Dog Walking Burlington

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.

“Valerie has been dependable and reliable. She is very patient with Finn, an excitable cockapoo and sends detailed updates following walks including the cutest pictures :) Finn loves her and we appreciate her so much!”

“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’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.

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!

“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!”

“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: Hi! My name is Richelle, I live in Burlington with my husband, my two best pals— Indie and Wallace— and our newest addition, our daughter. I am currently on maternity leave with availability to care for your pets! When at work, I am in sales for a major pet food brand. I have been a dog owner (and dog lover) since the day I was born. My family has consistently had between one and four dogs at any time. The longer I work in the pet industry, the more I learn about and appreciate pets of all kind. I look forward to providing you assistance and meeting your furry friends! I have full availability to walk your pet and/or drop in for visits, play and feeding. I am available during the work week and on weekends. My home has a large fenced in yard and I have two fur babies to spend time with your pet. If I am visiting your home, you can trust I will respect your space and follow the rules for your pets in your home.

“Andrew was such a great dog walker for my dog Fitzgerald. He was quick to respond to my messages and very reliable. Fitzy loved him as soon as he saw him! I would highly recommend Andrew as a dog walker.”

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 am e-collar trained for dogs which is a unique skill. I come from “dog people” and am said to be a dog whisperer. I have 2 dogs, both poodle/doodle mixes under 24 pounds each. I work from home most days and would plan my boarding accordingly. I am often the friend/family boarding spot. I believe in crates for dogs who need it or are trained that way and for many dogs it’s the safest for them when alone both physically and emotionally. I have one dog (rescue) who eats and sleeps in his crate and another who sleeps sideways across the bed. I no longer have cats but have also grown up with them and can do in home visits. I currently work mostly from home. If you are stuck deciding to do that dinner with a friend or in traffic - just message me, I will run over and take care of your pets potty and meals. If you want your dog to stay at home with others but need drop in or a walk, I’m happy to do that too. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. There is plenty of play, hugs and cuddles for your fur baby. I have plenty of room too if your fur baby likes to be in their own space.

About: I have had a dog my entire life and love walking and taking care of them! I can walk them as long as needed and will take good care of them! I am currently working a full time position as a nurse! I would be able to walk after my shift or on my five days off! I have a fenced in years in order to keep my dog inside! I am looking for more dog walking the dog sitting but am open to both!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the hands-on experience I’ve built over the past 8+ years caring for my own pug as well as dogs belonging to friends. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities — from energetic huskies and playful poodles to smaller breeds like chihuahuas. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I always make it a priority to provide attentive, and reliable care. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m especially good at adapting to different energy levels and I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and someone pet owners can trust with their furry family members. I currently have open availability throughout most weekdays during the daytime. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. In the evenings, I am generally unavailable after 6 PM. Weekend availability can vary depending on my schedule, but I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate in advance to see what works best. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. For drop-ins and walks, I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, water, medications, exercise needs, and any behavioral preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I make sure pets are always secure during walks and monitored closely at all times. I also respect clients’ homes by keeping everything tidy, and provide regular updates and photos upon request so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for :)

“Mark our dog, Charlie. I booked him last minute and he was extremely accommodating and helpful, providing me with lots of details and a photo. Would definitely recommend and will use again. Thanks, Mark.”

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.

“I have used Julie's dog-walking services twice now for Eddie and Maggie and everything has gone super-smoothly! Great communication! I will definitely call on her again.”

About: I have taken care of my own pets (2 cats and 1 dog) for over ten years, and can bathe, feed, walk, play with, and help train pets. I have spent lots of time helping family friends with dogs that struggle eating, have sensitive skin, are hyperactive, and seniors. I also have experience working in an animal hospital for 2 years, with all kinds of dog and cat breeds. Working at the animal hospital taught me patience with animals and skills to take care of them properly (as well as information about different animals, breeds, and their health). Additionally, i have a summer job at a pet groomers, which has taught me a lot about pet care, discipline, and how to manage aggression. I treat all animals with love and respect, and work on building a trusting relationship between myself and the animal. I’m currently a full time university student, so I need to have access to a flexible work schedule as my courses and workload vary throughout the year. In your home, I will spend the duration of my time playing with and taking care of your pets needs, however that may be required. As I live with 4 other roommates, any of them are willing to help if more than one person is needed for any specific pet care needs.
