About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for free for years, everything from small cats to large pit bulls. I’m a genuine pet lover but due to travel have been unable to have my own so I love the opportunity to help others with their furry companions. I currently work part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets. I work mostly in the mornings 3-4 days a week. I will not be boarding pets, however in my home we have a fenced in yard that we allow our dogs to play around in under supervision a few times a day and then he is taken on leashed walks at least twice a day.

About: Hi my name is Sofia! 😁🐾 Growing up I’ve had a range of pets, from hamsters to iguanas. Dogs have always been in my life! I’ve owned two Rat Terriers and currently go on frequent walks with my partners yorkie poo. I take pride in my care for animals, as well as people. I was my own grandmas care provider, as well as a Diet Aid Server for the senior living, so I understand the necessity for patience, routine, and consistency. Your pet will be in great hands while we await your return! I’m looking to board on the weekdays (Mon-Thurs) at any time, and I am available on the weekends (Fri-Sun) in the early morning to early afternoon. When I dog walk, I don’t wear headphones or earbuds for my own as well as my dog’s safety. I also always put protective weather gear on the dogs I walk when it’s chilly, snowy, or rainy! I prioritize early morning or late evening walking when it’s hot.

About: I have immense experience working with animals. I had a pet dog in my youth named Ollie, a little bulldog. Whom I loved very much and took very good care of. I walked him, fed him, played with him. He and I were the best of friends. I also had a pet cat named Dana and four parakeets named Speedy, Flighty, Frisky, and Sheila. I loved all of those animals very much, but by the time I went to college I had to give them all up because I wouldn't have anytime for them. Which wouldn't have been fair to them because animals need a lot of loving attention and when you know in your heart that you can't provide that any longer then the only reasonable thing to do is put them up for adoption into another family's home. So I understand animals and know that they are sentient, feeling, and living beings who need loving care from people. I also worked in several pet shops and cared for the animals there and I was a Wag Walker who walked dogs. So to sum up I am an animal person my heart goes out to all animals in need and who are suffering from neglect. I always make the effort to make their lives better than when I found them. My schedule is wide open because I am not working right now and I would really like to take in dog boarders because it will be nice to have friendly dogs to get to know. My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate any dog owner's boarding scheduling needs. The home environment is very pleasant. I have a big backyard with a huge oak tree for your dog to play under. I have fencing all over with the exception to the area next to the marsh. That part of the fence blew down in a hurricane storm. The remaining pieces of the fence are still up on the sides of the property and a section of the fence next to the driveway is gone as well. Blew down in the same hurricane storm. But I got a completely fenced in picket fence area in the front yard complete with a gate that closes. This area also allows access to the front door of my house. The marsh in the backyard has a lot of over growth reeds and marsh grass that acts as a natural barrier to keep the dog out of the marsh. I will make sure that the dog is on the leash when in the backyard just to be safe. I am located near the beach area and can take the dog on walks near there. There are many friendly dogs in my neighborhood for your dog to get to know. I have a brother that lives with me and he loves dogs too and rest assured that your dog will receive lots of love and attention from my brother and myself. I am starting work soon as a school van driver with Dattco. My schedule is a split shift schedule with a few hours in the morning and again in the afternoon. I can board your pet and take care of your pet when I'm home and for a few hours while I'm at work I will keep your pet in my apartment in a kennel cage that you will provide for me. I will leave your pet in the house with plenty of food and water and when I get home I will make sure that your pet is walked right away. And my job site is the vehicle the company provides me. I can probably take the dogs with me to work by sitting them in the front passenger seat. Provided that they behave themselves. If not then I will most likely leave them caged in a kennel cage at my apartment. I live in an area where there's the boardwalk nearby to walk the dog on and take them to the beach as well. There are a lot of dogs in that part of the neighborhood to interact with and a lot of places to go for walks on. Now that the weather is getting warmer you can expect the dogs going out with me as often as possible.

About: To me, your pets are never “just pets” they’re family. ❤️ As a pet parent to 5 fur babies of my own, plus my bunny, I understand how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your babies with the same love, patience, attention, and protection I’d want someone to give mine. I love and care for all cats, dogs puppies, young, adult , and seniors even (seniors have a special place in my heart ) ❤️ As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility and free time throughout the week to care for your fur babies! 🐾 I love spending my free time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve! I know our fur babies are family, so I’ll always treat yours like my own! 🐾 I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their home. Safety is very important to me, so I always double-check that fences and gates are secure, and if there’s no fence, they’ll always be safely on a leash outside. Lots of love, attention, and playtime included! ❤️

About: I have experience caring for dogs through boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’ve looked after multiple dogs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make every dog feel happy and cared for like they’re part of the family. I am currently a full-time online college student so I am mostly always home and can guarantee exercise, playtime, and safety for your four-legged friend. I provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for every dog in my care. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play freely. The yard is equipped with puppy sun chairs, a puppy pool, and a variety of outdoor toys to keep them active, relaxed, and entertained. I also have a friendly puppy who enjoys playing and socializing, giving your dog the opportunity for companionship during their stay. My goal is to create a welcoming, home-like setting where every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Gianna and I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a family that always had two or three dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Schipperkes, and Chihuahuas, and I’ve also looked after Shepherds, Pit Bull mixes, Labrador Retrievers, and many other breeds. Whether your dog is large or small, energetic or laid-back, I’m committed to providing them with the attention, love, and care they deserve. In addition to dogs, I grew up horseback riding and spending countless hours on farms surrounded by horses, goats, chickens, barn cats, and farm dogs. Being around animals has always been one of my greatest passions. I treat every pet as if they were my own family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I am currently a teacher on summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. When the school year begins, I am still available before school, during lunch breaks (if your home is close enough), as well as after school and in the evenings. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means cuddling on the couch, relaxing together, going on long walks, or visiting dog parks, I always tailor my care to meet each dog’s individual needs and personality. If your pet stays with me, they will have free access to my apartment and are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home during their stay. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean and just as you left it. I aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—including dogs, cats, and reptiles. Growing up in a home full of pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a curious gecko, I truly love all animals and take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, and their safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m available full-time for pet care, with a flexible schedule that allows me to be there when you and your pets need me most—whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. As a current dog owner and an active individual, I naturally incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures into my daily routine. I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, and staying on the move, which means your pup will get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Alongside my love for animals, I work as a artist, which gives me the flexibility to manage my time well and be fully present for the pets in my care. I understand the value of trust and reliability—both in real estate and in pet care—and I bring that same level of professionalism and dedication to every pet I look after. Your furry friend will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and activity tailored to their needs. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I live in a very dog-friendly area with several parks nearby that I regularly visit with my own dog. I love being outdoors and make it a priority to give dogs plenty of time outside for exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. I also have a spacious SUV that’s perfect for safely transporting dogs to local hiking trails and nature spots throughout Fairfield and neighboring towns.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Stratford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Stratford is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,629 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Stratford. 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 Stratford. 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 Stratford after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Stratford. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 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.
