About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I grew up with Ruby, a French Bulldog/Pug mix, and helped care for her for 13 years, including during her senior years when she needed extra patience, attention, and care. I also have a small dachshund of my own, so I understand how much pets mean to their families and how important it is to have someone you can trust. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work fully remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and visits, and I’m home for most of the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I also have availability during evenings, nights, and weekends, making it easy to work around your pet’s routine and schedule. I live in an attached home with a fully fenced-in backyard, providing a safe space for dogs to get some fresh air and play. I’m also located near several parks and walking paths, which are great for walks, exercise, and outdoor adventures. Since I work from home, I can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any specific instructions from their owners to help them feel right at home.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with them. I’m active, responsible, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care while keeping them safe and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a student at Western University and have a flexible class schedule, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week for dog walking and pet care. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s regular routine. I also have several days with large breaks between classes, making daytime walks easy to accommodate. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding walking routes, routines, behaviour, or special needs. During walks, I’ll keep a safe distance from other dogs unless you tell me otherwise, as I understand that not every dog is comfortable around other pets and we can’t always predict how another dog will react. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention while always keeping their safety first.

About: I specialize in caring for high-energy dogs who need more than just a walk.

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 Ilderton. 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 Ilderton 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 Ilderton 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 Ilderton 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.
