her safe and happy during their outings, truly sets her apart. Enrica's thoughtful approach and clear communication have been invaluable, making it easy for me to trust her with Haku's care. Enrica truly goes above and beyond- from taking Haku to an agility course (which is her favorite), to preventing Haku from scaling trees when she goes full-on squirrel-chaser. And Enrica, thank you for your understanding and patience as I finally write this review! You're truly a gem, and I'm grateful to have you as our trusted dog walker.”

Sierra was wonderful! She is kind, responsive, and always replies very quickly. She did a great job walking my dog, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily contact her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker

Regina is very kind and attentive to my dog Toni - she reads his body language well and adapts as needed. She follows all my instructions for his walks and updates me promptly. She is also very easy to communicate with and understanding about my anxieties as the dog mom of a rescue :) I highly recommend her!

Matilde was absolutely lovely! So patient, so gentle and kind, Roxy fell completely in love with her! She was so happy and excited to spend time with Matilde! It really warmed my heart! She was absolutely wonderful! I will definitely book Matilde for Roxy's doggy walks again!

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 London. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in London.
