“Holly is a dependable, trustworthy and loving person. I highly recommend her. I know my dog is in great hands when she’s in charge of taking care of him. She’s been working with me for almost a year now and she’s absolutely wonderful. If you need someone that you can trust and depend on to take care of your pet as well as you do, you need to hire Holly.”
“Stefanie was great with our little pup! He absolutely adored his walks and is looking forward to his next time with Stefanie! She was always prompt and sent us updates that we always laughed at!”
“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.”
“Nicole was great with our dog, Odey, on his first walk! She was patient, communicative, and shared lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Especially helpful given his separation anxiety. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Victoria is absolutely AMAZING! I feel so lucky to have found her. Gus is an older guy and means the absolute world to me, so I’m incredibly particular about who I trust with him. Victoria is kind, reliable, communicative, and so genuinely caring with him. I have complete peace of mind knowing Gus is in such wonderful hands. He absolutely adores her — and so do I! Could not recommend Victoria more highly! ❤️🐾”
“Emily was great! Availed herself last minute on Valentines Day to walk my little guy, not once but twice. She maintained communication throughout the entire time and I know my boy was well taken care! Thank you Emily, we will be reaching out again: Linus seemed happy and content!”
“Carol is highly communicative, on time, and very good with my cranky older dog. She followed our instructions to a T, which we appreciate! Our dog can’t wait to walk with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ve also helped care for my family dog for 6 years and have experience caring for cats. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💗 I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings after work and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide your pets with plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and will follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. 🐾
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I currently have have one dog, a pittie lab mix, and I love taking care of her. Happy to work with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I work a full time job that is remote. Advance notices are appreciated for cancellation. I can do same day booking if it’s between 12-1 or outside of regular office hours. Would love to work with your furry friends. I have a dog and a dog friendly apartment with lots of space for walking in private grounds. I take dogs on walks with plenty of treats for active training.
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'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog his meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cos Cob
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!
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.
