About: I am a pet lover, having owned several cats, guinea pigs & hamsters over the years. I love all breeds of dogs. Over the past 15 years, we owned a bichon and a maltese and I have enjoyed looking after my friends' and neighbours' dogs whenever they needed someone. I received my Pet First Aid Certificate in 2020 and I renewed it in 2025. I believe all dogs are special and I promise I will treat your pet as my own. I am available for dog walks, even in cold temperatures or temporary sitting at your home or mine. I am available weekdays and evening and weekends. One day notice before booking preferred or additional fees will apply bookings. I have a fenced-in yard & many doggy supplies such as beds, pee pads, dog bags, food bowls, leashes and treats. My family is usually at home to help out should I need them. We are a family of dog lovers! Please note, doggy daycare is an 8 hour day. Additional charges will apply ($10 an hour) and overnight is a 12 hour period. I accept most breeds of young to adult dogs up to 25 lbs. I am operating full-time as a Rover representative. Apart from my responsibilities for our own dog, I am available for most services on weekdays and weekends. Just check my calendar. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed to.

About: I’ve had animals all my life. From fish and hamsters, to cats and dogs. When I wasn’t caring for my own, I was always eager to support my friends, family, and neighbours to care for their most cherished family members. I have especially always had a soft spot for senior dogs. Most recently with my senior girl, I’ve become better versed in medical issues as well. I mainly work from home, a few odd days in office here and there, for the most part my days can be fairly flexible! I love going for walks and exploring and I love love love a companion! I have a fenced yard and I never let my dog out without me present. I also have a fairly organized home that’s free of potential hazards for dogs. My girl was mischievous and always found things I did not even know could be a hazard, over the 10 years she was here I became very aware of how to dog proof a home.

“Emma was incredibly patient and good with Snow, my foster dog, who came out of the shelter extremely afraid of people and helps him come out of his shell and more comfortable with other people around. Emma is extremely accommodating, she lets you know if there might be any changes to her scheduled which may affect the walk, gives great updates of your pet and is overall extremely kind to both the pet and the owner. I highly recommend using her service, as well as I will continue to be a customer with her with my foster dogs in the future as well as my border collie.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little, giving me years of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Your pet will always be treated with patience, safety, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to schedule morning, afternoon, or early evening appointments, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s puppy playtime, a calm stroll with a senior dog, or regular check-ins, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their routine and yours. When I’m pet sitting, I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment calm and familiar, give them lots of attention, and make sure they always feel safe. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pup is doing. I provide safe, structured walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether they need a slow stroll, a quick potty break, or a longer, more active walk.

About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client. I always treat your animals like my own! Love, care, cuddles, compassion, walks, playtime, and trust. I will always be respectful of your home and rules. I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play! Other pets will NOT be in my home during visits, so your pet will receive all the attention! Trails close by to go for long walks! Lots of blankets and toys to keep them comfortable!

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for over 13 years, and I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs! From senior dogs requiring medication and caring for my own dog with epilepsy, to energetic pups needing patience and training, I’ve experienced it all. I’ve also adopted a formerly feral cat, helping her feel safe, comfortable, and loved, training her myself and teaching her to be an indoor cat. I’ve watched birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish as well. I truly believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and individual attention, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a full time student at Seneca College, working toward my degree in Behavioural Psychology! My classes alternate between Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but since they’re all online, I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available day or night, weekdays or weekends, and I’m always happy to help with last minute needs, holidays, emergencies, or simply giving your furry friend some extra love and attention when life gets busy! Your pets’ happiness and well being are always a priority to me! I believe every pet deserves a safe, loving, and enriching environment! My own cat, for example, is incredibly spoiled, with a filtered water fountain, a carefully varied diet of wet and dry food, multiple cozy beds, a toy bin, two cat trees, scratching posts, and even her own outdoor enclosure! I also love taking her on adventures with her leash and harness and would love to do the same with your kitty. For dogs, I love going on long walks, exploring new areas, and switching up routes to keep things exciting! I enjoy playing with pets both indoors and outdoors, working on training, and capturing lots of adorable photos along the way. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll always prioritize their safety, comfort, individual needs, and routines. My goal is to make every pet feel just as loved and spoiled as my own!

About: I have attended and completed puppy training sessions for all of my 4 pets over the past 35 years. We have loved 2 Springer Spaniels and 2 Labrador Retrievers which are energetic breeds and love the outdoors. Outdoor walks, playtime puzzles and toys to keep doggies engaged and happy is the approach. Most of our family and friends have pets that we have looked after and boarded over the years. Looking forward to getting to know some new furry friends! I'm retired and have great flexibility in my schedule. I also intend to only focus on 1 pet at a time so they will have my full attention. I have a fenced yard and love in a very quiet neighborhood with sidewalks providing safe walking. I'm also close to a sports park that also has a lovely path system and has the opportunity for socialization with other walkers. I'm happy to crate your pet if that is the option you are looking for when they are resting.

About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.

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 Niagara Falls. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the 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 .

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 Niagara Falls 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!
