“Melissa is amazing, my dog had the best time of his life. He was so exhausted everyday from so much playing. She also gave plenty of updates and was able to capture great photos of how happy he was in her care. Already planning our next booking! Thank you, it's clear you love what you do.”
About: Although I have not have had a cat of my own, I have cat sit for friends on numerous occasions whether it was for overnight or for a week. I love their feisty behaviours and they independence Since I am mostly home, I can take care and be around whenever they need attention and care. I will provide unconditional love and softness throughout the day and night. Unfortunately due to apartment building rules, I can only accept cats for pet sitting but I can be available for dog walking at owners house. I will provide play time, make sure they are satisfied with food and be wary of their environment. I will keep them happy by getting to learn their habits as well as use methods learned by their owners to promote good behaviours
About: About 5 years ago, my family and I added a new member to our family. My life changed ever since that day. I never knew love for animals could grow this big but here we are. I think every dog deserves this type of love and I am here to provide that. I’m currently working part-time and am not in school so my schedule is VERY flexible and free. I am also willing to make all necessary adjustments to please my clients. ☺️ I have a pup at home, so I am very used to that fur baby lifestyle. All equipment needed is required in my service apart from collars or harnesses due to different sizing for different doggies.
“My goodness, Maire is truly exceptional. I have a very energetic Bernedoodle puppy, and she handles her with such patience, and ease. Ru absolutely adores her, and so do I. I recently had an unexpected emergency, and Maire stepped in without hesitation to care for Ru in my absence. That kind of reliability and heart means everything. She has the calmest, sweetest spirit, and you can genuinely feel how much she loves animals. I cannot recommend Maire highly enough. She is a gift. 🐶✨”
About: I've shared my life with dogs and cats for more than 20 years and have experience caring for pets with unique needs. One of the experiences that shaped me most was fostering and adopting Beagles retired from pharmaceutical laboratory testing. These dogs often required extra patience, gentle handling, confidence-building, and close attention to their physical and emotional well-being. Because of this experience, I'm comfortable administering medications, following special diets, monitoring changes in behavior, and providing calm, attentive care for senior pets or animals who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new situations. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. As an entrepreneur currently building my own business, I have the flexibility to create my schedule around the needs of my clients and their pets. This allows me to be available for daytime visits, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and check-ins that can be challenging for those working a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I appreciate the opportunity to spend time with animals while helping their families travel or manage busy days with peace of mind. Since I provide care in your pet's home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and helping them feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household rules. Safety is always my first priority, from checking doors and gates to ensuring pets are secure on walks and monitored for any changes in behavior or well-being. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular updates while you're away.
About: I have grown up around animals all my life and approach my care with warmth, patience, and affection. I currently have a rescue lab retriever mix (heavy on the mix) and grew up with cats. I believe we can learn so much from animals and deeply appreciate taking the time to get to know each personality. I'm detail oriented and a reliable communicator, approaching each new pet with compassion and curiosity. I am a contract worker in the performing arts and so my schedule is very flexible. Currently I am typically am available each day between the hours of 7am and 9pm. I value safety and emotional well-being above all and so sticking to their regular routine is my is priority. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to adapt my routine with each of the pets I care for. I love playtime and cuddles and also understand that each pet has their boundaries and respect those always.
About: Raised and trained animals of all ages for 15 years while helping reactive and rescue dogs build confidence through patience, understanding, positive reinforcement, and compassionate, personalized care. I’m currently available all day Monday through Thursday for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and training sessions. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I work from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so I’m available for bookings after 7:00 p.m. on those days. If you have any questions about scheduling or need accommodations, feel free to reach out. I’ll do my best to work with you and your pet’s needs! I create a safe, clean, and stress-free environment where every pet receives patience, compassion, individualized attention, care they can always trust, gentle handling, and constant supervision, giving owners complete peace of mind every visit.

