“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.”

“Excellent service from Elizabeth. Came to visit before to get to know Myla. She enjoyed her walks, meals, and Elizabeth's company. Elizabeth was very good and experienced with older dogs needing shorter walks and medication. Would recommend and book again.”

“Mila had a great time with Ruby, who was really lovely in accommodating a last minute change. She was excited to see her and very tired after their walk. We are looking forward to booking in our next walk!”

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.
“Zhanè is amazing with my dog Hugo, he absolutely loves her. Brilliant communication, always on time and has a warm loving presence. Would highly recommend as I know they'll be in safe hands.”

“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.”

“Emma was fantastic! Helped out last minute and fitted in a meet and great with our dog Arlo the day before looking after him. She is trustworthy, we gave her access to our key safe and she let herself into our house to play and walk with Arlo. Thank you!”

About: Hi, I'm Suzanne, a lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet sitter who understands that your furry friends are family (also, I am a data analyst and I work from home so I have most weekdays, weeknights and weekends free). Whether it's belly rubs, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I treat every pup as if they were my own. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I know how to keep tails wagging and paws happy. While I would love to have a dog of my own, I can’t commit to full-time pet ownership at the moment—so instead, I’m here to share my love for dogs by helping care for yours. Beyond basic care, I’m here to make your dog's day extra special—whether it’s playtime, keeping up with training routines, or providing the companionship they deserve while you're away. Let me help you give your dog the love and attention they need, no matter your schedule. My services include: Walks tailored to your dog's energy level Playtime and enrichment activities Feeding and medication administration House tasks like watering plants or collecting mail Feel free to reach out—I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member. I'm very flexible as I work from home and don't have to be online all the time. Also, my weekends are usually free, including holidays. All the dogs on my profile are borrowed (I have had more, but usually we are too busy throwing balls and have no time to take pictures). Some of them have been with me for weeks, some I have walked every morning for years. They are all friends for life. I have a fenced garden. I usually take the dogs out 3-4 times a day, including a long walk in the morning. I am a poor sleeper, so there is usually only 7 hours between the last walk in the evening and the next one in the morning. I do not have any pets of my own (yet!) but I have plenty of experience of making friends with new (borrowed) dogs.
“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!”

“June, you are awesome and thank you so much for your patience when trying to work out how to extend the hours for the walk. Achilles is now tired but was crying when you left. Thank you again. X”

About: Myself and my fiancé, Elliot, have grown up with pets all our lives and miss having dogs around so much! We live in St Albans with both Clarence Park and Verulamium Park in super easy reach and we feel at a loss going for walks without a pooch in tow. We’re super active and love to be outside (no matter the weather). We’re a relatively low key, responsible and chilled couple. Both of us have experience looking after our family dogs as puppies, right through to old age. We also appreciate how much of a family member they are and that it’s scary leaving your dog with someone else who you hardly know - we’d of course be open to meeting anyone and their dog before needing to commit to us taking care of them - trust is so important! We promise to care for and love your pooch just as you would :) I work two days a week from home, starting at 9am so can do pick up anytime before. I’m an early riser so morning walks before 9am are no problem. I have an hour for lunch break where I love to get out of the house, and from 5.30pm free as a bird! Boarding over the weekend is no problem and for all day care I’d be taking your pooch of 2-3 walks a day if that suits the dog. Of course if elderly and needs shorter/less walks that’s not a problem! Our garden is completely fenced of with no means of escape! Our home is around 1,000 sq ft mid-terrace. We have no problem with dogs going upstairs but of course if this is against what they do at home, we will enforce any rules you have for them so we don’t undo any training!

About: I previously raised three dogs of my own and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. After they all passed away, I hoped to share the love I had for them with even more dogs. I am also a professional pet groomer. During boarding stays, grooming services can be added if needed, so every owner can welcome home their dog clean, fresh, and smelling wonderful. I work from home Monday to Friday, so I’m available to take dogs out for walks at any time. I can arrange boarding most of the time as well. I have a fenced garden at home, and dogs are free to move around the house except for the bedrooms. There are only two of us in the household, with no children, your dog can enjoy a peaceful, stable environment and have a happy, relaxing holiday. Please tell me about your pet’s daily routine and eating habits. I will do my best to follow their usual schedule so they can feel just as comfortable as they do at home.
About: I have always been dog obsessed and spent many years training dogs and understanding their behaviour. My main priority when dog sitting is to ensure your dog feels as close to home as possible! Whether that's letting them under the blanket or playing fetch all day long, I will always go above and beyond to cater to their wants and needs😊. I work at a doggy daycare, where I’ve taken part in several dog welfare and behaviour training sessions and gained lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I absolutely love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I’m also happy to offer extra training if requested, and I have access to secure, enclosed fields -perfect for safe playtime or recall training. I work Tuesday Wednesday Thursday in the mornings, around these days I am always available as I work from home. On request I may also be able to board during the week as I can take dogs to work with me! I live in a house with a fenced in garden with plenty of space for your dog to run around. I currently have a older Labrador who is very chill and tends to keep to herself and sleep most of the time. I never have any issues with the dogs staying getting along with her, but feel free to ask for a meet beforehand if this would put your mind at ease!
“We did a meet and greet with Anna to meet our dog, and he LOVED her. She’s very intuitive and has a lot of knowledge. She asked all the right questions about our boy, and we can’t wait to start repeat walks. Thanks so much Anna!”

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.

Letitia and Jordan were brilliant - they came to meet our boys a couple of days before the walk so they knew them, their communication was great throughout, and the boys obviously had a great time on their walk. They are clearly experienced with all kinds of dogs and a safe pair of hands. Thanks again!

June was brilliant! So responsive, adhered to our booked times, and extremely trustworthy. From the first meeting she immediately made us (and our dog) feel at ease and it was clear she has a huge amount of experience with senior dogs or just dogs that require a little more TLC. Our dog warmed up to her immediately, will definitely use her again. Thank you June!

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 .

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 St. Albans. 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 St. Albans.

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.
