“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Stefanie was amazing! I needed some last minute help and she was super responsive and wonderful. My boy was safe in her hands and I really look forward to working with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have more than five years of hands-on experience caring for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, active, and comfortable handling everything from walks and playtime to feeding, medications, basic grooming, and keeping established routines. I’m also very detail-oriented and communicative, so you can expect updates and photos while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet and home with the same level of care and respect I’d want someone to show my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, daytime care, overnights, and last-minute requests. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I take safety and trust seriously, both with your pet and in your home. I follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide closely, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and household preferences. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and will always communicate if something seems unusual. I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, not just your pet, and I’ll treat both with care, cleanliness, and respect.
“Maria was great! She met with me and Ekko before walking him, listened to all my care instructions, and asked questions about his boundaries. She kept us updated after each walk, and Ekko seems to really like her!”
“Ashley and Mauricio were wonderful with Emerson. They treated him like he was their own and made sure he had a fun, safe outing. He came back happy and tired in the best way. I really appreciated how kind and communicative they were throughout. I’d gladly have them take Emerson out again, highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with Liquorice! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Liquorice came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the extra attention and care she provided. I would definitely book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Aaron is great! He is a great communicator, always on time and understands the needs of my dog. Mia received the care and attention she needed while Aaron was with her!”
About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
“Ryan is awesome! Always sends me a cute picture of my dog and gives her a great walk while I’m at work. He’s reliable and I always come home to a happy and well exercised dog. Thanks!”
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 his 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.
“Nicole is amazing! She sends consistent and frequent communication during walks - and tons of pictures! I will definitely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
About: I’m a caring, reliable dog lover with hands on experience raising my own Maltese and Yorkie. I understand the attention, patience, and consistency dogs need, especially smaller breeds. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. It’s helped me build trust and confidence in caring for dogs in others’ homes. I enjoy long walks around Harbor Point and always prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m available on weekdays after 3:30 PM due to a school schedule, with increased flexibility during school breaks and throughout the summer. Occasional weekend availability. I always prioritize safety, trust, and your dog’s routine when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions closely, make sure your dog is safely leashed before walks, and stay attentive to our surroundings at all times. I also take care when entering and leaving your home by checking doors and gates, and I always treat your space with respect. Every dog is cared for with the same compassion and reliability I give my own.
About: I have reliably taken care of family, friend, and neighbors’ pets for years. I love spending my time with four-legged friends and being able to provide loving and personalized care that’s catered to specific routines and personalities. Whether it’s on a walk or a drop-in visit, my priorities are safety and loving care. I make sure to communicate with photos and updates so you can be confident your pet is in great hands. With a flexible schedule, I am available every day of the week to structure my time around the pets I’m caring for. Whether that’s a long walk or play time in your backyard, I will make sure your pet is properly cared for. I will give your dog the attention they deserve on walks and home visits. They will be well loved and exercised and I will follow any specific routines or training you may be working on.
About: I’ve worked for shelters throughout college and fostered multiple cats, my longest foster was a year! I currently have three cats of my own, adopted from various shelters in NYC and all are super friendly! I’m very good at socializing cats for children friendly homes as well! I’m currently working full time, but I live across the street from my office. So I constantly have easy access to my cats or any fur baby in my home! My schedule is flexible during the week and I am also able to do overnight stays in areas around Stamford! I have a pet friendly apartment that is perfectly situated to house cats overnight or for a day! Fit with water fountains, toys, automatic feeders, and extra space is a cat needs some alone time. I also have multiple double sized litter boxes or a mini litter box situated in the bathroom. Lastly, I have a camera system to monitor the cats fitted with iOS notifications for any emergencies or alarms in the home.
“Lexi is so awesome! She is professional, on time, very communicative, and flexible. I had some issues with apartment access and she has been patient through it all. I trust her with my dog Shadow!”

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!
Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with Liquorice! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Liquorice came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the extra attention and care she provided. I would definitely book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Aaron was great with my pitbull! After 5 years of weekly walks with my dog, I never had one problem with him and he always took great care of my dog on the walks. He’s very reliable, and very caring. Always would go above and beyond. Highly recommend!! Thank you Aaron!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Stamford on Rover is $22.2 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 .

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 Stamford. 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 Stamford.

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 Stamford. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
