“Thank you Titana for taking such good care of my Billy for the past few weeks. He was always so excited and happy to see you and slept like a log after the walks. Rover is very lucky to have you on their team.”
“Sarah walked our Toy Poodle for almost a whole year every week. She is very reliable and well liked by our dog. Very friendly and easy to talk to. We're sad to lose her since she is too far from us now.”
“Emily was great. She has a great personality. Luna is quite fussy but she liked emily the first day they met. Luna enjoyed hanging out with Emily. She was always on time and very easy to work with. I recommend Emily if you need a dog walker.”
“Victoria really cares about the dogs she walks, and my dogs love their walks with her! She went out if her way to find out about my dogs before their first walk and made me very comfortable to leave them with her. Highly recommend Victoria.”
“Absolutely thrilled with the dog walking service provided by David! Our family hired him for two weeks while we were on vacation, and he has been exceptional. He’s incredibly responsible, always punctual, and, most importantly, our beloved dog Nico adores him. It’s heartwarming to see Nico so excited to spend time with him every day. David has gone above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier with his service. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a caring and reliable dog walker!”
“We LOVE Oleksandra! She was so lovely during the meet-and-greet, and so sweet to our puppy Benji, that I knew he would be in good hands with her while we're at work. Oleksandra arrived early for the walk and stayed a bit extra to make sure that he went to the washroom before returning him to our home. She also sent us like 15 pictures of him (all of them really cute), which was awesome. Communication was excellent, since her replies were very prompt. I will 100% be re-booking when I need help during weekdays.”
About: Serving Kleinburg, Woodbridge, Maple & Concord (Vaughan) 🐾 Leaving your pet with someone else can feel like a BIG deal. You want to know they’re safe, loved, and with someone who will genuinely care for them. That’s exactly the kind of care I want to provide. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits at your home, as well as pet care in my own home. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a walk, stop by to feed and spend time with your pet while you’re away, or provide a comfortable place for them to stay, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care and attention. I’ve loved being around animals my whole life and grew up caring for as many as 10 cats at once. I have experience with cats and dogs with seperation anxiety, high/low energy, different personalities and needs. I’m patient with pets who may need a little extra time to feel comfortable and trust someone new. I live with my husband in a 2,500 sq. ft. detached home in Vaughan with a fenced backyard (please see the attached pictures of the house), giving your pet plenty of space to feel comfortable. They can sniff around the my trees and grass in the backyard whenever they want, which is their way of discovering. Whether your furry friend loves walks, playing outside, fetch playtime, cuddles on the coach or simply having their own space, I’ll pay attention to what makes them happiest. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual feeding and care routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’ll keep their space clean and make sure they get the right amount of walks, playtime, attention and rest. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away like I would want it if I had a pet. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 - (I don't have any pets/cats) - Please note: Pickups more than 15 minutes late will incur a late fee of $7.50 for every 15 minutes past the scheduled time. - If your dog or cat causes significant damage to the home or furniture beyond normal wear, I will contact you to discuss any replacement costs. I am currently home all week long. So I can spend quality time with your pet and give him/her love and attention that he/she needs. I have a fenced backyard and a detached house and I don't have any animals. So, your furry friend would be free to walk around in the house and the backyard.
About: Growing up with dogs since age 12 gave me a foundation in canine behavior and care. I've developed my skills by regularly walking, feeding, and bathing friends' dogs, including Labs, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. My athletic background makes me uniquely suited for high-energy breeds. I've successfully worked with reactive dogs who need focused, one-on-one attention during walks. My running ability allows me to provide the intensive exercise these dogs need when off-leash time isn't suitable. Recently certified in Pet First Aid through Canadian Red Cross (July 2025). I also share my home with two cats (ages 2.5 and 1.5), so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households. I understand that energetic breeds need both physical exhaustion and mental stimulation to be truly satisfied, and I incorporate both into every walk. As an incoming grad student with a flexible timetable, I'm building my pet care business around my academic schedule. Currently available weekday afternoons from 3 PM onwards, with excellent availability through August. Once the fall semester begins, I'll maintain afternoon availability and may add morning slots depending on my class schedule. I'm committed to maintaining regular walking schedules with my clients and will provide advance notice of any schedule changes. Pet care fits perfectly with my lifestyle as an active person who needs daily exercise myself. Walking dogs isn't just a job for me, it's part of my daily fitness routine, which means your dog gets an enthusiastic, energetic walker every single time I focus exclusively on professional dog walking services to ensure each dog receives my full attention and the best possible care. During walks, I: - Keep dogs securely leashed unless in designated off-leash areas (with owner permission) - Carry Pet First Aid supplies and fresh water - Avoid busy roads when possible, preferring quieter residential streets and trails - Never walk more dogs than I can safely control - Send photo updates so you can see your pup having fun I maintain constant vigilance for potential hazards like aggressive dogs, traffic, or items dogs might ingest. With my Pet First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle emergencies while immediately contacting both the owner and nearest vet if needed. My athletic ability ensures I can maintain control even with strong, excitable dogs, keeping your pet safe throughout our time together.
“Aileen was prompt and made sure to ask any pertinent questions before the first walk with Chase. He came back happy from his walk and I would not hesitate to book Aileen for services.”
About: Hi! I’m Tugce, and animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that’s where my lifelong love for them began. I’m completely obsessed with cats—they truly have a special place in my heart. If animals could talk, I’d probably spend more time talking to them than people! Their personalities, little habits, and unconditional love always make me smile. Playing with dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy every moment. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to give your furry family member the attention, supervision, and companionship they deserve. They will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Please note that, due to the size of my home, I currently offer cat boarding only. I want every pet to have enough space to feel comfortable, so I don’t board dogs in my home. However, I’m always happy to provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for dogs in their own familiar environment. I’m also available for same-day and last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. I absolutely love taking photos, so you can expect lots of picture and video updates throughout the day. I know how reassuring it is to see your furry friend happy, relaxed, and having fun while you’re away. I’m more of a night owl, so late-evening and overnight care are never a problem for me. Since I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and I’m usually available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I truly believe pets are family. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, love, and respect. My goal is to give both you and your pet complete peace of mind while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, going for walks, or simply keeping them company, I love being around animals and making them feel happy, safe, and loved. ❤️🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. From my experience, every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. That’s why I take the time to observe and understand each animal so I can provide care that suits their individual needs. I believe paying attention to a pet’s behavior is important, and I always adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with playtime, enrichment activities, and companionship while respecting their boundaries and routines. I also understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet, so I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same level of patience, attention, and affection. ❤️🐾

