Megaen is clearly a huge dog lover! She was easy to communicate with, came to meet my dog the day before, and very punctual. She’s 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!

Adam is very caring and kind. He has been a daily walker for us for a month now and takes our dog’s 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.

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.

Alice needed a male figure since she had one growing up and no longer does. When I come home, Alice is much more calm than she has been in a long time. So glad Walter was able to give her the exercise and play time she needs :) Thank you!

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.

I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Stratford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Stratford on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 900 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Stratford. About 85% of Stratford 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 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 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 Stratford.

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 Stratford 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 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:

  • 80% 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.
