Liz is very responsive and has been a lifesaver for some unexpected next day bookings. We're immensely grateful for her willingness to work with us to figure out a time slot that worked for everyone! She's thoughtful of our dogs' needs, asking insightful questions about feeding times. And most importantly, the dogs seemed very content in the photos she sent of the visit and when we returned home!

About: Lifelong animal lover with 7+ years caring for my own 2 dogs, along trusted experience with friends and family’s pets. I make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of availability throughout the week. I love morning walks because they get me up to start my day while also being active. As well as mid-day and evening walks allow me to take a break from any tasks and get outside in the sun while having some fun! Whether I’m visiting your home or walking your pup, my goal is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. For walks, I make they get plenty of fresh air, exercise, a potty break, and time to sniff and explore while keeping a close eye. During home visits, I’ll refresh their water, feed them, give potty breaks and spend quality time. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me and always treat your home with respect.

Could Paula get any better? It’s impossible. In two visits she has our crazy puppy minding on leash and exhausted for the remainder of the day. Paula even helped source some strategic training in our immediate area. We are feeling blessed to know Paula and appreciate her patience and loving persistence with sweet, crazy Sophie!

Sophie has been lovely to work with and has been super sweet with Boomer. He is a larger and sometimes nervous pup but she seemed to have easily won him over! She sent detailed notes and pictures which helped me feel more comfortable with the time I spent away with him. We will be using Sophie regularly many times in the future and I am sure Boomer already looks forward to her visits!

About: I have 10 years of experience working with pets in a variety of settings including animal shelters, veterinary offices, pet daycares, and as a pet sitter! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and can provide specialty care such as medications. I currently do not have a 9-5 so have a flexible M-F schedule! I usually do not have weekends available, but feel free to message and ask if it is a longer stay that would go over the weekend. I ensure to respect your pet and your home. I know it is difficult to trust people with your pets, and I promise to take the utmost care. I have a senior dog myself, and understand every pet is different and has their own needs.

About: Hi I’m Hailey! Growing up my family always had both cats and dogs so I’m very comfortable taking care of pets. I have years of experience with both dog and cat sitting for both short and long term stays. I love to be active and take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and can customize my schedule to fit their needs. I work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can work based around you and your pet’s needs! Available weekdays as well as weekends. I have dog sat for both large and small dogs before and have no issue with tailoring to their needs. I have years of experience pet sitting for long term stays up to a month for dogs, cats, and chickens alike!

About: I have owned 5 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 40 years and provide service in Naples, FL, Marco Island and Bonita Springs. I am available most days in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside

About: I've had a passion for caring for animals ever since I can remember. I would often pet sit for friends and family and I quickly learned I wanted to spend my life working with animals. Fast forward to the present, I am a full-time pet sitter that keeps a special place in my heart for each and every four-legged friend I've been able to care for! Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet is my top priority! I am available every weekday, weekends, and most holidays. I am available for overnight stays and drop-in visits. Overnight stays allow your pet to have someone there all day and all night to get the love they need while you can't be there; and drop-in visits allow your pet to get the care they need at the times they are used to at a frequency you pick. Feel at ease knowing your pet is in the comfort of their own home able to carry out their normal routine- whatever feeding, potty, and walk times your furry friend is used to.

About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs of all sizes. I have owned 3 pitbulls so I for sure know how to handle dogs that size. I also have a park near my house that is very discrete where the dogs can come roam around. It is fenced and barely anyone ever goes to. I used to bring my dogs over there when I had them. I am available full time if needed. I work from home. I can do pick up & drop as well. Please let me know, it would be my pleasure! I care for the dog as if they are my own. I know animals can become family, just as mine have became family. I will go accordingly to your dogs schedules and make sure they have the best care.

About: Hi there! 👋 I’m an animal lover through and through! I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for them. Now, I have a pup of my own for my kids to grow up with — and we couldn’t imagine life without furry friends! 🐾 I’d love to help care for your pets as if they were my own — whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family member! ❤️ Pet care is my full-time focus at the moment, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and give both your pets and my children the attention they deserve. When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your routine as closely as possible — from walks and feeding times to play and cuddles — so your pet feels right at home even when you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always keep you updated with pictures and messages for peace of mind.

About: I’ve had a pup (a Pitbull mix!) for about 7 years now which has been the best. I’ve gone through crate and potty training with him as a pup and later behavior training to curb some challenging behaviors. This makes me super flexible with providing commands of all levels and maintaining training progress. Friends and family have asked me to look after their pets, of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I’ve comfortable with giving medications, feeding, bathing, walking, and maintains training skills as needed. I try to be as flexible as I can to the dog’s needs and preferences (as well as the owners!). I’m currently a full-time graduate student, working part time, and other responsibilities but I'm home for summer break! Due to that, my schedule is pretty open right now with some limitations during the later afternoon and early evenings. I can try to make whatever times work, just message me! :) I definitely let the pet warm up to me, just to establish that comfort and safety within the pet. I can crate the pet if needed, either for sleep or for feeding. I definitely want them to be comfortable in their own spaces so I’m pretty open to doing what I can to make that happen!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Poquonock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Poquonock on Rover is $26.75 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,125 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Poquonock. 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 Poquonock. 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 Poquonock.

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 Poquonock. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
