Holly was great - she came the day before to meet frank which made me super comfortable to have her taking him out the next day and knowing alll his quirks. Read the weather and what Frankie could do and played with him inbetween. Lots of photos and videos and super obvious she loves dogs and has a way with them because Frank was so happy ! Cant wait to have her back - a great walker for my frankie baby.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.

About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and over the past few years I’ve gotten even more involved with caring for them. For the last five years, I’ve been walking dogs in my neighborhood and looking after all kinds of breeds with different personalities and needs. I’ve also helped a few dogs recover from injuries, making sure they stayed comfortable while still keeping a simple routine. I’ve been helping out more people in my community too—especially seniors who need support with feeding, walking, or giving their pets a bath. And of course, I have my own two-year-old dog at home who’s full of energy, so I’m very used to active dogs that need lots of attention and exercise. Taking care of dogs has always felt natural to me. I genuinely enjoy it, and I’m always happy to help. I’d love to give your dog the same patient, caring, and reliable support. I have a very flexible and open schedule, so I’m available to care for your pet any time of the day, any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll be happy to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, loved, and well looked after. I always treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for dogs in my client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding and walking routines closely, keep fresh water available at all times, and give plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I also pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs — whether that means going for long, energetic walks, enjoying some quiet cuddle time, or helping shy pets feel more confident. I keep owners updated with messages, photos, and notes after every visit so they always know how their pet is doing. With my experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, you can count on me to be reliable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to your pet’s happiness and well-being.

This was our first time leaving our Benji alone for a week. We were feeling very unsure and anxious as to how to go about this. Our daughter was getting married in Mexico and everyone we knew would attend. A friend mentioned Rover and we investigated. But who to trust? After a few attempts, we noticed Jade with all her great reviews. It was the right decision! Jade was prompt, courteous, lovely with huge smiles. Most importantly, Benji warmed right up to her! We knew it then. Our worries faded quickly. Every day, twice, we were texted the time of walking, the map of the route, his activity and pictures. It made our week! Jade was so consistent and thorough, we vowed to give her a big SHOUT OUT! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the assurance was greatly appreciated! :)

About: Hi, I'm Kirsten, but you can call me Kirty as all my friends do! I've been looking after animals for other people in my life for as long as I can remember. This is where my passion lies and I want to spend as much time with animals as I can. I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Next up on my list of things to learn is animal CPR! I will update once I'm certified. I work a part-time job with fairly flexible hours, and have had to balance both working and pet care many times over the last 5 years. My main priority is to do whatever is best for the pets, so I always find a way to fit them into my schedule. I'm very easy-going so we can always find something that works, together! I've spent many days and nights having slumber parties with pets at the owners houses. Whatever the pet needs, I'm there! I've had to follow special diets, provide medications, and even dealt with night terrors. I love to care for every animal as if they're my own!

About: Extremely experienced and have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I treat each pet like a family member with unconditional love <3 I am currently at home full time, so I will have unlimited time to spend with each and every fur baby! My schedule is very open; available for boarding almost 7 days a week! Caring for animals isn't just a job to me; it is natural and part of my every day life! Great size family home with lots of room and comfy furniture for them to feel right at home. I have a fully fenced in back yard, offering lots of play time outside. Awesome neighborhood for ample walks as well. I do have two friendly cats; both love and are used to dogs. If the need for crating is requested, I do have one available.

Excellent! Sarah helped with our dog, Nimbus, on a last minute weekend. She made a trip to visit and meet him and took good care of him on each visit between walks and making sure he had water and food. Even if he can be a slow / putzy walker some days! Very easy to communicate with. Would absolutely ask her again.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens! I love pets and I love to spend my time with animals. I care deeply about all beings and love to help those needed! I am studying Psychology at Brock University, though I have a flexible schedule. My goal is to prioritize my clients on Rover and my studies. I am open to most availabilities and am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I am very gentle, with reasonable boundaries, especially depending on any care considerations with each individual client! I cannot have pets full-time in my apartment as my roommate is slightly allergic, but play dates are all good!

We are very happy with the care Sarah provided while house sitting and for our two dogs (5 year old Labrador mix and 4 month old Border Collie mix) and two cats on short notice. Both of our dogs got their walks and meals each day. She was able to entertain our high energy puppy and keep the house neat and tidy. Sarah was reliable and trustworthy, making our experience worry free!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Thorold

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Thorold on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 641 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Thorold. About 87% of Thorold 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 Thorold. 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 Thorold.

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 Thorold 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 Thorold 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:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
