“John (Cotter) was very communicative and wonderful with our dogs! Our pups are a very energetic (crazy) pair - they loved Cotter. Thank you for taking great care of them!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old taking care of the animals in each house on the street! I’ve taken care of all different breeds of dogs so I am open to taking care of whichever furry friend you have! I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to give love to your dogs and cats! I love spending time outside and would love to take your pup for walks! I know every owner has their own rules when it comes to their pets! I love to hear from each family when it comes to their pet’s specific needs and what they prefer!
“Today was Lanie’s first time walking our pups. After our initial meet and greet yesterday, I felt very comfortable and confident that she provides thoughtful care of the pets she cares for. She accommodated a 30 minute shift in plans, and spent a good amount of time with the boys. They were both very calm and content when I got home. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends! I grew up with two small Yorkshire Terriers, and for the past 7 years, my family has had a sweet terrier mix who I absolutely adore. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ pets and loved every minute of it. Now that I work remotely and spend most of my day at home, I’d love the chance to take a walking break with your dog or stop by to check on your cat. If needed, I’m happy to bring my laptop and work from your place for a while to keep your pet company while still getting things done. I’d love to help make your pet feel loved and cared for! Since starting a remote job, I'm able to leave my desk at home for a bit and drive to wherever I need to go to care for your pet. I'm available M-F during the day to check in, and I'm pretty flexible with time as I have minimal meetings throughout the day. I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I want everything to stay exactly the same as how you left it that morning. I realize it's a big ask to let a stranger in your home while you are not there, but you can have your trust in me that I will put all of my focus on your pet, and make my way back home as soon as my job is done.
About: Having grown up with dogs my entire life and currently caring for 10 rescues of my own, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve cared for large, active breeds such as German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers, as well as Bluetick Coonhounds and mixed breeds. I’m familiar with the different needs of energetic working breeds, playful retrievers, and scent-driven hounds that love to explore on walks. I’ve also gained valuable experience caring for rescue dogs, including those who may be nervous, shy, or still adjusting to new environments. I understand that some dogs need extra patience and reassurance, while others require plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies, maintaining consistent feeding and walking schedules, reinforcing basic routines, and providing extra attention to older dogs who may need a slower pace. What sets me apart is that caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs is already part of my daily life. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they receive individualized care, attention, and affection! Caring for dogs and cats is already a big part of my everyday routine! With 10 rescue dogs of my own, I’m very familiar with balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure every dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits throughout Fairfield County and am happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, an energetic walk, some playtime, or extra companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help! I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to keep their routines as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Having experience with multiple rescue dogs has taught me the importance of understanding different personalities, recognizing body language, and respecting each dog’s individual boundaries. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routines, including feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any specific care needs. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may be nervous around new people, reactive to other dogs, or easily overstimulated in unfamiliar situations. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes and harnesses fit properly, and walks are appropriate for your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away!
About: I have met and cared for many dogs of different breeds and personalities. My own dog is very leash reactive, and has required a large amount of patience and training. I am used to administering daily medications to dogs, as my own takes medication in both the mornings and evenings. We hike our own dog for two miles in the mornings as I understand the value of walks and activities for a pups enrichment. I am currently available most days as I am home from university for the summer. Prior to the recent passing of my two senior cats, I fed, scooped their litter-boxes, and administered medication daily. My family and I take turns walking my dog and ensuring he has received his medications, so I am well-versed in both aspects of dog care. In my clients home I aim to be respectful of private and personal space while ensuring the pets are receiving the best care possible. I make sure to follow any guidelines set by the owners, to ensure the pets routines are kept.
About: I have had dogs and cats of my own and I have also worked in an animal hospital and done some wildlife rescue and of course pet carei I am looking to assist with your pets to make it easier for you and your schedule and vacations or weekend trips or check ins. I currently have a job that I work remotely also. My complex does not allow dogs and that's unfortunate so I was hoping I can assist at your home with whatever details you provide me with.
