“Grace was great the 2 days she walked Vader and Cooper this week. She encountered a bump with a chewed off harness and was able to think quickly and finish her walks. I've used her 4 times in 2 weeks and I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I used to work for the pet sitter company for the last 5 years and working with many various of sized dogs including cats. Willing to take care of special needs pets. I also can cover your fish feeding, lizards, and ferrets if needed. Hit me up. We can plan a planning. Woof woof! I’m currently self - employed part time. I’m usually available on many days. Would like to walk early morning and midday when you’re going to work or far away. Can cover the same pet in evening if something happens suddenly. Unfortunately, I live in someone’s place and have to follow his policies. No pets allowed in my home but good news I can take care of your pets in your sweet home.
About: I have cared for all different breeds and sizes of dogs over the years. I grew up with large and small dogs and have pet sit for coworkers with large dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. I recently lost my soul dog to hemangiosarcoma and want to make a difference for other dogs and provide the care they need. I just do not have it in my heart to remove her from my profile just yet. My girl had special needs such as leash/barrier reactivity, aggression, and a bite history prior to adopting her. I am comfortable working with dogs with those needs as well. She had taken several medications over the years and I am comfortable giving pet meds. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday, I am usually available on weekends. I would also be willing to board dogs during the days that I work as I don’t work too far from home. I have a fenced back yard to play in and an XXL crate or a dog bed for dogs who require those sleeping arrangements. I am a dogs on furniture household for those who like to sleep on the couch.
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.
About: Im available all the time and have a lot of time with my own dog and I have a cat too. I’ve taken care of a senior dog I adopted and trained my current dog pretty well. My day is open. The only thing that’s ever on my calendar is getting my daughters to school. Other than that, I’m usually home. I have a fenced yard and my dog is really friendly. The yard is on the smaller side but still has plenty of places to run around.
“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!!”
“Benji simply adores Kay! She is attentive and adventurous — taking him on nice long walks in our neighborhood. She is timely and thoughtful - sending periodic photos to check-in on his well-being and responding to any inquiries with minutes. To put it plainly, she deserves five stars — would absolutely recommend!”
About: i’ve taken care of multiple of my family dogs while they went on trips etc, and i have had pets of my own to take care of. As small as rabbits/rats/birds to a cat/husky now. i’m currently working to save money for when i’m able to move out, i’ll be able to work around my work schedule to make things work. i’ll watch them with great care. i love animals with a passion. From small like a hamster to big like a Great Dane. I have passions for any and everything, including exotics.
About: I’ve worked with other dogs before and genuinely enjoy making them happy. I also love observing how well I get along with them and forming connections with them. It fits perfectly because I work with dogs every day, and I love coming back to hang out with them every chance I get. I love making connections. I ensure that they have access to certain things and refrain from feeding them anything that could make them ill. Additionally, I provide them with information about the activities they can engage in to prevent them from falling sick.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 14,961 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.
