I am physically strong and able to care for all energy levels. I love smaller breeds also and am experienced with elderly dogs or those who need more support due to character or disability. As a Dachshund owner, I am familiar with the special care needed for back health and diet as well as issues with stubbornness or separation anxiety, which can be common for the breed.

About: I'm a dog lover but sadly my work doesn't allow me to have my own so I get my fix by dog sitting for others. I frequently look after dogs for family and friends and have had only positive feedback. I work full time Monday - Friday and one weekend in four. My work is flexible and allows for home and hybrid working giving me availability for walking and drop ins. I generally work from home Monday and Friday and am normally available from 4pm Tuesday - Thursday. My job allows a level of flexibility so if my default calendar isn't showing me as available, please give me a message and we may be able to work something out. I'm an avid hiker and walker so I'm no stranger to long walks in the forest and some canine company would compliment that. I live in a bungalow just a 5 minute drive from the beautiful New Forest and 10 minutes from the local beach. The road I live in is quiet and I am the sole occupier with no pets of my own. I have a fair sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. I treat pets as I would my own and they are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I am a non smoker and maintain a tidy home. I'm strict with their diet so you can rest assured they won't be snacking on food that isn't good for them.

About: I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, which is great because it means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I can be available whenever you need me. This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away. I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.

About: I have had a love of animals ever since I can remember, but dogs are my absolute love. I have cared for many over the years, including my own, friends and family. I have all the experience to provide a safe and loving environment for your dog to stay at when you need it. I have experience of many breed types and characters, as well as the knowledge to care for puppies to seniors and dogs with long term illnesses, such as diabetes or pancreatitis. I am home every day, all day and therefore am more than able to provide a tailored routine for your dog. Their needs would be my primary concern. I have a friendly dog who is always happy to have other dogs come to stay or walk with us. They would have the run of the house as our dog does. We have a garden and a wood just across the road to walk in every day.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in New Forest on Rover is £18.4 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,501 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Forest. 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 New Forest. 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 New Forest.

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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 1,501 Walkers in New Forest, 43% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
