About: Cats and dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I love getting outside for walks, playing, exploring, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, from playful and adventurous pups to those who prefer a slower stroll and lots of cuddles. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel happy, loved, and safe. Working shift work, my schedule varies from week to week—but that also gives me flexibility on my days off! I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability and am happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. I’m especially happy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits when I’m off work. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously! I’ll treat your pup like family, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, supervised, and having a great time. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: My typical day involves lots of outdoor adventure and fun for your pets. Whether it’s hiking new trails or enjoying playtime, I ensure your furry friends are happy and relaxed after a full day of activities. Their energy means more joy for both of us! I have extensive experience caring for various animals, including administering medication and providing support for pets with unique behavioral needs, like my own furry friend with anxiety. My background in pharmacy enhances my understanding of medications, allowing me to provide compassionate and knowledgeable care for dogs, cats, and more. Pet care is something I genuinely love having as part of my routine! I enjoy getting outside for walks, playing with pets, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning walks, regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d be so excited to make pet care a regular part of my week and get to know some amazing pets along the way! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I always make sure to follow your usual routine :) I’ll stick to their feeding, walking, potty, medication (if needed), and playtime schedules, while giving them plenty of love and attention along the way. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure doors and gates are secure, and leave everything the way I found it. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. 🐶🐱❤️

About: **About Me – Animal Experience 🐶🐱** I am an animal lover who enjoys spending time with and caring for animals. I understand the importance of treating animals with kindness, patience, and respect. I am willing to learn about their individual needs and help provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I am responsible, caring, and passionate about animal welfare, and I would love the opportunity to gain more experience working with animals. I'm currently working full time that's 8 hours a day that's why I can only do Sat or Sun once a week only if possible. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any special care needs. I provide plenty of attention, gentle playtime, and affection while respecting each cat's personality and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behaviour or health. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Ashley was amazing. Velvet has had issues in the past with other walkers and not wanting to leave the house cause of her anxiety. Ashley was very attentive to her needs and convinced her to walk a whole 30 minutes which is incredible. I would highly recommend her.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Stroud

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 Stroud. 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 Stroud 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 Stroud 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 Stroud 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.
