Jannica was amazing with my dog, professional and on time! Kept me updated during the walks and any changes due to weather. And she was there quite literally rain or shine. I can’t thank her enough for such an easy and stress free first experience using rover. I highly recommend her services and so does my dog. Seeing as he was always excited knowing she was coming, can tell she took the best care of him. Thank you again!

Amanda is very sweet and a kind and gentle human. We needed someone to walk our dogs while on vacation and she completed them all without hesitation. We were able to trust our dogs in her hands every morning, coming to our home, taking the dogs for a walk, giving them treats and wiping their paws when it was a messy and rainy week! We will definitely consider Amanda again during any of our dog care needs. Thank you!

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’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: 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 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 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 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.

He was wonderful with King and always treated him with so much care and patience. It gave me peace of mind knowing King was with someone kind, reliable, and genuinely caring. He was always communicative, respectful, and made sure King was well looked after. I’m very grateful for his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog.

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.

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!!!

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!

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 July 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 7,097 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:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 86% 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.
