About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My family have had dogs since I was little and I now regularly look after my mums dog during the week and when she goes on holiday as well as other family and friends dogs. I am available during the week and on weekends and work from home so I can be flexible to suit you needs. I work from home and have an office in the garden so your dog would have constant company and be free to roam from the house to the garden. I walk every day and I love being outdoors in the fresh air. I also have a car so can collect your dogs or pop over for company/toilet breaks or for a walk. I have a fully enclosed fenced back garden with plenty of space. Your dog will be treated like one of the family with plenty of love, walks, cuddles and attention. My home is their home. I live 2 minutes from a park, 10 minutes from the forest and 30 minutes from the beach so there are plenty of places for walks. I have a husband and a daughter who are both dog lovers but it will be me who will take full care and control of your dog while in our home

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've have looked after dogs all my life, I've grown up with them since I was little. I have a working cocker Spaniel called goose. I have complex experience from my last dog who suffered with hip dysplasia, seizures and dietary needs, I managed most of his life untill he passed away wagging his tail. I am a care manager of 19 years so I am no stranger to caring, supporting basic life needs and responsibility. I am honest, transparent and I care. I used to use dog sitters myself and the levels of anxiety trusting a stranger is hard and with this comes levels of anxiety. I will always be contactable, photos and updates will be sent so you. you and your fur babies will be in safe hands. I work 9-5 Monday to Friday as a care manager, I have weekends off so I will be able to give this time to your fur family members. I'm happy to come and stay with your pets to ensure they feel safe whilst in their own home, I feel this helps with their anxiety and being within their own homes they will feel more relaxed and safe. I am DBS checked and I work closely with multiple care agency partnerships and local government, I am very transparent and honest and these traits are within my fibre of which I am extremely proud of.

About: We have had animals in our past homes for 20 years me and my husband been together 22 years and also handled puppies whilst one of mine was in labour so I had a lot of experience with dogs of all different breeds.Before Dog boarding I used to look after friends and family’s dogs whilst they were away and took the leap to join officially through rover. I have a papillon now called Harvey and he likes to play has lots of fun to play with other dogs big or small , dogs seem to love coming to mine has its going from home to home without the upset or pining for there owners while they are away , they have way too much fun with toys and walks around the woods that’s backed onto me. Start the day by letting the dogs out, feeding them, and having breakfast. After that, take them for a good morning walk so they can get some exercise and explore. Once you're home, spend some time playing with them, whether it's fetch, tug, training, or games in the garden. While they rest, you can do your household jobs, relax, or enjoy a hobby. Later in the day, have lunch and enjoy some quiet time together. In the afternoon, give the dogs another play session or some enrichment, such as puzzle toys or scent games, followed by a shorter walk. In the evening, feed the dogs, have your dinner, and spend time relaxing together before taking them out for one final toilet break before bed. This keeps them active, happy, and settled throughout the day. I have quite a big garden. Patio and artificial grass which is fenced off. Very Secure Garden lots of room to play around there and squeaky toys and balls and beds to sunbathe 😜

About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too. I regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.

Life saver. We contacted Keighley en route to France as family members work arrangements changed and we found ourselves with a huge problem. Fortunately Keighley was able to step in and provide cover to walk and feed the dogs. Without her I think we would have had to cut short our holiday. Absolute life saver, professional and reliable. I cannot thank you enough.

About: I have over 30 years of experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including Border Collies, Jack Russell Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Labradors, and Cocker Spaniels. Throughout the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique personalities, traits, and needs of different dogs, adapting my care to help each one thrive. I have supported dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to adulthood and into their senior years, providing nurturing care, training, guidance, and companionship. I am passionate about building strong bonds with animals and helping them become happy, well-rounded, and confident companions. In addition to dogs, I have also owned and cared for several cats, which has further strengthened my knowledge and love of animal care. I am extremely passionate about animals and pride myself on providing a professional, reliable, and compassionate service. I dedicate my full attention, energy, and experience to every dog and cat I care for, treating them as if they were my own. Families can trust that their beloved pets will receive the highest level of care, attention, and affection while in my hands. I am self-employed and work flexible hours, which allows me to tailor my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility means I am available for daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I can provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring dogs receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need while their owners are away. I am happy to care for pets in their own home through house sitting, helping them remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and property are safe and secure. Alternatively, I can provide a warm, welcoming home environment with a secure garden, ideally located near the coast and the New Forest for enjoyable walks and outdoor adventures. As there are no other animals in my home, your pet will receive my full attention in a calm and stress-free setting.

About: Hi I’m Mykala — a professional and friendly pet sitter and dog walker based in Eastleigh and surrounding areas. I’ve gained hands on experience through working at dog daycare, boarding and training dogs for college and volunteering at vets, which helped me build a solid understanding of dog behaviour, body language and basic obedience. I’ve just finished my 1st year veterinary nursing but am taking a break to focus on more on my business. I have experience with old, young, reactive and everything in between. As this is my full-time job. I may occasionally need to step out briefly to attend to other clients during the day. If your pet has separation anxiety or requires constant care and can’t be left alone more than a couple hours, I’m still more than happy to help, this would simply be shown in a higher price to accommodate for the additional time and attention they need. I am able to administer medication if needed, I’m currently doing my canine first aid qualification and have basic animal behaviour qualification for the animals who need extra care and support

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up, there were always dogs and cats in the house, so caring for them quickly became second nature. That early experience gave me natural confidence and affection with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need a little extra tender loving care and puppies who are still learning the basics. I really take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family, because I know just how much they mean to you. I'm currently available most days. I am not working so I am very flexible. I can be available to care for your pet anytime from morning to night. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel right at home. My garden is fully fenced off and the inside of my home is cozy, clean and free of any potential hazards. Whether your let loves lounging in the sun or playing around in the garden, they'll have a safe and relaxing environment to enjoy.

About: Growing up I had 2 Lhasa Apso’s, they were such a big part of the family. Since then, I have looked after numerous friends & family dogs when they have gone on holiday. I’m currently working part time during the week but these aren’t long days. Over the weekend during the days & evenings we are around much more. My garden is fenced and very secure. We do have a cat who doesn’t mind dogs. She is used to dogs being here so tends to keep herself to herself!

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in New Forest on Rover is £14.95 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,498 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.

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.
