“Andrew took great care of Fred! He kept in great contact, was reliable, and I felt comfortable with him stopping by our RV and spending time with Fred while we spent long days at theme parks. Definitely recommend, and will work with him again next time we’re in the area.”
“Laura, is the BEST! She has helped me numerous times last minute when I can’t make it home in time for their third walk of the day. I fully trust her with my special-needs dogs, and they love her to pieces”
About: I have had my own dogs for the last 15 year. I’ve learned to care for them and nurture them. I’ve even had the privilege of helping my dog bring her puppies to the world. I’ve had dogs of the size of a cockapoo up to German Shepards. If you are looking for someone to treat your furry friend as if they were their own, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a stay at home mom who only has to drop off and pick up my kids from school. I am flexible with the hours. All I ask is that for boarding you book at least one week in advance. I have a fenced backyard with a pool and 2 fury friends to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if necessary. Your furry friend can even go for a swim if it likes.
About: I have taken care of my own pets as well as my sisters, brothers, and other relatives for both check ins and overnight.

I have a very flexible schedule so any pet sitting times you need will be great for me. I will always make sure your pets are respected and feel loved. Whether they are shy or outgoing, all pets are treated with the utmost respect and care. I can give you constant photo and video updates if you like! The environment will always be calm, clean, and tidy so your pets feel as safe and relaxed as they can.
About: Grew up with different dog breeds of different sizes. I currently have a German Shepard mix with Belgian Malinois in my household. Majority of our dogs have been adopted from the shelter. I have attended a beginners dog training for a dog of my own that is a German Shepard mix with Belgian Malinois. I cared in the past for another fur baby (Yorkshire Terrier) who was on the older side and disabled. Our fur babies need exercise, care, love and fun & therefore I am here to help! I will make sure to stay on your preferred routine that way your pup has lots of fun playing, stays well fed and hydrated, & receives extra love during your time apart. I am happy to work with you on your dog’s needs to keep your pup happy, safe and healthy. I’m currently have a flexible schedule and this allows me to have extra time in the day to care for and have fun with your fur babies. I have a private fenced front yard and along with a gated back yard. I also have a friendly and calm dog that will provide your pup with company too. I also have crates and extra dog bowls at home if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 3 years. I met many different types of dogs and their personalities. I know every dog is different and I am always willing to learn. I am currently working part time so I have time to take care of dogs. I am available the entire day on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Monday’s. T/W/Th I work part-time, but I am available all morning. I have a fenced yard with two fur babies to keep any dog company. I live behind a park where I can walk and play with dogs.
About: I’ve always cared for my pets since a young age. I now own 2 cats and 1 puppy. My pets are very friendly and playful as well. Also I have some experience in giving pets the medications if needed as well. I have can provide any toys your pet would love to play with and lots of treats too. My apartment has a nearby park within 10 minutes walk. I live on the first floor of my apartments so your pet wouldn’t need to go up any stairs and I have a porch as well. So your pet has more free space to run around and receive all the exercise with relaxation time too. I’m always home and easy to get a hold of too.
“Monica has walked my dog now 3-4 times in the past 4 months. Each time she sends me photos documenting her visit and walk. She always comes during the requested timeframe. I know I can trust her to come when she accepts my request. Thanks Monica!”
About: My experience began when I was very young. I have taken care of both dogs and cats by walking, bathing, and sharing quality time with them. The fulfilling experiences that I have shared with my own have inspired me to take on the role of a pet sitter. I can confidently say that pet sitting is a skill that I have acquired. Sharing a unique bond with a new cat or dog is something that I look forward to, and I’m excited to spend time and take care of your fur baby. With time management, I have confidently been able to work part time go to school and pet sit. When I have days off, I can dedicate my time and attention to create a fun environment for any pet. Constant attention and safety for your pet is my number one priority. I will always follow directions that are given to me and communicate effectively should there be any reason to.