About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and species as long as I can remember. I am very cognizant of all the animals in my care and find I can read their cues like a book. I am learning dog training and have worked hard with my dog on his skills. I am no stranger to giving pups medication as well, let me know what your pups needs and I can take care of them as if they were my own! I am currently a stay-at-home mom of 1, so I have lots of time and love to give your furry family. We are quite flexible so let us know your needs for care and we will be happy to oblige! We have a large fenced backyard, the dog beach nearby and 2 dog parks not far from our house. We have 1 dog and 3 cats in the home so we are very familiar with accommodating different personalities and their needs! We can crate pups if they need some space or we have a deck that they can lay on to get some sun.

Jacquelyn is an excellent communicator, and is very reliable. My pup accepted her quickly as his walker. I would (will) book her again without hesitation. You should too!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and recently said goodbye to my two sweet pups who both lived beautiful, full lives to 16 years old. Caring for them through every stage — from playful puppy days to their senior years — gave me deep patience, attentiveness, and love for animals at every age. I understand how much pets mean to a family because mine were truly my heart. I treat every dog in my care with the same gentleness, respect, and affection, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep my schedule flexible. My days off during the week and on weekends allow me to care for your pet 100% of the time — they won’t be left alone for long stretches. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, play, and rest so your pet gets consistent attention and supervision. Whether it’s multiple daily walks, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m fully present and focused on their care while they’re with me. 🐾 Safety and trust are everything to me. In my home, pets are supervised, loved, and treated like family. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I make up for it with frequent structured walks and outdoor time on a long leash in the yard so they can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy fresh air. I’m attentive to each dog’s energy level and routine — whether that means extra playtime, slower senior strolls, or sticking closely to feeding and medication schedules. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and provide updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. 🐾

About: I’ve spent over 5 years working professionally in Doggy Daycare(s) in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. With these jobs, I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside very intelligent and experienced dog trainers, giving me some beneficial knowledge to use and share! Things about me to help ease your mind: • Pet first aid certified (through The Hound Lounge Inc. and Aldergrove Animal Clinic) • Capable of medication administration (oral, topical, injection) • Able to do nail trims and ear cleanings (please note I will not be able to perform these if your pet is showing signs of stress - but I’ll always try my best!) • Comfortable with any breed, size and age • As previously mentioned, lots of professional experience through doggy daycare/boarding facilities, animal shelters, pet stores and previous dog walking/pet sitting jobs. My messages are currently open for inquiries and bookings! 🐶🐱🤎 Mon-Friday: Please reach out to discuss my availability ☺️ (daytime may vary, evenings are usually open) Weekends: Always available (unless stated on my profile that I’m away, which won’t be often!) I know how important it is for animals to stay in their routines; I take instructions very well and will always follow your rules when your pet(s) are in my care!

About: 🐾 About Me: Professional Care, Puppy-Level Enthusiasm! Hi, I'm Natasha! I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer who needs a structured routine, a growing puppy working on their manners, or a sweet senior who just wants a quiet couch to snooze on, I tailor my care to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy. Why Choose Me? Structured & Mindful Approach: I don't just "watch" dogs; I pay close attention to their body language, routines, and comfort levels. If you are working on specific training milestones (like crate training, loose-leash walking, or socialization), I am happy to help maintain that consistency while you're away! Active & Adaptive: From energetic hikes and outdoor play to calm, enriching indoor puzzles, I adapt the day's pacing to match your dog's age and energy level. Clear, Daily Communication: You'll get regular updates and photo check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I maintain a structured, full-time schedule that allows me to dedicate my days entirely to pet care. I don’t believe in leaving pets alone for long stretches, so your furry family member will enjoy a highly attentive environment. Whether maintaining a progressive exercise routine for an active dog, supporting a service candidate puppy working on their focus and manners, or providing quiet company for a senior pet, my schedule adapts to their needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is sticking to their comfort routine while you're away. I live in a cozy, secure, and entirely pet-friendly space that is kept clean and free of hazards. While I don’t have a private yard, I completely make up for it with a highly active and structured routine! Outdoor time is intentional and frequent. We will go on regular, timed leash walks and local outdoor adventures tailored entirely to your dog’s age and energy level. Inside, the vibe is peaceful and relaxing—perfect for refueling after a good walk. I have plenty of room for crates, beds, and indoor enrichment puzzles to keep your pup happy and content.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and skill levels. With three years of experience in pet retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior and the products that best suit their needs. I’ve also worked closely with dog trainers and walkers, gaining specialized experience in handling reactive and aggressive dogs with defensive handling techniques. In addition to my expertise with senior dogs, puppies, and pullers, I’ve been actively involved in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, lure courses, scent work, canicross, rally obedience, and conformation. This gives me a unique ability to tailor activities to your dog’s energy levels, whether they need a calm walk or an engaging training session. Whether you're looking for someone to provide gentle care for a senior dog or a high-energy workout for a sporty pup, I can ensure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and well-loved. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ve had great success helping dogs integrate into group walks, with many positive outcomes to show for it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I’m passionate about balancing my career outside of Rover with my love for dogs who meet me through Rover! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines and preferences while maintaining balance and structure to stay consistent and reduce stress.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my dad was a dog trainer, so I was surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from a young age. This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.

About: I am a reliable, patient pet sitter providing loving, personalized in-home care, dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine, treating every pet with kindness, patience, respect, and plenty of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, attentive care for animals of all kinds—from household pets to less traditional pets and I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs, including feeding routines, medication, exercise, and enrichment, always with a calm and compassionate approach. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior pet needing extra patience, or more specialized animal care, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making every animal feel secure and well cared for in my hands. I work full-time in pet care, not just as a job but as a way to support myself doing something I genuinely love. Caring for animals is what my daily life revolves around—whether I’m looking after clients’ pets or coming home to my own two fur babies who mean everything to me. Balancing professional care with my own pets keeps me grounded and constantly connected to what matters most: making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I provide the kind of care I’d want for my own animals—attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I go above and beyond to keep everything as consistent and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, because I know how important familiarity is for their comfort. I take the time to really connect with each animal, learning their personality, preferences, and little quirks so they feel safe and understood while you’re away. I keep their environment clean, make sure they’re mentally and physically stimulated, and always prioritize their safety and well-being. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pets are being treated like family every step of the way.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wasaga Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Wasaga Beach on Rover is $24.42 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 428 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Wasaga Beach. About 83% of Wasaga Beach 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 Wasaga Beach. 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 Wasaga Beach.

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 Wasaga Beach 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 Wasaga Beach 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:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
