“Alvin absolutely loves Charlotte and is always excited for his walks with her. Charlotte is lovely and arranging suitable dates/times in advance is always easy. Alvin would be lost without his walks either Charlotte!”

About: I’m a qualified, force-free dog trainer at Biscuits Buddies Dog Training I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I’m particularly experienced with nervous, anxious and sensitive dogs, as well as dogs who may need a little more patience and understanding. I’m confident reading canine body language and always work at the individual dog’s pace, using kind, reward-based methods. I also have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds and dogs with additional behavioural or emotional needs. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and understood while in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog as an individual , not just another booking! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally around my day, and when your dog is with me they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, enrichment, toilet breaks and time to relax. Please note that this is not a 24-hour supervision service. Dogs under my care must be comfortable being left home alone for periods of up to 4 hours during the day, as I may need to leave the house for work, appointments or errands. I’ll always make sure your dog’s needs are met before I leave and that they have a safe, comfortable space to settle until I return. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first. As a professional force-free dog trainer, I’m experienced in reading canine body language and recognising when a dog may be feeling worried, overwhelmed or simply needs some space. In my care, dogs are treated as part of the family and given a comfortable, calm environment with plenty of opportunity to rest. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication and any individual care requirements. I only use kind, force-free handling and will never use punishment or aversive equipment. I also take introductions and interactions with other dogs carefully, rather than assuming every dog wants or needs to socialise. I want both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable, so I’m always happy to discuss their individual needs, quirks and routines before their stay. 🐾
“Our dog, Luna, absolutely loved being walked by Taylor. Taylor turned up promptly on time and took Luna to a nearby field, where we received videos and photos on how she was doing and her zooming up and down the pitch! (Taylor previously asked us if Luna was good at recall and able to be ‘off lead’). Taylor is great at communicating with us and facilitating our needs. Taylor even brought treats for Luna, creating a positive bond with her on their first walk. I would highly recommend Taylor to walk your dog/s, with the utmost professionalism and care for them.”

About: Hey! I have more than 10 years of experience taking care of domestic and farm animals of all kinds across a number of platforms and countries! There's been pets in my family home for as long as I can remember. Our first pets were stray kittens that my sister and I found at the bottom of our garden when I was around 8 and that's what started us off on our cat craze! Teddie the golden lab joined us in my early teens and lived in harmony with the cats. I love to travel and have been blessed enough to look after amazing animals throughout Europe in the last 4 years through a number of platforms to great success. Everything from ducks and chickens to goats and donkeys to cats and dogs of course, have been under my care in every regard from eating, sleeping, napping, training and medical needs. Anything specified by the owners is always carried out by me with the utmost of care like they're my own :) I have a car and love to travel, so I am super flexible and available. My schedule is extremely malleable around any particular routines your pet has whether that be medical, or feeding, sleep or exercise related. I absolutely adore canine and feline company and that's what I'm here for. They will always have my utmost focus and be my absolute priority. Until I have pets of my own again, I relish this opportunity to spend quality time with some new lovely furry friends. The only killer is when I have to leave and I've gotten so attached to them :( I do my utmost to assimilate into your pet's life so maximise comfort for them while you're away and absolutely miminise disruption to what feels normal to them.

Although my experience has mostly been with small to medium sized pets, I love spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes! After returning home from travelling I’m currently without a job so have am available all day, everyday to walk or check in on your furry friend! I know like us, each dog has their unique needs, wants and likes so I am more than happy to tailor their walks and check ins to suit yourself and them!

About: Animals have always been a presence in my life, whether through family, friends or neighbours, where growing up as a kid who always loved to play outside, dog-walking and visiting all the local cats played a massive part in my childhood. While I don’t have direct experience, it was always a delight to participate in the care of people’s most beloved pets. My strongest attribute is my ability to be active and get your pet the exercise, care and attention they’ll need. As a freshly graduated University student, I have a period of intermission as I decide on my next steps. Alongside part-time work in the evenings, I hope to take on pet care as a means to stay active, interact with the community and do something I enjoy as a little extra income. I feel it is my obligation to keep the pet company, abide by the instructions for me to keep your pet happy and engaged and ensure security and safety is maintained.

