“I was very pleased with Ayesha's care for Roscoe while I was out of town. She noticed his paw was irritated from a hike I previously took him on and notified me immediately. She even made adjustments to her walks with him to avoid walking him on pavement and instead kept him on grass most of the walk. Roscoe is a big dog and she was able to manage him well. You'll be happy with her.”
“Victoria and Kurtis are truly amazing. Our girl requires a bit of extra time and patience to feel comfortable, and they have approached her with the gentleness and calmness she needs. We highly recommend these two!”
“Taylor was great with Roscoe. She walked him 2x per day for almost 2 weeks. Roscoe is a big 120 lb XL Bully and she handled him fine. The day before Taylor was scheduled to walk Roscoe, I had taken him hiking up to Sasquatch Mountain ski resort. I think the shale rocks caused his nails to bleed. Taylor noticed that the next day when she began walking him. She notified me of the issue and then she applied Styptic Powder to his feet and the bleeding stopped. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a reliable and qualified dog walker.”
“Michelle is wonderful! She walks Chester (our high needs rescue dog) once a week. Chester is usually wary of strangers, but he immediately warmed to Michelle, was obedient from day one, and has always come home happy and relaxed. Michelle is kind, professional, punctual and very flexible with our training needs. We (and Chester) cannot recommend her enough.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a fun hike, or just some company while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I have experience with high-energy dogs (I have one myself 😅), so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and patience. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. You can expect reliable care, lots of love, and photo updates so you never miss a moment 🐾📸 I’ve been riding horses since I was five years old, i currently have 2 cats, a puppy, 2 goats, and a bunny so I am very comfortable with most animals. My daily routine revolves around caring for animals, and I genuinely love what I do. I’m flexible and available for drop-ins, walks, and in-home care throughout the week. Whether you’re at work or away on vacation, I’m happy to make sure your pets are cared for, exercised, and getting lots of attention. While I’m unable to host pets in my home (I have two cats and a very energetic puppy), I take pride in providing reliable, respectful care in your home where your pets are most comfortable. I treat every home and pet like my own—keeping routines consistent, following instructions closely, and making sure your pet feels safe and stress-free while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you’ll always get updates and photos!

About: I have access to a private large walking path and field, as this is part of the gated community property. I have plenty of experience taking care of both kittens/cats and puppies/dogs with a focus of routine and play. I have a fully remote job from home, which gives me the flexibility to work anywhere in or out of the home. Pet care is part of my routine, as I have a cat and a dog myself. Routine and excersise are important. I have an enclosed covered patio that allows animals to play and get fresh air when they are not in the yard. I also have a large yard, along with an open field and walking path within the gated community. Lots of play and treats all around! I also have a walk in shower that makes it easy to bathe dogs, if needed.
About: I've grown up with family dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I understand the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement needed to help dogs feel safe and happy. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or lots of attention, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work rotating shifts, so my availability changes from week to week. To make sure I can give every pet the time and attention they deserve, I ask that bookings and cancellations be made at least 24 hours in advance. I keep my calendar updated regularly so you'll always see my current availability, and when I care for your pet, they'll receive dependable, loving care every time. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I'll always use safe walking practices, follow your instructions, and tailor each walk to your dog's needs and energy level. You can expect dependable communication, photo updates, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is being cared for with patience and kindness.
“Danielle is so sweet and caring for my dog, she treats Willow as she’s part of her family and takes Willow on so many amazing adventures!! By far one of the best dog walkers!!”
About: I have trained dogs and horses since I was a teenager and bred Basset Hounds for over 10 yrs. I love, and have worked with most breeds of dog, and am comfortable with giving shots, meds, and walking/working with hard-to-control pets. I love to snuggle and I personally walk about 5km/day. I have an 12-year-old female Basset named Barney that loves all dogs and cats and has helped me with training many times over the years..... including calming feral cats that I fostered. I love all new experiences, and can't wait to meet your pet. I travel a lot, but if you give me enough notice for a long stay I can usually make it work. I do have an older female Basset hound who is very friendly that would need to come with me. I prefer longer stays (weekly or monthly) while you're away. In your home, I am happy to work with whatever rules you have. I don't mind going for walks or to the park if your dog is good in the car and with other pets. I need to bring Barney with me, she cant be left alone for long periods of time.

