“We absolutely love having her as Benny’s dog walker! She is so loving, gentle, and caring with him, and it’s clear how much she genuinely adores him. Benny is always in such good hands, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he is being cared for by someone who treats him with such kindness and affection. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for great care for their pets.”
About: My partner and I have over 10 years of combined experience with small and large dogs. From daily walks, to overnight stays, we'll ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. We have one small dog of our own Spud the Cockapoo Kenzie works from home and Dom works on site. One of us is always home and if we ever leave we would more than likely bring your pet with us. We have a home with a fenced in backyard and plenty of green space surrounding us. We would stick to whichever routine is provided for us and love taking pets on walks around the neighbourhood.
“We had an amazing experience with Angela! She walked our two big, somewhat challenging dogs six times and did a fantastic job every single visit. Her communication was excellent, she was reliable, and she handled our dogs with confidence and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled dog walker. Thanks, Angela!”
“Kira was a great communicator and I felt completely comfortable having her come to my place 2x a day while I was out of town. I know she provided Bolt with playtime and plenty of love. Thanks Kira!”
About: I have tons of experience taking care of all sorts of animals. From reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, and critters working at the science centre to cats and dogs. I have experience dealing with animals with special medical needs too. My schedule is wide open, I am available any time of the week with enough notice. I want to be able to provide the best care possible to your critters. For boarding pets I have a fully fenced in backyard for boarding dogs. I would not be able to board cats unfortunately. They would be supervised the entire time and not left alone. For visits I would do a pre-visit checkin before the scheduled date just to clear up any details about your pet.

About: Hello! We are a busy home! 3 kids plus 1 cat and 1 dog. Please know if I take your dog or cat they will see lots of care whether that br walks or cuddles, because of the time commitments my prices will be higher. I have recently reactivated my rover acct to reflect that. However if you need an extended stay prices are available for negotiation. We are a home that has lots of live and experience in animal rescues 💛 Normally I would work my job full time monday to friday from 8am to 4pm, but am currently home for 2 months. (Woohoo for time off) Plenty of space to roam, upstairs and down. I'm well experienced with foster cats, so if they need a safe quiet space we can provide that too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 South Forks. 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 South Forks 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 South Forks 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 South Forks 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
