“Emily has continued to be a constant and reliable caregiver for our dog Woody. She is always available and flexible to accommodate us. I feel like she loves woody like we do and she provides us with amazing feedback and suggestions on how to help Woody be the best boy possible. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog. Emily is dedicated, insightful and caring. Thank you Emily !!!”
“Trisha was very flexible and excellent communication. She helped us out with our dog when we needed last minute service and was very accommodating and reliable. Would highly recommend her services and we will definitely use her again.”
“We were looking for someone to walk our dog Milo pretty much 2 days before. Andrea agreed to walk him, I had such a good feeling about her, I didnt meet her personally, my husband did and he confirmed she is very nice. Milo loves her already, he was already trying to take her shopping to pet store...haha. maybe he thought its his other mommy🫠 Thank you Andrea a lot Agnieszka”
About: I’ve always loved dogs my whole life but I’ve never had the chance to have a furry friend. When I am with my friends puppies I feel so connected and love having fun with them. I love going on walks and I think having a companion would be great! Getting our daily steps in and energy out is something I’m looking forwards to. I also enjoy calm days. Low energy activities and naps are always a good time too! I am currently working full time but would love to use my free time walking and playing with furry friends. I am available Tuesday, Thursday and the weekends (please message for more of a thorough breakdown of my availability). I am willing to visit a few fur balls after my shifts as well! I am willing to follow your wishes regarding your puppy’s care. I will ensure to keep them happy and well fed when you’re not home!
“If you are looking for caring, thoughtful, and expert care for your pet look no further. Lauren inspires confidence in the way she relates with pets and pet owners. She actively listens and learns about your pet and their special needs and reassures you by telling you exactly how she typically approaches specific considerations with your pet. Lauren’s experience and expertise as a vet tech really shines though. She is knowledgeable, communicates well, exhibits strong ethics, and is very compassionate and accommodating. We felt our precious and demanding little Westie was in very good hands and would not hesitate to book Lauren again. Our family will also be booking Lauren for their pets as well.”
“Communication with Max was excellent. He is friendly and professional. During their first meeting, he immediately won my anxious dog over with his calm and gentle energy. It is evident that he has experience with dogs and his love for them shines. I am very satisfied with his services and will not hesitate to be a repeat customer.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our lives. We cared for our dog for 12.5 wonderful years, including supporting him through diabetes for the last 1.5 years of his life. Through daily walks, medication routines, and lots of love, we learned how deeply meaningful caring for a dog truly is. After losing him, we miss the joy that dogs bring—walking, cuddling, and the unconditional love they share. Pet sitting allows us to give that love and care back to other families. Daily walks are always included in our fee and we will cater the length to whatever your dog is used to. Walks/Drop in visits: I work a rotating schedule and have many weekdays off. Please message to check availability! We walk nearly every weeknight anyways so we would love to incorporate dogs into our routine. Boarding: we both work full time in the office 4 days a week. Dogs must be able to be left alone in the day on weekdays. Weeknights and weekends we are both home. We would love to spend our evenings and weekends caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, weekend drop-ins, or overnight stays here at our home, your dog will be treated like family. We are a child-free, pet-free, smoke-free home, offering a calm and stress-free environment. Our property is fully fenced and includes a built-in ramp (see photo), making it ideal for dogs with mobility or stair challenges. My husband and I used to walk our own dog every single day, and he’ll be joining me in caring for the dogs who stay or visit. Between us, your pet will always have someone attentive, gentle, and experienced looking after them. We would be honoured to care for your pet and give them a loving home-away-from-home

About: I'll take your dog on a walk and I WILL take pretty pictures of your dog 😇 I've cared for not only my animals (who have lived to the ripe ages of 20+; I'm not shy with senior pets!) but have watched many friends' dogs and cats when they are out of town. DOCUMENTING Not only will I take care of your sweet dog but make sure to document it so you're there with us, every step of the way. I'm a professional photographer by trade, so some pretty pictures will most definitely be sent to you. THE SENIOR The life long care I have provided to my own pets into their senior years are some of my most treasured memories! Taking the extra time to go at a nice slow pace is no problem for me! Leave out their coziest sweater and I'll make sure those frail old bones are nice and toasty - no shivering on my watch! YOU'RE AWAY I will ensure your pet feels loved and cherished while you're away; as if it's you with them the whole time! I work from home, set my own hours and have a flexible schedule that can work around a walk or pee break! There is even time for a good ol' game of fetch! When I'm taking care of pets at my client's place, I stick to their routines and instructions as best as I can. I make sure their space is clean and safe, and I hang out with them to make sure they're happy and feel loved, even when their owners are away.
“Hazel had a great time walking with Veronica. She was very kind and patient with my dog during her walk. Veronica fulfilled a last min request and handled my dog very well. Hazel came back home tired and very happy! I am booking Veronica again today and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I am an experienced dog walker (see referral) and am comfortable & love working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have covered feedings, administering medications, and overnight housing experience. I am new to the community and looking.tk help out where I can. I WFH currently and have a very malleable schedule to adjust to your dog's needs. In my free time I design and make clothing (as well as dog wear); inquire for more info. I work a typical Monday - Friday schedule, however I operate completely WFH with a very flexible schedule. I'm a morning person so a typical day would include a walk before work, another on my lunch and then a trip to the dog park after work. Maddie is half lab so I never have to worry about what he's doing because he's probably 10 feet away. He's fed full meals twice a day, a mix of: kibble, a source of protein (typically chicken organs or beef), essential fats (coconut oil) and some sweet potato and yogurt for stomach health. (He'll probably get an egg or two on the side too whenever I eat). Ive utilized this combination since adoption; He's full of energy and constantly gets compliments on his coat. I have always been kind and patient and this has created very easy bonds with animals.

About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home.

Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 Fonthill. 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 Fonthill 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 Fonthill 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 Fonthill 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
