Our dog gets very nervous being with new people, but he took to Maeve right away! She spent lots of snuggle time with him and we really appreciated her attentiveness and reliability. And he’s happy to have a new friend!

About: Experience with all dog types and ages. Also experience sitting cats for a month at a time. Excellent litter box cleaner and all around lover of animals. I have fostered several cats in addition to having my own. I have not personally had a dog, but walked a yellow lab puppy while in graduate school and have the energy and patience to care for animals of all personalities. Dependability is a quality I pride myself on and I will respect your home and pet as if he or she is my own. I have flexibility in my schedule and am at home during the work week. I also have flexibility most evenings and weekends. I have reliable transportation (personal vehicle). I respect a pet's safe space and routine. I believe that the pet owner knows his/her pet child best and will follow those instructions carefully.

About: l've always loved animals and have several years of experience caring for dogs, including my own French Bulldog. I've cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a little extra patience, l'Il make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Friends, family, and people I know trust me with their dogs because I care for every pet the same way I'd want someone to care for my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I'Il always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away ❤️ I’m a full-time college student, and most of my classes are online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas. Dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and for the last 6.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising my own fur child, Melli Rose. She’s a black lab (my favorite breed) and is the chillest girl to ever exist. She’s great with other animals. I recently got engaged and am looking to make a bit of money on the side to help pay for the wedding along with getting to meet new pets! I work on a hybrid schedule—3 days remote, 2 days in the office. When I’m remote, I take my dog on multiple walks a day and would love to have yours join! I firmly believe pets are royalty and deserve to be treated as such. Nothing I do could ever repay them for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love, but I’ll spend the rest of my repaying them with my love and affection.

Tara is wonderful. I recently needed someone to help walk my anxious and excitable rescue dog ( a 6-year-old Labrador-Golden Retriever mix). She bonded with my pet right away and was masterful and patient in keeping her calm and controlled. It was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my dog with a stranger. Tara made me feel comfortable leaving my dog and she sent me multiple photos and updates of her visit. I look forward to working with her in the future.

About: I’ve had my own dog, Lily, for 12 years—she’s been with me since she was just 2 months old. Caring for her throughout every stage of life has given me hands on experience with everything from puppy training to adult dog care. I genuinely love dogs and feel comfortable with their different needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also dog sat for several families in my neighborhood. I’m now looking to continue dog sitting over the summer before starting my career as a Physician Assistant in the fall. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for every dog I look after. This summer I am only working in the morning on Saturdays and afternoon on Sundays, making my schedule free and flexible for your pet’s needs! I am expected to start my full time job in September, but I am happy to continue dog sitting for you when time allows : ) I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate use, and any special needs or medications. I understand that every dog is different and has individualized needs, and I am happy to help them in whatever way I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.

I am available to watch your animals on a flexible schedule. I live on a walking trail, close to a couple of dog parks and McLeans. A big backyard set back from the road. We enjoy being outdoors.

About: I've been a forever dog and cat lover and have jumped at the chance to care for pets at every point in my life. I'm now lucky to have the availability and flexibility to care for them all week long. I am pursuing my own business development on the side and am therefore flexible to care for animals for the majority of the week, other than at times when I happen to need to travel myself. As I am not working any sort of ordinary job or 9-5, I have a great amount of availability and flexibility in hours. I take care of pets in their own homes (at the client's home), and my services range from staying overnight to walking/checking in/providing breaks throughout the day, either on a sporadic or more consistent basis, depending on the client's need.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for pets has always felt second nature to me. I also worked for a trusted dog-sitting business in my hometown, where I learned the importance of reliable care, clear communication, and treating every pet as an individual. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or calm companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs most. Your pet will be cared for like family, and you’ll always have peace of mind knowing they’re in attentive, experienced hands.

At a client’s home, I make sure their routine is maintained exactly as they like—meals on time, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. In both settings, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience, giving pets attention, companionship, and consistency so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I campaigned to my parents to get our dog for years and paid for his adoption fee. I have watched several dogs while babysitting children as well, and used to watch my neighbors and friends cats and dogs often when I was younger. I have also recently looked after a few gerbils and used to own 4 guinea pigs! I would love to watch or walk anybody’s cats or dogs because I really just enjoy the experience of being around animals so much, they bring everyone around them so much peace and joy and are the purest creatures! I’m currently a sophomore in college, so I’m looking to fill up my breaks by spending time with animals! I am available from now December 27th through January 20th as well as most weekends because I come home from school. My semester ends in early May so by around May 10th I should be free until the end of August! I will walk and play with dogs, give dogs and cats food and water, pet and show love to dogs and cats I’m watching and anything else requested you usually do with your pet at home so long as it’s reasonable!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Simsbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Simsbury on Rover is $33.3 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,224 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Simsbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Simsbury. 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 Simsbury.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Simsbury. On Rover:

  • 94% 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.
