About: I have years of experience caring for animals and genuinely love them. I’m a proud owner of two Bengal cats, so I understand high-energy pets, routines, patience, and personalized care. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Ive had cats and dogs around me my whole life and it honestly wouldn't be complete without any furry friends.

About: I have several years of personal experience caring for dogs and over a year of experience caring for cats. I understand the importance of feeding routines, fresh water, exercise, playtime, cleaning, companionship, and paying attention to changes in a pet’s behaviour or needs. I also completed hands-on pet grooming training, where I learned safe handling, brushing, nail care, and basic grooming techniques. I am patient, responsible, physically active, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet with kindness and will provide attentive care, companionship, and photo updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they are away. I am currently available for pet care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, mainly from 6 AM to 3 PM. I am also open to regular weekly visits and recurring care. I keep my schedule organized so I can arrive on time and give each pet my full attention. Safety and trust are very important to me.

I pay attention to changes in behaviour or condition and will contact the owner if I notice anything unusual. I also provide photos and updates after each visit.
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.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals I love, including regularly watching my dog nephew, along with friends' and family's cats and dogs. I've always treated their pets like my own, with a lot of patience, attention, and genuine affection, and I've never had anything but a great experience. I'm attentive to each animal's individual personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a specific routine, giving extra playtime, or just being a calm, comforting presence. What sets me apart is that I don't see pet care as a job, I see it as spending time with animals I genuinely love being around. Since I work a flexible, freelance schedule from home, pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a 9 to 5. I can easily build walks, visits, or check-ins into my routine at consistent times, and I have the flexibility to adjust if a pet's schedule needs something a little different. Working from home also means I'm not rushing in and out, I can spend real, unhurried time with your pet during each visit. Since I offer walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, the care I provide happens both in your home and, when needed, in mine. When I'm in your home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention I'd want for my own, making sure doors and gates are secure, following any specific instructions you leave, and keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. If a pet stays with me, I don't have pets of my own, so your pet gets my full attention without having to share space or navigate another animal's personality. Either way, safety comes first: I'm attentive, present, and never distracted when I'm caring for a pet, whether that's on a walk, during a visit, or overnight.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Vaughan is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $43 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 7,359 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Vaughan. About 86% of Vaughan 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 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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 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!
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.
