“Rachel was the perfect person to stop over and walk my two dogs! She is clearly very knowledgeable and comfortable with all different pet personalities and behaviors. One of my dogs can sometimes show aggressive behavior to other vehicles/pedestrians on walks, and Rachel handled him with the utmost care, responsibility, and comfortability. I trusted her so much with my dogs and felt very reassured leaving them in great hands. She’s very dependable and excellent at communicating. We loved her consistent updates and photos! Will definitely be using Rachel again!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of living with animals my whole life! I’ve grown up with everything from giant dogs to my tiny chihuahuas! I love spending time with dogs, cats, pocket pets, you name it! I am also familiar with giving pets medications. I start my day caring for my pets and end it that way as well! Currently my work schedule allows for some flexibility when stopping by to provide care for your pets as well! I enjoy taking my own dogs to near by parks where we walk on leash! I anticipate being able to take your fur babies on walks in the surrounding areas as well! In our home our pets are treated like royalty. Everything I do is for them and their happiness! I hope to meet your fur babies too

“Susana was hired to be our dogsitter/walker during our daughter's wedding at a campground in East Troy, WI. She was asked to attend the wedding and help us with our Great Dane Molli who was part of the wedding party. Susana came out to us and stay by Molli's side for the time that we wanted to socialize with family and friends and eat dinner at the reception. Molli seemed to really like Susana and was super comfortable with her immediately. We will definitely consider having Susana help us with Molli next time we are staying in the East Troy/Lake Geneva area.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since a very young age.. I am experienced with dogs I’ve worked with dogs in the past as well as worked at doggy daycares/vets in the past. My schedule is relatively open so even if you need someone to come and walk the dog a couple times a day I can do that! I have experience with giving dogs medication and am able to help out with that as well. I watched a few dogs in the past that were seniors and needed special care with meds so I have experience in that category:) at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..

About: I’ve been pet sitting my neighbors dogs since I was 15. This summer I spent 2 months in Greece taking care of 100+ pound dogs! I have plenty of experience giving animals their medicine and grooming if needed! I am a full time student majoring in Animal Behavior, with many gaps in my schedule to have enough time for your animal! I am the most free on the weekend but have time throughout the weekdays! As I am a student I do not have my family dog with me. However I would love to treat your dog as my own and care for them greatly!

About: While I’m new to formal pet sitting, I’ve spent almost 15 years caring for a wide range of animals — from my own pets and livestock to friends' livestock. I grew up around animals and have hands-on experience with my own dogs and cats as well as various farm animals. Whether it’s feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving animals the attention and enrichment they deserve, I treat every animal like one of my own. I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. If you're looking for someone who understands animal behavior, respects routines, and will treat your pets with care and compassion — I’d love to help. I ensure my goats get fed and have clean water daily. They get weekly enrichment. I also ensure my dog and cat have food and clean water multiple times a day and I provide frequent enrichment for them all day. Pets deserve the same hazard free, clean homes that humans do. I keep my house clean and provide clean food and water to my pets, and would do the same for yours.

About: I was lucky to grow up with lots of pets and always had an obsession with animals. My Mom did Rover for 6 years and I went from assisting her to loving it enough to go full time. If you want a pet sitter that loves and cares about your pets as much as you do, i’m your guy!😁 I’m currently looking to do pet sitting full time. I’m accepting both recurring and as needed clients. I am very flexible so any questions feel free to ask I include a visit update and picture of your pet sent to you at the end of every visit. When walking dogs, I make sure to never leave the house without the leash secured. Any medications, special diets, general likes and dislikes your pets may have, silly quirks; we will work together to make sure all needs are met and importantly that your pet feels happy and comfortable too!

About: Pets have been a part of my life since I was five years old. My life has been devoted to their health and quality of life by being a certified veterinary technician and also working in the veterinary and Humane Society field. Able to do all types of medical care for animals. I am recently retired from a full-time job and would love to do something I enjoy and I am very good at due to all my years of experience. Due to my own 4 Golden Retrievers and other barn animals, I cannot take any dogs into my home. I sure would if I could.

About: Hello! My name is Avery and I have been an avid dog lover my whole life! Growing up my family had a goofy golden doodle and a loving golden retriever that were staples to my childhood memories. Currently, my family has two Aussies (a black tri and red merle, incase you were curious!) both under the age of 2. These past two years I have been my family's personal dog sitter for when they go on vacations, weekend getaways, and casual late-night dinners. For those of you who may know, Aussies are an incredibly energetic breed, fortunately, I am young, strong, and ALWAYS looking for an excuse to be outside. I am capable of caring for all types of dogs through the well-rounded experience I have with not only the dogs within my family but my neighborhood as well. I have been tasked with walking, feeding, training, and bathing countless times, and I'm looking for my next friend for the summer! After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison this past spring, I have A LOT of free time this summer before my full time position starts! Living in the Madison area for the past 4 years, I know it is incredibly important to keep an eye out for cars and pedestrians at all times while walking a dog. When my own dogs would visit my apartment I keep a tight grip on their leash while still allowing them to have fun and get their energy out. Luckily!! Im super familiar with the Lake Country area and have some personal favorite spots for walks!!

About: I have had pets my whole life. Currently I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, a hamster, and fish. I have also had bunnies, hermit crabs, and many reptiles. There is not an animal I don't love caring for or being around. I am good with animals of all ages and sizes!! I currently am a homemaker with an open schedule. I am available morning til night and overnights if needed. I have lots of time to spend with your pets! I care for every pet like they’re part of the family. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest, while giving them plenty of love and attention. I keep their environment clean and safe, and I make sure they get the exercise, enrichment, and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.

About: I have a way with animals. Pets that don't like people typically tend to be my best friends. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My goal is to be friends with every animal I meet. You have fun and I will make sure your pet does as well. I work full time in sales, so I am quite flexible. I can typically work my schedule to fit around what I need to do. I am happy to drop in and hung out with your pet while you are away. I love to go for walks, so I will be happy to tire a pet out with some good walk time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ottawa is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,042 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ottawa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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

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 , 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 Ottawa 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.

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ottawa. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
