About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care. I have spent the last 5 years riding and training horses professionally am really passionate about all things animals ! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work as a professional rider and spend much of my day caring for and working with horses, which has given me extensive experience handling animals and maintaining consistent care routines. My schedule can vary depending on training and horse show commitments, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date and am often available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and always will be. Animals are my passion and love to help them out whenever I can. I have been walking dogs since the age of 15. I also love to jog and bike ride with dogs. I always make sure to carry toys and treats with me to make the dog's experience just as enjoyable! I currently have two dogs of my own around 60 lbs each. One of my dogs is a high anxiety, high energy pup. Working with her has been a challenge but has only furthered my love and knowledge for dogs. If you have any questions please message me anytime! I am available when you are. I own two dogs of my own as well as a ferret. Pet care is part of my routine every day, all day. Pets are a full time job and I enjoy the work. I currently work full time from home but will be able to accommodate your pet needs.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and always have gravitated towards animals since I was a child. I have the most experience with dogs (from dachshunds to labs) but have watched cats from time to time as well. I will do everything in my power to give your pet the best care possible. I have experience with long/short walks, play time (ball throwing etc), cleaning up after animals, and having patience with them! I am available most afternoons after 1pm during the week until 9pm. In terms of weekends, I have free time with notice (3 days notice), mornings/afternoons/nights. I am also willing to work with you if these times do not work. I consider pets to be apart of the family. I have always treated my pets with respect, along with asserting dominance as I am the owner. I always show my love and affection while making sure they know I am in charge.

About: I am a previous Veterinary Technician looking for some extra play time with your animals! I have had animals my entire life, whether it be reptiles, dogs or cats & have had experience with other animals as well. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, and even have experience with special needs and rescue animals. I can offer drop ins, walks & overall pet care for your animal. Drop ins would include potty breaks, play time, feeding (if needed) & making sure water bowls are full. Walks would include a 20-30 minute walk (depending on the weather) with play time & feeding (if needed) & changing water bowl as well. I am open to working with all kinds of animals & promise to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! 😊 I am currently a student and will be on break for the summer, so my schedule is pretty open. I’m also an artist so I am able to make my own hours around a client’s needs! As a Vet Technician, it’s always important to think of the animal in your care as your own. That’s something I’ve always tried to do to make myself, the animal and the owner as comfortable as possible. I always have lots of open communication and send lots of photos to the owner to build trust!

About: I have had a passion for animals since I was little! I love meeting new furry faces and making friends! Snuggles and belly rubs are a must! I bring treats with me to work for all the pups I see on my route! If it’s nice out, I enjoy running around outside or going on hikes. If it gets cooler, I prefer stretching out on the couch. Car rides are always welcome! Visits to the dog park are fun too! Even if they’re safe off leash, I’ll always keep them on leash to prevent any accidents! Muzzled or non-muzzled, I’ll be happy! If you have a list of what they need for food or other supplies, I should be able to follow it no problem!

About: I'm a stay-at-home parent with a flexible schedule and a love for dogs (and cats and horses and so on😸). I offer dependable dog walks and daily check-ins to help keep your pup happy and cared for while you're away. I'm professional, experienced, and always focused on providing safe, attentive care. Since my kids sometimes join me on walks, I ask that your dog is comfortable around children and strollers. Whether it's a daily stroll or a quick drop-in, you can count on me for reliable, thoughtful pet care. I can administer medication, drive to and from the park, and give a good brushing if needed. I am available most days, and can work around anyone's schedule. Even on little league days, you can count on a drop in or a quick stroll! I offer rides too and from the park or my own fenced in yard, I will ALWAYS keep your dog on a lead and return them to their crate if need be.

About: Not only did I grow up around dogs (one of my own and many neighbors’ dogs who I helped sit for), but I am also currently a proud dog mom to five medium-to-large dogs who are my entire life, some of whom I’ve raised from 8 weeks all the way through senior-hood. I have fostered over a dozen other dogs in addition to my own of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for dogs with both medical and behavioral issues as well. I work from home four days a week with minimal meetings and plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I don’t travel for my job. I do have commitments some evenings after 4pm. I have a fenced yard and very friendly dogs who would love to have a playmate! I also have two spare bedrooms to keep dogs separate if they need their own space or some quiet time. I have plenty of dog-safe brain teasers and puzzles to get their brains working as well. I do triathlons in my spare time and love to go for walks/runs with pups too!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Barkhamsted

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Barkhamsted on Rover is $13.91 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,187 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Barkhamsted. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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-on-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 Barkhamsted. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood 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, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Barkhamsted.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barkhamsted. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
