About: I’ve been caring for my family’s black Labrador mix for the past 3 years. Taking care of dogs has taught me patience and responsibility, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I can help with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible throughout most of the week except Wednesdays. I have plenty of time to care for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet with patience and care, just like my own dog at home. I always try to create a safe and calm environment and follow any instructions carefully from pet owners.

About: I have experience caring for family and friends' dogs and cats. I always follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, , and routines to make sure each dog is comfortable and well cared for. I have looked after dogs and cats both in the owner's home and in my own home, providing a safe, caring, and reliable environment. I work part time so I can do drop-ins, walking, sitting. I am also able to do boarding in owner's home. I may be able to book outside of my availability so just ask to see if I can accommodate you. I would treat them like family, play with in the backyard and we will have an all-round good time. I also love cuddle time and relaxing with them. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate your furry family member. I have taken care of both small dogs and high-energy large dogs which have always gone home happy.

About: I’m a full-time sitter with flexible availability on weekdays and weekends. Since my husband works from home, someone is usually home throughout the day, so pets can enjoy plenty of companionship, regular check-ins, and a calm, loving environment. I’m the primary caregiver and will make sure your pet’s routine, comfort, and safety are always my priority. I also like to keep things peaceful and low-stress. I only take pets when I feel my home is a good fit for their needs, and I’m happy to learn about their routine, personality, and any special instructions before their stay. For pets with strong separation anxiety, reactivity, or special supervision needs, please let me know in advance so we can make sure my home is the right fit.
About: Hi there! I'm a dog lover with years of experience caring for our furry friends. I love spending time with dogs, but I also have a talent for massaging them in a claiming manner. Giving your babies love and care. I'm currently working part-time. So I'll have plenty of time to play, walk and accompany with your pups. I am available on weekdays, please feel free to contact me My hubby and I live in a condo. The building is very dog friendly, many of our neighbour's have dogs too. Also, there are some awesome parks nearby for outdoor activities.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have one dog at home, while my other dog lives with my parents — so I'm very used to caring for multiple dogs in different settings. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, administering medication, basic training reinforcement, and senior dog care. Working from home means I can give constant attention and stick to your pet's usual routine. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or careful supervision, I have the experience and flexibility to provide it. I work from home full-time, so I’m around all day to care for pets. I currently have one dog living with me. Since I’m always home, I can offer frequent walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and just company so no pet ever feels lonely or anxious. I have one friendly dog at home and work remotely, so I can supervise all pet interactions closely. I also provide quiet, separate spaces if a pet needs a break. Because I care for my other dog at my parents’ place, I’m experienced with making pets feel comfortable in different home settings.
About: I love all critters: dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, chinchillas, birds and fish. I've been a cat owner my whole life and have a cat at the present time so I will not board at my house. I am a dog walker and house sitter. I used to own a Bearded Dragon lizard and don't mind handling snakes. I believe pets are less anxious if when their owners leave, the pet can remain at home. I will walk dogs twice at least when I stay over night and provide a lot of attention. I am able to provide basic grooming for both dogs and cats. Because I have a car, I will take your dog to the Cherry Beach dog park for a long fun-filled excursion. Your home and your pet will be well taken care of by me! I am currently free to pet sit and/or walk fulltime. I have several clients at the present time, but, have a lot of free time to serve you. Please check the calendar for my upcoming bookings. Since I have a cat, I prefer to pet sit at your home. I also think it is better for the pet. He/she will miss you when you're gone so at least being at home is less stressful for them. Since I have a roommate my kitty, Oscar, is well taken care of when I am at your home loving your little ones. It's important to note that I like to keep in regular contact with you pet owners and inform you about what I and your pets are doing. I also like to send pics!! You just let me know how often you want to hear from me.

“Jannica took care of my dog Theo over the long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She was always punctual, gave Theo extra time on his walks, and treated him with so much care and attention. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Theo absolutely loved her, and I truly appreciated the updates and reliability throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend Jannica to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and thoughtful dog walker!”

He can be a handful sometimes but he quickly warmed up to Rachita and we have quickly become repeat clients. Thank you to Rachita and her husband.”

“It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely caring. My dog absolutely loves him, and I can tell he puts so much effort into making my dog feel comfortable and safe.”


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!

About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, starting with volunteering at Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, where I worked with a wide range of animals including birds, small mammals, and wildlife in need of rehabilitation. That experience taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to adapt care to each animal’s personality. At home, animals have always been part of my everyday life. I’ve had my own cat for over 14 years, so I’m very familiar with routines like feeding schedules, litter care, and respecting a pet’s need for space (or sudden 3 a.m. zoomies). I also regularly help care for my boyfriend’s dog, so I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping up with energetic pups as well. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality — whether they’re cuddly, shy, independent, or “I only like you on my terms.” My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a crisis worker at SHN hospitals, working about 3 shifts per week. This schedule gives me a lot of flexibility and availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Because of this, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs — whether that’s regular walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. I’m reliable, consistent, and able to provide attentive care without rushing. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending my extra time with animals, so your pets will always get my full attention and care when I’m with them. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. I bring years of hands-on animal care experience, including volunteering with a wide range of animals, which has taught me how to stay calm, observant, and responsive in all kinds of situations. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, triggers, and personality to make sure they feel secure and understood in my care. I’m attentive to detail when it comes to feeding, walks, medication instructions (if needed), and general safety. I provide a calm, respectful environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease — whether that means quiet companionship for more anxious animals or structured activity for energetic ones. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and respect I give my own animals, and I always communicate clearly so you feel confident while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scarborough
Jannica has been amazing with our dog, Levi! We’ve had her walk him twice when we weren’t home, and each visit has been excellent. She keeps us updated throughout the walk by documenting everything, so we always know how Levi is doing. Levi had been having softer stools recently, and Jannica was incredibly thoughtful about it. She checked with us before giving him any treats and even sent us a photo of his stool, which was very helpful for us to monitor his condition. It’s clear she genuinely pays attention to his well-being. She also goes above and beyond in the little things. Even though she doesn’t have to, she always refills Levi’s water bowl after their walk, which we really appreciate. Jannica is kind, gentle, considerate, and an excellent communicator. We feel completely at ease knowing Levi is in her care, and we’ll very likely be requesting her for all of our future walks. Highly recommend!

Angela was an amazing dog walker for Luca! She was reliable, caring, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention during his walks. Luca was always happy and relaxed after his walks, and it was clear he really enjoyed spending time with her. I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker. Thank you so much, Angela! 🐾😊

Jennifer is an amazing dog walker! She is very friendly, reliable, and attentive to my dogs’ needs. I have her walk my dogs on a regular basis each week, and she has always been extremely helpful and caring. My dogs absolutely love her and are always excited to see her. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!

Rahul is very punctual and kind. He successfully walked our 80 pound husky, Bubba, who has a tendency to pull and get over excited around other dogs. Rahul asked necessary questions to ensure a successful walk. Bubba immediately took to Rahul’s friendly demeanour as well. It was so nice having Rahul as our first dog walker. We look forward to requesting him again in the future!

I can’t recommend Viven enough! She’s an amazing walker and my dogs absolutely love her. She’s incredibly efficient, reliable, and always quick to respond — even to my late overseas messages and last-minute requests. Thank you so much, Viven, for helping make sure the girls get their walkies. Koko and Skie have a new friend now, and we’re so grateful for you! 💛🐾

FAQs for Dog Walking - Scarborough
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Scarborough on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of June 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 7,044 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Scarborough. About 85% of Scarborough 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 Scarborough. 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 Scarborough.
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 Scarborough 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 Scarborough 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
- 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.
