“Peter is the only sitter I hire for my girl. He’s very attentive and caring, always updating me and following any directions I leave. He even left us a cute little card telling us how my girl did on her walk :) thank you for all you do Peter!”
“Terra-Lee helped us out with a very last minute dog walk request! When my dog was being shy and resistant, Terra-Lee went above and beyond and spent an hour building rapport with her and was able to get her out on a walk. Thanks so much!!!!”
“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!”
“Taylor is definitely someone you want taking care of your pets, super personable, flexible, and willing to cater to your pets individual needs. My dog is a rescue and he took to her immediately. Will be booking her again soon!”
“Maya has been such a reliable support for our pup. She shares fun pics and our pup loves when she comes. She adjusts and takes our guy for walks in the shade when needed. She is quick to respond. She has been a great help and we feel lucky to have her support.”
About: Heyy! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I’m especially experienced with reactive and separation anxiety dogs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, so I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I genuinely love hosting and caring for animals, and I’d be excited to give your pet the same attention, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a university student with only 1–4 hours of classes per day during the week, and Mondays are completely free. Outside of class and on weekends, I’m usually home with plenty of time to care for your pets. I have lots of time and energy for pups, including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home very clean and organized and have quality pet supplies to make pets feel comfortable. For daycare and boarding, I can care for pets in my home or yours. My home has a spacious, private bedroom that can be used as a safe and comfortable space for your pet when they need quiet time or rest. I’m also very attentive to cleanliness and will regularly clean up after pets to keep their environment fresh and hygienic. For house sitting, I’m flexible and can potentially stay at your home full-time depending on your needs and preferences.
About: Grown up taking care of my two Cavalier's for 13 years. Have experience with senior dogs and as they say "No home decor is complete without dog hair!" Back at Queen's University for school. I am available for early morning walks or runs from 8 am - 3pm and boarding most weekday nights. I have time to take the dog outside as much as possible and provide LOTS of water. I am located near a park for many furry adventures and near the pier for nice boardwalk mornings together! I have a clean and safe house with lots of room to lounge inside.
About: I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs since I got my own when I was 8. I have been around dogs of all different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I love them all! I have always been the go to dog sitter for friends and family because I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Every dog has its own needs and routine so I will always make sure they are loved, cared for, and come home happy! I am currently in my 3rd year at Queen’s studying Health. I am available all day Thursday-Sunday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing. I live in a central area in Kingston with nearby parks and lots of walkable streets. My home also has plenty of room for a dog and it has an outdoor area!
“Sadie has been a life saver!!! She is super punctual and responsive and our pup loves her. She has administered eye drops and made us feel very reassured. Super grateful to have Sadie there to take Murphy out during the day when we’re not home.”
About: Hi there! I’m Ekene (feel free to call me Kenny!) 😊 I’m a medical student in Kingston who loves pets! I’ve done a lot of pet-sitting for friends for both their puppies and kittens over the years. The youngest I’ve pet-sat was an 8-week old kitten! Going on walks is one of my favourite activities to pass time, and I’d love to have some furry friends join me. More than happy to just run around and play catch too 🎾 I’m a 2nd year medical student right now, and my schedule/days have pretty consistent hours. After my classes or hospital/clinic work wrap up in the mornings and early afternoons, I’ll be free for walks on most evenings on weekdays, and all-day on weekends. On days when my school programming wraps up around noon, I’ll be free even earlier for afternoon walks! I would love to set up a meet & greet with your pet before we start walks or visits, so that we can get to know each other and establish trust first & foremost. I want every pet to feel comfortable!
“Our labradoodle has adjusted to her new dogwalker, and we couldn't be happier! She is reliable and kind, and knew how to "win her over" with patience and kindness. And not afraid to ask for insight from us if Reggie was hesitant.”
“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”
About: I’ve had my own dogs for 13 years so I am patient , reliable, and have genuine love for dogs of all ages. I’m attentive to routines, comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, which make sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for. I am a queens student who has lots of spare time in between classes, after school and on weekends to spend with ur fluffy friend💌 I care by putting my whole heart into these pups. I bring toys, give lots of cuddles, and treat them like my own. I like to make sure my own dogs have really had enough time outside since a lot of them time animals are inside too often, i’ll always make sure your dog has had enough love and outdoor time.
About: I am a university student, who loves dogs! I have a large energetic dog of my own at home, who can be quite challenging at times, so I have plenty of experience with dogs who require lots of attention and patience. I am very responsible and caring, and I would love to be able to give your do the care they deserve! Although I am a university student I have a very flexible class schedule! I am free on weekends, Wednesdays, and Fridays all day, and on Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a few classes so my availability is a bit more limited. That being said, I am happy to be flexible and work with your schedule as much as I can! I’ll always insure a pet will be cared for properly in their own home. I’ll follow their routine as close as possible, including feeding times, walk times, and any other important routines.
About: I am a life-long animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was 11 years old. I have experience walking dogs of all ages, from excitable puppies to slow-moving seniors. I have also cared for dogs of various temperaments. Whether they are bit over-enthusiatic (like mine), timid, anxious, reactive, or completely nonchalant, I'm patient in getting to know each new pet and their personality. I love learning about the little quirks that make them unique. Through getting to know their routines, likes, and dislikes, I'm committed to giving each animal the best possible care. I currently have a dog and a cat, and I love both animals equally (when asked if I'm a dog person or a cat person, I can't choose!). As a self-employed artist, I can flex my daily work schedule to meet your pet's needs. Mid-morning stroll? No problem. Afternoon trip to the park? On it. Evening drop-in visit? I got you covered. I know from experience that scheduling time to make sure you get your dog out and about can be tricky between work and other commitments. I'm happy to help you give your dog the steps and sniffs they need. I am a self-employed artist, so my schedule is typically quite flexible from week to week. I am open to walks and drop-ins most days from 7am - 7pm. My own dog loves his routine, so I try my best to stick to that. He gets breakfast and dinner at regular times, mental exercise games after meals, regular backyard breaks, 1-2 walks per day, and lots of snuggles and pets. This is the kind of care that I offer to all pets I care for. Specifically for visiting pets and those who I don't know especially well, I make sure to supervise so that they aren't getting into any danger or trouble.
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!

Peter took care of Sky my dog who is 5 years old Mixed German shepherd while I was away. On spot when Sky met Peter he liked him, and usually I go with what my dog tells me 😅 I was away for 15 days and Peter was always on schedule, made sure Sky is fed has fresh water and get enough exercise. It is not only that, Sky and I went through a very stressful situation and I could not get back home as the flights were fully booked despite all the stressful situation Peter still watched out for my dog and didn't leave him even the last minute where i could not find any ride home due to the weather he came and took care of Sky. I highly recommend Peter he is very reliable and wont leave your furry friends under no circumstances! Peter is very professional and knows how to deal with all types of dogs. Thank you Peter!
We've hired Tessa multiple times, and our pets LOVE her. She's always so responsive and has always been able to help out with a last minute request. We get so many cute photos and updates, and we know our pets are so well taken care of when we leave them with Tessa. So thankful we have someone we can trust our pets with. :)
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kingston on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 193 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Kingston. About 77% 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.
