About: I have a bichon frise her name is Bella, she’s 7 years old, she’s a very friendly dog, I’ve also taken care of other dogs, as I treat them as my own, I’ve also worked in a vet clinic as I’m a student vet nurse, I did my placement for 3 months, so I’m very used to being around with animals. Im in my summer break, so im not doing much so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog, i can walk the dog any time you advised me to take it, im very flexible with my routine I have a a balcony, and have a bichon frise which is very friendly is a girl and have 7 years old, I take care of dogs like I take care of mine, with love and monitoring that they are satisfied with their needs.
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.
“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!)”
About: I’m Brittany and I’m originally from South Africa. I moved over in Jan 2021 and have been living here ever since. One of the biggest things I miss about home are my wonderful fur babies. I have grown up with dogs my whole life & absolutely adore animals. Throughout high school I often would house sit and look after friends/neighbours’ dogs either short-term or long-term. Because I don’t have my dogs over here with me, I hope to be able to share that love I have for dogs with your fur babies! Happy to answer any questions! I currently am a nanny in Barnes from 1-7pm so my mornings are free to help out with any care for animals/walks. I can dog/house sit during this time if it’s within a good distance from home and allows for a pet to be left alone for those hours in the afternoon. As a person who has experienced getting a dog sitter myself, I know the anxious feeling you get wondering if your babies will be kept safe and treated well. I can tell you I am very respectful of people’s homes and making sure the animals are always kept safe. As my mom always said to me, “rather be safe than sorry” - so I am very cautious when it comes to animals. I am also super generous with the amount of love I give to animals.
“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 ❤️”
“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 loved animals, especially dogs, for as long as I can remember. Since I was very little, I was always asking my parents if we could adopt a dog, until I finally got my wish! When I was 13, Dana came into my life, and she quickly became one of the most important things in the world to me. ❤️ Since then, I’ve always been responsible for looking after her and making sure she is happy, healthy and well cared for. I love taking her on long walks, running with her (which she absolutely loves!), playing together, feeding her and, of course, giving her lots and lots of love. Taking care of Dana has taught me how important it is to be patient, responsible and attentive to a dog’s individual needs and personality. Now that I’m living in London, I’d love to look after other dogs, give them the same love and attention I give Dana, and make sure they have a happy and fun time while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I work in the afternoons during the week and study on Fridays from 9am to 1pm, so I have plenty of time to care for and walk your dogs. I’m mainly available in the mornings and around lunchtime, up until around 4pm, and I have full availability at weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs. I offer pet sitting in your home, taking care of your pets while you’re away and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and keeping them company. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I give to my own, making sure they’re happy and well looked after while you’re not at home.
About: DBS checked and a genuine dog lover. I grew up with a family dog and now regularly walk an elderly dog once a week. I’ve also looked after my sister’s dog, taking her on walks, feeding her and spending time playing with her. As I live in a studio flat, I am not able to have my own dog. My weekly meet-up with the dog I walk is a truly highlight of my week 🐶 I’m reliable, patient and attentive to each dog’s needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. 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.
“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.”

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 have a dog of my own that I've had since he was 10 weeks old and he's now coming up to 10 years old. I absolutely love and adore dogs (I think they are better than humans). I would take extra special care of your special pup I'm currently in between jobs and therefore available Monday to Friday between 6.30am and 7pm so would be available Monday to Friday between those times I will take care of your special fur baby in the same was I take care of my own fur baby.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Richmond
Fiona is a great and super reliable dog walker. She cared about my dog while I was away for a week, adding food and water to the bowls. My dog looked absolutely happy on the photos during their walks, so I did not stress at all. In total I've booked Fiona perhaps 10 times while traveling or going to conferences, up to 2 weeks of absence. I totally trust her and rely on her.
Lola is a true dog lover with many years of experience of looking after dogs. She is professional and reliable and takes the time to get to know the dog and ensure they are keeping to a familiar routine and are well looked after and happy. I would highly recommend.
We had such a great experience with Fernando looking after Floki. He was absolutely amazing with him and incredibly patient, caring and attentive. He took extra time with Floki and made sure he was comfortable and happy, which meant so much to us. Floki was so happy with him, and we could clearly see that he had been very well looked after. Fernando also took lovely photos and sent them over to us, which was really reassuring while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving Floki in his care and would definitely trust Fernando with him again. Highly recommended! ❤️🐾
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

FAQs for Dog Walking – Richmond
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Richmond on Rover is £17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £28 per walk.
Walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 23,892 Walkers on Rover offering Dog Walking across the city of Richmond. About 80% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Richmond after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
You can find dog walkers on Rover who have experience of walking dogs across a wide range of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Each walker's experience and the dogs they're comfortable handling will vary.
When searching for a walker, use the dog-size filter and select either 18–45 kg or 45+ kg. Then review walker profiles and verified reviews for experience with dogs of a similar size, strength, temperament, and energy level.
Before booking, tell the walker your dog’s breed and weight, how they walk on a lead, their usual pace and commands, any triggers, and how they react to other dogs, people and traffic. Explain any walking equipment or handling instructions the walker will need to follow.
Complete your dog's profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before the first walk. These steps can help you and the walker confirm that they're a good match for your dog.
Every walker must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the walker is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go through your pet's routine, medical needs and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 23,892 Walkers in Richmond, 46% 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.
