About: Неу! My name is Rawan, and I grew up in an animal loving house. My dad was an animal lover, and naturally so am I. I love all types of animals... small rodents, dogs, cats, birds. I love them all. I have been gentle, caring, and loving with animals from a young age. My first ever pet was a hamster, I had two of them. From ages 8-12, and took care of them myself. I would change their litter, feed them, play with them, and of course make sure they were, healthy and happy. I've had two fishes, turtles and 2 dogs as well as taken care of family members dogs and cats for periods of times while they were out of town. I currently have a cat. Who I adore. I love animals so much, and I am grateful to be able to spread my love for animals by taking the time to care for other fur babies! Feel free to reach out anytime! :) I am available 10 a.m.-10 p.m. to walk your dogs, and check up on your fur babies! (but if you have any other requests out of that time frame don't hesitate to reach out) I am not offering services in my home at this time. The only services I am offering in home is drop-in visits and overnight pet sitting that would take place at the clients home. Keep in mind that, I keep my calendar updated on the app. :) i am on my summer break from school so i am mostly free anytime, text me and we can talk more about what time suits you best When I sit dogs in a client's home, I make sure they're happy and safe by: Learning Their Routine: I talk to the owner to understand their dog's daily schedule, food, exercise needs, and any special care. Keeping Things Consistent: I stick to the dog's usual routine for feeding, walking, and medication. Exercise and Play: I give them plenty of exercise and playtime based on their energy level. Safety and Comfort: I make sure the home is safe and cozy, keeping doors and gates secure. Love and Attention: I spend lots of time with the dogs, giving them attention and affection. Regular Updates: I send the owner updates, photos, and videos to keep them in the loop. Being Prepared: I know where the nearest vet is and have a plan for emergencies. This way, the dogs are well cared for and their owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my whole life. My first job was a dog walking service around my neighborhood growing up! My boyfriend and I have attended many dog training seminars when he was looking into getting a puppy, and I learned lots from them! I currently work part-time, only about 3-4 times a week for a maximum of 5-6 hours at a time. The shifts vary throughout the week, so I have lots of flexibility for pet care! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I have a backyard with grass. I have 2 small cats who are very dog friendly, and have lived with a dog in the past for 2 years! If your fur baby isn’t much of a cat person, my cats have a very large basement which is basically their home anyways, and would have no problem staying down there while I care for your baby for a little bit:)
About: Besides growing up with our family's beloved pets, I've also had the pleasure of working at two veterinary clinics, and have pet sat for multiple friends.

There are 145 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Amherstburg. About 88% of Amherstburg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 Amherstburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
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 travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Amherstburg.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Amherstburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Amherstburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
