“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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 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.
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: 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!
“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!”
“I booked Anthony and was really impressed. He was on time, took great care of my dog, and sent a quick update that gave me total peace of mind. My pup came back happy and relaxed. Would definitely book Anthony again.”
About: With over 26 years of experience as a pet parent to 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bunny and 2 guinea pigs, I now share my life with my greyhound, Bree. I'm certified in Pet First Aid and hold a Professional Pet Care Certificate, and I've volunteered with the Ontario SPCA since May 2015. I'm also pursuing certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and Pet Massage Practitioner, and Bree & I are both proud members of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program. Giving back matters to me too: 10% of my profits go to an animal shelter of your choice, or I'm happy to pick one for you! In your home, I provide attentive daytime and evening care, including dog walks, meals, fresh water, baths, and litter box cleanup (and any other messes along the way!), plus plenty of play and cuddle time. I administer oral and topical medications as needed, and I log the date, time, and details of every visit so you always know exactly how things went. I also offer house-sitting support: collecting mail, newspapers, and packages; watering plants; and putting your garbage and recycling bins out on their scheduled days. I have a flexible work from home job that allows me to be flexible for your furry baby's need. That said, two day notice in advance would be ideal for me to move things around to accommodate your needs. I have a cat-like personality greyhound who is 5 year old. She loves her naps and if you looking for a friend for your furry friend who can provide some calm energy, look no further!
About: I love all animals and believe each one needs attention and care. I have cared for senior dogs with health issues such as blindness, deafness, and paralysis. I have cared for and trained puppies with walking, chewing and potty training. . I have a very flexible schedule currently that allows me to be available for dog sitting, walking, and drop ins. I usually reply within an hour. I always ask if we can do a meet and greet prior to watching the dog to be sure the dog is comfortable with me. I am very attentive to the pets needs such as affection and attention, space, playing, hunger, and health.
“Natasha was quick to respond when I initially contacted her. She provided excellent services and gave me updates as to how the walk went and provided photos. Very pleasant experience. Thanks again Natasha ?”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Jessie. From day one, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she is. Jessie always came back from walks happy, calm, and well-exercised. I really appreciate Amy’s professionalism, great communication, and genuine love for dogs. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve walked dogs from small to large and from friendly to reactive. I went to Seneca college for Veterinary assistant where I learned to care for all animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, and rats. I’ve worked at both vet clinics and doggie daycares. At the doggie daycare I learned how to identify certain dog behaviour and how to handle breeds from small to large. My own dog was rescued and dealt with a lot of anxiety. After training she is now a fully off leash and care free dog. I’m currently working full time as a kennel attendant. I don’t have a set schedule but I can make time during the week for all your needs. I’m available weekdays depending on when I work and i’m available weekends also depending on when I work. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your dog company. If you prefer your dog not to interact with mine I can easily crate her. I also can crate your dog if you’d like to as well.
About: I’ve always been good with animals, especially dogs. I’ve taken care of my own dogs for a decade and walked neighbors dogs in the past I’m currently working at a resuraunt on weekends, and am available all days and times during the week. Schedule with me a day before to book with me! I will provide a safe and clean environment for your dogs, making sure to follow any specific requests the owner has for me. Making sure to get exercise and rest.
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I love all animals, of all sizes. They all have their own unique personalities, which I enjoy getting to know and cater to. I come from the corporate world and decided to take a well deserved break to do what I love most, spending time with our furry friends. You can count on me, in a pinch, or on a regular basis. I have experience with medication dispensing, caring for elderly dogs, or timid dogs. I find a way to make every animal feel at ease. I am flexible with my hours. and time, and with any last minute changes. Your pet will feel loved and right at home with me, in your home, or in mine.
“I had such a wonderful experience with her! She is an incredibly kind, sweet, and caring young lady who is truly trustworthy, responsible, and reliable. She was punctual, organized, and professional, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I’m extremely happy with her service and couldn’t recommend her more! If you’re looking for an amazing dog walker who is dependable, caring, and trustworthy, look no further! I highly recommend connecting with her. You won’t be disappointed! ❤️🐾”
“I hired Vanessa to come by to walk my dog at the last minute when I had some plans come up. She was great! Followed all directions and sent lots of photos. I hope she can come hang out with Tee again!”

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!
We have had Ireland walk our 8 yr old red lab a few days a week for the past few weeks now and I would highly recommend her! She is super friendly, communicative, and our dog loves her! She has now become a regular, and we're very grateful for her & she's helped us out immensely with our out of town schedules. 🙏 We chose her because her familiarity with labs, and it shows! Thank you!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Newmarket is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 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 6,899 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 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 Newmarket 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 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.
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 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!
