About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.
“I can’t say enough great things about Emma. From the first walk, it was clear how much she cares about dogs. Rocky was immediately at ease with her, and I could tell he was in great hands. Emma is reliable, punctual, and always goes the extra mile to make sure Rocky gets the exercise, attention, and fun he needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dog walker who’s not only professional but truly passionate about dogs!”
“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!”
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.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child! Growing up I would spend time with my uncles dog Diesel! I love walking dogs and teaching them new tricks and of course giving them lots of treats to reinforce good behaviour and habits and maybe even an extra treat just for being cute ! i’m excited to offer pet care services! I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while under my care. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m very flexible and looking forward to discussing and following your pets preferences and routines ! I live in a condo & have a dog park nearby. Depending on your needs and routines that you have established for your pets I can care for them as needed so they can still maintain a sense of comfort when they’re away from home!
“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: I've taken care of cats and dogs for years and have owned dogs as a child and youth. I treat and respect them like my own. It's important to me that the owners feel they are leaving their pets in good hands and that their beloved animals will get loved on and taken care of well in their absence. I do my best to ensure the pets are comfortable and happy when they are in my care and go above and beyond to provide good service to my clients.

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.

About: I have walked several different breeds and sizes of dogs, including foster and domestic dogs, which has taught me how to adapt accordingly! Personalization is important to care for an animal. I am in college, so some weekdays are busy, but most of my free time is spent at home with cats or outside with dogs! I have a fenced backyard and several grassy areas near by to play in! I maintain a clean litter/pad area and wash food bowls after every meal!
“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!”

“Kelly has been helping to walk my grumpy geriatric dog for the last few months and she’s a godsend. Sometimes she walks him 12 times in a week and sometimes I only need help once or twice but she’s always super flexible and willing to help. She loves dogs and treats my baby like her own! He adores her and so do I and I’m not sure what we would do without her ☺️”

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!
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!
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)!

There are 6,279 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Pickering. About 87% 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:

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.
