About: I have always been passionate about animals which led me to work in veterinary medicine. My job is incredibly rewarding, getting to take care of cats and dogs and learn about the intricacies of maintaining their health. I am now working with aquatic animals as well! I am hard working, considerate and always up for a challenge! I have over 2 years of veterinary experience and a year of dog/ cat sitting experience. Hello! I am a former veterinary technician who is now working full time at the mystic aquarium. I would absolutely love to care for your pets in my free time. I am available on my lunch breaks (1 hour), before and after work and on weekends. I am available for dog walking, house calls and house sitting! I am very organized and maintain a schedule within my work and everyday life. I will tailor my time according to your pets needs, making sure they get their walks, meals and enrichment properly in a way that suits them best!
“Iyanna and Tatiana were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They had to deal with a couple of obstacles and came through like champs. They are not only polite to us humans, they were great with our almost 15 year old Morkie. Their communication was second to none. We cannot thank them enough. Thank you both for making our lyric so much easier. We hope to see you again soon. ❤️”
“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”
About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals but the bulk of my experience has been with dogs. I have carred for dogs of many different breads, ages-including puppies and senior dogs, and needs and I love them all. I am very outdoorsy, and an avid hiker, so if you have a dog who loves the woods and needs a good hike, I'm your gal! In addition to dogs, I am experienced with cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I am currently offering dog walking and pet care services as my primary job. In between taking care of animals I like to spend my free time staying active, spending time with my family, and working on creative projects. In addition to weekly dog walks, I offer the options of both overnight pet and house siting as well as drop in visits. The type of visit is dependent upon the animal and owner's needs. I provide loving attention, a consistent schedule, and lots of play time.
“Katherine was quick to respond and thoughtful to meet my dog prior to hire. She was caring and also knowledgeable. My dog warmed up to her. She was on time and communication was great.”
About: Having raised a young, active dog, I’m very comfortable managing high energy, playful routines, and keeping dogs entertained and happy. I understand how essential structured play, regular exercise, and gentle guidance are for younger or spunky pets. You can count on me to give your dog plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation, and lots of cozy affection so they feel right at home! I am a junior at Fairfield University, so I am available whenever I don’t have class and am not doing school work! I am a certified animal-lover and I would love to help make your pet comfortable and happy. As a student and a dog owner, I understand the importance of having a trusted caretaker to help ease your mind when you have to be away from home. Safety and personalized care are my top priorities. I have direct experience caring for a dog with IMHA (Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia), so I am very comfortable and experienced with strict medication schedules, monitoring subtle health or behavior changes, and following precise care instructions. I create a safe, low-stress environment with appropriate enrichment suited to your dog's specific energy levels and medical needs.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Kim A. and I am a passionate animal lover. I have cared for all different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and even deer for over 50 years. I grew up spending my summer's on my grandfather's ranch, so animal care and the love of animals has been a part of my life since a very young age. I have had eight dogs in my lifetime, from golden retrievers to sheep dogs, to cocker spaniels to cockapoos and more. I've also had a lop eared rabbit, who roamed freely throughout my house and had his own personal fenced in garden! I treat all animals like family, even the wildlife that find their way into my backyard. I will treat your animal as part of my family as well. I cant wait to meet your loving family members! I’m available 24/7 to be with your pet.. when you book with me I only leave the home to get food and to run quick errands. I don’t board pets.I prefer staying in there environment.. it helps with separation anxiety and the pet feels safe while the family is away from home.
“Devora was very good watching our dog and other animals for four days while we were away. She came to our house three times per day to walk our dog and feed her at night. She is very good with all animals. Definitely recommend her.”
About: With over 30 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and fish, I’ve dedicated much of my life to making sure animals are happy, healthy, and loved. From playful puppies to senior cats, energetic birds to peaceful aquariums, I understand that every pet has unique needs and a personality all their own. I’ve also spent years volunteering at animal shelters, giving my time and heart to animals in need. Those experiences taught me patience, compassion, and how to quickly build trust with pets of all temperaments. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, feeding, administering medications, or just providing a calm presence, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I retired from my corporate career in high level accounting and finance roles. Now I am focused on spending my time doing things I love. I love animals! So, my schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced in yard and a walkable neighborhood. I also have a mature female dog who is calm and friendly. I believe in making my guest feel welcome and loved.

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 .

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 Westport. 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 Westport.

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 Westport. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
