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.

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!

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: For over three years, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for local strays, making sure they had food, clean shelter, baths, and the medications they needed to thrive. My passion for helping animals grew as I volunteered as an Adoption Process Specialist, guiding families through the joys and responsibilities of adoption, including understanding cat health, vet visits, and the cost of care. Most recently, I’ve had the privilege of working as a dog daycare handler, where I spent my days ensuring pups were happy, safe, and well-socialized. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to my flexible availability. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize providing consistent, attentive care, ensuring your pet feels loved and well-cared for no matter the time or day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure they feel right at home with cozy spots to nap, plenty of playtime, and a consistent routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I treat every pet like part of the family, offering lots of love and attention. When I care for pets in their own home, I stick to their usual routine to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or just cuddles, I make sure they’re well cared for and send regular updates so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands.

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. ❤️🐾

About: I love caring for dogs because they bring so much joy to our lives and each one has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have 16 years of experience caring for my family dog, Oscar, a Cockapoo who lived to 17 years old. Caring for him throughout his senior years taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s changing needs. In 2022, I fostered a 2-year-old Northern dog for four months. He weighed approximately 70 lbs, which gave me valuable experience handling and walking a medium-to-large dog and learning how to work with a dog with a different background and temperament. I currently live with Maxine, my 5-year-old Mini Goldendoodle, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog and their daily routine. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, and providing attentive care for small, medium, and medium-to-large dogs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare/house sitting, and overnight house sitting in your home. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re doing well while you’re away. I’m generally available with one day’s notice when possible, and I’m happy to discuss shorter-notice requests depending on my availability. As an Occasional Teacher with a flexible schedule, I have a lot of flexibility during the week to provide pet care. I can plan my teaching schedule around my pet-care commitments and am available for walks, drop-in visits, day sitting, and overnight house sitting. My goal is to gradually transition into pet care as my full-time career, so I’m excited to build lasting relationships with dogs and their families. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work with each dog’s individual routine and needs. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before the stay, I make sure I understand the owner’s instructions and their dog’s daily routine, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any specific needs. I follow the household rules and make sure doors, gates, and other potential safety concerns are secure. I’m attentive to how the dog is doing throughout the day and will contact the owner promptly if I notice anything unusual or have any concerns. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos by text, phone, or email so owners can relax knowing their dog and home are being well cared for while they’re away.

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 with dogs with many different need requirements and absolutely love caring for them. 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.

Peter is just WONDERFUL! Friendly, outgoing, considerate & the perfect companion to our golden retriever. We reached out to Peter to walk Moose every day we were on vacation, met him ahead of time (passed the Moose that with flying colours) & trusted him immediately. Moose's morning schedule meshed with Peter's; we received daily updates with the cutest pictures. Peter is open & kind, his live of dogs is obvious. We will definitely be working with Peter again & recommend him highly!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Vaughan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Vaughan on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 7,241 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.

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
  • 86% 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.
