Sully loved his walk today. Emma was lovely and professional. Doing a meet and greet beforehand and sending lots of pictures and updates on the day. Give you a peace of mind whilst your pooch is with someone else. Will definitely use again :)

About: I lost my dog to old age in December 24, he was a 15 year old Patterdale that had been with me since May 2011. So I've cared for both young and elderly dogs. I also care for the dogs of family when they go away. I live alone and mostly work from home. I have a secure back garden and have a choice of parks nearby for walking. I can usually get out for walks in the morning, lunchtime and evening. I work from a desk in my dining room, that has access into my back yard. The back yard is secure with brick walls on all sides with a gate into an alley.

About: Let me introduce myself - I’m Chrissie and I absolutely love Dogs!! Due to the passing of my beloved Hugo (seen in pics) last year, I have missed the bond of having a pet and getting out in nature as much. I have looked after family dogs many times over the last decade, from springer spaniels, staffys and jack russels. I have loved each dog as if it were my own. I give them the care and affection they deserve and will give yours just as much (if not more!) Carr mill dam is literally at the end of my road, so your dog will have the luxury of the various walks available in the area. I also drive so can take well behaved dogs to other nearby places where your pet can explore its surroundings. I’m looking for well behaved dogs who are good around children as my young son is likely to join us on our walks. I am a teaching assistant by day so I can occasionally provide drop-in checks after school hours, but mainly available for long weekends and school holidays. Perfect for families who are looking for breaks away but not wanting massive expenses for kennel boarding. I have a large astro turfed garden with high fences. Dogs are allowed to roam freely around my home and garden. My home is essentially theirs and wish for them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so I know exactly how much they mean to a family. To me, they aren’t just pets, they’re our best friends. I started Tail Waggin' Adventures because I wanted to give local dogs a chance to get out, explore, and have a bit of fun while their owners are busy. What our walks are like: I don’t believe a walk should just be a quick trip around the block. I like to make sure your dog actually has a great time. - If your dog loves a fast-paced hike, we’ll do that. If they’re older and just want to spend 30 minutes sniffing every single tree, that’s fine too! I follow their lead. - I’m always on the lookout for busy roads or other dogs to make sure everything stays stress-free. I’ll always stick to your specific rules and whatever temperament your dog has. - I want to be someone your dog is actually excited to see. I use lots of praise and treats (if allowed!) to make sure we become the best of friends. Check ins: If your pet prefers staying at home, I can pop in to help. I'll refresh their food and water, clean litter trays, and make sure they get some garden time and plenty of attention. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and appetite, and I’ll send you a quick update and some photos after every visit so you can relax. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you know your home and your pets are in safe hands. I always suggest a free meet and greet first to make sure I’m the right fit for your pet. Just send me a message and we’ll get it booked in! I work part time in my day job, which is quite flexible. This means I can usually shift things around to suit your schedule. While I'm wide open on weekends, I can often make mid-week or evening sessions work too. Every week can be a little different, so it’s always worth sending me a message, I’m happy to chat and see how I can fit into your pet's routine! I understand how important your home is, and I promise to treat it with the same care and respect I give to your pet. You'll always find your space left exactly as it was, providing you with complete peace of mind.

Georgia is amazing with our Nova. Nova is quite loud, high energy and a big dog, so we were slightly worried that they may be too much for a dog walker, however Georgia has no issues at all and assures us that she loves taking Nova out, so she put our minds at ease. Additionally, Georgia is great when it comes to scheduling and reliability, her routine is like clockwork and it's at the point where Nova knows exactly when to expect Georgia. We've also been working with Georgia for close to a year, and I can't recall a time where she has let us down. Trustworthy and reliable, can't ask for much more, thanks Georgia!

About: I work full-time as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. My experience with dogs began while I was at university, where I regularly walked retired racing greyhounds, giving me valuable experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and individual needs. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking, always going the extra mile to provide the highest standard of care for every pet. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while they're away. For added peace of mind, I hold an enhanced DBS check, a Pet First Aid certificate, comprehensive pet care insurance, and a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma. I am committed to providing a professional, caring, and dependable service, treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time with early finishes through the week and have both Fridays and Saturdays free to look after your fur babies. I am more than happy for you to enquire about any services not listed and I am flexible as to the care of your animals- I will try my best to fit you in as and when I can always. When visiting your pet in your home, I will always follow the rules and routines we have discussed prior to offer you peace of mind and keep your pet as relaxed and happy as possible whilst you are away. If we are on a particularly long walk or I am minding your dog for a day or more we may visit my home where I have my own dog, providing your dog gets along with others. I have a secure garden and pet care facilities.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s individual needs. I have experience with both young and senior pets, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training and routines for puppies, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for older animals, including administering medication if needed. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work night shifts at the hospital as a Health Care Assistant, so I am used to being responsible, reliable, and caring. Pet care fits well into my routine because I am available around my shifts, especially during the day, on some evenings, and on my days off. I have cared for cats most of my life and currently have two kittens myself, so looking after animals is already part of my daily life. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding times, litter trays, walks, medication if needed, and house rules. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I give pets gentle attention, patience, and care, especially if they are shy or nervous.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently own two dogs, including a 25kg Goldendoodle, and caring for them has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and senior dogs with medical needs, as well as administering medication, feeding, walking, and providing plenty of love and attention. My own dogs are reactive, so I'm currently working with Dog Pawfection on ongoing training. This has given me valuable experience in handling reactive, nervous, and aggressive dogs safely, including lead handling, crate training, and managing challenging situations calmly while out on walks. Alongside caring for my own pets, I've regularly looked after friends' and family's dogs over the years, so I'm confident adapting to each dog's individual routine and needs. I'm also planning to complete a canine first aid course to continue developing my knowledge and provide owners with even greater peace of mind. I work as a dental nurse during the week, so I'm available after work and on weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time as a dental nurse, which means I'm available for pet care on evenings and weekends. Pet sitting is something I'm truly passionate about, and I'm excited to grow my client base while providing reliable, loving care to every pet I meet. My long-term goal is to gradually reduce my dental nursing hours and dedicate more of my time to caring for animals. Whether I'm looking after your pet for an evening, a weekend, or regular visits, you can count on me to treat them with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping to their usual routine. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, and, of course, lots of cuddles if they enjoy them! I have experience with crate training, lead training, and reinforcing basic training around the home, so if you'd like me to continue practising simple commands and good habits while you're away, I'd be more than happy to help. I also have experience caring for reactive, nervous, and senior dogs, so I'm confident adapting my approach to suit each pet's individual needs. For cats, I'm equally happy to spend time playing, giving them affection on their terms, keeping litter trays clean, feeding them, and ensuring they have everything they need to feel relaxed and settled. Every pet is unique, so I'll always follow your instructions carefully and tailor my care to their routine, personality, and any specific requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they'll be cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention while you're away.

