“Jingyi was absolutely wonderful with Toto! She was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive throughout the entire walk. She took the time to understand Toto’s personality and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. Toto can be a little sensitive and likes to take her time during walks, but Jingyi was very understanding and paid close attention to her needs and emotions. She kept me updated, communicated clearly, and treated Toto with so much kindness and affection. I truly felt that Toto was in great hands. I would highly recommend Jingyi to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for taking such great care of Toto! Toto came home happy and relaxed, and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with Jingyi. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Milly is a wonderful dog walker. She is very reliable, communicative, careful and just generally a happy person that is very easy to get along with. She loves my two doggos (and they are obsessed with her) and she treats them well and takes amazing care of them. I trust and rely on her and genuinely enjoy interacting with her. Top-notch stuff going on here. I highly recommend Milly.”

“When Freddie stopped by for our initial meet and greet, casper ran to her immediately, completely drawn to her. To see our dog have a connection with someone so quickly gave us so much comfort. Freddie has been amazing! Not only walking casper but assisting with training. She has experience that we, as new dog owners, do not have. I appreciate how kind and incredibly compassionate she and always flexible when we have to adjust our schedules. Thank you Freddie! Grateful we found you and thank you for taking such great care of our Lil pup!”

“Anissa is so lovely and provided updates through the walk with pictures and videos. My dog really enjoyed walking with her and she was on time and did everything asked and went above and beyond what we expected. Thanks Anissa!”

“What an amazing feeling to leave your fur baby with someone who loves your pup like it is their own! Gian was fantastic! He and Roberta were punctual, called like we had asked when they were on their way so our Cooper was ready! I got daily pics and updates on exactly what he did as well as the route. It was so comforting as I felt like I was with them with all the information provided. I would not hesitate to refer them and will definitely use them again!!!!”

“Amazing dog walker! Yunni is very adaptable and can follow instructions with little to no questions. She also was able to meet up prior to the walk so both my dog and I can meet her which was great. Would definitely book again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Riley, a passionate and experienced cat sitter who adores feline friends of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As a proud cat parent to a sweet 13-year-old kitty, I’ve spent years understanding the unique needs, quirks, and comforts that cats of all ages require. I’ve cared for a wide variety of cats, and whether it’s administering medication, providing gentle grooming, or offering calm, comforting companionship, I’m here to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I spend my days caring for my own 13-year-old cat, so feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping things tidy are second nature to me. When I care for your kitty, they get the same love and attention! I make sure every cat is comfortable, happy, and cared for at their own pace, and I always send updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. Most bookings happen in your home so your cat can stay relaxed in their usual routine. I’m calm, tidy, and respectful of your space, and I’m always happy to do a meet-and-greet first so you and your kitty feel comfortable and confident.
About: Hi, I'm Manni! As a dog mom, I know that every furry friend is unique. Whether your pup is a ball of energy who needs long walks, or a shy baby who just needs a quiet companion, I know how to adjust my energy to match theirs. I treat every pet with the same love and patience I give my own—making sure they feel safe, heard, and spoiled while you're away. I speak both English and Mandarin, so tell me exactly what your pet needs! Pet care is already baked into every day for me—my schedule revolves around my 4-year-old miniature Schnauzer, and any guest pets simply join our rhythm. Walks, feeding, and enrichment are fixed slots on my daily calendar—everything else bends around the pets. Your dog or cat will simply slide into that routine and get the same calm, predictable care my own guy enjoys every day. Workdays • Morning Early walk, breakfast, quick play. • Mid-afternoon potty break + short stroll—perfect reset after work. • Before bedtime Cooler evening walk (20-30 min), then wind-down time on the couch. Weekends • Longer outings to shaded parks or lakeside trails—always early morning or late evening to avoid summer heat. • Extra indoor enrichment: snuffle mats, hide-and-seek treats, or DIY frozen treats. Guest pets • I host one guest at a time so everyone gets individual attention. • Slow introductions outside the condo; male-dog guests must be exceptionally calm because my Schnauzer is picky about male company.
About: Since childhood, I have always been around animals. I grew up with a Rottweiler for a sibling, cared for a relative's guinea pigs, walked dogs with my best friends, and watched my pet fish give birth when I was 10. I travelled all over the city to spend time with friends' cats during my teenage years, which really contributed to my love for pets (and later influenced my decision to adopt my own). I have had the privilege of spending time with and finding comfort in the company of animals of all shapes and sizes. I have a diverse understanding of individual pet needs, personalities, and care routines with all the wonderful pets I had the pleasure of spending time with. What sets me apart from others is that I am comfortable with pets of any size and age, big or small. My flexible job allows me to engage with your pet and care for them as they need. I have always had a positive experience with animals, and I have found it easy to engage and care for them. I am committed to providing your pet with the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away (no matter how long it may be), and you will receive lots of cute photos and updates from us until your return! I am currently working a remote and flexible job that allows me to travel and manage my responsibilities from anywhere. I can travel as needed to care for your pets, whether it is for overnight or day visits. I can adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your pets, whether it is waking up early to go for a walk at sunrise or staying up late with a night owl (no pun intended). As a person, I am very kind, loving, caring, and patient, and I believe your pets deserve these qualities in someone who is spending time with them. I am committed to providing them with the care and comfort in their own home, an environment they are already familiar with, and following the same exercise, feeding, and playtime routines they receive from their caregivers. I take great care in attention to detail in all aspects of my life, and I will ensure that the requests and instructions provided for caring for your pet will be followed with the same level of commitment. I understand that for pets, being away from their owners can be difficult (and vice versa), and I want them to feel safe and loved in my care. I am happy to stay in your home and take care of your pet where they are most comfortable - I’m a tidy person and will never leave a mess in your space. Feel free to make requests or ask any questions, and we can discuss further.
About: From the moment they enter our world/life till the moment they cross the rainbow bridge, I've learned so much from these beautiful creatures we adopt into our family. My latest family dog, an energetic and excited border collie, helped me truly understand the importance of stability, love, exercise, and play, especially for energetic or working dog breeds. From puppy to senior care, I've done it all and loved being the two-legged buddy to our furry friends! After moving out to university, I've found myself ending up, in one way or another, fostering cats that have unfortunately ended up with nowhere else to go. Knowing I couldn't turn away a soul in need, I've learned so much more about cats, especially when they're in a new environment/ around new people. Showing stability, consistency, love, and respect has so far earned me beautiful bonds with every cat I've spent time with, whether in my own home or in the homes of others. I'm confident I can take care of your little loved ones and hopefully make your stay away from your home and pet(s) at least a little bit easier! I currently work from home / online, so I can be available any day / time to care for your pet. For overnights / if you'd like me to stay for multiple days, I would bring my laptop to work (I do not use audio / video for my job). So really, the flexibility of my current schedule would likely make booking me easier for you! Since I live in a basement apartment (with 2 cats), I wouldn't be available to offer services out of my own home. However, I make it a habit to take care of daily hygiene (eg. cleaning litter boxes, brushing, nail clipping depending on temperament, etc.), feeding according to instructions and schedules, and ensuring pets get an adequate amount of play and exercise. I've found that the more play and activity an animal does during the day can greatly impact their temperament and sleep.
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, and when my dog Weston came into my life, my dream of having a dog finally came true. He quickly became my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and loving care. I’ll treat your dog with the same kindness, attention, and respect I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available for walks, and I do my best to accommodate each owner’s routine and their pet’s needs. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so my full attention will be on caring for yours. I always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family.

