“Absolutely wonderful experience! Elysha took Collette for a full hour-long walk and even took the time to give one of the cats some pets when she came out to say hello! 🐾 You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure everyone gets a little love. We really appreciated the care and attention she showed both of my fur babies and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners! ❤️”
“Maddie was so wonderful! I had to book last minute, at holiday time no less, and she was amazing and easy to book with. My pup was home with my mother who has a hard time physically managing him and Maddy even helped towel him off from the snow. Rubble was so happy to see her every time!”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing! She was so accommodating on short notice to be able to fit us in to her schedule. Riley had a wonderful time on his walk. The photos I got from the walk together were so cute and I loved being able to see where they had gone on the map. Communication was excellent with Kendra, and I felt very safe leaving my little guy with her. Riley is already waiting for his next walk! Highly recommend”
About: I’m a dog person who currently has two tiny human puppies keeping me extremely busy! 😂 Since adopting a dog isn’t realistic for me right now, I figured I’d borrow yours instead. I’m calm, patient, and pretty confident around dogs, and I’d love to spend my free time hanging out with them. I’m especially interested in leash training—helping dogs walk nicely without turning every walk into a full-body workout for their human. 🐕💪 Basically, your dog gets a fun day out, I get my dog fix, and everyone goes home happy! I work from home most of the week, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime during the day, evenings, and weekends. Safety and trust come first. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make sure they’re comfortable, supervised, and never put in a situation where they could get hurt. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to a dog’s behaviour and body language. For walks, I’m especially focused on safe leash handling and calm, controlled walks without pulling.
“We just had our first meeting with Stephen. He was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind with our high-anxiety dog. Stephen didn’t rush anything and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace, which made a huge difference. His calm energy and understanding approach helped her feel safe and comfortable much faster than we expected. We’re so impressed with how well they Stephen the introduction, and we already feel confident trusting him with her. Highly recommend to anyone with a nervous or sensitive pup!”
About: **Returning Rover Petsitter/Dog Walker** What sets me apart is my calm, consistent, and compassionate approach to every pet I care for. I have hands-on experience walking large breeds, walking two dogs at once, and providing gentle care for senior pets—including dogs with vision impairment who need extra patience and attention. I also understand how to support dogs with separation anxiety, offering them comfort and stability while their owners are away. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs a full 1-hour walk or a senior dog who requires a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s needs. I’m confident, dependable, and truly love spending time with animals. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for with me! I work available Sunday to Tuesday , and so I have plenty of time to care for your furry babies and provide them the attention and care they absolutely deserve. Do contact me to get more details. I will respond quickly and let you know about my availability after we discuss more about it. Thankyou!
About: I take care of the elderly and there pets with walking/cleanings and in general good company. I love going for walks just as much as all the pets I've went on walks with and playing catch is a great excersize/past time. I have a part time job and looking to fill in the gaps with some well needed excersize and more income ofcourse. It also helps with networking and making friends while im out and about. When my new location is updated we will have our own fenced in environment not just for your fur baby but also our own in the home so that they can go outside and play while getting the company they need. There is also security cameras and a constant flow of water to help hydrate them during the hot days.
“Sam came and walked my anxious dog Kuma for the allotted time while I was away from home. She was able to persuade Kuma to trust her and completed the walk with photo updates and a GPS course of the path taken. Kuma is happy and so am I.”

About: I always loved being around the pups, I feel they are my stress busters. Whenever I'm with them I feel happier and always loved playing with them since my childhood. I also worked with agencies where I used to take them to walking or dog sitting and also I have taken care of my friend's dogs and took them walking and played with them in the park. I'm a student and I have plenty of time on the weekends and I'm also free on the weekends to play and walk your pups. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play if they need and I'll be with them to play and take care of them so that you can be stress free.

I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and full availability on weekends. I am able to put all of my focus on my furry friends.

