“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!”
“Katherine was a great help to us while we were away. She came to walk both of our dogs accommodating the individual needs of each dog with walks, cuddles and playtime. We are happy to have a reliable person to call on when we need assistance in the future.”
“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.”
“Booth was fantastic! A very kind and genuine person, and took good care of our dog! Very punctual for walks and took him on a nice long walk despite there being a Snow storm. Thanks booth!”
“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: Hey there! Thanks for taking a look at my profile! It's been a few years since I originally started with Rover, and while I've been away, I've become an accredited, professional dog trainer! I do offer positive reinforcement and fear-free training through my business, but decided to come back to Rover to offer basic services as well! While I love training, I know there are many pet parents out there that may not need, or want, professional training services for their pets, and that's TOTALLY OKAY! By choosing me for your pet care needs, you benefit from having an animal services professional care for your furry family member (at a reduced rate compared to training focused services) AND I get to care for pets I may not normally see! It's a win-win! If you're interested in booking services, please schedule a meet and greet! I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I run my own dog training business, so my schedule is quite flexible. I am able to fit visits and walks in between training sessions. Caring for your pet in their own home, provides the comfort of their safe place while their humans are away at work or on vacation, allowing them to maintain as close to their usual routine as possible! I will consult with you ahead of time to make sure I have everything I need to ensure everything goes smoothly, leaving you one less thing to worry about while away from your pet!

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.

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 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 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:
- 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.
