“Title: Pawsitively Wonderful Dog Walker! I couldn't be happier with the dog walking services provided by Arjun. Arjun is not just a dog walker; he is a dog enthusiast. His genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction, creating a positive and joyful experience for my pet. It's evident he prioritizes the well-being and happiness of the dogs in his care. Communication is seamless, and I appreciate the regular updates and cute snapshots sent during walks. It's evident that Arjun goes the extra mile to ensure not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation for Casper(our dog).”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and love working with all breeds and ages. I'm experienced with leash training and basic puppy obedience, and bring a calm and energetic approach to every walk and visit. I work mostly evenings, so I am available throughout the day. This means I have plenty of time to play with/walk your pup while you are at work! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and pay attention to details like leash fit and environment during walks or visits.

“Bonnie and her daughter Cheyenne walked my dog everyday for a month while I recuperated from surgery. They were wonderful! They were reliable and trustworthy. Bella was super excited to see them and they quickly learned her walking routines. Because they work together they were able to accommodate my need to have Bella walked everyday. They care they provided to Bella gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend them.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical or special care needs. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following special diets, maintaining routines, and caring for pets recovering from illness or surgery. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I tailor every visit to their individual personality and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and one-on-one attention while you’re away. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust, reduce stress, and make each visit a positive experience. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re home again. I’m available every weekend and also offer weekday visits by request, depending on my schedule. I carefully plan my bookings so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I strive to be punctual, reliable, and consistent with your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I primarily provide pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain feeding and medication schedules, provide exercise, enrichment, and companionship, and monitor for any changes in behaviour or health. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Home boarding may also be available by request for compatible pets after a meet-and-greet, depending on the pet’s temperament, needs, and availability.

About: I have both professional and personal experience working with dogs and cats! I’ve worked in doggy daycares since I was 15 while also caring for family and neighbourhood cats. Additionally, I’m a Veterinary Assistant student that’s received a fear-free certification along with CPR/first aid training. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them! At the moment, I work part-time at a nearby doggy daycare but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate the needs of any future clients I always ensure I’m creating a safe environment for the dogs in my care, if we’re walking or at home. On walks I’ll always survey the area and watch your dogs body language to check for any anxiousness and handle all situations with a calm and collected demeanour.

I’m a real estate agent with years of experience in customer service, relationship building, and caring for others. I pride myself on being compassionate, dependable, attentive, and detail-oriented. As a dog lover, I love the opportunity to spend more time outdoors, getting fresh air and exercise while caring for and walking dogs. Real estate offers me a very flexible schedule, making dog walking a perfect fit for my lifestyle. I can enjoy my love for the outdoors while providing dogs with the attention, exercise, kindness, and care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I provide loving, attentive, and compassionate care to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. My care includes daily walks, playtime, feeding, providing fresh water, and administering any necessary medications according to the owner’s instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, behaviour, and well-being, making sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and attention.

About: Hi there! I’ve spent the last four years working hands-on with Full Circle Rescue, where I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. From big, strong pullers to shy or sensitive pups, I’ve learned how to adapt my approach so every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m experienced with a wide range of sizes and temperaments, and I truly enjoy building trust with each dog I work with. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk or calm, attentive care, I’m committed to providing dependable, thoughtful service and plenty of love along the way. I’m available weekdays and have open availability on weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and can be flexible depending on you and your pet’s needs. I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free. I can also crate your dog if needed. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who can provide great companionship if your dog enjoys being around others. I always take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable.

About: Hey! I'm Bree, a dedicated pet sitter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid, and over the years I've built real experience with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence. I’m experienced caring for brachycephalic dogs, working with dogs with a bite history and all kinds of behavioural challenges, and keeping a close eye on escape artists who love to test their boundaries. Alongside that, I also care for cats, turtles, fish and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has their own very specific routine, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention! I offer a range of services to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need boarding (if more comfortable, Luna and Ivy can be boarded at my mom's during your pet's sit), overnight care, or daily pet sitting, I’m here to help. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking services. I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I can build my day around your pet’s routine instead of the other way around. That means I can stay at your home for overnights, fit in morning and evening visits, and be there for midday feedings, medication times, or a check-in when your pet needs company. If your pet likes having someone around, I can work from your place while I’m there. Last-minute bookings, longer trips, and holiday coverage are often possible too, and I’m happy to keep to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule down to the minute. I care for pets in whatever setting suits them best, whether that’s in your home or mine. Most animals are calmest in their own space, so I’m happy to come to you for drop-in visits, daily sitting, or overnight stays. Boarding in my home is also available for pets who do well in a new environment. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep an eye on the house, bring in the mail, and water plants if needed. In my home, pets get a safe, secure, supervised space, along with the same routine, exercise, and company they’re used to. Either way, you’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience giving medications and injections, and I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or need extra patience. We’ll go over your pet’s routine, quirks, and any special needs at a free meet and greet before the first booking.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Tapleytown

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 Tapleytown. 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 Tapleytown 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 Tapleytown 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 Tapleytown 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.
