About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each animal's unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly enjoy being active. I'm very fit and love getting outside, so walks are never something I rush through or treat as a chore. Your dog will get the time, attention, and exercise they deserve, whether that's a leisurely stroll with lots of sniffing or a longer, more energetic walk. I understand that pets are family members, and I care for every animal as if they were my own, providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while you're away. I am a nursing student currently enjoying a Golden summer. This being said I have a fairly open and flexible schedule. I’m a big pet lover so this will always be top priority for me. I care for pets with love, respect, and genuine attention to their individual needs. I make an effort to truly connect with each animal, learn their personality, and help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow their established routines for feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication, while providing plenty of affection, companionship, and supervision. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I have a large fenced in yard with no other animals here in Golden.
About: We had a familydog as a kid. When I met my husband I also got to be part of his dog's life, we were lucky enough to have her until she was almost 17. I am working on training my first search dog. We brought home a 2nd dog in April, a puppy from Little Mittens Animal Rescue. We also have a very dog-tolerant cat from Little Mittens. I work full time, but seasonally. I'm looking to see how this works and how I enjoy it and am fitting it into my schedule on days off, for now. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dog runs set up so that my dogs are safe when I am not home. I have my vehicles set up with dog crates so tgat animals are contained and safe while travelling with me. I will talk to you and learn about your pet and their needs so that I can give your pet the beat care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Golden on Rover is $26.75 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 .
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 Golden. 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 Golden.
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 Golden 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 Golden 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.
