“Iyanna and Tatiana were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They had to deal with a couple of obstacles and came through like champs. They are not only polite to us humans, they were great with our almost 15 year old Morkie. Their communication was second to none. We cannot thank them enough. Thank you both for making our lyric so much easier. We hope to see you again soon. ❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re cherished family members who deserve love, patience, and dependable care. After a successful career building businesses in the financial industry, I now have the flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets—something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. The same qualities that made me successful professionally—trust, reliability, attention to detail, and excellent communication—are the qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visits, companionship while you’re away, or overnight care, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior companion who enjoys a slower pace. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during every visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I take great pride in being punctual, trustworthy, and dependable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and earning your trust. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, evening check-ins, or overnight stays. I’m passionate about fitness and maintain an active lifestyle, so I have plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and keeping active dogs happy and engaged. At the same time, I understand that some dogs prefer a slower pace, and I’m equally comfortable providing calm, patient companionship for senior pets. I carefully schedule my commitments so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care while making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Because I live in a townhouse, I focus on providing care in your home, where your dog is already comfortable and surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and routines. I believe this creates a less stressful experience and helps your pet feel safe and secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will care for it with the same attention and integrity that I bring to caring for your pet. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, maintain your dog’s routine, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

About: I have two years of experience caring for a senior dog and a young cat, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and needs! I love making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also a full-time grad student with a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love staying on the move, and I’m always looking for a furry walking buddy to help me hit my daily step goal! Who says we can’t both get our steps in? As a full-time grad student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available seven days a week, with early mornings and mid-afternoons being especially convenient for me. That said, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and accommodate other times whenever possible. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or weekend visit, I’d love to help! I’ve cared for pets in different home environments, from houses with backyards to apartment buildings. I always make it a priority to respect your home, follow your pet’s usual routine, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away!

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, starting at an age 12, I looked after small, medium, and large dogs, as well as parrots and fish. Family and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets because of my dedication and patience. Also, I provide a calm, one-on-one environment. My building has green areas downstairs for frequent potty breaks, ensuring your pet gets plenty of fresh air and personalized attention. As a student, I have a very organized routine. On Tuesdays and weekends, I am available all day for daycare. I’m Fridays, my pet care schedule starts at 3:00 PM, which is perfect for evening daycare or overnight stays. During these times, I am mostly at home studying, so your pet will have my full attention and frequent potty breaks in my building’s green areas! Safety is my top priority. In my apartment, I ensure all areas are dog-proofed and free of small objects. Since I live in a building, I always use a leash when taking pets downstairs to our private green areas to ensure they are safe and secure. I never leave pets unattended and I follow any feeding or medical instructions provided by the owners. I also love sending frequent photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe with me!

About: Hello! My name is Skyler and I am currently a mammal trainer at an AZA accredited aquarium with a background in veterinary care. I would love to help walk your dog, whether you have certain training goals or just needing extra help while you are at work! I started my career by walking my friend’s crazy, (but adorable) puppy in high school. I was able to help train the puppy during every walk, and left her tired out when her owner got home. I am off two of the busiest days of the week- Monday and Tuesday. I have full availability to do drop ins, daycare, or dog walks! I have an unfenced yard and plenty of grass out front. I take frequent trips to my local park that has tons of room to play.

About: Growing up with a dog taught me how to care for them naturally, and now my fiancé and I are putting our love for dogs into raising our own puppy, a 7-month-old Cockapoo named Kenai! What sets me apart is that I provide the same meticulous, loving routine at home that I would bring to your pet. From daily care to managing his vaccines and vet visits, I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy, safe, and happy. Your pup will get my undivided attention, supervision, and plenty of love! Best Regards, Daniel Pet care is seamlessly woven into my everyday life. As a business owner, I have wonderfully flexible availability throughout the week and also weekends to ensure your dog receives constant attention. I maintain a safe, secure environment by actively supervising pets at all times, keeping hazards away, and following your exact routine. When I am watching your pet, I am as concerned for their safety as I would be for my own dog.

About: Between 10 years of fostering dogs and assisting with Rover boarding, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. This background taught me how to read body language, introduce pets safely, and help new or nervous dogs settle comfortably into a routine. My hands-on experience covers everything from puppyhood to the golden years. Having raised and trained my own dog from a puppy, I am very comfortable with early training foundations, structure, and positive reinforcement. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications, and managing attentive post-surgery recovery care with a gentle, patient approach. I treat every dog with the same dedication, comfort, and safety-first mindset I give my own. You can always count on prompt communication alongside frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Because I work part-time at Fairfield University, I have a ton of flexibility throughout the week. My Fridays through Mondays are completely open for house sitting and extended visits, while my mid-week schedule is easily adaptable for walks and drop-in check-ins. Pet care is a genuine priority in my day rather than something squeezed in. When I am caring for your dog, their daily rhythm for walks, meal times, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle breaks comes first. Your pup will get consistent company, regular potty breaks, and lots of dedicated attention. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their normal routine as seamless and stress-free as possible. Staying in their familiar environment keeps anxiety low, so I strictly follow your specific feeding times, walking routes, and house rules. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings. In your home, I make sure doors and gates are properly secured, keep anything dangerous out of reach, and treat your living space with complete respect. You can always count on regular photo and video updates so you know both your pets and your home are in dependable hands.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, with experience caring for breeds of all sizes. I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs and have been comfortable handling and caring for them from a young age. Additionally, I have experience house-sitting and providing care for dogs belonging to coworkers, friends, and family members. My lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs allow me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every dog I look after. I am currently playing junior hockey, with practices scheduled Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I am fully available to provide attentive and reliable care for your dogs. My availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays varies depending on my hockey schedule, but I am happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while giving each dog plenty of attention, affection, and exercise suited to their needs. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated on how their pets are doing for added peace of mind.

These 2 ladies are excellent with their care and walks for my dog Frankie. They take the time to get to know her and what she likes. They communicate before they come and when they are walking her. They are timely and caring. They let me know when they are back from the walk. I will definitely use them again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Norwalk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Norwalk is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 October 2026, there are 5,367 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Norwalk. 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 Norwalk. 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 , 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 Norwalk 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwalk. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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 .

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.
