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.

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'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.

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.

I am immensely patient, adaptable and can keep your pet in familiar surroundings and routines while you're away. I work freelance so my schedule is quite flexible. I can do morning/evening walks and feedings, or stay with your pets for weeks at a time If staying in your home, I will leave it as you left it, if not better. You'll come home to a clean home and happy pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering dedication to ensuring your pet's happiness, well-being, and safety. I provide exceptional care, love, and attention, treating your furry friend as if they were a cherished member of my own family. With specialized skills in areas such as puppy training and senior pet care, I go the extra mile to meet your pet's unique needs and preferences, creating a truly exceptional pet sitting experience you won't find elsewhere. Being currently fully remote work and an early riser, I possess a highly adaptable and flexible schedule that aligns perfectly with the needs of both pets and their owners. My unemployment status means that I can dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your beloved pets, ensuring they receive the care, love, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Moreover, my early morning routine enables me to kickstart each day with a sense of responsibility, ensuring that your pets' morning routines, including feeding and exercise, are promptly and reliably attended to. With my flexible schedule and commitment to the well-being of animals, you can trust that your pets will receive exceptional care under my watch. In my condo, I designate a specific area for the pet with all their essentials, ensuring they have a cozy bed, food, water, and a litter box (for cats). Regular walks and play sessions in nearby pet-friendly areas provide exercise and stimulation. Additionally, I follow condo regulations, maintain noise control, and keep common areas clean. When caring for pets in a client's condo, I prioritize understanding their pet's routine and any specific guidelines while adhering to condo regulations and ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable in the unfamiliar setting. Effective communication with the client and responsible pet care practices are essential for a positive experience in both scenarios.

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: Hi! My name is Anastasiia. I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for cats, dogs, and other pets of different personalities. I’ve been around animals my whole life. From childhood, I helped care for dogs and cats in my family, and animals have always been a natural part of my daily life. I currently have regular, returning Rover clients, which means pets feel comfortable with me and owners trust me. I’m calm, attentive, and good at reading an animal’s mood and needs. I treat every pet as a family member, not just a task. I offer: • dog walking • drop-in visits to feed your pets while you’re on vacation • care for cats, dogs, and other animals following your routine • feeding according to your exact instructions • playtime, attention, and companionship • photo & video updates, so you always know your pet is safe and happy I have flexible availability and plenty of time to fully focus on your pet. I’m happy to adjust to your rules, routines, and your pet’s personality. Your pet will be cared for, respected, and never rushed. I am a musician and I have a pat-time job. I have a lot of free time. So I can devote it to helping you and spend time with your pets. I believe that an animal is a full-fledged member of the family that needs to be taken care of as if we were taking care of a child. I will be happy to walk the dog on the street, not only so that he copes with his natural needs, but also to maintain his health and physical activity. I can also feed your pet according to your instructions. I find it very important to play with a pet. After all, this not only makes him fun, but is also an important psychological development. I will gladly fulfill all your instructions, how would you like me to communicate with your pet. I will be your replacement for him. I can also send you photos and videos so that you are pleased and calm in your soul that your friend is in good company.

About: I have been caring for animals since a very young age. I began my career as a vet tech which I did for many years until I became a human nurse, which I am currently working as. I am also able to provide medical care if needed or take your loved fur baby to any medical visits they may need. I am new to the Rover platform but I am not new when it comes to caring for cats and dogs as I have been doing it for years. I would love to opportunity to gain trust within the pet parent community to be able to take care of your beloved fur baby. I can care for both dogs and cats I work part-time as a bedside nurse, but I have some flexibility in my schedule to be able to overnight dog sit or day sit in between my shifts at the hospital We currently have a rescue dog that is extremely friendly and social and would love another mate to play with. We also have a large open space behind our home which the dogs have access to to run around and play

About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover who provides loving, reliable care for your dogs and cats 💛 Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins or company while you’re away, I’m here to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I tailor my services and can adjust to different personalities for your pet’s needs. 🐾 I currently take out my dogs every morning and evening for an hour. We also go on shorter breaks throughout the day especially when it's hot to avoid heatstroke. I work remotely from home, with advance notice I can tailor my schedule to your pet's needs. I've learnt to train dogs in a safe way, from no collars in crates to making sure they play safely as well. I always ensure that we are being alert on walks and paying attention to their cues, which is the biggest indicator for their safety. I always make sure their water bowl is full and cleaned every day, even their paws are cleaned after every walk with grooming wipes. Their exercise and hygiene is extremely important, and of course all the yummy food and treats that they are allowed to have, one of my dogs has severe allergies, so I am used to catering to those needs as well (external factors and food allergies).

About: My pet care experience is built on a deep love and respect for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner, I’ve mastered the art of reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and managing strict hygiene like litter box maintenance. I excel with shy or independent pets, knowing exactly how to give them space until they are comfortable enough to let their active, playful sides shine. When it comes to dogs, my work-from-home schedule makes me the perfect companion. I am experienced in maintaining consistent routines, providing structured potty breaks, and adjusting to different energy levels. Whether your dog is a couch potato who wants to snooze by my desk or an active pup who needs an energetic game of fetch, I am ready to match their vibe. I pride myself on providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment where both cats and dogs can thrive. I currently work from home, which means your pet will have constant companionship and supervision throughout the day! My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pet's exact feeding routines, keep their environment clean, and provide playtime right when they have those bursts of energy. Your pet’s safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. I strictly follow all instructions regarding locks, alarms, and boundary limits. I ensure hazardous items are out of reach and that doors are securely closed at all times. Because I work from home, my schedule is highly flexible, meaning I can spend plenty of quality daytime hours keeping your pet company. I respect their boundaries completely; if they are shy and need space, I let them do their own thing while I work. I mirror your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce any separation anxiety, and I will send you frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.

Tim/Alysha was amazing with our senior dog, Rosie! They were so patient and gentle with her, and it was obvious how happy Rosie was the whole time we were away. Getting her updates gave us real peace of mind, and we could actually relax on our trip knowing Rosie was in such caring hands. We'd book Tim/Alysha again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have an older pup who needs a little extra love.

Amy has been a lifesaver. I was injured and needed a dog walker ASAP. Amy accommodated me immediately and was flexible, allowing the walking schedule to change as I dealt with next steps for injury. She is punctual, kind, goes above and beyond to be helpful, is loving and very quickly loved by new dogs, adapts to meet my specific asks on how to handle the dog and is generally just an amazing person. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her strongly.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Scarborough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Scarborough is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 7,012 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Scarborough after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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!
