About: We love dogs, and have small loving family. I work from home and we are around on weekends, so are perfect for when you need a weekend or week of dog sitting. Our lives have always included dogs, and love spending time with them! We both have experience with puppies and older dogs, and we love going for walks. We have two boys (Archie 6 and Eddie 3) and a lab/vizsla coco (9) and we are all dog lovers! I take coco for two walks a day, which are about 1 mile. I would love to have another dog to take on our walks! We cannot wait to meet your dog and spend quality time with them. I work from home so I will have a lot of time to spend with your dog!

“Juliana is wonderful! My dog is not the easiest all of the time, and Juliana was willing to come over several times in one week just to give my dog some time to get to know her. And, the fact that my dog warmed up so quickly is a testament to how well Juliana is able to connect with animals! Thank you, Juliana!”
“Sam always does a spectacular job, our dogs absolutely adore her and she treats them with such love and respect that I honestly don't even worry when we're away because I know they're in good hands. She goes above and beyond to send pictures and updates and will sit with the pups after their walk to give them pets and talk to them. She always works with us to meet our time schedule needs for walks and treats our home with respect as well. I can't say enough about how much we appreciate that we found such a trustworthy and reliable walker for our two little dogs! They have the best time with her on their walks and when we come home from our trips they're less stressed and more just happy to see us because they've gotten proper exercise and lovins in our absence. Thanks again for the walks, Tater and Abby will be excited to see us leave next time so they can get more! Haha”

He genuinely cares for the pets and people he helps. I highly recommend hiring Joey. I will definitely be reaching out to him again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
Michelle is fantastic! She communicates well, always lets me know when she arrives and sends the cutest pictures. She is super dependable and trustworthy. We also have an escape artist cat, and she’s always super careful to not let him get out. She truly goes above and beyond. I’m so glad that we’ve been able to book her on multiple occasions!! Maverick is happy too!
We couldn’t be happier with John -- he walks our three dogs! He is incredibly attentive, reliable, and punctual, with excellent communication every step of the way. Johns attention to detail gives us complete peace of mind, and it’s clear how much he genuinely care about our dogs. We always feel confident knowing they’re in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!
Veronika came to the rescue on very short notice. She handled my very timid chihuahua mix without any difficulty. She arrived right on time, sent photos of each walk with my dog and demonstrated an understanding of my dog's needs with much warmth. I found her to be a trustworthy and capable. I would hire her again without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Darien on Rover is $22.2 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 12,912 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.

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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
