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.

“Liv is a lovely sitter who has shown genuine care for my little puppy since the very first time meeting. It’s so re-assuring knowing that my dog will be looked after with great care and enthusiasm when I can’t be with her, and I get loads of updates from the time they spend together which is really nice.”

About: My experience with pet care started years ago by spending time with friends’ dogs of all shapes and sizes. Since this spring (as I started working remotely), I’ve been dog sitting in London more regularly, which has given me the chance to spend meaningful time with different breeds (but mostly Cockapoos), personalities, and energy levels. I currently work from home 99.99% of the time, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs I care for. I am based in Walthamstow and there are a few nice parks around where I can bring your pup for a walk. For long stays, I am happy to go for 2-3 walks a day (morning, afternoon and evening). In terms of feeding, I would follow your instructions. Your pet will never be left alone - I’m always nearby to give them attention and care. I live in a three-room flat. We’re also lucky to have several lovely parks close by, perfect for daily walks and fresh-air adventures. I’ll happily keep you updated with photos as often as you’d like, and if I’m ever uncertain about anything, I’ll check in with you right away to make sure your pup’s routine and comfort are always prioritized.

“Eduardo is amazing! Reliable, caring, and great with animals. He took the time to understand my cat’s personality and gave her all the time she needed to warm up to him. My cat was happy and well cared for, and Eduardo kept me updated the whole time. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Katy! Dogs have always been a big part of my life — I grew up surrounded by them and have loved helping care for the family pets from a young age. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs whenever they’ve needed an extra hand, whether that’s for walks, playtime, or cuddles at home. I’ve lived with Tibetan Terriers and Bichon Frises, so I’m confident with washing, grooming, and keeping pups looking (and feeling!) their best. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and training levels, from playful puppies to older companions, and I know how to command their attention and encourage good behavior in a kind and patient way. More recently, I’ve been involved in helping train my mum’s two new puppies, so I’m very familiar with the ups and downs of puppyhood — and I truly enjoy the process of helping them learn and grow. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the park, or some well-deserved belly rubs, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. Although I work full-time I work from home twice a week and am available throughout the weekend. For longer stays my office is also dog friendly so they'd be able to come with me to work and wouldn't have to stay at home alone. I'm active and enjoy walking which is always more fun when you have a dog to keep you company. I also have a car and would be more than happy to take them out to forests or beaches if your dog loves a longer walk! I live in a first floor flat with plenty of space for dog beds/crates, whatever your dog needs. I have a small fenced back garden accessed from the kitchen with a small lawn for your dog to explore. If I'm staying at your property I'll follow your and your pets usual routine and take them to all their favourite places.

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 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.

“Is always worried letting someone you don’t know into your home, that said as soon as I meet Sophie that went out of the window!

Am so happy to have found her there is no doubt Sophie will be looking after Rio again and again I’ll give Sophie 6 ⭐️VERY CLEAN TRAY AREA 🙏”

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 absolutely love caring for animals and always treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to get to know their personality and routines, so whether your pet is shy and gentle, full of beans, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from playful one-year-olds to senior dogs needing special attention. I’ve cared for blind dogs and pets with allergies, so I understand how important it is to be attentive to their unique health and comfort needs. I’m also comfortable administering medication if required, and always approach each furry friend with calmness and care. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, from the playful and affectionate Bernese Mountain Dog, to the high-energy and alert nature of hunting dogs like Pointers and Greyhounds, to the sweet (and sometimes stubborn!) personalities of smaller breeds like Beagles and Cavalier Spaniels. Each one has taught me something new, and I genuinely love getting to know their quirks and routines. If your pet is staying overnight, I’ll make sure you feel connected and reassured with regular updates, photos, and videos. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’ve also worked as a sitter on other platforms and would be happy to provide references upon request. Caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s something I love. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the same level of care and affection I’d want for my own :) I work from home, so I’m very flexible and able to give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to host them at my home, where they’ll have a secure garden to enjoy and a calm space to relax in. If you’re away for a few days, I’ll follow their usual routine, including walk times, feeding, and any special needs, to keep things familiar and stress-free. You’ll also receive regular photo updates for peace of mind while you're away. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so they’ll have my full attention. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, and they’ll also have access to a secure fenced garden for play and fresh air.

