About: Through the years I have had several pets of all varieties (cats, dogs, reptiles) I have also volunteered extensively with humane societies and even worked at PetSmart for a year! I am currently looking for some work and I can’t imagine a better job than taking care of your animals and making sure they’re okay when you’re gone :) I’m providing services to cats, dogs, and reptiles. Services include: pet sitting, dog walking, vibing with the reptiles 🦎 I am available pretty much 24/7 and am looking for either full or part time work. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting my new friend! Currently not working - available whenever you need me to care for your furry, feathered, or scaley friends - I can’t wait to meet you and them! :) I care for pets in the clients home. I have experience working with cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, you name it. I have fully open availability so shoot me a message if you need some help with pet care :)
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. And have been around and taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I am pretty flexible most of the time, and can handle fairly short notice. I try to pay as much attention to the animals as possible to ensure they are as comfortable as possible and to catch any discomfort. I can do walks, let them outside, and play with them as often as necessary. I have lots of love for animals and want to make them feel as loved and as comfortable as possible.
About: I've always had pets since I was very little, dogs and cats both, and have pet-sitted quite a bit since then. From bully breeds to kittens, I've had experience with all kinds of animals. I can't wait to meet yours! I'm an online part time student so I have quite a bit of time to spend with your pets, I love the outdoors and the indoors so I'm delighted to spend time with your pet. From the moment that I'm with your pet, it will have my full attention. I'm always careful about flight risks when entering and exiting. When exiting I'm always careful to make sure all exits are closed properly. On walks I tend to stay away from other dogs for your dogs for your dog's safety. I always bring a water bottle and a dish to make sure your dog stays hydrated!
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for Shelties, Golden Retrievers, and Papillons, each teaching me the importance of patience, companionship, and understanding every dog’s unique personality. I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy who is very loved, well-socialized, and has the sweetest, most gentle personality. He is extremely well-behaved and will be starting puppy school in July to continue building his training and manners. My partner is also home and able to help care for him, ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, and love. If your pup stays with me, they will be welcomed into a safe, caring, and dog-loving home. I want to be transparent that my puppy may be present during stays, but I always prioritize the comfort and needs of your pet. For walks, your dog will receive one-on-one attention — I will take your pup on their own walk rather than walking multiple dogs together. For drop-ins or visits, my focus will be on giving your pet personalized care, affection, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family here 🐾 I am a teacher and will be off during the months of July and August, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care whenever needed. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Starting in September, my availability will depend on whether I accept a teaching position (LTO), but I will always have availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am committed to providing reliable and consistent care and will communicate clearly with each pet parent to make sure your pet’s needs are met. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and dog-loving environment where they receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. My Golden Retriever puppy may be present in my home, but he is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and continuing his training. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines while providing dependable care, companionship, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I know pets feel most comfortable with familiarity, so I aim to keep their normal schedule and environment as consistent as possible. I will always communicate with pet parents, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats from a very early age. Caring for them has always been a meaningful part of my life, so having animals around has always felt natural to me and taught me that every animal is unique and deserves consistency, attention, and genuine care so they feel happy, relaxed and loved even when you’re not around. I treat every dog or cat like they are my own. Since I’m retired, my schedule is very flexible, which means I can spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I truly enjoy incorporating their care into my routine and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I look after your pets right in their own home, where they’re happiest. I stick to their normal routine and give them lots of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and have helped my parents take care of various ones. Being around them my whole life has made me understand them a lot more and give them the care they need.

I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between, and I always make sure dogs feel cared for, stimulated, and happy while in my care. I am currently in university and work part time. Depending on the time you want I can drop by before, in between and after school. I care for dogs in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I always make sure your home is secure, your dog is safe, and they receive lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Orillia on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 569 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Orillia. About 83% of Orillia 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 Orillia. 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 Orillia.
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 Orillia 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 Orillia 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:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
