“Rachael did a great job with my dog Harry today! He came home happy & tired so that's a good thing. He ate his dinner quite heartily too, ha, ha! I'm looking forward to having her come back again hopefully on a regular basis for walks & see if we can get some weight off Harry as he is overweight for his size right at this stage in life. Thanks so much Rachael!”

“Theresa is truly AMAZING with animals. My dog Molly had love at first sight with Theresa immediately and I can see why. This is the fist time I've ever had a dog sitter/walker so I was a little nervous but as soon as I met Theresa all my fears went away. Theresa is very caring and so knowledgeable about animals and I will highly recommend her. I feel great knowing that my dog has someone I feel confident in and I was continue to always have Theresa come back week after week whenever she's available. Thank you for giving me peace of mind Theresa, making my life so much easier and also Molly a happier pup! ;)”
About: I have several years of paid and volunteer experience with all animals, including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, rabbits, horses, and goats. Growing up, I had two dogs, one small and one medium. I also used to volunteer at a therapeutic horse-riding center for people with disabilities, where I groomed horses and cleaned their barns. I currently have two guinea pigs who are contained in cages, but are very curious, playful, and friendly with other animals. I'm an incoming Master's student who is currently working part-time this summer. I have a highly flexible schedule and short commute times, which gives me more time to care for your pets! My pricing is extremely flexible and I am open to negotiating. I have spacious front and back yards where your pet can roam. I also have a doggy gate to block off the upstairs of my house if necessary, but our downstairs and upstairs are very dog-proof from years of caring for our previous pets. I live in a 3-bedroom home, providing ample room for your pet to explore and wander inside if they prefer the indoors. I also have dog bowls, leashes, toys, and food, ready for use.
“I can tell she truly loves animals. Xander usually barks at strangers but he was very calm with her. It was a very smooth experience with her and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much ❤️”
About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.
About: "I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets. Family and friends have always trusted me to watch, feed, walk, and love their dogs. I specialize in providing a calm, structured, and incredibly safe environment for small and medium adult dogs. Your pup will receive constant attention, plenty of playtime, and treated just like family while staying with me." "I currently work part-time, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of open flexibility to be home with your dog. I am always mindful of my time management to ensure your pet gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and lots of individual attention. I have plenty of dedicated time to play, go for walks, and make sure your pup feels completely safe, happy, and pampered while you are away." Safety is my highest priority when caring for your pet. My home is a clean, calm, and smoke-free environment with plenty of open space for small and medium dogs to feel entirely at ease. I maintain a secure setup to ensure no escapes, provide constant direct supervision, and strictly follow any specific care, feeding, or routine instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and safe."
About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life and I currently have three. My responsibility’s with my dogs are to take them out and on walks, feed them, give them water, play with them, and give them lots of love! I’m looking for a job opportunity to help me pay college expenses and to get work experience. I just graduated high school so I have a lot more free time. A few days during the week I go over to my dads to take the dogs out in the afternoons, to give them water, and to let them out and to play as well. I’m available for walks and for drop in visits starting in the late morning and also afternoons. I can stay for as long as you need me to stay so that your dog has enough time to play and be properly cared for. In my home, I provide and encourage dog safe toys and put away things that could cause harm or get damaged. I provide time for play and also rest. I also provide fresh water and to take them out when needed. If your dog goes in a crate then I am more than capable of handling that as I have done that with my dogs in the past and currently.
About: My friends, family, and many others have given me opportunities to care for their puppies and dogs! The owners and dogs are always left very happy! I’m currently on summer break from my teaching job. My schedule is very open and flexible to whatever you may need! I love going for walks and hikes and would love a buddy to come with me. I do not have any other pets or children living in my home. My complex is very safe to walk in and I have an awesome hiking trail right next to my place!
About: I have been doing drop in visits and dog walking for 10 years. My housekeeping clients have relied on me to walk their dog while cleaning their home. They have also used me to walk their dog and drop in to feed and potty while away or if work is running late. I am training to be a dog trainer and have skills in this department with basic manners. As of this moment I am looking to make dog walking and animal care my full time job. I am available Sunday, Monday - Friday from as early as 7am until as late as 7pm. Saturday early morning, 7am-9am & early evening 5pm-7pm As your dog walker & drop in visit go to, I will provide love and care for your baby while you are out of the home or super busy on work calls. I treat EVERY animal as if he/she were my own while in my care. Their safety and happiness is of the utmost importance to me.

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 Waterbury. 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 Waterbury.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waterbury. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
