âKimberly was great! Reliable, friendly, and thorough. She gave us lots of information about her walks. Having Kimberly walk our dog regularly helped us enjoy our March Break, knowing that our dog was in good hands. A tired dog is a good dog, and Kimberly helped us make sure we had a good dog. Thank you! Highly recommend.â


About: I have had dogs for almost my entire life and helped train them and taken care of them in almost every stage of their life from puppies to adults as well as seniors needing medication of various kinds. Iâm usually available to help care for your pets during evenings and weekends but sometimes can help during the day. Iâd love the opportunity to provide your pets with the care, attention, and companionship they deserve while youâre away. Id be happy to discuss the needs of your fur baby and how i can help meet those needs with walks, play time, feeding, belly rubs and more!
âMegaen is clearly a huge dog lover! She was easy to communicate with, came to meet my dog the day before, and very punctual. Sheâs walked my dog twice, both times taking him for a good length and reporting back afterwards. I was able to book her the day before I needed her & would definitely book her again!â

âTyrone was fantastic! Reliable, helpful, kind and thoughtful. We asked Tyrone to help with walks for our dog while she stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Stratford. Given the winter weather, and some mobility issues, we wanted to be sure our dog got some exercise while she stayed with them (a tired dog is a good dog!). Tyrone was a hero for us! He was so accommodating and helpful. We highly recommend him, and are very grateful to him.â

âAdam is very caring and kind. He has been a daily walker for us for a month now and takes our dogâs needs into account during challenging conditions, like weather, making sure she stays well. Adam communicates quickly if something arises and is very adaptable to time changes if he is able to accommodate. We completely trust him with our girl and she now looks very forward to seeing her new friend as well. I highly recommend Adam. He has been a godsend to us.â

About: Throughout my entire life, my family has always owned a pet from dogs to cats to even hamsters! So it was only natural that when I got a place of my own, I immediately wanted to own a dog to make the house feel more like home. I have owned two labs in my adult life so far, and the unconditional love that they give you is unlike anything else. After my first dog had passed three years ago, I became obsessed with watching dog training videos from various trainers. I made it my mission to train my new pup to the best of my ability and to give him the best quality of life. When he was young, at times the training seemed hopeless, but in the end, all of the hard work and persistence has paid off. He is such a good dog & walking is so much more enjoyable. Moral of the story is I am a patient, persistent, gentle and kind person. I understand that physical activity is so important to your dogs, physical and mental quality of life. Different interactions & scenery will help stimulate your dog and wear them out. My love for animals & furry companions runs even deeper as I am also an Artist that specializes in Pet Portraits. Honouring those loved ones, through a custom piece of art, that someone can cherish for years fills my soul! I am currently working part-time as a Pilates Instructor and looking to fill in my time with walking dogs in between my fitness classes during the week. I am able to come and pick up your pet and walk them around your neighbourhood or drive them to a new destination to give them mental stimulation in different environmental situations depending on your dogs needs and comfortability. The walk will be tailored to them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stratford
Natalie was a lifesaver after I had an accident and was unable to walk our very active pup. She responded within a very short time and managed to start the very same day. She is kind and clear with Fiona, our dog; reports clearly about elimination on walks; took our instructions about commands, etc., seriously, and has accommodated our schedule, which is different every day of the week. I can highly recommend her.

Kimberly was great! Reliable, friendly, and thorough. She gave us lots of information about her walks. Having Kimberly walk our dog regularly helped us enjoy our March Break, knowing that our dog was in good hands. A tired dog is a good dog, and Kimberly helped us make sure we had a good dog. Thank you! Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Stratford 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 931 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Stratford. About 85% of Stratford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether youâre 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 petâs 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 Stratford. 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 dogâs 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 Stratford.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dogâs walk begins.
While Rover doesnât 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 Stratford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days youâd 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 Roverâs 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 Stratford 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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
