“Our experience with Emily has been excellent - brilliant communication, always on time, and clearly very experienced with dogs - our Labrador absolutely loves his walkies with her and we feel he is in very safe hands. We look forward to many more bookings. Thank you, Emily!”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable dog lover with experience looking after dogs of different sizes and personalities. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs — whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll always treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pup happy and comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m currently looking to work part time and i have availability on weekends and weekdays between 11am and 3pm for walkies around the area for as long as the dog needs! I can also pick the dog up and the dog can also stay at my house, however my availability and timings vary so message me specifically! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs and also own a dog myself, so I understand how important routine, patience, and attention are. I provide a calm, loving atmosphere where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow walking routines, and any special instructions to make sure your dog is cared for exactly the way you would want.
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.
“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.”
About: Having cared for animals my entire life, including two German Shepherds, a horse and my Bengal cat, I’m confident handling pets of all temperaments. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs, balancing affection, exercise, routine and boundaries to ensure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I’m highly flexible and available throughout the week, with some weekend availability. Typically available from 11am onwards, including evenings upon request. I prioritise safety, routine and wellbeing, providing attentive care in a calm, secure environment that’s comfortable for them, while adapting to each pet’s individual needs and personality.
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: Hi there! I’m a veterinarian that has recently moved to the area and hoping to spend some more time with animals outside of my place of work! I have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses among other creatures my whole life and have a passion for caring for animals. During vet school I looked after dogs via Rover and word of mouth referrals. I am now three years qualified, and comfortable looking after animals of various ages and medical needs. I also love the outdoors so I am frequently taking walks around the neighborhood- but it would be so much better with a four legged companion! Even though most of my days are spent with furry patients, I’ve always enjoyed looking after my own pets and it brings me so much joy. I am very responsible and attentive and you can be assured that your pet would be safe with me and also have a great time! I am available most Thursday’s-Sunday's and can be flexible with your pets needs. I prefer activities earlier in the day, especially over the warmer months! I am unavailable Monday-Wednesday. I always keep a close eye on the pets I watch. I am able to read animals very well and ensure they stay comfortable in their environment.

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!
Shereen is amazing! I was very worried as I have a very excitable staffy but Shereen has had staffs in the past and came over to see how he was before she started walks with him. I get updates every walk and I know pablo looks forward to his walks with her. Its also great he can experience walking with other dogs also. I will continue to use her for walks and boarding if ever needed. She is a star and so happy to have found her! I cannot recommend her enough!

The average cost for Dog Walking in St. Albans on Rover is £16.1 per walk (as of July 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 .

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.

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.
