“Todd did a fantastic job walking our two large, strong dogs. He handled them well and with great care, and they both came home happy and well exercised! Communication was excellent throughout, he was punctual, courteous, and professional. We were very pleased with the experience and will definitely be using Todd again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Raveen is extraordinary! She truly cares about animals and we’re so happy to have entrusted our fur babies with her. We could tell that they were loved and cared for while we were gone. Would 100000% book with her again. Thanks for all that you did for Jarvis and CC and your flexibility :)”
“Sarah is fantastic, she is kind and caring. She sends photos and we know our dog is well taken care of and safe. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone needing walks or a sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have dog sitting and walking experience in Toronto and am able to follow any specific instructions your pet may need. I am able to walk on or off leash, and can continue training whatever you and your family have already started or suggest what I have found to work best. My daughter has just started daycare and am looking for work during the day to pass the time. I am available during all weekdays for your pet from 9am-4pm. I currently take on small construction jobs that will not affect my dog walking/ sitting services. I am able to let your dog out or go for a walk or just keep them company. Whatever is needed I am able to do and will follow all instructions. I can keep up with high energy dogs and give them a good run. I can keep a slow easy pace for older dogs. Whatever is required I am able to do for your beloved pet!
“Kassandra is a very reliable dog walker and our usually fussy dog seems very comfortable with her, we are very lucky to have Kassandra take care of Jolie for us when we are out of town! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up with cats, rabbits and fish. I got my first dog when I was 19 years old and he is still with me and almost 15! I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I am excited to spend more of my free time helping to care for your fur-babies. I’m happy to work with any requests to ensure that your pet receives the best care. Please let me know if you have any questions! While I do have a full time job, I do have flexibility and will do my best to accommodate any requests! I will have the most availability on evenings and weekends. I can provide any kind of care that your pet needs - whether they want to walk, play, cuddle or have their own space! Please let me know what your pet needs and I will make sure to accommodate.
“Brittany did a wonderful job making sure our two pups were walked and fed while we were out of town. I was relieved to know they were in such good hands and were cared for so well while we were gone! Thank you so much - would highly recommend!”
About: I have experience with fostering dogs that come in different shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have had the opportunity to learn about dogs in a very short span of time. I have the patience and the ability to help a dog in need. I have the flexibility of working in a hybrid setting. I usually take my fosters for a walk 3 times a day and squeeze in a 40 minute exercise routine on a regular basis. I keep a close eye on the pets in my home. I keep anything they can swallow out of reach. I provide them with chew toys, frozen foods and puzzles to keep them occupied and mentally stimulate them when I am not able to physically take them outside for exercise. I believe animals need to be continuously engaged, at least while they are awake.
“Maddie suffers from separation anxiety . Jeff has been wonderfully patient working with us to exercise Maddie’s separation muscles. Like everything muscle takes time to build. Jeff is so understanding , I am confident her will win her over.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether it's going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats while they're away because they know I'm dependable, responsible, and compassionate. I'm currently studying Zoology, where I'm learning about a wide variety of animals and their behaviour, health, and welfare. My passion for animals is what inspired me to pursue this field, and I can't wait to spend my career caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. My schedule is extremely open and flexible this summer. I’m currently a dancer teacher and in the summer will only be unavailable a few days each month. I’m also captain of my dance team which also only takes up approximately 4 days each month. Therefore i have love of time available to care for your pets :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure they are always supervised, properly fed, and have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I also take care to respect the client’s home, keeping everything tidy and following any specific instructions carefully. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care that feels as familiar and safe as possible for the pet.
