My work at the moment is fairly flexible and I do my best to fit in all the walks/visits possible. I'm happy to get up a little earlier to squeeze in a walk before work if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow the pets owner’s advice on preferred routes, the dog’s social behavior etc and keep him on the leash while walking. My son is also very gentle and responsible with dogs and cats.

Information Wayne V. would like to know about your pet

I’ll need to know a bit about your pet, like how old, how he/she likes children, other dogs etc so I can know what to expect.

A typical day

My son and I will keep your dog busy with games of fetch and tug-of-war if they’re into that. Running and walking in the neighborhood to explore, we’ll ensure your furry friend gets the exercise he/she needs.

Walky time

Pet care experience

I always had dogs growing up in South Africa and spent a lot of time caring for my folks dogs. When moving to Canada recently, my now 7 year old son really missed his grandparent’s dog's so we thought we’d make ourselves available to meet new dogs and get some exercise at the same time. Since joining Rover I have walked and cared for dogs of all sizes, and also dropped in to care for a number of cats, whether it's just for a feed and litter tray clean out or some entertaining play time.

Very dependable, and I always have a peace of mind entrusting my dog to Wayne while I'm away.

Wayne was amazing! It was our first time using Rover but we are very pleased. We got updates and pictures every visit and he even got our anxious bengal cat to warm up to him. Thank you very much Wayne!
