“Melisa was great. Took Piper for a long walk and gave me piece of mind while away for the day. Wouldn't hesitate to have her come again. Thank you so much Melisa! We appreciate your time and dedication.”

“Sofia has been walking our 1.5 year old standard poodle since November and I’d recommend her services without hesitation. Sofia is caring, reliable and responsive, and truly loves animals. Morty absolutely loves his walks with Sofia!”

“Melanie was fantastic with my giant puppy (over 100 pounds and 15 months old). She took great care of him and gave him long walks and lots of treats. He loved having her walk him for my holiday parties. It's great to know someone was coming in to care for him like I do!”

“Jessica did amazing job walking our dog, Kira, while I was out of town. She is such a caring and loving person! Jessica met us up ahead of booking to get familiar with Kira and talked to us to ensure that she got Kira’s needs right. She always responded to our messages promptly. While walking the dog, Jessica picked the routine per the weather/temperature and ensured Kira enjoyed the routine. She noted the details in the Rover Card after each walk. We appreciate Jessica’s help and love to recommend her to anyone needs help walking dogs!”

About: I grew up with various pets and have always loved animals. I was trusted to walk and feed neighborhood dogs on numerous occasions. My family dog lived 13 years and our cat lived 20. I got my own dog as a puppy 5 years ago and did her training. I also got a kitten last year. I am currently working at home full time I have my own business and have a pretty flexible schedule for morning or afternoon pet care throughout the week I live in a quiet street with lots of green space and parks and trails close by. My dog is friendly and always loves a friend to play with. I also have a crate and baby gate if needed.
About: I do live in NewMarket and cant drive so if you live super far you can only book me for weekends. I am a dedicated person with a loving personality I can work at almost anytime just give me a time a date and information and I'm your girl I currently work from home so I have a lot of time on my hands. I've got a passion and love for animals. I have my whole life I have my own cats two to be exact both tabby cats and one gray and one orange both very loving boys. Toby (gray tabby) is cautious but gentle. Leo (orange tabby) is a BIG scardy cat but loves food and once fed is aggressively affectionate.
“Ariel is great with my dog Sydney! Sydney is shy with strangers but warmed up to Ariel very quickly. Ariel is very punctual and reliable. I highly recommend her for your dog walker/sitter.”

