About: I have been taking care of animals for about 14 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and so much more. I have experience with elderly dogs. I’ve had to give oral medication to my senior dog on a daily basis and I have knowledge of giving cats oral medication as well. I know how to potty train puppies if needed as well. I am very reliable, as well as very caring. I try to make your animal feel comfortable in a situation they might not understand. If needed I can bathe your animal. I currently work from home so if I’m boarding an animal I am available to walk them ever 1-2 hours for a small period of time before I have to go to get back to work. I would be home all day so I can give them so much affection and ensure they are feeling comfortable during their entire stay. I’m usually off at around 7 pm so after that I am available to go on long walks, play much more, take them to the park if it’s allowed and much much more! If I’m not boarding and it’s just a walk or a drop in or whichever service you need I am more than happy to put all my energy into this puppy!! I have too much energy from staying at home all day and plus, what better way to be more active than with animals!! When I’m caring for any pets I am very vigilant. Whether that be at my place or yours. I like to keep things clean so my house will be very organized and anything that they shouldn’t get into will be put away in a safe place. If your baby is staying with me I do have a cat. But she has grown up with dogs and I swear is more of a dog herself than she is a cat. If I’m at your home I am very respectful towards your home and your items. If anything comes up I will alert you immediately. You will find that I communicate very well and will send you tons of cute pictures of your baby when she is under my care
“Sunny took good care of my older dog-- giving her long walks around the neighborhood early in the morning and after the sun had set, following feeding instructions, and documenting details in the Rover report. She was also very flexible and understanding about needing to change booking times and did so quickly on her end.”
“I had Maliyah and Gabriel take care of my dog for four days (three walks a day), and honestly, they were just really solid people. They were always on time, kept everything consistent, and you could tell they weren’t just rushing through it. My dog can be a little particular with new people, but she clicked with them right away, which says a lot. Every time they came by, she seemed genuinely excited to see them. They made sure she was fed on time, took her on actual walks (not just quick bathroom breaks), and even stuck around a little longer to spend time with her. That part meant a lot to me, it didn’t feel like they were just checking a box. Overall, it just felt easy and stress-free knowing she was in good hands. I’d 100% reach out to Maliyah and Gabriel again.”
About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.
About: I had dogs of my own for a few years and loved them whole heartedly. I also watched dogs daily in one of my home health cases. I am capable of feeding, playing, walking and taking them outside regularly. If you have pets with special or silly needs, I can absolutely meet those as well! I am a college student. I will have plenty of time to play with and walk your animals in between classes and studying. Some fresh air and animal time will be a nice break for me. In my client's home, I respect any rules that they have with their pet (ie. If they are not allowed on the couch or in certain areas, food restrictions, etc.). I will make sure to be outside with them watching them, just in case. I will follow feeding schedules and make sure they always have water. I will play with them and brush them if needed.
About: Im a nursing student who would love to meet and care for your furry best friend! I am in the area and i don’t have class everyday so im pretty available! I have always had a dog in our house for about 7 years. I have babysat neighbors dogs and cats. I have had 4 dogs at a time before and we have adopted rescues. I have had young pups to senior animals. Since school hasn't started yet, I have plenty of time on my hands to hang out and care for your animals. I am very flexible and will let you know my schedule ahead of time. Always making sure they have water and feeding is on time/ the right amount. Checking the temperature for the animals' safety and their comfort. Gentle with senior animals so they have a sense of security while I am there. If not too hot, we would take walks, but also being cautious of their paws on hot pavement and overheating!
About: Hey everyone! My name is Jess! I am a grad student and looking for some work. I have been around dogs my whole life and I'm quick to befriend them. One of my first memories is actually getting my childhood dog. I've been taking care of my current dog for the last 3 years and I love her tremendously. I trained her completely and she is well behaved and friendly which I contribute to my background in applied behavioral analysis (ABA). I have experience caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets when they've been away. I ensure that they said and get the attention they deserve via walks, playtime, and some quality time with pets based on what they like. Animals have boundaries too and I like to ensure I respect them. Please reach out if you have any questions at all and I would love to care for your fur babies! I'm a graduate student work part-time so I have a good deal of flexibility. I am unavailable MWF 9am-1pm and T/TH 2pm-5pm. Beyond that, I am happy to work within our schedules to take care of your furry friends! Ultimately, I want to uphold what you would normally do to care for your pet. I know from my own experience my dog is very set in her routines and I wouldn't want to disturb that for your pets. If we have any outside time I am very attentive of surrounding and ensuring safety. I also make sure the pets don't get into trouble in the side by getting into anything laying around. I'm very used to taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and just chilling with pets and giving them some attention and some good head scratches!
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’m always grateful when family and friends rely on me to watch their pets. It’s wonderful to be able to be there for them. My day tends to rely on what my two dogs need at home. Pet care tends to plan my day for me. I’m home from college and am not working so I am almost always available for anything your pets may need! The pets I watch always have my full attention and are given anything they may need. I make an effort to prioritize their needs and wants.

“We’ve always relied on friends and family to care for our dog, so trusting someone new was a big step for us. Bonnie exceeded every expectation. I left her a detailed list of instructions, and she followed every one with great care and attention to detail. She was punctual, kind, responsive, and it was obvious from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. Throughout the entire experience, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and will treat your pet like one of their own, I can’t recommend Bonnie highly enough. She was absolutely wonderful, and we will definitely be using her again.”

I truly can’t recommend her enough! Skye is my whole world, so trusting someone else to care for her is never easy, but she exceeded every expectation. She was so kind, attentive, and treated Skye like she was one of her own. Her communication was amazing from start to finish. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was happy, safe, and loved. It was obvious how much she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I’m so grateful we found her, and I’m honestly so sad we’re moving because I know Skye is going to miss her just as much as I will. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet like family and make you feel completely at ease while you’re away, she’s the one. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my girl—we’ll always be grateful! ❤️
Sunny took good care of my older dog and endured that she took her pills with treats, even when it took several tries. I had a specific concern involving my dog and she kept me updated with detailed Rover cards. I was able to relax on my vacation without any worries.
Maddie was great in being responsive on short-notice and taking my dog for walks in hours when it was still dark outside. She followed the feeding directions and medicine administration that I had set out. Reasonably flexible and made changes due to weather without a problem.
Caitlin did an amazing job with our golden retriever. She was prompt, communicated in a timely manner, and our dog had a great time. It definitely gave us peace of mind, knowing someone who actually cared for animals was caring for hours. We highly recommend her to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Stratford on Rover is $18.87 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 285 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.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
