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: 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: 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.
“Nick has been amazing. Our Kale is really happy walking with Nick. Always on time and cheerful and confident, Nick is there to give your pet a playful and enjoyable time.”
“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”
“We were struggling to find a dog care for a wedding very last minute and Anya stepped in. Anya was a great communicator and provided updates via rover on the walk. Thank you :)”
About: Hello! I’m Karen, a friendly, reliable and caring pet sitter offering pet care in your pet’s own home. I’ve owned and cared for pets for many years, as well as looking after animals for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and administering medication when needed. I’m naturally very attentive to animals and have a keen ability to read their body language and subtle cues, which helps me understand when they want affection, play, reassurance or simply a little space. When caring for your pet, I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, settled and comfortable while you’re away. Depending on their needs, this can include: walks, playtime, feeding, medication, lots of company and, of course, plenty of cuddles for pets who enjoy them! I currently have good flexibility on most weekdays and weekends, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than rushing in and out. I work a regular 9-5 job, remote most days/weeks so I am able to create a schedule that works for your pet care needs. Every pet has their own personality, and I really enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I regularly work from home (M-F, 9-5) and am able to structure my days and meetings around my animal caring responsibilities, we can discuss this further in person! When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, settled and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, body language and individual needs, including when they want affection, playtime or a little space. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication and home security. I always make sure windows, doors, and gates are kept secure - I treat every owner’s home with care and respect. (I will also water plants if requested). I’ll provide regular updates with photos and videos, so you know your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away!
“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 😊”
About: I've always had a love for animals and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I've grown up surrounded by dogs through friends and family, and I've regularly helped by walking and caring for their dogs over the years. I'm an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so whether your dog loves a gentle stroll or a long walk or run, I'm happy to tailor each walk to their energy level and needs. I'm also comfortable caring for cats, making sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection if they enjoy it. What sets me apart is that I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal's personality and routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I'll take the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm also happy to care for senior pets, following any routines or medication schedules provided, and I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to rather than a chore. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, visits, feeding routines, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m organised and reliable, and I understand the importance of keeping pets to their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s an energetic walk, a relaxed stroll, playtime, or simply spending time keeping them company. I understand that welcoming someone into your home or trusting them with your pet is a big responsibility. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of reassurance while you’re away. For walks and visits, I prioritise safety by using secure leads or harnesses, being aware of my surroundings, and adapting activities to suit each pet’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’ll always treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own cat.
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10, starting with our own family friends dog who was always drawn to me. Over the years, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I’m always the go-to sitter in my family. I’m also preparing to welcome my own little cockapoo soon, so I understand the importance of providing safe, loving, and attentive care. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own🤎🐶🐾 I work completely remote from my phone, which means I’m home and available throughout the day. I have plenty of time and love to give, and I’d be so happy to spend it with your pup! Working from home allows me to give dogs constant care and attention, whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles. I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable - just like they would at home.
About: 30 year old dog lover living in Richmond. I I grew up with dogs from aged 8, we went through 3 generations! We had 5 litters with two of them and it was an incredible experience to grow up with. I love dogs so much but it’s not the right time for us to have one of our own, so I’d love to help out to whoever needs it. We often dog sit for my partners family dogs, and my sisters’ dogs. Very confident looking after and caring for dogs and would love to have a furry friend join me on my daily walks. I work from home Monday/Wednesday/Friday, in office on Tuesday and Thursday but not mandatory. I go for walks at lunchtime everyday, and often after work. We have a small courtyard garden and short walk away from Richmond park / the river. Plenty of space for a crate. We don’t currently have any pets of our own.
About: Have very frequently looked after friends and neighbours’ cats and dogs since 14 years old. As a student, I don’t have pets of my own but have always wanted one (not picky though my sister adores cats). Some of my pet sitting experience includes looking after cats for months at a time, as well as sitting for a friend with 3 dogs. I am very good at adapting to pets’ specific needs and just really enjoy looking after them in general :) I’m currently on my post A-Level Summer holiday and apart from a couple weeks of travelling I should be mostly free to cat/dog sit. When walking dogs I take them to large parks to play and exercise, taking them along routes away from main roads where possible. With cats, I’m more than happy to stick around and play with them to help de-stress if you’re away. Also able to clean litter trays etc.

I will happily take care of you pet while you are away! 🙂 I am having some spare time at the moment so thought why don't I spend it with my favorite creatures? I would love to take your dog for a walk or visit your cat while you are travelling 🥰 I have over 15 years of experience with cats and dogs so you can be sure your loved one will be properly taken care of.
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.
“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 ❤️”
“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!”

Jessica has been extremely flexible with last minute changes to my needs and constantly kept me up to date with everything. Cosmo also warmed up to Jessica immediately and I felt reassured from the very beginning that she would be in good hands. Strongly recommended.
Aisha has come to the rescue assisting me with Cosmo on a last minute ask. Aisha was very attentive, gave a detailed report after the walk and felt very reassured. She made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Well recommended
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.
