“Loghan has been a great fit for my energetic doodle Charlie, who has loved getting out for his walks with the group. I was also very comfortable leaving Charlie for overnight boarding as I know he's very well cared for. Loghan is friendly, professional and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Rebecca was amazing! Prompt and extremely caring! Charlie loved her. She was also very helpful in helping us to find a rehoming opportunity due to our health issues. Her engaging, friendly and caring nature makes us want to write this review. She is the ultimate dog walker, and we have had several! Thank you Rebecca.”
“Gretal is wonderful and amazing. I injured my leg and couldn't do long walks with my boy. After reviewing Gretel's previous reviews, I choose her. She did not disappoint. She listened to what my dogs reactivities were, what could make him aggressive. Since he is a rescue and isn't always good around crowed areas. My dog absolutely fell in love with her on their first meet. I will absolutely choose Gretel for walks again for my dog. Very good with communication and love the updates on my Rover Card.”
About: From a young age I begged my parents to get a dog and they did not give in until I was 15 when we adopted my anxious little puppy Walker at only four months old. I worked hard to train and walk him from the day we adopted him even with his different needs. I can learn your dog's needs quickly and adapt to them!! I am currently working as an emergency supply teacher while I am on summer break from university. Pet care can be after the school day, overnight or even before the school day. My schedule is flexible; what your pet needs, I can make work! I care for pets in my client's home or on walks by ensuring they are well fed and active (both in mind and body) and ensuring they feel comfortable and safe when their owners are away!
About: Your furry friend's happiness is my top priority! With years of experience, I specialize in dog walking, puppy care, and dog and cat sitting. Allow me take your dog on their next adventure! I am currently in school, which leaves most of my days open. This allows me to be flexible with my time and prioritize your pup. Your dog's safety and well-being is extremely important to me. I ensure that each walk is tailored to your dog's needs, whether that's a leisurely stroll or a brisk jog. I provide water, treats, and plenty of love to keep your furry friend happy and healthy.
About: I started taking care of dogs and cats when I was a teenager. When neighbours would go on vacation or have out of town appointments- they would always contact me to walk, feed and care fir their pets. I love both dogs and cats and look forward to caring for yours! I have a flexible work schedule so I am able to work with times that best suit you and your pets. I am happy to meet once booked, prior to starting to get to know you and your pet! I am able to offer drop ins to check in on, feed, clean litter box and do a general wellness visit for your pet. Also bring in mail, water plants.
About: I have frequently taken care of my neighbourhood dogs as well as two senior dogs from a local family. I have two large dogs and two small dogs of my own! Additionally, I have administered medications for animals when instructed to do so. I am currently in my fourth year of University so I would need to arrange times around my classes, however most days and afternoons I am available! I am comfortable abiding to any household rules you have for your fur babies, including specified eating / walking times, crating, and mandatory play times! I tend to spoil my pups so I will ensure to spread the love to yours as well :)
About: hiii, I’m Devin! (I’m new to Rover) I have (ongoing) experience volunteering at multiple humane societies, volunteering at an animal sanctuary, pet sitting, and I’m going into a Veterinary Technician program next year! I spend lots of my time caring for, playing with and loving animals with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. Patience, consistency, and making animals feel safe and comfortable is very important. Volunteering and spending my time with animals reinforces how important it is to meet the needs of every specific individual animal. Im comfortable following specialized care and medical instructions carefully and paying close attention to changes in behaviour or needs. I’ve given prescribed medication to animals in many ways, many times so I’m 100% okay and accommodating to special care animals. I’m especially good with shy, anxious, or sensitive animals and try to create a calm, low-stress environment for them. I read, watch and learn lots about animals everyday. I have many certifications around animals as well; like the ‘Fear Free’ certification for example. What sets me apart is my experience and also that I genuinely care about animals as individuals and that I take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and boundaries rather than treating care as “just a job”. This is something I’m very passionate about. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being attentive to their needs. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, medication if needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m someone who pays close attention to routines and details, so I understand the importance of consistency for animals. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’m patient and adapt to what helps them feel safest and happiest. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and low-stress as possible. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, bathroom breaks, and rest so they can feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels to make sure pets are comfortable and getting the care they need. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and make sure they have space, attention, and calm interaction at their own pace. Safety and cleanliness are also important to me, and I make sure pets have a secure environment, fresh water, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owner is away.

While I was dog sitting my daughter’s dog Benson , I arranged for daily walks with Loghan . Loghan was timely in his pick ups and drop offs , he carefully selected his destinations based on the weather conditions and brought home a very happy dog who couldn’t wait to join the pack the next day ! I couldn’t be more pleased with the arrangement and highly recommend Loghan !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Peterborough on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 195 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Peterborough. About 78% of Peterborough 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 Peterborough. 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 Peterborough.
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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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.