“Katherine was a fantastic choice for Bella. As soon as I met her and went on a trial walk with her and Bella, I knew it was going to work out beautifully. Bella was excited to see her every day, and never had a single problem during her walks. I received regular updates via the app, and also from my sister who was here during the day. I'll definitely book her again when I need to have someone walk Bella.”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover Offering Personalized Care—Because Your Dog Deserves the Best I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. My days revolve around my own dogs and their comfort—and your pup will be treated with that same level of love, attention, and care. As a mature, responsible caregiver with excellent communication, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, along with walks tailored to their individual needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I’m experienced with all stages of life. I live in a house with a yard and two dogs of my own. I only take one dog (or two from same household) at a time so it’s not too much excitement. Or I’ll come to your home as needed!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. I’ve had dogs of my own for many years, and I’ve always felt that animals have their own personalities, quirks and needs. I really enjoy getting to know them and figuring out what makes them comfortable and happy. I currently have two large, reactive dogs of my own, so I know firsthand that not every dog is comfortable around other dogs or enjoys the typical busy dog-walking environment. Living with reactive dogs has taught me a lot about patience, reading body language, managing triggers and, most importantly, giving dogs the space they need to feel safe and relaxed. I’ve also been involved in fostering dogs through a rescue in Thailand. Being part of their journey and helping dogs who have had difficult starts in life has made me even more passionate about animal welfare and giving dogs the patience, understanding and care they deserve. I’m starting my dog-walking service because I genuinely love spending time with dogs and thought it would be a great way to do something I enjoy while helping other dog owners in my community. I’m new to offering dog walking professionally, but I bring a lifetime of experience as a dog owner, experience with reactive dogs and rescue dogs, and a very caring and responsible approach. My walks are 30 minutes and are one-on-one, so your dog gets my full attention. I like to let dogs take their time sniffing, exploring and enjoying their walk rather than rushing them from one place to another. I’m happy to walk puppies, adult dogs and seniors, and I’m especially happy to work with dogs who prefer some space from other dogs or aren't suited to busy group walks. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person looking after your dog. I’ll treat your dog as an individual, follow the routines and instructions you give me, and keep their safety and comfort at the top of my list. I’m based in the Newmarket area and am starting with a small number of clients so I can give each dog plenty of attention. I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and hopefully become their new favourite walking buddy! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to offer walks throughout the day and evening, and can be quite flexible with timing. It also means I have plenty of time to give each dog the individual attention and care they deserve. My services are currently focused exclusively on dog walking, so I do not provide boarding or pet sitting in my home or in clients’ homes. For dog walks, I provide one-on-one, 30-minute walks where your dog gets my full attention. I’ll follow your instructions regarding your dog’s leash, harness, walking routine and any specific needs or preferences. I’m happy to let dogs set their own pace, stop and sniff, and enjoy their time outside rather than rushing through the walk. Safety and comfort are my priorities. I’m comfortable giving dogs the space they need, including dogs who are nervous, easily overwhelmed or reactive around other dogs. I have two large reactive dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of being aware of triggers and reading a dog’s body language. After each walk, I’ll make sure your dog is safely back home and will provide a brief update about how the walk went.
About: Hi! I’m Chelsea. What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and needs. I’ve cared for smaller dogs with health concerns, walked medium-sized dogs, and provided care for larger breeds. I’m also comfortable giving medications both orally and topically when needed. I have experience with puppy care and use positive reinforcement techniques to help with basic training and good behaviors. Most importantly, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I work part-time with short shifts a few days per week, so my schedule is very flexible with the right notice. Your pets won’t be left alone for long, I make sure they get the attention, care, and comfort they deserve while you’re away When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, and enjoy walks or outside time if needed. I keep their space clean and cozy and offer lots of attention, whether your pet prefers cuddles or just quiet company. I treat your home and your pets with respect, giving them the same level of care I give my own.
“Can’t thank Isabel and Matthew enough. Had a work contract and my grandmothers finals days/funeral all come up in the same week. They were both super responsive and reassuring to know my dogs were in good care. Handled and cared for my dogs as if they were their own. Bonus for being able to handle two very strong dogs. 10/10 would recommend them again to anyone else and would rebook them in a heartbeat. Thanks again Isabel and Matthew, from Terrence, Koda, and Hilary.”

