About: Iâve 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 clientâs 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.

âI needed someone to walk my dog a few days while at work and Chase was great! Very dependable and gave me updates so I didn't have to worry about my pup. I'd definitely book him again!â


âJessica is awesome. Sheâs reliable, sends darling photos, promptly arrives and flexible for last minute changes. We appreciate the care she provides for our dog!â

âChris is the absolute best!! He has walked Baxter so many times and taken care of him overnight at our house. I always know Baxter is in great hands, in the photos he sends Baxter is literally being his happiest self! I would highly recommend Chris for both walks and overnight stays! đâ

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. I have done walks, drop-ins, overnights, and long term dog care for family, friends, and neighbors. I love all dogs, and have grown up around dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule. I have a lot of time for walks, playing, and spending time with your pets! I always keep dogs on their leash, or keep an eye on them when they are outside. I am comfortable walking any size dog, and always make sure gates are closed when dogs are in a fenced in area!

About: Iâve had dogs growing up. As an adult I have had cats and dogs, many of whom had special needs. I have had two blind cats and cats and dogs with various chronic medical conditions. I also have a veterinary assistant certificate from Norwalk Community College and I have worked as a vet assistant. I am retired for now. This leaves me time to focus on your animals. I can do sleepovers as well as daily walks and home visits for cats. I cannot take pets in my home but can do walks and sleepovers in a clients home. If an owner has a fenced in yard and the dog likes going out in the yard I would go with the dog and not leave the dog unattended. If the dog is used to walks we would walk.
About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
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 petâs 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.

About: Iâve taken care of all types of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Maltese and Shih Tzu, and now Iâm the proud mama to my big AmBully, Captain! That being said, I have experience with dogs of all sizes ranging from the tiny guys to the big dawgs and all age ranges. Additionally, Iâve worked with highly experienced trainers in the past with my pup Captain so Iâve gained knowledge that is transferable to all dogs. I love dogs more than most so I can assure you your pup will be in the best, most caring hands possible! Feline friends are always loved and welcomed as well. While Iâve never had any of my own, Iâve had many friends with cats and I love them just the same! My special interest is bully breeds (Iâm totally not biased at all!) and especially older pups and pitties. I am also able to lift over 80lbs, so if your furry friend needs a lift I can make it happen. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to care for your pets as needed and maintain as much of their regular routine as possible. I provide care based on the clients wishes! However you normally care for your pet I will continue that for you. If your pet needs crated, Iâm happy to do so. If there are specific areas they arenât allowed, Iâll make sure they stay out! If you have a specific place you like to walk, let me know and weâll go! You tell me and Iâm on it. Iâm huge on pet safety and respect, especially when it comes to being outside. When walking, Iâll always keep them away from the road and from other dogs and humans that pass by. If there are any other things to be aware of (i.e. scared of bikes, likes to chase squirrels, etc) please let me know so I can be extra alert!

About: I have several years of experience caring for both pets and children. While working as a nanny for multiple families, I was also responsible for their dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. This gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. At home, I am a proud cat owner, so I also understand the unique needs of cats and how to provide them with the right care and attention. I am patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether itâs walking a dog, keeping a pet company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. have a very flexible schedule. Sunday Mondays and Tuesdays I am super available. Most mornings before 10 am Iâm free and I sometimes work from home. My schedule is adjustable, I can often adapt to different needs during the week. The care I provide always depends on each pet parentâs instructions, since every animal has unique needs and routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them regular walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. Safety is always my first priority whether that means keeping doors secured, watching carefully on walks, or following special feeding instructions. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, so pet parents can feel fully at ease while they are away.

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and caring for animals has always been one of the biggest parts of my life. Iâve volunteered and worked in animal rescue for years and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Iâm especially experienced with senior pets, anxiety-prone animals, and special-needs dogs, including my own recently adopted blind senior pup. I share my home with three rescue pets (and my boyfriend): ⢠A 3-year-old hound mix ⢠A 5-year-old rescue cat ⢠A blind senior chihuahua mix I work a 9-5 in manhattan, but I have a hybrid work schedule and am available most weekends for pet sitting!

I follow your petâs routine exactly, respect any rules or preferences you have, and send plenty of photos and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.

I couldnât recommend Shayla enough! My elderly dog needed extra care and attention. Shayla was very understanding and had great knowledge for meeting Lucyâs needs. Lucy came back to me with her tail wagging and very happy. I will look forward to using Shayla again next time I need her!

Elizabeth has been absolutely wonderful walking Liquorice! She is extremely professional, punctual, and reliable, and took fantastic care of her every single day. Liquorice always looked forward to her visits, and having someone so trustworthy gave me complete peace of mind while away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!

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. Iâm definitely happy with the experience and would use her again!

Maria continues to be our go to sitter. She keeps us updated with plenty of pictures, and always communicates with us when she has questions. Whenever sheâs watching our dutch Shepherd Ekko, I hardly have to worry about him because I know heâs in good hands :)

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!

Ally is a natural with dogs. She came to the meet and greet my Ollie immediately came over and sat next to her. Heâs normally slower to greet people, but Iâm sure he could sense that Ally is a genuine âdog personâ. Weâll be seeing a lot more of eachother!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Riverside is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 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 petâs 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.

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 Riverside. 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 dogâs 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 Riverside 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 Riverside. On Rover:
- 84% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
