“Kohin and his partner have been walking my beagle Thea once a week for a number of weeks. They are always on time and communicate regularly with me as well as sending lots of photos from their walks. Their service is excellent and I am more than happy to continue Thea’s weekly walks with them :)”
“Sebastian was fantastic with Hector - available last minute which really helped us, was super communicative and made sure Hector had a good exercise. Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: Experienced dog & cat sitter in Morden, next to Morden Hall Park 🌳 🏠 I live in a house with my partner with a fenced in, secure garden. Having grown up with many animals, I miss their company and adore having the chance to look after them and treat them as my own! Whilst we’re not quite ready to take on a dog of our own, a house is not a home without the love from an animal ❤️ I only ever take one dog at a time to ensure they have our full and undivided attention. I’ve established and maintained relationships with numerous pet owners in my local area, with ongoing relationships for more than 3 years. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from puppies to seniors, from dachshunds to huskys. I WFH most of the week so have lots of time to spend giving love to a four legged friend. I’m also fortunate that my office is dog-friendly, so longer term boarders love coming with me to central London and get showered with attention and love from my colleagues! 🐶 I currently work from home most of the week. As a home body, I love spending time in my own space and love to share that with an animal! I like to keep fit with walks in Morden Hall Park which is a five minute walk away, so having a dog to join me is a joy. I treat animals as if they are my own, with endless care, cuddles and attention. Growing up with lots of pets I miss them having moved to London. There is no greater joy than hanging out with cats and dogs so everytime I do I cherish it!
“This is the second time Anna has taken out my little dog Winston and she does such a fantastic job. She really takes care with following instructions and sends lots of photo and video updates - which are really appreciated. I’ll definitely be using Anna again in the future. Thanks Anna!”
About: I have had pets growing up from rabbits to fish to cats and more recently helping with dogs. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and would go above and beyond to make sure you and your pet very comfortable. I would love them like my own. I have experience with vocal/trickier dogs and house cats. I’m completely able to design my week how I like - I work full time but I can work from home and rise earlier and take long lunches for walks etc. Although I live in a flat I have taken care of dogs in this flat as I am local to a big grassy area for quick toilet visits and a huge park for longer walks. When caring in someone else’s home I would be incredibly respectful of the space and treat it like my own - very tidy and caring.
“Alexei and Lin have walked my dog a few times now during the day while I’m in the office. They’re flexible, dependable, and genuinely caring. My dog loves them and looks forward to his walks every time, which says it all. It’s such a relief knowing he’s being taken care of and getting exercise while I’m at work. I highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I am Marina, you local pet expert. I was fascinated by animals since I was a child. I enjoyed helping my aunt to care for sick animals at her vet clinic. 12 years ago I started to look after pets for my friends on ad hoc basis. One day I realised just how rewarding it is and that the pets look forward to my visits. My client list grew and I decided to become a professional pet sitter. I am available to look after your furry friend most do the days. I know life could be challenging, so I am available on a short notice. I have fully fenced garden and a open space plan in the house, so your animal won’t feel claustrophobic. When your furry friend stays with us, I walk the dog at least twice a day for over an hour each time. We live near Morden hall park, where gods have space to run around. Have lots of dogs toys balls/flying rings to play outside.
About: Five years of looking after my own Springador - with daily play, long walks, runs, and grooming. As well has having walked a number of friends' dogs when they've been on holiday, or sick. I have extensive experience of exercising with dogs at all speeds and energy levels. For a number of years we have attended, and assisted with the training at, our local Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training Club where we have completed all the levels through to Gold and helped other dog owners with their own training. Currently between other jobs, so am available to walk dogs at most times of the day. Morning walks, midday leg stretchers, and evening toilet strolls. I run with my own dog most days of the week and can easily schedule these things around each other. Due to the presence of other animals, I do not have the ability to house other people's dogs in my own home (beyond exceptional circumstances). I am happy to visit your dog in your home if requested. I can visit to have a play, feed and toilet as required. I can generally administer any medication as required too.
About: Jordan and I have two cats and a dog who are our absolute world, and we both LIVE for animals. We both work from home so one of us will be around at all times to look after and give love to any pets that may stay with us Jordan and I are both actors and never take jobs at the same time, so if one of us is filming the other will be home 24/7 to look after our own pets and any others that may be staying with us. We live in a flat in Wimbledon with a communal garden and Wimbledon Common on our doorstep. We have a balcony which is cat safe and a litter robot, and we take our dog Moose for three to four walks throughout the day.
