“I wasn’t feeling well and needed a dog walker at the last minute and Anya was able to help right away. I gave her very detailed instructions, as Merlin can be a bit nervous after being attacked a few years ago. She handled everything wonderfully, and all went smoothly. I would happily recommend her.”
“Shahad has taken such great care of Babbie during her walks. She asks thoughtful questions, shows genuine care and attention, and always sends me photos from the walks, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend her 😊”
“We booked Amelia quite last minute to cover a week of dog walks whilst we were on holiday. She was absolutely super and we would highly recommend her. My dog instantly bonded with her and was kept in good shape whilst we were away. She was able to offer collection from our house and walk him off lead. Don't hesitate to book Amelia ❤️”
“Bizhen was fantastic and did a great job walking my dog Tino. Great communication and listed to all instructions, and great distance on the walk too. My dog really liked her. I would highly recommend to anyone ! :)”
About: We always had animals around our house growing up: dogs small and large, cats, birds, bunnies. I love all animals and I’ve always gravitated towards dogs and their energy. I feel very confident around dogs and am happy to follow detailed owner rules or to wing it together with your dog! My job is extremely flexible. I work from home and make my own hours. A typical day would be gym, work from home and walking in Richmond Park at night. No pets at our home. Myself and my flat mate live in a two bedroom flat with a moderately spacious living area. We are both very caring and live extremely close to Richmond Park for amazing dog walks.
“Habiba has honestly been soooo wonderful with Mila… which is no small feat given Mila’s size, stubbornness and general Queen-of-the-Arctic energy 😂. She’s been an absolute dream to coordinate with, friendly, professional, responsive, and has gone above and beyond to work around our (often chaotic) schedule. We’ve really appreciated how flexible, patient and genuinely caring she’s been… even agreeing to those brutally early morning walks without batting an eyelid, which we’re eternally grateful for. We genuinely can’t speak highly enough of Habiba and honestly wouldn’t recommend anyone over her. If only more people were like her! Huge thank you from all of us… especially Mila!! 🐾❄️”
“Susi was awesome! She came each day while we were away, her communication was excellent and Charlie loved her. She was patient with him and even coped well with him being jumped on by another male dog. I highly recommend her. We will be using her again.”
About: Growing up I always have had dogs in the house, and my partner and I are so excited for the day when we can have one of our own. With a background in dog training, which, when younger, took me to Crufts to compete at the YKC Heelwork To Music competition, I'm great with dogs and can tailor my service based on their (and your) needs. I also used to volunteer once a week at a dog groomers as a teenager because hanging out with the dogs was so fun. New to the platform, new to the area, but definitely not new to dogs. I have recently moved to London with my partner and am currently at home full time. I am available to walk your dog (basically whenever you need me to). I often go for a run first thing in the morning and would be happy to bring your pooch if you wanted them to burn off some energy with me, or I am available throughout the day to come and walk them. I am a 15 minute walk from Richmond park, so I can take your pup on walk that suits their needs. Need 10 minutes? Easy. Needs an hour or more? Also easy.
About: Hello! I’m Roné (but go by my second name, Stella!), a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up in South Africa surrounded by pets - terriers, German shepherds, Maltese poodles, and rescue cats - and spent my childhood running around our big garden and sandy beaches with my dogs, forming the kind of deep, joyful bond that only pets can bring. Now living in the UK, I miss having pets of my own (apartment rules don’t allow them), which is why I love caring for your furry family members while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping your dog happy, walked, and well-fed, or making sure your cats feel safe, loved, and their routines maintained, you can trust me to treat them like my own. I understand how important it is to leave your pets and your home in good hands, and I pride myself on being reliable, tidy, and communicative. I’m always happy to tailor my care to your pets’ unique needs, so please feel free to get in touch - I’d be delighted to help! I work flexible hours fully remotely so all I need is a good internet connection and my laptop. Please rest assured that your pet will receive plenty of cuddles and their walks throughout my work day Please note that I do not provide boarding or doggy day care due to rent restrictions of my apartment as no pets are allowed in the building.