About: I have experience caring for dogs with anxiety and special needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that anxious dogs require patience, structure, and a calm presence, and I tailor my approach to their unique needs. ✔️ Experienced with Anxious Dogs: I recognize signs of stress and use positive reinforcement, soothing techniques, and familiar routines to help ease their anxiety. ✔️ Slow & Gentle Approach: I let nervous dogs set the pace, avoiding forced interactions and creating a space where they feel secure. ✔️ Maintaining Their Routine: I stick to their usual feeding, exercise, and comfort rituals to minimize stress. ✔️ Calming Techniques: I use soft tones, gentle movements, and enrichment activities to keep their minds engaged and relaxed. ✔️ Regular Updates: I provide frequent check-ins, photos, and videos so you can see how they’re doing. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who understands their needs. I’d love to provide them with the care and comfort they deserve! As a self-employed personal trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Since I set my own hours, I can plan my training sessions around pet visits, ensuring that your pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. ✔️ Flexible Availability: I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays if needed. ✔️ Active Lifestyle: As a fitness professional, I love staying active, which means plenty of walks, playtime, and exercise for high-energy dogs. ✔️ Balanced Schedule: My work allows for breaks between training sessions, so I can check in on pets throughout the day. ✔️ Reliable & Consistent: I prioritize maintaining a steady routine, which is especially important for anxious pets or those needing extra care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family—they have full access to cozy spaces, including sofas and beds, because I believe they should feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. Whether they love to cuddle or need their own space, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. ✔️ Spacious & Comfortable Environment: My home has a big enough living room where pets can lounge, play, or nap without feeling cramped. ✔️ Secure Outdoor Space: I have a fenced garden, providing a safe area for pets to run, explore, and enjoy fresh air under supervision. ✔️ Home Comforts: Pets are welcome on the furniture and can sleep in the bed if they choose, just like they would at home. ✔️ Plenty of Attention: Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or peaceful naps, I ensure they get the love and care they’re used to. ✔️ Exercise & Enrichment: Daily walks, interactive toys, and fun activities keep them happy and engaged. ✔️ Routine & Familiarity: I maintain their feeding and potty schedule to minimize stress. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their routine and provide a calm, familiar presence while you’re away. I ensure they stick to their usual schedule, feel safe in their space, and get plenty of love and companionship. No matter where they stay, I make sure every pet feels at home!

About: I've kept cats and dogs my entire life. Admittedly my canine experience is very slightly less than feline, so no giants please! Everything and anything else though, I will care for as lovingly and attentively as my own four fur babies. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friends! 😁 Currently fulfil a role within my home so am available 24/7. DO NOT HESITATE to contact me regarding availability or catchment area. I would love to hear from you and will respond immediately. It is worth being aware of the fact that we may need to discuss additional travel costs, IF you live outside the St Helens area. Travel can become expensive and time consuming very quickly, so I appreciate your understanding regarding this matter. Let's talk. :) I will NOT accept bookings with elderly (10 years plus) or severely infirmed animals. The stress is too great on the animals to be without thier human for long periods at those ages. I have 4 adult cats to keep your pet company. I have spent a lifetime caring for creatures of one sort or another, and plan to extend all that to your pets. They are our family, after all. Rest assured, I know exactly how important they are to you, as mine are to me. If I am likely to be caring for your animal in your home overnight, access to the internet would be greatly appreciated, if possible. If there are any musical instruments available in your home, I find that playing music for animals can be a really strong bonding tool. I can play anything with keys or strings. As well as a regular grooming routine; Morning and evening brushing for no less than 30 mins per animal, per session. My prices are slightly higher because I offer the highest quality of care available for your animals, anywhere. Bar none. Please check my reviews.

About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals. I adore playing, training, and most importantly making sure they have everything they need such as enough sleep, the right nutrition, enrichment and exercise! Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.

I requested a booking with Hayley yesterday for this morning at very short notice . Hayley was able to take the booking ..Hayley took Rolo gor an hour long walk down Sankey valley and sent me photos whilst on the walk . Rolo really enjoyed his walk and Hayley said he was as good as gold , which i was relieved about as Rolo isn't used to walking with strangers. Thank you Hayley for taking the booking at such short notice . Truly a 5 star service. I would not hesitate to book with Hayley again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Saint Helens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Saint Helens on Rover is £13.8 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,895 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saint Helens. 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 Saint Helens. 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 Saint Helens.

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:

  • 100% of Walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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 3,895 Walkers in Saint Helens, 44% 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.
