“Jannica is an EXCELLENT dog walker. She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable in her approach and her demeanour is kind but firm, something our little Doogie could use. When she first started with us, Doogie was working through some walk-anxiety after Canada Day fireworks but Jannica worked diligently with us and the methods we were using. Today Doogie is walking like a champ! Jannica is very understanding and reliable, and someone we hope to lean on for a long time. I would highly, highly recommend.”
About: 😼 🐶STC Area Specialist I provide low stress pet care with attention to hygiene and emotional comfort. During visits, I focus on respecting boundaries, maintaining routines, and observing appetite, litter box habits, and behavior changes—especially for shy or indoor cats. Pet care is my main focus, which allows me to stay flexible while keeping visits consistent and on time. I limit bookings so each visit is calm, unhurried, and centered around your cat’s routine. I provide low-stress pet care guided by canine & feline behavior and body-language awareness. I focus on calm interactions, home safety, and gentle enrichment based on each pet’s comfort level—especially for shy or indoor cats.
“Tara was patient and professional on her first of what we hope to be many future walks. She is very reliable, pleasant and punctual. Thank you for taking such good care of Milo.”
About: Hi! I’m Jennifer from Scarborough, a professional pet sitter with experience providing boarding, drop-in visits and dog walking to your fur family! I became a super pet lover after having my first Labrador Retriever as a child, and now I own a Labrador again-my little bundle of joy who keeps me on my toes every day! As a pet parent, I fully understand the needs of dogs and the challenge of leaving them at home. I’m passionate about providing love, care, and attention to make pets happy and safe. I hold a professional pet-sitting diploma and a pet first-aid certificate. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I also speak Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! I am available on the weekdays from 9am-5pm. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for, whether they are allergic to anything, medications, are friendly with dogs and people, or any behavioral issues such as separation anxiety.
About: I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and they have been a part of my family since I was young. I was involved in training my two dogs when they were puppies, and also have experience with caring for both senior dogs and cats. I currently have a 4 year old cat that I rescued named Miles. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to take jobs with 1 day notice for any time slot during the day that is required. I have plenty of experience with dog and cat sitting, walking, playing, and enrichment. I have no doubt that your pet will have fun and get some exercise with me.
“Amanda made the effort to meet with me to understand Murphys needs and the instructions for each walk. So far Amanda had been very nice to Murphy and has taken my feedback on how to handle him and his excitement. Amanda is always on time and hasn’t missed a walk!”
About: I would love to pet sit and dog walk because I adore spending time with furry friends and providing them with love and care. Pets bring so much joy and companionship, and I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for them while their owners are away. It's a rewarding experience to build trust with pets and make sure they feel happy and comfortable in my care. I’m currently not working and taking a year off at school which gives me more time to focus on taking care of your pets. I’m available from early mornings to late afternoons and evenings. From days Monday to Saturday. I live in an apartment building which has many area for dog walking and my home is built around a safe place for children and pets. I’ve made many purchases for your pets such as dog beds,bowl for food and water toys and much more to give your pets the most comfortable experience when with me.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve spent the last 9 years caring for my own cat, Blu, who is now a senior. He’s my little boy, and caring for him has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize the unique needs that come with pets at every stage of life!! I also grew up with a family dog, so I’m experienced with daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing lots of love and companionship. Beyond my own pets, I’ve regularly walked and cared for the dogs of my neighbours and friends, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a senior who needs a little extra care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away :) Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I am the primary caretaker for my own cat blu. Working from home has helped me with this a lot! I’m used to building my day around feeding schedules, companionship, playtime, and making sure my cats needs are met consistently. I have experience providing reliable care every day, from maintaining routines to giving pets the attention, patience, and affection they need. I’m able to incorporate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my schedule while ensuring each pet receives personalized care and plenty of love. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs exercise, a senior pet who needs extra patience, or a cat who needs companionship.
“Clinton was on time to pick up Zeus. He communicated promptly on his arrival and sent me updates on how his walk and play time went. Zeus really seemed to have had a great time. Thank you Clinton”
“Meryl is fantastic with my little fur baby. She ensures she knows what cues you’re using with your dog for training, asks questions for clarification and is patient with her walking companions. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy and will treat your fur baby as if it were her own, look no further.”
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'm a Nurse, so calm-under-pressure and close attention to detail are basically my job description — and that carries right over into how I care for pets. I'm comfortable with medication schedules, mobility issues, post-surgery recovery, and knowing when something's "off" and worth a vet call versus not. My husband and I care for pets together — he's dog CPR certified, and has raised six dogs of his own from puppy to senior years, so he's seen it all: teething, training, arthritis, end-of-life care. He usually handles walks and meal prep, so your dog gets a consistent routine and someone who genuinely enjoys the daily stuff, not just the cuddles. Between the two of us, we've also got two dogs of our own at home — a 6-year-old Boxer/Bully mix and a 13-year-old Corgi/Terrier mix — so we know both ends of the spectrum: high-energy young dogs and senior dogs who need a gentler pace. Your pet gets treated like they’re part of the pack. Right now I'm off assignment until November, so I'm home full-time and available pretty much any day. My husband also works from home, so between the two of us there's basically always someone around for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day — not just early morning and evening like a typical 9-5 household. Believe it or not, I treat pets better than humans 🤣 it's embarrassing to say it but they give you unconditional love, so why not give unconditional love back? We've got a 4,000+ sq ft backyard with a hill for the energetic dogs to run up and over and really burn off steam, plus a park right in the neighbourhood for extra walks and exploring. Whether your dog needs a big open space to zoom around or a calmer stroll nearby, we've got options.
About: I'm new to Rover, but I have real hands-on experience walking dogs and genuinely love it. I'm patient, attentive, and adjust my pace and route to fit each dog's energy, age, and comfort level. I'm available every day for dog walks, which means I can offer consistent daily walks or flexible scheduling around your needs. No day is off-limits when your dog needs a walk. On every walk, dogs stay securely leashed and under my full attention — no phone distractions. I watch for other animals, traffic, and heat, and I send you photo updates so you always know how the walk went.
“Rachita has been available last minute to help us out and very prompt when answering requests. We don’t have to worry when she’s taking care of our dog. 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.”
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've joined the volunteer which is to take care of the stray dogs that live on the mountain. I also have a dog, a bichon fraise. He is now three years old. I've had him since he's three months old. I really like to play with dogs, I often feel like I can really be good friend with dogs. I am now a full time student study at UofT Scarborough. I have classes during week day. But on the weekend. I'm not very busy. I will be very careful of what they are eating and also be very careful on their behavior. I won't let them get loose while walking and also keep them away from the cars.
About: I am new to pet care app, but when it come to love and care for pets ,been in a dog loving family from generations. Have three dogs , a Labrador , a Shih Tzu and an Australian shepherd Am away from my babies . So joining this application to meet new fur babies and spend some time with them.

