“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.”
“Heidi was brilliant - extremely professional, super quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure I (and our dog) felt comfortable. She immediately understood the attention and patience needed with our senior dog, and would gladly use her again! Highly recommended”
“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!”
“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!”
“Another great doggy care session from Elizabeth. Prompt responses at booking. Easy communication. Punctual and great care, local walk, photos etc. Just what we need when we are out, and need extra daycare. Myla is very happy with Elizabeth.”
About: I have lived with pets all my life, and taken care of other peoples pets for over 5 years. I have experience looking after rescue dogs. I work in the film industry and currently due to the SAG strikes I am not working. Therefore I am home all days of the week and your dog will have my full undivided attention. I live in a cosy flat where I can keep an eye on your dog all time they are here. There is communal garden where dogs can be let out to use the toilet. I live a 5 minute walk away from a local park which lots of dogs that I have a taken care of enjoy walking through. I can take dogs out on regular walks of various lengths depending on what they need and enjoy ! :)
“Zhane was excellent, Bella was chilled and happy going for her walks. We received pictures during each of the four walks. Zhane was very helpful and respectful we will be using Zhane again and highly recommend her.”
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 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.
“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: Hello! I'm a Midwife and freelance classical singer. I'm 33 years old and grew up in a family home that was affectionately nicknamed "The Zoo". We always had 3 cats, a Lhasa Apso and a Pyrenean Mountain Dog (and a menagerie of other furry friends) and they were a huge part of our family. Now I am cat-less, making friends with any dog I meet along my way and looking forward to meeting some new furry friends whilst giving the human-folk peace of mind that their beloved pets are very well looked after in my care.
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.
About: As someone who grew up with at least one pet in the house (dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish), I have a lifelong love of animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. For several years, I provided pet care for people in my apartment complex, gaining experience with anxious pets as well as those requiring medication and extra attention. Bonus: I'm a marine biology graduate, so please let me watch your fish <3 My schedule is currently very flexible! I have open availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Because I won't be starting my master's program until September, I'm able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening! I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I am flexible to meet the needs of each animal in their own home. I want to ensure each animal is as happy and cared for as possible.
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!
“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”

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!

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.

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.
