“Chase is great. He always sends a report card after each walk and several pictures of our dogs on their walk. The dogs always seem happy after their walks with him. One weekend we had an issue with the boarder we had planned to have our dogs stay with. Chase was able to help out on short notice. It was such a relief to know he was taking care of our dogs. We would definitely recommend Chase.”


About: As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. I’m patient with puppies, respectful of older dogs’ needs, and always happy to follow your instructions. I also love sharing photo and video updates, so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I can plan my day around visits, walks, and quality time with your pet. I believe pets deserve attention, consistency, and not just a quick check-in. I always make sure to give them the time and care they need. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I provide a clean, welcoming, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention and supervision. Since I have a dog of my own, I’m mindful of introducing pets carefully and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, and routines. I’ll also share regular photos and updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while your pet is with me.
“Stefanie was great with our little pup! He absolutely adored his walks and is looking forward to his next time with Stefanie! She was always prompt and sent us updates that we always laughed at!”

“Chris 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! 💕”


“Ally is a natural with dogs. She came to the meet and greet my Ollie immediately came over and sat next to her. He’s normally slower to greet people, but I’m sure he could sense that Ally is a genuine “dog person”. We’ll be seeing a lot more of eachother!”


About: I love and care for animals! Its always been something I can look forward to. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I may not have much experience pet sitting or walking other than with family and friends of family but I hope I can gain more experience. I will try my best to follow a manageable and safe routine at all tiem. I can definitely say that I notice and enjoy different quirks/personality animals, especially dogs. I hope that through my services I can offer you a good peace of mind when looking over your pets! look forward to meeting your amazing animals and giving them lots of love and care! Right now I’m available all week to take care of animals. I just can’t really do anything past a certain mile due to distance. I will make sure that they’re well adjusted and have a safe environment as well as having a fun time, whether it’s by playing or chilling or going for a 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.
“Cassidy is fantastic! She takes great care of our dog Aspen and is patient, kind, and gentle with him. She also comes to walk Aspen regardless of how cold or crummy the weather is! We highly recommend her!”

About: I understand the unique needs of dogs at every life stage, from teaching essential commands and proper behavior to puppies, to providing gentle, patient care for older dogs with mobility or health challenges. I am free almost every day and would love to walk more everyday by helping walk pets as much as I can. I al able to walk pets for as long as it’s needed. I ensure they follow their routine, including feeding, walks, and any medications, while providing plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to provide stress-free, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for just about every kind of pet you can imagine- from puppies and cats to reptiles and horses! I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I have experience with obedience and potty training for puppies (lots of patience, consistency, and praise are key!), and I’ve also worked with senior and special needs dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s sticking to medication schedules or adjusting to their pace, I make sure they always feel comfortable and supported. From playtime and walks to cuddles and clean-up, I bring plenty of energy, compassion, and attention to detail. No matter the species, I have love to go around! I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fully integrate pet care into my daily and weekly schedule. This means I can adjust my routine to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, or any special needs a pet may have. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it’s short check-ins, extended play sessions, or administering medications on a strict schedule. Being home allows me to be present and attentive, creating a stable and reassuring environment for pets, and ensuring that their needs are always met without feeling rushed or overlooked. My goal is always to keep pets as comfortable and secure as possible while their owners are away. I do my best to maintain their normal routines—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime—so they feel consistency and familiarity even in their owner’s absence. I understand that being cared for by someone new can sometimes bring on a bit of anxiety, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and giving them plenty of love and attention. This helps make the transition smooth, and ensures each pet feels safe, cared for, and right at home.

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.
“Leenez was amazing with the pups. She took extra care to follow directions and go above and beyond. I am so happy we found her!! Now, I can look forward to plans knowing they are in loving hands.”

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 it’s 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 I’m 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 parent’s 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: Growing up with a dog taught me how to care for them naturally, and now my fiancé and I are putting our love for dogs into raising our own puppy, a 7-month-old Cockapoo named Kenai! What sets me apart is that I provide the same meticulous, loving routine at home that I would bring to your pet. From daily care to managing his vaccines and vet visits, I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy, safe, and happy. Your pup will get my undivided attention, supervision, and plenty of love! Best Regards, Daniel Pet care is seamlessly woven into my everyday life. As a business owner, I have wonderfully flexible availability throughout the week and also weekends to ensure your dog receives constant attention. I maintain a safe, secure environment by actively supervising pets at all times, keeping hazards away, and following your exact routine. When I am watching your pet, I am as concerned for their safety as I would be for my own dog.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, especially senior pups who need a little extra love and support. I cared for my mini dachshund from childhood through her older years and have looked after many pets with medical conditions, so I’m confident giving medication, staying on top of routines, and tuning into what each pet needs. As a therapist, I bring a calm, loving, and attuned presence to every visit. I treat every pet with reliability, warmth, and lots of snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, a slow walk, or just company while you’re away, I’m here to care for your pet with heart. I work remotely and make my own schedule as a therapist, so I’m able to easily build pet care into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I’m used to structuring my schedule around care and consistency, so your pet would get reliable attention, supervision, and lots of affection throughout the week. I’m especially experienced with small dogs who are curious, clever, and love to squeeze into tight spaces, so I know firsthand how important it is to stay attentive. I make sure pets are always in my line of sight or that I know exactly where they are at all times. I also check in with clients about house rules, including which areas are pet-friendly or off-limits, and I work with them to create a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s keeping doors closed, watching for sneaky hiding spots, or just being extra mindful, I prioritize your pet’s safety and wellbeing like they’re my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stamford
I couldn’t recommend Shayla enough! My elderly dog needed extra care and attention. Shayla was very understanding and had great knowledge for meeting Lucy’s 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. I’m definitely happy with the experience and would use her again!

Victoria is absolutely AMAZING! I feel so lucky to have found her. Gus is an older guy and means the absolute world to me, so I’m incredibly particular about who I trust with him. Victoria is kind, reliable, communicative, and so genuinely caring with him. I have complete peace of mind knowing Gus is in such wonderful hands. He absolutely adores her — and so do I! Could not recommend Victoria more highly! ❤️🐾

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!

Josh is everything you want in a dog walker. He is 100% reliable and he communicates often and promptly. And of course he loves pets and he will make sure that your pet is extremely well cared for. If you have any special instructions Josh will adhere to them perfectly. So if you hire Josh you will know that your pet is in excellent hands and you can have total peace of mind.

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 Stamford. 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 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 Stamford after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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 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.