“Nicole has been amazing so far! She is wonderful with khan ( who hates everything). She has been so patient and I love how professional she is. Will definitely be using her again”
About: I’m retired and able to offer consistent, reliable care without a rushed schedule. I’ve looked after dogs (under 40 pounds, small to medium) and homes for friends over the years, including travelling to British Columbia for extended house sitting, so I understand the level of trust involved in leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I also regularly care for pets in my condo building - neighbours trust me with their keys and rely on me to look after their pets, who are comfortable and familiar with me. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and keeping things consistent so pets feel settled while you’re away. I pay attention to behaviour, surroundings, and safety on walks, and I don’t take unnecessary risks. I feel it's very important for dogs to have their walks and daily exercise. I am available to walk dogs up to 40 lbs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m retired, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around walks, visits, and consistent care without rushing. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or check-ins, and I can adjust timing to match your pet’s usual routine. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide steady attention and not leave pets alone for long periods. Because I’m not balancing another job, I can be reliable with timing, routines, and communication. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine - walks, feeding times, and any specific instructions you provide. Consistency makes a big difference in reducing stress while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behaviour and surroundings, especially on walks, and I don’t take unnecessary risks. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention and regular outdoor time. I don’t overcrowd or take on more pets than I can properly care for. You’ll receive clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.
“Lise was great! Very attentive and clearly is a dog person. My dog felt very comfortable around her. Her love for animals is very evident in the way she interacts with your pet. I couldn’t be happier and will recommend her services to anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their dog.”
About: We have been a speed dial to look after our friends,family and neighbours furbabies almost all my life. Yes you guessed it right - I am that crazy dog lady!! We have experience of being around small, giant, senior dogs and dogs with special needs. We are very passionate for animals and taking care of them brings irreplaceable happiness and contentment. To ensure fur-babies have a memorable stay while being away from their pawrents we engage them in so many activities like backyard pool party, mental enrichment puzzles/games,lickmats, paw painting and animated dog movie nights. Additionally we stick to the provided routine of meals and walks.We’re capable of feeding anything that you bring for them - from kibbles to raw food. We can also cook for your fur-baby with no extra fee. We will be keeping you posted throughout their stay with picture,texts and videos. Please feel free to call anytime during their stay if you miss ‘em (we’re dog parents so we get it lol) We live on the ground floor of a walk out so drop off and pick ups will be convenient. Attached to it we have a huge fenced backyard which will ensure good outdoor play sessions. We have play pan, crates and tethers. Your furbaby will have a choice of sleeping in our bed, their own bed, on the couch or in a crate. We recommend bringing your own dog bed or crate so they can feel home or use it as their own safe space. We’re blessed with 2 years old fur-baby of my own (Instagram- diegosdiary1) who is trained and certified from Wunder K9. He’s extremely welcoming and high energy pooch who will make sure your fur-baby is entertained and accompanied. He’s a Labrador and Great Pyrenees mix who has been socializing since he was a puppy. I work from home which enables my 24*7 availability throughout the stay. Since I’m always here this allows me to provide pee and poo breaks every 2-4 hours. Additionally we can provide 3+ walkies a day. Due to our flexibility we’re am capable of giving our full attention to your furbaby. Unlike humans every fur-baby has its own set of characteristics and behaviours, we try my best to gain information from the parents and follow the given instructions to make sure we deliver the best. We try to observe the fur-babies in the meet and greet or the initial hours of their stay to make sure we provide them accordingly.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. Me and my biologist cousin used to rescue dogs and cats that lived around our camp house back in my hometown. I am a really active person and love going for runs and hikes. My best friends for this have been dogs that want to get their energy out as much as I do. I believe all pets are different and appreciate owner communication to get to know your pet better! Excited to meet you! I’m currently a full-time teacher so my weekday schedule goes until 4pm. However I will go into summer vacation soon along with my student so I’ll have much more availability during that time. For now, weekends are my to go but any late afternoon weekday visits are welcome. I love having a detailed description of the pets I’m going to take care of beforehand. Are they afraid of something specific? Do they have dietary restrictions? Do they have any medical conditions? I carry my own equipment for walking and giving dogs a drink (I appreciate if they have favourite treats we can bring along for long walks!)
About: I had a husky and a Shiba Inu when I was in my home country. I got them when they were 1 month and 2 months old. My dogs are now with me right now in Canada. Weekdays and weekends are available for now. Afternoon would be better. Please notify me 1 day in advance. I can do in client’s homes, sit with their dogs or take a walk with them. I will always walk them in a leash because I’m new to them.
“Chyna was an excellent choice for our pup. With schedules being tight she accommodated our first meet and greet at a very early hour. She asked thoughtful questions and had a great interaction with our dog. We will definitely use her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 Zimmerman. 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 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 Zimmerman 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 Zimmerman 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 Zimmerman 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
