“The best!!!! Jackie is a fantastic walker for my special guy. I was able to tell how much she cares just from the meet and greet. Jackie is very punctual, reliable, and flexible. You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Tom and can’t recommend him enough. He stepped in on short notice to help take care of our husky, Talc, and completely exceeded our expectations. He was reliable, communicative, and took the time to understand Talc and make him as comfortable as possible. We were especially happy to hear such positive feedback about Talc’s behavior while we were away – it showed how well Tom connected with him. We’ll certainly be reaching out again next time we need a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker for Talc. Thank you!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my Shiba Inu, Roxy, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs. I understand the importance of sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you have peace of mind. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and your furry family member will receive lots of affection, supervision, and personalized care. I know every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Hi! I’m Gisselle, a devoted dog lover and proud dog mom to my friendly Shiba Inu, Roxy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your dog feels like part of the family. Every pup in my care receives plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and individualized attention based on their unique personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll provide the care and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. I also believe communication is just as important as exceptional care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, loved, and having a great time. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. I look forward to welcoming them into our home and giving them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home. Our home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, sunbathe, and play under close supervision. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, lounging in the sun, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, they’ll have a comfortable and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home.

“Morgan has been absolutely wonderful with my baby girl Chichi! She’s not only incredibly kind and caring, but also super reliable and responsive—especially when I’ve had a few last-minute changes. She always adjusts without hesitation and makes sure everything runs smoothly. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, which brings me so much peace of mind. Knowing that Chichi is in such good hands on days I’m in the office makes all the difference. Highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver!”

About: I will absolutely speak to your pup in a baby voice! It is likely that we will become friends immediately. I am a medical student and have had experience balancing my studies with caring for pups. I can help with a bit of training practice, play in the park near my place, or acclimate your dog to public spaces. Whatever your dog may need, I will provide it! I am currently a medical student! Most of my weekday is spent at the hospital, and I would love to unwind on a walk after work in between the study sessions. Although I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space for your pup and a crate if needed! No other dogs or animals, just a dog loving boyfriend.

When I was in college, I worked as a dog walker and it was the best job ever. I’m trustworthy, honest, and experienced.

About: During my time there, I handled various dog breeds and played/walked dogs of all ages, including senior dogs and puppies. I have worked with animals that have disabilities. I also have walked and played with my family and friend’s dogs when they needed a dog sitter. Prior to dog walking my family friends dogs, I was a Pet Care Specialist for several months at Morris Animal Inn. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your animal and/or animals! I am available on week days, and/or weekends if needed. I will make sure your animals safety is my top priority, and can give them treats if needed. From working at Morris Animal Inn, I have experience and knowledge of working with animals.

“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from childhood through adulthood, and have personally cared for five dogs over that time. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, patience, exercise, and love that goes into making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My current dog, Reyna, is a loving 4-year-old Micro Bully/Frenchie mix with plenty of personality. Caring for her has given me even more hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, going for a walk, or spending more time with them while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work remotely and have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. Even on days when I have meetings scheduled, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your pets. I do train a couple of evenings during the week, but it shouldn’t interfere with providing consistent and reliable care. Working from home gives me the ability to plan around each pet’s normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pet needs attention during the workday, a midday walk, or care while you’re away, I can be flexible and make sure they’re getting the time and attention they need. My home is already set up with pets in mind. My cats have plenty of comfortable spaces throughout the apartment, including a cat tower, a window perch, and different areas where they can relax or have their own space. My dog also has access to a dog park within my apartment complex, which makes regular exercise, playtime, and outdoor breaks easy and convenient. My dog and cats are all comfortable around each other and live together peacefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable by maintaining the routine and environment they’re already familiar with. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any other routines you have in place. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up around dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals on my family’s farm in Ecuador. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter who loves making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with feeding, walks, cleaning, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I especially love cats, but I’m happy to care for dogs too! I will treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I just moved to this country. I really love anímales and their well-being. I’m currently looking for a job, and I’d like to start working in a field I’m passionate about, which is animal care. I would care pets in their own home o just walking around the neighborhood, following the owner’s instructions and keeping their normal routine. I would make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, take them for walks if needed, and keep their space clean and safe. I would also pay attention to any changes in their behavior or health and communicate with owner if there are any concerns.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I’ve pet sitted for friends and family and enjoy walking and spending time with dogs. I like to be very accommodating since I understand the struggle of finding pet sitters on a last minute trip so I hope to help the people in my neighborhood. Since I am a college student and my classes are online I am free to pet sit and provide dog walking services everyday of the week. I will provide water but prefer food to be provided since every owner differs in which food is preferred to feed there pet. Dog walking is always available and let me know if your dog is a fan of any specific activities like fetch. I live in my parents home and they love having pets around so availability is never an issue. We also live in a fenced home so your pet has an extra layer of security.

About: Currently a medical student. I've been the primary care provider for our family dog and my best friend "Bama" for the past 11 years. I'm also the go-to friend and family dog sitter whenever the need arises. I have earned trust due to my love of life as a biologist and as a respected Eagle Scout. I know each life form has its own beautiful soul and should be treated with kindness and respect for that reason. I have pet care experience with dogs, cats, mice, and fish. I am currently a medical school, therefore, unemployed and have a lot of time to walk, play with, and give long belly scratches to furry friends. Animals make me extremely happy, so their happiness is also of utmost importance to me. Outside of my own personal experiences interacting with pets, I have also taken many courses in animal behavior and the biological basis of animal learning. I have a very solid understanding of why animals do the things they do and this allows me to adapt to whatever circumstances and/or needs of the pets or animals that I interact with. Whether that be crating a dog, training a rebellious puppy, or interactions with other dogs.

I got stuck at my primary job and wasn't going to have time to walk him before I needed to get to my second job. Daniel was able to add in an additional walk for me. This was a great relief as I didn't want my dog to be alone all day without a good walk.

I was not sure at the beginning because Basenjis could be difficult to handle if you have no experience with the breed. Melissa gracefully and patiently gave Belle a chance to warm up to her and everything worked out on day 2 She treated the 3 dog babies like they were her own I felt at peace that somebody like her was taking care of the fur babies while I was away Thank you Melissa

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bloomfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Bloomfield is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 28,272 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bloomfield. Enter your ZIP code 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-on-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 Bloomfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bloomfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomfield. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
