“Kirsten was truly wonderful with our boy - gentle, patient, and kind. You can tell that she really loves animals! Kirsten walked our dog during a difficult period of our lives after I unexpectedly had a stroke. Her walks were the highlight of our dog’s week, and I felt so comforted knowing that our boy was happy while I recovered ☺️”
“Christina did a great job looking after my senior dog. When we had to go out for the day, I had her come in for a brief walk and then just a "hang out" (since he can't walk too far, but doesn't like to be alone too long). She kept me up to date about her activity, which always puts me at ease. Will definitely book her again!”
“Kristen is an amazing dog sitter. From the first she walked our two male dogs, she demonstrated not only professionalism but love with the GSD and Jack Russel. They are both strong and energetic dogs but she handles them with grace. From the moment they met Kristen, both dogs took a liking to her. She has been very reliable and available to help us out when we needed her on short notice. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she delivers 5 star service every single time and the dogs are always happy to see her and popped out after she walks or babysit them. Thank you Kristen”

“Nova was great with our Vizsla! He is definitely a goofball and overly excited but she made friends with him quickly and he really seemed to enjoy his walk with her! Will for sure book again!”
“Kristina is so great with my 4 month old puppy! She is patient and loving with him! She takes him for walks and if he is too tired to keep walking she comes back and plays with him so he is still getting out some energy. I’m so glad we found her and Reggie adores her!”

We had Shelley take our 2 dogs for a walk today. Gus is a rescue and is very nervous and does not take to new people easily...it is a slow warm-up. When he met Shelley for the first time, he sniffed her foot and his tail just started wagging!! He loved her. Their first walk with Shelley went really well. We have found the perfect dog sitter for our 2 dogs --and we are very grateful.

Rachel is so friendly, she did a call with me before meeting Koa to make sure we both felt comfortable, once Koa went on her walk with Rachel I could see that she was treating Koa like her own dog, that’s huge for me and huge for Koa to feel safe. Will definitely book with Rachel again!
Antoni was great with my dog, Maple! He showed up on time, was super respectful, and made sure she had water and treats during their walk. He also sent me some cute photos along the way. Maple came back happy and tired, can’t ask for more than that. Definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Guelph on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 2,764 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Guelph. About 86% of Guelph 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 Guelph. 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 Guelph.
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 Guelph 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 Guelph 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:
- 80% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
