About: I have 4 years of experience walking dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I have been a dog- and cat-sitter for my friends and family for as long as I can remember (mostly because I beg to have the opportunity to play with their pets!) I own rats and birds right now so having dogs and cats of my own is unfortunately out of the question, but I love them all the same - I ask to say hi to every dog I see on the streets! I will love your furbabies like my own! I’m working part time with an extremely flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! Any day and at nearly any time, I can come take your pets for a walk or play with them. I am available at a moments notice in case of any emergencies as well! I care deeply about ensuring that animals are safe, comfortable, and enriched. I will make sure to pay attention to an animal’s personality, boundaries, preferences, and body language to ensure that they feel comfortable and respected.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid, and have always had dogs in my home growing up! I like to treat every pet as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I am happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I always prioritize safety and communication with the owners. I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well-cared for. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with animals! I'm currently a Yale Law student so I have a flexible schedule for walks and care! I'm happy to help on weekdays and weekends. I have no other pets, so your pet will feel comfy and get all the attention they deserve. My environment is usually quiet and peaceful.

“Gabriela was great! She was super adaptable and stopped over on such short notice to meet Steve the night before we needed a walker. She handled all of our needs, kept us updated on everything and provided pictures of her walk with Steve! She did a great job and we know Steve had fun on his walk. We highly recommend Gabriela and we will be using her again in the future”

About: I love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours soon! I have been walking dogs on platforms such as a Wag for over 5 years. I am excited to dog sit now as well. I am currently a full time student at Yale University. I am happy to accommodate for any schedule outside of my class schedule and meetings! My apartment is a safe and clean environment. It is spacious and in a walkable area with green spaces that your dog can enjoy. I will provide your dog with the appropriate amount and type of food and fresh water. Furthermore, I will be so happy to provide exercise and playtime.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My first dog was an Alaskan husky and I have walked him, fed him, and bathed him. Throughout the years I have taken in 2 more dogs and have given them the same care as my first dog. I also have extensive experience taking care of other pet animals such as quails and rabbits and watching my aunts dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I can fit dog walking, sitting, and/or caring into my schedule at anytime! I am super flexible in regards to time and place. For dog grooming, I am available after 5pm Monday through Friday, anytime on weekends :) I feed my dogs 3 times a day, and give them treats as a reward for positive reinforcement. I also bathe them once a week & take them walking right after they are done eating. I have taken care of my aunts dogs by staying in her home or caring for them in my home. I have services such as dog beds, leashes, different kinds of dog food and treats, and a few clothes!

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for about 5 years, in addition to caring for cats and dogs my whole life. I focus on aligning your pet’s care to your standards and routines, and of course giving them all my love. My most recent kitty clients have been drop ins off of Rover and my old roommate’s 2 cats! I now live with a sweet kitty, and I frequently take over his care when his owner is out of town. From the ages of 11-18 I took responsibility to care for 4 cats and 1 hyper husky. These days, I don’t have my own furry friend. Let me give yours all the love I have! I work from home full-time with an adjustable schedule! We can easily coordinate something that works best for both of us, with your pet’s care at the forefront. For home visits, I will work directly with you to create standards that best serve your furry friend. I follow care instructions precisely and also make sure to spend abundant time playing or simply giving your pet company!

About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, so I’m familiar with the care, attention, and patience that dogs need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping dogs on their usual routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can work with your pet’s routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the stay so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and responsibility. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines and any specific instructions you provide, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ll also keep your home clean and secure and communicate with you regularly so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

About: I've been pet-sitting for over ten years. I've sat for heaps of homes with various pets including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, bunnies, and even joeys! The majority of my housesits have been for households with multiple dogs of varying breeds and needs. I've cared for elderly dogs with mobility and vision impairments, reactive/anxious pups, large and small breeds with ranging energy levels. I'm experienced providing walks/play, administering medication, giving baths and brushes, prepping meals, and obviously providing all the love and attention (as is fit based on the individual pet's personality). In addition to housesits, I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering pups in South Korea, volunteering with dog and cat rescues abroad, and doing drop-in animal care visits. My focus when sitting is assuring pets feel safe and loved while away from their loved ones. I understand separation can be difficult for both pets and owners. I'm keen to provide regular updates and photos of desired, and make time apart as cruisy and comfortable as possible. I am flexible with availability. I'm currently living at home with heaps of free-time, so I'm open to working with a schedule that'd work best for you whether it be full time, part time, or a one time position. I provide compassionate care suited to each individual pet. I'm happy to learn about your dog's likes and needs, and keen to send updates during visits.

About: I have been housesitting, dog and cat sitting for about 15 years now as a side gig. I have several references and usually rely on word of mouth referrals. I am free most weekends and holidays, with some flexibility during the week for drop in visits. I live in the New Haven area but am willing to travel for gigs. I am happy to house-sit but am unable to bring pets into my home. I am good with animals of all types and have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages.

About: Great to meet you! I have over 14 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from dogs to cats to snakes, bearded dragons, and even ants (yes I know)... and the list goes on! Ever since I can remember, I've always loved animals (dogs especially). To fulfill my wish to have a pet, I began volunteering at a local animal shelter and would frequently visit just to spend time with some of the animals and give them some love. There, I was able to learn how to better care for our furry friends, both elderly and young. Being able to play with them was just a bonus for me! While your dog is with me they will have access to a big fenced yard to play in and enjoy. If you'd prefer them to stay in their natural environment, that's fine too! Whatever makes them most comfortable, I'm happy to provide. Every pet's needs & wants are different, which I take the time to acknowledge when caring for them. My top priority is making sure your pets are safe, loved, and content while you're away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help! Thanks for considering me! I love to start our mornings off with a nice hike or walk at my nearby beach, typically about 2 miles. The afternoons will do a shorter walk and have some outdoor playtime. Ultimately, our day will be reflective of what your pups specific needs are. Working from home, your pets will get plenty of time and attention in my care! While boarding, they will have access to roam and play about in a fenced in yard under my supervision. Rest assured, I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. Making sure also to give you daily updates so you know your pup is well cared for!

About: Ever since I was little, i’ve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, i’ve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and i’ve known to take care of them in the serious moments when they’re sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but we’ve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Haven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in New Haven is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 3,084 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Haven. 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 New Haven. 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 New Haven 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 New Haven. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
