“Henry was great. Friendly and flexible. Sent loads of information and pictures of their walks. Worked on some training skills too. Capably handheld our dog who has reactivity issues. Would recommend and definitely use him again.”
About: I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I will ensure I am at home with no other work planned whilst boarding your dog. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to elderly care. I grew up with three dogs from a little Lasa Apso to an Old English Gent, with a Corgi Mix in-between. I have experience of fully training my own Cardigan Corgi in the past, the most loyal soul and truly the “goodest boy”. He had an exceptionally sweet character, a dog lover himself and somewhat of a celebrity in our area 🤎 He reached a great age and we had the best life together. He taught me so much, and is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. WALKING and/or hiking: I am a qualified DofE walk leader for Hertfordshire, so I know the greatest adventures, terrain and many varied local routes. We can walk up to three times a day. With awareness and responsibility; I am a mindful and aware dog carer, especially in public places. Preemptive safety is always my priority. I build an engaging and thoughtful relationship with dogs, practicing communication and embedding routine. I talk to them and we learn together, getting to know each other. BOARDING: For me, owner communication is key, we will set up a meeting to gain an understanding of your dog and their daily routine, their specific requirements and ensure that they have as little disruption as possible whilst you are away. Your dog will be the main character, the whole story, it’s all about them! Most of all we will have fun. VISITS and playtime: A fully engaged and planned visit according to your needs; I will spend this time ensuring your dog knows they are a VIP and cared for. I use reaffirming language to create routine and build effective communication with your dog. I am able to make myself available for boarding 24/7; your dog will be with me and included in every part of my day. I have a good sized fully secure and 6ft fenced garden, I am able to safely transport them in my car with seat belts, a large hatchback area, and a soft cushioned bed in my vehicle. I will be caring for your dog only. For walks I will also only walk with one dog or two dogs maximum from the same family. I have a current valid DBS check.
About: Some of my earliest and kindest memories are of growing up with two amazing black labs. Not a year has gone by since without dogs playing a big part in my life. From having then as pets through to dogsitting as I grew up, I adore spending time with our furry four-legged friends. I have a friendly and sociable labradoodle called Ellie who will put any visiting friend at ease; be it playing in the garden or snoozing together on the sofa while I read. I'm currently working flexibly from home so am able to spend most of my day with your dog. I have several parks nearby where I can take them for walks however often they need, plus a back garden they can relax in. We have a very pet-friendly home (it was necessary for our own dog, Ellie!). The back garden is fenced with both sun and shade. I'll always tailor the environment to suit your dog, ensuring they are comfortable and happy while staying - be it a quiet space to sleep, or if they prefer sleeping in the bedroom with me.
“Emily has been absolutely fantastic! She stepped in to help walk Forrest while I recovered from knee surgery, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker. She was incredibly responsive from the start and took the time to get to know Forrest and understand his needs. Emily was always punctual, reliable, and diligent—she never once let us down. Forrest absolutely adored her and looked forward to seeing her every morning. He always came back completely knackered, so I knew he’d had a great walk and plenty of exercise. I think he will miss her a lot! Emily also made sure to send us regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker. Thank you, Emily!”
“Jessica walked our dog Mikey while we were away for a couple days. She was always very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures and made us feel at ease. Will be using her in the future. ;)”
“Walked my dog for me very last minute as I was feeling unwell, Bru had a brilliant time and Shelley was lovely and communicated throughout. Thank you so much x”
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs and have in-depth experience in particular with terrier breeds, including their training and behavioural needs. I also have experience training pups both at home and at classes. I specifically have experience with: puppies, rescues, reactive, aged and muzzled dogs. I like to give dogs the best environment possible and cater to their needs, whether that be mental or physical stimulation, hugs and cuddles, their own individual space, training or companionship. Dogs are just as individual as us and no two dogs are the same. I am an outdoorsy person and live incredibly close to beautiful countryside so can provide some great walks. I am currently without a dog but this may change in the future when myself and my partner are ready to add to our little unit permanently. I also sometimes care for my family dog who is friendly and great with other dogs, should you ever want your dog to have a playmate. I have general availability on afternoons/evenings and weekends. I work full time but am also able to take occasional WFH days each week as and when, so I can build any walks or sitting needs/requests around this. I have: a fenced in garden with a 6ft gate (mix of grass and patio), currently a large sized dog crate, dog beds, blankets, toys, bowls, spare leads (including 10m long lead for recall training), spare collars, ball thrower and food. I also have a dog whistle should your dog be trained to one. My car has two doggy seatbelts and the back seats have a full cover over them. I will shortly also be looking to do a dog first aid training course.
“Anna has been walking Ollie regularly for a few months now and he always has the best time. He is the most excited dog in the world whenever he sees Anna at the door! Anna is fantastic, very reliable and keeps in touch. She has also had Ollie to board as we knew he would love to spend more time with her.”
“Lydia was great, we felt very at ease leaving our German Shepherd in her care while we were away. She did everything we asked of her and more and was always professional, friendly and polite. Took fantastic care of our dog who was very happy with her. Would not hesitate to recommend Lydia! Will definitely rebook. Thank you”
“This was my first time using Rover. I needed to find someone to walk my 6 month old puppy. From the beginning Alejandra filled me with confidence that she would be trustworthy and take very good care of our dog. I would definitely recommend and request to book Alejandra again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had 30 years of experience of being a dog owner. Ranging from small breeds such as a westie to a Rottweiler. I regularly walk and sit my sisters Australian labradoodle. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, allowing me to give your dog my full attention during visits and walks. I aim to be flexible where possible and communicate clearly about availability to ensure reliability and consistency. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my priority at all times. I follow routines carefully, respect feeding and medication instructions, and ensure secure handling on walks. I take a calm, attentive approach and always assess environments for safety. If your dog is comfortable travelling in the car, I’m happy to incorporate walks in nearby green spaces for variety and enrichment. Transport would always be discussed in advance and carried out safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I will keep you updated so you feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.

“Sonia was lovely with my mini-schnauzer Lola and took her on some nice gentle walks. It was great getting the little updates after each walk. I really appreciated Sonia’s flexibility and kindness when my plans changed at the last minute, and will definitely be asking her for help with Lola in the future.”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, from hamsters to cats, and more recently I grew up with two lovely black labradors - Charley and Flo. I do miss having dogs around so am keen to share my love for animals with others. Whether it’s a walk around the block or staying over I would love to help out. I fit my schedule around what is best for your dog as I know many have their preferred routine. Whether that’s walking at certain times or eating at 3pm on the dot!

Holly has been absolutely wonderful with my dog. She always kept me updated after each walk, which gave me real peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Holly, for taking such great care of Shiro!
Roseanne is wonderful, she’s walked my fur baby Casper, twice now and has been fantastic each time. She’s professional, confident, and clearly very experienced, which is so important as Casper can be quite active and strong (he’s a Siberian Husky, after all!) I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her walk him again. Highly recommended 😊
Anna has walked my dog Casper twice so far and I’ve been really happy with her. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly very good with dogs. Casper can be quite strong and a bit difficult at times, but she handles him calmly and confidently, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. She’s also a very kind and thoughtful person. When I was in a bit of a tricky situation once, she kindly offered to help, which I really appreciated. It really shows how caring and supportive she is, both with the dogs she works with and their owners. I’ll definitely be using her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

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 North Hertfordshire. 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 North Hertfordshire.
