“Sam never fails to go above and beyond with her care. She gives long walks and even takes extra time to sit and give pets and love afterwards (and even checks food and water, how nice!) Our dogs absolutely adore her and she's always so helpful and gives us such peace of mind that our lil pups are in the best of hands. We honestly feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and trustworthy walker to keep our dogs happy while we're away!”

“Megan is great with my dog. She is great about in touch before, during and after her time with him. I really like that she had a background in animal sciences. Makes me feel really comfortable knowing someone so good with animals is walking my dog :)”
About: I have a 9 year old dog and 2 cats. I enjoy hanging out with them and keeping each other company. They definitely have taught me patience. I’m currently working a part time job and looking to stay close to home to take care of my own fur babies. I know everyone works and sometimes it helps to know someone can stop by and keep your fur baby some company. I like instructions on what their pet likes and requires. I would be at their house. I would want to stay on their routine so they feel happy.
About: My family has always had pets in our home. From a young age I've been interested in the emotions and health of our furry friends. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups all evening! Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available all day but Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays I am available after 4:00 PM. Aside from daily walks, I will ensure they're eating a balanced meal based on a specific schedule as well as plenty of playtime to prevent boredom.
“Emily is reliable, flexible, responsive to messages, provides great communication and very detailed reports on all of her walks with our fur baby. She is an all around great find and we are happy to have her as our dog walker.”
About: Hi there! I Created this account years ago to seek out my own sitters for my fur babies and now finding myself looking to be your next pet sitter. ❤️ My love for all animals begin as a little girl growing up. There has never been a time in my life that I did not have a pet or two! Pets to me are family and deserve to be cared for, loved and respected as each one of us. I believe by being a gentle friend and patient caretaker for your cherished furry family member, we can form a trusting bond, while you have peace of mind leaving them in my care. I have years of expierence caring for healthy, sick and elderly pets and know just how important those small little details can be when it comes to the care of your pet, to just as how important burning off that extra energy can be for those long hours until you get home. I also have experience caring for rodents, reptiles and fish and can care for them too! ❤️ I am also an active dog walker and dog sitter on WAG and Care! Reference's available upon request! I am a retired business owner and part time real estate broker and work mainly from home. I have a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to caring for your pets. Keeping your pet safe is my main concern always! Ensuring they can trust me and feel comfortable with me in their environment or mine matters dearly to me also!
“Jennifer is great! She is extremely reliable and genuinely loves dogs. Jennifer treats my dog as if she were her own, which gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Jennifer - you won’t regret hiring her!”
“Heather did a great job walking and feeding Rex at the last minute. She was punctual, and checked with us to see if Rex needed anything. We will be using Heather more in the future.”
About: Pets are family too, they deserve just as much love, care, and attention. I welcome and love all dog breeds, cats, and other fur babies. I work remotely, with a flexible schedule and usually free on the weekends - so I can be pretty accomdating to fit your fur babies needs and make sure they get plently of attention and care. I will respect the needs of the pet owners and their homes and do my best to make sure the pets feel comofrtable and safe, while also putting the owners mind at ease. I can host cats, but not dogs as I live in a smaller space but I am more than open to dog walking, dog sitting and overnights at the clients home. I understand leaving your pet can be stressful, so I want to provide the best experience possible!
“I cannot speak highly enough of Morgan. Most recently, I used her for daily walks for a foster dog that I had. Despite the challenge of walking a dog neither of us knew well, she was always so kind and patient. Her excellent communication skills were also greatly appreciated as I wanted to ensure I was getting any important information on this foster dog. I definitely plan to continue using her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
Destiny was amazing and my pup absolutely loves her. It takes a lot for me to trust someone with my dog, let alone coming in my home but she is absolutely wonderful. Constant updates when she is coming and sending me pictures while she is walking him are the best. Don’t hesitate to trust her with your loved ones!
I think my dog, Toby, likes Michelle more than me these days! But seriously. Michelle has been an outstanding caregiver to my German Shepherd. Toby is 10, stubborn, and disabled, so finding someone I can trust is key. Having to be in the office a few days a week has added a lot of new stress lately. At least I know Toby's in good hands when I'm not home. Thank Michelle for all that you do!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Darien is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 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 12,815 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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
