About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
About: Your dog will be loved like family! ❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home all day to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, and potty breaks. After 15 wonderful years with our dog, Max, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. As a stay at home mom, I’m home all day, everyday. I adjust to your dog’s needs, whether it be regular walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of downtime together at home. Your dog will get consistent love, attention, and companionship. My home has plenty of space for a dog to feel comfortable, whether they want to stretch out, relax at home, or have room to move around and play. I also have plenty of green area in a quiet safe neighborhood to enjoy playtime and walks outside. I keep a close eye on any dog in my care, watching their body language, and making sure they always feel safe and settled, and LOVED!
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I've learned that great pet care goes beyond feeding and walking. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand that they sometimes need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on their mobility, following medication schedules, or simply providing a comfortable place to rest, I make sure their individual needs are never overlooked. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being cared for like family. You can expect plenty of affection, companionship, playtime, and attention to their usual routines. I also love keeping pet parents involved, so expect regular photos, updates, and little glimpses of your pet's day. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving them with me as they do staying with me! I do my best to keep my schedule flexible around the pets in my care. I believe pets feel most comfortable when they can maintain their familiar routines, so I prioritize their regular feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and rest. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay, while also respecting their need for quiet time and space. My goal is to make their time away from home feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, even when their family is away. Before each stay, I take the time to learn about your pet's personality, daily routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, especially when caring for senior pets who may need additional supervision or a gentler approach. I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or simply enjoys lounging around, I'll respect their individual needs and let them settle in at their own pace. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet's comfort. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“Chris is kind and gentle with my anxious nearly 2 year old dog. My dog is now warming up to him and enjoys his long walk with Chris in the morning. Chris is always on time and can be relied upon to give your pet a calm and pleasant experience.”
“Mariah has been so great to my baby, Enzo! She handles his goofy, energetic personality great and always makes sure his walks are enough to get some energy out and make his day at home better.”
“Mari is so sweet! Our puppy loved her and was tired and happy when we got home from being out for the night. She took a lot of care to make Benny feel comfortable with her before she took him out and it really put my mind at ease.”
“Charlie my little guy is always taken care of and happy when Alex and Fernando visit. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family, as well as continue to use them for future dog walks.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years and understand how important routine, patience, and trust are for every pet. As a dog owner myself, I know each dog has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, enrichment, medication, or simply calm companionship, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to your dog. My goal is to create a safe, consistent environment where your pet feels comfortable and secure. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and consistent weekly care. I’m also happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works best for their pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know they’re in good hands.
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.

About: Started caring for cats at 15 then would board friends dogs while they travel and have even fostered dogs at risk of euthanasia and/or stray dogs traveling from Texas. I work full time m-f however am able to wfh as needed and always have enough time to cuddle and play with furry friends. Weekends are always free for outdoor play time or indoor snuggle sessions. I am in a spacious apartment with a 3 year old cat and 9 year old dog. Both are friendly and love to nap all day. More than enough space to be separated if needed.
About: I learned my love of Dog's in my adult life. We got out first family dog and I instantly felt that connection. Through my first dog I learned not alone the love they provide but also the love they are given by a family. They truly are a part of the family. I think my biggest skill is being a father, husband and a dog owner and these traits have given me a big heart for caring for a precious family member for others. I work from home and can provide care weekday, daytime and early evenings. I love to be active and also would take my dog along with us if agreed upon with the owners first. I love to get fresh air and let dogs enjoy it as well. I take into full consideration any walking tips as well, I prefer no other dog interactions along our walks and truly would care for yours as I do my own. I have a fenced backyard, and can care as well in my home on the first floor only with gates to prevent going up any stairs.

We needed a sitter at the last minute and couldn't have been luckier to find Phil! Every visit came with a thoughtful update, so we always knew Parker was happy, well fed, and getting plenty of exercise and attention. Parker also needed medication, and Phil gave it reliably every time, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear Parker was in caring, dependable hands. We'll definitely be booking Phil again and highly recommend him!
Nicole is an absolute angel. I could not have met a kinder person. Benji took to her immediately and did wonderfully on his first walk. She made sure to even refill his water while I was out and played with him for a little. As a new dog mom, she really eased my anxiety with my new pup and I will absolutely be booking her again!

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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
