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-Monday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing for the remainder of the week as well! 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!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds.

I have an 8-year-old high-energy, reactive Vizsla of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with big personalities, strong energy levels, and unique behavioural needs. Because of this, I’m attentive and confident working with dogs of all temperaments. I understand the importance of reading body language and adapting to what each dog needs to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable walking dogs on or off-leash depending on what they’re used to and what you’re comfortable with, and I always prioritize your pet’s routine, training style, and individual needs.

I’m available for dog walking throughout the week and can be flexible with timing depending on your dog’s routine. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to accommodate last minute requests, longer walks, and pets who need extra attention, exercise, or companionship during the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, walking preferences, and training styles. I have extensive experience with high-energy and reactive dogs, so I’m very attentive on walks, aware of surroundings, and confident handling different situations calmly and safely. I’m comfortable walking dogs on or off-leash depending on what they’re used to and what you’re comfortable with, and I always respect your pet’s individual needs and boundaries.

I don’t have any of my own pets, and I communicate clearly with owners, provide updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“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!💗 🐶🐱🐰”

Courtney was really wonderful with Bowie! She took excellent care of him and was attentive to his individual needs. Communication and updates were great throughout, and I felt confident he was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!
Cassandra was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice, great communication and updates, flexible schedule, and took great care of Chumpley when I was at work! She understood the potential risks associated with him being a new rescue, although he is very friendly and sweet there are still a lot of unknowns with rescues, and she was great with him
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. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Kingston is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $40 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 199 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Kingston. About 84% 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 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 Kingston 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 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.
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 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!
