“We had Holly come by and walk our dog Winnie while we were out of town for the day. Holly followed all instructions very clearly and showed up on time. She took Winnie for a nice long walk and ensured she was fed and comfortable before leaving. She was very communicative and sent lots of great photos. Highly recommend having Holly look after your pet, and we will definitely be hiring her to come back and look after Winnie again!”
“Hunter & Jonathan hit it off! So appreciative of Jonathan’s services- he is very personable, reliable and I appreciate that Hunter can have his walks to break up his day while I am @ work. It provides me peace of mind. I will definitely be continuing which this great service.”
“Great experience with Connor! He was very reliable and able to cater to Milo’s needs (reactive on leash). He’s knowledgeable and clearly a big dog lover! Very happy overall.”
“Jenny has been a great help walking my dog and is very accommodating with my schedule. My dog is always happy to see her and she leaves detailed walk summaries. I look forward to continue booking with her.”
“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! :)”
“Gillian was absolutely AMAZING!!! Whisky was such a happy boy having gone on walks with Gillian and I was told that he very much looked forward to seeing Gillian and his daily walks with her while I was away. Gillian was incredibly easy to work with and so very accommodating!!! I/we are THRILLED and will be booking with her again!!! HIGHLY recommended ❤️”
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.
About: Experienced caring for my own cats and pet sitting friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles! 🐾 i work for my self so my schedule is very flexible. I have an open schedule so I can work around any schedule as long as I’m given enough notice Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, routines, feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any household rules you provide. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are kept secure. I know every pet has a different personality, so I’ll give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I’ll never force interaction and will pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being well cared for. If I notice anything unusual or have any concerns, I’ll contact you right away. 🐾❤️
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!
“This was the first time using a dog walking service . I can’t say enough about Karen and rover . Karen was amazing, sent pictures every day and kept us posted on the walks. I will definitely be using this service 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!
“Victoria did a great job with mason! He loved her company and he looked so happy in the pictures and videos she sent throughout the day. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: Trustworthy, attentive, and empathetic, I love caring for dogs. I have 5 years of experience being a dog mom, and am a trusted dog aunt to the pets of family members and friends. Without a dog of my own right now, I am looking to help others who may need a trusted dog walker or sitter to help keep pets active, joyful, and feeling loved when they are away. I am someone with a flexible schedule. I am consistently available in the early morning, evenings and weekends for dog walking. I am open to coordinating schedules, and finding routines that are mutually beneficial. When meeting new dogs, I try to let them come to me while showing them that I am safe and trustworthy. I do this by ensuring their needs are met, speaking to them kindly, and giving them the consideration that every living being deserves.
“Kallie was so great with Harlowe! She provided excellent updates the entire time and made me feel so comfortable. You can tell she really loves and cares for your pet. I will definitely be booking with Kallie again in the future! Harlowe absolutely adored her ?”
“Emily has continued to be a constant and reliable caregiver for our dog Woody. She is always available and flexible to accommodate us. I feel like she loves woody like we do and she provides us with amazing feedback and suggestions on how to help Woody be the best boy possible. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog. Emily is dedicated, insightful and caring. Thank you Emily !!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thorold
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!

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.
