About: So many dog walkers and sitters, how do you choose? I have been a dog trainer and handler for over 11 years. I am certified pet first aid and CPR. Through my hard work and attention to detail I've earned the trust of working with canine support teams, trainer Shawn Baxendale out of Los Angeles and two prominent rescues Wylder's and Lucky Puppy. I have your dogs well being at heart. I am highly responsible and reliable in caring for your family pet. If you like we can schedule a meet and greet so that you can get a feel for who I am and also see that your pet would be staying in a safe and clean environment. My purpose is safety, comfort and fun I work from home so I am available to play with your pups and provide any care that is needed for your beloved family pets. I have a fenced in yard with nice green grass and two pups to help me keep your doggies company. I have toys and balls to engage your pet so they get some exercise and if allowed I take them for walks. My main objective is always safety but I also make sure your pup feels comfortable and loved. I give your pet a home away from home experience. This is not a loud and crowded facility where your dogs will sit by the gate in anticipation of your return and or have to wait for a place to rest or some attention. I also do have crates available if needed.
“I was somewhat hesitant to bring someone new into the house I have a Cane Corso even though he's still a puppy however she sent me videos and pictures and he warmed up to her real quick which I know he likes the girls LOL he look like he was happy which is exactly what I want for my baby I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her again”

About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was a small child--we had a couple different pups while I was growing up. As I got older, friends, coworkers, and family members began to ask me if I could dog-sit for them. Even weeks at a time!

I only work 2 days a week, but this is from 7pm-7am. All other days I have full availability with your furry crew! I would treat your baby the same way you do!

I have spent many hours cuddled or playing with puppies, kittens, cat, dogs, or even the older crowd that just liked to be loved on! No job is too big or small for me! I hope to meet your fur baby or babies! In addition, I would love to send you many updates and pictures on your babies while you are away! I am a full time vet tech but my fiancé works 1st shift so he is home by 2 everyday. There will always be someone home with your baby! I want the fur baby to have just as much of a vacation as their parents have!

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Haven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 390 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 your 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 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 Haven.
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 Haven. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
