“Alexa and Andrew were amazing to work with! Despite all the puppy energy, they were very accommodating and knew how to handle our pup during the walk. They went above and beyond by wiping paws and were very patient and understanding with all of our requests. Would recommend them to other fur parents!”
About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I love making pets feel safe, happy, and spoiled with lots of love, playtime, walks and cuddles while you're away. I treat every furry friend like my own and always make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I work from home which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attenntive pet care throughout the day. You can feel confident your furry friends are in good hands while you're away. I create a safe,calm and trusting environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I pay close attention to their routines and follow care instructions carefully while providing a clean and stress-free environment.

About: Hi! I’m Jahzara 😊 I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience working in an animal hospital, where I’ve gained valuable skills in animal care, behavior, and monitoring health. I’ve cared for a variety of pets through Rover and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or companionship, I always aim to provide a calm, attentive, and safe environment — especially for pets who may be shy or very bonded to their families. At the moment, my schedule can vary due to work commitments, so I take on a limited number of bookings to ensure I can give each pet the time and care they deserve. I’m always happy to communicate and find something that works when possible! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets 🐾 I currently work in an animal hospital and have a busy schedule, so my availability can vary week to week. I take on a limited number of bookings to ensure I can provide reliable and attentive care for each pet. Feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate when possible! The specific tasks and level of care will depend on the pet's individual needs and the services provided, but typically include feeding, grooming, exercise, health monitoring and companionship.
“Alexandra provides an exceptional dog walking service. She is incredibly dedicated and professional in her approach and accommodates ant time change. Our dog, Wigi, eagerly anticipates her weekly walk adventures with Alexandra. She returns from her outings absolutely elated and completely exhausted from all the fun running around. We appreciate the regular updates and photos of their daily escapades, which truly demonstrate the excellent care and attention.We are immensely grateful to Alexandra for her outstanding care of our furry baby!”
“We booked Mathusan on short notice for 3 walks this week. He was very responsive and worked with us for all the logistics. We started with a meet and greet and instantly, Audley loved him! They had the best cuddles and she felt really comfortable which was important to us. He also gave us timely and regular updates which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. Mathusan and Keishiya provided great suggestions to help navigate puppyhood. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing sitter/walker!”
About: I have cat and dog sitter experiences as a forster family. No matter your furry lovely pal is shy or outgoing, I always have ways to approach and we could become friends quickly. Currently working part time, flexible schedule. Enough time to stay accompany with the furry friend. We can play games inside or outside in the yard with fence, go for a walk, etc. Enough room for dog or cat to play. An empty room and a spare cage is ready in case needed. Yard with fence to play. Own a cat myself so I always make sure the window, the screen window and the door is locked.
“Hannah took my request for dog walking at the last minute when my work schedule changed. Hannah responded very quickly and offered to call if that was easier for me at work. Hannah was great with my puppy, Anakin. He is four months old and has only been with me for a few weeks - so he has a touch of separation anxiety. Hannah was flexible and allowed my brother to support Anakin as he was struggling to start the walk with a stranger. This was not planned so it is extra appreciated. My brother said she was absolutely wonderful with Anakin. She handles puppies like a pro! I will definitely be seeking Hannah’s services again. Thank you, Hannah!”
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for cats, I understand their behavior, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and attentive to those who need more engagement and play. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining spotless litter boxes, and ensuring a clean, low-stress environment. My science background helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, so I can respond early if something seems off. I focus on calm, respectful care—earning your cat’s trust while keeping them comfortable, clean, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m available nearly full-time—including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and evenings. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, play, and any required medications. Because I maintain a flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and visits at times that best suit your pet’s routine—keeping their environment stable and stress-free. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely—feeding schedules, medication, litter or enclosure maintenance, and preferred play styles—to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety details like secure doors, hazard-free spaces, and proper handling during feeding or medication. I also respect boundaries, especially for shy or rescue animals, and never force interaction. With my experience and science background, I stay alert to subtle behavioral or health changes and act promptly if anything seems off. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe and your home is respected while you’re away.
“I can’t recommend Randy enough! When I faced an emergency and couldn’t be there for my three ESA bullies, who are my world, Randy stepped in and went above and beyond. He cared for them like they were his own, feeding them, walking them, and even taking them by the river. He adapted perfectly to my rescue, and even helped him gain confidence despite being scared of his own shadow, and made sure all three felt safe and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Truly outstanding service—thank you, Randy!”
About: Originally from the UK 🇬🇧 and a lifelong dog lover! I have two dogs of my own — a German Shepherd and a senior Dachshund (who is the boss of the house!) I’m definitely more of a dog parent than just a dog owner. All dogs should be spoiled and have their personal quirks which should be appreciated. Dogs have always been a huge part of my family - my aunt also runs a boarding facility near Uxbridge where the dogs’ comfort and care is absolutely paramount and always comes first. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just cuddles and company, I’ll treat them like one of my own ❤️ I work from home and will take your pups out any time of day whenever it is not too hot on the ground or too cold for them! I do not have a yard so outside pee breaks and walks are always a must, but I don't mind at all. I have two friendly dogs, and they will show you the best places to play, sneak treats and nap in the house. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and we even have a dog teepee!
About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. My dad is allergic, so dogs can’t enter my home. I provide outdoor care with full supervision, using my fenced backyard and dog‑friendly indoor break spots.
About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.
About: I'm willing to walk your adorable pet, no matter the age and energy level! I want to give them a fun time and destress together! Currently only have online school in the summer which frees up availability. Otherwise I am free to walk your dogs any days of the week! I have a fenced backyard, safe house environment and an adorable 12 year old shih-tzu. Lots of walking areas to explore for your lovely pet

Mathusan and Keishiya are fantastic. We had a meetup, a test walk, and they asked a ton of questions about Beckham to fully understand his needs. After learning more about him, Keishiya even made some recommendations on training best practices and supplements. They truly show him the highest level of care and I feel so at ease with them caring for my boy. Plus, Beckham adores them (AND Peaches)!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Pickering on Rover is $24.42 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 6,390 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Pickering. About 85% of Pickering 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 Pickering. 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 Pickering.
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 Pickering 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 Pickering 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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