“Thank you Sarah for caring for Colonel during the past few months as we search for the cause of his limp. Colonel has made each day's walk an adventure as he decides on whether or not to walk, lay on the grass, chat with people, or just stay in bed. Sarah has been a great support for us as well as being so patient with Colonel.”
“This was the first time I've ever had to leave my puppy for more than a day, and my first time ever using Rover. Needless to say I was very anxious. Camille put me at ease and assured me my dog would be in good hands. She was not lying. She did an amazing job, sent me pictures, kept me up to date on how my dog was doing, and genuinely cared about my dog and me. I would recommend Camille in a heartbeat.”
About: I’m a very active person that loves animals. I work from home and have the flexibility to make sure your furry loved one gets the care and attention they deserve. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m very active and love being outdoors as well. I have a nice farm with lots of fenced area to play. No pets of my own so they would have the place to themselves.
About: Ever since I was really young, animals have been such a passion of mine! I started my own neighbourhood dog walking business when I was 7 years old and the love for animals has only grown! I am starting out on this platform to find some employment over the summer as I am a 22 year old, full time Psychology student, currently attending CBC in Abbotsford! Experience with animals has been gained through volunteering at the SPCA, Chilliwack Cat Safe Haven, Elkview Therapeutic Riding Academy, walking/petsitting my neighbours dogs throughout my childhood, and always being willing to care for a friend's dog or cat when necessary. I am reliable, a quick learner, and a great communicator! I would love to get to know your pet and their needs so that I can bring a joyful, caring, and fulfilling environment where you can feel reassured that they are in great hands! My experience has been sporadic throughout my life, investing my time more in some seasons than others, so due to this I put 5 years experience as my baseline. I have a very flexible schedule over the summer as I am off school and actively looking for work, which allows me to be available for a wide range of pet care needs throughout the week. I am able to provide daytime visits, dog walking, feeding, playtime, socialization, and consistent companionship, as well as photo updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Because my current housing does not allow pets, I am only able to provide overnight care within your home. This also allows your pet to remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I am committed to being reliable, communicative, and attentive to your pet’s specific needs to ensure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. Since my housing does not allow pets, all care takes place in your home, where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any specific preferences your pet has. I aim to create a calm, respectful environment by maintaining your pet’s normal routine, keeping spaces clean, and ensuring doors, gates, and harnesses are always secure. I am attentive to your pet’s behaviour and well-being, and I will communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary. You can also expect regular photo and message updates for peace of mind while you’re away. I treat both your pet and your home with care, responsibility, and respect, so you can feel confident they are in safe and trustworthy hands.
About: I have over 20 years experience with dogs. I am reliable and experienced with most breeds. I walk the dog as the owner requests ie: loose lead, let them smell etc. Or in an off leash area the dog is familiar with, or in a heel position if requested. When I do dog boarding the dogs make themselves at home easily. I have a fenced yard and offer walks throughout the day. The dogs never stay outside alone even though the yard is fenced. I live by some great trails and love taking dogs to explore them and have fun! For drop in visits I am reliable and trustworthy. I can do drop in visit for cats as well. I look forward to hearing from you!
About: I care for pets by following their regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep the home clean and secure. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and making pets feel loved and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have a flexible schedule and i can make time daily for walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and companionship. I follow each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and attention while ensuring their safety, comfort, cleanliness, and happiness. I would love your pets like mine

Taylor is absolutely brilliant. I’ve had her take care of my animals twice now and she’s been absolutely exceptional. She communicates really well which puts my mind at ease while away from my fur children. I highly recommend her if you want someone who’s responsible and a true animal lover !
I highly recommend Alexia whether you have a small or large dog. Scout loved her. Each day she sent photos which I so appreciated. We had a meet up prior to me leaving and Scout took to Alexia immediately. Thank you Alexia I so appreciate the attention and care you gave my baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Abbotsford on Rover is $24.42 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 .
There are 1,365 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Abbotsford. About 86% of Abbotsford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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 Abbotsford. 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 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 travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Abbotsford.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Abbotsford 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.
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.
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.
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 Abbotsford 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 walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
