“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!”
“Naomi’s been wonderful and so patient with our puppy who’s nervous to walk along busy roads. Within a couple days she’s gotten him to feel comfortable and even got him down the street to a park, which was a goal we discussed prior. She was keen to discuss how she can best care for moose, and has gone above and beyond expectations. Very happy to have found her!”
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.

About: Hi, I’m Mel! Animals have been a huge part of both my professional and personal life for as long as I can remember. I currently work at a pet boarding facility where I care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities and energy levels. Every day has taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pets individual needs, read their body language, and help them feel comfortable and safe while in my care. Before that, I worked as an Assistant Manager at a pet store for nearly three years, where I gained extensive knowledge of pet care, nutrition and customer education. I’ve also enjoyed participating in pet-centred community events, including rescue and adoption focused events, which has allowed me to connect with even more animals and pet owners. I’m also the proud pet parent of Moo, my rescue Border Collie mix. Moo has been working on building his confidence around other dogs and fast moving things like bikes and scooters, and I’ve spent years working alongside his trainer to support his progress. That experience has taught me so much about patience, recognizing triggers, positive reinforcement, and meeting dogs where they’re at. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I’d love to learn all about their routines, quirks, favourite treats and anything that helps them feel happiest. My goal is to make every visit feel safe, fun and tailored to your pet as an individual. I work rotating shifts, so my availability varies from day to day. I’m always happy to coordinate schedules ahead of time and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention before and after my shifts. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I work at a pet boarding facility, so I’m around dogs and cats regularly. My schedule varies because I work rotating shifts, but I’m happy to coordinate walks and visits around my schedule and your pet’s routine. I currently offer care in your home, where I can keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I have reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel to your home for scheduled overnights, walks and drop-in visits!
About: I have always been around animals, throughout my entire life. I have dog sit and walked a variety of dogs, from Chihuahuas to American Bullies. I have a lot of energy to play with energetic dogs, and am very patient. I love to be organized and keep note of everything I need to properly take care of your pet, as well as stay attentive to keep them safe. I am currently in university, however my hours are flexible and only fall on two days. Either way we can work around with what you need and I am very lenient. I believe that different pets require different needs, and I would like to provide a comfortable and safe environment. This includes: Frequent walks and potty breaks, time to play, food and dietary needs, medication necessities, and if your animal likes affection, I would more than welcome that.
About: I've had pets all my life, I love them as part of my family! At the moment me and the kiddos have 2 dogs and a puppy, all rescues, that we love! I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. Im available before or after work or anytime nights, on my days off or weekends! I have a genuine love for pets (have 2 cats and a puppy myself) so I know how important it is to have peace of mind and that they are taken care of when we are away. Will try my very best
“Another great week in the books using Alaa! This morning I forgot I didn't book a walk for my pup pickle and she was crying and giving me the eyes saying where's my man to go on an adventure? Seriously cannot recommend Alaa enough!”

About: I have a lifelong love for pets! I grew up caring for dogs and currently look after my own 13-year-old Ragdoll cat.

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 had my pug/shih-tzu Alvin since he was 13 weeks old and he turned 17 y/o this past March. I’m a careful, cautious pet owner and struggle letting anyone care for my dog, so I understand being nervous or wanting to make sure your fur-baby is safe. I’m comfortable with all sized dogs and I’m not afraid of “scary” breeds. My cat Mack, recently passed away, he was 19 y/o and I adopted him 15 years ago. Although I am allergic to cats, I would be willing to drop-in to homes with cats as well. I’m just looking to earn some extra income, while getting to spend time with some furry friends! I’m a self-employed Pilates instructor with a small private studio and in-home clients in various parts of the High Park/ Bloor West Village/ The Kingsway area and South Etobicoke. My schedule is flexible and varied, I drive also, so I have freedom to work with your pet care needs. I understand life comes up, so same day cancellations are allowed. However, 48 hour booking notice is needed to confirm my schedule. My dog comes with me as much as possible, especially since the loss of his cat brother. That said, I will not intrude on your home with him or bring him for walks if your dog doesn’t like other dogs or requires more one-on-one care, more exercise or they just don’t get along. You’re hiring me to care for your pet and that will be my priority during that time, including your preferences and requirements.
About: There is nothing more purposeful than spending one’s effort with a friend, a real friend. I’ve been a human for any dog that needs a human since I was 7 (even though mom approved my love for friends-dogs, much later) I’m a human to Kourage (my golden retriever) who loves to play ball and say hi to every dog or human he sees. I’m working from home so will always have an eye on our babies, in addition Kourage’s routine is scheduled, so walks, poops, pees and food is on time. Weekends I’m available all throughout. I have a well setup place for Kourage (my golden retriever) that can accomodate your baby easily and with comfort. Kourage is good company and there are plenty dog parks near us (both off-leash and leashed). So be assured that your baby would be well taken care of.
“Brenda has been an amazing walker for my highly reactive dog. She sends lots of pictures and you could easily see how happy and relaxed my dog is! Would recommend her services to everyone!”
About: Hi! I’m Tara 😊 I live in Etobicoke with my husband and our 2.5-year-old Golden Retriever, Hudson. We both work from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and we’re also close to great walking trails for daily exercise. Hudson is very friendly and loves other dogs, but he’s still young and can be quite playful and excitable. Because of this, we’re best suited for dogs who enjoy playtime and socializing. We always arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good match. We’ll treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away 🤍 I work from home and have a fenced garden - I also have loads of trails around me (Riddlesdown Common)! I love walking, so will take your dog on a morning, lunchtime and evening walk. I’m really attentive with all animals that are in my care. I also have a fenced garden, so I’m able to let your dog outside for fresh air knowing that he or she is secure!

We’ve had a great experience with Scott as our dog walker! Our 2 year old vizsla absolutely loved him from the jump and is eager to get walking every time Scott picks him up — which is the best possible sign for an owner. Scott makes himself available on short notice, is flexible, reliable and communication has been 10/10. Would highly recommend.
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!
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!
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!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Etobicoke on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 7,534 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Etobicoke. About 87% 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.

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:

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.
