About: Hi! I’m Valerie, and I’m so excited to care for your dog like one of my own. My love for dogs runs deep. My family and I adopted Molly when she was 4 years old, and while she came to us with anxiety and fear, with time, patience, and a whole lot of love, she blossomed into the most loyal and loving companion. I had the joy of caring for her for 8 beautiful years until she passed in 2022. During that time, I learned so much about adult dog care, understanding emotional behavior, and adjusting to different needs and personalities. Dogs have such a special way of bringing joy into everyday life, and I truly miss having that energy around. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, I’ve been there and I don’t take that lightly. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, some playtime, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I’d love to support their routines, give them the love and attention they deserve, and help owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. I work from home full-time as a digital marketer. I have the flexibility in my schedule to fit in regular walks, especially since I’m always looking for ways to move more and get outside. Walking dogs gives me the perfect reason to enjoy fresh air and exercise, something I miss doing daily with my own pup. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a trip to the park, I’d love to be part of your dog’s routine and help bring some extra joy to their day! Just message me ahead of time with your desired time :) Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe, calm, and cared for. I’m happy to send updates so you always know how things are going. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust this takes and I take that seriously.

About: I have extensive experience working with complex dog behaviors. I’m highly skilled at reading canine body language and use calming signals, patience, and empathy to build trust and ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable in my care. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who are reactive to people or other animals, and I’m confident in my ability to work safely and compassionately with all behavior types. No matter the breed or temperament, I’m committed to making your pet feel comfortable, secure, and cared for—just like they’re my own. I’m also experienced in administering medications—whether it’s pills, topical treatments, or insulin injections—for both dogs and cats. You can feel confident knowing your pet’s medical needs will be handled with care, precision, and compassion. Dog walking and pet drop ins are currently my full time job! I am committed to caring for every animal I get the pleasure of meeting! I am currently not offering any in home boarding in my own house as my pup is very dog selective. I am available for pet drop in service, where I will feed, water, administer medication, and love on your pet!

“Elijah has been absolutely FANTASTIC with our Aussie. Our guy is overly excitable towards strangers in the house but IMMEDIATELY warmed up to Elijah and looks forward to his visits every day. Elijah has also done an outstanding job managing his reactivity to dogs on their walks. He was also extremely flexible to our schedule which helped a lot. We would highly recommend Elijah to anybody needing care for their animals.”



“I hired Krista to walk our dog and had a great experience. Krista was great at communicating with me pre and post walk, she was on time, very friendly and was excited to meet our girl. I would definitely recommend Krista and will be booking her again soon!”


About: I am a newly married, dog walker with years of hands-on experience - from training puppies to caring for senior dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped raise, walk, and love them through every stage. I currently walk and dog-sit in Oakville and absolutely love it. I may not have a pup of my own just yet, but that just means yours will get all of my love and attention. Reliable, warm, and experienced - your dog will be treated like family! 🐶💛 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I work entirely remotely and am an early riser, so I have lots of flexibility for walks throughout the day. I’m available for early morning walks before 9am, lunch breaks between 11am–1pm, and evening strolls from 4pm–6pm. As a former varsity athlete and an active individual, staying moving is important to me - and I can’t think of a better way to do that than with a dog by my side! Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I care for your dog like they’re my own. On walks, I make sure they’re safe, stimulated, and happy - sticking to their usual pace, checking for signs of fatigue or overheating, and giving plenty of praise and affection. If I’m caring for them in your home, I follow your routine closely to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. You can count on me to give your pup the same love and attention I’d give my own!

“Shannon was great with my dog Salmon! She is so caring and is an animal lover for sure. The pictures show my dog really enjoying their walks together. I would recommend Shannon for anyone needing a dog walker or sitter, she's just great!”


“Diana was punctual and kind at pick up and drop off. I appreciated how she shared several pictures during her walk with Bella and was great with communication throughout my entire experience with her. Bella has a great time- thank you!”


“We’ve booked Jeff weekly and our puppy is always so happy to see him. It was clear upon meeting Jeff a couple months ago that he’s a dog lover. Jeff is always on time for our pup’s check-ins and is super responsive to our requests. His love and care for our puppy is clear in the notes and photos he leaves. We’re grateful for Jeff’s help and will definitely book with him in the future!”