“Jasmine is totally reliable and kind and gentle with Millie. Even though it hasn’t been that long, Millie gets excited to see Jasmine and is obviously very comfortable with her.”
About: 🐾 I Treat Pets Like Family 🐶 Loving & Dependable Care 🐾 Genuine Love for Pets ❤️ Caring From the Heart 🐶 Patient, Loving & Kind 🐾 Care You Can Trust I work for the school board during the day but I am very flexible after 3:30, evenings and weekends.

About: Expanding my services to dog walking :) Have been taking care of dogs for friends and have fostered one medium/large size dog. I really enjoy taking them on walks and watching them play at dog parks! I observe the behavior of the animals and try to understand their thoughts and intentions. I believe this way we see from their perspective rather than imposing our ideas on them. Currently I am not accepting pets into my own home as I have one cat who is terrified of dogs. However, I believe all pets deserve a safe environment and I do my best to provide that even if it is on dog walks / in dog parks.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and comfort level. I currently care for my Cockapoo, Lexi, and I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, treats, playtime, grooming and monitoring behaviour. I’m patient, attentive and always focused on keeping dogs safe, happy and comfortable. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and love being outdoors, staying active and spending time with dogs. Dog walking feels like something I genuinely enjoy rather than a job. I have plenty of flexibility during the day, which means I can give your dog my full attention rather than rushing through a walk. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or visiting a client’s home for a walk, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Before each walk, I make sure your dog is comfortable and ready, follow your instructions and routine, and keep safety my top priority. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and pace, whether they love a long energetic walk or prefer a slower stroll with lots of sniffing. When I return your dog home, I make sure they are settled comfortably and that everything is left just as I found.

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 Vaughan. 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.

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 Vaughan 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!
