Our dog loves Jennifer! She was a huge help while we were away from home for the day and gave us peace of mind that he was being well cared for. Thank you, Jennifer!

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.

I knew I found someone special when my shy, skittish 8 month old puppy warmed up to Alexandra immediately. I’m a nervous Mama when it comes to my dogs and my mind was put at ease after our meet and greet. My 13 year old can’t see out of one eye and Alexandra knew how to navigate that. She walked them three times in one day (once in the rain!) and I came home to two happy pups.

About: I've worked as a dog bather at two different dog grooming salons, where I gained experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My partner and I have also owned and cared for pets our whole life—we have 5 cats and regularly dog sit our family members' dogs. My partner and I work well as a team to make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and the best care possible. We also have experience working in the cleaning industry, so we understand the importance of keeping spaces safe, clean, and comfortable for animals. We currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We take a daily run and would be happy to bring an energetic dog along if it’s something they’re comfortable with. We also go to the gym each evening from 8–10 PM, but outside of that we are home and available. Because of our flexible routine, we can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, at work, or just need a break for the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. We have experience caring for both dogs and cats and currently have 5 cats of our own, so we’re very familiar with daily pet care routines. We follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and special needs. With our flexible schedule, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

Dependable and caring! I recently moved to the area and Kathy has been stopping by to give my pup a walk every day as I ease back into the office after working from home during the pandemic. Kathy is trustworthy and loves my pup and treats her as well as I do and that’s why I highly recommend her. It’s easy for anyone to show up on time, but hard for someone to really give you peace of mind your furry friend is in great hands. Kathy delivers on both!

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Campbell! 🐾 I know how important it is to find someone who cares for your pets the way you do. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I bring patience, reliability, and plenty of love to every visit. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I pride myself on making sure tails wag, paws stay happy, and owners feel at ease. Think of me as your pet’s new best friend (with a pocket full of treats). Right now I’m lucky enough to have a very flexible schedule, which means pet care can be my top priority. I’m currently between jobs and excited to dedicate my time full-time to caring for pets. Whether it’s weekday walks, weekend drop-ins, or last-minute needs, I have the availability (and energy!) to give your pets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure — from feeding times to favorite toys and walking routes. I always double-check leashes, doors, and gates to keep them safe, and I’ll send plenty of updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while keeping your pet happy, loved, and cared for. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your furry family member will feel welcome. I make sure they have a cozy, comfortable environment and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, and snuggles are all part of the routine, and I keep their feeding and care schedule consistent with what they’re used to at home. I treat every pet like my own, so you can relax knowing they’re in a safe, loving environment. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 social and lovable dogs that they will become instant besties with and can keep each other company!

About: A little about me… I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with larger breeds like Boxers and now have two English Cocker Spaniels, along with my mom’s corgis! I’ve cared for even small animals like bunnies! I started pet sitting at 12 and have continued ever since, so I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and understanding their individual needs. I know that every pet is different, some need frequent walks and bathroom breaks (like my small doggies!), while others prefer a more relaxed routine, and I’m attentive to those differences. Having grown up in New Canaan, I’m familiar with the area and the types of routines and care local pet owners expect. Whether your dog needs long walks, structured care, or just some extra attention while you’re away. Happy to discuss with you what your pet needs are! I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and attentive throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m able to provide consistent supervision, bathroom breaks, and attention as needed. I especially love caring for puppies and more active dogs. I’m happy spending time walking in the morning, mid day, and evening to ensure they stay active! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, behavior, and comfort level to make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and understand the importance of things like proper leashing, secure doors and gates, and supervised play at all times.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Canaan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in New Canaan on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,842 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Canaan. 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 New Canaan. 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 New Canaan.

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 New Canaan. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
