About: I am a young teen with a lot of time on her hands and I already work at doggy daycare, giving me experience with big dogs and small dogs especially dogs that can be reactive. Every animal should be loved and treated the same way! It actually helps to apply into my job already with more animal experience and my future career in the animal medical field I have two cats at home that I’ve raised basically since work and my love for animals requires me to be 100% about them and open for them all week In my own home I have my cats on a routine, it’s really hard to have animals without a routine especially kittens. I have a job that I work four days at and would love to be able to put forward what I already know in to taking care of your pets!
“Thank you so much! Appreciate you giving Didion his walk and medicine. He seemed like he did well especially given that he hadn’t met you prior to his walk. Thank you, Dani, for being reliable and trustworthy.”
About: I grew up around animals and have been trusted with caring for the pets of family and friends since I was a teenager. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds from big to small, energetic to couch potatoes. I also have a professional background in animal care and behavior in an aquarium setting. This means I not only have experience with domestic animals but also exotics! I have experience working with geriatric animals and animals with special medical needs too. I'm excited to get to know you and your pet! I currently work a full time job but am available for check ins and walks most days before work (6am - 7:30am), during my lunch break if you are in the Norwalk area (12pm -1pm), or after 4:30pm. I can make house sitting work any day of the week and am free any time of day for services on Fridays and Saturdays. I have a professional background in animal care and behavior in an aquarium setting which means I have many years of professional animal care experience. I have worked with a variety of pets and exotics and have experience pet sitting for animals in both categories. I have experience administering medications to animals (oral and injectable) as well. My job is to give the best care to all kinds of animals and enrich their lives. I believe I'll be able to do the same for yours.
“Our recent experience with Kris and Angelica, who cared for our dogs in our home for five days while we traveled, was excellent. They were responsible, punctual, thorough, caring, friendly, experienced, flexible, and attentive to our dogs’ individual needs. Before our trip, Kris and Angelica came by to meet us and our dogs, which made us feel much more comfortable. We have two large German Shepherds with very different personalities and needs—one is young, energetic, reactive, and challenging to walk, while the other is older, slower, very friendly, and easygoing. Kris and Angelica handled both dogs with care and confidence, and kept them happy and well cared for while we were away. I left detailed instructions for feeding, walking, and daily routines, and they followed everything carefully. Since we rarely travel without our dogs, we were naturally a bit nervous about leaving them. Kris and Angelica made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip. They sent frequent updates and photos each day, and whenever questions came up, communication was immediate and easy. I highly recommend Kris and Angelica, and they will absolutely be my first call for future trips when our pups can’t come with us.”
About: Responsible, caring, and dependable pet caregiver and proud dog mom with experience providing loving care, walks, feeding, and companionship. I am CPR certified and work as a medical assistant, so safety and attention to detail are very important to me. I treat every pet like family and always provide reliable communication and care. I currently work full time during the week, but I am available on weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I have flexible availability on Saturdays and Sundays and can accommodate different times as needed I treat all pets as if they were my own. I give them the care and attention they need. I am trustworthy, loving and caring.
“Tatiana took great care of my dog Tonka, who felt comfortable with her right away. Tatiana is excellent at communication, very responsive, and keeps you well-informed. She was incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs, and I highly recommend her!”
About: I began pet sitting for neighbors in Boston and continued building my network after moving back to Connecticut. I now care for dogs throughout the year for friends and their families, usually four to five weeks annually. I work fully remote, so pets get steady company and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around and treat them like part of the routine, not an interruption. I have an indoor cat who is fully vaccinated, so dogs are still welcome. If your pet needs a calm home, a reliable schedule, and someone who is present, I am a strong fit. I work fully remote, so pets are with me throughout the day. I start early, which leaves time for morning routines before work, and I take regular breaks for walks and check ins. Evenings are for longer walks, feeding, and downtime. If a pet has specific needs, I adjust my routine to match them. Pets stay in a calm, tidy home where I am present throughout the day. I work fully remote, so dogs get steady company, regular walk breaks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication needs, and any rules you share. My indoor cat is fully vaccinated and comfortable with visiting dogs. I introduce pets slowly and make sure everyone has their own space. If your dog has specific routines or preferences, I adjust to match them.
