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 taken care of several dogs in the past of different ages. This care has included walks, dog sitting overnight and drop in’s. Some of the dogs have required medication and specialized diets. I am currently in a masters program for Occupational Therapy. I am available Monday-Thursday in the morning, Friday nights and Saturday-Sunday all day. I am near some parks with lots of grassy areas and am in a good neighborhood. I will make sure to be attentive to their needs, give them affection and keep them safe during our outings. I will abide by food restrictions and will adjust locations of walks depending on if the dogs are dog friendly/aggressive.

About: I speak Spanish, so feel free to communicate however is better for you! I have personally helped my family and friends with pet sitting since I was a kid. I’ve been scooping poop and petting animals for a long time. I love to be active and can easily adapt if your pet doesn’t. My availability is completely flexible and open to fit your needs! I can be up as early as you need or as late! I currently live with a dog so it is like first nature to provide for your pet’s needs :) As someone who loves animals and also children, certain safety precautions are necessary in my mind. I, also, love to update and share pictures with parents who miss their babies!

About: Whether you need a simple walk, overnight care, or more specialized services (like drop-in visits for feeding and playtime), I offer a variety of flexible options to fit your dog’s routine and your schedule. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see your dog enjoying their time, knowing they're in great hands. I currently have a rather flexible schedule because I only work freelance so I can make plenty of time for your pets and their needs. When I care for pets at your home, I make sure to stick to your pet's usual schedule—whether that’s feeding, walking, or playtime. This routine consistency helps reduce stress and keeps them comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life — four dogs, a cat, hamsters, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities. Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs, from quick walks to full days of care while owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, so I can offer consistent care — whether it’s a single walk, daily drop-ins, or a longer house sit. I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible part-time schedule, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m generally available afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and can often accommodate short-notice requests as well. I’m not able to host pets at my own home, so I focus on drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting at the owner’s home. When caring for pets in their own environment, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, make sure all doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on the pet at all times to ensure their safety and comfort.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Darien

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Darien on Rover is $33.3 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,019 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 your Darien. 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 Darien.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
