“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.”
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.
“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: 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!

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.
“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: DBS checked. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space or on a walk. I had a pet dog as a child. As an adult, I have loved taking care of my sister's dog multiple times in the year, feeding her, playing with her and going on long walks together. During the week, I am happy to pet sit during the day. I work remotely so I will need a stable internet connection. I can go on short walks during the day or longer walks (1+ hours) at the beginning or end of the day. On the weekend, I can go on long walks, multiple times a day. I offer in-home pet-sitting services, visits and walks. I love pets and I am a responsible caregiver, I prioritise the safety, comfort, and happiness of your pet above all else and will keep you informed with regular updates and photos of your pets during my stay. I can stay home all day with them and provide them with care and company.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and chickens, I love animals! My family have had 5+ different sizes, ages, and breeds of dog and I’ve helped look after each one. I’ve just graduated university so have plenty of time to walk dogs! I currently make my own timetable so my availability is extremely flexible. As a dog walker I prioritize the dogs experience and your boundaries! I will never approach another dog or person without asking, and will always let them stop to sniff around.
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.
“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: Owner of established a cafe in the area a crazy animal lover.

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

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.
