“I recently broke my ankle and Valerie was a life saver. She was very professional, on time and my pup was excited for their walks together. Will be using Valerie again in the near future.”
“Caroline was wonderful - she sent pictures and comments of every walk, and Minnie loves her! Minnie waited at the door for her to come for her walk the first night I was back home. I will certainly ask Caroline the next time we need a walker!”
About: I am a wildlife biologist who has grown up surrounded by pets. I have a couple of my own cats at home that I adopted over a year ago. I am very experienced with all types of dogs and love going on walks. I miss spending time with dogs so I will take great care of yours, and get them the exercise they need! I love all types of animals! I am happy to come visit your dogs, or cats, to help with their care, or take them on a walk! I'd be happy to take older dogs on slower walks around the neighbourhood, and energetic dogs can get their exercise on a long and fast-paced walk! I can't wait to meet your dog! I’m used to pet care being a part of my daily routine! I’m available most days throughout the day, right now I work as a barista so I often have short shifts and some weekdays off. I am a very responsible individual with lots of animal experience. I make it a priority to give my cats the best life I can with enrichment and proper diet. I always make it a priority to give your pets the best care possible.
About: I grew up with two dogs and was always fascinated about dogs as I grew I realized the bigger the dog the more I am in love Currently I'm a dedicated volunteer at kerr street mission in-between that I enjoy reading at the library so when it comes to pet care I'm super flexible I've been researching animals from a young age and I find it very easy to pick up cues from them that other people don't see
“Madeline was amazing with our two dogs. She was very professional and gave feedback on all walks and photos. Asked questions about them before she started walking, and came for a meet and greet.”
“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.”
“Rebecca has been taking our golden doodle (olive) for walks and I highly recommend her services. She is very professional, gentle and kind. Olive naturally gravitates towards her and looks forward to her walks! Thanks Rebecca!!”
“Raveen walked Scout for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment they met, Scout bonded with her immediately, which says so much because he's usually a great judge of character. Raveen was warm, patient, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. She kept me updated, took wonderful care of Scout, and made his first week with her completely stress-free. It was obvious that Scout felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It's such a relief knowing he's in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Raveen to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and genuinely amazing dog walker. We can't wait for Scout's next walk with her!”
“Maddie suffers from separation anxiety . Jeff has been wonderfully patient working with us to exercise Maddie’s separation muscles. Like everything muscle takes time to build. Jeff is so understanding , I am confident her will win her over.”
About: I’ve taken care of awkward dogs, affectionate dogs, chill dogs and I have experience with feeding them their special diets as instructed and following any specific potty time habits they may have to help them go potty. For example this one dog I dogsat would have to spin around in circles a few times before he went potty. I have experience staying overnight with dogs as well as cats. I have cats of my own as well and I’ve been around all kinds of pets my whole life so I’m very comfortable around most pets. I will be attending full time school in September but I will have time in between classes or before/after where I can schedule play dates and walks. When I enter the home I keep my energy calm. I try to get a read on whether the pet is comfortable with being approached. Then if they are, I hold out my hand so they can sniff it and familiarize themselves with my scent. I will follow any specific instructions there are so I can make sure they’re following their routine. I will play with them. A lot of the dogs I take care of enjoy tug o war or fetch. But with any pet, before play time I would want to have some time to just sit around them so they can get used to me before we start playing/walking. If possible I would prefer to set up a test meeting with pets and parents beforehand.
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.
“Madisyn was great with Penny, giving her lots of attention and good exercise. She provided nice updates while I was away and was very professional. Would recommend her for anyone looking for someone to walk or board their dog.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and get excited whenever I get the chance to spend time with one. I’ve helped care for my parents’, grandparents’, and sister’s dogs and love everything from walks and playtime to just relaxing and keeping them company. I know how important pets are to their families, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work as a figure skating coach for a few hours in the evenings, which leaves me available during the day and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pet. I am organized, reliable, and will always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I know pets are family, so I take caring for them seriously. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, or just have someone keep them company, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I live in an apartment with access to safe walking areas and a nearby park, making it easy to give dogs plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities and I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I’ll always follow your instructions and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind.
About: I have experience ranging from fish, dogs, cats to even horses, growing up I used to pet sit/walk for family friends, neighbours and even at a family owned campground for local campers to enjoy a night out and have their pet cared for while doing so. I love long hikes, so if your furry friend is in need of that I have 2 years of experience with on leash and off leash hiking with dogs, or if your pet just needs some snuggles I’m happy to do that aswell! I spent 2 years working for an outdoor dog daycare gaining lots of hands on experience with training, socialization and regular dog care. I’m currently working part time morning shifts a few days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, from 8-12 other than that my schedule is pretty open! I like to do individualized care programs based off each pet’s individual needs, aswell as owner preferences. Because just like us, our furry friends have totally different likes and needs too 🙂
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve fostered and adopted dogs, cats, and small animals, and as a pet store owner, I’ve gained valuable experience in pet care, behavior, and nutrition. I’m confident working with puppies, seniors, and all temperaments. Being a student gives me a very open and flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I can adjust my availability to suit your pet’s routine. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect and care. I follow all instructions closely, keep pets safely leashed during walks, and ensure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure. I provide updates, photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times
“Brittany did a wonderful job making sure our two pups were walked and fed while we were out of town. I was relieved to know they were in such good hands and were cared for so well while we were gone! Thank you so much - would highly recommend!”
About: I'm definitely an animal lover & genuinely care about animals. I grew up with many pets. I work full time, part of the time from home. I also have a 15 year old who really loves dogs in particular, and they participated in the OMHS's weekly Kindness Club and several weeks of OMHS summer camps over the years. We are offering dog walking, including any activities you would suggest we do with your dog to make them happy & healthy. I am available some of the hours when I am working from home during the weekdays 8:30 am-4:30 pm, as well as after work in the late afternoons, and on weekends all day. I am consciencious, considerate, dedicated, loving care provided for your pet. I am reliable and responsible. Respectful of your needs and requests for your pet.
“Melissa was great at walking both of my dogs. Both girls got so excited when it was time for their walk and would wag their tails when they saw her. She was also very communicative and on time”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Burlington is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 5,815 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Burlington. About 87% of Burlington 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 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 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 Burlington 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 Burlington 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 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!
