“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.”
“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.”
“Jessica was incredibly helpful when I broke my hand and needed extra support with my dogs. She is very reliable and friendly, always prompt, and genuinely happy to see them. She was also very patient and accommodating with my timid dog, Phinny. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and lizards. Currently, I share my home with two lovely budgies. As I am home full-time, your pet will never be left alone and will receive plenty of attention and supervision. I only care for one family's pet at a time, allowing me to focus completely on your pet's needs and routine. I have experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, and I adapt my care to each pet's personality and energy level. I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and enjoy taking dogs for walks in the nearby park. I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, and I speak both English and Russian. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am home full-time and available for pet care any day of the week. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking walks in the nearby park and spending time outdoors, making it easy to provide exercise and companionship for active pets. Your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time on my large fenced backyard. At home, we keep a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I closely follow any instructions provided and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I always respect the client’s space and stay only in the allowed areas of the house. To keep you connected and informed, I provide regular updates and photos.
About: I have sat and walked many dogs for family members, neighbours and for work. I have watched young puppies and cared for a senior dog in his last months which required giving medication and attending to his special needs. I currently work 3-4 times a week. But the rest of the week I should be fully available to look after your adorable fur babies I am very gentle and respectful to all animals and will show your pets the most loving and caring environment. I have a fenced backyard where your dogs can play and run around, and while I’m with them, they’ll always have someone to play with.
About: Hi there! My name is Janis, and I am a newly graduated veterinarian. I have had a lifelong love for animals and years of practical hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently offering dog walking, dog sitting, and pet care services with a very flexible schedule before I begin full time veterinary work at the end of July. Thanks to my extensive veterinary training and clinical experience, I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, monitoring senior pets, and helping anxious animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, a shorter stroll, playtime and enrichment, cuddles on the couch, or just a calm reassuring presence, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication while they’re in my care! Id love to meet you and your furry family members! I start full time veterinary work at the end of July. Until then, my schedule is extremely flexible and am happy to cater to anyone’s needs. Once I start to work, we can discuss more concrete times. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home for drop-ins, walks, or sitting visits, I do my best to stick closely to their normal routine so they can feel relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. As a newly graduated veterinarian, your pets safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including puppies/kittens, anxious animals, senior pets, and those with medical needs. I’m also trained to recognize subtle signs of stress or illness, which gives many owners extra peace of mind when trusting someone with their furry family member. For dogs, I priority safe walks, secure leashing/harnessing, hydration, enrichment, and lots of positive attention. For cats, I understand the importance of patience, calm energy, and respecting each cat’s individual comfort level. I know how nerve-wracking it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so communication is huge for me. You can always expect regular updates, photos, and honesty throughout my visits. My goal is not only for your pets to be well cared for, but genuinely excited to see me again!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for and training dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I adopted my 10-year-old German Shepherd when he was 1, and have raised and trained him since, so I understand the commitment, consistency, and patience needed for long-term care. Over the years, I’ve also dog-sat a wide range of breeds including Bichon Frise, Japanese Spitz, Samoyeds, Akitas, and Huskies. This has given me experience adapting to different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’m comfortable caring for both senior dogs who need a gentle, attentive routine, and puppies who require structure and training support. My approach is calm, reliable, and focused on making each dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. On a personal note, my dream is to one day help rescue and care for stray dogs in different countries. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I already care for my own 10-year-old German Shepherd, which includes regular walks, feeding, exercise, medication, and maintaining a consistent routine to keep him healthy and happy. I have experience dog sitting for other dogs throughout the week, so I’m comfortable adjusting my routine to fit different care schedules, whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. Overall, I’m organized, flexible, and genuinely enjoy having pet care as part of my everyday life rather than seeing it as an occasional task. Currently, I’m taking a career break, so I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, and any specific care preferences. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and get plenty of attention while you’re away, including playtime, walks, and companionship based on their energy level and personality. For dog walking, I ensure safe, structured walks that match each dog’s pace and needs. Whether it’s a calm senior dog or an energetic breed, I adjust the walk accordingly and prioritize leash safety, exercise, and mental stimulation. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to care for each pet as if they were my own, while respecting your home and maintaining a clean, reliable, and trustworthy presence.
About: Ive owned cats since I was 12 but have been taking care of small dogs before that for family members. I've walked, fed, played with and bathed them. I work remotely and take walks on my lunch break. I also have downtime in the evenings and take walks alone. Would love to have your dog accompany me on my walks! I always enter with caution in homes in case a pet tries to escape through the door. My doors are always closed and I also leave with caution to avoid a pet escaping. I will separate pets in different rooms with closed doors that don't get along - like cats and dogs that are not familiar with each other.

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned three dogs of my own over the years. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've helped look after many dogs in my neighbourhood and always enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. In fact, I'm probably guilty of knowing most of my neighbours by their dogs' names first! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day and ensure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner so I can provide consistent care.

“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vaughan
Crystal has been amazing with our dog Duncan! She’s incredibly accommodating, and we were so impressed with how quickly Duncan warmed up to her; especially since he’s usually a bit wary of strangers. Now he absolutely loves his “walkies” with her and even tried to follow her home one day! We’re so grateful to have found someone he feels so comfortable with.

There are 7,404 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Vaughan. About 85% 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.
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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Vaughan.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
