“Lisette has been such a great help our anxious dog. She walks her on a weekly basis and has established a relationship with our dog who is always skeptical of anyone who isn't immediate family. Lisette is highly communicative - she always lets us know about anything out of the ordinary, she's very responsive, flexible, and has almost always been available in a pinch. Thanks Lisette!”
“Emily was great with my stubborn dog Lizzie. She’s patient and knows exactly how to handle her quirks. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in caring, capable hands. Couldn’t ask for a better walker!”

“Kellin is great! She responded back really quickly even with my short notice. She sent me pictures and updated me during my dog’s walk. I’m pleased with her service and will definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.
About: Dogs have been my favorite kind of people for as long as I can remember. I shared some of my life with my beagle, Scout (queen of sniffing adventures and professional cuddle expert) for many years, and I’ve been hooked on canine companionship ever since. I’ve cared for dogs big and small, shy and bouncy, healthy and medically fragile, and I pride myself on being the human they feel safe with. Whether it’s long walks, belly rub marathons, or silly playtime on the floor, I’m all in. My goal? A happy, tail-wagging pup who can’t wait to see me again. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on occasion. Weekends or weeknights. I can also take your dog to the dog park if that is preferred. My vehicle is accommodating for pups of all sizes. When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always follow the routines and rules set by each pet parent, from feeding schedules to walk routes, to make sure pets feel secure and comfortable. I keep a close eye on their body language and needs, and I’m mindful of safe spaces for them to rest and relax. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I create a calm, loving environment where pets are treated like family (plenty of affection, play, and attention, with their well-being always first).

“We were delighted to have Jennifer walk our dog. She was responsive and punctual, and our dog enjoyed her long walks. Our dog can be reactive around other dogs, but Jennifer was up for the challenge. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Jennifer again or recommend her to others looking for someone caring to look after their pets.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ancaster on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,354 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Ancaster. About 87% of Ancaster 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 Ancaster. 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 Ancaster.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 Ancaster 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. 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.
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.
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 Ancaster 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 walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
