“Erinne was wonderful with our dog, Daisy! She was friendly, reliable, and clearly great with dogs. She was also able to accommodate a last-minute request, which was so helpful. Daisy was always happy to see her and came back from walks calm and content. We’d definitely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future 🐾”
“Abbey is so great with our blind dog, Sunny. She is patient and takes her time with him. She ensures she has control of him at all times for safety. He gets excited to go out with her. We feel so lucky to have found Abbey. Thank you Abbey and Rover.”

“Thank you Tricia for your help this week looking after Marley. You are so loving with Marley and seeing his excitement when he saw you the one day, I knew he was in good hands.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the person friends, family, and neighbors would ask to look after their pets because they knew how much I genuinely enjoyed spending time with animals. While I’m new to Rover, caring for pets isn’t new to me. I’ve looked after dogs for family members and friends, whether that meant taking them for walks, spending time with them while their owners were away, or making sure they felt loved and cared for throughout the day. Outside of Rover, I’m a wedding photographer with flexible weekday availability. Since I’m already someone who loves being outdoors, staying active, and getting fresh air, dog walking felt like the perfect fit. I truly enjoy being around animals, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pup a fun walk, plenty of attention, and lots of care while you’re away! I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m a photographer so I do have pretty flexible hours. I work mostly on weekends but I have a lot of extra time during week ! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions carefully, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away. During walks, I’ll keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they have plenty of water and breaks when needed. For drop-in visits, I’ll ensure your pet has fresh water, food (if requested), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and kindness I would my own.
About: I have 4 cats at home, and 1 even loves going outside for leashed walks or car rides and camping trips. I also work for a pet store, so I interact with dogs of all ages and breeds every day, including potential high stress situations. I work full time at a pet store, but on my days off I’d love to walk with your furry family member to get out some energy and give them some exercise. I work at a pet store, and do rigorous monthly safety training to make sure all of our furry friends and our humans stay safe.
“I've used and reviewed Esten as a Rover dog walker, but want to give props to him as a sitter as well. Puppy's take an a bit extra to manage at times, and he took great care of Kingston. I appreciated the photos of him making himself at home in his place, and Kingston came back happy so -- thumbs up again for Esten!”

About: Ever since I was 8 years old I always enjoyed taking care of our multiple family cats by feeding and spending quality time with them. I cared for my cat mango for 17 wonderful years and he meant the world to me. I also enjoy spending time with our family dog who we've had for 15 years. I would take him for walks, feed him, pet-sit him while my parents were away, and play with him at the park in his younger years. I have experience litter training cats and my former pet rabbit. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I have many year's experience it's something I am passionate about. I also have a flexible work schedule which allows me to set my own routines without much interference. I've cared for pets for many years growing up as a child and into my adulthood, therefore it's something I really enjoy doing. In client's homes I would treat their pet as if it were my own and ensure they get the best care possible during the visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Bowmanville is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,276 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Bowmanville. About 86% of Bowmanville 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 Bowmanville. 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 Bowmanville 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 Bowmanville 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 Bowmanville 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!
