Dog Walking St. Albans

“I needed a dog walker last minute before traveling and was so pleased to find Brooke. She communicated clearly from the start, was very professional, and kept me updated throughout the walk. My French bulldog, Lily, can be a bit challenging, but Brooke handled her confidently and with care. I’ll definitely be reaching out again.”

“Anna was punctual and friendly. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Nana with her for a walk. She clearly had a great time and was a very happy dog when she returned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anna and I have already booked in for more walks in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Jess, a big animal lover based in St Albans. I grew up with my Border Terrier, Milly, who was part of our family for 20 years, and I’ve since regularly looked after dogs/cats for friends, family and similar pet sitting apps in Australia and New Zealand. I work from home four days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, company and giving your dog lots of attention during the day. I live with my husband, Matty, who grew up with Border Collies, Charlie and Leo. Matty is a primary school teacher with great availability to help out in evenings, weekends and during school holidays — perfect for those busier periods. What I can offer you: 🐾 A home from home We have a large, secure private garden and live within walking distance of Verulamium Park, so there’s plenty of space for play, walks and fresh air. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. ❤️ Hopefully your regular sitter! I’d love to build long-term relationships with local pets and their owners and become someone you can rely on regularly. Getting to know your dog’s personality, routine and little quirks means I can give them the best possible care. 🐱 Cat care too I’ve also looked after friends’ and family’s cats and am happy to help with feeding, medicines, playtime, company and cuddles. What I’d love to know about your pet: Tell me about their routine, personality, favourite things and any special requirements. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so we can make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐾 I work from home four days a week, with lunchtime/evening walks and weekends free. My husband is a teacher , so I’d love a furry companion! Our spacious and secure maisonette has a large fenced private garden and spare bedroom. Your furry friend will have plenty of space, love and attention. Happy to be flexible to your needs.

“Emily is really wonderful with our labrador Ben and stepped in for us last minute when I was poorly - I highly recommend Emily, she has a lovely rapport with our dog.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with three Labradors and have continued to care for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours. I’ve looked after my neighbour’s Golden Retriever for weekends and longer holidays, as well as my friend’s Collie, who I loved taking on long walks. I’ve also cared for my brother’s puppy from just 14 weeks old, so I’m comfortable with the energy and needs of younger dogs I’ve also had experience caring for my grandad’s elderly Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which taught me how important patience, gentleness and adapting to an older dog’s needs can be. I previously worked as a receptionist at a part time veterinary practice, which gave me lots of experience around animals and a good understanding of how important their health and wellbeing are. I’ve cared for my own dog when they were unwell, including giving eye drops, wrapping bandages and helping with training. I’d love to have a dog of my own, but at the moment I’m not able to make the full-time commitment that comes with owning one. Pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to enjoy having dogs around and give them the love, attention and care I would give my own. I’d treat every dog as part of the family and make sure they feel happy, safe and completely at home while they’re with me. I work Monday to Friday, 9–5, so I’m mainly available for pet sitting, boarding and walks outside of my working hours and at weekends. I’m happy to discuss individual arrangements depending on your dog’s routine and needs. I particularly enjoy weekend stays, longer walks and giving dogs lots of attention and companionship when I’m at home. I’ll always make sure I’m able to give your dog the time and care they need before agreeing to a booking. I currently live in a flat without a garden, so I understand that dogs staying with me would need regular outdoor walks and toilet breaks. I’m very happy to provide plenty of exercise and enjoy long walks, while also making sure your dog has a calm and comfortable space to relax afterwards. However, taking care of a dog in their own environment might best suit their needs. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, routine and individual needs and will always follow your instructions carefully. Your dog’s safety and happiness would be my priority, and I’d want them to feel completely at home while they’re with me.

“Ben was great, he came over and met Hippo and she was very comfortable with him. The actual walk ended up not happening for reasons that were our fault not Ben’s but he deserves a great review anyway!”

“Amanda has been a great sitter for us, for me and for Bentley, on long work days I've been able to relax knowing he's in capable hands. Amanda takes care checking the temperature on hot days and touching the pavement to see if its too hot for paws etc. My dog is overweight so she tempts him with his toys and balls to make sure he gets a bit of movement in on visits. I like the detail Amanda gives when they go out on a longer walk, you can see how long exactly and where around the neighbourhood. He may lunge at other dogs and Amanda is so reassuring to me letting me know if she sees another dog coming she'll cross the road. Thank you so much again!”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was a child with the family dog. I've had experience caring for guide dog puppies, so I'm well prepared for any puppy antics. I'm currently searching for work so my schedule may change, but I will update my profile and availability if it changes. Otherwise, I am available all day everyday except Friday mornings. I live with one friendly cat who will most likely keep to herself. I have a green garden with a fence and I live close to many parks perfect for dog walks.

