About: I’ve grown up with dogs as well as now owning two of my own who are about to turn 5 and 2 in January. I currently have a standard dachshund and an English bull terrier. When I was younger and living with parents we had two Viszlas, and later on a large Munsterlander who I still take care of sometimes. I have plenty of experience with a range of dogs personality and size wise. I am long haul cabin crew but am currently grounded / not fit to fly so can be available pretty much every day and time convenient. If doing drop in visits at your home I would be sure to stick to exact routines laid out by you to make your pet feel at ease.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have been looking after all types of dogs and cats since I was 12, this includes friends, family and neighbours where I would walk, feed, cuddle, spend time with and more! I have looked after many fur babies which I have been able to teach new tricks and training. My love for animals is what made me start looking after them. I have a part time job which means I have loads of spare time to look after pets, this includes weekdays and weekends with loads of flexible hours I have fences around the garden, spacious rooms, many toys and more. I will make sure that your fur baby is comfortable with both me and their surroundings.
About: I’ve had 30 years of experience of being a dog owner. Ranging from small breeds such as a westie to a Rottweiler. I regularly walk and sit my sisters Australian labradoodle. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, allowing me to give your dog my full attention during visits and walks. I aim to be flexible where possible and communicate clearly about availability to ensure reliability and consistency. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my priority at all times. I follow routines carefully, respect feeding and medication instructions, and ensure secure handling on walks. I take a calm, attentive approach and always assess environments for safety. If your dog is comfortable travelling in the car, I’m happy to incorporate walks in nearby green spaces for variety and enrichment. Transport would always be discussed in advance and carried out safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I will keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.
“Anna has been walking Ollie regularly for a few months now and he always has the best time. He is the most excited dog in the world whenever he sees Anna at the door! Anna is fantastic, very reliable and keeps in touch. She has also had Ollie to board as we knew he would love to spend more time with her.”
About: I have grown up around my family and friend’s pets, however never had the chance to have my own unfortunately. I have experience pet sitting for up to 2 weeks for dogs and cats I have graduated from university and have been travelling! I am currently working before i do some more travelling next year! I work part time so defiantly have time to help! I am very responsible, wouldn’t take any risks with your fur baby. Will do what is asked of me safely and give some extra cuddles
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, from hamsters to cats, and more recently I grew up with two lovely black labradors - Charley and Flo. Flo is still bouncing around at the age of 12 and does come for a sleepover now and then, but I do miss having dogs around so am keen to share my love for animals with others. Whether its a walk around the block or staying over I would love to help out. I fit my schedule around what is best for your dog as I know many have their preferred routine. Whether that’s walking at certain times or eating at 3pm on the dot! Your dog will feel like it is at home. With toilet breaks around the clock and being played with to keep them entertained along with lovely long walks in the local green spaces, I will do my utmost best to make sure they are happy.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, which has taught me to how to adapt to the different needs of each breed/species! I‘ve always helped my family and friends with dog walking and have worked as a receptionist at a vets, meaning I come into contact with a large range of breeds daily! I spend everyday with my own animals and from 29th May 2026 I’ll be around to help Monday-Sunday! I’m an early riser and have a friendly Cocker Spaniel of my own if you want your dog to interact with mine! I like to be told the needs and wants from owners and their furry friends to make sure the visit/walk is as helpful as it can be!
“Henry was great. Friendly and flexible. Sent loads of information and pictures of their walks. Worked on some training skills too. Capably handheld our dog who has reactivity issues. Would recommend and definitely use him again.”
About: Whilst I've never had the pleasure of having my own dog due to living circumstances, I used to help my ex with his dog sitting & boarding business, including loads of cuddles, walks, feeding, administering oral medicine etc. I can't wait to have my own dog one day when circumstances allow but also have my own two cats who I love dearly. I work full time but have a very flexible work schedule, so can fit visits & walks around your needs. I am unfortunately out of the country for Christmas, so would not be able to help during that time. I unfortunately cannot offer any boarding services. However, I promise to be respectful of your own home and will respect any rules you set. Please let me know any emergency arrangements and local vet information at the time of hiring. I have my own car so can transport your pet in an emergency.