“Alena was an amazing Host that helped us out when we were stuck after a different host cancelled. Fen was treated with love and attention and came home one sleepy pup. Kept us posted with pictures and updates. Cant recommend Alena enough, you wouldn't be disappointed.”


“Would definitely rate Morgan more than 5 stars if I could!! She was amazing! She sent me tons of pictures, took care of my boy and kept me updated the entire time!! This was my first experience with rover and she has made a repeat customer out of me!!!”


About: Since I was a child I have always had at least 1 dog in my home! As a work from home mom, I am able to provide all the the care and attention your dog may need. We are a family that absolutely loves dogs and there is no doubt your dog will receive a loving environment whilst with us. I am currently working part-time from home and so am able to give your pup the attention it needs during the day and go out for regular walks. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced in back yard and have a friendly 4 year old cockapoo who will keep your pup company. I am happy to be flexible when it comes to the sleeping arrangement of each pup, if you would prefer me to crate your dog at night, I will gladly do that.

“This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been smoother. Lorraine was very responsive and reassuring. We were kept abreast of her entire interaction with Jasper including photos of the walk and details of their time spent together. We would highly recommend Lorraine and know we won’t hesitate to use her in the future.”

“Julie was on time but my dog Willow did not want to walk. Just like people dogs have up and down moments. Sometimes I wish they could talk. Thank you for letting Willow out.”


“Caroline did a fantastic job again with my golden retriever. She's very dependable and caring towards my dog. I would again; recommend her to anyone who is looking for either dog walking or a dependable person to look after their pet. I will be definitely calling on Caroline in the future.”

Yes, we give them gifts at Christmas and have a 10th Birthday party for them, with their friends. I am retired and my wife Jill works half time so we have plenty of time to dedicate to the care of an important part of your family - your pet. We have plenty of room in our house, a fully fenced backyard, and our kitchen sliding door is fitted with a medium dog sized doggy door April 1st to Nov 1st. Our large deck off our kitchen has a gate should there be a need for a smaller area. We are comfortable with puppies as well as older aging pets. We've experienced it all. We can put your mind at ease that your pet will be well treated and protected. We can accept two small pets from the same family. Your pet will become part of our family while they are here. A walk (or more) every day. Play time. Outside time. They will be loved and you can put your mind at ease whether it is for an emergency afternoon visit or more. We have gates that we can divide a room off if time is needed alone. Note-In the event that an overlap for a few hours between client schedules we will keep the coming in and going out dogs apart. Please Note-That although Rover is based on boarding per night, we request that the arrival time for a dog match the pick up time within three hours. If more than that, an addition doggie day care fee of 25 dollars will be added to final cost.

Valerie M.
“I’ve known Valerie for over 15 years, and I can confidently say that any dog would be lucky to have her as a walker. Valerie has a natural connection with animals—kind, patient, and always attentive to their needs. Whether it’s rain or shine, she is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I've seen firsthand how much dogs respond to her calm energy and playful spirit especially with my fur baby, Spartacus. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, look no further.”

Sarah has been walking my boy for a long time now and she has always gone above and beyond in every way.

We were so fortunate to have Grace and her daughter provide dog walking services for us over the weekend. They arrived on time, sent several photos and provided comprehensive feedback on the walk. They are the absolute best and we were so happy to have them look after our dog Tilly again! Thanks so much!

I was in need of someone to walk my dog, Charlie, first thing in the morning, as I tend to leave for work early. Brandon was reliable, great at communicating and providing me with updates, he is calm, and someone Charlie immediately felt comfortable with. I would highly recommend Brandon for anyone needing dog walking or pet care services with someone they can trust.

It was a pleasure meeting with Lisa, having her fill in and take our puppy for his walk. He is a creature of habit but he took to her quickly and enjoyed the belly rubs she gave. She was punctual and followed all the instructions that I had requested. I recommend her and will be using her services again

Caitlyn is fantastic! My pup took to her as soon as she entered the house and it was then that I knew they would best buds. It’s obvious that Caitlyn is experienced and so attentive as she asked all the right questions. I would highly recommend her to mind your pets!
