“Stefanie was amazing! I needed some last minute help and she was super responsive and wonderful. My boy was safe in her hands and I really look forward to working with her again!”
“Holly is a fantastic dog walker and companion to our dog Lady. She takes incredible care of her and always has. She has been helping us every week for over a year and a half. We love Holly and can’t recommend her enough. If you need someone reliable, communicative, and great with dogs, Holly is the perfect person. Lady is always a little skittish with new people but warmed up to Holly right away and loves her. We are so grateful for the care she gives!”
“We absolutely loved Madie! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and helpful, and our Doris was so well taken care of. She had the best time! You can immediately tell Madie is a true dog lover, which made us feel completely at ease. We would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Madie, for taking such great care of our girl! ❤️”
“Nicole is amazing! She sends consistent and frequent communication during walks - and tons of pictures! I will definitely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Ashley and Mauricio were great to work with! So kind and communicative. They treated my dog like their own and were so good to him. They were very reliable and I would 100% book them again.”
“Tara seriously made this trip so easy for us. We’ve been using her since November 2023 for weekly walks and for trips when we’re away, so the dogs already know and love her. This was a longer stretch, and she handled it flawlessly. She followed a pretty packed schedule every single day. Early morning feed + walks around 6:30–8, midday walks, evening walks, and then late-night feed + walks. It was a full routine, and she stayed consistent the entire time. I really appreciated how thorough she is. We didn’t have to check in or worry about anything. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, so we always knew the boys were taken care of and happy. You could tell they were totally relaxed and in their normal routine. She also has a great feel for them. Not just checking the boxes of feeding and walking, but actually paying attention to how they’re doing, keeping them comfortable, and giving them real attention during each visit. She’s always on time, super responsive, and easy to coordinate with. At this point, she’s such a steady part of our routine that leaving town doesn’t feel stressful anymore. She’s the best! I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”
“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”
“Michael was our primary walker for Winston and he was INCREDIBLE with him. Winston is a BIG puppy and has a lot of energy and love to give and Michael handled him like a pro, while keeping us informed along the way. You’d be lucky to have him as your walker. Our dog Winston LOVES him. We definitely will be booking again.”
“Josh is everything you want in a dog walker. He is 100% reliable and he communicates often and promptly. And of course he loves pets and he will make sure that your pet is extremely well cared for. If you have any special instructions Josh will adhere to them perfectly. So if you hire Josh you will know that your pet is in excellent hands and you can have total peace of mind.”
“Bo came back from his walk with Shawn happy and exhausted! I appreciated Shawn’s detailed notes about his time with Bo and that he took the time to do Bo’s favorite things with him- play fetch and take a stroll.”

I am so grateful to Stefanie for taking care of my 6-month old puppy. Between walks, cuddles, playing in the grass, he received the best care. She also went above and beyond to keep an eye on my cat and make fast friends with her. Beautiful messages and photos kept my mind at ease, while giving a glimpse into how happy and content my kiddos are with her. I can't say enough good things about Stefanie -- I recommend her highly and am so glad we found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Cos Cob on Rover is $27.75 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 21,601 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cos Cob. 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 Cos Cob. 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 Cos Cob.

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 Cos Cob. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
