“Heather is wonderful with Luna and she is very accommodating and responsive. We use her 4-5 times a week to walk Luna during the day and occasionally in the evenings. I highly recommend Heather.”
“Jayden went above and beyond with our pup. She was reliable, consistent, and spent time working with him on his leash skills. Whenever any issues came up while we were away, she handled them thoughtfully and found effective solutions. It was a huge bonus that she has experience with dog training and was knowledgeable about my dog’s breed. I felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care, and I will absolutely be hiring Jayden again. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna provided excellent care for the dogs, walking them sometimes longer than the one hour a dayI had booked. She is a warm and personable person. The dogs took to her instantly. I found her to be responsible and very helpful! Thank you Jenna!”
“Stefanie is such a good dog walker and has great attention to detail. She shows up on time, leaves a great summary of the walk and takes great photos of Goose. I will have her as my dog walker ongoing for sure”
“Laura was great with my golden retriever Baby. They went for a long walk. During walk Baby met his friend, another golden retriever, and they played together. Baby was exercised and very happy after the walk 😊”
“Our sensitive senior dog loved Katie which won our trust and heart - we were so happy - she was punctual, met all commitments and treated our dog with kindness and respect. We highly recommend hiring Katie!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for dogs and cats. I’ve had five dogs of my own - two Black Labs, a Great Dane, a Yorkie, and a Basset Hound, as well as two cats. Having such a variety of pets has made me comfortable caring for animals of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets, both my own and those of friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel happiest and most comfortable. I truly love spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to give them the kind of care they’re used to while you’re away. I am currently attending Western university full-time. I have lots of breaks in my schedule throughout the week so I would love to come entertain your pet in those breaks! I would also be happy to visit before my classes start in the morning or after they are finsihed in the afternoon/evening! I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority while following their usual routine and any instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with respect, follow all house rules, and respect your privacy. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
About: I specialize in caring for high-energy dogs who need more than just a walk. As the owner of a young, energetic American Labrador, Reni, I understand how important exercise, patience, enrichment, and mental stimulation are for dogs with lots of energy. Reni has taught me how to channel that energy in positive ways through training, enrichment activities, scent work, and engaging play. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up with family dogs and other animals. I also have experience caring for neighbours’ pets and have developed hands-on experience with positive reinforcement and managing some dog reactivity through my own dog. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about helping high-energy dogs feel happy, fulfilled, and well cared for. I work an 8am-4pm schedule from home, allowing for some flexibility during the day and I can largely accomodate walks before and after work and on weekends. I strive to make your time away as stress free as possible for your pet. By following their regular routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection and excercise.
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as rabbits and gerbils! I have experience with reactive dogs. I seem to have a calming influence on them, and they respond well to me. I am a lover of all kinds of animals, and look forward to working with your furry companions. I am currently self employed in sewing and design. My schedule is very flexible and can accommodate short visits or house sitting when needed. Preference for dog walking and short visits in the Downtown London area. House sitting across London. During my visits I will feed, walk, and spend quality time with you pets. I will also clean up as needed, i.e. litter boxes and accidents.
“Fiona took great care of Rex, and we appreciated the updates, pictures, and feedback of how his walks went! We noticed that Rex has been walking better (and less reactive) on the leash since he began working with Fiona. We’re glad to have Fiona take care of Rex, and will be returning clients!”
About: Having begun walking neighborhood dogs as a teenager, I have plenty of experience. I am an avid researcher into positive training methods, and have wanted to work with dogs since I was a child. I currently work only a few hours a week in Retail, and volunteer at the humane society. I have taken and received certification for fear free handling of pets in the shelter environment- a transferable skill for kennelling In my off time, I’m working with my own dog, who I have trained from puppyhood. I had my own reactive rescue lab from (his)ages 5-14, and raised two puppies since. The youngest is a 3yr gsd mix. My dog experience is focused mostly around large dogs and puppies. Up to 89lbs As to cats, I have raised two kittens. One lived to 9 before the cancer. One is still growing strong. Matt is my senior boy, whom I have had for 12 years now.
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby in someone else’s care and even though it was just a walk, Tank seems very happy. She included pictures and communication was very good!! Will be booking with Mackenzie again💙🐾”
About: I currently work at a veterinary clinic with emergency clinic experience. That said, I am capable of recognizing signs of illness or distress quickly and am able to act immediately should something arise, as well as capable and confident administering medication orally and subsubcutaneously. Working with and having dogs since a young age allows me to understand and provide your pet with their unique requirements. I am more than happy to work with any individual and/or special care needed. My experience and passion extends beyond dogs and cats as I have owned and cared for birds, reptiles, freshwater fish and rodents. I work full time but in 12hr shifts allowing 3-4 full days of time dedicated to your pets. I am available Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays and most Saturdays. I only offer services at your home at the moment but am happy to work with you to ensure I understand the needs of your pet and keep any changes to their regular routine to minimum or no change whenever possible while you're away.

Aida was so sweet and understandable with my schedule. She was able to accommodate with the time requested and certain detail of Bella. Bella absolutely loved the time with Aida. As she came back very calmed and relaxed. She is effective communicator and glad thay Bella felt safe. Will definitely recommend and will be rebooking for future walks 😊
Amanda did such a great job with Brady! He’s usually pretty hesitant with new dog walkers at first, but whatever Amanda did made him feel completely comfortable and at ease right away. She was patient, attentive, and clearly took the time to build trust with him. Not only did she handle him wonderfully, but she also gave him a great walk that left him happy, relaxed, and well-exercised afterward. It’s obvious that Amanda genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. Brady absolutely loved his time with her and can’t wait to see Amanda again soon!
Fiona is wonderful, she’s reliable and great with my dog, and in addition to dog walking Fiona has taken good care of my home and my cat and dog while I was out of town. My animals are excited to see her, and I’m grateful for her services, it has been incredibly helpful!
Samantha is fantastic! Her rates are very reasonable, and she clearly knows a lot about dogs. She handled my dog Moka, who can be a handful, with patience and confidence. Moka came back happy after their walk. I really appreciate the care and knowledge she brings — highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in London 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 541 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in London. About 84% of London 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 London. 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 London.
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 London 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 London 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 walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