About: I really enjoy caring for dogs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m flexible and attentive, offering a calm home environment with plenty of company, attention, and walks. I grew up in a household with multiple dogs—at one point we had five—so I’m very used to dogs of all ages, including puppies. I genuinely miss having a dog around, so I love welcoming them into my home and making them feel relaxed and happy. I’m calm, friendly, and playful, but also confident setting clear boundaries when needed so dogs feel secure and behaviour stays consistent. I’m always happy to follow your dog’s routine closely and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages. I work Monday - Friday 9-5pm from home. I am able to take frequent breaks and take an hour for lunch. In the morning I go for a walk, and I would love to have more of a reason to go out walking at lunch or in the evening too - it’s likely I’ll do 2 walks with your dog! My partner loves dogs too and she will be also helping out and enjoying cuddles when she’s not at work. I have a fenced garden and hard surfaces downstairs (no carpet) so the house is well set up for a dog. I’m also happy to crate your dog if needed or have your dog sit in my office with me while I work (again, hard floor).

“June is very friendly! Took my 9 month puppy for a walk and he’s come back exhausted and content, which is a great sign! He loved June! We will definitely book again ☺️”

“Gabriella was very helpful and gave me updates before and after the walk 🫶 will be contacting her again for sure! Thank you”

About: I absolutely adore dogs and have been dog walking and sitting for the past four years. I have had plenty of experience with different breeds, ages, personalities and energy levels. I’ve looked after everything from Miniature Dachshunds and Spaniels to English Bulldogs, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, a Belgian Malinois and a Husky/Alaskan Malamute mix. I’m very comfortable adapting to the individual dog rather than treating every dog the same. A lot of my experience is with nervous and anxious dogs, including dogs who need one-to-one care, can’t be left alone or are happier on quieter, lead-only walks. I know how important it is to be patient and let nervous dogs build trust in their own time. I also regularly care for older dogs and am very conscious of adjusting walks if they’re getting tired or sore. At the other end of the scale, I’m more than happy with high-energy dogs who love long walks and need plenty of exercise and stimulation! Alongside dog sitting and walking, I work at Puppy Yoga where I help care for puppies from around eight weeks old. This has given me lots of experience handling young puppies, keeping an eye on their behaviour and making sure they get enough rest and feel safe and comfortable around new people. I genuinely love spending time with animals and tend to treat the dogs I look after like my own. I love getting outside for long walks, but I’m just as happy having cuddles on the sofa if that’s more their thing. I’m currently completing my master's in law alongside working part-time remotely as a Project Manager, which gives me good flexibility for walks, drop-ins, day sits and overnight stays. I already have a lovely group of regular clients and repeat sits, and I’d love to meet some more dogs and their owners! I’m currently completing my Master’s alongside working part-time as an online Programme Manager, so my schedule is really flexible and I’m able to fit pet care easily around my week. I work remotely, which also means I can be around during the day rather than having to leave pets for long periods. I already make lots of time for dog walking and sitting each week, and I genuinely enjoy having it as part of my routine. Whether it’s a weekday walk, a day sit or an overnight stay, I’m usually able to be pretty accommodating with timings. I have lots of experience staying in owners’ homes for both dog and cat sitting, including week-long stays and looking after multiple pets at once. I always try to keep pets' routines as normal as possible while their owners are away, including their usual feeding times, walks, medication or care instructions, sleeping arrangements and all the little things they’re used to at home. I’m very comfortable with nervous dogs and dogs who need somebody around for most or all of the day. I’m patient with them and never try to rush them into situations they’re uncomfortable with. I also adapt walks and exercise depending on the dog — whether that means a long energetic walk, a slower wander for an older dog or a quieter solo walk for an anxious one. I know how strange it can feel leaving both your pet and your home with somebody else, so I’m very respectful of owners’ houses and always keep things clean and tidy. I’ll also send plenty of photos and videos while you’re away so you can see what your pets have been up to!

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I have had dogs of all sizes from large labradors to tiny Pomeranians. I have a dog of my own named Winston who is sweet, cuddly and fully trained. He is a little shy but once he gets to know your dog, they will be best friends 😊 I am fully available to give all my attention to your lovely dog. I am an early bird too so I can walk your dog before, during or after work 😄 I live in a 2 story house which gives dogs a lot of space to move around. We have a closed fence in our backyard with artificial grass but as a preference, I like to take dogs outside for a walk or to our front yard where there is real grass. We have a lot of dog toys to choose from and fresh water when needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats in the local area. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and keep pets company whilst they are on holiday! I have recently finished university and am available to help whilst I look for a full-time job! I am flexible and have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets on weekdays and weekends I have a fenced garden and two friendly golden retrievers that would love to keep your fur babies company! I will also stick to the regular routine that they are familiar with
