“Darwin was great with Cali for her first walk. Darwin is incredibly patient, friendly and attentive to our dog's needs. Its clear that he genuinely cares and takes the time to make sure Cali is happy and comfortable. Darwin sent videos and pictures throughout the walk. We feel very confident that Cali in such caring hands. We would highly recommend Darwin”
“Huge thanks to Yogita and Dibakar for taking such wonderful care of our pet over the past 5 days. They were extremely patient, caring, and highly professional throughout. They paid attention to every single detail we shared and followed everything perfectly. Their punctuality and genuine love for animals really stood out. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such capable hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for countless of dogs including my own and those of my extended family and friends. I’m an avid walker and thoroughly enjoy long, brisk daily walks, preferably with a canine companion! At this time I cannot commit to having my own pet, so Rover fits my lifestyle perfectly. I also love spending time and spoiling my Grand Dog Cookie!❤️🍪😀 I’m recently retired so my availability is quite flexible, including weekends. I am fit and active, and enjoy daily walks and exercise. I also enjoy bonding with dogs and getting to know their quirky personalities. I’m an experienced dog owner, having the honour and privilege of loving our beloved Boxer who has sadly passed. I have a large, fenced yard and enjoy long walks together with playful yard time with my canine friends.
“Julia is walking my large-breed puppy every day, cutting her day in half while I am at work. She is reliable, very caring and provides puppy with lots of exercise (and toys!) to brighten up her day. Thank you, Julia, for a great service.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I could remember & I wouldn’t have it any other way. I currently have a small dog who I take on hikes & the dog park regularly so your pride & joy will be joining our wonderful adventures. When we are home, they will have 24/7 access to a gated backyard but if they prefer cuddle, that’s also available. Your pet will feel like just they’re home. I’m currently not working which means I have a lot of time to spend with your pet whether it’s going to the dog park, hanging out on the couch or going on a hike. My backyard is the perfect space for your pet to run around & play. I will respect your wishes in regards to the dos and don’t with your pet because I would want someone to respect my rules with my dog.

I’ll take care of your dog as if it were my own.
“Nicki was amazing with helping us out last minute to walk our Jackson. She takes the time to build trust with your dog, and we really love that! She provided us a detailed update about his walk, and Jackson was very comfortable with her. Will definitely be hiring her again to walk Jackson 🤗 thanks Nicki!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life in all shapes and sizes and for the past 5 years I have cared for and trained my own Golden Retriever named Archie. I have dog sat for family/friends on a regular basis. I am fully aware of how important a dogs routine can be to their behavior and well being and plan my days around the routine me and my dog have developed but I am looking to add more dogs into that routine. Having a larger breed dog myself, I know what to expect and how to handle them whether its on the leash or in the house. Pet Care fits into my daily routine as I am currently working part time, leaving me with plenty of time to meet your dogs daily needs and really get to know them and build that rapport to where they're excited to see me all the time! I care for pets to the best of my ability with whatever they need to make them feel comfortable and fulfilled with their daily routine. I want the dogs to feel as comfortable as possible to keep happiness levels as high as possible. In my experience a well exercised tired dog is a happy dog and that what I hope to bring to the table for any dogs that cross my path on Rover.
About: I've taken care of many dogs over the past 15 years, my dad fostered dogs when I was in high school so I've been around a lot of different temperaments. I've also raised my own dog from a puppy so I'm familiar with training practices and have experience with a range of ages. I have a lot of free time during the week which allows me plenty of time to spend spoiling your pets with food and attention! I am always caring and patient with any new animal I encounter, giving them time to adjust and being gentle with them until they are comfortable. I understand animals body language and know when to give space when it's needed.
About: I am fun and energetic with all types of pets, big or small. Know that your furry friend will be safe, taken care of, and pampered appropriately! I am currently offering full and open availability to be able to accommodate and be flexible for any of your pets needs. Their routine is mine! While I currently cannot board any pets in my home I always take care of any animals as if they are my own. I am very thoughtful and aware of pet's needs and strive to make sure they feel comfortable and happy around me.

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 Thornton's Corners. 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 Thornton's Corners 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 Thornton's Corners 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 Thornton's Corners 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.
