“Kayla met and walked our Wheaten Terrier for the first time yesterday. She was prompt and very kind with both pup and dog mom. She immediately crouched down to meet our pup at eye-level, which was a good sign. She has dogs of her own and showed comfort and confidence in dealing with both of us. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I have had a dog my entire life. From my first dogs being black labs, to a small pug, to adopting a German Shepard lab. I love all dogs.. Big or small, messy or clean, I will take care of your dog and it’s needs. I’ve learned how to train dogs and learned tricks to understanding dogs better when needed. I currently live in St. Mays. I don’t go to school as I have graduated and finished University&College. Your dog will always have company & toys to play with at all hours of the day. I’m currently working full time with the OPP. Always 12 hour shifts, days and nights on a set schedule for the year. No matter what time it is when I have to leave for work or come home from work I will always walk the dogs. Taking them for long walks helps not only the dog but also me. Always having an eye on them and making sure they’re in a safe spot in the house. If there is a spot in the house that isn’t safe for them, I will use a barrier or something to make sure they don’t go to that area of the house. Such as stairs for little puppies, I will make sure to watch them if they’re trying to go up or down or block it off so they don’t have to use them. I make sure they have water 24/7 and have food when they are supposed to be fed. Lots of cuddles of course and making sure they have all the attention they need. Fresh water in the morning, make sure they get fed at the same time as they would at home with their owners. Making sure the pet feels comfortable and safe wherever they are in the house. I will make sure your pet always has water 24/7, they will always be surrounded by cuddles and is allowed anywhere in the house. They are allowed on anything and everything that is in the house.

About: I’ve been caring for my beloved Cockapoo for over three years. Together, we’ve traveled the world — from Turkey to China, Canada, and the U.S. These experiences have taught me how to keep pets calm and happy in new environments. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on each pet’s comfort and unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I’ll care for them like they’re family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I start each morning with a walk and playtime, and I always make time throughout the day for feeding, bathroom breaks, and cuddles. On weekends, I often explore pet-friendly parks and trails. Since I already care for my own dog daily, integrating another pet into my routine feels seamless and joyful. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and make sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need to feel happy and secure. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I keep dangerous objects out of reach, monitor doors and gates carefully, and follow the pet’s daily routine as closely as possible. I take time to build trust by approaching animals gently and respectfully, and I always provide lots of love, attention, and care to make them feel at ease — like they’re right at home.

I’ll make sure to clean food and water bowls, clean up their waste areas (litterboxes, pee pads, etc.), and give many cuddles if they're comfortable with 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 Uniondale. 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 Uniondale 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 Uniondale 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 Uniondale 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.
