About: Hello! My name is Skyler and I am currently a mammal trainer at an AZA accredited aquarium with a background in veterinary care. I would love to help walk your dog, whether you have certain training goals or just needing extra help while you are at work! I started my career by walking my friend’s crazy, (but adorable) puppy in high school. I was able to help train the puppy during every walk, and left her tired out when her owner got home. I am off two of the busiest days of the week- Monday and Tuesday. I have full availability to do drop ins, daycare, or dog walks! I have an unfenced yard and plenty of grass out front. I take frequent trips to my local park that has tons of room to play.

About: I have two years of experience caring for a senior dog and a young cat, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and needs! I love making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also a full-time grad student with a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love staying on the move, and I’m always looking for a furry walking buddy to help me hit my daily step goal! Who says we can’t both get our steps in? As a full-time grad student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available seven days a week, with early mornings and mid-afternoons being especially convenient for me. That said, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and accommodate other times whenever possible. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or weekend visit, I’d love to help! I’ve cared for pets in different home environments, from houses with backyards to apartment buildings. I always make it a priority to respect your home, follow your pet’s usual routine, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away!

“We have been fortunate to have Alexandra as our dog walker, and we couldn't be happier with her services. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to her work. Our dog absolutely adores Alexandra, and it's easy to see why. She has a natural way with pets, and Winnie is always excited to see her. Alexandra is consistently punctual, which we greatly appreciate given our busy schedules. Her reliability gives us peace of mind, knowing that our dog is in good hands. What sets Alexandra apart is her attention to detail and the thoughtful updates she provides after each walk. We receive detailed notes about the walk, including any interesting encounters or observations about our dog's behavior. This level of communication is invaluable and reassures us that our pet is well cared for. Above all, Alexandra is incredibly trustworthy. We feel completely comfortable having her in our home, and it's clear that she treats our dog with the same care and respect as she would her own. If you're looking for a dedicated, professional, and caring dog walker, we wholeheartedly recommend Alexandra. She has truly become an important part of our pet's life, and we are grateful for her exceptional service.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’m an animal lover who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or extra cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently part time working! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are a big part of my life. I make time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I have two cats of my own, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and providing companionship, even when owners are away. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my schedule by dedicating time for visits, walks, check-ins, and giving each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to provide reliable, loving care for pets and peace of mind for their owners. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while respecting their normal routines. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and any special needs their pet may have. I understand that pets feel most comfortable when their routines stay consistent, so I do my best to make the experience as stress-free as possible. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm space where they can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether at my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: Having grown up with dogs my entire life and currently caring for 10 rescues of my own, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve cared for large, active breeds such as German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers, as well as Bluetick Coonhounds and mixed breeds. I’m familiar with the different needs of energetic working breeds, playful retrievers, and scent-driven hounds that love to explore on walks. I’ve also gained valuable experience caring for rescue dogs, including those who may be nervous, shy, or still adjusting to new environments. I understand that some dogs need extra patience and reassurance, while others require plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies, maintaining consistent feeding and walking schedules, reinforcing basic routines, and providing extra attention to older dogs who may need a slower pace. What sets me apart is that caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs is already part of my daily life. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they receive individualized care, attention, and affection! Caring for dogs and cats is already a big part of my everyday routine! With 10 rescue dogs of my own, I’m very familiar with balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure every dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits throughout Fairfield County and am happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, an energetic walk, some playtime, or extra companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help! I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to keep their routines as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Having experience with multiple rescue dogs has taught me the importance of understanding different personalities, recognizing body language, and respecting each dog’s individual boundaries. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routines, including feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any specific care needs. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may be nervous around new people, reactive to other dogs, or easily overstimulated in unfamiliar situations. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes and harnesses fit properly, and walks are appropriate for your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away!

These 2 ladies are excellent with their care and walks for my dog Frankie. They take the time to get to know her and what she likes. They communicate before they come and when they are walking her. They are timely and caring. They let me know when they are back from the walk. I will definitely use them again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Darien

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Darien is $33 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 6,918 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Darien. 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 Darien. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Darien after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Darien. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
