About: I’ve been a dog mum for the last 15 years, and I have always had a love for looking after other dogs. It brings me so much joy to look after and play with pups. I’ve cared for dogs in all different stages of life, so I know how to make your dog feel totally welcomed, comfortable and at ease. I also have experience in administering medicines, so I can cater to any of your pups medical needs, dietary requirements or any senior dogs needs. CURRENTLY AWAY UNTIL 23RD FEB- but am free for bookings anytime after that! if you need any walking, sitting, or boarding- let me know :) cant wait to meet your pups! First time users, use my code: ELLIYC68185 I work on a freelance basis, mainly from home. So I’m available most days in the week to look after your pups! My routine is very flexible, so I can shape my day around your dog's usual schedule, needs and requirements. I know how important it is to make sure you feel that your pup is in safe and loving hands. They are your babies and I want to ensure that they will be looked after properly and that they have a fantastic stay at mine. I’ll be sending lots of pics throughout the day to make sure you can see how your little one is doing. I’m also always connected so if you have any questions, concerns or queries then I am always able to respond instantly.
“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.”
About: I have been looking after friend's and family member's dogs and cats for a number of years :) 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 (including walks) and am open to doing this either at your home or outside, I'm very 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 :)
“Great second meet with Evan and he took Schnickles for a walk. Evan was calm and with plenty of patience which got Schnickles to walk with no problem. Will be using Evan again”
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: 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’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've grown up with pets (dogs, bunny and guineapig) and love all kinds of animals. I enjoy long dog walks and spending time in the nature. I'm freelance designer and might have months off between projects. During these periods I could pet sit full time, and doggos can enjoy my full attention and the outdoors in my garden between walks. I have a decent size fenced garden for toilet breaks between walks. The Hollow Ponds is about ten minutes from my flat and perfect for long walks.
“Nicky is great! She is easy to communicate with and punctual, and was kind enough to accommodate me when I had to change our agreed time at the last minute. General loved her right away!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have two very friendly dogs of my own, Pugsy and Humphrey, who absolutely love having other dogs come to stay. Our home is very dog-friendly and we enjoy having extra furry guests around. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, company, and walks throughout the day. We’re lucky to live in Walthamstow with lots of great green spaces nearby — we often head out for walks around Chestnut Fields, Lloyd Park, and Hollow Ponds, which dogs always seem to love exploring. Our dogs are also cat-friendly, so I’m happy to look after cats as well. I’d just suggest they’re cats that are already comfortable around dogs so everyone feels relaxed and safe. I treat every pet like part of the family and always aim to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just a cosy place to relax, your pet will be in loving hands. I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so your dog can meet Pugsy and Humphrey and everyone feels comfortable. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I work with a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with the dogs throughout the day. We go out for lots of walks and make the most of the green spaces around Walthamstow. At home I have a lazy pug and a much more energetic terrier mix, so I’m very used to balancing different energy levels — whether that’s relaxed strolls, park adventures, or cosy downtime. I try to keep dogs to their usual routines as much as possible so they feel comfortable and settled. I do have a garden, but we usually spend more time out walking or visiting nearby parks so dogs get plenty of stimulation and exercise. Safety is very important to me — I never let dogs off the lead unless this has been clearly agreed with the owner. I’m happy to follow any routines or training approaches you already use. For extra peace of mind, I also keep spare AirTags that I can attach to a collar during walks should it ever be needed. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is getting on and relax knowing they’re having a lovely time.
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:)
“Roshni was absolutely incredible with our pups, Sassy and Prinny! Roshni was highly communicative and so vigilant while walking them, especially impressive given that we contacted them at the last minute due to our regular dog walker being injured. We’re extremely grateful for their care and professionalism. We couldn’t have asked for better support and would wholeheartedly recommend their services.”
About: We have lovingly cared for our two toy poodles for over ten years. Rainbow and Sylvia have always been at the forefront of our lives. Rainbow recently passed away at the age of 15, leaving Sylvia in need of a new friend to spend time with during the day, both at home and on walks in the park. We welcome all types of dogs and provide a comfortable, caring environment for them to share with Sylvia. Your pet will receive full-time attention and enjoy regular park outings right at our doorstep. My partner and I have full-time jobs with flexible co-working arrangements that allow us to work from home. During the workweek, at least one of us will always be home to keep our toy poodle, Sylvia, company. With Lloyds Park right at our doorstep, Sylvia and any dog we care for will enjoy frequent visits to the park. When not out and about, they can relax and make themselves comfortable in our warm, inviting home. We have a first-floor flat with a small outdoor balcony. Living very close to Lloyds Park allows us to take dogs out for nice walks as many times as needed. Sylvia, our toy poodle, enjoys three walks a day in the park, and in between, she loves to relax on the couch or her giant dog bed..
About: I’m Emma, mum to a staffie called Shiloh (featured in my picture). I love long walks and I’m an attentive dog sitter who can give your dog the attention they need. I’m great with reactive and nervous dogs. Get in touch walks, drop-ins, weekends and overnight stays. I’m currently a freelance professional with plenty of available time. On days I’m not working I can fit in early walks or long 2 hour walks. Also available for drop ins Sadly I can’t care for other dogs in my own home as my dog Shiloh is a bundle of energy and gets overly excited around other dogs.

Justine has been such a pleasure to work with. Not only is she kind and communicative, but my dog looks forward to going to her place for day care. She has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the idea of leaving him. She also has so much experience with dogs and it is really evident in the way that she handles them. I am so glad to have found Justine.
Asha is great with my dog Leon. He can be quite nervous with new people but Asha has been patient and managed to become friends with him very quickly! Asha is a great communicator, very friendly and amazing with dogs, I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pet/s
I can’t recommend Johnny enough! He looked after Hero for a full week while I was away, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more caring person. From the very beginning, Johnny was warm, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Hero absolutely adored him — I could tell he was genuinely happy, relaxed, and well looked after the whole time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Hero was in such good hands. You are now responsible that I have to buy myself skates ha. Thank you, Johnny, for taking such great care of Hero and making him so happy. I would trust you again in a heartbeat!
Holly has been a great dog walker for my friendly but distractable and sometimes stubborn dog Judy. She's been very patient with her and willing to adapt to her needs. Holly is very reliable, always on time, I can strongly recommend her for anyone who needs some help walking their dog!
Valentina has been a super dog walker! She has been helpful and very kind, I felt Frida was safe with her. She has been extremely available with all my requests and she was sending me updates with pictures every time. I am so glad I found her! Definitely recommended xx
Edouard and his friend took such great care of Avery. She was calm when she returned and I could tell she had a great time. They took her out for a puppucino and sent me photos to update me without me asking. He was flexible with the time and arrived much earlier than the planned time. Would highly recommend his service.
Mikee is a wonderful dog walker. Snow, my sweet cheeks, can sometimes be reactive when seeing other dogs. Mikee is absolutely wonderful in managing the walk and giving her a fun time. He send lots of updates, exercised her really well and kept me posted with plenty of happy dog pictures. So so happy I found Mikee. My number 1 dog walker :)!
Highly recommend! As to be expected, Roshni was amazing with Sassy and Prinny. They were incredibly prompt and showed such a kind, caring nature toward the puppies. I needed some last-minute care for the dogs, and they stepped in seamlessly. It’s such a relief knowing the dogs are in good hands!
