“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“Samantha hooked me up last minute when we started an unexpected event and needed immediate recurring care. She's polite and responsive, and knows how to handle a weird finicky dog. My dog seems to love her!”
“Carolyn is amazing! It is so comforting as a dog owner to know he is in good hands and the pictures she send after each walk show how much he loves his time with her!”
“He is wonderful! My dog loves him. He does a great job of being friendly and sweet with my animals but also keeps him in-line! He doesn't let him pull or run all over the place! He's also very respectful of my house and towards myself.”
“Brent was great with my two active Aussies. They like to be walked together and came home from their walks clearly happy. Please note: Brent stepped up on fairly short notice—I had an emergency and needed dependable help. Highly recommend Brent and Rover!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and currently help take care of my family’s Corgi and German Shepherd mutt. I love dogs of all sizes and can’t wait to help take care of yours I will be able to take care of animals in the morning and evenings. I am not able to get away from work for mid day care. I will go outside with the dogs on walks and in their yards making sure they are properly watched and safe. I always make sure the animal is comfortable in their environment.
“Natasha is the best! She was very thorough and stayed in constant communication with me. She treated Bentley with love and care. His walks were documented and I loved the pictures she sent. Will definitely recommend without reservation. Can’t wait to rebook with her again soon.”
“Casie was great! It was our dog’s first time being walked by someone else and he loved her. She sent lots of pictures and gave Koal lots of love while we were gone.”
“Tess is a wonderful dog walker. She shows up promptly and keeps in touch with us. Our dog loves her and enjoys their daily walks. We are lucky to have Tess helping with walks for Benny.”
“Nautica was great ! She took her time to really get to know Styles and it showed during her care. She went to his favorite parks and even bought him a toy!! The pictures were so cute, I could see his excitement through the pictures !! I also appreciated her willingness to give food and water and clean up the mess my other pets made.”
“Erica is absolutely wonderful, and takes such good care of my very needy girl! And her notes on the walks are hilarious. I've already recommended her to some friends.”
About: I’ve had experience with all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding, and giving medication if needed. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and feel that it is important to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. I work part time at home through out the week with a flexible schedule, so I will be available when needed. During the summer I am available any day of the week. I am currently enrolled in college, and with the fall semester coming up I will not be available from 9am-12:30pm, with Thursdays going from 9am-3:50pm. I am willing to take on last minute pet sitting jobs, but I would prefer to know ahead of time! Pets need safe and comfortable environments. Whether out on a walk or at home, I will make sure your dog is supervised and treated with patience and kindness.
About: I’ve been working with animals all my life! I’ve worked in animal shelters and pet stores all around, and I’ve always had pets of my own. First thing I do every morning is walk, and feed the dogs. I make sure they’ve peed, pooped, and eaten breakfast, a walk midday, dinner and a walk afterwards. I work about 2 hour shifts very close to home so I won’t be gone for too long I will take pay close attention to your pets and carefully follow the instructions given to me to ensure their safety and happiness while you’re gone

Samantha did a great job walking my dog! She was always on time, reliable, and took great care of him. My dog really enjoyed his walks with her and was always happy afterward. I would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Jahborne was great with my sweet prince. Communication was excellent, I couldn’t have trusted anyone more with caring for him. He asked questions and answered my text almost immediately if I needed anything and I will definitely be booking again! Thanks a lot !!!!
Nia is so kind and loving with my dog. She's very patient with my dog's reactivity and helps her to be calm. She's even gotten her to walk in the rain, and my dog HATES the rain and will often refuse to go. She's good about following directions for food and treats and checks in if she has any concerns. Thanks Nia!
Catherine is a wonderful dog walker. She has a great rapport with my dogs and makes their health and safety her top priority. She communicates before, during, and after her walks with my dogs and sends fun photos. I highly recommend Catherine as a dog walker. Thanks for another great walk, Catherine. The dogs are happy and tired.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Arbutus on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 11,298 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arbutus. 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 Arbutus. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
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 traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Arbutus.

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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arbutus. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
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.
