“Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Jenn is so great. She is very responsive and dependable. She is a dog lover and a very nice person! Penny is always excited to go for a walk with her. Thanks for being there when I need you, Jenn!”
“Casey was great! She was right on time for the walk with my puppy Brandy, took her around my neighborhood and even played with her a bit inside before putting her back in the crate.”
About: I treat my dog as if he were my own biological son and I will gladly make sure your furry friends are as comfortable as possible when they’re with me. I have experience with medium to small dogs, old dogs, puppies, and cats with asthma. My love for animals goes so far back that I wrote in my Elementary school year book that my dream job was to be a Dog Walker when I grew up! I am currently in between jobs and have the ability to be more present and available for any animal needs throughout the day/week. If I were to find full time employment it would be remote work, so either way, I am always available to your furry friends ☺️ I want to keep your little ones on their usual schedule, doing things exactly how you typically do things. I will stick to any snack or food guidelines you have and will happily help with any medications or special needs required. I am very patient and understand that all dogs have different personalities just like us. My hope is that we will have some fun and get some daily exercise at the same time.
“Cheryl and Elmar took such great care of our dog Peanut! They were even able to accommodate us when we needed emergency doggy care on short notice after our flights were canceled - we are so grateful! Peanut also had so much fun on his walks with them, he was so excited and waited by the door for them! Highly highly recommend!”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Sam. We'd give him a 10 if that was possible! He took such great care of our dog, Cooper. This is the first time in 6+ years, since we got Cooper, that we've ever been away from him overnight, let alone a weekend as we just were. Sam communicated after each visit and sent us pictures, as well. We highly recommend you book him for your dog-sitting needs”
“Craig walked our 75-pound husky-lab mix, Hondo. Hondo was very excited every time Craig came over. They had an automatic bond. Craig sent us photos before and after their walks. Hondo looked like one happy pup. We would definitely use Craig again and highly recommend him. Thank you, Craig, for taking such good care of our "baby."”
“Maia’s soooooo great and helpful! She showed up on time and is great with our puppy! He could be shy but warmed up to Maia very quickly - he couldn’t wait to see her again. Maia also took pictures and was responsive and detailed about the puppy - already planning to book again in the future. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have over 7 years volunteering as a Dog Foster for a local rescue group. I love being around all kinds of animals and enjoy being out in nature. I have fostered and trained over 35 dogs including my own rescue pup Amber. If you have a feisty pup and would like me to train yours, I can also train your dog while in my care for an additional fee. Upon request, I can teach sit, stay, paw, high five, crate training, walking on a leash and playtime. Although I am not a licensed dog trainer I am fully capable of getting you the results you seek through love, patience and repetition. Just come meet Amber, she is perfectly trained and I can do the same for your furbaby. I have many references which I can provide at your request. I look forward to hearing from you and caring for your furbaby as though she/he were my own. Please note: Rover does not have a section to ck off for training so it would be based on request. Rover also does not list a Ck off for teenage children in the house; I have two (One 17 year old and one 19 year old) Also, my beautiful loving cat Madonna recently passed of old age in March of 2019 she was 17 years old. May she rest peacefully in Gods heavenly kingdom for our furbabies.

“This was my second time booking with Camila And she’s great. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her, it is clear that she cares about all the dogs she walks. I will definitely always reuse Camila”

“Jing is fantastic! I contacted her at the last minute looking for a dog walker for my puppy as my current walker is on vacation. Jing responded immediately and scheduled a meet & greet. My puppy absolutely loved her. Jing communicated with me throughout the walk and sent pictures too. She put my mind at ease while I was at work because I knew my puppy was being taken care of and having a great time! I highly recommend Jing. She’s reliable, efficient, and trustworthy. I will continue to work with her in the future!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Peter! He was incredibly easy to work with and responded right away, even on short notice. Although we didn’t meet in person, we felt completely at ease thanks to clear communication and the videos we sent him in advance. Peter went above and beyond by sharing lots of great photos of our dog, Captain, during their time together—which really put our minds at ease. Captain absolutely loved him, and it showed! We’re so grateful for Peter’s care and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I'm Eric, and I've been a dog lover all my life, I have experience helping my pets give birth to their offspring and feeding them with formulated milk at their earliest stage, and taking care of them to their senior years. I own two Shih Tzus named Piccolo and Didith. I often go to Van Saun Dog Park to give my own pets and other pet guests some exercise and feel the nature. My utmost priority is the SAFETY and COMFORT of my pet guests. Dog Boarding is overnight or 24hr. Stay. Doggy Day Care drop-offs are around 7-9 am, and pick-ups are around 4-6 pm. I am working online in the comfort of my home so they will not be alone and I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. Whenever I feed my pet guests, I separate them with baby fences, and during their playtime, I watch them closely to avoid any untoward incident.

Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.
Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!
Karen was absolutely wonderful. She was very friendly, always showed up on time, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She stayed in constant communication with both my wife and me, which gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — 10/10 would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in New Milford on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 27,903 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Milford. 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 Milford. 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 Milford.
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 Milford. On Rover:
- 88% 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 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.
