“Odeta has done a fantastic job looking after Rita while out on walks. She has taken great care to make sure the dog is safe in the surrounding, and paid great attention to what the dog needs while out. Rita can be very energetic but this hasn’t fazed Odeta, who seems very comfortable with dogs. She’s easy to communicate with and keeps us informed while out by sending lots of pictures and videos. Would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, I'm Lorna-Rose! I've always loved dogs and being around them. Unfortunately, I can't have one of my own at the moment because I still live with my parents, so dog walking and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with them while helping other owners. I work from home, which means I can provide your dog with plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day rather than leaving them home alone. Whether they enjoy playing, snoozing beside me while I work, or heading out for walks, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy and loved. I'm a very active person and enjoy getting outdoors every day. I regularly go for walks on my lunch breaks and again after work, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I'm also the go-to dog sitter in my family! I've looked after my brother's two greyhounds for six weeks while he was away on his honeymoon, and I continue to care for them for weeks at a time throughout the year. On top of that, I've looked after several of my cousins' dogs while they've been on holiday, so I'm comfortable caring for different breeds, personalities and routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll always take the time to learn their individual needs, whether that's energetic adventures, slower strolls, playtime or simply lots of cuddles. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they're safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide dog sitting throughout the week and weekends. As I work from home, I can offer plenty of company and attention during the day. For dog walking, I’m available on weekdays before 8am, during my lunch break, or in the evenings after work. I’m also available for longer walks and visits at weekends. Your dog’s safety, happiness and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs so I can make their stay as familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow the same schedule and routines they have at home, including any rules around furniture or sleeping arrangements (if they’re allowed in the bed at home, they’re welcome to have cuddles with me!). As I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, my family often jokes they get bombarded with pictures of all the dogs I look after!

“Emma and Will have been fantastic with Loki, who can be a handful. They communicate really well and provide lovely updates from their walks with Loki. They've been amazing at working with Loki's pace, as quite a nervous dog we weren't sure about getting a walker, but Emma and Will have gone above and beyond to make us feel reassured.”

About: I live on my own and own a very active Cockerpoo. I've looked after and taken friends and family dogs for around 10 years. I live next to woodthorpe Park which is ideal for your dog to have a adventure day ! If it's a case of me looking after your dog/dogs on there own then that is totally fine. I have family that would be more than happy looking after ziggy for a while if you dog isn't comfortable around others. I currently work part-time so, so have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I am available during most of the week and also weekends I have a fenced garden which has lots of grass and greenery to run around in. I also live close to woodthorpe park which is ideal for your dog to run around and have adventures.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life of both dogs and cats. I have a family dog, a cockerpoo called George who is now 7. I used to look after him when my dad was away. I cater to all needs and will amend my services where possible. I have a 3 year old Husky/Labrador called Milo. He is a very social dog and it would be nice if he made some friends. He has 3 walks a day. I can also walk the dog without Milo. I’ll ensure the dog is safe and always on a lead. I am very friendly and go the extra mile. I have a car so I can either walk local or drive somewhere dependant on the location. Thank you I work from home 4 days a week, my dog has 3 walks a day so I am already in routine. Tuesdays are office days but I can do the odd Tuesday if booked in advance. I have a fenced garden and Milo, my dog to keep your pet company. He is well trained and is always on the lead.

I will meet the needs of both you and your pets, and be sure to keep in as much contact as wished by owner.

Tsz Ching stepped in at the last moment and met us before so she could introduce herself. She made sure she asked the right questions in order to assess Walter's needs. She took Walter for a longer walk than she needed to and made sure he was well looked after. I am very grateful. I would book Tsz Ching again.

Defo a FIVE stars for Yeru!!! She always spend overtime with the dog because she genuinely enjoyed spending time with dogs and cared for them. I got lots and lots of updates and photos from her and I could tell from the videos my dog was genuinely excited in her walks. It was a big reassurance for me from Yeru’s care when my regular dog walker is on holiday. I would defo recommend her to anyone who needs dog care and I look forwards to booking more sessions with her in the near future!!! Thank you Yeru for your commitment for our book sessions!!!

FAQs for Dog Walking – Sherwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sherwood on Rover is £20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £14 and £25 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 2,030 Walkers on Rover offering Dog Walking across the city of Sherwood. About 79% 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 Sherwood. 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 Sherwood 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 2,030 Walkers in Sherwood, 40% 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.
