“Samuel was incredibly patient and gentle with Tintin. He took the time to make sure Tintin was comfortable first and allowed him to get to know him at his own pace, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Tintin was in caring and capable hands. I highly recommend Samuel for your pet care! 🐾❤️”
“Amy is great - my 2 large retrievers really like her and are very excited when she comes to walk them. They are kind of psycho sometimes and each have very different personalities and she takes it all in stride. We’ve only worked with her for about a month but I appreciate her flexibility and her ease with big dogs. I hope to continue working together and would highly recommend Amy!”
“Benjamin was able to walk my vizsla buddy with very little input and follow instructions from the first time with no hassle. Booking him again for another walk. Nice job man!”
“Great Dog Walker Artin is very professional, friendly, punctual, and reliable. Artin walked my senior dog, and when they returned, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Artin to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker!”
“Nigel is the best!!!! Super friendly and went above and beyond to follow all my instructions. Always on time and took great care of my baby Cooper. I think they totally forged a secret friendship while I was at work and I hope they'll go on more adventures together in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“I can't recommend Diana enough! During her very first walk with my dog, she walked into a stressful situation where he had managed to eat two boxes of chocolate. She handled it with incredible professionalism and speed. She notified me immediately, told me how he was acting so I was reassured, sent photos of the evidence, and even left out the wrappers so we could calculate exactly how much he had ingested for the vet. To top it off, she actually came back to the apartment later to move the remaining packaging to a secure area to ensure he wouldn't get into anything else. Her quick thinking and clear communication were so reassuring on a day where I wasn't immediately available to come home. If you want someone who is observant, calm under pressure, and truly cares about your pet’s safety, hire Diana!”

About: I've done quite a bit of pet sitting, which has given me the ability to cater to a variety of different dog's personalities and needs. As well, I have also fostered rescue dogs and have my own. I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I promise to give your doggie the best possible care and am happy to accommodate special requests. I'll treat, respect and love your pet as my own. I will make sure to abide by their usual routines and follow your instructions as closely as possible to make their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I have my own dog Bella who is a very easy going husky mix. I can either keep her separate from you dog or they can socialize, whichever you prefer.

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have spent time with friend’s cats as well. I currently don't have any pets and am missing having furry buddies in my life and would love a walking buddy. I've done extensive research on dog care especially in the hopes of being well informed for taking care of your pets. I'm currently working part time in the evenings so I have very open availability during the day. I love walking and frequently go on walks by myself but would love a friend to bring along with me. I’d love to help people out with their furry babies because I know pet care is hard sometimes! Your pet is completely unique and should be treated as the unique individual they are! I will follow all directions you provide for your pet, making sure they are happy and healthy. I am adapt at figuring out what your pet needs and am happy to walk at any pace for them, whether they are young or old!

She has been an exceptional dog walker and caregiver, consistently demonstrating professionalism, responsibility, and genuine compassion for animals. She is extremely caring, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I have always felt completely confident leaving my pet in her care, knowing they would be safe, happy, and well looked after. She is punctual, trustworthy, and communicates clearly and thoughtfully. What truly stands out is her kindness and dedication. She treats the animals she cares for with patience, affection, and respect, going above and beyond to ensure their comfort and wellbeing.”
“Ash is a top-tier dog walker! While I was away, she helped my mom and aunt take such good care of my Tyson. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Ash. Your loved one will be in great hands. I will definitely be booking Ash again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Boya, and I’d love to care for your pet as if they were my own. I only take one booking at once so every pet gets my full attention. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can be stressful, so I make it my priority to provide reliable care and keep you updated and send you lots of photos/videos. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats during long-term stays, including a six-week dog sitting assignment and a four-week cat sitting assignment. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to your pet’s routine, whether that means energetic walks, play sessions, medication reminders, or quiet cuddle time. You’ll receive regular photos and videos, so you’ll always know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel comfortable and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I only take one booking at a time so your pet will get my full attention. I’m usually available on evenings and weekends as well. I live near several great parks in Midtown, so dogs can enjoy regular walks and time outside. I love being active, so taking dogs on walks is something I genuinely enjoy. I know every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to stick to it so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of attention based on their personality. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you know they’re happy and doing well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Toronto
Man Sze was very responsible and reliable! She picked Gus up and dropped him off, made sure he was fed, and took him on walks that he absolutely loved. I really appreciate how accommodating she was, especially since she was able to accept my last minute request. It was such a great experience, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog!
As soon as Bob met Katherine they hit it off instantly. Katherine is super communicative and lovely to work with. Super responsible and has a lot of experience with animals. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be reaching out to Katherine in the future for walks or pet sitting services. 10/10.
David is wonderful with Lana! She needs a little time to warm up, and he is always patient with her. Even after the walk, he makes sure she is settled before leaving. He also keeps us updated on the little things, which gives us peace of mind. We really appreciate his care and thoughtfulness.
Leilin is super communicative and responsive! She asked me in detail about what my dog needs and was able to meet me in the middle on scheduling, The walks were long and my dog slept well last night as after. My dog seemed pretty happy and didn’t make any mess at home either. I’m grateful for Leilin’s help!
I’m happy to recommend Christina. She walks my dog, Angie, when I’m at work. She is responsible, resourceful, and great at thinking on her feet. Christina is also willing to come at unusual hours when I’m working night shifts, and she is someone I can fully rely on.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Toronto is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 7,314 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Toronto. About 86% of Toronto 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 Toronto. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Toronto 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 Toronto 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 Toronto 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:
- 82% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
