“John and Vanessa are amazing, from our meet and greet to the walk they are both so kind and patient. Our boy can be anxious on walks but John was great giving him time to get comfortable and played with him. Will definitely re-book and highly recommend them”

About: Hey I’m Charmaine ♡ I’ve had years of experience taking care of dogs. I love playing with dogs and taking them out for walks. My friends/neighbours have trusted me to take care of their pets when they’re busy. I work from home during the weekdays, so I’m usually available throughout the day. Feel free to message me if you’re ever looking for someone to care for your pups for the day/overnight - I’d be happy to help! 😊 I have a friendly pup of my own who is sweet, calm, and easygoing. She loves meeting and socializing with other dogs, and she’ll be happy to keep your pups company during their stay. 🐶💕

“Bernice was great! First time using Rover and she was flexible and easy to communicate with. She invited Zack and I to come and meet her outside her place so we could meet her dog Gala before they went off together. Zack had not eaten that morning and Bernice was kind enough to spoil him by hand feeding him! -I think both were entertained for the day! I have no hesitation in recommending Bernice look after your pet.”

About: My journey started as a volunteer at dog and cat shelters before I have any pets myself. I’ve cared for pets as a foster, TrustedHousesitter, and a cat mom for over 4 years. I also grew up with my grandma’s dogs, so I’m familiar with both cats and dogs of different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to create a calm, loving, and consistent environment while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular feeding, playtime, and cuddles - or quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer. I live in a spacious townhouse that’s clean, quiet, and pet-safe, perfect for boarding or drop-in visits. If I’m staying at your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give my own space, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in a familiar environment.
About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.
About: I primarily focus on cat care and have hands-on experience taking care of my own cat. I understand daily routines such as feeding, litter cleaning, and interactive play. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to a cat’s behavior and comfort level. I am experienced with playful and curious cats, and I always ensure interactions are safe and stress-free. I prefer working with cats to provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel secure and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I am able to dedicate consistent time to caring for cats throughout the day. I can provide regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention based on your cat’s routine. I maintain a very clean and hygienic environment. I vacuum daily and clean the litter box at least twice a day to ensure comfort and cleanliness. I also provide regular grooming care, including cleaning around the eyes and face, wiping paws, and maintaining overall hygiene. I pay close attention to small details to keep cats comfortable and well cared for. When needed, I use pet-safe natural insect repellent before outdoor exposure and keep up with routine parasite prevention to protect against fleas and ticks.
“Wing Shan is a very excellent sitter for your dogs 🐶 and cats 😺. She is a good communicator and really knows how to do her job well. My dog, Caeser, is enjoying his weekly walks with her ❤️”

About: Hello, I'm Ansley. I've been looking after my own cats since they were three months old. I have 2 cats at home and I’ve taken care of cats with special medical needs. As a devoted pet lover, you can trust that your beloved companion will receive exceptional care and affection while you’re not around, ensuring their happiness and well-being. For me, pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Each day, I make sure there’s time set aside for feeding, fresh water, and playtime, or just cuddling on the couch. I clean up after them regularly, like tidying up litter boxes or bedding, and if they need grooming or medication, I handle that too. It’s not just a task for me—it’s a chance to connect with them and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I work their routines into my day naturally, so it feels seamless and personal for both of us. I ensure all pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in any environment. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their routines, providing daily feeding and hydration, exercise and play, and hygiene maintenance, such as cleaning litter boxes and grooming when needed. I recognize that each pet has unique needs and personalities, so please share your pet’s routines and preferences so we can create a comfortable, stress-free environment tailored just for them.
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for over 2 years and run a full pet-loving household of my own — a Border Collie puppy, a Siberian Forest Cat, and a British Shorthair. Raising a high-energy puppy means I'm comfortable with leash work, crate routines, and active breeds, and I'm patient and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace. I can give oral medication, handle nail trims and brushing, and I make my own healthy dehydrator treats. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Mandarin. I work from home full-time, so pet care isn't squeezed into spare time — it's my main focus all day, every day of the week. Your pet is rarely left alone for long. I keep consistent feeding, walking, and play times, and I'm happy to do up to 4 walks a day plus regular backyard play. Because I'm flexible and always home, I can easily match my routine to your pet's normal schedule rather than forcing them into a new one. Safety is the first thing I set up. I have pet gates on the stairs of every floor, so cats and dogs are kept completely separate and never mix. Boarding cats stay upstairs, where each family's cat gets their own private, dog-free room, while dogs stay on the main floor and in a fully fenced, escape-proof backyard. I currently board cats already, I monitor every guest's appetite, litter, energy, and mood daily, and I can give oral medication exactly on schedule.