About: Hi, I’m Fiorella! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether it's going on long walks with dogs or keeping cats entertained. I’ve spent a lot of time helping friends with their pets, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. You can count on me to provide your furry friend with the attention and care they deserve while you're away. I’m excited to meet your pet and keep them in great spirits! Being in university allows me flexible scheduling, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and can accommodate various needs throughout the week. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential to me, and I maintain open communication to provide peace of mind
About: Hi! I've been an animal lover my whole life with a particular love for dogs. I've been caring for my friends' pets for years and then started getting requests from some of their friends, and since I love it and found myself in a position where I need to find some more work, I figured I'd make myself available to more fur babies! I'm really only interested in caring for dogs, though I do love cats too, but there are allergies to contend with. I'm without any animals living here, so your dog can get undivided and attention. I'm happy to have them stay here, take them on frequent walks, and I can offer to work on some basic training skills if you like. I'm also available to walk from your place or just do drop-ins to give them some love! If you need someone to care for and spend some time with your pup, let me know! I'm working on a flexible schedule and often work from home, so I can dedicate my time around the needs of your fur baby. We can discuss your specific needs and make sure it all works. I have no other pets to worry about. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I live in a quiet neighborhood with time for frequent walks. I'm happy to bring your pup to the dog park if you prefer but I typically prefer to take on frequent long walks (if they are able). And for socialization, I have friends with well socialized neutral non-reactive dogs in fenced in yards for playtime (if you like).
About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings. I’ve worked as a client care receptionist in animal hospitals, where I regularly interacted with pets of all temperaments, assisted with handling animals, checked pets in for surgery and wellness visits, and helped administer medications when needed. I’ve also worked at PetSmart and a grooming salon, where I cared for animals daily, assisted groomers, bathed and brushed dogs, monitored pet behavior, and ensured pets were safe, comfortable, and happy. Through these roles, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, handle pets calmly, and provide compassionate care—especially for nervous or senior animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I am an assistant basketball coach and have practices for 1–2 hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of those times, I am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. I occasionally have games on weekends, but I still maintain availability before and after games and will always communicate clearly in advance. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work around your pet’s routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and playtime. I always approach pets calmly and patiently, paying close attention to their body language and individual needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection based on what they’re comfortable with. With my experience working in animal hospitals and pet care settings, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, including shy, senior, or nervous animals, and administering medications when needed. I also respect your home by keeping things clean and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for.
About: I grew up around (minimum) 4 dogs my whole life and now would cherish the opportunity to care for your pet! I was heavily involved in the care and training of my pets and have taken various puppy training courses. I have gotten the chance to know lots of different furry friends - big and small- and am confident in my ability to care for all kinds of pets. I am a part-time student at McGill in my last year of study. I am finding myself with lots of free time and would love the opportunity to fill it up pet play time and walks! Thursday to Sunday is completely open and I never have obligations outside the home for more than 4 hours. I have access to a shared fenced yard outdoor space and I have a spare room that can fit any and all pet supplies. My home space is always tidy and organized as it is a reflection of me. Growing up with animals I understand the importance of clearing a room of potential dangers (left out food, toxic plants, etc).
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life — German Shepherds, an English Staffy, and cats over the years. Right now I have a 10-month-old kitten of my own, so I know the energy (and mischief) young pets bring. I work from home, which means your pet is never left alone during the day. I'm in an apartment with a large grassy area and parks nearby for dog walks, and I'm fully set up for cats. My two kids (3 and 6) are gentle and great with animals. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than around it. I'm here for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins throughout the day and evening, with flexibility on timing. Weekends are open too, and pets are never left alone for long stretches. In my home, pets stay in a calm apartment with a large grassy area and nearby parks for walks. I keep cats and dogs comfortable, watch feeding and litter or bathroom routines, and make sure everyone has their own space. Because I work from home, I can spot anything off early. In a client's home, I follow your routines closely and keep your space exactly as you left it.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Dorval is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per walk.

There are 1,912 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Dorval. About 83% of Dorval 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 Dorval. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Dorval 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 Dorval 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 Dorval 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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
