About: Hi, I'm Alessandra! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for everything from turtles, a bird, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits to two Golden Retrievers. Today, I have a cat and Golden Retriever of my own, so I know firsthand just how much our pets are a part of the family. As a Rover-user myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to care for your pet. I also know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always happy to tailor my care accordingly. I work remotely and am based in Newtown, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule for house sitting and/or walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful of the little things that make a big difference - following your routine and care instructions, respecting your home, keeping your pet comfortable & happy, and sending plenty of updates along the way. My goal is to make sure you feel just as comfortable with me caring for your pet as I’d want to feel with someone caring for mine! I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) — let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit! — Alessandra 🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. I also offer house sitting, and since I can work from almost anywhere, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets and keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. My schedule varies week to week, but I’ll always communicate my availability upfront and make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs before accepting a booking. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs, while paying attention to the little things (securing gates & doors, keeping items out of reach, etc.) that keep them safe and happy. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands and getting plenty of love and attention!
About: I have several years of experience with all types of animals. I have spent a lot of timing researching and helping animals who need it, and I have even taken classes on animal care and behavior. I love animals and they always have, and will be, a big part of my life. My schedule does vary, but it is flexible. Monday evenings, tuesdays, Friday evenings, Saturday, and Sunday especially, I am generally available. I will always try to fit your pets in! Although I can not offer boarding, your pets safety and happiness is of the upmost importance. I will work based off of what your pet is expressing to me and what you tell me, combined with my own experience to keep everybody safe and happy!
“James and Amelia, his daughter they both came to walk my pups. They both are so friendly with the dogs immediately my both pups, became friend. Dee who is normally a shy pup, happily went out for walk. James and Amelia are kind and really know how to make their impressions on the dogs. I will highly recommend😊”
“Taylor has been wonderful with Moose. I am very happy having Taylor take care of him. She does a great job of communicating when she arrives, during her time with him, and after she leaves. I highly recommend Taylor walking and caring for your pet.”
About: Your pet is family. I treat them with love and sincere care. Their safety, happiness and well-being are my priories. Walk, play, quality time together.. My schedule is wide-open. I have the ability to make drop-in visits, walk, play, sit in your home, give medications. (Able to help doctors/nurses and those who work alternate schedules, 12 hour shifts and those who want to leave their pets in good hands). I will listen to your routine, your pet schedule, your pet’s personality, likes/dislikes and behaviors. I will follow your instructions and provide updates whether it be walking, feeding, playing, sitting your pet.
“Rachael did a great job with my dog Harry today! He came home happy & tired so that's a good thing. He ate his dinner quite heartily too, ha, ha! I'm looking forward to having her come back again hopefully on a regular basis for walks & see if we can get some weight off Harry as he is overweight for his size right at this stage in life. Thanks so much Rachael!”
About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was a kid, and have cared for several senior dogs while their families were away in recent years. I’ve also house-sat for kitty families and multi-pet homes. Whether your pet has special requests or just needs some company, I’m excited to meet them! I’m a Park Ranger who works seasonally and I am currently in the off-season until March. Thus, I have a very open, flexible schedule for all your pet care needs. My approach is very thoughtful and considerate of your space and what you prefer your pet be allowed to do. Before entering anyone’s home, I like to check in with the home owner to ensure I’m aware of all rules and preferences so I can provide the excellent service you’re looking for while respecting your boundaries as well.
“My family was so relieved to have found out about Rover.com from a coworker. Our summer rental suddenly let us know that we could not bring our dog a week before and that left us scrambling to figure out what to do. We picked Mena H. She was dependable, kind and respectful to our dog Tobey and home. If needed again we will use her again. Thank you.”
About: Hi! My name is Courtney, and I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others is what I do every day—both professionally and personally—and that same level of compassion, attentiveness, and responsibility carries over into how I care for pets. I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, and birds. Because of this, I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, needs, and care routines. I currently have a one-year-old dog who means everything to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your animals with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any specific instructions to maintain your pet’s routine.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I bring to every animal I work with. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, which has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ve also been a lifelong pet parent, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for your pets. I tailor my care to each pet’s age, temperament, routine, and health needs, whether that means extra patience with a senior pet, medication assistance, reinforcing basic training, or simply giving them the love and companionship they’re used to at home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliability, and I care for every pet as I would my own. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for their people to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests based on your pet’s needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, and prioritize safety at all times. I communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and cats always treating them like part of my family. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time with pets each day. I’m available for dog walking, cat care, playtime, and more. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment, and I follow all instructions from owners closely.
About: I volunteer in animal shelter constantly, I have taken care of dogs from friends and coworkers multiples times. I wanna be a vet one day!! I am currently out of school for summer so I got a lot free time that i would love to spend with cats and dogs I am really responsible and I have lovely cat that would love to have more fur friends, and I also have yard which they can play in it
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 16. Mostly cats and dogs, not just my own! Baths, feeding, walking, occasional medicine and especially playtime! I have my own business and I’m looking to do this on the side for whoever needs some help for their furry friends! I love animals! So I can’t really host your pet in my house because of my 2 dogs but I’m more than willing to come to yours and help care for your pets.
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!
About: Hi! I’m Sierra — I graduated with my M.S in elementary education and I am currently focusing on nannying/dog walking. I have over 6 years of pet care experience in Fairfield County. I’ve worked with a variety of families through both a professional pet care company (for 5 years) and on my own. I absolutely love animals and have a dog and five cats of my own, so I really understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’m responsible, flexible, and always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ve got you covered! I also have amazing references that I can send over.😊 I’m currently available during the day during the week and anytime on weekends. I am also flexible when needed. I can’t wait to hear from you! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and exercise routines. I make sure the home stays safe and secure, sticking to the pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I give plenty of attention and monitor their health, while keeping their space clean and respecting the client’s home. I also send regular updates to owners and quickly communicate any concerns. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that puts both pets and owners at ease.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Botsford
I cannot say enough good things about Craig and his wife! We have been using them three times a week for our dog, Molly, and they have truly been a lifesaver. Craig is incredibly reliable and always shows up exactly at the times we agree on, and his communication is always spot-on. One of our favorite parts is that they bring their own dog along, and he and Molly get along so famously—it's wonderful knowing she’s getting some great socialization while out on her walks. Craig and his wife are just incredibly nice, friendly, and easy to talk to, making the whole experience completely stress-free. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing, trustworthy care for their pup!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Botsford is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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.

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 Botsford. 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 Botsford 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 Botsford. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
