I highly recommend Karen Lorena. She has always been reliable, punctual, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I’ve consistently found her to be trustworthy and professional, and it gives me real peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.

Leanna very kindly came and met the dogs before their walk. She asked good questions, was really good with Max and Rothko on their walk and did a super job with them.

About: I’ve just moved to Walthamstow with my boyfriend in a lovely flat with outdoor space. I miss having dogs at home - when I lived at my partners house in Oxford we looked after his sisters beagle Lenny for a couple of years and often dog sat for other friends and family members dogs, and had a good stint on borrowmydoggy in London. My partner and I are hoping to get a dog in the next couple of years time but until then I would love to spend a bit more time looking after some lil doggies! I’m available for dog sitting / walking for the majority of week as I work from home most days - can be as flexible as needed. We have 2 bedrooms and an open plan kitchen living room which leads out onto an enclosed safe balcony - we spend most of the time in the living room playing or cuddling.

About: I’m a huge dog lover currently saving up for a pup of my own. In the meantime, I’d keen to be around dogs l for cuddles, walks and relaxed nights in. ​Experience: ​Spent 2 years helping raise and walk an ex-partner’s dog. ​Experience walking rescue dogs (I’m patient with anxious dogs) ​Reliable dog-sitter for family friends and helping my mums older clients. I guess I can be quite shy and quiet around people, but around dogs I feel most at home and comfortable. I work a hybrid job, so I’m home and looking for a furry coworker most days! I’m usually in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I’m wide open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for walks or sits. I am in the ground floor flat with a closed off garden Many blankets for the sofa and armchair so the doggies can sit where they like.

About: I have been looking after friend's and family member's dogs and cats for a number of years but sadly I currently don't have a pet of my own (due to renting) which is why I'm signing up to rover and looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I currently work full time with some days working from home. I have free time in the evenings and weekends to pet sit and am open to doing this either at your home (including popping in and taking for walks etc) or mine and am able to be flexible to you and your pets needs :) I'm open to looking after your pet in whatever way best suits you and them - just let me know more about them and their routine etc :)

About: Having taken on my mothers elderly and hyper-attached Bichon 5 years ago, I have experience with high need dogs, bolstered by years looking after other dogs with my partner Fred. I am currently available to care for your dog all day every day. As Elsie has separation anxiety we never leave dogs unattended and give them all the attention they need. We have a long garden suitable for fetch and zoomies. We have dog beds throughout the house but allow dogs on beds and sofas - if that aligns with their home rules.

About: I really enjoy pets and have respect for all animals. I feel pets are very individual and would tailor care to their needs, whether lots of attention, exercise or play. I know the need for peace of mind entrusting your loved one, and can assure you of responsible, dependable care. I'm currently semi retired so have time to enjoy looking after furry friends, as I know how crucial it is to have someone trustworthy in your home. I walk 10k steps a day so happy to take dogs walking or play with them. If it's an older dog or cat that just wants to chill then that's ok too. I'm used to adapting to different household requirements through my work and being Health & Safety aware, so rest assured your pet will be in safe hands.

About: We’re a dog-loving couple based in Walthamstow, excited to start walking and dog sitting for some local pups! While we’re new to the platform, we bring over 5 years of experience caring for dogs through regular dog sitting for friends and family. We’re confident in looking after dogs of different breeds with a wide range of needs and personalities, from puppies to older dogs. We are both young professionals who work from home, which means your dog will get lots of love, plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. We’re also close to Leyton flats so can take your dog out for extended walks there. We understand that your dog is family and will take the time to understand their routine and preferences. At least one of us works from home at all times so your dog will always get attention and company all day. We work regular hours so will have time for morning, lunch time and evening walks so can adjust based on the amount of exercise your dog needs. On weekends we like being outside so can take your dog on longer walks if this fits their routine. We live in a house on a quiet road with a fenced garden. There’s lots of space so happy to host bigger dogs. We’re near Leyton flats so plenty of outdoor space for longer walks and exercise.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, having grown up in the countryside surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. I’m a reliable, caring, and experienced pet lover who friends and family regularly trust for pet sitting and animal care. For the past four years, I’ve also volunteered with a dog rescue charity in Sussex, fostering rescue dogs until they found their forever homes. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and behavioural needs, including anxious and rescue dogs that require extra patience and understanding. I know every pet is unique, and I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. I am currently able to pet sit at your home or walk your dogs Monday - Sunday and can be super flexible to your needs. I am also available for drop-ins. I am very trustworthy given my experience working with rescue dogs and will look after your pet and home like it’s my own. I am currently unable to have dogs within my own home as we have a cat.

