About: I've always had dogs in my life, primarily large breeds, and currently own three dogs and three cats. I helped raise a litter of seven puppies from birth to 12 weeks, giving me extensive experience with puppy care and development. I've also dog-sat for family friends many times and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet can feel at ease. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work freelance for a marketing agency from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I also stream online and bartend one evening per week, but my schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and accommodate most pet care needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Since I only offer care in clients' homes, my goal is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration (if needed), playtime, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you're away. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.

Sabrina was so helpful! Had a family emergency and needed someone to walk my dog tank as he would have been home for 12 hours by himself. She immediately responded and was able to walk him twice today! She sent pictures both times and gave feedback on how he was on the walks. Thank you so much Sabrina, will absolutely be reaching out again when I need some help!

Hailey is a great find! She walked my puppy, Andy at 6:30 in the mornings. I needed to make scheduling changes a few times and she got back to me quickly and was very flexible. My puppy is in training and Hailey followed through on all of his training skills for me. Thank you!

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: 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: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.

I can also work with younger dogs on basic tricks and training, including sit, paw, lay down, and leash training to help teach them not to pull. I’m very flexible with my availability and can accommodate your schedule, including late-night care when needed. Whether your dog needs someone to stay with them, go on walks, play, or simply keep them company, I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also offer drop-in visits for feeding, bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. And if you have other animals in your home, I’m happy to care for them too! I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals, and I truly believe animals love me as much as I love them. ❤️🐾 Your pets will be in good hands with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

Bri helped me out tremendously during recovery from surgery. She is a good communicator and kept me informed about any schedule changes. She was gentle and patient with my almost blind, almost deaf senior dog. And Bri is flexible, allowing me to add additional services at the last minute when I realized I had been overly optimistic about my recovery.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Stratford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Stratford on Rover is $20.33 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,655 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 your Stratford. 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 Stratford.

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 Stratford. On Rover:

  • 89% 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.
