“Nicole was amazing. So much that my dog doesn't want to go for walks with me anymore! She was professional, caring and proactive. She gave many updates and made the walks better and more fun for my dog than I normally would. Hugo was sold!”

“My Aunt and Uncle were looking after our dog while we were on vacation. Melanie walked our dog everyday while we were on vacation. I’ve never used a dog walking service before and Melanie was amazing. Very conscientious, wanting to know if our dog had any allergies. She gave us updates everyday on his walks. Our dog loved Melanie and looked forward to his daily walk. Thank you so much Melanie for treating our dog so well and making this such a good experience. Highly recommend Melanie’s services.”

“Amy is incredibly responsible and reliable. She kindly accepted my last-minute request and helped walk Xiaolao when I was extremely busy and overwhelmed. I’m truly grateful for her help. During the past two days of walks, Xiaolao clearly enjoyed spending time with her and looked very happy and comfortable. If I ever need help again, I will definitely reach out to Amy without hesitation. Highly recommended!”

About: **To make sure every furry guest gets the love and attention they deserve, I only welcome dogs from ONE guest family at a time** I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was six years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life! 🐾 I absolutely love spending time with animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and personalities. I currently have two super friendly girls at home—a Westie and a Border Collie—who love making new furry friends! I thought it would be wonderful to welcome other pups into our home for some fun playdates and companionship. Our home offers a spacious, grassy backyard with trees, perfect for exploring, playing, and enjoying some fresh air. We’re also just a short walk from a lovely, dog-friendly community park. Whether your pup prefers relaxing indoors, playing in the backyard, or going on walks, there’s something for every personality! My goal is to create a home\-away\-from\-home experience where your pup can have a wonderful time, make new friends, and feel completely at ease while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby I am working from home most of the days and my mom is at home everyday since she’s retired. I have 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a fenced yard and I also walk them twice a day. I regularly let them go out to the backyard to play and I have toys at home to keep them busy. All pets allowed to be on furniture as they are part of the family

About: In Newmarket not Toronto. I work from home most of the time, so I’m around all day. If I’m not around, my partner and family will always be home to help out. I look forward to going out for long walks with your pup! Reason for being on rover: I’m waiting a couple of years before getting a dog because I need the flexibility to travel at the moment. Also living at my parents house while I’m househunting for the right one! Therefore I’m more than happy with to look after pets when I’m around! 😊 I like to walk/play catch, or just lounge if your pup needs some social time or cuddles. 🤗🐶🐾 My doggy boarding/walking life started in 2013 when I used to walk my old landlords long haired German Sheppard, then I started looking after my sister’s French bulldog, and the rest was history! I really miss having a dog around so I’ll hang out with yours! 😊 Feel free to ask me any questions! I am a runner so if you have a dog that needs more activity, I would be happy to run with them. I’m currently working from home I will be home all day! I’ll need to go for walks at least as much as your pup does! 😊🐶 I’m currently living at my parents house while I’m househunting for a new one! We are all at home so lots of people to enjoy hanging out with! Large house with a fenced in backyard.

About: I’ve always loved being around cats and dogs, even though I haven’t had the chance to own one myself. Over the past three years, I’ve been living with friends who pet cats, which gave me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in daily pet care. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend a lot of quality time with pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and not alone. I will not just take care of your pets, but become a friend. As someone who loves outdoor activities, I genuinely enjoy going on walks and exploring nature. I’d love to have a furry companion join me on those adventures, making sure they get both physical activity and mental stimulation. I’m patient, responsible, and truly care about building trust with both pets and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be present throughout the day. I’m able to give pets regular attention, timely meals, walks, and companionship without long periods of absence. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar environments, so I aim to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m attentive to behavior and small changes, making sure pets are comfortable, well-exercised, and never left feeling anxious or neglected. I also keep spaces clean, remove any potential hazards, and ensure doors, windows, and outdoor areas are secure at all times. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

This was the first time we booked with Mehrnaz and it won’t be the last! She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and our dog just loved her time with Mehrnaz. We received timely updates and pictures and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! We were so nervous about booking but Mehrnaz ensured our experience was better than anyone would expect, and most of all, her care of our fur baby was more than we asked for.

We used their dog-walking services over the summer for our big Cane Corso mix, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Our dog can be a little challenging with separation anxiety and pulling, but they handled him so well and were incredibly patient and professional. We would 100% recommend their services to anyone with a larger breed, especially if your dog needs a little extra patience and care!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Aurora

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

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 Aurora. 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 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 Aurora 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.

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 Aurora 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.

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.

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.

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 Aurora 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.
