About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who have just undergone serious medical procedures and puppies, so I have a range of experience that allows me to provide the right care for your friend. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my zero-hour hospitality job, meaning I can dedicate lots of time to looking after your pet. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and being outdoors, so I’d love the opportunity to include your dog in my routine. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’d love to provide your pet with plenty of care, companionship, and attention, whether that means exciting walks, playtime, comforting company, or regular check-ins. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.

David was absolutely fantastic with Chicken! From the moment they met, it was clear that he has a natural gift with dogs. Chicken can sometimes take a little time to warm up to new people, but David immediately put him at ease with his calm, patient, and friendly approach. It was incredibly reassuring to see how comfortable and relaxed Chicken was in his care. David went above and beyond what you’d expect from a dog walker. He was attentive, reliable, and genuinely invested in making sure Chicken had a wonderful experience. It’s obvious that he truly understands dogs—their personalities, their needs, and how to build trust with them. When Chicken came back, he was happy, content, and clearly had a great time. What really stood out was David’s ability to make both dog and owner feel completely confident and comfortable. Knowing that Chicken was in such capable and caring hands gave me total peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism, kindness, and such a genuine love for animals so effortlessly. I couldn’t recommend David more highly. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, make them feel safe and loved, and provide exceptional care every step of the way, David is simply outstanding.

About: I have experience with dogs who are anxious and resource guard so I know how to handle them in the safest way for both of us. I’ve also had two puppies personally that I have looked after and contributed to training so am well versed in younger dogs too. I’m an artist who works from home with occasional work days out so I can fit looking after your pets around my schedule, therefore I am available all week :) I can adapt pet sitting to whatever suits your needs, whether that’s taking them for walks, playing with them or simply checking in and giving them company.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 15 and plenty of experience with different breeds and ages including chihuahua puppies, senior staffies and rescue bulldogs. I can no longer have dogs full time myself so I would love to be able to care/love for others. I drive which means I am able to travel to your pets as and when needed. I currently work from home as a nail tech and a 4 year old who goes to school so I have plenty of time spare to spend with the animals I care for. I live in a duplex (a house in a low rise block) with 2 large balconies and a communal garden. I live right on the water where lots of people walk their dogs and a crate available if needed.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.

About: My experience is all personal. I have been a cat mama for 8 years now and I feel like they have taken me through the highs and lows of motherhood. From the depths of despair you feel when they're unwell or don't come home one night, to the joys of seeing them journey through anxiety and timidness to confidence and assertion. I do not have personal experience with dogs unfortunately, but I love and respect all animals and am confident enough to care for small and medium dogs. I work part-time and, therefore, have lots of free time to assist you in caring for your fur babies. My schedule changes week to week, but on average I work 2 days per week (predominantly week days). To care for your animals in your home I will be led by your instruction. I will want you to outline your expectations... after all, you know your pets better than I do! With expectations communicated I will deliver the highest level of care and respect, to your pets and your home.

About: I have a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and I completed work experience at a doggy day care, where I helped supervise group play, assist with feeding, cleaning, and making sure dogs are safe and comfortable. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more nervous dogs. At the moment, I offer dog walking and always make sure each dog gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and care. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I’m currently doing work experience at a doggy day care, but I have flexible availability for dog walking. I’m available most weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times to find something that works best for you and your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Through my day care experience, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, manage different temperaments, and keep dogs safe during walks and interactions. I always use secure leads, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I have been dog sitting for 5 years now and love it. I have a big country park very close so my dogs get plenty of exercise and even a swim in the lake if it's hot enough. I'm available 24/7 but as I'm not driving at the moment it's hard to be available for more then 2 drop ins a day, but that's depends on distance to travel. My garden is well fenced off and save, dog friendly home. When my regular dogs come over they're so happy to see me and I can't wait to see them too, I think that shows how much fun we both have. I treat each dog as I would my own, Peace of mind is very important.

Daria has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Puffy. She’s so calm, patient, and genuinely kind, which made such a difference as Puffy felt comfortable with her straight away. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she looks after and handles everything with such a gentle, reassuring approach. I always feel at ease knowing Puffy is in such safe and caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and lovely dog walker

FAQs for Dog Walking – Thurrock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Thurrock on Rover is £18.4 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 21,498 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Thurrock. 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 Thurrock. 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 Thurrock.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

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.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find Walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 87% of Walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 21,498 Walkers in Thurrock, 47% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