“Isabel has been excellent, she has great availability and has been very reliable! Isabel communicates very well and has put our minds at ease that Rudi is in safe hands!!”

About: Hi, I’m Ellie, a young professional living in Walthamstow. I love dogs and cats but can’t have my own pet at the moment so I’m looking for a way to spend more time with animals. I grew up with cats and dogs (including border collies and golden retrievers) so have 15+ years experience of caring for pets and walking dogs. I regularly pet sit for family and friends, including my parent’s two boisterous border collies, cats, and chickens! I’m new to Rover but have been successfully pet and house sitting through another site. Please feel free to drop me a message with any questions on my services! About me: I work remotely from my home in Walthamstow so I am quite flexible with my time. I also love going out for walks and spending time in nature so would love a companion! As I work remotely, I could work from your home to care for your pets all day (as long as you have reliable Wi-Fi) or drop in to check on your pet or take your dog for a walk depending on your preference. I would also be happy to house sit for you and your pets overnight if you are going on holiday. I can’t currently care for pets in my home as I live in rented accommodation, but would show the utmost care and respect for your home and pets. I have excellent reviews for my services from another pet sitting platform to illustrate this which I would be happy to share with you.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for the last 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets and I’ve also dog sat for other families. I’m currently working 3/4 days a week at home so I have plenty of time to take care of a dog. I have a garden and also live near some lovely parks. I have a gated garden at the back off the property and I’m really close to the lovely Lloyd park. I live alone and have a cosy flat that your dog can make feel like home.

“Nickie was communicative, professional and looked after Ralphie during an evening drop in. I will definitely book again if needed :)”

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.

About: 10th of May 2025 I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog after 15.5 wonderful years together. It was an incredibly difficult time, as we shared so much life and routine, but I’m forever grateful for the experience and the bond we had. Over those years, I gained valuable hands-on experience in pet care, including looking after a senior dog with patience, love, and understanding. I know first-hand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after our pets — I’ve had to make that decision myself in the past. That’s why I approach every animal in my care with the same level of love and responsibility I gave to my own. I’m a true animal lover and currently help my neighbours with their dog, which has been a rewarding way to keep up with my daily walks — something I truly missed after losing my dog. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or slow strolls, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently unemployed with lots of time looking after pets. It would be great to fill this time with taking care of animals, feel free to reach out. I live in a house with a garden where your dog could play. Garden is fenced and secure to keep dogs away from running away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood and spent years as the designated pet sitter in my friendship circles. Although my job means I can’t have a dog or a cat full time, I’m able to offer flexible support for owners who are in the office, travelling, heading out for a date night or simply need an extra pair of hands. I’m experienced with: • Small breeds that need warmth and reassurance • Dachshund spine protection and safe play • Floppy-eared breeds prone to ear irritation and infections • Dogs and cats with long or high-maintenance coats • Dogs and cats on a special diet or specific feeding schedule • Senior pets with slower routines or need of medication I’ve cared for Dachshunds, Labradors, Yorkies, a Cocker Spaniel, a Cockapoo, a French Bulldog, a Mini Pinscher, a Boxer and a number of cats. I adapt to each pet’s age, routine and temperament whether that means gentle walks, active play or calm company at home. Before London I had my own Dachshund for over ten years. So I understand how much personality, love and mischief can fit into a small dog. I’ve also supported ageing pets through mobility changes and even pet dementia, so I understand how routines may shift over time. Whether you need daytime company, walks or overnight care, your pet will be treated with warmth, patience and attention to their individual needs. I'm currently doing project based work from home. So I can fit around your needs and availability - week days and evenings, weekends, overnight care at your home or mine. I live in a court with fenced garden. My flat has a separete entrance and a flight of stairs leading to the first floor. But I'd be happy to carry your pup up and down until I get a ramp. I also floor runners, a rug and carpets so the floors won't be slippery fpr doggy paws. Finally, I have a stool that flips and turns into a ramp to help dogd get on the couch.
