About: I have owned or cared for all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, horses and had a pet Vervet monkey, a bush-baby, and a mongoose while living in Tanzania! These exotic pets were pretty special, but not the sort of pet I expect to see in Toronto. I have trained many dogs over the years and will reinforce your training regime while your dog is in my care. I love the outdoors, in all seasons. If you live nearby or your dog is staying over, I look forward to sharing the trails of Taylor Creek Park with them! I am semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. I’m happy to offer overnight boarding in my home or pet sitting in your home. I have a ravine close by for nice long dog walks and able to provide the exercise routine your pet is used to. My apartment is in a converted house with a private entrance. I live within walking distance of parks and the Taylor Creek ravine. In your home, I am a responsible, caring, experienced pet owner who respects both pets and owners alike. I have completed a course in Pet First Aid and CPR.

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for various dog breeds. Caring for animals has been my passion since I was a child. I am skilled in providing basic dog training, including proper leash walking, commands like sit, stay, come, and paw, as well as teaching dogs not to jump up. Additionally, I have experience caring for senior dogs with specific requirements. I have a medium-sized, super-friendly, and playful male dog named Zeus who loves to make new friends! He’ll be there to keep your pet entertained and have a great time together! I currently work as a dog groomer three days a week, a job I truly love and have been doing for a few years now. This shorter workweek allows me the flexibility to handle boarding, pick-ups, drop-offs, and pet care drop-ins, while also being at home to care for the pets I am boarding. I have a dog-safe apartment and a friendly, active dog who will keep your pet entertained and comfortable. Additionally, I have a crate available should it be necessary. Your dog will receive attentive care during their stay.
“Gloria has done a wonderful job in working with my dynamic and constantly changing schedule. She responds quickly and provides great updates on how the walk went. She also puts in great effort in understanding your dog’s personality, wants and needs. I highly recommend Gloria and I look forward to continue working with her in the future.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, and I’ve never gone through life without having a furry companion by my side. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I started pet sitting and walking dogs as a kid, and I’ve continued doing it for friends, family, and neighbours ever since. I’ve also volunteered with dog rescue organizations, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful Huskies to loyal Pit Bulls. Every dog has their own unique spirit, and I love earning their trust and helping them feel safe, happy, and loved. When your dog is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether we’re out for a fun walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how much our fur babies mean to us, and I promise to care for yours as if they were my own. Hi, I’m Glenn! I work remotely as an Executive Creative Director, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I can give them the attention they deserve. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for cats for many years. I started pet sitting and dog walking as a kid and have continued looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbours ever since. I’ve also volunteered with dog rescue organizations and have experience with breeds of all sizes and personalities, including Huskies and Pit Bulls. I treat every pet like family and understand how important they are. My goal is to make sure your dog or cat feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and follow their normal routine. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, lots of love and attention, and a calm, caring presence while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home tidy, follow any special instructions, administer medication if needed, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability & patience. I carefully follow care instructions, respect each pet’s routine, and make sure owners stay updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home Tuesdays - Fridays which means I am available during these days and weekends to play/care for your pets and ensure the safety of your animals! I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel comfortable in their environment. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes and playtime based on each pet’s personality. I can keep owners updated with photos and messages. I always respect the home and carefully follow any instructions provided.
“Carolina is really great all around. Her communication with us when planning Banjo's walks was fantastic and our dog, Banjo, took a quick liking to her. Booking Carolina to walk Banjo has given me such piece of mind. We will be booking Carolina on a regular basis!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for just about half my life, since I was 15 years old! I still care for my senior dog and have learnt so much as we’ve grown together over the years. She is still strong and energetic, and will be around for a long time to keep your pups company during their stays! I have also had experience sitting for others. I have experience with dogs at different age-stages, experience administering medication, caring for a sick pup, and senior care. I work part-time from home, so will be able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your fur baby! I am also a home-body, so can provide continuous care with little-to-no time away. I have a small 15-year old fur baby myself, who will probably provide more fun company than I can! She is still playful in her seniority, and grew up with a sibling who kept her on her toes for most of her life. She will be a wonderful playmate for your small doggos. Our neighbourhood is safe, relatively quiet, and near a park. I am very vigilant while on walks and in parks, so safety is always a priority.
