Rita was so amazing with my little dachshund. She is very calm and has a beautiful energy. She is very responsive and made me feel that my dog was always in good hands. We recently moved and miss her very much!

About: Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I love dogs. But on Rover, loving dogs should be a given, not the whole qualification. To truly love a dog is to understand them. That’s why I’ve spent the last five years deeply researching canine health and behaviour, from force-free positive reinforcement and reading body language to recognizing the early signs of bloat (GDV) and understanding the dangers of heat stroke and paw burns. I specialize in providing tailored, focused, and intelligent care. I only walk up to two dogs at a time, and only if they are from the same household. I don't do multi-family group walks because your dog deserves my 100% undivided attention. Whether I'm managing a reactive pup by reading a sidewalk before it goes sideways, or letting a senior dog enjoy a slow, mentally enriching "sniffy walk," your goofball is in good hands. My current availability is kept strictly up-to-date in my Rover calendar, offering flexible options for mid-day dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I structure my daily routine to ensure I am never rushing between clients, I am able to offer reliable, punctual care that fits seamlessly into your dog's normal schedule. If you have a specific time slot you don't see listed, feel free to reach out and ask! Safety isn't a formality, it's the priority. Every single new client gets a free, mandatory Meet & Greet before we book a single service. No exceptions. This isn’t a formality; it’s a vital safety step where I learn your dog’s specific quirks, triggers, and medical history so I can do right by them. When caring for your dog in your home or neighbourhood, I treat their safety as a science. I understand how to proactively reduce the risks of bloat, I am hyper-aware of weather-related distress like heat stroke, and I use only positive, force-free handling methods. I am exactly the kind of dog walker I used to search for but could never find: someone who lets a dog be their silly self, while taking their safety with absolute seriousness. Please note that for safety and wellness reasons, I do not walk dogs on prong, choke, or shock collars. If this is your dog’s current equipment, please still reach out! I understand large, strong, and reactive breeds intimately, I have two of my own. It took time and patience, but we successfully transitioned to harnesses. If you are open to it, I am more than happy to discuss safe, effective, force-free alternatives that will keep your dog happy and secure on our walks.

Haley is great with my two notoriously difficult-to-work-with breed puppies. She communicates thoroughly, and is open to helping us find solutions for challenging walkers. I feel she has a genuine bond with my puppies, and I feel they are in good hands with her. Haley is wonderful to have come to your home! She is always respectful of our space, and I trust her there when I’m away. Overall, I completely recommend.

About: I’m currently studying animal science and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I also volunteer as a veterinary assistant in clinics, where I’ve gained skills in animal handling, health monitoring, and basic care. Additionally, I spent time in Costa Rica working with animals, which helped me build confidence with different breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m a student with a flexible schedule. I plan my days around classes, which allows me to dedicate consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends, and I always make sure pets get reliable attention and care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in any home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep spaces clean and secure, and pay close attention to behavior and health. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets calmly and recognizing any concerns early. I always aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.

About: Growing up we had various pets to take care of and learn responsibility for so my love of animals started young. I have over the years done drop in visits, overnight stays at your home as well as having your pet at my own place. Each pet is unique and their care should reflect that. I have cared for senior animals with various medication requirement as well as puppies just finding their bearings. I appreciate the simplicity of going for a walk and believe that having a dog alongside yo u enhances the experience. I currently work shift work with 5 days off at a time so my schedule fluctuates, but allows for an ample amount of free time to be adjusted for your needs. Prior to care, I would discuss with you the pet's schedule and routine as well as their needs to ensure they get the proper care. This would also include any additional information about your pet for situational circumstances and their personality. While your animal is in my care I do provide updates to give peace of mind.

Victoria was a great and reliable walker for my Bernese Mountain Dog while I was away on vacation. She was very prompt for her arrival times and always shared pictures and a well written summary of each walk which was above my expectations! It had us feeling like she wasn't too far away from us the entire trip. I'd highly recommend her for your dog walking needs.

About: Hi, i’m Rayne and am looking to start dog walking again I am excited to meet some new furry faces! i’ve been a lover of all animals since before I can even remember! I have a huge passion for working with all kinds of animals. Up to now I have taken care of every kind of breed of dog I can think of. I myself have cane corsos of my own, as well as the best cat i could have asked for. I love being around animals of all kinds! I have open availability and am able to watch/walk your animals at anytime, with great and negotiable rates. If you have any questions or concern please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for taking some time to get to know me :) I currently am unemployed at the moment so I am able to walk or watch your dog whenever is needed, I have a very open availability! I like to take the dogs for long walks or like to go to fields nearby so they can run off leash for a little bit and go wild (if owners permit me doing so), or also throw balls and other canine friendly toys. For pet sitting cats, i’ve never met a cat that didn’t make me their new best friend sooner or later. Feeding and additional care is never an issue but of course feel free for any specific requests on feeding and caring for your pets!

About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

About: Hi, My name is Lisa! :) Animals have always had such a special spot in my heart. Their innocence, loyalty and friendship is truly such a gift to us as humans. Being raised with multiple Golden Retrievers since I was 11 years old has taught me a lot about doggies. I have been around the puppy stage many times and I know that not only are they adorable but they do require babysitting and lots of attention. My own dogs, as well as others, have become seniors and I am aware of how delicate that season of their life is too. I am extra attentive to animals needs and am often the one in a group that over makes sure the dog has enough water, that they are up to date on eating and that their needs have been met. Snuggle time is also a bonus :) I can assure you that you won't need to worry at all if your fur-family member is being cared for when you are away! I have a family Golden Retriever. Although I am back and forth from my parents place, seeing him, spending time with him and being there for him is a pleasure! I am more than willing to come and stay at my clients homes while they are away to fursit! Whether its walks, runs, or special care that is needed for their loved one, I would love to be able to provide that for them.

Walter showed up promptly to meet Stryker and we made arrangements for 3 walks while we were on vacation. He showed up, sent pictures and a map of their walk. Put my mind at ease while away that he was getting exercise. Would definitely recommend Walter to anyone looking for pet care. Very satisfied.

We trust Julie 100% and Autumn always has a great time with her and Cocoa! We have a toddler and it’s not always easy to get Autumn the exercise she needs. Her weekly play dates with Julie and Cocoa are such a big help - her needs are met, she’s happier, and she’s more chill at home with us.