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a teenager, and over the years I've built up real hands-on experience through dog sitting and walking for my family, neighbors, and friends. That's ranged from quick drop-in visits and walks to week-long stays in their homes. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and take pride in keeping them comfortable, active, and cared for. I'm currently between jobs and actively job searching, which means my days are genuinely flexible. I can build my schedule around your dog's routine rather than the other way around, so feeding times, walks, and bedtime stay as close to normal as possible. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my top priority. I follow your routines and instructions closely to keep things consistent for your dog. I send regular photo and text updates so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands.
“Kristen was great with Levi. He really enjoyed his time with her and their walks. She took care of feeding and walking Levi while we were away. She was very responsible and took pictures for us. We look forward to using Kristen again for future trips we have.”
“Maly is amazing. She watched our two standard poodles for 10 days! That is a lot of dog for 10 days. She is kind, communicative, helpful…responsible - all of the things. You would be lucky to have her care for your pets. Our dogs love her - and aren’t they the best reviewers????”
About: I have grown up having pets, so I understand how they become part of the family and the importance of having someone trustworthy to take care of them. I have been pet sitting for families throughout Fairfield County and New Haven County over the last six years. Whether your dog is small or large, needs special food or medication, likes long walks or just playing in the backyard, I have experience with it all! During the summer, I will be available for all pet care needs! Let’s create a schedule that best aligns with my part time job and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet is cared for in the same way I would look after my cats and dog, with plenty of affection, exercise and treats! I do my best to follow their routine while you are away, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved.
About: I’ve had and watched lots of different pets. I own two large rescue dogs, and have watched many others. I’ve also cared for small dogs like Yorkers and bichons as well. I have owned 3 cats so I have experience with cats as well. I don’t know anything about caring for bunnies, rodents or reptiles. I work part time. My days off are Mondays, Wednesdays and every other Sunday. I am happy to do overnights within a 30min drive from Trumbull, CT. Tues 2-8pm Thurs 10-4 Friday 10-4 Saturday 10-3 Every other Sunday 10-2 I offer in-home care, walks around the park or local neighborhood, hikes, and/or play time in the yard. I prefer not to bring your pets into my own home as my dogs don’t always like having other animals visiting.
About: Hello, I’ve always been an animal lover but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Big or small, young or old. They make me happy. They make me smile. Their unconditional love and loyalty is a priceless gift. I will treat your dog with care and affection they deserve. You can count on me to be there for them when you can’t. Thank you I am currently working part time which will give me plenty of time to spend with your pets. I will make sure that they are taken care of and happy. I will treat your pets with love and care. I will pay attention to their needs and wants, and make sure that they are safe and happy.
“We booked Julie and then woke up to a lot of snow on the morning of the first walk. Despite the deep snow Julie turned up on time and was amazing with our young pup. Who she had walking beautifully in minutes. Raven loves you Julie !”

I cannot recommend Nic enough! I’ve had many dog walkers over the years, and he is by far the best I’ve ever worked with. From day one, he’s been incredibly professional, communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring with my dog. He always gives detailed updates after every walk, communicates anything important, and truly goes above and beyond. I asked for at least a one-mile walk, and he consistently does close to two miles while still making sure my dog is happy, safe, and comfortable. My dog absolutely adores him and gets so excited knowing he’s coming, which says everything. Nic has such a calm, trustworthy energy about him, and it’s very clear he genuinely loves what he does. As a dog owner, there’s nothing better than knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands. I trust him completely, and anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and amazing dog walker should absolutely hire him.
We can’t say enough good things about Destiny. She has been incredibly helpful during a very difficult time for our family, and her flexibility and kindness have meant the world to us. She took amazing care of our dog, who absolutely loves company, and it was clear from the updates and photos that she felt happy, comfortable, and loved while with her. She goes above and beyond, is extremely dependable, and truly treats your pet like her own. We are so grateful for everything she’s done for us, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful sitter. Thank you so much, Destiny!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Southport on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,620 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southport. 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 Southport. 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 Southport.

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 Southport. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
