“Jeff is amazing person.. I have seen such a difference in Bandits behavior since he's been walking him.. His ability to redirect and correct bandits bad behavior..is showing.. when I take him out.. Consistancy is the key.. and it wasn't something he was getting when my teenage son was walking him. Jeff has proven to be quite flexible with the days I need him.. He punctual.. and reliable. Something my son was not. His love for animals shows.. by the sad look in some of the pics he sends me of bandit when hes dropping him back off from his walk.. Bandits looks like he's teary eyed because Jeff leaving. lol I'd like to thank Jeff for being there when I can't. It's much appreciated.”
About: As a pet parent in my own home, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a unique group of beloved dogs and cats. My family includes two cats with specialized health needs, a large Lab mix with hip dysplasia and allergies, and a Border Collie who struggles with anxiety. It can feel like a zoo at times, but I genuinely love caring for them and ensuring each of their individual needs is met with patience, attention, and compassion. My schedule allows me the availability to take jobs most of day, Monday - Friday from 6am to 4pm. This allows me to work owners in with last minute needs as well. I have experience and am very comfortable with walking various sized breeds and training level in city neighborhoods or trails. Comfortable with giving medication, bathing and feeding. Love spending time with animals and want to ensure they are comfortable and happy.
About: Since I was born, my family has owned dogs. Growing up, I had two big dogs, a Husky, Collie mix names Fisher and German Shephard, Rottweiler mix named Sam. Our next pup was a mutt named Bolt that we had rescued from the Highway up in Northern Muskoka. She was a small dog with a Boxer, Pug and Terrier mix. It wasn't until 2016 when I saved my first cat from being hit by a car, Mango, that I was fully taking care of my onw pet. To date, we now have a Husky Australian Shephard puppy named Luna, and Mango and another little black kitty named Jolene. I also live with a Rottweiler Lab mix named Poppy, who is such a sweetie, and a crazy ginger kitten named Hippo. I am well versed in dog and cat handling, and will take extra care and time with your pets. There is no limit to the amount of love they will receive while in my care! In my house currently, we have three cats and a dog. I would say that pet care is a major priority in my day. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after and caring for our babies is absolutely part of my daily life. I will ensure your pets are handled with the highest professional care. They will have a constant eye on them so long as I am caring for them. They are my top priority and I will ensure that they are safe during walkings, feedings, play and cuddle time. I take pet enrichment very seriously and will ensure your pet is sleepy at the end of the day.
About: I grew up on a hobby farm with sheep, goats, horses, cats and Siberian Huskies. I have had cats all my life and I have a 3 year old miniature wiener dog named Dottie. My yard is fully fenced. Pets are family and I look forward to caring for yours. I’m off evenings and weekends but work during the week. I still am able to pet sit during the week by providing walks in the morning, around noon hour then again in the evenings. My yard is fully fenced and home is baby gated so that pets don’t have full roam of the home or stairs. I have no children and my dog is friendly with other dogs and is fixed and fully vaccinated.
“Keyla was on time and so friendly to both of our dogs. Archie took right to Keyla with over excitement jumping, she immediately met Archie at his level and gave him lots of love! Love the rover card so that you know the route they take! Even though this was just a meet and greet, Keyla was comfortable and asking questions about likes and dislikes of our dogs. Definitely will be booking more walks for Archie and puppy visits for Ruby with Keyla! Thank You”

“We are so glad we found Andrea! She came over for a meet and greet with Ellie and was so great with her. We instantly felt comfortable trusting her with our fur baby.

About: I have had pets my entire life and cannot remember a time without animals. I grew up with cats and they have always been part of my life. During my teen and university years, my family also had a diabetic West Highland Terrier, and I was closely involved in his daily care. I have extensive experience caring for pets with medical needs. Our dog was diabetic, and I was responsible for administering insulin. Over the years, I have also cared for two diabetic cats, giving insulin injections and managing their routines. I am comfortable giving medication or drops to cooperative pets and understand the importance of consistency, calmness, and trust when providing medical care. I regularly care for cats and dogs for family and friends when they are away, providing drop in visits, dog walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, and medication as needed. I currently have two cats of my own and often cat sit my “grandcat,” so caring for multiple cats and maintaining routines is very familiar to me. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs of all ages and enjoy providing calm, nurturing care. For safety and wellbeing, I do not take on pets with aggressive behaviours. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I own my own business and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to visit pets, take them for walks, play with them, and spend relaxed time with them throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. During drop in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, fresh water is provided, litter boxes are cleaned as needed, and any medications are given according to instructions. I spend quality time with each pet during visits, whether that means playtime, gentle companionship, or simply sitting with them if they prefer a calmer presence. For dogs, I provide safe, attentive walks suited to their energy level and comfort, followed by time to relax and settle back at home. I am respectful of each client’s home and follow all care instructions closely. My goal is for pets to feel calm, cared for, and well attended while their owners are away.

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

There are 1,721 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Brantford. About 87% of Brantford 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 Brantford. 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 Brantford.
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 Brantford 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.

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 Brantford 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:
- 80% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
