“Maria is so great with my dog, Ashton! She takes him out for walks and to play fetch. Ashton loves her. She’s our go to dog walker! She was kind enough to schedule a meet and greet with both Ash and I before she took him out on her own. She responds very timely and is always accommodating. Thanks Maria!”


“William was great with Ollie. He always arrived on time with a smile on his face for the thirty minute walk, and Ollie came home happy and tired! I would highly recommend William to look after your dog😊”

“We have done more than a handful of sessions, and I’m so happy with what my pup and Shanice do together. She even asked to get her pup together with mine and I was so happy for them.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I'm very patient and love working with animals to ensure that they are comfortable. I work at home during the day from Monday-Friday and care for my Shih tzu throughout each day. I bring her for many walks each day. I am flexible in the care for my clients pets. Based on client recommendation, I can either give their pets their own comfortable space or, if they enjoy the company of people and other dogs, I can slowly introduce them to my dog in a shared space.
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some are social and affectionate, while others need patience and quiet reassurance. I’m happy to let each cat set the pace and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a lifelong cat owner, I know how important routines are, from feeding schedules and litter box care to playtime and cuddles (when they’re in the mood!). I’ll care for your cat with the same love, patience, and attention to detail that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I recently lost my best friend Stella, the border collie. I’ve had border collies for the past 26 years and am still adjusting to life without a busy dog. I miss the daily routine of walking a dog. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. I will work with a pets established routines. I have a lot of free time to take on pet sitting. I will ensure that your pet remains comfortable in their own home and will work with their established schedules. A pet is less stressed in their own surroundings.
“Kelsie is amazing with our dog Griffin! She communicates with me often and always lets me know how the walks go! She always has the best intentions for the dogs she cares for. Kelsie is always our go-to with our dog!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbours’ cats, dogs, and rabbits while they were away - something i relished, as I wasn't allowed my own pet in the house (excluding fish, which i had many- i took what i could get!). Since moving out I have adopted several cats of my own and have continued to pet sit for friends regularly (both cats and dogs). They know they can always count on me if they need a sitter. :) Caring for animals has always felt like something that comes naturally to me; I love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. Most recently, I have cared, on multiple occasions, for three elderly and sick cats. Each has different health needs, medications, and eating schedules, so I made sure to carefully follow their routines and give each one the attention and care they needed. I also provided regular updates to assuage any understandable fears that the parents had. I’m reliable, responsible, and very attentive, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently moved from Vancouver Island back to my home city of Ottawa and am currently unencumbered by a full-time job. I am available 24/7 for attentive pet care, ranging from walks, feeding and check-ins, to multiple night stays. When caring for your pet in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping their usual routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to take care of their everyday needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter or bathroom breaks, and administering medications when needed. I’ll take the time to follow any specific instructions you leave me and pay close attention to your pet’s behaviour, making sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll adapt to their personality and needs; whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship.
About: Having worked at PetSmart, I am formally trained in basic animal behaviour, proper handling techniques, and standard pet safety. I specialize in maintaining seamless, stress-free routines for healthy, independent dogs. I am a detail-oriented professional and meticulous home manager, ensuring your property remains clean, secure, and compliant with home insurance requirements while you travel. I work a rotating shift schedule, typically alternating between daytime (7:00 AM to 3:00 PM) and evening (3:00 PM to 11:00 PM) hours. Because my hours shift, I am the perfect fit for highly independent, low-maintenance dogs who are comfortable being left alone for an 8-hour stretch at various times of the day. No matter my shift, I always provide a dedicated presence at the home overnight, ensuring your property is secure and your pets get their consistent morning and late-night routines. I strictly follow all homeowner instructions regarding property security, locking doors, and gate safety. To ensure the highest possible quality of care and complete safety, I exclusively limit my services to properties with no pets or to healthy pets that do not require medical care, injections, or complex medication schedules. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, bringing in mail, and managing curbside bins so it always looks occupied. I am also a dog owner.
“My dog took an instant liking to Erica. She is clearly very comfortable with big dogs who love to be loved (and might be a bit over exuberant). Erica quickly responded and was a pleasure to meet. I have no hesitation in recommending Erica’s dog walking services.”

About: Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! As a dog-owner, I have experienced the stress and anxiety of finding someone who will look after my dogs the same way I do. Someone who is patient with their quirks and willing to treat my dogs as their own…..so this is what I strive for while looking after your dogs! Most importantly, I want your time away (whether it’s for work, travel or something else) to be as stress free as possible. I have 10+ years volunteering with various animal rescue groups and I am a certified Therapy Dog team member (Magical Paws Pet Therapy) which means I volunteer in LTC homes and hospice with 2 of my dogs. I am also an approved foster home for multiple rescues across Ontario. We have fostered 16 rescue dogs in the past 4 years. I have a 15-year old daughter (loves animals and is a huge help with your dogs). Smoke-free home. I have a fully fenced yard, and live in the country (only 20 minutes from Ottawa and 3 mins from the 416). I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs & special needs dogs. Willing to administer medication. Whether your dog(s) want hiking and adventure, (cooling off in my dog pool, or just chilling on the couch) I’m happy to provide whatever level of activity your dog enjoys! Feel free to ask me anything else! I am home full time. If I need to step out for errands etc. I try to do so when my daughter is home so that pets are always supervised. On the rare occasion we both need to be out for a short period, dogs are given their own safe space to decompress and relax. I have 3 very friendly small dogs (all neutered and up to date on shots) and a fully fenced yard. We also have a small doggy pool for hot days.
About: Hi, I’m Abdellah! 5.0 stars and 7 years of hands-on pet care experience. I bring a biology and health sciences background to every pet I look after, comfortable with feeding schedules, oral medication, and injected medication for dogs and cats with/without medical needs. I have experience with senior dogs and special needs pets, so if your pet needs extra care, I’ve got you covered. Whether your pet is a bouncy pup or a shy cat who needs time to warm up, I’ll follow their pace and make sure they feel safe and genuinely cared for. You’ll get photo updates throughout so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands! I am available at any time to meet your needs! ☺️ Feel free to message me with your inquiry and I will make sure to get back to you as soon as possible, usually within less than an hour! I always make sure the environment is clean, tidy and safe for the client’s pets. I also make sure to respect and follow the client’s guidelines and tips ! ☺️

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johnston Corners
What a comfort knowing my pup was in great hands while we were out of the country. Jessica was kind, knowledgeable and reliable the entire time. My dog Paisley gets anxious from time to time and I knew that with Jessica's help and patience, she would not only enjoy her walks, but look forward to them. Thank you Jessica! We adore you xo

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 Johnston Corners. 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 Johnston Corners 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 Johnston Corners 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 Johnston Corners 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.
