About: Hi, I’m Christina! I’ve always had a big heart for animals and love spending my time caring for them. I have hands-on experience with many dog breeds, sizes, and personalities as a volunteer dog walked for the Owen Sound Animal Shelter. I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive — and I know how important it is for pet parents to have peace of mind while they’re away. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority, whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or sticking to their routine. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve I’m currently operating before and after school childcare. I’m available to walk or care for your pup however that may look for you between 9am-3pm. The care and service will be directed to your pups needs and wants whether that an adventurous or relaxing walk or even playing in your yard.

About: Growing up our family always had a pet dog from small a chihuahua to larger dogs. We have also recently taken care of neighbours pets such as Guinea pigs, cat and smaller dogs. We also have our own gecko named Lennon. Currently we have no furry friends in our family so your dog will become the star of the show dying their stay. I am currently able to work from home a few days of week and your pet will fit into our day to day family life getting walks in the morning and evening and during lunch hour times. We have a partially fenced yard and will keep dogs in our care on their leash for safety. Your pet will enjoy walks around our neighbourhood.
“Amy is fantastic with my dogs. She is very caring, and definitely trust worthy with your pets. Amy goes above and beyond to take the pups on new adventures, and is great with keeping with their routines. Not to mention when I surprised her with a new addition, she was not only thrilled to have two to walk, but is so great with his puppy antics. My pups love Amy and yours will too!”

I grew up on a hobby farm and am more then happy to spend time with ducks, chickens, rabbits etc. I currently work full time from home, if you have wifi I can be there all day.

Dogs love routine, keeping to their routine is safest. I practice positive reinforcement for pets. For dogs who pull on walks ii prefer a harness, it's safer for us and them, and have plenty of dual clip leashes to work on heeling with them.

About: I’m Sophia, a lifelong animal person with a farming background and a sixth sense for critter energy. I grew up surrounded by cattle, I've worked with horses, and I've raised a range of pets of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. All of this has given me a deep understanding of animal body language and a real respect for what makes them tick. I connect especially well with cats and dogs, and I’m known for my calm, grounded energy that helps even the most nervous pets feel chill. Whether your pup needs playtime, your kitty needs company, or you just want to make sure your pets are safe and happy while you're away, I’ve got it covered. I’ll treat your animals like my own—with care, clarity, and zero drama. Let’s keep things calm, cozy, and tail-waggy. I'm self-employed and a homebody, which means my schedule is super flexible and I'm available to give extra care throughout the week. That gives me tons of time for long morning walks, mid-day play breaks, and slow, snuggly evenings with your pets. They’re not just getting fed and walked—they’re getting real presence, companionship, and care throughout the day. I let animals set the pace. With a strong read on body language and temperament, I adjust my energy and approach to match what they need—not the other way around. Sometimes that means playtime and walks, and sometimes it means just being quietly nearby so they can relax without feeling overstimulated. Whether they’re social butterflies or shy little wallflowers, I’m here to make sure they feel at ease.

There are 96 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Owen Sound. About 83% of Owen Sound 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 Owen Sound. 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 Owen Sound.
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 Owen Sound 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 Owen Sound 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
