“Nicole is amazing with Cooper! She is very patient, sweet, and understanding of Cooper’s quirks. I can tell Cooper already loves her. Not only is she great with Cooper, but she is fantastic with communicating with me via texts and providing many photos and videos of Cooper during their walks. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone!”
About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the past I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved. When you trust me to care for your dog, I show up with love, respect, and attention to detail — all in the comfort of your dog’s familiar surroundings. 🐶 In-Home Peace of Mind: I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit, taking your pup for a walk, or staying overnight, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress and keep your dog calm and happy. 🦴 Personalized, Gentle Care: I specialize in small breeds and have over 10 years of experience. From meal schedules and potty routines to medication or calming techniques, I provide care tailored to your dog’s specific needs. 🚶🏽♀️ Safe & Engaging Walks: Walks are done one-on-one in familiar areas, with close attention to your pet’s energy level, leash behavior, and comfort. I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.
About: I grew up with a black Lab and now have a cat, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both animals! I truly love both animals. I work in office three days a week from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM and have availability both before and after work for pet care. On my two remote workdays, I have even greater flexibility to provide care, and I’m especially flexible on weekends. Dogs will always be kept on a leash unless there is a securely fenced backyard. I closely follow all owner instructions and prioritize each pet’s specific needs. I ensure indoor cats are never let outside, and I maintain their overall care and hygiene by providing fresh food and water, cleaning up as needed, and making sure they are able to go to the bathroom whenever necessary.
“Elysse was excellent with our dog, Maple and she took really good care of her on a really hot day. Many thanks to her! And if you are looking for someone who is both knowledgeable and caring look no further!”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who loves long walks and playtime or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and a little extra care, I’m comfortable adapting to what they need most. I especially love working with energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise, structure, and attention they thrive on. At the same time, I have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are in helping them feel safe and supported. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands. As an elementary school teacher, my days are usually built around structure, consistency, and showing up reliably—and I bring that same mindset to pet care. During the summer, my schedule opens up significantly, which allows me to dedicate more time and flexibility to caring for pets in my community. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine right now. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care throughout the week, and I enjoy building my day around making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and consistency they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy doing during my time off, and it’s been a great way to stay active and connected while doing work I care about. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. I know every pet has their own routine, preferences, and personality, so I make it a priority to follow directions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or specific behaviors to watch for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and familiar as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm, safe space and adjust based on the pet’s energy level and needs—whether that means lots of playtime or a quieter, more relaxed setting. Communication is really important to me, so I make sure to keep owners updated and reach out if anything seems off. My goal is always to provide care that feels seamless and gives both pets and owners peace of mind.
About: I have had a love for animals since I was a kid and in turn my teens share the same affection for dogs. We have raised our cockapoo as a pup who is now 8 years old. He has been crate trained and uses bells to signal when he needs to use the bathroom. We have a lot of energy and love to give and would like the opportunity to care for your pet! I currently have the summer off and I am available all day for your pets needs. The only time I may be out would be to go grocery shopping or drop off and pick up my tweens for sports. I have a fenced in back yard and a 4 year old friendly cockapoo who loves to play with other dogs. I am also willing to crate your dog if needed or let them roam my home freely.
“Karlena is great, I can tell because the dogs went crazy when they saw her. Karlena is prompt and communicates well. I just moved here, and she is making the dogs feel super comfortable during the day when I'm at work and that is a huge weight off of my shoulder. She is a sweet young lady and I'm glad she wanted to walk Hanry & Jazzy. Thank you Karlena. :)”
About: Hi! My name is Douglas, Doug for short. Currently a proud papa to a golden lab named Sunny, and a grey longhair cat named Remy. My best friend is a pug/chihuahua mix named Taz. I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog. Cliche to say but I am better with animals than with people. I am responsible, gentle, caring, and a big rule follower. I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! I have experience with crate training my dog so I am comfortable playing with your dog in the house or yard, and switching them to their crate if needed.
“Jill is great! She showed our pup so much love and care. On our second booking with her she was able to help us in a pinch and took our dog for a walk with little notice on our end. Will definitely be repeat customers of Jill’s! She’s very trustworthy and dependable!”
“I found Michelle at the last minute and she responded within 10 minutes. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet and 2 dog walks for my little guys all in 3 days. She did great walking them and paying them lots of attention. Thanks Michelle!!!!!”
“We are so happy to have found Lindsay! She is super responsive and fantastic with our super energetic Lab. Our dog has a new BFF in Lindsay and we are so grateful for her walks!”
About: With 18 years of experience caring for dogs and other beloved pets, plus hands-on volunteer work at an animal shelter, I’m passionate about providing exceptional care. Your fur babies will be treated like cherished family members!” Working from home gives me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your pet, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve. I reside in a spacious three-story townhouse overlooking a beautiful golf course, offering plenty of scenic walks for your pet. Your furry friend will be safe and secure with me at all times, enjoying the freedom to explore my home with an abundance of toys to keep them entertained.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky Hill
Kim is wonderful! I feel totally comfortable having her in my home when I’m not there. She always shows up when scheduled. On the off chance she’s been unable to come, she gives me ample notice to make other dog walking arrangements. But most importantly to me, Chunk loves her! I can always tell he’s had a great day by the number of toys he’s got out when I get home. I would recommend Kim to anyone seeking a regular dog walker or just a drop-in for their fur baby.
This was a last minute request. I had to go away for a full day. Taliah was great, she was able to fit me in, she spent more than the minimum I needed with the dogs and they were happy and well cared for when I got home very late in the evening. I got pictures seeing Wrigley and Dolly out and about.
Nicole is amazing with Cooper! She is very patient, sweet, and understanding of Cooper’s quirks. I can tell Cooper already loves her. Not only is she great with Cooper, but she is fantastic with communicating with me via texts and providing many photos and videos of Cooper during their walks. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone!
We had such a wonderful experience with Adrianna! She was super friendly, kind, and absolutely amazing with our dog. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how much she loves and understands animals. Our pup was in the best hands and came back from the walk happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was getting top-notch care. We couldn’t recommend Adrianna more highly—truly outstanding! She is a truly lovely person!

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 Rocky Hill. 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 Rocky Hill.

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 Rocky Hill. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
