“Roderick walked my three dogs and handled them with remarkable calm; that’s no small feat when two of them pull. He took every photo and logged every entry in the app, which is genuinely hard to do with three dogs on leash. We’d absolutely use him again and recommend him without hesitation.”

About: I've been taking care of my own pets for 6+ years. I make sure pets feel loved and well-cared for, whether it's playtime, feeding, or just giving them some extra snuggles. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, so I adapt my approach to suit their individual personalities. Devoted and loving pet caretaker available around the clock. With a very flexible schedule, I can provide frequent walks, playtime, and feeding to keep your pets happy and healthy. I have a yard for your pet to play in with supervision. I have a small dog and cat that are friendly, But they can be moved to another part of the house if you prefer.

About: I have a life long passion for animals and have had animals my entire life! Right now I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I've had cats and dogs, and although I haven't had a reptile, bird or small animal, I attended an agricultural high school at which I helped care for these animals. At the school, I volunteered at an animal daycare for teachers and was in charge of our "woof wash" where be bathed and clipped animals nails. I am always happy to walk and play or just sit on the couch and hang out. I worked in an animal shelter caring for both dogs and cats for 4 years in high school. I don't currently volunteer at a shelter but in the past I have volunteered at Little Guild of St Francis, and Home at Last in Philadelphia. Even in my spare time I love to learn more about dogs and spend time with pups that need it the most!

About: My name is Kristina Leigh. I recently turned 42 years old ( in human years) I have spent the majority of these years sharing my life with dogs. I have experience working as a groomer, working at a pet store, and I also have Emergency 24hr Veterinary Hospital Clinic experience. I took classes at Northwestern CT Community College in the Vet Tech program. I have loved 3 amazing senior sweet rescue pitbulls throughout my adult life, and countless four-pawed friends in between. I am not a stranger to exotic reptiles, amphibians, and small rodents of all varieties. This includes my lifetime passion for fresh and salt water fish care. I am very calm, gentle, and patient when it comes to caring for senior dogs and nervous pups. I have basic first aid pet knowledge, but most importantly I have common sense. The most important thing to me personally, is to completely put your mind at ease. Your pets are in great hands. I know and understand as a pet parent the worry that often comes with being away from your pet. That being said, I can guarentee that proper care, respect, and instructions will be shown and followed with your animal and within your home. But I am certain that you will feel at ease by how your pet behaves in my presence. I love animals, and they know it. Trust and respect are incredibly important for me when I am choosing who cares for my pet, my dog is my little chubby dumpling princess. The absolute best is what I ask and expect, and that is what I give to your own little buddies. I have my own transportation, and can accommodate new changes in schedule in a reasonable amount of time. My schedule is flexible, and so is my character. I am more than willing to help create a solution when one feels impossible. All you need do is ask. Things happen; life happens, and hopefully you will feel that choosing me as your pet's Auntie makes things much easier for you. I take the safety of your furry family member very seriously I have training experience walking bouncy puppies, "pully" pooches, and slow older doggos. I am patient, calm, and know my surroundings at all times during the walks. I can help teach your dog proper leash etiquette if it is wanted I absolutely love spending time around dogs and animals. This is my passion, and if I could do this for free everyday, I would. I have plenty of time to put towards the care of animals. I have a detailed schedule that I follow, and everything is organized and on track. I understand that while caring for animals, extreme care must be taken. I have been called over-protective when it comes to my own pets. But it is for their own protection. Unfortunately, they lack the legal rights that humans have. I am very careful when other animals are around (especially leash-less wildcards coming in hot towards myself and the dog I'm walking ) therefore, it is my choice to not allow strangers to pet any animal I am caring for. Similar to working dogs. There are too many negative examples of pets becoming unfairly removed from their homes because of some untrue accusation. An example is this: You've definitely seen dogs " smiling" to their owners. Some dogs just learn that behavior, and it is far from aggressive behaviour in their minds. Now say someone asks to pet your dog on a walk. The dog smiles, and it is misinterpreted as aggression, person is scared, maybe they act in a way that is embarrassing once they realize they aren't in danger. Maybe they create a scenario in their minds where they were bitten and then they want the " violent" dog put down. and then that is where the mess begins. Safety first!

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with caring for family dogs and continuing professionally at a doggy daycare. I work with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, ensuring safe play, proper routines, and individualized attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in pet sitting and treat every dog with patience, consistency, and care. I can do Mornings from 5:30 or 6am to 11am, I work from 12-6 pm so after work I can do 6:30pm-whenever is needed. from Monday-Friday. Weekends I can do anytime. I always make sure that the pets are safe, are always feed, always have water, and I take them out on walks very frequently. If the parents are ok with it I also like to take them to dog parks to learn socialization and to be able to run around and have fun without possibly breaking anything in the house.

About: I have owned and cared for pots of all types and kinds since I was a child, particularly cats and dogs. As an adult, I have owned three dogs and four cats and deeply enjoy the experience of being a pet parent myself. I have cared for, walked, fed, and watched overnight for many length of days many cats and dogs for my friends, family and professionally. I understand the nuances of what is required for individual pet care and how to follow directions carefully. I'm in excellent communicator and want to ensure that my pet parents that I work for are kept in the loop and feel comfortable with my service! I take special care to ensure that each individual pet is cared for in the way that they need and particularly to ensure that no animal is ever let out without being on the leash or let out at all if they are a cat. I genuinely enjoy playing with cats and dogs and making sure that they get the adequate exercise and stimulation that they need. I look forward to caring for your pet soon! Ps, I am very strong and have experience with walking large dogs, as powerlifting is a hobby of mine in my spare time! Since I work from home part-time, I have lots of flexibility and fluidity to care for someone's pet or meet a need at the last minute. I live in Central Connecticut which is very close to every County and I'm comfortable taking a drive if needed. I have an extremely flexible schedule between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. I would only be providing services in other people's homes to let them out or feed them daily or any kind of walking or playing services. In my own home, I currently have two cats who enjoy free reign of the home. We do also have a fenced in yard fully, but at this time I would not be offering that service in my own home.

Weekends, I am available to stay over all day.

Thank you Robin for helping with Pacho today. Yes treats are the way to his heart. He really does not like to be on the leash on the property, so makes sense that he doesn’t want to walk very far. You could try to let him off and stay close to him if you feel comfortable, or alternatively take him to topsmead as we discussed when you have more time. Glad he was happy to see you and we’ll be in touch soon. Have a great weekend.

Madeline was an absolute gift to our family over the holidays. Leaving my elderly dogs is never easy, especially with their medications and special routines, but she handled everything with such care, attention, and professionalism that I was able to relax and truly enjoy time away. She was incredibly thorough with their medications, made sure their meals were prepared exactly as needed, and took such thoughtful care with their walks and daily needs. It was clear she treated them like her own, checking in consistently and keeping me reassured every step of the way. I would recommend Madeline without hesitation to anyone especially those with senior pets or animals who need extra love and attention. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Thomaston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Thomaston is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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 2,618 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Thomaston. 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 Thomaston. 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 Thomaston 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 Thomaston. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
