“Vivian is wonderful! She arranged a ‘meet and greet’ with our golden before walking her, which we really appreciated and was incredibly quick to reply. She sent lots of sweet updates/photos and our golden really loves her. We hope to continue to book her future!”
“They were great with our high energy large mutt! Always put his interests first and tried to take him to different spots he may like. He really seemed to enjoy his time out with them and they were very caring and communicative, with lots of pictures and always showed up to take him out. Was great experience and lovely people! Thank you 😊”
“Super grateful that he was able to accept my last-minute request when an unexpected business meeting came up. He was very communicative and shared lots of details and updates throughout the walk, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with him again when needed.”
“I have an 80lb reactive dog and have been nervous in the past when setting up dog care while I'm working. Sarah-Beth has made this an easy transition and earned mine and my dog's trust immediately. I have zero concern when she takes her for walks or interacts with her at all. 11/10 would recommend.”
About: I have a diploma in Animal Sciences, worked at the Humane Society and have had dogs/pets all my life. Currently have 2 senior cats who love other animals and love to play. I am a fun, loving person and I have a lot of free time and I am also available on weekends. If your dog is currently going through some training I would be happy to work on that while I have him/her. There is a yard and grassy areas around my apartment and would have tons of space to play outside. I also live near dog parks. I like bigger breeds such as huskies and German Shepard’s so size of your dog is not an issue.
About: I am a responsible and passionate pet lover with hands-on experience caring for and walking dogs of all sizes. I focus on safety, fun, and reliable routines tailored to your pup's needs. You can count on great care, clear communication, and timely updates. I have a flexible schedule every day starting at 1:00 PM. I am punctual, reliable, and ready to provide afternoon dog walks for your pet. Safety is my top priority. I keep dogs securely leashed, stay alert during walks, and follow your home instructions carefully. I treat your home with total respect and provide clear updates.
“Belle provided exceptional care for our active dog while we were out of the country for 3 weeks. She took her for walks each morning and evening, administered medication, and provided frequent and detailed updates. Belle is a wonderful person, and we are consistently impressed with the quality of care and education she provides to our four-legged family member. We will certainly use her services again!”
About: Growing up in the country I had many different pets, that I loved and cared for. I got my first job at Pet Value, helping take care of the cats as well as helping with there adoption events. I now live with my 3 cats, and unfortunately had to leave behind Bentley and Tessa. So now with a new job, and a new home, I’m looking to fill my spare time with extra cuddles and walks. I do work full time but I work nights. So I’m looking to do more day time walks. This can be anywhere from 9am-3pm. I also have my own transportation so distance isn’t an issue for me. I will follow your instructions about your pets care/needs. This means bringing along fresh water and a bowl to stay hydrated on walks, bringing treats for rewards (ones that are approved by owned) as well as send you cute photos and updates on how the walks went
About: I have grown up with pets all of my life. On top of being a pet parent to my own reactive dog, I fostered dogs for 5 years, have worked in a dog kennel, and assisted with a pet food bank. I am a student and I work part time with a very routine schedule. My schedule thurs-sun is very free and I am always willing to see if I can fit you into my schedule. I will defer to owners requirements and requests at all time! Dogs will remained on leash when on walks, and all needs will be attended to
“We are so very thankful that we found Sonia to care for our dogs when we’re at work. Her and her husband have truly lifted a weight from our shoulders! They are always on time and the dogs are happy to see them. Highly recommend booking with her!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by a wide range of animals. I currently live with my dog, Hank, and two cats, Nora and Ted. I have had my dog, Hank since he was a puppy. He is now 12 years old. I am well versed in senior care. I had my cat, Charlie for 18 years, giving him medication daily to manage his high-blood pressure. Sadly, I said good-bye to Charlie three years ago. It was one of the hardest things I had to do. I have genuine love and care for senior animals after his passing. I work full time as a teacher. I am usually busy Monday-Friday during the day. However, my partner works from home. With teaching I also have a very flexible schedule when it comes to holidays and weekends! My home has a large yard. There will be plenty of walks and opportunities for play. I take my dog for 3 walks throughout the day, often spending more than two hours outside with him. I make sure my animals are mentally stimulated by providing them with puzzle toys, and engaging with them in play.
“Ella is a great walking companion for our husky Sulley! She was there when we needed some extra help in a pinch and it helps that she's right in our neighbourhood! Ella definitely has a love for animals and I would definitely book her services again!”
About: I've always loved dogs and really enjoy spending time with them, whether it's going for a good walk, playing, or just keeping them company. As a physician, I'm responsible, dependable, attentive to details, and very comfortable following specific care instructions. I'm not doing Rover as a full-time job—I simply miss having dogs around and thought this would be a great way to get some dog time while helping owners nearby. I'll treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd want someone to give my own. I work as a physician with a variable schedule, which gives me regular days off during the week. On my days off, I’m happy to spend some of that time walking or playing with your dog. I keep my Rover availability updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. During walks, I’ll keep your dog securely leashed and pay close attention to their behaviour and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I’ll respect your home and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for before I leave.
About: I have been pet sitting friends pet for many years and i love it. Fur babies miss their owners when they are away so I provide a fun, loving, welcoming and nurturing away from home feeling. All fur babies have a huge heart, they are lovable and fun to be around. I have stayed at my friends house while they have gone on holidays. I take them to the dog park if there is one near by and always ask the owners how their pets are with other animals. It is very important to keep them safe and happy. I am an active, responsible, caring, friendly person who has owned pets in the past and really misses them. I love being around them :) : I am flexible with my time throughout the day as long as I get enough notice. I am available on weekends in addition could also be available during holidays. I will only allow a dog off leash once I have become familiar with the dog and it's owner's commands. I always respect other dog's walkers.

Vivian was absolutely wonderful with Mochi! ❤️ She took him for a lovely walk around the park and really took her time to let him enjoy his walk. She was so sweet, gentle, and loving toward him, and I truly appreciated the photo updates along the way. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mochi was in such caring hands. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and Mochi was so happy! 🐶💕 I would definitely recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving dog walker. We’re so happy we found her!
Yifei has been wonderful to work with! He came over for a “meet and greet” ahead of time to get to know us, and familiarize himself with our dog’s walking routine. He is quick to respond, incredibly approachable and our dog has been so happy when we return home!!
They were great with our high energy large mutt! Always put his interests first and tried to take him to different spots he may like. He really seemed to enjoy his time out with them and they were very caring and communicative, with lots of pictures and always showed up to take him out. Was great experience and lovely people! Thank you 😊
Aydan was a fantastic dog walker. My dog is a bit shy/anxious and Aydan really paid attention to what she needed, made sure she was comfortable, and shared little updates when my dog started to get more confident on walks. Aydan was reliable and communicated well. I would absolutely trust her to care for my dog again.
I'm so happy with Sal's services. I was out of town for a few days and my husband was working long hours, so we needed someone to come over and walk our dog. He did so right on time both days and even sent me a picture of my dog after the walk. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hand. Will definitely rebook in the future!
10/10 ❤️ First time using rover and I may have shed a tear watching my pup walk off with someone else on this beautiful day.. LOL. But, with some physical limitations I had to call in reinforcements (which clearly wasn’t easy for me). When they arrived home my dog was smiling so big, playing, being goofy and clearly just SO happy. I felt instantly better! She will now be walking him a few times a week. He now has a new friend and walking buddy. She has lovely energy ! (I also have a big German shepherd which can be a lot for some) so happy we have her to help out now! 🫶🏻