About: My name is Mel, I work part-time as a crew lead for a small landcare company in town and am currently seeking other fun, creative ways to fill up my schedule. I'm new to the Rover app but not to pet care. Please see photos from my House Sitting account of my reviews from that app :) Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and have a deep respect for animals of all kinds and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I bring calm, compassionate energy to every animal I care for. With a lifetime of experience, I’m most familiar with dogs but also comfortable with cats, birds, fish, and even farm animals like goats, sheep, miniature horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more. I understand that each animal has their own personality and needs, and I always meet them with patience, kindness, and respect. Whether you’re looking for someone to take your dog on a peaceful walk, a brisk trail hike or need a reliable presence at home while you’re away, I’d love to help care for your beloved companions. Please feel free to contact me if what I have to offer is in alignment with your needs. I’m currently have open availability, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pup needs a gentle walk, your cat needs a cuddle and a check-in, or your animals need loving care while you're away, I’d be happy to help keep them comfortable and cared for. When it comes to entering your home I like to make sure myself and your pet have an initial meet and greet to get used to me coming by. I know how important it can be for some animals to become familiar with strangers in the home and I want to make sure both pet and owner are comfortable with this. I can appreciate kind, clear communication when it comes to you and your pets needs. I'm happy to accommodate any specific care requests.
“Emma is great with our puppy! We come home to a happy, well-exercised (mentally and physically) pup at the end of our days and couldn’t be happier. Emma is great with communication and sends me great photos which really make my day! Our pups love her, and we love the peace of mind her visits provide.”
About: I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and for the past 10 years have been dog-mom to a special Blue Heeler/Husky. My dog was a very anxious and energetic soul, and I worked closely with trainers over many years to meet his needs and provide him the best home. I have worked with several specialized trainers and learned a lot about dog behaviour and needs. I am a very fit person, and have no trouble with taking dogs for long hikes or runs. I currently work-from-home, and have a lot of flexibility to care for pets. An important note is that I have a 5 year old at home as well, so any pets in my care at my house will need to be friendly with kids. I work from home, and have daytime and evening availability to care for pets. I also do a lot of volunteering in the community. Availability depends on what other responsibilities I have been booked in for in any given week. Advanced requests for care are best. My home has a fenced in backyard, and indoors there are baby gates that can keep pets off the stairs if needed. I have a crate in my home if needed. I am available to take dogs for walks from their homes within Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge.
About: I currently live in Cambridge and work at an animal hospital in Waterloo. I have 15 years of experience caring for cats and dogs working at a couple of veterinary clinics and boarding kennels, and pet sitting in people's homes. As well as also having my own dog for 10 years. I can provide excellent, fun and loving care for your pet(s). I have experience with raw diets, looking after cats and various dog breeds/sizes, administrating medications and I'm also certified in pet first aid. I would provide your pets with lots of excercise such as long walks and plenty of cuddles! I hope that you choose and trust in me to take great care of your pets while you are away! I’m able to do drop ins and check on your fur baby during the day, as well as take dogs on lengthy walks around the neighbourhood Make sure that they are happy and healthy. Having water, meals and medication if required. Play time to make sure that they are stimulated and happy
“Reliable, kind, and caring, I felt at ease knowing our family member (dog) was in such good hands. Our boy has a lot of personality and big emotions, and Lisa was patient and attentive to his needs. We’re grateful for the care she gave him and would happily recommend her! We loved the photos she sent on each walk/vist.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Cambridge is $20

Kleio has been a great addition to Keo’s life, he looks forward to every walk that he goes on with her. She updates us on how keo is doing on walks including training, and how well he is on listening to commands. She also lets us know if there are any concerns, plus she sends us lots of pictures :) She communicates with us perfectly and we are glad to have her as our dog walker!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Elysha took Collette for a full hour-long walk and even took the time to give one of the cats some pets when she came out to say hello! 🐾 You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure everyone gets a little love. We really appreciated the care and attention she showed both of my fur babies and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners! ❤️
Sierra showed up right on time and gave Lola a great walk each day that we were gone. It was so reassuring to know she was getting what she needed while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Sierra as both a dog walker and a dog sitter. She’s been great for Lola.
This was our first time using Rover for our dog Freddie! Kendra had amazing reviews which drew us to her. We met up with her prior to booking and Freddie loved her! Kendra has been very prompt with replies and sent updates from her walks. We look forward to having her walk Freddie on a regular basis.
I have two skeptical miniature Australian shepherds that Adam very quickly won over on their walks. He is reliable and very good with dogs. He clearly loves them and enjoys his work with them. I would recommend Adam to anyone looking for a good dog walker! I trust him with my dogs and coming and going from my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Cambridge is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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 2,140 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Cambridge. About 87% of Cambridge 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 Cambridge. 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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!