About: As an avid animal lover and dedicated pet care specialist, I am thrilled to bring over ten years of invaluable experience to the forefront of my personal resume! My journey in the world of pet care began with genuine passion for fostering nurturing relationships with dogs and cats, turning my love into a rewarding and fulfilling profession. I love exploring the outdoors and local trails with furry friends, giving one on one attention to your family member is my way of ensuring their safety and mental stimulation is elevated and of top concern! By setting realistic expectations I book in clients according to my availability for each week, only taking on new clients when I can. Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm I am ready to go! Meet and greets are essential to my care routine, I need to meet new clients and their loved one in their environment to ensure everyone is comfortable. A game plan is created together, to discuss requirements for individual care.
About: I spent a huge portion of my teenage-hood on a horse farm, surrounded by cats, dogs and horses. Last year a hosted a foster dog (4 y.o. Lab Mix) named Hippo with Redemption Paws (Non-for-Profit dog adoption organization in Ontario), and it was the most wonderful and gratifying experience, it taught me a lot about how dogs with anxiety should be approached and treated (Hippo went from hating his crate to chilling in it throughout the day within the 1.5 months I had him, all through positive reinforcement!). I often do dog walking and dog- and baby- sitting for friends and acquaintances on different occasions, as my love for animals and children constantly pushes me to be closer to them, especially if it helps their families. In Ukraine, where I moved from at the age of 17 back in 2017, I established a student volunteer organization to collectively feed and treat stray animals (gathering donations, etc). Right now in my own household I have two cats, but believe me when I say I am waiting for an opportunity to add a dog to our family pet division. By reading certified books on animal psychology (my favourite: “Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?” I've got a complete understanding of animal and pet main needs. The further I go through life, the more I realize how pets should be treated the same as respectful humans treat one another. I treat animals as equal companions, and communicate with them accordingly: with the use of positive reinforcement, physical encouragement like scratches, redirection of attention if needed, and engaging activities. My main goal while taking care of your pet is always to make sure they feel loved just the way they are loved by you, therefore I created a poll for my clients to fill out so that I know the best approach to each animal (provided after we start communication). With my endless energy resources, your pets won’t have the time to miss their beloved owner! Upon connecting, I always prefer to set up a call with my clients in order to talk through their expectations, routines, and any special preferences and notes before the first visit. I am rather flexible when it comes to dog sitting and dog walking, as well as cat care. The most important rule for me before spending time with your furry friend is to know how they interact with other dogs, and any information to note while being outside (squirrel/car reactivity, etc.) Weekdays I am flexible as I work from home (marketing coordinator) Weekends can be arranged for a full day or any time if agreed at least 4 days beforehand. Last minute inquiries are welcome in case I have an open window on a weekend. I follow the owner’s instructions to make sure the pup / kitty feels loved and taken care of. Each animal is unique and I find the right approach with your help!
“Eleni responded to a last minute emergency situation the night before we needed someone to look after our pups for a few days. She made quick friends of our two retrievers the next morning, and everything went smoothly with regular updates. Highly recommended, thanks again!”

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior pets, and comfortable giving medications when needed. I also focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and comfortable while making sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m flexible with scheduling and enjoy building routines that help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleaning, medications if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment while also keeping the space clean and tidy. I always prioritize patience, safety, and clear communication with owners through regular updates and photos.

Katherine was a fantastic choice for Bella. As soon as I met her and went on a trial walk with her and Bella, I knew it was going to work out beautifully. Bella was excited to see her every day, and never had a single problem during her walks. I received regular updates via the app, and also from my sister who was here during the day. I'll definitely book her again when I need to have someone walk Bella.

Jennah is reliable, caring, and was wonderful with Casper. I could tell she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Communication was easy and consistent. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!

We used their dog-walking services over the summer for our big Cane Corso mix, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Our dog can be a little challenging with separation anxiety and pulling, but they handled him so well and were incredibly patient and professional. We would 100% recommend their services to anyone with a larger breed, especially if your dog needs a little extra patience and care!
My Aunt and Uncle were looking after our dog while we were on vacation. Melanie walked our dog everyday while we were on vacation. I’ve never used a dog walking service before and Melanie was amazing. Very conscientious, wanting to know if our dog had any allergies. She gave us updates everyday on his walks. Our dog loved Melanie and looked forward to his daily walk. Thank you so much Melanie for treating our dog so well and making this such a good experience. Highly recommend Melanie’s services.

Sara was amazing! She walked our very energetic young dog when we left him with my in-laws over the holidays. They were very impressed with her ability to handle our hyper pup. She was very kind and friendly with him on walks, and the in-laws liked Sara a lot. Super grateful for her dog walking services!!

I highly recommend Sarah to look after your beloved fur baby. My elderly mother was doggie sitting for me but unable to take Lola for walks. Sarah was accommodating, flexible and genuinely interested in providing Lola with lots of love and attention. Sarah's love for dogs is evident by her gentle approach. She interacts with patience and kindness. Will definately rebook Sarah next time I need the help.

There are 6,857 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Newmarket. About 86% of Newmarket 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 Newmarket. 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 Newmarket.
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 Newmarket 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.

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 Newmarket 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!

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.
