“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’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember, with my first family dog from when I was 7. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, bringing so much joy. I have been solely responsible for my own dogs and those of friends when living in London, including young puppies. I currently work for home 3 days a week, with Monday and Friday mostly always at home so will be available for long weekends as well as Saturday and Sunday boarding. I am able to be around from 5:30pm for evening walks/sitting on days I am in the office I have a fenced garden and currently no pets of my own. I am happy to take well trained dogs to most environments, and happy to have trained dogs off lead. I live right next to Tottenham marshes and have a car so can drive further for walks, for example we love walking in Epping and Wanstead
About: I have a small dog and I grow up with dogs. I know how to them care for them: from hyper to nervous dogs. I love looking after them and I am happy to also sit in my house I work from home so I can pick up the dogs in the morning or talks them out for a walk when needed. I just need to plan my day in advance. I can have dogs at mine for the whole day as well. I have a fenced garden. My little dog loves the company of other dogs. I works from home so I am flexible with walks. I can pick up the dogs and drop them off.
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.
“Roshni is an excellent dog walker, our dog has immediately felt comfortable with her. She goes above and beyond while making you feel really reassured that your dog is in good hands. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’m based in Walthamstow, living with my boyfriend in a lovely flat with outdoor space. We miss having pets at home - when we lived in Oxford we looked after family and friends pets all the time, and then had a good stint on borrowmydoggy in London. We are hoping to get a pet in the next couple of years but until then love spending time looking after lil cats and doggies! I’m available for pet sitting / dog 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: 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: 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
About: After completing my Animal Management Level 3 Qualification at BCA College, I have taken my experience and used it for the better! I am currently unemployed, and have taken up dog walking/sitting as my own independent business. I have 2 years of experience in Animal Behaviour Management and Animal Welfare — I have had two dogs within my lifetime, to which have sadly passed away. I am enthusiastic, loving, fun and reliable, and will definitely take care of your furry friend! As I am currently unemployed, pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I treat it as a top priority. I plan my days around consistent walking and feeding times, ensuring I am always punctual and dependable. Whether it's a midday walk or an evening check-in, I keep a highly organized schedule so I can give every dog my full, unhurried attention while keeping you updated along the way. Unfortunately, I am not able to take any pets into my own home due to the fact that I have one dog and two cats.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, from energetic dogs who need structured walks to calmer companions. Friends, neighbours and family regularly trust me to walk, feed and look after their dogs while they’re away. I prioritise safety, consistency and making sure each dog feels comfortable and secure. I also offer dog sitting and can care for cats as well, following feeding routines carefully and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m a full-time student with a structured routine, which allows me to offer dog walking and pet sitting after 4pm on weekdays, as well as full availability on weekends. During school holidays, I have much more flexibility and can offer additional daytime care. I’m reliable with scheduling and happy to arrange regular weekly walks or occasional bookings. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits in the owner’s home. I prioritise safety on every walk, using secure leads and staying attentive to surroundings at all times. During visits, I carefully follow feeding routines, refresh water, provide playtime and ensure pets feel calm and comfortable in their own environment. I respect each home as if it were my own and provide regular updates and photos for reassurance.
About: I’ve looked after dogs since I was a child. Growing up, I have always been around dogs and was responsible for walking, grooming and feeding my family dogs. Since moving to London I have consistently looked after friends’ dogs and dogs on dog sitting apps. I am confident walking dogs on and off-lead, and love spending time with them. I have a flexible working arrangement so can plan my day around your dog’s needs. I will be able to give lots of attention and care to your pets. I live in a flat with a large garden. Dogs are welcome to sleep on our comfy spacious sofa as well as on our bed. They will have free roam of the flat.
About: Hello! I have had pets most of my life, and know the special role they play in a happy home and the importance of finding someone you trust to look after them. I have several years experience of pet sitting and dog walking and would love to get to know your pet. I am currently on a career break, so have lots of time to care for pets in my neighbourhood. I am a keen walker and would love to enjoy the outdoors with your dog! I will care for your pet in line with their usual routine and diet, and will take time with you in advance to learn their likes, dislikes and quirks.
“Asha was amazing with Sasa. Initially she was a little nervous given Sasa’s demeanour, but she persevered and with a bit of cajoling, she mentioned to get Sasa on her lead they went off for a lovely walk. I’m looking forward to asking Asha to help with Sasa in future.”

Asha was amazing with Sasa. Initially she was a little nervous given Sasa’s demeanour, but she persevered and with a bit of cajoling, she mentioned to get Sasa on her lead they went off for a lovely walk. I’m looking forward to asking Asha to help with Sasa in future.
This is the second time I’ve booked Kerri for a straight period of time, twice daily, and she has done an amazing job. Cosmo was cared for with patience, dedication and a kind but firm hand. Kerri always spent a little extra time brushing him and ensuring Cosmo had everything he needed. Highly recommended.
Patrick is lovely and came over to hang out with Monty briefly before starting to walk him. He was dead flexible when we needed him to be (eg. came 20 mins earlier at short notice) and Monty seems to really like him. He’s offered to have him over night if we need it, which may prove really helpful—we think he’d be great for that, so walking’s a no-brainer! Works in schools so maybe I’m a soft touch as a teacher, but generally a good sign in itself I find :) Recommend!
Slavina was fantastic! Her communication was perfect and Jasper loved her. She even agreed to meet up a day before so her and Jasper could meet and on one of the days she spent extra time with him taking him to play with other dogs. Couldn’t recommend her enough !
Daniel and his partner helped us out with very short notice and were very courteous and polite! We can’t thank them enough for looking after Clemmie and so well and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog walkers! Thank you! Adam, Livia and Alice.
Overall great, Bruno looked after my dog cookie 3 times, took good care of her and really loved her, she had a great time with him. Couple issues with a breakage in my home and slightly late but always communicated well and even sent me videos with training tips. Bruno definitely loves dogs and is reliable and polite, most importantly my dog was well cared for

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 Waltham Forest. 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 Waltham Forest.
