About: Hello 👋 there! My name is Michelle🧡 & my best friend Hunny🐾 ( You can see her profile in this app too). 🧡 WHY I CHOSE ROVER I first learned more about ROVER through PetWatch, which gave me a coupon when I registered Hunny's microchip with Petwatch. I had heard that ROVER is being recommended within the pet-care community and veterinarians. I value the service fees I am sharing with ROVER because they support the platform that connects us, provide ease of booking + payment tools, + ROVER offers protections + safeguards for pet parents, pets + sitters alike. After devoting so much of my life to my 30- yr nursing career, my marriage + raising my children, I am finally learning how important it is to follow MY own dreams, hobbies + passions too. Self-care, time in nature + new adventures have become especially meaningful during this stage of empty-nesting. And so begins my new adventure here on ROVER. 🐾 MY LIFE WITH ANIMALS I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs + cats and have always enjoyed sharing my life with animals of different breeds, sizes, ages + unique personalities. I currently have a very gentle mama: my 5-year-old, 59-lb Black + Tan Coonhound named Hunny. She loves going on walks with many of the dogs I meet. I always make sure to do a meet and greet first to make sure everyone knows each other. If she is with me on walk days, she waits in the car or van for her furry friends to come out to walk. There is no furry friend or human she meets who doesn’t love her and vice versa. I raised two Rhodesian Ridgebacks from puppies. Major lived to 11½ + LOVED flyball, so I still love playing fetch with dogs who enjoy retrieving. Maggie lived to age 13 + ran beside me when running was my passion. Nowadays, I love walking through neighbourhoods with big shade trees rustling, admiring flowerbeds with monarchs + bumblebees, listening to the birds singing songs ( especially Cardinals). Giving dogs sniffing time is so important for their mental well-being, just like us! After my two Ridgebacks, I fell in love with RESCUING Coonhounds. Beau Beauregard, Zellie Zoo Zoo + Belvey Belvedere have all crossed the beautiful Rainbow Bridge 🌈. Every one of these losses has taught me more lessons about love, patience + giving of SELF through the privilege of caring for another living being. As an RN and mum to my children + pets, I do not take special needs lightly. I am calm, patient, observant + very affectionate, and I am very comfortable following detailed routines, medication instructions, including oral medications + giving injections. I know how important routine toileting is + attentive personal care. I know how hard it is to be away from our fur babies. If a pet wears briefs, I am diligent about keeping them clean, dry + comfortable while protecting their dignity because of my years of caring for our sweet boy Belvey Belvedere. I can handle doggies who need an increase in FREQUENCY of visits for more attention (like every 2 hours) for potty breaks with brief changes. My nursing experience has also taught me to pay attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, special diets, mobility + overall well-being. Before long, I develop a deep bond with my furry friends—and I miss them when our time together ends. I look forward to meeting you soon! Michelle🧡 🐾 🏡🐾 Please see my fees (which includes ROVER's fees)👀 for my 30 min WALK rate OR 15 minute DROP-IN rate (economical pop-in's to your home) listed as your daily choices. Longer 60 minute WALKS listed too. EXTRA cost for ADDing on more dogs or cats. I can come by throughout the week + weekends-fitting your pet(s) in within my schedule. Just try to give me a heads up when you think you will need me for your vacations, or work schedule and I will do my best to accommodate you + your furry pet. I can stay overnight at your place if Hunny can come along with me. She does not mind any dogs or cats and is very respectful. I journal every day, + I take photos everywhere I go. You will receive photos + updates while you are away. I love capturing the little moments that remind us to be present: a happy dog sniffing something fascinating, a cat curled up in a favourite patch of sunlight, a peaceful walk, or a funny expression that tells an entire story. Thank you for reading my bio. I am excited to meet your family soon. ~ 🧡🐾Michelle 🧡 MY PROMISE TO YOU My focus is on reliability, trust and peace of mind. I provide dependable care + treat your dog, cat and home with the same respect + attention I want for my own. I am excited to be building a clientelle of new furry friends—+ perhaps some new human friends too. 🧡 I want to make your time away from home as comfortable and stress-free as possible for you. I know how hard it is to leave them. I care about making sure your pet(s) feels safe, loved + genuinely cared for. Your pet’s happiness is mine too! I GET it! I follow each pet’s normal routine and your instructions carefully so they feel safe + comfortable in their own home. I am attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding schedules + medications, + I do not leave a pet unsecured, off- leash unless it is in your own backyard, of course. My goal is for you to return to your pet(s) and they feel peaceful, loved and well-cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Tilbury is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 168 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Tilbury. About 84% of Tilbury 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 Tilbury. 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 Tilbury 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 Tilbury 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 Tilbury 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!