“Stuart had an issue getting my dog to go back in my home after her walk was over. Christmas Eve wanted to stay laying on the grass outside. Stuart immediately contacted me for assistance in getting Chrissy back in the home. She finally was coaxed to oblige with her favorite dog treat. Thank you again Stuart”
“Regi is friendly, reliable, and great with our 5 month old puppy. She is teaching him how to walk and she is so patient and loving with him. We are so grateful to have found her. We can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Having grown up in a household bustling with three dogs and three cats, I've been immersed in pet care from a very young age! My hands on experience ranges from raising a German Shepherd to managing the boundless energy of a Husky and the loyal companionship of a Lab—each breed presenting its unique challenges. As a college student, I continue this passion with my beloved dog, Dewey, who is a constant companion. My specialties include embracing long walks (hiking is a favorite), potty training, and dedicating quality time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. As a recent college student with a vast amount of flexibility, I find more time to dedicate to my passion for pet care. Though I work part-time nannying , my free moments are often spent on long walks with my dog, Dewey, or those of my friends. These outings range from early morning walks to peaceful nighttime walks, seamlessly integrating into my daily routine. In my home, I create a welcoming environment for pets by ensuring they have a safe, comfortable space for their little vacation! I prioritize routine, from feeding and exercise to play and rest in my acred fenced backyard, adapting to the individual needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their familiar routines to minimize stress. Since each pet is different, I have to adapt to what they are used to at home to make them comfortable. I also keep thorough communication with owners, providing updates and seeking guidance to tailor my approach according to the pet’s habits and preferences. Whether in my home or theirs, I am committed to providing a nurturing and attentive care environment that meets each pets unique personality!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently volunteer with the SPCA and with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I help care for and socialize dogs, including future service dogs. I’ve also worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter through WAG while living in NYC, which gave me experience handling many different breeds, temperaments, and routines. I was a dog owner myself and cared for my own dog until he passed, which deepened my understanding of how important patience, consistency, and genuine care are when it comes to pets. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, medication schedules, or calm companionship. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to be very flexible and available for pet care throughout the day. I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as longer stays when needed. Because I’m home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I closely follow instructions, routines, and any special care needs, including feeding schedules and medications. I’m attentive to behavior and environment, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and safe at all times. I treat every home and pet with respect, care, and responsibility.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. I am a former Princeton grad moved to nyc 5+ years ago. I’m in between jobs in the financial services sector where I have worked over that time and am now based in NYC/CT. I love animals of all sizes and have had the pleasure of being a dog/cat sitter since 8 :) I have a very flexible schedule these days, and can pretty much make anytime work. Currently I’m based in Fairfield county in CT, but open to overnight stays in NYC where I was a resident for 5+ years! Would prefer to be in the clients home because I am currently staying in CT with folks who already have a dog & cat of their own!
About: I treat all animals as my own. How I’d want my pet treated is how I operate. My pet is treated with respect, integrity, love, and care. I currently work full-time but I am available for an early morning 4am-6am and after work 5pm-11pm. I am available every Saturday and Sunday as well. Any time frame. In my clients home, I respect their house and their rules. I ensure food is prepared to the owners expectations. In my home I keep things very organized and objects out of reach.

We are so grateful to have John as Miles’ dog walker! He is absolutely wonderful with Miles, and it means so much to us knowing that our furry family member is in such caring hands. John is always thoughtful, dependable, and great at keeping us informed whenever there are changes to the scheduled walks. His kindness, communication, and genuine care for Miles give us such peace of mind. We truly appreciate everything he does and feel so lucky to have found someone we can trust with our beloved Miles. Thank you, John, for taking such great care of him!
Anna has given care to our beloved dog on 2 occasions with 5 walks. She has provided him with exceptional attention and love. Our dog is 13+ years old and we are always sensitive about his health- we don't have to worry about that with Anna at his side. Is there any greater piece of mind than that?
Lanie is amazing and really cares. It’s so comfortable knowing I can count on her to take care of my lil girl who’s my world and when in a pinch she is right there . She communicates and keeps you posted the whole time . I trust her with my fur baby and highly recommend . Thank you so much Lanie !

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ridgefield is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $56 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.

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 Ridgefield. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Ridgefield 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 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 Ridgefield. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