About: I have previously owned a German Shepherd Vizsla in New Zealand. I work from home full time so can help keep dogs company with ease. There is a large large park up the road from me which makes for a good lunch time walk or to throw the ball depending on their recall. Happy to discuss your needs. I currently work full time from home. I take a run in the morning before work, short walks at lunch to get my steps up and in the evenings also. happy to have the dogo company at short notice, 7 days a week when we have no plans. I enjoy the company of dogs, and after losing my old mate in New Zealand I thought this might bring back some laughs for me and the family. I do have a fenced small yard, it's not big enough to play in but it is outside. If I'm looking after them in your home, I'd just follow the rules you set, I'n my home I'd take them for a walk or run ro tire them out in the morning and the same in the evening. Easy.
“Alison is brilliant! I felt I could rely on her as soon as we met. Being a dog owner herself she fully understands their needs. I know Alfie looks forward to his walks with Alison and I’m grateful to have found her.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a wonderful dog called Barney, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. I currently split my time between London (where I do contract work) and the USA (where my wife is, we're currently long distance). When I’m in the US, I’m lucky enough to live with two lovely dogs of my own, Dash and Daisy, so I’m very used to long walks, routines, basic care, and the love and attention needed to make our best friends feel safe and happy. I miss them so much when I am in London working. I am fit, healthy, and comfortably strong enough to handle larger dogs, as my Dash is a chonky 70lb boy and loves to pull when he sees a squirrel! I can handle energetic dogs, and welcome dogs who will keep me on my toes and give me a bit of exercise too. I have experience walking dogs who do not mix well with others, so I know all the precautions required to prioritise their safety. I do not walk multiple clients' dogs at the same time and have public liability insurance. I'm also happy for you to check my identity via my professional profile on LinkedIn, on top of checks by Rover. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is in safe, caring hands, and I can assure your dog will be looked after with me. I'd love to hear from you and to meet your pup, thanks for considering my services :) My time is split between London where I can work, and Massachusetts, USA where my wife (and pups) are. I am looking to walk dogs or sit in the South-West London area as this is local to me. Caring or walking your dog fits easily into my routine in London as I have a lot of free time and often work from home, and I have no overnight commitments here. I am only available for walking, or dogsitting or visits at the owner's home, as sadly my accommodation in London is not suitable for boarding. I'm a 39 year old experienced professional person who you can rest assured will follow instructions and keep your home and dog safe. I can handle larger and energetic dogs as I am used to handling my own 65lb dog, Dash, who is a puller. Dash is a rescue who had a bad start in life, and he is nervous or defensive around other dogs. This means dog body language, taking precautions on walks, assessing other people and their dogs, and keeping a firm hold on the lead are all second nature to me.
“Alice has been great with our two dogs Pepper and Brownie. She’s very helpful, flexible and trustworthy, and she always ensures the dogs always have a great time, I definitely recommend!”
“A really reliable dog walker, very communicative and punctual. Detailed dog cards and I know Murphy has felt as ease with Amy as he actually goes out the front with her ( and not just the garden ) which has been rare for him with people he doesn’t know. Would recommend to anyone in the Wimbledon area 🌻💛”
“Lily has been such a godsend. She’s been amazing with Pluto and he is always so excited to see her and happy when he returns from his walks. Love how attentive and understanding Lily is as we get Pluto into a schedule. Highly recommend!”

We booked Ka Wang at very short notice and he turned up promptly to walk our dog Skye at the times agreed. We left Ka Wang with specific instructions for the dog walks; he listened and followed them exactly. Skye is a large dog who is dog reactive, so we were very pleased that Ka Wang agreed to walk her. Skye was very happy and tired after her walks. We received daily updates and will definitely use Ka Wang again. Many thanks
Mei is a fantastic new friend for Barney to take him on walks, I have booked a good few times now when I need a walker and would highly recommend :) - great communication, very flexible and helpful when it comes to getting keys, lots of lovely updates during the walk, knowing what Barney does and doesn't lke, and cute photographs and a round up post walk. x
Kohin and his partner have been walking my beagle Thea once a week for a number of weeks. They are always on time and communicate regularly with me as well as sending lots of photos from their walks. Their service is excellent and I am more than happy to continue Thea’s weekly walks with them :)

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 Merton. 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 Merton.
