About: I've always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve to be treated like part of the family. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they love long walks, playing, or simply having company and cuddles. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away, keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be worrying, so I'll always provide the same love, care, and attention that I'd want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is in kind, capable hands and having a wonderful time. Alongside working part-time as a hairdresser, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, companionship, and ensure your dog gets the love and care they deserve without ever feeling rushed. At the moment, I'm offering dog walking and drop-in visits. As I have a dog of my own at home, I'm unable to provide boarding or doggy day care right now.
“Ivan has been brilliant - excellent communication, reliable, trustworthy and punctual. When he came for the meet and greet, he engaged really well with Snoopy, getting to know him and playing in the garden. I had full trust that Snoopy would be happy and safe with Ivan. I would highly recommend Ivan and will continue to use his services on a regular basis. Thanks!”
“Frances was very professional right from the meet and greet with cooper and kept us informed every day about his walk sending pictures and pupdates we will definitely be using her again.”
“Jamie has been great with Billy. He has accommodated our needs and Billy seems very happy when I get home. He is getting good social time with other dogs! Billy will continue with Jamie long term. We are very impressed.”
About: £30 first booking with code KELLYT04221 I have a Labrador who I have trained and loved for 7 years. Dog and cat sit for my whole family. Want to give something back to those that need help. I understand how hard it is to find reliable sitters, day care, walkers or just someone to let them out during the day. I am a registered nurse who works shifts so I have different days off a week so I can be flexible to offer service. I don’t work weekends I have a secure garden with a very well behaved Labrador who has been exposed to many different breeds at daycare herself so I can offer a safe loving environment.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, including rescue dogs, and have always loved their different personalities and characters. I offer boarding, daycare, dog walking and drop-in visits. We have a calm, family home with a secure fenced garden, and dogs are welcome to free-roam and make themselves at home. I work from home, so they’ll have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. We enjoy long country walks and love having dogs join us on our adventures. We also have a playful miniature dachshund who loves having friends to play with! My 6-year-old son is a big dog lover and understands the importance of giving dogs space and respecting their boundaries. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with lots of love, care and attention. 🐶❤️ I work from home, and my partner is also home during the day, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention. We enjoy regular walks, from shorter walks around the block and trips to the local field, to longer countryside adventures exploring woodlands, fields and parks. Our longer walks are usually an hour or more. We’re a very active family and love getting outdoors, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, play and exploring, as well as plenty of time to relax at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are really important to us. We have a secure, fenced garden and a calm, family home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Our miniature dachshund is friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your dog will have a companion during their stay. We always respect each dog’s individual personality, space and boundaries. We want every dog to feel comfortable, cared for and part of the family while they’re with us. 🐶❤️
“Best dog sitter ever! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lizzie did an amazing job looking after my boisterous husky. It was obvious that she has personal experience with big dogs as she knew exactly how to handle him and adapted to meet his needs. I felt confident booking because of her animal behaviour qualifications. I’ll definitely book again. Thanks Lizzie.”
“Kashia came to visit us before walking my dogs to see them and I thought this was lovely and very kind and thoughtful. Me and my husband were out of the country and knowing she was very thorough made us feel at ease. Every walk we had pictures to look at and a description of how they were and we felt like we knew what they had been up to. Thank you”
About: I’ve just completed a 2 year animal management course at Askham Bryan College. I have experience working at a dog kennels, a dog training club and a doggy daycare! I have always loved animals, I don’t remember a time I haven’t had some kind of pet. I feel confident with different breeds of dogs and can work with any specialised needs they may have. I also feel comfortable looking after cats (I have 4 of my own and have past experience cat sitting). I’m currently completing a college course, it is only 1 day in person a week - the rest is online. This means my schedule is very flexible. The only day I need to be out is Thursdays from 9.30am to 4.30pm. I have lots of experience with animals, from my personal life and from college and work experience. College has helped me identify and understand safety risks and safety measures to take, including following legislation to protect both animals and people.
