About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned three dogs of my own over the years. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've helped look after many dogs in my neighbourhood and always enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. In fact, I'm probably guilty of knowing most of my neighbours by their dogs' names first! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day and ensure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner so I can provide consistent care. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I ensure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I also believe in regular communication and am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well looked after while they're away.
“Victoria really cares about the dogs she walks, and my dogs love their walks with her! She went out if her way to find out about my dogs before their first walk and made me very comfortable to leave them with her. Highly recommend Victoria.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up around family dogs and later pet sitting for friends during university gave me experience with a variety of dog breeds and cat personalities. On Rover, I’ve provided attentive care for cats and dogs, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving supplements & medications, stimulating them with fun games/exercises and spending quality time with them to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. After graduating, I welcomed my own fur baby into my life, which deepened my understanding of daily pet care and companionship, as well as the level of trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I would love to meet and care for your furry family members — whether they bark or purr! I specifically offer drop-ins and dog walks, which allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet without overbooking. I schedule visits carefully to ensure punctuality and consistency, whether it’s morning, midday, or evening care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During drop-ins, I handle feeding, refreshing water, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, and provide playtime or companionship based on the pet’s personality. For dog walks, I ensure safe leash handling, proper exercise, and always clean up afterward. I treat every home with respect — keeping spaces tidy, locking doors securely, and following any specific instructions carefully. I will also provide ample updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

Renita does an excellent job doing daily walks with my dog. She’s very reliable and provides updates, but more importantly she cares for him like her own. She loves hanging out with him and gives him treats before she leaves. It’s so nice to have Renita for daily walks and my dog loves it too!

There are 7,194 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Richmond Hill. About 85% of Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill. 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 Richmond Hill.
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 Richmond Hill 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.

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 Richmond Hill 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.
