“Greer has been walking Scamp for a while now and she has been amazing!! Always on time and leaves us a rover card with his walk route, pictures, and number of pees/poops. When it was too hot for her to complete an hour walk she came back the next day to make up the time which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals, big, small, young and old. I have experience taking care of different types of dogs and would love to care for yours! I work 9-5 Monday to Friday but I could do evenings and weekends. As well as the occasional lunch hour if the pet is in my area. My prices are flexible depending on what your pet needs and the length of time. I can top up your animals food and water/ clean water bowls. Play with them, take them for a walk or whatever you and your pet needs!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, as I grew up with a dog and have always been around animals. About a year ago, I got my own dog, and recently added a puppy to my family as well. This has given me experience caring for dogs at different stages of life and understanding their individual needs. I’m familiar with daily feeding schedules, fresh water, regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, basic training, and keeping dogs on a consistent routine. Having a puppy has also taught me the importance of patience, supervision, positive reinforcement, and helping them adjust to new environments. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I always make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, care, and affection. I would treat your pet with the same love and care that I give my own! Pet care is already part of my daily routine with my two dogs. I'm flexible, organized, and happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and visits. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort, follow all owner instructions, maintain their routines, supervise the pets closely, and provide regular updates throughout every visit !

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I'm an RN, and on my days off I'm taking my dog on hiking adventures, we'd love to bring your pup along :) My availability is variable. I do work full time as a nurse, but I'll have several days off in a row and would be happy to help care for your pup on my days off. I can take your dog out as often or as little as needed. I do not have a yard but I will take your dog for frequent outings, hikes, and walks. I am happy to provide your pup with their scheduled medication if they are on any. I work full time but as a nurse so on days off I am happy to bring your dog into my home and on our usual hikes/walks/plays. My hours are variable and I work shift work so my schedule may not always align with your needs, but I am quick to respond so feel free to shoot me a message! I have a dog hammock in the back seat of my vehicle with seat belts that attach to dog's collars. I also would be able to fit a medium-large crate in the back of my vehicle, although perhaps not a giant crate. I could take the dogs in the vehicle to get out to stretch their legs in nature. I am experienced in the removal of ticks and if your dog happened to get a tick. I am a nurse so my schedule is variable. I try to keep my calendar updated. I will be free some weekends, and free some weekdays, just ask! We are very flexible. Rossi is a friendly girl (my dog) who can either join for your dog’s walk or stay home, depending on what you need. If you need a drop in visit Rossi will stay at home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, administering oral medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind :) I’m currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. I always do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I keep a clean, secure environment, pay close attention during walks, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands.

About: I have been professionally working with dogs and cats for about 3 years in well known dog & cat daycare & boarding services. I currently work full time in a dog daycare but would like to build my own business within the animal care space. I've looked after all kinds of cats and dogs over the years including any needing meds or special attention. I'm currently working full time with dogs and would love to start dog walking in my spare time (yes I love dogs that much). I finish work early on Wednesdays and Thursdays and I'm also available on the weekends. I'm confident we can find something that suits both of our schedules. I have a cat in my home and she doesn't like other animals so all pet care would have to be in your home as I don't want to stress her out.

About: I’m the kind of pet sitter who will probably spoil your pet a little — okay, maybe a lot! 🐾 I have two dogs of my own, so I understand that pets aren’t “just pets”; they’re family. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with energetic pups, cuddly companions, and senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they get all the belly rubs and cuddles they’re used to. My goal is for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back! I’m retired, so I’m home most days and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I have a very flexible schedule and can give them the attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I’m not rushing off to work, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for walks and play. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs. If caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cole Harbour

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cole Harbour is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $41 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 471 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Cole Harbour. About 81% of Cole Harbour 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 Cole Harbour. 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 Cole Harbour 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 Cole Harbour 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 Cole Harbour 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!