About: Hi, I’m Katy 👋 I’m an experienced, calm, and very attentive pet carer offering dog walking, drop-ins, and sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m especially good with sensitive, anxious, or older animals who need a slower pace, consistency, and gentle handling. I genuinely love being outdoors and tailor walks to your dog’s needs — whether that’s a long countryside ramble, a steady sniff-filled stroll, or just some fresh air and reassurance. For cats, I’m patient, respectful of boundaries, and happy to follow their routine exactly as they like it. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and content.

About: 🔒Secure and safe gated play park walks 📸 Regular pup pictures and updates 🌲On lead forestry walks 👋🏻 Meet & greet before booking 💓 Cared for as if they were my own 🥰 Lots of hugs and cwtches I know how nerve wracking it can be to be without your pet and my aim is to make dog & owner’s experience as stress free as possible! Growing up we have always had dogs and I have taken on a lot of the walking/training responsibilities of both our animals and friends and families. I have lived with and looked after a variety of breeds and have experience with larger dogs too. Myself and my partner would love a dog of our own, but due to work commitments changing in the future I don’t want to commit to a dog of our own and not be able to meet its needs 100% of the time. So by offering services through rover I can fill that dog shaped hole in my heart and provide your pets with the love and attention they need when you are unable to x I am a freelance makeup artist and have a flexible schedule which will allow pet care to fit in to my routine easily and allows me to give them my full attention. I will be the primary caregiver to your pet. However when my partner Becky is not working, we will be caring for your pet together and both love going to long walks and adventures so your dog will get plenty of exercise and entertainment whilst in our care! Currently only offering pet sitting in their own home. It’s important to me that your pet is safe and comfortable in somewhere they know. I will ask all about their routine and how best they usually like to spend their days, so I can continue to make them happy and comfortable when you’re not there.
About: I’ve got plenty of experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities.

About: I grew up around working dogs and will be looking to get my own dog soon! I love dogs and I always have, myself and my partner have also got two spoiled cats in our house so I have experience with cats also.

I'll keep your dog on a lead at all times and am happy to take less social dogs out at quieter times to ensure they get a good walk in. I'm also happy to film and photograph both home visits and walks so you know your pet is receiving the best care possible while you're away.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life as we've always had one as a family pet. I've also taken friends and neighbours dogs for walks along with dog sitting them. I always make a lovely bond and always make sure all animals are well looked after as they are more family than animals Pet care becomes a natural part of my own daily rhythm it’s woven into my schedule almost like clockwork. Here’s how it typically fits in: Morning: Wake-up nudge: Your dog might be your alarm clock. First task? A quick potty break or walk. Feeding time: You prep their breakfast while maybe grabbing your own. Grooming check: A quick brush, paw check, or wiping off muddy paws if needed. Midday: Exercise/play: Whether you're on a lunch break or home during the day, this is a chance to stretch legs and play fetch or tug. Mental stimulation: Maybe a puzzle toy, a training session, or even just some one-on-one time. Evening: Walk or play session: A wind-down activity that burns off energy. Feeding and clean-up: Dinner and water refill, along with any tidying up. Affection/cuddles: Pets need emotional care, too. This could be snuggle time on the couch while you relax. Before Bed: Bathroom break: One last trip outside. Health checks: You might slip in a quick ear check, teeth brushing, or meds if needed. I have a fenced off garden front and back due to having my own dogs with a side gate, dogs will not get out alone
About: Taken care of many dogs since growing up , from family sheep dogs on the farm to walking neighbours dogs while away and friends dogs while on holiday or a emergency I work as a free lance so most weekends are currently free and can be taken for short walks or long hikes for the day. I have a massive lake that’s 5 min fromthe house where I can take for walks alongside a big open field, plenty of open spaces in around , so could potentially drive them to different places depending on preference of the owner.

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 Merthyr Tydfil. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Merthyr Tydfil after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
You can find dog walkers on Rover who have experience of walking dogs across a wide range of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Each walker's experience and the dogs they're comfortable handling will vary.
When searching for a walker, use the dog-size filter and select either 18–45 kg or 45+ kg. Then review walker profiles and verified reviews for experience with dogs of a similar size, strength, temperament, and energy level.
Before booking, tell the walker your dog’s breed and weight, how they walk on a lead, their usual pace and commands, any triggers, and how they react to other dogs, people and traffic. Explain any walking equipment or handling instructions the walker will need to follow.
Complete your dog's profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before the first walk. These steps can help you and the walker confirm that they're a good match for your dog.
Every walker must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the walker is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go through your pet's routine, medical needs and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
