“This was my first time using Rover and Peter, it was such a relief knowing my dog was in such safe hands. My dog beau absolutely adored Peter as well and Beau was so happy after his walk! I will forsure be rebooking with Peter!”
“Juno started whimpering when he saw Thomas arrive for his walk. On a cold, windy, rainy day - Juno had no other hope for exercise. He gives 4 stars. He said he’d give 5 but Thomas didn’t have steak in his pocket.”
“Vanessa was so great! She tracked how many pee’s my little gremlin took (she marks her territory) and she brought in two of my packages for me which is so nice. Thank you so much Vanessa! Will definitely be contacting you again”
“Myriam is a very reliable, punctual, kind and caring person who loves our pups and ensures they get some valuable time outside for a break and exercise while we work long hours away from home. We love and appreciate having her help us help our dogs who we care deeply for and it is nice to have someone who feels the same. Thank you Myriam! We look forward to continuing scheduled walks for our dogs with your support!”
About: Hello! I'm Thalia, and I live in downtown Kingston neighbourhood close to many parks. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I grew up with and cared for a Wheaton Terrier for 14 years, and have been a dog lover my whole life. With such a flexible work schedule, I have a lot of free time that I'd love to spend hanging with a doggo! I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I can give outdoor breaks whenever needed, and at least a 30-60 minute walk each day. I'm happy to follow special care instructions and can help with medication if needed. I will make sure that your dog has a very fun, safe and comfortable time with lots of love and attention! As I work from home full time, I am very flexible and can include pet care into my daily routine to fit the needs of your pets 😊 I live close to many parks for lots of outdoor play time, and in a safe neighbourhood for long walks. I do not yet have a dog of my own, so can devote all my attention to taking care of yours!
About: I spent 8 years caring for a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable with big personalities (and even bigger dogs). I currently take care of a 2-year-old cat, which means I’m well-versed in earning trust, respecting boundaries, and providing attention on their terms. I am currently working part-time so I have all the extra time to take care of your loved ones! Plus having a car so extra flexible! I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of the home, keeping things clean and secure. Whether it’s a walk or a visit, I focus on creating a calm, reliable experience so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in elementary school for my friends and family and have loved them ever since. I enjoy every moment I spend with animals and love to hike so it’s perfect for me! I am a part-time soccer coach for elementary age children, and work evenings on the weekdays and mornings on the weekends, but other than that my schedule is pretty free! I have a fairly spacious house and yard! We are a smoke-free and caring home filled with animal lovers! We have a few pets but they are all calm and inviting! (A 2 year old cat and a 30 year old turtle)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. Family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets responsibly while also providing a fun and loving environment. I’m currently working full time and would love to get out and take care of animals. Every day looks different so I am available mornings and evenings. I have a family border collie. I am able to take animals for long walks, let them out and give them food and water and provide any care they may need.
About: I have always had dogs growing up. Since moving to my own apartment, I have fostered through the Eastern Ontario Potcake Rescue organization. I love caring for pets until I am ready to have one of my own. I work Wednesday to Saturday and am free Sunday to Tuesday for full service care. I will be with your pet 100% of the time with no distractions! I live in an apartment with my boyfriend (who also loves dogs) so I am only able to take in small to medium sized dogs. However, I can house sit and walk any sized dog no problem. There is a park near my apartment where I can take the dog to run around and go to the bathroom. I also have a medium sized crate if needed.
About: I am a experienced and passionate walker to ensure your dog gets the exercise, socialization, and attention they deserve. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or an energetic play session at the park, I treat every dog like my own, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and safe. Join our pack and let us make your dog's day brighter! Dog walking fits seamlessly into my part-time work schedule by offering flexible and convenient walk times. Whether you need early morning, midday, or evening walks, my services accommodate your availability. This ensures your dog receives the exercise and attention they need without disrupting your work commitments. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is well-cared for while you focus on your job or while enjoying vacations. I provide attentive and loving care for both my dog and my clients' dogs on every walk. Each outing is tailored to the dogs' individual needs, ensuring they get the right amount of exercise and stimulation. I prioritize safety, using secure leashes and harnesses, and always remain vigilant for potential hazards. We enjoy engaging activities, whether it's a brisk walk, a playful run, or exploring new scents. I treat every dog as if they were my own, fostering trust and joy in every step we take together.
“Susan was easy to communicate with and took the time to get to know our puppy that she was meeting for the first time! She was very understanding and only did what our puppy felt safe doing during their first encounter together!”
