Dog Walkers in Guelph

“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!”

“Maria is amazing with Jet! He loved her right away and felt comfortable around her! He has really been enjoying his walks/ fetch time with her. She has also been great at communicating and touching base to see if there’s anything I need. I highly recommend her to walk/ dog sit your dog!”

About: I have years of experience with animal care, having pet-sat for many families and pet owners over the last 10 years, as well as in more established settings such as vet clinics and animal rescues. I also grew up and have lived alongside animals for most of my life. I have experience with animals ranging from house pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.) to farm animals (pigs, donkeys, sheep, etc.) and am confident in my ability to care for and love your companions. I grew up with rescue animals and understand they can sometimes have their quirks and need a little extra patience. The animals in my family have included seniors, a diabetic cat, and rescues who were very fearful and took time to feel safe. I’m comfortable caring for animals who may be anxious, reactive, or not easily handled, and I always prioritize making them feel safe and loved. Some of my specific skills and experiences include: - Experience with grooming and nail trimming for house pets (and often asked by owners to help with this for their own animals) - Caring for injured animals or those with special needs (with guidance from owners or vets) - Experience administering basic medications, including pills, injections, and oral syringes - Comfortable following detailed care instructions and medication schedules - Experience working at wildlife and animal sanctuaries - Volunteer experience at a veterinary clinic - Confident and calm when handling animals - Strong understanding of animal body language and behaviour The rates on my profile are just suggestions. I don't often have a set rate as I prefer to find something that works for both of us, so please still reach out and we can chat about it! I work numerous casual jobs and so I have a very flexible schedule which I can work around and adjust based on my pet-sitting schedule. I believe I offer a very safe and comforting environment for the pets I sit, whether at their home or mine. I've been told I give off a very caring energy that makes people and animals feel safe and like they con trust me. As an anxious person myself, I really care about your pet feeling safe, comfy, and at ease.

“Jessica is the best! Very accommodating and patient with our little Maltese-Pomeranian. She was able to help us out within 1 days notice and Theo just loves her (and we do too)!! Would and have recommended her to all my friends who have dogs and might need assistance!”

“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”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent the past 10 years caring for my own mini dachshund, Tony, and helping family and friends with their pets. From walks and playtime to feeding and companionship, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Every pet in my care is treated like family. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine especially since I am off from university for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate lots of time to walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and am available throughout the week to provide reliable, loving care. I care for every pet with the same love, trust, and attention that I give my own. Safety and reliability are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I have a senior mini dachshund who is very lazy and spends most of his time lounging. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, while providing plenty of supervision, affection, and updates to owners.

“Samantha was excellent with Rosie while we were out of town! She is a wonderful communicator and I can tell Rosie was comfortable with her right away. Samantha is knowledgeable and patient and asked great questions when meeting us and kept me up to date during our time away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable dog-walker!”

“Isabella was incredible kind, caring and accommodating to our quick need for care with our babies ( 2 German Shepherds) who we left with my senior mother. We met briefly before departing for our trip and we instantly felt comfortable with Isabella. Our dogs also instantly appeared very comfortable with her and created a special bond over the 2 week period. We are very grateful and thankful we found her on Rover and will definitely use her again to walk our babies on our next trip or when needed! Thank you, Isabella! 🙏🏻♥️”

About: I'm a university student who has always loved dogs and cats. I grew up surrounded by friends and family members who had pets, and I have a cat. I love walking, I do my best to get 14,000+ steps every day. If you choose me to dog-walk for you, your dogs will get attention and care, while also staying healthy. If you choose for me to pet-sit for you, I will give your dogs the appropriate attention while also making sure your house is being well taken care of. Being that I'm a university student, I'm consistently eager to learn and gain new experience. I am passionate towards pets, I love being in an environment surrounded by kind and loving creatures. If you choose me to check in on and take care of your pets, rest assured your pets will be well loved and you won't have to worry about them throughout the day. I’m working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry loved ones! I’m very active and love being in nature. I live in an apartment building, so my apartment is not ideal. However, as I’m offering dog walking and house sitting, this should not be an issue.

About: I’ve always had a strong connection with dogs and a genuine love for caring for them. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments and energy levels, from playful and energetic to calm and reserved. I pay close attention to behaviour, routines, and cues, making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I approach every dog with patience, responsibility, and care. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. I work part-time with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, accommodating last-minute requests, or spending extra time with your pet, I’m able to prioritize their care and ensure they receive reliable, attentive support. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, and any house rules to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to behaviour and surroundings, making sure pets are safe at all times, whether that means secure leashing on walks, monitoring interactions, or keeping a calm and clean environment. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience where pets feel cared for and owners feel reassured.

About: Hi! I’m Sabrina — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had cats my entire life, including those with special medical or behavioural needs, and I understand just how much love and patience they deserve. I’ve also walked and sat for many dogs - including beagles, shitzus and poodles - over the years and spent time volunteering with the humane society. My professional background includes working for a veterinary association and animal charity, so I’m very knowledgeable about pet care and extremely confident handling pets with a variety of needs and personalities. Fun fact: If you search for the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association on YouTube and watch their pet care videos, those were written, filmed and edited by me! Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, extra snuggles, or just a reliable walking buddy, I’ll treat them like one of my own! I currently work on a hybrid schedule and have Fridays off work, so I could do early mornings or evenings (except Tuesday), and any time on Fridays. However, I may have additional flexibility and can work with you to arrange a schedule that works with you. I will care for your pets exactly how you would. If they have a 7 a.m. breakfast, I can be there. Need a pill? I’ve got them covered. Just provide the details, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own.

“Joy walks our dog a couple times a week. She is punctual and has great communication, and it is obvious that she loves dogs! We know he is being well cared for ♥️”

Colleen G.

“So far so good! Melissa is a great communicator and Yvie seems to really like her! Melissa’s walks allow me to be able to leave Yvie home one day a week and know she is still getting attention and exercise!”
