About: I can take care all kinds of dogs. Two years ago, when my lordlady went back to her hometown, she left her two dogs to me to take care. Usually we give three or four times walking a day, go around the big park, or play in the dog park…………, we stay at home most of the time I pay much more attention on details, i can take care of your dog carefully. I have set a separately place to stay for your dog.

About: I have about two years of experience caring for pets and currently have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. While I don’t provide training, I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and focus on calm, well-paced walks. I treat every pet with the same care and responsibility I expect for my own. I’m available every day, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to fit your pet’s schedule and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and respect.

Emi a vraiment été super avec Duke. Elle est très sympathique et elle l’a très vite mis à l’aise alors que c’était la première fois qu’ils se rencontraient. La communication était très fluide et ouverte. J’ai reçu plein de photos et vidéos de leur balade. Je recommande vivement et je continuerai de faire appel à Emi pour promener mon Duke.

About: Ive had pets around me my whole life. Whether it be my own pets or my neighbours, I cannot get enough of them. I try to be around animals as much as possible. I also do horseback riding so I really love all animals. I have a lot of experience with puppies and do not scare easy! I work from home so I spend most week days on my couch with my laptop and would love the extra company! I have a dog park nearby that’s normally empty and would love to get the extra exercise. My neighbourhood is quite dog friendly so an aggressive dog may not be the best fit here I would always make sure your pet is comfortable in my home and that he/she trusts me. I would never want an uncomfortable environment for either of us, and would contact you right away if that was the case.

It would be a pleasure to have the opportunity to have met you and your dog or cat I always make sure that the animal is taken care of with love. Also that the animal doesn’t feel alone, I would play with them and definitely meet their needs

About: I regularly walked my neighbor’s dog for 3 years before becoming a foster home for a Mira Foundation dog for a year and a half, taking care of him entirely on my own. Unfortunately, my current lease does not allow pets, but I love animals dearly and would be happy to give your pet the loving care and attention they deserve. I have been living with a cat at my parents house for around 20 years. -- J’ai promené régulièrement le chien de ma voisine pendant 3 ans avant de devenir famille d’accueil pour un chien de la Fondation Mira pendant un an et demi, en m’occupant entièrement de lui moi-même. Malheureusement, mon bail actuel ne me permet pas d’avoir d’animaux, mais j’adore les animaux et je prendrai soin du vôtre avec beaucoup d’amour et d’attention. J'habitais avec un chat dans la maison de mes parents pendant environ 20 ans. As a university student with a fully open summer schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attentive, loving care they deserve, and to care for your home as well if needed. -- Je suis une étudiante universitaire avec tout l’été de libre, donc beaucoup de temps pour offrir une présence attentionnée et remplie d’amour à votre animal de compagnie, ainsi qu’à votre maison si vous le souhaitez. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I provide attentive, loving care and make sure every pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for, whether in your home or during walks. Having cared for a Mira dog, I understand the importance of patience, routine, trust, and responsibility. I also never wear headphones while walking dogs so I can give them my full attention at all times, and I only walk one dog at a time to ensure safe, personalized care. -- La sécurité, le confort et le bonheur de votre animal seront toujours ma priorité. J’offre une présence attentive et bienveillante afin que chaque animal se sente en sécurité, calme et bien entouré, que ce soit à votre domicile ou pendant les promenades. Ayant été famille d’accueil pour un chien Mira, je comprends l’importance de la patience, de la routine, de la confiance et du sens des responsabilités. Je ne porte jamais d’écouteurs pendant les promenades afin d’accorder toute mon attention au chien, et je promène seulement un chien à la fois pour assurer une attention sécuritaire et personnalisée.

About: I bring experience as both a foster and a dedicated caretaker, giving me a deep understanding of dogs at every life stage. I can happily match a puppy’s playful energy, while also being patient and gentle with a lovely frosty-faced senior—giving them the time and space to sniff, explore, and simply be their best selves. My goal is always to provide comfort, consistency, and care that lets each animal feel safe, loved, and understood. UPDATE: Currently best to book in advance so I can keep that time for you. I work in a creative field on a contract basis, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine, making time for walks, play, feeding, and any other needs throughout the day. For now, I can come to your place for visits or take your dog out for walks. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own space, and I’ll follow any routines or little quirks that keep them feeling at home

About: I have taken care of dogs, bunnies, cats, for 10+ years. My strength has been in caring for animals with anxiety, nervousness, or shyness, and bringing them comfort and a positive environment. I am very good at reinforcing training for the young ones to provide them consistency and stability in their routine. I am gifted in reading animals and having a lot of patience, and a great passion for them. This allows me to connect with them really effectively and be able to create a safe and loving experience for your fur babies! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full‑time as an operations manager from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day for walks, check‑ins, playtime, and just being present. I’m not rushing in and out between commitments—your pet gets real attention worked into my day, not squeezed in as an afterthought. I used to dog sit in my own home and absolutely loved it, but after moving, my landlord no longer allows pets. Continuing to care for animals in clients’ homes is my way of keeping that connection I genuinely miss. Spending time with pets is something I want to do, not just something I’m fitting in. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s midday walks, medication timing, extra companionship during the workday, or sticking closely to an established routine. It ends up feeling very natural and consistent for them, which I know makes a big difference. For me, pet care is a grounding, enjoyable part of my week—and for your pet, it means calm, reliable care from someone who truly enjoys being there! When I care for pets in your home, I treat it like it’s their space and their routine, not just a place I’m visiting. I stick closely to your instructions—feeding schedules, walk times, meds, house rules—so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and comfort, whether that means active time or just being a calm, reassuring presence nearby. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety (doors secure, leashes on, food stored properly). I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel totally at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels relaxed and well cared for, and you come home to a happy animal and a home just the way you left it.

About: I have been around pets for a large amount of my life. Helping friends walk or play with their dogs or watching over their cats. I am currently home from university and have a very open schedule so I am free to pet sit or walk most of the week at limited advance notice. I ensure they are well fed, entertained and that dogs are taken out on walks regularly. I also make sure I can see them or know where they are and am careful about opening windows and doors.

About: Hi, I’m Fiorella! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether it's going on long walks with dogs or keeping cats entertained.

You can count on me to provide your furry friend with the attention and care they deserve while you're away. I’m excited to meet your pet and keep them in great spirits! Being in university allows me flexible scheduling, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and can accommodate various needs throughout the week. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential to me, and I maintain open communication to provide peace of mind

I normally don’t write reviews but Heather was wonderful when it came to everything. From the start she was very quick to respond, willing to communicate happily, extremely flexible to all the obstacles I threw her way, and went above and beyond when it came to walking my Husky and it showed by his excitement towards her. You will not be disappointed with Heather :)

My dog Henry is the most important things in my life. So it goes without saying that it was important for me to have somebody that understood that and would care for him just as much as I did. When we met with Nick, it was clear that he was the perfect person for the job. Henry was quickly drawn to Nick’s calm energy and passion , and after the third day of walks, Henry sat on his feet and did not want to leave 😌 thank you Nick for taking care of Henry like he was your own.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hampstead

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hampstead on Rover is $16.65 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 1,948 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Hampstead. About 82% of Hampstead 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 Hampstead. 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 Hampstead.

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 Hampstead 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 Hampstead 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:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
