“Grace is great! She follows care instructions and is attentive to my fur baby, I also like how she actually leaves a detailed message about the walk on the report card.”
“When I got home Ali seemed so happy. I am so glad I was able to find a good walker and look forward to continuing their help! Ali loved grant and it was so nice to know they liked her too!”
“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Lenny! I appreciate your willingness to meet him in advance, and I loved seeing the pics. It was great to know he was in good hands while I was gone!”
“Taylor has been incredible with Benji and super communicative with me while I transitioned back to the office full-time! He can be a bit shy around new people and she was so patient with him every time she came to get him for his walk. She knows exactly what needs and makes sure he feels supported and happy on their daily walks. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who lives in the area!!”
About: I have been around all kinds of cats and dogs. I’ve been petsitting in my neighborhood since the summer of 2019. I am offering overnight services! My schedule varies throughout the year, but I’m generally flexible and will work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs! I prefer not to bring any pets into my home. However, I am more comfortable with staying overnight in the owner’s home with the pets!
“Erica is a jackpot find on Rover! She is a dog trainer and trains her personal dogs for competition sports, so she can handle pretty much anything! My reactive, energetic GSD loved all her attention and expertise. She's a great communicator and goes the extra mile to make sure your pets are taken care of. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Luke did great walking our large dog, Mozzie! He took him on long walks and always made sure he had enough water before going back in his crate. Luke followed all of our instructions and took great care of Mozzie and our home. We will definitely book him to walk Mozzie again!”
“Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child starting with my personal dog. I have experience with administering medication and treating wounds. I also have experience with taking care of dogs that are not mine. I have taken care of my family friends dog for about a year. I have experience with taking care of dogs of all sizes. I am currently working a 9-5 full time job I will be able to take care of pets anytime after work and I have full availability on the weekends. When taking care of pets I always stay respectful and mindful of the owner’s boundaries. I make sure to show the animals plenty of love and care.
“Christopher was absolutely great with my eight month old puppy, who had never had a dog walker before. He kept me updated and was always communicative. He also went the extra mile, playing with Honey after her walks. I highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has been caring for dogs my entire life. I grew up with a Labrador mix and later helped raise a Great Pyrenees and Saint Bernard mix during my college years. From family pets to dogs belonging to neighbors and family friends, I've spent most of my life walking, feeding, training, playing with, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make them comfortable, safe, and happy while they're in my care. These days I live in an apartment, so I don't have a dog of my own. That's one of the reasons I'm excited to join Rover. I genuinely miss spending time with dogs and would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by providing dependable walks and attentive care. Whether your dog loves long walks, a slower pace, or just some extra attention and affection, I'll treat them like they're my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I'm available for dog walks throughout the weekend. If you need a dependable weekend walker, I'd love to help! At this time, I only offer services in my clients' homes and outdoor walks. Because of my apartment's lease restrictions and limited space, I'm not able to host pets in my own home. I'll follow your dog's established routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed and with instructions), and any specific care requests. I believe consistency helps dogs feel secure, so I'll do my best to maintain their normal routine while you're away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own. I'll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“William was great! He was reliable, flexible, understanding, patient and very nice. He did great with my two dogs. One of them requires special attention during walks. Will did exceptional. Definitely will be telling my family and friends about him so they can use him too, I know I will be! Thanks again William!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies/kittens to senior pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and care needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away because they know I'll treat them like my own. I'm patient, dependable, and happy to stick to each pet's normal routine. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm currently looking for a full-time position, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they're happy and comfortable is something I genuinely look forward to. I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and provide consistent care. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed as possible while you're away. I know every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before I begin caring for them. Whether I'm in your home or caring for them in mine, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment. I'll follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any house rules you have. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care.

“Melissa was so patience, gentle and kind to my American Bulldog while I was away at the beach for the week. She took things slowly with him, understanding that he's not trusting of all humans. In turn, Otis warmed up to her very quickly, which made my vacation so much more relaxing! She made sure he had everything he needed, and gave him lots of praise and love. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

Luke did great walking our large dog, Mozzie! He took him on long walks and always made sure he had enough water before going back in his crate. Luke followed all of our instructions and took great care of Mozzie and our home. We will definitely book him to walk Mozzie again!
Kay did such a wonderful job handling our old girl. She went above and beyond when Miss Peppers developed a troubled tummy the day before her first walk. Kay kept me well informed, cleaned up some mess (above and beyond!) and checked in to see if she was feeling better. Kay was also flexible about changing a walk day when our plans changed at the last minute.
Ariana was fantastic! I was watching my friends dog and she is such a scared dog. She really worked with her and while she couldn’t get her out on the first walk to no fault of hers she took such care of her and it was truly sweet to see that by the end she let her pet her and no issues when she came to walk her and Ali again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Colchester on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 15,133 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Colchester. 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 your Colchester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood 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, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Colchester.

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 Colchester. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
