About: We aim to provide a happy and safe environment for your dog with activities and walks they will enjoy and ensure they are happy and content. I have many years experience with my own and other peoples dogs, having lived with dogs from 6 years old and having my first dog walking business at 13. As every dog is different I will listen to you and be guided by how you would like me to take care of your dog and try to ensure that they have a safe, loving and fun experience. I currently work part-time from home with flexible hours, so will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog. We have many beautiful areas to enjoy walks nearby. We have a fenced garden and a friendly loving dog to keep your dog company. I am confident with crating your dog if needed and am happy with administrating medicines if required.

About: I have my own fox red labrador who we have raised since a puppy to be a very lovely and well mannered dog, I am very proud of her (and myself!) I attended puppy classes with her so have some basic skills in training and understanding of dog behaviour. This has sparked a passion for all dogs (yes I am the annoying woman that talks to them all!) I have walked dogs including a big bouncy golden retriever and a nervous collie mix. I am a registered volunteer with an animal charity for dog walking/pet sitting and am first aid trained. I now have time during the week and some weekends and evenings and would like to dedicate them to your dogs and other pets. I can sometimes be available at short notice. Ideally I would want a free meet and greet first to make sure your dog and I are going to be best mates :) I have at least one week day off per week and some working from home days which will allow me to do some dog walks during the week. I also have some weekends. My own dog is very socialised if you wanted a friend for yours I'd be happy to arrange a meet to see if they could be walked together. I care for pets according to your instruction and their routine. Dog walks are always on lead in the first instance, if you are happy for your dog to be off lead I will only do this once we have build trust and a bond that means this is safe.

I have a fenced garden with no pets and live very close to a large park, perfect for walks. I have flexible working hours so can meet all required schedules for your dogs!

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experience caring for my own dog and have always been very hands-on when it comes to feeding, walking, playing, keeping them comfortable and giving them plenty of attention. I’m a caring, patient and responsible person, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m happy to follow owners’ instructions closely, whether that means sticking to specific walking routines, meal times, medication or simply giving your dog lots of cuddles and reassurance. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy and being properly cared for when you’re not there. I’d treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention and exercise while they’re with me♥️ I’m currently working a part-time job and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m flexible with my availability and can arrange walks, drop-ins and pet sitting around my schedule. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s routine and work around their individual needs. always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and cared for, while following their usual routine and your instructions. I can also easily crate your dog if needed and will never leave them unsupervised in an unsafe environment.

Whilst my wife and I were away, we had many moving parts to cover dog care and Ben was so helpful and willing to slot in where needed. Ben and Gabriella were extremely friendly, easy to talk to, very accommodating to our needs, great commutators and especially great with my mum who was in a wheelchair. To come home and be told that your dog walkers/sitters are fantastic is great. Barley gives a BIG 5*

About: I have recently completed my final year studying Animal Management at university, where I’ve gained a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training, health, and welfare. This allows me to provide more than just basic care—I can recognise body language, support positive behaviour, and tailor each dog’s routine to suit their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including more nervous or anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. I’m also confident reinforcing basic training such as lead manners and general obedience during their stay if needed. Another key difference is that your dog will rarely ever be left alone. Between me and my partner, someone is typically always home, so your dog will have constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. We are also both insured outside of Rover! I also provide a calm, spacious home environment and keep my bookings limited to a maximum of 2 dogs (as long as both owners are informed and have agreed prior), so each dog receives focused care rather than being one of many. Combined with regular updates and photos, I aim to give owners complete peace of mind while their dog is with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in the pub downstairs (Thursday-Saturday evenings - can change depending on your booking!), but between me and my partner, one of us is always at home—so your dog will never be left alone. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to be flexible with routines, whether your dog prefers early walks, multiple shorter outings, or a more relaxed schedule. Because I’m in my final year of studying Animal Management, pet care is a central part of my lifestyle, not just something I do occasionally. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and spacious home environment in our private upstairs living area, away from noise and distractions. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, behaviour, and any specific needs before their stay. With my background in Animal Management, I’m confident reading dog body language, managing different temperaments, and ensuring a safe, stress-free environment. I keep bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of attention and space. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if there are multiple dogs, always prioritising safety. Regular updates and photos are provided so you can feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.

About: I have always had a dog ever since I was a child. My parents wanted my brother and I to feel confident around them, so we always had a variety of different dogs at home. Due to the shifts that I currently work, it is difficult to have my own dog full time now, so I grab every opportunity to say hello to any furry friends whilst I'm out and about...and I mean anywhere! I am sure my friends roll their eyes now because they know if I spot a dog, I simply can't resist stopping and saying hello haha. You will see from my gallery of photos that I meet a lot of dogs at patient's homes as well as when I'm out and about on my bike. I'm a very keen cyclist and love the outdoors. I have mostly owned medium sized dogs - labradors and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Lots of my close friends own dogs and I have offered to walk them and look after them from time to time if the need arises. I also signed up for the 'Borrow My Doggy' website a couple of years ago and met some wonderful dogs through there. On a regular basis, I would walk and look after a black labrador as well as a couple of cockapoos. I would dearly love to look after some more dogs in my local area. Hello. I currently work full time for the ambulance service, so I have some availability in between my shifts at work. The days that I am available each week, will be different. I have a fully fenced, large garden at my house and will make sure that your pet is thoroughly looked after. It's the perfect garden to throw a ball around and play 'Fetch'.

Susan is brilliant. 🤩 she picked up Cass at short notice after my dog walker couldn’t take her. She popped round to see me first so we could all meet. She is very loving and clearly loves animals. She kept me fully updated with how things went. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Brilliant service from Becky from start to finish - had to find a new dog walker as our previous one got a new job - and couldn't be more pleased to have met Becky and her lovely pooch Ruby who just happens to be the same breed, colour, and sex as our own Daisy! Daisy had the best time with Becky and her new friend Ruby on their walks and will be booking more walks with her in future! 100% recommend her 😊

FAQs for Dog Walking – Chelmsford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Chelmsford on Rover is £16.1 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 11,817 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Chelmsford. Enter your postcode 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-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 Chelmsford. 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 Chelmsford.

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 dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

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 our Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find Walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 83% of Walkers can help with special care needs
  • 84% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 11,817 Walkers in Chelmsford, 47% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