About: I am Pet First Aid certified and certified through Fear Free’s Shelter Program and Boarding & Daycare Program, which trained me to recognize fear, anxiety, stress signals, arousal levels, body language, and environmental triggers. I grew up in a dog friendly family and spent 12 years caring for my family dog, including her current senior stage care. My Life Sciences and Biomedical Science background also makes me detail-oriented and observant with changes in behaviour, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I focus on secure handling, safe routes, calm interactions, and adapting the walk to each dog’s temperament, age, and energy level. My goal is to provide reliable, low-stress dog walking that owners can trust. I am currently in my summer break (May-Sept). while writing up my research paper draft, I will be flexible with my schedule 7 days a week 6:00am-10:00pm for dog walking. I have full G license with my own vehicle. For dog walking, I focus on safety, consistency, and calm handling. Before each walk, I confirm the dog’s routine, leash or harness setup, energy level, triggers, and any special instructions. I also apply what I learned from Fear Free shelter and boarding/daycare training by paying close attention to body language, fear-anxiety-stress signals, arousal level, thresholds, and environmental triggers. I check that equipment is secure, choose safe routes, avoid unnecessary dog to dog interactions, and adjust the pace to the dog’s comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress walk while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I have had the joy of loving cats and dogs of my own throughout my life. I assisted my cat Randi with the birth of 2 litters. We adopted my dog Quinn as a new born puppy and cared for him until his Senior years when he went blind and sadly passed away. I am experienced at caring for sick animals and administering medications. I also volunteered at the humane society walking dogs and playing with them. As well I volunteered at the cat adoption at pets smart From changing kitty litter playing and giving love. I am recently retired and have alot of time available to pet sit. Currently I have Monday to Sunday available. From 9am to 6 pm. I can accommodate. Iam available to care for any pets in their home. What ever is needed for care such as feeding, walking. And of course lots of cuddles and playing and making sure they are safe
About: I have loved and worked with animals for over 10 years and am passionate about helping animals find safe, loving homes. As a foster parent with the Kingston Humane Society, I have helped care for and place many cats into their forever homes. I have experience working with cats with specific medical and behavioural needs, including overweight cats, senior cats, and cats recovering from dental procedures and surgeries. I have also worked with local humane societies to help raise funds for spay and neuter programs and have worked to support adoption efforts within the community! I have all a cat would need at my place! All you need to do is bring your kitty. Feel free to message me if you have any questions at all. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, or quiet alone time depending on their needs and personality. I always try to make pets feel as safe and comfortable as possible. With cats especially, I usually let them come to me first instead of forcing interaction since every cat is different. If they want attention and cuddles, I’m happy to give them lots of love, but if they’d rather have their own space, that’s totally okay too. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible and make sure they have a calm, clean, and low-stress environment. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a lot of shy, senior, and special-needs cats, so I’ve learned how important patience and trust are when caring for animals.
About: I love cuddles and spending time with the dogs in my company. When looking after friend's dogs, I have helped with training good behaviour on walks, and I'm happy to enforce the norms and rules your dog is used to. I have the benefit of having a flexible day so I can pay attention to your pet when they need it. My home is fairly low energy and I hope to provide a calm and loving refuge for your pet while you are away. Unfortunately I do not board cats to keep my home allergy friendly, but I will happily take care of and give love and affection to cats on drop in visits. :) I owned a free roam rabbit for 3 years, and I have a thorough understanding of their unique needs and body language. I also love taking videos to send along for your reassurance. Let's have a conversation so I can be the best sitter for your needs! I'm a freelance artist who is currently home the majority of the time! I can happily plan my days around your pet's schedule and needs, and I love the ability to fit more walks in my day and get outside. Boarding: I do not own any other pets, and I do not currently allow sitting pets from multiple homes at once. For boarding - your dog will for the most part have free roam of my apartment, and good potty training is expected. I would not recommend very plant-curious dogs to board at my home. Coming to your home: I always maintain a base line of respect and privacy when coming to your home. My focus is your pet and their well-being and nothing else. I ensure to abide by your norms such as removing shoes, and keeping away from private areas of your home unless required. I can check on other things in your home to ensure there's no upturned trash, water leaks, or other issues while you're away. If there are any messes in your home, I am more than happy to take care of them with your direction and using your cleaning products.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Kingston is $22

Sofia is absolutely amazing!!! Such a kind and wonderful girl. I broke my foot and my partner needed to be away for work, therefore I could not take our dog Aura out for her walks. Sofia was extremely punctual for Aura’s walks and very lovely to talk to, plus accommodating of different schedule times of my partner not being home on different days. Aura would wait at our door for her Sofia walks.
Jordan came to walk my Clara for the first time. She was friendly, punctual and I felt that my pup was in very competent and caring hands. I’m looking forward to having Jordan back again. Clara happily trotted off with Jordan which told me all I needed to know.
Both my pets and I love Mary. My pup is getting older and Mary was more than comfortable carrying her up the stairs during her visit and had zero hesitation with the other animals in my home. She was very responsive and sends the cutest photos of her time caring for my pets. From my little zoo, we thank you again!💗 🐶🐱🐰
Sam took great care of Violet! She was incredibly patient and adapted her care to suit Violet’s needs. It’s clear from the way she interacted with her that Sam truly loves dogs. I felt confident leaving Violet in her hands and would absolutely recommend her to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kingston 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 216 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Kingston. About 82% of Kingston 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 Kingston. 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 Kingston.
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 Kingston 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 Kingston 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.
