“I'm more than happy with Delaney. Charlie sure likes her and always gets excited when he see's her. When the opportunities arise, Delaney encourages socialization with people and other dogs. I greatly appreciate that. Charlie still pulls hard in front of Delaney, (as he does with me lol) so I would be grateful if she can help me train him to recognize the human as the pack leader. GREAT WORK Delaney. You are appreciated.”

About: I am a life long pet owner and lover! I am newly retired now and have decided my hobby would be pet sitting! My pet sitting experience (1 year so far) has taught me to able able to adapt to all types of doggie personalities as well as being comfortable to give meds when needed. I speak dog and cat extremely well! :-). I am healthy and love getting out for walks and enjoy play time with cats of all types. Interacting and doing things together with animals is the very best way to bond with them and it's just plain FUN! I am flexible and able to accommodate most schedules with notice. I am an early riser and have my own vehicle and that seems to work for walks and outings! At this time I am not able to take pets into my own home due to not having a fully fenced yard. This is something I may consider in the future.

About: I have had a dog my entire life, most recently my boy Tas who I had for 11 great years. I love animals and will treat them with care and respect. I work a set schedule and look after pets on my days off. I have my own space with no other animals. They will be alone for minimal time in my care. I have a fenced yard, one small dog lives upstairs, who is very friendly. We have a forested area with trails where I will walk your pup.

About: I am a currently in grad school, completing my master of nursing, and to maintain my mental health I spend all my free time surrounded by dogs! I will spoil your fur baby with love and affection. I have experience in owning my own dogs for over 30 years. My own soul mate fur baby died one year ago (Australian Shepard - I speak Aussie!), and I endeavor to love all other dogs the way I did him. I have experience with senior and sick dogs, and puppies too! Further, I understand the stress of those of us who work in healthcare but own dogs and worry about them during long shifts, so I would be happy to spend time with your fur baby while you are at work helping others. I have a flexible schedule right now, and might be available last minute if you need it, so pls don't be afraid to ask :) I will ensure you doggo or kitty is comfortable with me. I will spoil them with affection, and scritches and scratches. I will play with them, ensure they have eliminated their bladder and bowels, I will ensure they show me their toys and teach me how to play with them. Most importantly, I will ensure they are safe at all times, including when I leave, with access to water. I am great at following instructions for feeding pets, or providing medication, and following any and all instructions and tips for specific dog care routines.

“I would highly recommend Fiona to any pet parents as your pet sitter. She’s a responsible person. She gives you feedback every time. I’ve used rover more than 50 times, I can tell that Fiona is my dog’s favorite sitter above all other sitters she ever met. My dog would quickly running to my door and wagging her little tail waiting to be picked up by Fiona the second she heard Fiona’s footsteps. She’s just so happy. That never happened to her before with other dog sitters. The bond between my dog and Fiona is amazing. I never told Fiona how much I appreciate her love and patience to my dog because I’m not a girl who’s good at socializing and expressing myself. But the truth is that I can always trust Fiona with my dog because I know she’s in good hands. The smile on my dogs face melted my heart. I truly appreciate it. Thank you Fiona!”

“Amelia is very professional, reliable, and kind. I have a very sensitive and at times anxious pup, and Amelia took the time to come meet him prior so we knew it was the right fit. Amelia is extremely patient and positive with my dog and I would 💯 recommend her services :)”

About: With 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I have a genuine love for animals and understand just how much they mean to their families. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your furry friend loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I always do my best to make them feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, because I know they’re not just pets, they’re family! ❤️🐾 Working from home allows me to be fully present for pets’ needs throughout the day - feeding, walks, playtime, and comfort whenever they need it! I prefer house sitting at the client’s home so pets remain comfortable in their own environment. Keeping their normal routine, sleeping spots, and feeding schedule reduces stress. I also send regular photo updates so owners always have peace of mind!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Merville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Merville is $39 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $39 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 115 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Merville. About 85% of Merville 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 Merville. 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 Merville 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 Merville 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 Merville 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!