I always love and care for the pets in each and every way, keeping in mind respecting their space.
About: I've lived with cats all my life and have harness trained/advised on harness training three cats so far. While I have less experience with dogs, I have worked with them before. I am quite small, so I can only walk a couple of dogs, and cannot walk larger dogs. I've also recently gained experience with some more exotic species, so don't be afraid to reach out if you've got more than dogs or cats! I tend to have either evenings or mornings free, so I'm looking for something to fill the time before going to my day job. I also have a few days off a week where I'm more free to drop in any time! My backyard is fenced, and in the past my cats had supervised time outside, as well as walks. I follow owner's instructions, as not every animal is as exploratory as my cats were, and owners know their pets best.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Scarborough is $20

Jannica is an EXCELLENT dog walker. She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable in her approach and her demeanour is kind but firm, something our little Doogie could use. When she first started with us, Doogie was working through some walk-anxiety after Canada Day fireworks but Jannica worked diligently with us and the methods we were using. Today Doogie is walking like a champ! Jannica is very understanding and reliable, and someone we hope to lean on for a long time. I would highly, highly recommend.
Jayneigh was a great help for walking our sweet golden while he stayed at my mum’s house. Since my mum is not able to walk him, Jayneigh helped give us the peace we needed to go away for a few days, knowing that our dog was getting the walks he needed while also staying in a familiar environment. Jayneigh is kind, capable and reliable. We thank her so much!!!
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! 💛🐾

The average cost for Dog Walking in Scarborough on Rover is $19.98 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 6,967 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Scarborough. About 86% 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.

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
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
