“I was a little nervous using a dog walker for the first time, but she made the whole experience so easy. She was great with Summer, communicated really well, and sent me updates, which I really appreciated. It was nice knowing Summer was being taken care of. I’m definitely happy with the experience and would use her again!”
“Where do I start? Aaron has been very professional from the start. He is great with my pitbull, which was a huge deal to find someone so comfortable with big dogs. He is VERY flexible with my schedule and working around it. He usually is available, or makes time, if I need him on short notice. He always communicates, is great with the rover cards, and has always been reliable!! If you need a sitter or walker or any services, Aaron is the guy!!!! I would recommend 10/10, 5 Stars. Thank you for everything Aaron, Blue and I appreciate everything you do!”

“Maria was great! She met with me and Ekko before walking him, listened to all my care instructions, and asked questions about his boundaries. She kept us updated after each walk, and Ekko seems to really like her!”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small kid! If you have 3 pups or more, I just charge for 2! When I turned 17 I worked at a doggy daycare called rover retreat, where I fell in love with taking care of dogs! I went to school in Colorado, my native state, for a couple of years, where I dog sat off and on. I decided to pick my life up and move to the city of Stamford with my to be closer with my girlfriend's family. I love to teach pups tricks and enrich the lives of all animals! Even if your pup is difficult or different, I can work with it:) I am experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetics, pets with medication. I've taught dogs how to run with a bicycle and how to do new tricks like handshake and wait. If you choose me, you're guaranteed someone with lots of experience and a big heart for your furry friend(s). My schedule is currently completely open for your pups' care!! I was in school for a couple of years in boulder, met a wonderful girl, and moved with her out east to the city of Stamford. I doordash other than dog sitting so I can easily accommodate. I watch over the client’s pup and give it all the affection and attention it needs while also maintaining decency and care for the space and all beings and things within.
About: I’ve worked for shelters throughout college and fostered multiple cats, my longest foster was a year! I currently have three cats of my own, adopted from various shelters in NYC and all are super friendly! I’m very good at socializing cats for children friendly homes as well! I’m currently working full time, but I live across the street from my office. So I constantly have easy access to my cats or any fur baby in my home! My schedule is flexible during the week and I am also able to do overnight stays in areas around Stamford! I have a pet friendly apartment that is perfectly situated to house cats overnight or for a day! Fit with water fountains, toys, automatic feeders, and extra space is a cat needs some alone time. I also have multiple double sized litter boxes or a mini litter box situated in the bathroom. Lastly, I have a camera system to monitor the cats fitted with iOS notifications for any emergencies or alarms in the home.
“Daniela was reliable and on time for all of our walks. Her communication was fantastic letting me know when she was on her way and sent pics of the walks. I would hire her again.”
“Cassidy is fantastic! She takes great care of our dog Aspen and is patient, kind, and gentle with him. She also comes to walk Aspen regardless of how cold or crummy the weather is! We highly recommend her!”
About: I work from home, so I’m often available throughout the day! I’ve grown up with dogs, including a black Lab who was part of my family for many years until we sadly had to say goodbye. I currently have a rescued black Lab, Toddy, from Kentucky, who I’ve had for four years now. He is my bestest friend and is pretty much attached to my hip! We also sent him to a training camp, so I have experience with e-collars if training needs to be reinforced on walks. I also foster puppies with Fetch Rescue, which has given me experience handling dogs with a variety of temperaments, personalities, and needs. Overall, I’m just a major dog lover and would love to help anyone in a pinch who needs a dog walker! I currently work from home so I often am available throughout the day! Mornings between 8:30-10am are fairly difficult but can sometimes make work as my meetings move around. I do not have a fence at my apartment but always make sure her dogs are a leashed before opening the door. Happy to take care of Dogs at someone else’s home In which I would respect like it is mine as I would want the same! I keep a camera in my house so totally respect if someone else would to the same!

“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.”

Victoria is absolutely AMAZING! I feel so lucky to have found her. Gus is an older guy and means the absolute world to me, so I’m incredibly particular about who I trust with him. Victoria is kind, reliable, communicative, and so genuinely caring with him. I have complete peace of mind knowing Gus is in such wonderful hands. He absolutely adores her — and so do I! Could not recommend Victoria more highly! ❤️🐾
I am so grateful to Stefanie for taking care of my 6-month old puppy. Between walks, cuddles, playing in the grass, he received the best care. She also went above and beyond to keep an eye on my cat and make fast friends with her. Beautiful messages and photos kept my mind at ease, while giving a glimpse into how happy and content my kiddos are with her. I can't say enough good things about Stefanie -- I recommend her highly and am so glad we found her!
Josh is everything you want in a dog walker. He is 100% reliable and he communicates often and promptly. And of course he loves pets and he will make sure that your pet is extremely well cared for.

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 Northfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
