About: I have been a loving pet owner since I was a child. Recently I have enjoyed dog sitting for friends and family. Love doing it. I'm semi retired and looking to fill in some time during the day. I'm reliable and would enjoy the outside exercise. I've owned both big and small dogs. . I do have a fenced in yard with a sliding door access. I currently do not have any animals so I can give your dog complete attention.
About: Ive been a dog lover since i was a kid. My first dog was a golden retriever that was the friendliest thing in the world and the embodiment of me in a dog. He gave me lots of experience handling large dogs, needy dogs and dogs prone to health issues. I'm capable of taking dogs on as long of a walk as needed. Providing care during hot and cold weather to protect them. If i am doing walking services i will make sure your pupper is well walked, home safe, hydrated and happy before i leave. I can also brush them, wash them and brush there teeth and clean there ears as needed. I live in a large apartment with easy access to greenery, lots of parks and trails as well as a dog park if you feel your dog is comfortable around other dogs. Can handle more reactive dogs or once that don’t handle other dogs well. I am available almost every day the whole day for boarding or walks. Currently on summer break from college so I have lots of free time, schedule will change accordingly in September when I get my schedule I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a strong physical body capable of handle most large dogs and speedy little dogs too. I am gentle with all dogs especially senior ones, always provided them with unlimited love. My home is pet friendly, I live in a small apartment building with friendly neighbours, either me or my partner are around the home to help when needed
“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!”
“We would highly recommend Naomi! Naomi had been walking our new rescue dog for weeks. Despite his high energy, she's been so good with him, keeping us in the loop on what happened during the walk, giving us tips and helping us find a better harness for him. Her dog knowledge is exceptional! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Naomi for your pet 🙂”
About: I’ve cared for pets for practically my whole life, and I’ve loved them just as long! I have a dog at home, and I have work experience at a stables, providing care to a variety of animals including cats. I will ensure that your fur babies are safe and loved, and I’m very excited to meet them! I am a University of Guelph student that is home for the summer. I have a flexible schedule that can readily fit in walks and cater to your pets needs! Your pet will receive lots of love and attention as well as their unique needs catered to. Pets in my care will always feel safe and welcomed, and I am happy to provide any care they need.
“Emily is amazing with our anxious reactive dog. He typically takes awhile to warm up to new people but he liked Emily right from our first meet and greet. She has calm, positive energy. She is super responsive and sends lots of notes and pictures that assure us that he is in good hands.”
“Laura has really gove above and beyond to form.a connection with my reactive dog. She came in patiently and confidently, and my little guy warmed up to her faster than anyone else he has met.”
“Been working with Alaa for a few weeks now and my dog, Pickle, absolutely loves their walks! She is even much better on our walks together and pulling less. Alaa is fantastic, trustworthy, and really goes out of his way to make the time worth while for the dog!”
About: Dogs bring so much joy wherever they go, and I've always wanted to own one. Alas, I haven't gotten the priviledge. But I've always had a big interest in them, and have done my research on their body language and training techniques. My aunts have a lot of dogs, and they taught me how to care for them. They will be in good hands! I'm a morning person with a lot of free time, so I should be able to care for your pet up to the evening if necessary. I'm unavailable on Tuesdays and Sundays. If any event comes up during the week and I become unavailable, I will be upfront about it. Of course, as I will not be staying at my own house, I will treat the property with respect, and your pet will too! Dogs will be given consistent walks at least 2-3 times a day. Cats will have play time and a clean litter box. I will pay attention to your pet's mood and body language, and ensure they have a comfortable time under my care. I bring a calm composure that most pets are attracted to.
About: Hello furry families! my name is Sofia, and I’m a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and creating a safe, loving environment for them while their owners are away. I offer a range of pet-sitting services, including feeding, fresh water refills, walks, playtime, companionship, litter box or clean-ups, and I am always happy to follow any specific routines or care instructions provided by you. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to maintain their normal schedules and comfort levels. I have experience caring for animals in both home and shelter environments. I’ve worked at animal shelters, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, enrichment activities, and helping animals feel calm and secure. In addition, I’ve regularly cared for pets belonging to family members and friends, providing daily walks, playtime, and general care. These experiences have helped me become attentive to different pet personalities, energy levels, and individual needs. I am patient, responsible, and observant, and I take pride in making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building trust with them, whether that means energetic play or quiet companionship. In terms of availability, I currently have flexible availability and can dedicate quality time and attention to pets throughout the day, as well as nights if needed they can stay with me. This allows me to be reliable with visits, walks, and extended care, and to adjust to each pet’s needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands. I have open availability, for both mornings and nights! I understand each family is different therefore I’m flexible to accommodate time for the furry friends. Depending on your schedule we could arrange occasional care or consistent full-time care. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I make sure all harmful items are secured, windows and doors are safe, and pets have a quiet space to relax. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, play, and rest, to help them feel at ease. I keep their area clean, monitor their behavior and well-being, and make sure they feel cared for, safe, and comfortable throughout their stay.

About: I've grown up around animals from dogs, cats and cows, pretty much a lover of all animals! I was also foster parent with Toronto Humane Society and have had two foster dogs during the pandemic. Both were medium/large dogs and one had a variety of health/medical needs. I love caring for animals, whether that was on my families farm were we have a lot of dogs, cats, cows and chickens or within my city bubble taking care of foster dogs that need a shelter break and some love. I have a fenced yard but also lovely trails nearby if you are in my area or would need to do overnights. I have crate trained previous dogs before as well. I currently work freelance for the month of May so my schedule can change last minute, I will update my calendar as I find out. I take care of my mom's dog once in awhile so during that time I do not accept other pets. only walks. I work currently freelance so my schedule is pretty flexible and have time to look after your pet, I'd love the company! Please message to see if my schedule can work for us.

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.
I absolutely recommend Setayesh as a dog walker! Zorro loves their walks 3 times a week so very much & I love how well she communicates - the updates/pictures/videos she sends are BEYOND appreciated. I am so thankful to know that she’s there to walk my pup while I’m at work 😊😊 she cares for him as if he were her own dog and it just means so much!
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.
We had such a wonderful experience with Michaela while she watched our dog for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring the entire time. She kept us updated regularly with messages and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated how attentive and trustworthy she was, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michaela to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker or pet sitter!
This is the first time I have ever left Charlie with a "stranger". Scott has been amazing! No longer a stronger to our family! Charlie is so so happy when he great her. Lots of love and kisses. Scott you put my mind at ease and I am grateful to have met you! 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!
Dilara was super nice and incredible with my dog. Specially because my father in laws doesn’t speak English and she made the impossible to communicate with them. Also, she was very puntual with time and helpfully with my dog. Every time that she walks my dog, she keep me posted and informed. I would book one more time again!
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!
I can’t say enough good things about Isabella! From our very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats every dog like her own. Isabella has been consistently punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond for my puppy. She always keeps me updated during visits with photos and thoughtful updates. I highly recommend Isabella for all your pet care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Etobicoke on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 7,491 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 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 Etobicoke.

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.
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 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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
