About: I have fostered small and medium and large size dogs during Covid. I’ve learned that dogs are nervous During the first day of sitting, and may need some more time to adjust before they get into a good routine. I know the importance of keeping the same routine, not to introduce any new foods that may upset their stomach and so forth. Additionally, I Will follow protocol if a dog is feeling ill and give the dog a lot of attention and pats on the head. I am currently not working, so I do have a lot of time to play with your pets. Give them a nice long walk and all the attention that they can handle. I have a fence yard and one small dog that can keep your dog company . I have multiple pet beds around my home and places for the dog to rest

About: 🐾 Service available in English & Cantonese (廣東話) Hi! I’m Katrina. I live with my family and our sweet 7 year old Bichon Frise, Tofu. My family and I have spent the past seven years raising Tofu and caring for dogs belonging to our friends and family, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home too. My mom is home full-time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard, and we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time to provide a calm, personalized experience. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, and my mom is home full-time, so there’s almost always someone home to keep your dog company. We are also home on weekends. We’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, most importantly, stick to the routine they’re used to. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We will ensure your dog’s regular routine is followed to make them comfortable away from home. Our home is clean, dog-friendly, and designed with your pup in mind. We have plenty of toys, cozy places to rest, and baby gates available if a dog needs their own space. We live in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Our home is shared with our 7-year-old Bichon Frise, Tofu, and because we don’t have young children and only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, we provide a calm, low-stress environment. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

Absolutely thrilled with the dog walking service provided by David! Our family hired him for two weeks while we were on vacation, and he has been exceptional. He’s incredibly responsible, always punctual, and, most importantly, our beloved dog Nico adores him. It’s heartwarming to see Nico so excited to spend time with him every day. David has gone above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier with his service. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a caring and reliable dog walker!

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.

Haukiu is a very considerate, responsive and helpful walker. My grandma has mobility issues and couldn't walk my dog when I got stuck late at work and Haukiu jumped in last-minute and saved the day! She wiped my dog's paws and my grandma reported that he was very happy when he came back from his walk. Highly recommend!

About: Growing up with dogs since age 12 gave me a foundation in canine behavior and care. I've developed my skills by regularly walking, feeding, and bathing friends' dogs, including Labs, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. My athletic background makes me uniquely suited for high-energy breeds. I've successfully worked with reactive dogs who need focused, one-on-one attention during walks. My running ability allows me to provide the intensive exercise these dogs need when off-leash time isn't suitable. Recently certified in Pet First Aid through Canadian Red Cross (July 2025). I also share my home with two cats (ages 2.5 and 1.5), so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households. I understand that energetic breeds need both physical exhaustion and mental stimulation to be truly satisfied, and I incorporate both into every walk. As an incoming grad student with a flexible timetable, I'm building my pet care business around my academic schedule. Currently available weekday afternoons from 3 PM onwards, with excellent availability through August. Once the fall semester begins, I'll maintain afternoon availability and may add morning slots depending on my class schedule. I'm committed to maintaining regular walking schedules with my clients and will provide advance notice of any schedule changes. Pet care fits perfectly with my lifestyle as an active person who needs daily exercise myself. Walking dogs isn't just a job for me, it's part of my daily fitness routine, which means your dog gets an enthusiastic, energetic walker every single time I focus exclusively on professional dog walking services to ensure each dog receives my full attention and the best possible care. During walks, I: - Keep dogs securely leashed unless in designated off-leash areas (with owner permission) - Carry Pet First Aid supplies and fresh water - Avoid busy roads when possible, preferring quieter residential streets and trails - Never walk more dogs than I can safely control - Send photo updates so you can see your pup having fun I maintain constant vigilance for potential hazards like aggressive dogs, traffic, or items dogs might ingest. With my Pet First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle emergencies while immediately contacting both the owner and nearest vet if needed. My athletic ability ensures I can maintain control even with strong, excitable dogs, keeping your pet safe throughout our time together.

Peter is just WONDERFUL! Friendly, outgoing, considerate & the perfect companion to our golden retriever. We reached out to Peter to walk Moose every day we were on vacation, met him ahead of time (passed the Moose that with flying colours) & trusted him immediately. Moose's morning schedule meshed with Peter's; we received daily updates with the cutest pictures. Peter is open & kind, his live of dogs is obvious. We will definitely be working with Peter again & recommend him highly!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Richmond Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Richmond Hill on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of September 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 7,115 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Richmond Hill. About 86% 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.

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 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:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