About: I have a cute corgi girl named Yumi and I have been taking care of my friend’s dogs(including Shiba Inu/Alaskan Malamute/Golden Retriever/Bichon Frise)for a few days when they are absent. I'm currently working at home which gives me a lot of time to take care of your dog.My Corgi is also a cute dog who is happy to play with others. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby safe and happy to run and play around,also my corgi girl will play with him/her.
About: Hi! My name is Monique. I bring genuine love, patience, and connection to every animal I care for. Animals are more than pets, they’re family. I treat the ones I care for with the same respect, attention, and affection I would my own. I am trained in dog CPR and First Aid, which gives owners added peace of mind knowing their pet is in safe and capable hands. I also grew up with a beautiful black and brown male Doberman Pinscher named Ninja. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and attentive care. My experience started young, caring for family members’ and neighbors’ pets, and I’ve always loved being around animals. Ninja regularly had playdates with other dogs, which helped me learn even more about socialization, behavior, and how different dogs interact. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks, reinforcing positive habits, and keeping them active through walks, play, and mental stimulation. My favorite games to play with dogs are hide and seek and fetch. I also love to see how happy they get when they hear the word "walk". The excitement is very adorable and in return brings me great joy. I don't currently own a dog, but I’m happy to regularly help care for two beloved family dogs who visit on weekends. A sweet female senior Shih Tzu and an energetic six-year-old female Giant Schnauzer. I treat them like my own, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me valuable hands on experience. From providing gentle attention and comfort to senior pets to keeping active dogs engaged and happy, I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves loving, reliable care. I am available full time for your pet. Pet care fits well into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate different care needs as required. Pets in my care are provided with a safe, structured, and attentive environment. I provide trustworthy care and make sure every walk and visit is safe, positive, and stress free. I can also care for pets in your home, following all instructions and specific needs you provide.
“Thank you so much again, both of you 🙏 For helping walk Caeser tonight! It was great meeting Fuji as well 🐾🥰 I'm sure they both had fun and will definitely book with you again in the future!”

About: Hello! I'm Amrit. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, senior pets, and small animals, I go beyond basic pet sitting. I provide personalized, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Plus, I am dog + cat CPR/First Aid certified as well! 🩹 I have experience with senior pet care and keeping up with energetic dogs and cats.

Having been surrounded by animals my whole life, I truly understand and respect their needs. I assure you your pet will be in caring, capable hands with me! 🐶🐱💕 **NOTE** For daycare and boarding, I typically take 1 pet at a time only. 2 pets at a time are considered if they come from the same parents. As a student with classes 3 times a week (during the school year), and a home that’s always occupied, I have plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. My mom is always ready to lend a hand and help out when needed, so your furry friend gets even more care and attention. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, your furry friends will always be in good hands! *NOTE* I do this part-time; other bookings and personal commitments may result in limited availability. My Home: A secure fenced yard, a scenic trail right outside for daily walks, and two nearby dog parks for social pups! 🏡 Safety and trust always come first for me, so in-person meet-and-greets are mandatory before confirming any booking! Virtual meets are also offered under certain circumstances. I ask a list of important questions during screening to make sure your pet and my space are a great match. This helps pets feel comfortable early on and lets me better understand their personality, routine, and care style. It makes the whole experience smoother, safer, and way more fun for everyone! Certified in Dog & Cat First Aid, I provide attentive and responsible care, ensuring your pet is always in good hands. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs. Every pet deserves personalized love and care! First-aid Skills & Capabilities ✅: - Oral medication administration - Monitor basic vitals (breathing and heart rate) - Do quick ABC wellness checks (airway, breathing, circulation) - CPR and anti-choking steps - Support first-aid care (wound cleaning, bandaging, + minor bleeding control) - Adjust to special needs *Please note I am not comfortable administering injected medications (insulin, NSAIDS, arthritis meds, etc.) due to lack of hands-on experience* Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to replicate their routine to keep them happy and stress-free 😊
About: Hi! I’m a professional nurse, a trilingual communicator (EN/粵/國), and an experienced cat caregiver. On top of raising my own two cats from kittenhood—my eldest is now 5 years old—I am the go-to cat sitter for my friends whenever they travel. Combining my RN medical instincts with years of personal and trusted friend-care, I offer attentive, safe, and stress-free sitting so you can travel with absolute peace of mind!

As a dedicated cat specialist, I provide care exclusively in the comfort of your home, where your cat feels safest. My priority is keeping their exact routine to minimize any stress while you are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Markham
I was so nervous about leaving my particular Shiba, Hachi, with a walker but Selina is fantastic! She is so good with dogs, even one as picky as Hachi! Hachi had a great time with Selina, he loves her! I feel so relieved to finally found someone who understands Hachi!!

Ahsoka enjoyed her walks with Kelly. She was always on time and took great care of her—our dog was always happy to see her! Kelly was attentive and kind, and she answered all our questions before taking care of Ahsoka. She was patient and reliable, and she even lent Ahsoka one of her dog’s coats. Thank you, Kelly, for being so kind and helpful with Ahsoka!
Our dogs took to Bernice right away! My parents are older, so we booked her to walk our dogs for 7 days while we were away. She kept us updated with cute photos and description of how each walk went - we knew by the way she wrote that she was taking good care of them. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our fur babies were in good hands!

Hiring Niroji was such a last-minute decision, but wow — a choice that exceeded our expectations. She took such incredible care of our Logan. When we got home, he wasn’t just happy to see us — he was calm and relaxed, which is so unlike him after we’ve been away. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about trying Rover for the first time… but with everything that happened on that last day with Logan, I couldn’t have imagined a better person to trust with him. Her constant and consistent updates, honesty, and genuine care meant the world to us. She’s truly a gem, and I’m beyond grateful we found her! We will definitely be rebooking with her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Markham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Markham on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of June 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 6,806 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Markham. About 85% of Markham 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 Markham. 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 Markham.
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 Markham 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 Markham 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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