About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Beagles, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, German Shepherds, border collies and Labradors. Through owning and walking dogs, I've learned how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and handle dogs calmly and confidently on walks. I also have experience preventing leash pulling and helping dogs stay focused and comfortable during walks. In addition to my hands-on experience, I've spent years learning about dog behaviour and training techniques through educational resources and dog rehabilitation programs. For the past two years, I've been the primary caregiver for my indoor domestic shorthair cat, who is now five years old. I handle all aspects of their daily care, including feeding, playtime, grooming, monitoring their wellbeing, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always aim to provide patient, attentive, and loving care. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. As pet care is my main focus, I can accommodate a variety of walking, drop-in, and sitting requests. The only regular commitment I have is caring for my own cat in the evening, so I am available for most daytime and afternoon bookings. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and ensure pets receive reliable, attentive care. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and currently being the primary caregiver for my cat, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each animal's individual personality and boundaries. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour to help pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. During walks, I ensure dogs remain safely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a secure, appropriate area. For home visits and pet sitting, I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and routines. I believe in providing a calm, positive environment where pets can feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“So grateful for Shelley, Dave (and their beautiful children) love and care for my nervous doggy - you won her around so quickly and she loves you all so much! (No small feat!) It was the biggest relief knowing she was in such wonderful hands when I was away - couldn't praise higher - thanks for being brilliant! X”

I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels.

About: I have spent my whole life around dogs and have in-depth experience in particular with terrier breeds, including their training and behavioural needs. I also have experience training pups both at home and at classes. I specifically have experience with: puppies, rescues, reactive, aged and muzzled dogs. I like to give dogs the best environment possible and cater to their needs, whether that be mental or physical stimulation, hugs and cuddles, their own individual space, training or companionship. Dogs are just as individual as us and no two dogs are the same. I am an outdoorsy person and live incredibly close to beautiful countryside so can provide some great walks. I am currently without a dog but this may change in the future when myself and my partner are ready to add to our little unit permanently. I also sometimes care for my family dog who is friendly and great with other dogs, should you ever want your dog to have a playmate. I have general availability on afternoons/evenings and weekends. I work full time but am also able to take occasional WFH days each week as and when, so I can build any walks or sitting needs/requests around this. I have: a fenced in garden with a 6ft gate (mix of grass and patio), currently a large sized dog crate, dog beds, blankets, toys, bowls, spare leads (including 10m long lead for recall training), spare collars, ball thrower and food. I also have a dog whistle should your dog be trained to one. My car has two doggy seatbelts and the back seats have a full cover over them. I will shortly also be looking to do a dog first aid training course.
“The best dog walker we've had. Very communicative, constant updates made us feel that Mikey was safe and getting the proper walk that he needs. Highly recommended! Thank you, Krystal!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I needed to find someone to walk my 6 month old puppy. From the beginning Alejandra filled me with confidence that she would be trustworthy and take very good care of our dog. I would definitely recommend and request to book Alejandra again. Thank you!”

Holly has been absolutely wonderful with my dog. She always kept me updated after each walk, which gave me real peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Holly, for taking such great care of Shiro!
Roseanne is wonderful, she’s walked my fur baby Casper, twice now and has been fantastic each time. She’s professional, confident, and clearly very experienced, which is so important as Casper can be quite active and strong (he’s a Siberian Husky, after all!) I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her walk him again. Highly recommended 😊
Anna has walked my dog Casper twice so far and I’ve been really happy with her. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly very good with dogs. Casper can be quite strong and a bit difficult at times, but she handles him calmly and confidently, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. She’s also a very kind and thoughtful person. When I was in a bit of a tricky situation once, she kindly offered to help, which I really appreciated. It really shows how caring and supportive she is, both with the dogs she works with and their owners. I’ll definitely be using her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
Henry is great. Reliable and a good communicator. Sadie loves her walks with him. Which are always varied and long. We get lots of pictures and detailed information about how she was on the walk, which is really useful for us as she’s reactive. Would highly recommend to others and we will continue use him.

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.
