“Abhay was fantastic! He asked very detailed and specific questions at the initial meeting which left us feeling confident that he would treat our pup with the upmost care. Abhay’s reports were also filled with a great amount of detail and pictures so we were informed of everything throughout. Will certainly seek to rely on Abhay’s services again in the future.”
“Scott has been an excellent walker for Milo! We really needed some extra support for a few weeks and were glad to be able to rely on an experienced dog walker in the neighborhood. We also appreciated his flexibility to accomodate our needs and schedules. Scott took our pup on nice long walks, which gave him tons of exercise, and he greatly enjoyed playing with the other friendly dogs on shared walks. The tail wag says it all - thank you!”

I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about Setayesh! She is an absolute angel, and I honestly don’t know what we’d do without her. ❤️ The care, kindness, and attention she gives Zorro go so far beyond simply taking him for walks. It’s all the little things she does without ever being asked - playing and snuggling with him, making sure his water bowl is washed and filled, and even folding the throw blankets on the couch that I never seem to have time to get to! She is incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it’s so obvious that she treats Zorro with love. Knowing he’s in such wonderful hands gives me more peace of mind than I can possibly express. We are so incredibly lucky to have found her, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Julia has been wonderful with my beagle! She is incredibly patient and caring, and my dog felt comfortable with her from day one. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in good hands with someone who takes the time to make her feel safe and happy. We’re so happy to have found Julia and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Kadu was so amazing with my pup!!! I am so grateful to have found such a caring and trustworthy dog walker! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pup is in good hands. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a little extra help with their fur baby! 🐾🤍
Thanks again Heather! It's such a peace of mind having you help with walking Cosmo while I travel for work. Heather's been helping us walk Cosmo for a few years now. She's my go to dog walker. She's on time, great at taking pictures and posting them to the app and always provides updates.
Sergio and Luz started walking my dogs right after my senior dog injured his back - making their first week really challenging! Even so, they were professional the entire time and sent me detailed updates to let me know how my dogs were doing. They made me feel so much better; I highly recommend them.
Scott has been an excellent walker for Milo! We really needed some extra support for a few weeks and were glad to be able to rely on an experienced dog walker in the neighborhood. We also appreciated his flexibility to accomodate our needs and schedules. Scott took our pup on nice long walks, which gave him tons of exercise, and he greatly enjoyed playing with the other friendly dogs on shared walks. The tail wag says it all - thank you!
Brenda was amazing with my dog, took him on a long walk that tired him out for the rest of the day. She took the time to do tricks with him and give him some loving which is much appreciated. She also took amazing photos and was quick to respond with everything
Abhay gave us a feeling of comfort and trust from the get go. Very punctual, professional and clear in his communication, with a positive attitude. Our dog and cat became fast friends with him and Hero enjoyed his walks with Abhay. We will definitely think of him next time, and highly recommend his services. Thanks Abhay!
Sarah was extremely professional and very communicative! We had an outstanding experience with Sarah and recommend her services very highly! She was on time, walked our dog for the specified time even in inclement weather and was a pleasure to work with. Book her for your pet needs!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Etobicoke
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Etobicoke is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 7,617 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Etobicoke. About 86% of Etobicoke 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 Etobicoke. 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 Etobicoke 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 Etobicoke 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 Etobicoke 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!
