“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!”

“Sarah did an amazing job walking Canelo while I was out of town for a weekend. We met for a nice, short walk prior to my departure where she was able to walk Canelo around for a nice stroll. Not only was the walk successful, but I could tell Canelo felt comfortable off the bat. Thank you Sarah for making my first rover experience a memorable one—looking forward to leveraging your help in the future.”

About: With over 4 years of experience focused exclusively on small and medium breeds, I understand that "little" doesn't mean "low energy." Whether it's a spirited Frenchie or a sensitive Maltese, I specialize in the unique physical and emotional needs of dogs under 40 lbs. I provide a calm, controlled environment where smaller pups can feel confident and secure without the stress of being around larger, more boisterous dogs. As a dedicated pet sitter for small and medium breeds, my daily schedule is built around providing a stable, high-attention environment. I start my mornings with fresh water, breakfast, and a gentle walk or backyard playtime to get those little legs moving before I begin my remote work/daily tasks. Throughout the day, I incorporate frequent 'potty breaks' and short play sessions to keep energy levels balanced, ensuring that smaller pups never feel overwhelmed or lonely. Evenings are reserved for wind-down time and plenty of cuddles, mimicking the cozy home routine your pet is already used to." In My Home: A Safe Haven for Smaller Pups When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their 'home away from home.' I maintain a small-dog-friendly environment where I prioritize safety by keeping floors clear of hazards and ensuring all exits are secure. My routine is centered on supervised play and cozy rest areas, ensuring smaller breeds feel confident and relaxed without the stress of a crowded kennel environment." In Your Home: Maintaining the Comfort of Routine "For sittings in your home, my priority is minimizing stress by strictly following your pet's established habits. I stick to your specific feeding areas, walking routes, and 'potty' cues to keep their day predictable. Beyond basic care, I provide attentive companionship and detailed home security—bringing in mail or watering plants—so you can travel knowing both your pet and your property are in expert hands.

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!

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!
Heather's been helping us with our cocker spaniel Cosmo for 2+ years when I travel for work. My husband appreciates her walking him while I gone, making solo parenting a little easier. She's great at managing Cosmo's stubborn personality and ensuring he gets his exercise even when there's been a snow storm.
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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Etobicoke
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Etobicoke on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of June 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 7,583 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.
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 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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
