“Anna-Lee stepped in at short notice to walk Ralph due to me being struck down with illness. Anna-Lee was easy to talk to friendly and asked all the right questions to fill me with confidence that Ralph would be well exercised and looked after. Ralph came back from his walk happy and relaxed. Thank you so much, I would highly recommend Anna-Lee!”

About: I have been a RSPCA volunteer since 2009. This means I am used to looking after a range of animals with different needs, behaviours and temperaments. Alongside this I have looked after neighbours, friends and colleagues pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, donkey, horses, guinea pigs, ferrets, tortoises, crested gecko, hamsters, chickens, fish and African land snails. I am very happy to look after any other pets you may have. I qualified as Registered Veterinary Nurse in July 2022. I would love to look after your pets! As a Registered Veterinary Nurse I am able to provide additional services whilst pet sitting such as: - Administer medication to your pets. - Provide care for diabetic pets. - Provide urinary assistance (bladder expressing and urinary catheter). - Assist with walking (using a sling). - Physiotherapy - passive range of motion, stretching and massage. So if your pet has unfortunately had surgery or treatment recently I may be the perfect sitter for your pet! I'm happy to discuss any requirements. I work full time as a Veterinary Nurse with variable free days where I am able to pet sit, do drop ins and dog walking. Please do get in touch even if I don't have availability incase I can still help. I can pet sit for a few hours/half day/full day/overnight. For the safety of any dogs I will be looking after I will not let them off the lead on walks unless it is completely secure field/pen. I will always keep an eye on your pet whilst in the garden. I look forward to looking after your pets!
About: I grew up with dogs and understand the need to leave your pooch in the hands of someone you trust. I would be happy to meet up before you put your dog in our care to see if we are the right fit for you and to talk through your dog’s routine/requirements. I work in education (DBS checked) so therefore have a lot of time in the holidays to look after your dog. I also work part time so can offer dog walks/drops ins on days I am off. I have 2 children who adore dogs so I could only offer our services to dogs who are good with children. We would only be able to care for small or medium sized dogs due to their ages. We have a secure garden to provide enrichment for your dog whilst they stay with us. We live close to some gorgeous parks and the beach so could provide some lovely long walks. I work part time so am available Mondays and Fridays and most weekends. We are an active family who enjoy long walks on the weekend so would love to have a dog join the fun. We provide a secure garden for your dog to have enrichment outdoors. We would listen carefully to your dog’s requirements and routine and will provide photos of your dog having lots of fun. We would prefer it if your dog would be happy to sleep downstairs.

About: I am a 19 year old University Student looking to make a little extra money doing things I love over the summer: pampering pets and enjoying the outdoors. I have had two of my own dogs since being little, helping to walk, wash and feed them. They are miniature schnauzers, Lily and Tasha, mother and daughter, with lots of attitude (typical to the breed). My Grandma has been a professional poodle and schnauzer groomer for 60 years, showing, judging, and breeding them. I have helped at many dogs shows and watched her judge at Crufts. I live in Poole, Dorset with lots of scenic landscapes- beaches and parks perfect for walks. I climbed Mount Snowdon last summer and frequently go on walks with my boyfriend. I am home from University for summer holidays in June to October. I have no job so am free in the days all day. I have a holiday booked in the first half of August. I do not drive but make use of other transports methods. When my boyfriend is free from work we are planning on using my National Trust card to for walks and hikes (he drives). My parents are also happy to give me lifts when needed. I have a fenced garden. Two dogs at home, but they are old and may be nervous around other dogs, so I am only offering to look after your dogs in your homes/ keep the walking separated.

About: I’ve grown up looking after my own dog and looking after friend’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I adore animals, and always excited to have a companion for the day! I love hiking, making me a perfect match for dogs that need plenty of exercise and attention. As a university student, my schedule is flexible, with occasional lectures and a part-time role in a cafe. I love spending time outdoors and being around animals, so dog sitting works perfectly into my routine, and is a perfect opportunity for me to stretch my legs! I have no other animals in the house, and have a small, safe garden dogs. There is also a lovely park next to my house, and I have a car to take dogs to nice walking areas.
“Melanie did a great job! I had such peace of mind being able to travel for work knowing she was giving him the attention he needed! And sent photos. Great communication. Thank you again Melanie”

About: I've had my dog Rocky since he was a puppy and he's now 5. I've had dogs growing up and regularly looked after my Sister's dog and friends dogs. I work close to my home Monday to Friday for 5 hours each day during school hours so I will only be suitable for a dog who is happy being home for that amount of time. I would do walks before and after with my dog Rocky and I am home at weekends. I live with my nearly 11 year old twin girls who also love dogs and will also give your fur baby lots of attention. I have a fenced garden to keep your dog safe if they are staying with us. I send regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is getting on. Let me know if you don't want me to share your dogs pictures on my profile.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have had my own large Springador for 14 years that I grew up with, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dog care. As a large, energetic breed, he could be quite challenging at times, which has taught me patience, confidence, and how to handle dogs with different personalities and behaviours. I regularly walk my dog and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, whether they’re calm, energetic, or still working on their lead manners. Through years of training and caring for my own dog, I’ve developed a good understanding of their behaviour, safety, and exercise needs. I’m also a big cat lover. I’ve looked after a friend’s cat while they were away, ensuring they were fed, comfortable, and well cared for and I wish to have one later in life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether you need a dog walker or someone to drop in and check on your pet, I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well looked after. Im currently a student finished with college so have allot of free time and currently no job from my experience this would be a perfect opportunity to start earning money. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home to keep them relaxed and in their usual routine. I follow any instructions provided by the owner closely, including feeding schedules, walking times, and any specific care needs. When looking after dogs, I make sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and toilet breaks, while always keeping them safe on walks. For cats, I ensure they are fed, have fresh water, clean litter trays if needed, and receive plenty of gentle attention if they want it. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always make sure everything is left clean and secure. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Jack & Oihane, were fantastic with our Alfie, Alfie really enjoyed his walks with them. They sent photos of his walks, and made sure we were aware of what they were doing and going. Really lovely couple, who really look after and cared for our Alfie, made us feel at ease knowing Alfie was being looked after, and having a fantastic time with them, highly recommend”
About: I have a little 9+ year old pug myself so have first hand experience with dogs. I’ve had other dogs in the past so experience handling multiple dogs at one time if needed. I work Mon-Fri, however have the flexibility to work from home several days a week so pet care can be provided during the day with notice. Fully available on evenings and weekends. I would prefer to pet sit at pet owners house. My garden is not fully secure. Caring for pets looks like providing walks, taking time to play/cuddle and generally being around to ensure the pets welfare.
About: Hi I’m Mitch, I love dogs, simple as! I have grown up with a Staffordshire bull terrier that was a huge softie and our absolute world! And ever since I have loved working with dogs!

I am lucky enough to be able to work full time with them! I have a fully fenced garden with a double gate airlock system front and back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Poole on Rover is £21.85 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of June 2026, there are 905 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poole. 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 Poole. 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 Poole.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

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.
