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. 🐾

Robyn came over to meet my dog Jasper before the walk and he took to her straight away. The photos and videos show he had a great time and it was great for me to see him happy in my absence. I will definitely be booking Robyn again!

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: 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: 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: 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 have dogsat for friends and family and wholly loved the experience, I also trained all of my own dogs growing up so I fully understand that every animal has their own unique traits and personality. I'm always available to pop in and take care of your pets! Be it a short toilet break and water check or a good long walk, I'm happy to learn your rules and expectations and make sure that your animal is as happy as possible while I'm around. And if they're not the social type - thats fine too! I'll always have water with me on walks to make sure we both stay hydrated. 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. I also 100% encourage a meet and greet beforehand for you and your animal, so they can get a sizing of me and so you know who you're dealing with!

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. Your pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and routine always come first 🤍 Im a stay at home mum and currently studying part-time so plenty of time to fit in playing, feeding and sorting out pups and cats. I can do drop ins morning, afternoon, evening and can do doggie walks in morning and afternoon. Happy to have dogs in the day, i have a fenced garden and live near lots of big outdoor spaces and great walks for them to stretch their legs. I also own a medium crate and/or happy to crate dogs at your home if need be. I drive and can come and pick up dogs for walks.

About: I’ve got plenty of experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m confident with daily care such as feeding, walking, playtime, and sticking to routines, as well as giving dogs lots of attention and reassurance while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment, and I’m very patient and calm with nervous or energetic dogs. I’m also used to cleaning up after dogs, keeping their space tidy, and making sure they get enough exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and treat them as if they were my own, always following owners’ instructions carefully and keeping them updated if needed. My schedule is currently fully open and very flexible, which means I can easily adapt to different dog-sitting needs. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, short-notice bookings, and longer stays, and I’m happy to work around each dog’s usual routine. This flexibility allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, walks, and care throughout the day rather than rushing in and out. I’m reliable, punctual, and able to commit fully to the time needed to make sure each dog feels settled and well looked after. I take pet safety and wellbeing very seriously and always make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. In my home, I pet-proof the space by removing hazards, keeping doors and gates secure, and making sure pets are supervised and comfortable at all times. When caring for a pet in their own home, I respect their routine and surroundings, following all instructions carefully to keep things familiar and stress-free. I provide regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection, while also monitoring behaviour and wellbeing so I can spot any changes quickly. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to create a safe, relaxed, and loving environment.

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.

About: I love dogs and grew up with a Bedlington terrier for 14+ years, I also worked day to day with a Cavachon for 1+ years. My family also recently welcomed a cocker spaniel pup into the family so I know the amount of cwtches, play-time and walks puppies need! 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: 🔒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.

FAQs for Dog Walking – Merthyr Tydfil

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Merthyr Tydfil on Rover is £14.38 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,116 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Merthyr Tydfil. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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 Merthyr Tydfil.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
