About: Myself and my partner Lorimer have both owned and cared for animals for most of our lives. Whilst we do not have any furry friends of our own right now, we would love to spend time with yours! We are both comfortable with cats and dogs of any size. I work full time from home Monday to Friday with a very flexible working pattern. My partner splits his time between home and the office, so there is always someone at home to take care of your pet. We have no children or pets of our own, and a house with a fenced garden. We live nearby some great parks and walking routes!
“Naomi has helped me out with drop in visits and dog walks, she’s great at providing updates on the dogs and has helped me out with my last minute requests a few times! Would definitely recommend!”
“I met Anna for initial meet and greet. We had a walk with Lili together. Anna is great with Lili and very attentive to her needs. It’s been great and I look forward to our next booking. :)”
“Matthew has been fantastic with Ruby. She took to him strsight away. Totally reliable and really good communication. She's always really settled on days when she is out with him.”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs since I was around 9 years old. Myself and my partner are not in a current position to buy a dog so happy to help out other families where we can! We love dogs of all ages and sizes and we are super outdoorsy so can do long walks and adventures if required 😄 We are available every weekend for plenty of dog play and we work from home Mon/fri so can account for long weekends and long walks on lunch breaks and pottering around :) our priority is the safety and wellbeing of a pet! We have a fenced garden with no other pets. The home is set up to be safe and friendly for any pet coming and want them to be comfortable! We currently have no other pets so attention is all on them :)
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life starting from watching neighbours furry friends to now enjoying life with my Cocker Spaniel - Rollo. I always try to give every dog a home boarding experience that makes them feel comfortable and like they are in a home away home. Our daily and weekly routine is as follows. 7am - I complete breakfast time and morning walks allowing the doggies to enjoy waking up, enjoying locating sticks, sniffing spots and exploring till 9am. 9am-12 - Working from home I ensure the dogs have constant supervision with the doggies free to enjoy the garden and partioned part of the house until 12. 12-3pm - After the afternoon walk (12-1.30pm) we have rest time where the doggies can enjoy relaxing in the house, watching Bluey or dog TV and the most important things (doggy yoghurt ice lolly and cuddles). If everyone has been good we stop at Starbucks for a well deserved Puppacino. 3-5pm - I usually finish work by 5pm where I organise dinner time and evening adventures (Roslin Glen, Musselburgh Lagoons & Holyrood Park are my favourite evening walks). 8-10pm - Winding down time is where we begin to get settled in for the night with relaxing in the garden and movie night with popcorn. Each dog is different and we make sure to make them feel comfortable and make their stay with us as much as like being at home as possible. For dogs boarding with us my non negotiable is that every dog upon arrival will be checked in and issued with a GPS collar with our contact details
“Kayla was amazing with my two dogs. My boys are both reactive and take a bit of time building trust and Kayla was happy to take the time to get to know them. My boys took to her very quickly, as she was calm and confident and able to pick up my instructions on how best to earn their trust. She was very attentive out on walks to potential triggers and after their first walk without me she gave me a good, honest update about how it went. The boys seem very happy in her care 🥰”
About: Hello, I'm Ewa I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and in Poland I have three dogs of my own – two small and one medium-sized. Since moving to the UK, I miss them very much, so spending time with dogs here brings me real happiness. Looking after dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family and friends. I enjoy long walks, playtime and quiet moments too. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dog walking, home visits, daycare and care in my own home. I live in a quiet flat with access to a large shared garden. To make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, I only welcome one dog at a time (or two from the same household). I have very flexible working hours, so I can easily find time for walks with your pet. Sometimes I have to go away for a few weeks on business, but I think that everything can be arranged and adjusted. I make sure every pet is safe, comfortable and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding and walking routines. I live in a tenement with access to a large garden, where dogs can enjoy fresh air under supervision. I also provide regular walks, attention and a calm, pet-friendly environment. I treat every pet with care and make sure they feel relaxed and secure.
“Thank you, Eilis! What a pleasant experience (for both Scottie and me) - it really gave me peace of mind, knowing that she felt safe and happy with you. Your feedback and photos made me feel like I did not miss out on any of the action, thank you for that. Looking forward to meeting you again.”
About: Have 4 years experience working as an assistant in a dog grooming salon and have completed placements with a variety of animals so I am used to a variety of temperaments and sizes! I work a flexible part time job so I can have a varied schedule. Days I’m available will vary each week so that’s why a 2 week notice is necessary so I can prioritise my time to spend with your pooches! Your dog’s safety & welfare are my priority. I can cater to their needs whether they want to play or have a snuggle on the sofa!
“Helena is super flexible and really accommodating to last minute requests and changes which is super helpful with our ever changing shifts. We are very grateful for her and the help she has given us!”
About: I was a dog walker for around 2 years pre covid. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs! My partner and son who I live with share my love for dogs.. thankfully! I am a self employed cleaner in houses around my street, I will always be close to home. We are an outdoor loving family (son goes to outdoor nursery) and are always going on walks in the fields behind us/woods around our town. *please note, we are located in the EH22 postcode area* I have a fenced back garden and I have space for a dog crate if need be. Pets can be fed inside or outside, whichever is preferred. My partner Michael, who can be seen in my profile picture, will be home with myself when caring for your pet. He's also a pet lover who is brilliant at giving ear and belly rubs. If your pet is up to it, they can have a go in his work van!
About: Hello! I’d love to care for your cats while you’re away on holiday! I have two cats of my own and have owned cats for more then 15 years! I own a small stationery business and work from home so I have plenty of time to pet sit! I normally will do 1 or 2 visits a day! I came from CatInAFlat so I’ll be only looking after cats for now! I own two lovely cats so I will not be boarding pets in my own home. I will come to the owners home and feed and play with the pets and of course scoop or change the litter box! I’ll always make sure I’ll leave the home clean and tidy when I leave!
“Emma has been really great with my dog on his daily walks and her love for dogs really shows. Very proactive with updates and responsible! Would definitely recommend~”
“Louisa was absolutely fantastic with our dog Rowley! She was very reliable, enthusiastic and they went for an interesting and different walk everyday. We always had photos of their walks and information about it.”
About: I used to be a vet student and have experience working with everything between day old puppies to geriatric dogs, I’ve grown up with dogs so know all the best walking routes! Currently unemployed and just finished up uni for the summer. I’m super active and I’m looking to offer some help anytime I can. I’m super clean and will always respect your personal preferences when it comes to caring for your pets. I love walks of any distance and am always keen for some play time!

First time using the app(/dog walker) so wasn’t sure what to expect. Anna was fantastic with her communication. I was booking late but Anna put me at ease. Received pictures of the walk and the dog was suitably tired, which is always a good sign 😊 highly 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 Midlothian. 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 Midlothian.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
