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.

About: I provide calm, loving, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were my own. I had the privilege of owning a beautiful Husky for three years, which gave me hands-on experience with an energetic, intelligent breed that thrives on exercise, routine, and companionship. Since then, I’ve looked after a variety of dogs through house sitting, including a Whippet, a Jack Russell, and, most recently, a wonderful Standard Poodle. I’ve also cared for a lovely cat, so I’m comfortable looking after both dogs and cats and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and keeping to their usual routine, helping them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8am–4pm, with the flexibility to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. This means I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, or daytime walks on those days. Outside of work, I’m happy to provide evening visits, overnight house sitting, and weekend care with a little advance notice. I’m reliable, caring, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether you have a playful pup who loves walks or a cat who enjoys company and cuddles, I’d love to help and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. As I provide care in your home, I’ll always follow your instructions to ensure your pet feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before any booking so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re comfortable with me. If you use a key safe or access code, I’m more than happy to use this, or you can let me know the best way to access your home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of cuddles, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well looked after while you’re away.

Tom is trustworthy and reliable, following our instructions to care for our spaniel, Hank, well. As a young dog he can be a handful but Tom gave us an update and looked after him well despite this. Thank you!

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: Having grown up with dogs, cats and horses. I am a huge animal lover. I have pet sat and dog walked from a very young age. At the age of 16 I trained a disobedient male Labrador called Buddy, the family told me I changed their life. I have a way with animals, I love cuddles, walks and playing. I am always happy to assist with looking after pets other than dogs and cats too. No pet is too much for me and with me, they’ll be guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I usually work away on superyachts but I have come home to take a break and possibly find a change of career. Animals have always been the centre of my world and I am hoping this can go further. I will follow all instructions given to keep your pet as safe as possible! I am also happy for pets to stay upstairs with me if this is what they’re used too or shut downstairs if that’s your preference.

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 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!

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

FAQs for Dog Walking - Poole

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Poole on Rover is £21.85 per walk (as of July 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 July 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.

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 905 Walkers in Poole, 41% 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.