About: We’re Khush and Triv, originally from New Delhi, India, and now living in London. We’re both lifelong dog lovers—Khush grew up with his black Labrador, Bruce, and Triv spent her childhood caring for the local street dogs in her neighbourhood. Even today, whenever we go back home, we still look after the street dogs in Delhi, whether it’s feeding them, giving them cuddles, or just making sure they’re safe. Khush works a 9 to 5 in travel & Triv is a PhD student researching women in sports and also works part-time, but together we give all the time, care, and affection your dogs need. Our hearts are always with our own baby, Joey, whom Khush rescued from a busy street near his office—he’s a huge part of our lives and the reason we love offering care to other dogs too. Here’s the lowdown: Khush works a 9 to 5, Meanwhile, Triv’s a PhD student with a part-time job and a flexible schedule — so with a little notice, we can usually make weekday care work too. Think of us as your dependable (and dog-obsessed) weekend and flexible weekday caretakers! With us, your dogs get all the homey pampering, endless playtime, and plenty of love. It’s all about making your pup’s day awesome! 🐾🐕😊 We’re big believers in safety, trust, and creating a calm, loving environment for every dog we care for. This isn’t just a job for us — we genuinely enjoy it and take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality so they feel safe and loved. We’re very respectful of other people’s homes and always follow instructions carefully, maintain cleanliness, and keep your dog’s familiar routine. Your trust means a lot, and we treat every animal like family. When dogs stay with us, we know it’s a new environment, so we give them plenty of time to settle in, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace. We also make sure they get regular outdoor breaks — usually every 2 hours for a pee or poo. And yes… dogs are welcome on our furniture! We love cuddles on the sofa or bed if that’s what they’re used to. Our home is cosy, warm, and totally dog-friendly — a place where pups can relax, play, and feel right at home. Our goal is simple: a safe, playful, and comforting space where your dog feels secure and happy.

About: Hi my name is Alex! I have lived on a farm for more than 10 years of my life where I took care of dogs, cats and other animals & puppies and kittens. I admire animals hearts and spirit and enjoy their company. I’ve also assisted animals giving birth and helped rescue dogs feel more safe and come out their shell! (My neighbour was a vet so I was very immersed in his work) I’m also a single mother of two; child and my kitten - however I do not tend to have them present around your pet during visits! I would be delighted to meet you and your furry friend :) Have a wonderful day 🌞! (feel free to ask me anything/ what preferences you have) I work only two days a week- Monday and Wednesday; other than that i’m pretty flexible and can happily compromise depending on your circumstances ! I have a flat with fenced garden in the back as well as a park right across from my home. I also am happy to provide blankets/ toy to help feel more comfortable:)

About: As I live alone I often find myself having spare time and would love the company so in a way you’ll be doing me the favour 😊 I’ve looked after all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to cats and dogs. My grandparents always had dogs which I grew up with and have looked after family and friends furry pals too! I’m working from home 2/3 times a week as a designer in ad sales so I’m not in back to back meetings and am able to take breaks as and when needed. I often go to Epping forest at the weekends as it’s only a short trip away! I’m not a big party animal so welcome the company when I can 😊 I welcome clear instructions as to how you want me to look after your loved ones. I always want to make sure they have the best experience and are safe. My flat has a communal outdoor space around it and it’s very secure once you’re in the building you can only be buzzed up. I treat my home with love and care, the same rules apply for anyone else’s
