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 have taken care of friends’ dogs for years, I love them but sadly can’t have one of my own because of work travel so would love to dog sit to help you and get the furry fix! I’m active, friendly I have flexibility to work from home when needed, mon - Fri. Office is also open to pets. Around work I have no fixed commitments, just often gymming and getting out and about! I live in a pet friendly apartment very close to both Clapham and Wandsworth Commons so lots of green space around. Space for crates if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Currently while I’m in the UK my dog, a golden retriever named Chispa, is with my family back home and I miss her dearly! I have trained all my dogs and was always the one caring for them, taking them on walks, taking care of them when they were sick, and giving them tons of love!! I’m starting my Master’s degree by end September, so I don’t have a clear picture of my schedule, but I know I will have some free time, as well as weekends. I can easily control dogs (unless I’m extreme circumstances) and will do as told by the owners’ instructions. Usually I keep my dogs with me, or near me and do regular checks on them. I have no problem giving them medications, or taking them out, or even getting them to eat when they’re being difficult.
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’ve been dog sitting for five year, I absolutely love dogs and signed up for Rover just because I love hanging out with dogs. I’ve volunteered at dog shelters in fiji and have raised a dog of my own who has sadly passed away. Since I’m currently a student I’m unable to adopt a dog and give them the time they deserve so I figured dog sitting is the best option for me. Very flexible in terms of time! I also have experience with dogs that have had disabilities and very strict care regimens due to old age so I’m prepared for almost anything I’m currently a student (starting September) but other than that I’m usually home and free to take care of your dog and usually don’t go out. No matter how strict of a core regimen your dog has, I promise to follow it to a T, I’ll do whatever is needed to make your baby happy and comfortable with me. I do live in a flat however there’s a beautiful garden for dogs to play in if you need me to bring them to my place for the day.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I regularly pet sit for family dogs and have experience looking after their different personalities, routines and individual needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, caring and responsible, and I understand how important it is to treat every dog as an individual. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to provide your pup with plenty of attention, exercise and companionship while you’re away or busy. At the moment my schedule changes from week to week so I will update this when needed. But I will be available full days at least 2 days a week. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and regularly pet sit for family dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. Dog walking is my preferred service, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and care while keeping them safe at all times. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding, treats, playtime and medication where appropriate. I can also provide pet sitting in your own home if needed, helping your dog feel comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is in safe, caring and responsible hands.
“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!”
“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.”
“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 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.
“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.”
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!)

Rebecca was great. She was punctual and demonstrated great initiative given the scant details I had provided about where to meet etc. Upon meeting her I was impressed by her confidence and she looked the part which also helped me feel happy about handing over the fur child to a stranger. Rebecca was very adaptable and and adjusted the time to suit my needs. Would feel really happy to have Rebecca take care of Billy anytime. Photos were great too.
She did an amazing job with my baby girl… Mia does not trust people easily, but with her Mia got along very well, she was feeling at home with her. She made sure that Mia got her walks and also gave her lots of cuddles…. She kept me updated throughout the day… Thank you so much… you are the best 🤍
As always Weronika did an amazing job with our little nervous girl. Brie loves Weronika and even eats out of her hand which is very unusual for our nervous doggy. Very pleased and definitely highly recommend Weronika. She really cares about the animals she looks after.
Kara was lovely with Alfie. Super prompt, efficient and easy in communicating and proving updates. She was also very gracious with being flexible at short notice. Alfie instantly took to her and enjoyed walkies with her. I would be delighted for Kara to take care of Alfie again.
Elif was super helpful looking after Basil, she took him on a very long walk and spent a lot of time with him and took excellent care. Basil was so happy when I got back to him which is always lovely to see, I felt extremely comfortable leaving them together and would absolutely book again if I ever need another dog sitter :)
Natalia has walked our dog a few times so far and she has been brilliant, she's made a great connection with our dog and seems to genuinely care, she's taken time to learn about his personalised care cause he's an anxious dog, and has been very responsive throughout. I'm very grateful we found her and would definitely recommend!

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.
