About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid and grew up with a dog of my own so being around animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of neighbours’ and friends’ pets and gained experience with different personalities and routines. I’m comfortable feeding pets letting dogs out for bathroom breaks cleaning up messes and giving them lots of attention affection and playtime. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient dependable attentive and always happy to give pets the care and companionship they need. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I recently finished my third year of university and am currently on summer break, so I’m looking to fill my time doing something I truly love. I’m available most days and have a very flexible schedule. I currently work part time on weekends but I’m completely willing and able to adjust my schedule if needed to make sure pets get the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s feeding walks playtime bathroom breaks or simply keeping pets company, I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and give them consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy creating a calm comfortable environment where pets feel safe loved and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very attentive to the animals in my care and always make their safety comfort and wellbeing my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible so they feel safe relaxed and well cared for in their familiar environment. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has different needs personalities and routines. I pay close attention to their behaviour habits and overall wellbeing and I would never hesitate to reach out to an owner if I had any concerns about their pet. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s animal very seriously because I know I would only want the very best care for my own pets. I always aim to create a calm loving and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident leaving their pets in my care.
About: I'm finally making my return to Rover! And bringing back much more experience, knowledge, and skills. 🙋🏻♀️ For the past few years, I have trained and boarded a variety of dogs - most of them being rescues. ❤️ When I first signed up to be a foster paw-rent, I dove into the deep end in order to be ready to receive a new dog and provide the best care and home for him. Our first foster dog ended up have a whole host of behavioural issues that really helped us learn how to deal with dogs that may need a little extra attention. I have very valuable experience with reactive dogs that also deal with separation anxiety. Also, my former roommate and I rescued a pup who now is full time with her (I moved into my own house) and even has her own kids book series! (Penny Tries to Boil the Ocean) I am an active individual and enjoy going on adventures! I will protect your dog from anyone and anything so your furry friend will be safe with me and will also feel loved and have lots of fun! I used to be a former lifeguard/swim instructor so if your dog loves to swim, we're meant to be! :) My partner is a paramedic and when he's not at work, he loves to partake in the walking/training/entertainment. I am also flexible so you never have to feel stressed when working with me. I am quick to answer in case you need to reach me. I am against littering so rest assured that I will be a good poop-picker-upper! PS, if you want a mini-photoshoot of your dog while you're at work/away, I'm your person. If you have any questions or want to jump on a phone call, just send me a message. I hope to meet you and your furry baby soon! I'm in tech and work full-time at my home office. It also gives me flexibility so for the most part, I can accommodate different schedules whether if it's for pickup/drop off or for your dog's routine. I live in a lovely neighbourhood and am in a house that is dog-friendly with a small backyard. We have a cat at home, who only gets along with dogs.
About: I’ve helped multiple friends and family with their pets over the past 10 years. For 8 years, I myself owned an English Bulldog named Wilbur. I now have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever named Buddy. I am a mom of two and a teacher. I am an educator, so I am available each day of the summer to support you. I would be happy to walk your dogs, visit them or board them. I have a fenced yard and a park across my street. I have a people and pet loving dog myself. I am trustworthy and flexible and can work with what your needs are!
About: I have had my dog for 10 years now, and I absolutely adore taking her on walks and going on adventures together. I was her main trainer in the family, even though I was merely 14 at first! I am 24 now and my love of dogs has only grown. My family and friends often have me dog-sit for them, because I truly enjoy any time spent with our furry friends, and because I believe it is incredibly important to have someone savvy take care of your dogs! I always am researching and learning more about dogs to make sure that I am giving my girl the absolute best. I have helped train puppies, taken care of seniors, and have cared for reactive dogs. I would love to help take care of your furry family members and give them all the pets they want! I am currently in a college program that is primarily asynchronous, and therefore, my schedule is pretty open! With proper notice, I can be available on any day of the week. I am more than willing to follow whatever routine you already have set for your dog, and I am happy to reinforce any training methods you are working on! I do not mind if there are special requirements, as your dog's safety and comfort is the most important thing.
About: IG: Lady.rav Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs throughout my entire university journey, three years of walks, cuddles, and drop-ins for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. From bouncy puppies still learning the ropes to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I’ve handled it all. I’m also a cat owner myself, so animals truly are a part of my everyday life. Whether your pup is a high-energy large breed or a small dog who just wants company, they’ll be in fun, caring hands with me. As a university student, my days are flexible and I structure my time around the dogs I care for. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week, and I’m always reachable and responsive when pet parents need updates or last-minute bookings. Since I come to your home, your dog gets to stay in their own familiar environment — no stress, no adjustment period. I treat every client’s home with full respect, follow any house rules or routines you have in place, and always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before anything else. You’ll get updates and photos throughout so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life, which has given me strong, hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, and understanding animal behaviour. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic puppies and older pets who may need extra patience and attention. I have experience with feeding schedules, walking, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I also understand how important consistency is for pets and always try to maintain their normal routines to help them feel comfortable. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and genuine love for animals. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also very reliable and will keep you updated so you always feel at ease. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for morning and afternoon visits, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for in a familiar environment. I’m attentive, responsible, and always aware of my surroundings during walks and visits to ensure pets stay safe. I create a calm, positive environment where pets feel relaxed and supported. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and a cat and have spent years caring for pets in my own home! I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like my own! I am currently looking for a part-time position for the summer, so I will have flexible dedicated time for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends.

“Emily has been amazing so far walking my dog and dropping in to check on my cat. I have a very busy work schedule that changes from day to day and Emily has been extremely flexible and accommodating to all my needs. Not to mention she takes the CUTEST pictures of my dog who always looks so happy to be hanging out with her. Highly recommend her 😊”

About: I have a 1 year old puppy Finnigan who could use a friend as I work from home. I would have to make sure the dogs meet in advance to ensure a good match. I work from home and my typical schedule for walks with Finny is a 40min walk at lunchtime and a 20min walk after work. We would love to make new friends! I have a one bedroom condo with a balcony overlooking a forest. Finnigan is friendly with almost all dogs and people. I am laid back and friendly!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
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.

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 Burlington. 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 Burlington.

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 Burlington 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!
