I have plenty of time to take care of whatever needs your pets may have throughout the day, from feeding to playing with toys with them!

“Shuhan took a last minute booking, which is absolutely incredible. Really appreciate it. She was caring and engaged with Theo. He seems to ahead enjoyed their time together as he was absolutely exhausted. 😃 Absolute superstar!”
“Jessica has been brilliant walking Phoebe a few times a week while I recover from knee surgery - Phoebs always comes back happy and tired from her walk and park adventures, and Jessica has been super reliable and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.
“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’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.
“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!”
“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!)
About: I do remote work from home, which means I have lots of time for long walks and play with your furry friend. I have owned three dogs and worked at a shelter so you can rest knowing you’re leaving your friend in a safe and loving home! I grew up on a farm in Switzerland so I’ve also had experienced caring for pets, horses, bunnies and other farm animals. I understand how important it is to feel reassured when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. This is why I give regular updates, photos and videos. My aim is to make a safe and cozy environment for your furry friend to feel like they are at home. I accept any pets; I’m always excited to meet new animals. Very flexible. I’m a Law student so I can fit my timetable to your loved one’s needs. Available 24/7 for any requests and last-minute changes. I always meet & greet with new pets, allowing my clients to ensure they’re in good hands and my garden or flat at their request. I have a large outside space in my property which is a safe and fenced garden for dogs to run around. This will allow them to get fresh air and take frequent bathroom breaks. My central location in Piccadilly makes any needed travel for pick-up/drop-off easy. I am also close to major London parks - Hyde, St James, Regents, Battersea - all safe and spacious. I live an active lifestyle and can run with dogs as I often do so myself.
“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.”

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.
About: Despite not having dogs myself, I have always been the trusted neighbour and friend to look after dogs when owners are away, when they need a day off, or just whenever the pup needs a playdate! I love dogs of any breed, so you can rest assured that your dog is going to receive plenty of love and cuddles from me! Im a university student who only needs to go into campus once ever two weeks. Thus, that leaves me pretty free for about 13 days in a fortnight I live in an apartment that is 1,180 square feet so your pet will have plenty of space to run around! if needed, there is also space for crates and any pee or poo pads to be placed around the house as well :)
About: Growing up, I learned the true meaning of companionship through raising my beloved dog, Milo, since I was 15. Over the past decade, watching him grow from a playful puppy to a wise 10-year-old has given me invaluable experience in understanding dogs at every life stage. While traveling, I've discovered that caring for pets through Rover isn't just about pet sitting – it's about creating meaningful connections and exploring cities from a local's perspective. Each walk becomes an adventure, and every pet I care for reminds me of the special bond I share with Milo back home. I'm currently studying full time, but I would absolutely love to take care of your pets in my spare time! I can work full time on weekends and arrange my week to help you, just let me know what hours suits you better! I will take care of your pet as he/she were my own, whit full dedication and love! If they have a special care, please let me know!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in London is £14

Anita is an absolute pleasure to have look after Poppy. She was super responsive, able to also react very last minute to a request, and kept me well informed while doing the first dog walk with Poppy. I would absolutely trust Anita again to come visit or walk Poppy. See you soon :)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Natalia was absolutly great with my Loki. He was left in a safe hands while I went away for holidays. She had been taking him for a long walks and always updated me with so many photos and detailed note about each walk. She made sure he is safe in a heat, refilled his water bowls and his bowl with food after every walk. She is also very easy to communicate with, she followed all the given instruction and on too of that was very friendly. 100% reccomend her to a small ans big dogs like mine husky. She did amazing job. ☺️
Sohjeong was amazing. I had a complicated set up as I needed care while going to a friend's party. She was really easy to work with in setting it up and looked after Charles very well. Because of the very hot evening it made sense for Charles to spend a bit of time in her studio with air con - so I got some lovely pictures of Charles next to art! It was lovely having her look after Charles. Thank you, Sohjeong
Amanda was totally brilliant, as I had a complicated set up needing someone while I was at a party in South London. She is really easy to deal with and we worked well getting the drop off and pick up organised. Charles got a bit stressed beforehand, so she was amazing at calming him and giving such a nice time on a walk. Got some lovely photos I will keep. Thank you, Amanda
Maddie was absolutely lovely and made Remi’s first ever dog-walking session such a positive experience. She was friendly, polite, reliable, and communicated really well before and during the walk. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was, especially in the hot weather! She brought cold water and a bowl for Remi and checked with me before giving her any treats. She also uploaded photos and updates on the app during the walk, which was really reassuring, especially as it was Remi‘s first time with someone else. I could tell Remi had a good walk with her, and I now feel very comfortable booking Maddie for regular walks. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and caring dog walker near Battersea!!
Ruby was fantastic with Copper, but what touched my heart about her was her empathy. She went out of her way to buy my mum a pack of biscuits! She's definitely our go to walker for our Copper who seems to have taken to her so very quickly!! Thank you so much Ruby!

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.