About: Me and my wife Katy are a dog-loving family with real, hands-on experience — not just with easy dogs. Our beagle Oscar (12) has been with us for 6 years. He's a committed food thief, so we're well used to keeping counters, bins, and pockets secure, and he's trained in sit, down, stand, leave it, recall, and roll over. Our husky Amber (4) has been with us for 3 years — she's an attention seeker, but that doesn't faze us; we know dogs like her just need someone happy to give them the engagement they're after. We usually walk our own dogs at lunchtime and after tea, but we're happy to adapt to whatever routine suits your dog best — whether that's their usual feeding times, walk schedule, or any specific habits they're used to. Both our own dogs are on specific food regimes, so we're used to weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule — it's something we look for in other carers too, so you can trust us to follow your instructions diligently, right down to the last gram. We also have a 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time. I'm currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of flexibility and availability during the week. Pet care fits easily into my day — whether it's a lunchtime walk, an evening routine, or being on hand throughout the day for feeding, play, and company. I'm not juggling a 9-5, so I can give your dog consistent attention and stick closely to whatever schedule they're used to. In my own home, dogs benefit from a secure 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time, a settled routine, and the same care I give my own two dogs — Oscar (12, beagle) and Amber (4, husky). My own dogs sleep in the kitchen overnight, but I'm happy to adapt sleeping arrangements to suit your dog's needs and what they're used to at home. I pay close attention to feeding, weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule if needed, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions around diet, medication, or habits. For walks, I usually go out at lunchtime and after tea, but I'm flexible and happy to fit around what your dog is used to. In a pet owner's home, I follow the same principles — sticking to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any training cues they respond to (like sit, down, leave it, or recall), so the visit feels as familiar and low-stress as possible for them.
“Liam has walked our dog a couple of times now and takes good care of him. He sends photos of him on walks and Hamish always looks really happy to see him. He even thought to bring a towel with him when it was raining!”
About: I have lived on a small holding my whole life, caring for various animals including domestic, farm, and exotic pets. I have been part of the Riding for Disabled and 4 the Love of Cats (charity), as well as having experience in training Police dogs and horses. I care for my parents three dogs (two Golden Retrievers and a Cocker Spaniel) at their home when they go away on holiday. I am currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pets at any time of the day or night, other than Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I am happy to travel anywhere within my 10 mile working radius as I have a car, and can even take your pet out on a nature trip so long as they travel well. I am flexible in my care and can abide by any rules and schedules you set as long as you write it down for me.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life and treat our pets as one of the family. I currently don’t have a pet of my own so love dogsitting and I care for my family’s dogs often. I have lots of experience caring for dogs of all ages and various sizes and breeds (puppies to old age, toy poodles to huge labradors). Happy to do short and long stays, including walks, feeding, giving medication, bathing when needed etc. and of course lots of cuddles and play time as suits I have also looked after a couple of dogs previously through a similar app and over 20 bookings through rover with many repeat customers I work flexibly so please message as can sometimes move my working days to accommodate Rover bookings I currently work part time during the week flexibly so sometimes work from home and have non-working days where I am available. Also available most weekends and happy to change my plans where possible I have a small garden which is fully fenced in but I am also happy walking dogs regularly as needed and have long nature spots for walks close to my house. I will look after your pet as if they were my own but also follow instructions closely as I know every pet and pet family is different
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has a lovable 11-year-old Labrador whom I helped train from puppyhood — from basic commands to good leash manners. We also shared 18 wonderful years with a gentle British Shorthair cat, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats at every life stage. Whether it’s energetic playtime, patient training, or quiet cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and care I’ve given my own for decades. Because I work from home, your pet gets my full attention all day. I can easily fit in frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and walks, and I’m always around for company and cuddles. My flexible schedule means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, midday training, or late-night check-ins. Having pets around while I work makes my day better, and I love giving them the same care, patience, and companionship I’ve given my own over the years Whether your pet is staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’re used to. In my home, I make sure there’s plenty of space to play, cozy spots for naps, and a safe, calm environment. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure and happy. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things consistent — from their favorite walk routes to the way they like their food prepared. My goal is to make every visit or stay feel like home, so your furry friend stays relaxed, loved, and well-cared for.
“I booked Kim to walk my rescue dog Nay, Nay has had a really tough life with lots of nervousness around people and other dogs. I was really impressed that Kim not only suggested a meet & greet but also a trial walk with herself and myself to ensure all went well. I felt really at ease with Kim she knew how to get Nay to respond on our trial walk, Nay was completely focused on her the entire time and the usual chaos walk I’m used to was completely different. I was more than happy to then let Kim and Nay go off together and enjoy there walk. Nay came back exhausted and happy she even tried to follow Kim to the car to go home with her. I’ve never known her to take to someone so well and I now can be at ease knowing Nay is being walked while I’m at work by someone who is so easily to get along with. Very friendly young woman with lots of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. I had to change the time at short notice and Kim made me feel like it was no trouble at all. I would recommend her without a doubt.”
“Sarah is an absolute gem! 💎 our dog runa is such a huge fan already and I’m so excited that we chose Sarah to look after our girl when we get married in November ! 100% recommend xx”

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 Wakefield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