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 15 years. I've raised and cared for my 11-year-old toy poodle and his two brothers, who are now 14 and 15. I see pets as family and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will treat them with the same love and attention you would. I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs and understand they may need a little extra patience and gentleness. Dogs are some of my best friends, and I'll care for your pup as if they were my own. I work full time from home, so dogs in my care get company all day instead of hours alone in a crate or empty house. Doggy Day Care: Weekdays, 7:30am–5:30pm Drop your pup off in the morning and pick them up after work. Throughout the day they'll get playtime, walks, and trips to the dog parks at my apartment complex. I'll send photos and updates so you can see how they're doing. Weekends: Available by request, depending on my schedule. Just message me! Drop-In Visits: I'm happy to stop by for check-ins, potty breaks, feeding, or a quick walk during the day. House Sitting & Boarding: Available by request. Message me and we can figure out what works best for your pet. I only care for 1–2 client dogs at a time, so your pup gets close, one-on-one attention instead of getting lost in a crowd. For day care, boarding, and house sitting, I take small dogs under 15 lbs who are friendly with other small dogs. My senior toy poodle is sweet and still loves to play and run around, so your pup will have a buddy! I'm happy to set up a meet and greet first so everyone can get comfortable. Your pet's safety comes first. Before each booking, I'll go over your dog's routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs, and I'll follow your instructions closely. I always use secure leashes, keep doors closed, and have your vet's info on hand. I'll send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing.
“Natalia is our first dog walker from Rover, she was very upbeat & friendly when she met Us at our meet & greet. Lily fell in Love instantly! Natalia took Lily on her first walk “run” around our neighborhood. They both seemed to have enjoyed their outing! I would recommend Natalia to take care of your pet.”
“Amy was great. Accommodated my last minute request for 2 30 min walk service while working on a Saturday. Very communicative and punctual. Will use her again for future services. Highly recommend.”
About: Growing up with dogs as beloved members of my family has instilled in me a profound love for animal care. I find genuine joy in tending to puppies, and I've been fortunate to extend my care to my last two doggy boys, accompanying them until the very end of their lives. My last dog, Oreo, was completely blind and deaf in his final years; I tried to make sure he was comfortable at all times. Currently enjoying retirement without any pets at home, I am thrilled to offer your dog full-time care. This includes enjoyable trail walks and a flexible schedule tailored to accommodate the unique preferences of your furry companions. In my retirement, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to tailor my time to meet the unique needs of your dog. Mornings would kick off with a breakfast for them, followed by a refreshing leg-stretching session. Afterward, it's back home for a cozy morning nap. As the afternoon rolls around, I'll take my furry companions out once more, ensuring they enjoy another invigorating walk before the sun sets. My home comes complete with a fully fenced yard, providing a secure haven for your dogs. Their safety is my utmost priority, and you can trust that they will be under constant and attentive care in this protected environment.
“Louie has exceptional service. I am consistently updated regarding his daily walks with my pup. I am very satisfied with his services as my dog walker and 1000% recommend booking with him.”
About: I am studying to be a registered veterinary technician, my love for animals ranges from raising my own goat to raising a guide dog for the blind. No matter the size, they hold my special place in my heart. I’d love to be your fur babies new best friend! I am currently a part time worker and a part time college student. Most of my work and school hours are only 4 hours long and my free time is dedicated to your pup! My love for animals is no secret, once I graduated, my old high school teacher asked me to watch over his fur babies and house when he goes on trips, and recommended me to his friends! I send updating pictures and take his dogs on a walk at least once a day and ensure time for play!

I love animals of all breeds and species! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with their favorite toy, and snuggling with them. You can be sure that I will give them all the love they need while you’re away! I know how to administer oral medication, and how to disguise it if the pet is particular about taking medicine. I’m easy going and take instructions well. I’d like to make you feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands! I own a car, so transportation won’t be a problem. I’d love to come walk, play, and stay with your cherished pet!

Anabelia has been wonderful to work with. Her customer service is excellent, she is incredibly patient and kind, and she takes great care of Kiwi.

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 your Ontario. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.

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.
