About: As a mature adult with 20+ years as a teacher and leader in public education, I understand people. But a love for dogs and all pets has me excited about this new adventure. I have owned pets my entire life and would be happy to show yours the same love I show my own. Beginning July 1, I am available seven days a week for drop in visits with your pet, dog walking or visits at my own home with my own dogs. I have a fenced in yard for the safety of your pets and mine. I can tailor your pets care to suit their and your needs.
About: Can walk play or work with your dog in town or take your dog to the beach fields woods or trails. You pick the level of exercise engagement fun or work that you want for your dog. Off leash experience has been with working breeds only - such as - retrievers, terriers, and sheepdogs. New to Rover and Rates reflect my goal to start helping out! I'm an avid hiker and spend at least an hour each day in the woods, beaches or fields of PEI. My schedule is flexible, and rain or shine, I'd be happy to bring your dog along! I'm here to accommodate you and your pet's needs - whether you prefer walks in town or out or want your dog on-leash or off-leash.

About: I love dogs of any size and personality. I have experience working with golden retrievers, labs Jack Russell‘s GSP, hounds and many other dogs of all sizes.I may be a bit biased but golden retrievers are my absolute favourite. It would be my pleasure to walk, play or keep your goldens company on your busy days. You can trust that your furry family member will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t have any pets at this time as I travel too much for work but I look forward to being your dogs temporary dog mom! I work shift work and often have days off during the week. My schedule would be ideal for someone working Monday to Friday who needs help with their pet durring working hours Monday- Friday and occasional nights and weekends. I plan to give your pets the best care so I will only have pets from one house hold at a time to ensure your pets have my full attention
About: I have had dogs throughout my whole life. I am comfortable with all sizes and their unique personalities. After decades in hospitality and guest care, I bring that same attention , communication and reassurance to your pets. I recently sold a very busy business. with a desire for a more balanced life , I now work part-time from home with a very flexible schedule. I love the outdoors and live next to a trailhead for daily walks in the woods. I wanted to combine my love of being outside and moving , with my adoration for dogs. With our two children grown and gone, we have plenty of space in our two story home. We have a large yard and live next to a very large park with extensive trails throughout the woods. We also have the space to crate your pet, should you require. We recently lost our dog Brady of ten years and our home is a well loved dog home where pets are free to roam and be. We are not in the position to have a pet full time but caring for others is the perfect fit.

There are 41 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Summerside. About 85% of Summerside 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 Summerside. 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 Summerside.

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 Summerside 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 Summerside 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.
