“Thanks to Ashley and Mauricio's amazing dog walking services, Spence had a great July 4th weekend! We were a little worried about leaving Spence alone during the holiday chaos, but Ashley and Mauricio completely put our minds at ease. From the initial meet and greet, we realized that Spence was very comfortable with them, so we knew that we didn't have anything to worry about. Ashley and Mauricio are very reliable and trustworthy and great with communicating and keep us updated as to how things are progressing. We received adorable pictures and updates after every walk, letting us know how much fun Spence was having. It was such a relief to see Spence enjoying the holiday weekend just as much as we were. If you're looking for a dog walker who goes above and beyond, look no further than Ashley and Mauricio! We can't thank them enough for making sure Spence had a fantastic July 4th weekend. We highly recommend Ashley and Mauricio to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and fun dog walker!”
“Holly is fantastic! She is extremely reliable and communicative. She has been walking my dog for over a year and we appreciate her so much. Our dog loves her and always comes back very happy from their walks!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Stefanie! She has been a true life-saver, especially after we had our baby and needed extra help. Knowing we could count on her to take care of our dog, Astro, gave us such peace of mind during a busy and exhausting time. Astro absolutely loves his walks with her, and it’s clear Stefanie treats him like her own. She’s always on time, incredibly professional, and so caring. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Astro. Stefanie truly goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Nicole was amazing with my dog snowy. She always comes on time, communicates with me about snow’s walk and feeding and is super professional and helpful. She accepted a late notice booking which was a big help when I’m not home to walk my dog myself!”
About: I’ve 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 client’s 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.
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.
“Shawn did such a great job with our Bo and made the most out of the 30 minutes with him! He was an excellent communicator and left us a great recap of their time together. I really appreciated the detail and care!”

“Cami was wonderful with our little Rosie. She was always on time, went for long walks, took several photos and always made sure Rosie's water was full. We will absolutely use Cami in the future. Thank you, Cami!”

About: I have had a dog myself for 10 years now and he has been a blessing for me to really learn how dogs think. Being able to take of him for the last 10 years has given me the experience I need to be able to take care of your pet as well. I currently work full time but I do have the flexibility to go and check on your pet during the day if you are local to me or else I am free after 4pm during the week. I am also free on the weekends from 8am - 8pm. I would also be available for overnight boarding at your home. I always make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks and playtime and any specific care instructions you provide as I know that some dogs are very sensitive to any change. I can also provide daily photos or videos so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“I knew I found someone special when my shy, skittish 8 month old puppy warmed up to Alexandra immediately. I’m a nervous Mama when it comes to my dogs and my mind was put at ease after our meet and greet. My 13 year old can’t see out of one eye and Alexandra knew how to navigate that. She walked them three times in one day (once in the rain!) and I came home to two happy pups.”
“Nicole was fabulous I expect at a minimum that dog walkers would be good with dogs, but what really makes the difference is they’re able to navigate challenges and get the job done. It provides a lot of peace of mind. Not only did Nicole navigate my complicated building but she got what was once a very timid puppy to be less afraid. Nicole is a star.”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs—young, old, big, small, pullers, you name it. I will take care of your pets as I do my own. I work from home, so I’m available around the clock for taking care of your pets. I live in the Fairfield County area, so I’m available to help you out with your pets! I live in a house with roommates, but I have a floor to myself. I have a cat at home, so I can provide a feline companion during boardings.

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. I’m definitely happy with the experience and would use her again!
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!

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 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 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.

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.
