“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 😊”

“I am always very careful introducing Dexter to new walkers/carers (he’s my fur baby after all) but Habiba has been amazing with Dexter. She is super professional and very friendly with him. She is punctual and has been on time to the minute for his walks. I would absolutely recommend her for any dog!!”

“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 ❤️”

“Susi is such a lovely person and was brilliant walking our dog. We received lots of updates and I was confident he was in good hands. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Susi we will see you again soon!”

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.
“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”

“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 ! :)”

“Nick has walked Miller once (so far) and he’s been fantastic. He read all the information on our profile before coming, was available for a meet and greet where he listened patiently to all our notes and worries, and then took Miller for a great walk. Our dog can be tricky but Nick was not phased by it in the slightest and clearly handled everything brilliantly. Would definitely book again (and will, if he’ll have us!)”

“Fred was excellent with Elphie. He took time to understand her routine and behaviour, and handled her with a calm confidence that really put me at ease. She came back happy, settled, and she absolutely adores him. Really impressed and will definitely rebook.”

“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!”

“We had to ask for Jessica’s help walking our Jack Russell at short notice. She was an amazing walker. Our dog always came home happy. We also got regular updates and photos of the walks. We will get in touch again when we need a walker in the future. Thanks Jessica!”


About: I’m a London-based professional with a flexible schedule over the next few months, offering reliable and attentive pet care. I grew up with cats and a dog (a sprocker spaniel) and have lots of experience dog sitting for family and friends. I’m organised and responsive, and I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely. I can also keep you updated with messages and photos :) Pet care fits easily into my routine as I mainly work from home four days a week and currently have a flexible schedule while working my notice period. This means I’m available for daytime walks, check-ins and feeding, and can adapt my schedule to meet specific needs. I provide attentive and structured care, adapting to each pet’s usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and settled. At home, I live in a lower ground flat with access to a shared, picket-fenced garden, which offers a secure and calm environment. I’m also very close to Richmond Green and Richmond Park, so dogs benefit from regular walks in open, green spaces. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely, including feeding, walking and any specific instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is being well looked after.
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: 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: Owner of established a cafe in the area a crazy animal lover. 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.
“My dog Snezhka really enjoys every walk with Claire and is always happy to see her. Claire shares cute pictures from each walk and is very flexible and punctual. Thanks a lot!”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Brendan and I live in the centre of Richmond with my wife and our two adorable and very friendly dogs. I've had them for 6 and 7 years respectively and before that also had 3 cats and various other pets when I was younger. I absolutely love being around pets, especially dogs as my wife and I spent a lot of time with our wonderful dogs over the last few years thanks to our flexible working circumstances, meaning that I especially get to be at home with them a lot and am now happy to share that availabilty with other fellow pet parents. Due to my work set up (working from home more than 90% of the time) I have plenty of time to support pet parents in and near Richmond (and beyond) and am available for regular walks, drop-ins and of course boarding. I looking forward to meet you all and your pets! I work full-time, primarily at home (going to the office once every week or two weeks). Very flexible whilst working at home and able to help with multiple walks, drops and more. We live in a safe gated community with ground floor access and will assess each pets individual needs carefully to ensure a happy booking everytime.
About: Me and my husband have been around dogs and cats since we can remember! Before we moved to London almost 4 years ago from Istanbul, we had 2 cats and 1 dog and lots of other cats abd dogs that we had been caring for our friends when they were away. We love long walks and cuddles with all four legged furry friends! We both are working from home; me as a freelance translator and my husband as a music composer/producer, so we have plenty of time to care for, play and go on long walks with your pets and also, our schedule is always flexible. Me and my husband, we both work from home, so we have plenty of time to care and play with your lovely pets! Potty breaks are usually prone to turn into long walks because we enjoy it as much as the pets do :) We always listen to pet's owner's request and will share the walking route with them ahead of our walks and let them track our walk.
Richmond dog owners share their Rover experiences
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!

Both Jasmin and her young daughter took Merlin for a walk. Despite the heavy rain, they were punctual and very honest about how the walk went, which I really appreciated. It’s important for me to know how Merlin is behaving and the progress he’s making due to past issues with other dogs after being attacked. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again
