“Emma looked after our two dogs while we were away, taking them out for their daily walks or just playing with them due to the heat. This was the first time anyone outside of our family had walked them, and it was clear from the updates and photos that they had an amazing time in Emma’s care. We were kept informed every day with messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care. Thank you, Emma!”

About: Family and friends have trusted me to look after their family pets for years, I love being outside but also having a snuggle on the sofa. We have a large enclosed garden with the door that is usually always open for free play inside or outside. I’m currently setting up my own business so I am home all day every day so am around for your dog to have company all the time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a while, i’m patient and will understand any needs you may described from me. From Tibetan Terriers to Rottweilers. I currently work 7:30am-4:00pm Monday-Friday. So early morning or late afternoon suits me best and any time on the weekends i’m easy going really. I don’t personally own a dog at the moment but i’m mainly into walking dogs so it’s just that for the time being
“Tianna was great when we contacted her at short notice to request a walk for our doodle puppy. She promptly came to meet him and get to know him. As a puppy he’s not used to being left for too longer period so it was great that Tianna was able to take him out and make s fuss of him so that when we returned home he was calm and settled . Thanks Tianna we hope you will continue to provide walks for Barley when needed in the future.”
“Zoe was able to walk my dog last minute as I had to leave him at home unexpectedly. He is a bit of an anxious dog and Zoe took the time to let him get comfortable with her and sent me written updates and pictures :)”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own for 13 years and have been surrounded by family and friends’ dogs for most of my life. I absolutely love spending time with animals, and since being a working adult have been missing having dogs of my own.

About: I LOVE animals! I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and have had dogs in my home! I love both cats and dogs and am a very respectful, responsible young lady who understands the stress when going away to find someone you feel comfortable and happy with in your home! I have a sprokerpoo called Ernie, and we’ve recently had this issue! I work from home with my own business in social media management, so I thought why not offer pet sitting and other services! I also have qualifications in teaching and elderly care so I am an overall compassionate and loving person! As I work from home (or anywhere with internet) I can virtually be free most of the time to pet sit! I drive and am happy to travel to you for petrol fees! If anyone has any questions you can always message! I am very eager to meet, play with and love your pets just as much as you do 🤍 I work for myself, so I choose my own hours! If you have internet in your home (if I’m house sitting) your pet friends will have a companion all day everyday for as long as you need! Working from home means I have availability to walk and drop in to see your little darlings too! In my home, I have a fully enclosed garden and have to make sure everything is put away! (Shoes are my puppy’s favourite!) I am very aware of my surroundings with my dog and what is safe for him to eat/not eat! I work full time for myself from home so this allows me a large amount of flexibility regarding my routine. This is a huge benefit to pet owners I help as I can work around your schedule/your pets schedule at ease! If I have any work calls whilst at your home I will let you know timings in advance, but this will not impact your pet sitting/daycare experience in any way! If your pet is coming to my home. He/she will be safe at all times. I won’t leave your pet if that’s what you require and make sure they are safe and well looked after at all times!

“Ella was fantastic. She was the only one that offered a meet up as it was the first time she met us, so I found this reassuring. Willow took to her instantly. She listened well as there were a few specific instructions. Everything went well and Willow hadn’t been stressed, which I can always tell. Willow is reactive and this happened a couple of times but Ella wasn’t phased by this at all. Ella turned up on time on both occasions. Extremely pleased and will definitely be asking Ella again the next time I’m looking for a dog walker. Thank you Ella”
About: I have lived on a farm and looked after various animal breeds throughout my life, which has given me extensive hands on experience and a deep love for all animals. I’ve also adopted elephants in Thailand and worked alongside vets, and I volunteered at a horse and donkey sanctuary while doing my law degree. I can care for all types of pets with confidence, drawing on my knowledge of different breeds and their needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and passionate about providing the best care, always ensuring animals feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I have plenty of free time to care for your animals, whether it’s walking, grooming, companionship, or looking after them while you’re away on holiday. I joined this site a few years ago but never completed all the details. I have now returned to ensure I pursue this work, as my dream is to one day open a sanctuary abroad for dogs, cats, and horses. I offer care for your pets in your home. I live in Shoscombe with my cat and my partner. If needed, I can take your dogs on multiple walks, as I love exercise and I also adore horses too! Any farms are welcome, as I currently have a retired sports horse.

Occasionally Fridays I cannot do, but we can discuss dates etc. I always love walking them and exploring, we spend good time outside :) whatever they need! Cuddles too. We live in the countryside so plenty of space

The average cost for Dog Walking in South Somerset on Rover is £19.55 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,917 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Somerset. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 South Somerset. 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 South Somerset.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
