About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about animal care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so I have a lot of free time. Why not spend time with furry friends! It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.

About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
About: I have had a dog myself for 10 years now and he has been a blessing for me to really learn how dogs think. Being able to take of him for the last 10 years has given me the experience I need to be able to take care of your pet as well. I currently work full time but I do have the flexibility to go and check on your pet during the day if you are local to me or else I am free after 4pm during the week. I am also free on the weekends from 8am - 8pm. I would also be available for overnight boarding at your home. I always make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks and playtime and any specific care instructions you provide as I know that some dogs are very sensitive to any change. I can also provide daily photos or videos so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Carol is great with our lil Shih Tzu Badger! She responds to messages promptly, she’s punctual, and we can rely on her to manage our leash-reactive man. We highly recommend her services!”
About: I’m a caring, reliable dog lover with hands on experience raising my own Maltese and Yorkie. I understand the attention, patience, and consistency dogs need, especially smaller breeds. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. It’s helped me build trust and confidence in caring for dogs in others’ homes. I enjoy long walks around Harbor Point and always prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m available on weekdays after 3:30 PM due to a school schedule, with increased flexibility during school breaks and throughout the summer. Occasional weekend availability. I always prioritize safety, trust, and your dog’s routine when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions closely, make sure your dog is safely leashed before walks, and stay attentive to our surroundings at all times. I also take care when entering and leaving your home by checking doors and gates, and I always treat your space with respect. Every dog is cared for with the same compassion and reliability I give my own.
About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life and love them with all I have. I know how to tire them out and make sure your dog or cat has fun! I also have basic skills in training. I am available most days of the week and very flexible with scheduling. I’m taking a gap year from college and would love to care for your furry family companion. What I can provide are daily runs, walks, play time at the nearby dog park and family members who also love dogs and would be available to give some extra love. I also have two very loving dogs, one is partially disabled and very docile, the other is young and loves interacting with new furry friends.
About: I have been taking care of my own and others animals for 10+ years. My experience is in both pet sitting and pet walking for animals of all sizes. I am comfortable with all breeds of pets and working with multiple animals at once. In addition, I am comfortable administering medication. I work from home and in downtown Stamford so I am able to take breaks during the day to walk, feed or entertain the animal in another way. Also allows me to stay with the animal during working hours if needed. I live in an apartment building that is pet friendly. If it is needed to host your pet, they would be able to stay as long as they are comfortable in a high rise/downtown area.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Cos Cob is $24
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cos Cob
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 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 21,502 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
- 93% 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.