About: Hi! My name is Mone, and I’m a passionate animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently have a sweet cat at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, gentle, and attentive. Living with a cat has taught me how to recognize their unique personalities, respect their boundaries, and make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or needs extra patience, I’ll be happy to care for them with lots of love. I also have experience raising a large dog in Japan, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Because I currently have a cat at home, I’m only able to offer drop-in visits and dog walking services. This allows me to give your pet my full attention while keeping a safe environment for everyone. I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll always treat them like family. I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, about 8 hours a day, five days a week. Because of that, I’m usually away from home between 7am and 3pm. Other than work, I spend most of my time at home. 🏠 I live with my boyfriend in a 30-story apartment building directly connected to the station. Our home is a spacious one-bedroom apartment of about 50 square meters, offering a comfortable and relaxed environment. We don’t have any pets of our own, so I can give your beloved pet my full attention and care. 🏙️💛
“We were hesitant to use this app and to leave our dog in the hands of a stranger. After booking the dog walks with Anita, however, we would recommend her services to all of our friends and family because of her love and care for animals. She went above and beyond our expectations. She was quick to respond to messages. Meeting with her in advance really eased our minds. She sent pictures and notes about the walk. We really appreciated her care and so did our dog, who we know misses Anita already!”

About: I have experience working in a dog daycare and assisting with bathing and drying dogs. I also own two cats and a bird, and I love caring for animals of all kinds. My summer schedule will be quite flexible since I’m out of school and currently looking for a part-time job. It will be my main focus for the summer time. I have a large, high fenced yard with plenty of space for any dog to run around and have fun safely. No matter where, your pets will be kept safe, happy, and loved!
“Shengjia is very friendly and truly listens to how my dog likes to walk. I appreciated that she asked questions upfront to make sure she understood my dog’s habits. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a walker who actually pays attention to the details!”

