“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!”
“My dog just loves Sara!! She is such a huge help - with me going back into the office I was so upset about having to leave my girl at home and stressed about who would be trustworthy enough to take her out. Sara is beyond trustworthy, flexible, loves dogs, communicates well, always sends pics, and is so kind!! Will be using her as long as I can and would recommend her to anyone looking for a walker :)”

About: ***PRICE TRANSPARENCY: It's come to my attention that Rover service fees are inflating prices for what you can see on my profile. I am not happy about this. I am currently making $19.20 per 30 min drop-in/walk, but the posted price by Rover is much higher <---It was never my intention to charge this much, and I encourage clients to send Rover Support feedback about their fees, pricing and how their hijacking sitters' profiles by doing this. If you are unable to afford the current price, please message me anyway, and I can try to work within your budget. I'm an experienced Foster home, home visit and phone screener previously for a few home based rescues for dogs and cats. I've owned dogs and currently have 4 rescue cats. Adopt, don't shop is how I live. Experience and age (mine lol) matter. I love pets; I've opened my home numerous times to foster animals. I regard myself as an important link in the chain to allow pet owners to keep their pets instead of having to give them up due to having to work outside the home, or other reasons that we confront in rescue :) I collect pet food donations from PetValu partners in the city and give to citizens in need & sanctuaries. I want to make a difference. Creator of Ava's Foundation. I work a hybrid schedule, therefore many days of the week I am available for a drop in to your own place or possibly dog walking before work, during the work day, after work and in the evenings. I try to build up rapport with the dog or cat in question by talking to them as I enter the house, make them feel at ease with my voice in my presence, so that they love to see me and know that I mean fun and games and FOOD. I always make sure that the litter is cleaned or the dog is petted and loved and I’ve even taken care of rabbits who loved to see me because they knew that they would get fun and treats and their living area cleaned and tidied..

“We are so happy to have found Jordan to walk our two Springer girls. She is really lovely - so friendly and helpful and caring. As she is only 5 minutes away and has a fairly flexible schedule we are lucky to be able to book her when needed. We're confident, too, that when we need our girls to stay at her home when we go away, they will be looked after brilliantly. We couldn't be happier.”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newmarket
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.
Emma was perfect for this role, scheduling was an ease. Emma handled my 2 pretty energetic goldens perfectly between their meals and walks, great communication through out the entire visit. Highly recommend and will definitely book with Emma again in the future :)

There are 7,011 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Newmarket. About 85% 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.

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.
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 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!
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
- 88% 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.