“Laura is brilliant, she looked after my 6 month old cocker spaniel and he took to her straight away! It was very reassuring leaving him with her as when you meet Laura you can see how much she loves dogs and has lots of experience with them. A really lovely person. Thank you again Laura for your help today, from Ray and Maxine :) xx”
About: I started looking after furry friends to help my anxiety and I’m now completely in love with dogs of any shape and size. I’ve met a range of dogs that live near to me in Richmond Hill that I walk and/or look after in my home regularly. I love creating a bond with the dog I'm spending time with and making them feel comfortable with me I typically work at home 3 days a week and have a pretty relaxed schedule so am able to take dogs out when they need. I love an early morning walk but can also take out at lunchtime or after 5.30 in the summer. I’m also usually around at the weekend for walks or sitting which I love as it means I can give my full attention to the dog. I live in a spacious flat with lots of room for playing and any toys or beds they bring with them. I’m gentle and loving with the dogs I look after and give lots of cuddles, but will always take into account any behaviours or boundaries your dog has. When walking dogs I’m very focused on the dog and my surroundings especially when off lead.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, and caring for pets has always felt natural to me. Growing up, our family home was full of life with dogs, and that experience shaped how comfortable and attentive I am with animals of different personalities. We had two dogs in particular who left a lasting impression on me. My sister had a cocker spaniel who was affectionate and playful, and later during my university years I had a Weimaraner—full of energy and always ready for adventure. He and I quickly bonded over our shared love of morning runs, so I’m especially confident handling active, high-energy dogs who need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. More recently, our family welcomed a cockapoo who still lives with my sister, and I’ve remained closely involved in caring for him whenever I visit. Overall, I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s going for a long walk, keeping them company at home, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My setup works really well for pet care — I'm based at home the majority of the week, with just one day out that can flex depending on what's needed. That means I'm available for boarding almost any day, weekends included. Plenty of calm company, no rush, no stress. I live in a third floor flat, so no escape risks and a nice calm environment away from the chaos of the street. The building has a fenced garden which is great for a bit of fresh air, and if your pet needs a longer stretch, Richmond Park is just around the corner — hard to beat. No other pets in the flat, so your cat or dog gets the full run of the place and all of our attention. My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves animals, so they'll have a little devoted fan following them around too.
About: I’ve done work experience shadowing Veterinary surgeons, and assisting with procedures. I’ve have spent my life around animals. I hope to study Veterinary medicine this autumn, and I also do horse riding. I’m currently in my summer holiday after A-Levels, so I have plenty of free time. I’m mainly free during the weekdays, however this may vary. When taking a dog for a walk, I would create a positive and enjoyable environment that promotes fun, play, and safety. I would choose a safe walking route away from heavy traffic and other hazards.
“Highly recommend Melek, she's super friendly & obviously a dog lover. Reggie our dog was very fond of Melek instantly and she gave regular updates on walks which is always appreciated. We will def use Melek again!”
About: When I was little, I begged and begged my mum to let me have a dog. Reluctant to take on this responsibility, she asked the neighbour if I could walk his dogs - an elderly collie and a sweet little Westie called Oska - once a week. I adored them like they were my own, and this soon led to more dog-walking and pet-sitting for other friends and family, from feeding, brushing and cuddling cats to making sure the rabbits got their exercise without escaping the (fairly bunny-proofed) garden! I am experienced with different types of pets with different families, ages and personalities, so you can be sure your furry baby is safe with me :) I work flexibly from home so will have plenty of opportunities to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you are away :) I live in a suburban area with communal green space around my building and a larger park nearby, and always ensure my flat is a safe space for pets to explore. Considering many pets are sensitive to new people and environments, I always take the time to ensure they can happily get to know me and acclimatise to my flat. I am very adaptable and can follow specific requirements for pets whenever needed.
About: I had my own cat Hugo for 12 years and then I lived with my housemate and her dog Betsie for 4 years. Now I live on my own Betsie still comes to stay with me for a weekend about once a month. I also joined borrow my doggy where I walked and looked after a range of dogs. I absolutely love animals and keeping active and I appreciate being able to care for other peoples pets as it would be difficult to have my own pet full time. I will respect your rules with your pets from the training and commands you use to whether they are allowed on the furniture or not. I will make them feel safe and cared for until you come home. I’m currently working from home so I am available during the week and on weekends. When I pet sit, I am available to walk them before and after work and at lunchtime and I will be home to keep them company. I have access to a communal garden so it is easy to give your pet toilet breaks. I also live near the river and many parks for fun walks. I am happy to have your pet in my home if they will be comfortable in a one bedroom flat or I can pet sit at your home.
“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Maple. From the very beginning, she has been reliable, caring and genuinely attentive — not just to Maple’s needs, but to her personality too. Maple can be sensitive at times, and Jessica has a calm, grounded presence that immediately put her at ease. She clearly understands dogs and takes the time to build trust, which means a lot to us. We always feel completely confident leaving Maple in her care. Communication is excellent — we receive updates and photos, and it’s clear Maple is happy and relaxed. When we return, she is settled, well-exercised and content, which speaks volumes. Jessica is dependable, thoughtful and truly goes the extra mile. We feel very lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced and compassionate dog walker and sitter.”

I had an amazing experience with Wesley and Hannah as my dog walkers. They took such great care of Chucky, my Shiba Inu, during their hour-long walk last week. Not only were they punctual and kind, but they also sent me adorable pictures of Chucky along the way. I couldn’t be happier, and I highly recommend their services!

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 Richmond. 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 Richmond.