“Sarah has walked my dog Kima a couple of times now and I would definitely recommend her! Sarah is super punctual and Kima warmed to her immediately. Kima can be a handful on some walks (pulls at other dogs and bikes) and Sarah handles her really well. Thank you!”
“Camilla has been walking Tobby twice a week since January 7th, and she’s been an absolute lifesaver! With work keeping me busy, I was struggling to keep up with Tobby’s daily walks, but Camilla swooped in and made everything so much easier. Tobby, being his usual curious and bossy self, has found the perfect walking buddy in her. Camilla sends the cutest photos of him during their walks—whether he’s sniffing everything in sight or striking his signature “I own this place” pose. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such great hands and getting the care he needs. Camilla is beyond reliable, kind, and so attentive to Tobby’s needs. If you’re looking for someone amazing to care for your dog, stop looking—Camilla is IT. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Charlie is wonderful dog walker. Mickey, our goldendoodle gets very excited when Charlie picks him up for his walk. I recently broke my ankle and Charlie came over for a meet and greet. It was love at first sight with Mickey. Thank you Charlie. We are so grateful for your services.”
About: Since a kid I’ve had many pets in my life, they have a special place in my heart. I have over 10 years of personal pet ownership, and currently have a 2 cats. I have over 4 years of experience fostering complex medical needs from puppies, older dogs and kittens. I’ve fostered complex medical care animals for over 7 years. From bottle feeding new born kittens, to a palliative care dog to a blind bearded dragon! I’m comfortable with young, full of energy puppies/kitten to a senior who just wants to snooze. I’m experienced with medically complex pets who need some extra TLC, medication, and patience. I also have experience handling small mammals, birds and reptiles so exotics are also welcomed 😊 I am quite flexible! I can adjust for early mornings, late at night or somewhere in between. I am happy to provide a one time service or something ongoing. Your pet will be my centre, and I ensure that whatever routine they need will be followed to keep anxiety low and comfort high. If they need a bit of decompression, I’ll keep my eye on them but leave space. If they need to be Velcroed to me, I’ll be clinging next to them. I want their experience with me to best match what they are use to. I’m comfortable adjusting approaches as needed and think flexibly in my care is key! I want to work with you to ensure your pet builds trust with me as well as you.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East York
Glenn was great with our boy Maverick. Maverick was very well looked after and had lots of fun. Glenn took Maverick a walk and played with him in the garden and gave him his dinner We received lots of lovely pictures , videos and updates regularly. Thank you and we will definitely book again.
We hired Marco for a temporary period after I broke my ankle. We are so protective of our pups, and found the best walker EVER to take some of the pressure off our household during this stressful time. Not only did Marco treat our babies as if they were his own, he put ME at ease knowing that they loved him just as much. Always friendly, we found him to be reliable, punctual and trustworthy. Yes, Five stars....because there aren't six!
Michael has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Rex. From the very beginning, he has been kind, reliable, flexible, and incredibly easy to work with. He has always been accommodating with scheduling and has even gone beyond the scheduled 1-hour walks when needed, which I truly appreciated. Rex is a large, energetic dog, and Michael handles him with confidence and care. It’s clear that he genuinely enjoys spending time with Rex, and Rex absolutely loves his walks. Knowing that Rex was in such good hands always gave me peace of mind. Michael is professional and trustworthy. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about the dogs he walks and treats them like his own, I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you, Michael, for taking such great care of Rex. We wish you all the best!
Such a smooth and easy setup from meet and greet to our first walk. Radhika has a high interest in making sure every dog is taken care of to the highest quality. Appreciate having someone who loves dogs and will always keep the owners views to the forefront of the walking or boarding process.
Kiara was an absolute pleasure to work with.. she is attentive and very personable. She asked many questions about my fur baby Jazzy , toensure she could attend to her every need. She worked very well with Jazzy ( a 90 lb lab who is reactive to other dogs). I highly recommend her services. 😊😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in East York on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 7,235 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in East York. About 86% of East York 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 East York. 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in East York.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 East York 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 East York 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
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