“Millie truly and genuinely loves dogs and took very good care of Molokai while I was away. She was very punctual, detailed and caring for Molokai and she went above and beyond to make sure that Molokai got his exercise and TLC. I would highly recommend Millir for your dog sitting needs!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Growing up in Bolivia, dogs were always part of my family, and I gained hands-on experience feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for them throughout all stages of life. Now that I live in Toronto, I can’t have a dog of my own just yet, so I love spending time with other people’s pets and helping busy dog parents. I am responsible, patient, active, and genuinely enjoy making sure dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for during walks and visits. I am on vacation in June and have a very flexible schedule throughout the month. This allows me to provide reliable dog walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of attention for your pet. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work or extra exercise and companionship during the day, I am available on weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings, use secure leash practices, and ensure your dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: 🐾 Special Offer for New Rover Users! Use my code ANISHA25873 and get $20 off your first Rover booking. Neha and I both love having dogs. My two dogs reside in India with my family. We both work from home which makes sure the dogs is always given full attention and care. PET CARE EXPERIENCE I believe pets are not just animals — they are family. Anyone who loves animals understands that they are companions who bring joy, comfort, and personality into our lives. As a dog lover and owner of two dogs myself, I understand both a pet’s needs and the concerns that owners have when trusting someone else with their furry family members. With nearly 12 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I’m very familiar with their routines, behavior, and the attention they need to stay happy and healthy. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your fluffy companion will always receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection in my care. WHAT I OFFER 🐾 Dog Walks Walks are often the highlight of a dog’s day. With years of experience walking my own dogs, I understand how important it is for them to explore, exercise, and enjoy their surroundings. I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s energy level. 🐾 Drop-In Visits Leaving pets alone for long periods can be stressful for both pets and owners. During drop-in visits I make sure your pet gets their meals on time, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and attention so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. 🐾 House Sitting Traveling can be difficult when you’re worried about your pet. Instead of moving them to an unfamiliar boarding environment, I can stay in your home and care for them where they feel most comfortable. This helps maintain their normal routine and reduces stress while you’re away. MY REQUIREMENTS To ensure the safety and well-being of all pets, I kindly ask for: • Up-to-date vaccinations • Honest disclosure of your pet’s behavior, temperament, likes, and dislikes • Any feeding instructions, medications, or special care needs COMMUNICATION Please feel free to message me anytime if you have questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! I work from home and live with my partner who also works from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily follow your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. My flexible routine allows me to make sure pets are not left alone for long periods and that they receive the care, attention, and companionship they need during the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly condo with plenty of nearby parks and green spaces that are perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Pets staying with me are treated like family — they are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s something they are used to at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space while maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.
“Karina is incredible. She’s attentive, professional, and so great with Bruno. He absolutely loves his walks with her. It’s such a relief knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares and takes the time to make sure he’s happy and well taken care of.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willowdale
Millie has taken my dog out for walks this past week. She has always been on time and has walked Skylie(Goldendoodle) for 30 minutes each time. They have covered distances between 1.9-2.5km depending on the trail. It has been a pleasure working alongside of Millie and she will continue working with Skylie 3-4 times each week. Thank you for your help as you know it is much appreciated. Regards Mitchell
I had a wonderful experience with Nejla! Communication was excellent from start to finish, with regular updates that gave me peace of mind. I especially appreciated all the photos - they made it so easy to see how happy and comfortable my pet was. The care was gentle, patient, and playful, and it was clear my pet received lots of attention, affection, and fun. I could tell they were treated like family. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Nejla to anyone looking for a caring, reliable walker/sitter!
Sabrina took such great care walking my dog while I was away for a month, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was always punctual, kept me updated with regular messages and photos, and made it so easy to relax knowing my dog was in good hands. The best part was hearing how excited my dog got every time Sabrina came by, it was obvious he really looked forward to their daily walks. That alone speaks volumes about how kind and caring she is. I would recommend Sabrina without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely wonderful dog walker.

Jingyi was absolutely wonderful with Toto! She was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive throughout the entire walk. She took the time to understand Toto’s personality and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. Toto can be a little sensitive and likes to take her time during walks, but Jingyi was very understanding and paid close attention to her needs and emotions. She kept me updated, communicated clearly, and treated Toto with so much kindness and affection. I truly felt that Toto was in great hands. I would highly recommend Jingyi to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for taking such great care of Toto! Toto came home happy and relaxed, and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with Jingyi. We will definitely book with her again!

She’s incredibly kind. I’ve trusted her several times already, and my dog Goose is always so happy whenever they go for walks together. She’s very attentive, truly cares for dogs, and knows how to love and look after them properly. You should definitely trust her with your pet too :)

Milly is a wonderful dog walker. She is very reliable, communicative, careful and just generally a happy person that is very easy to get along with. She loves my two doggos (and they are obsessed with her) and she treats them well and takes amazing care of them. I trust and rely on her and genuinely enjoy interacting with her. Top-notch stuff going on here. I highly recommend Milly.

Rosie made me feel very comfortable having her walk Bowser! I could tell when I got home that he was an exhausted pup! Just what I want! He's picky about who handles him and from the photos I know he was having a great time with her! Will definitely use Rosie again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Willowdale on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 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 7,304 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Willowdale. About 85% of Willowdale 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 Willowdale. 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 Willowdale.
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 Willowdale 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 Willowdale 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.
