“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: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a German Shepherd/Husky mix, and caring for her has taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, enrichment, patience, and understanding that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re apart. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so you can see how they’re doing. As a Queen’s University student with most of my classes online, I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they have plenty of exercise, enrichment, fresh food and water, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and will always respect both your home and your pet’s routine. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away.
“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!”
“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!”
“Terra-Lee, is a major life-saver! I recently moved to Kingston and in the middle of moving-in, organizing, and new job orientation. Terra-Lee was able to help me on such short notice with Marco. I sincerely appreciate”
“Thomas has been such a great help with coming to walk Benson during the day as I’m working longer hours recently. Always great communication and fast replies, friendly and reliable. Would recommend if you and your pet are looking for help.”
“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”
“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.”
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.
“Luke is the dog whisperer. He is so great with our two dogs Monty and Loki. With the dogs having different needs, Luke quickly understood them and made the accommodations to make sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. Thanks Luke, you’re awesome!”
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!
“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!”
About: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet. We have a fully fenced yard and a spacious home where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, runs, or simply lounging and getting plenty of affection, I'll tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding for families while they're at work or away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate your pet's regular routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and a spacious, pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel secure. I always follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines, and I provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“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!💗 🐶🐱🐰”
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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Kingston is $22
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
Terra has been walking Porter all summer for his 30-minute noon walks and she has been fantastic! Since this was Porter’s first time having a dog walker, it was important to me that he was comfortable and happy — and he loves Terra! He enjoys his walks and it’s obvious that she genuinely cares about him. I love knowing he’s getting some exercise and attention in the middle of his day. Terra is also kind, dependable, and communicates clearly, which I really appreciate. We’ve had such a great experience with her and would highly recommend her!
Maya has been walking Porter all summer for his 30-minute noon walks, and I couldn’t be happier! This was Porter’s first experience with a dog walker and Maya made the transition so easy. He loves seeing her and clearly enjoys her calmness and time with her. It’s been great knowing he’s getting some exercise and a little break in his day while I’m at work. I also really appreciate Maya’s clear communication, reliability, and kindness. She’s been wonderful with Porter, and I would definitely recommend her!
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.
