Dog Walkers in 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 😊”

“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 have loved and cared for dogs for years and have an Australian Shepherd named Ginger, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet.

I work full-time at PepsiCo and am about to start my part-time MBA, but I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so I have flexibility for pet care on those days.

About: My love for animals led me to start my own rescue, and I’ve been immersed in the rescue world for over 13 years. Along the way, I’ve also had the privilege of pet sitting for many wonderful clients and their beloved furbabies. *I’m certified by the Canadian Red Cross for First Aid for cats and dogs* I’ve experienced just about every aspect of animal care—from helping train puppies and walking dogs to supporting pregnant mama cats through birth to administering medication and even tube feeding dogs and cats recovering from surgery. My experience and knowledge have given me a deep understanding of how to provide personalized, attentive, and compassionate care—especially when pets need it most. And I truly believe a tired puppy is a happy puppy! I take great care in getting to know everything about your furbaby, whether they are big or small, to make sure they are cared for and pampered. It would truly be my pleasure to care for your pets as if they were my own while you’re away, keeping you in the loop every step of the way! I’m dedicating myself to pet sitting on a full-time basis, so pet care is my top priority in my daily routine. This allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship and comfort throughout the day. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, routine, and plenty of love while their owners are away. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific care needs, so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m very attentive to behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in appetite, energy, or health. I also respect your home as if it were my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away

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.

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 :)
