“Brianna did a wonderful job walking our dog, she’s very responsive and provides helpful feedback and photos after each walk. Our pup returns home very happy after his walk with Brianna, we will be happy to have her walk him again in future.”
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.
“We have a mini Aussie, little anxious and stubborn. Charlie warmed up to her right away and he went for a walk with her. She is kind, patient and considerate and look forward to her looking after our Charlie. Thank you Victoria”
“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.”
About: I have been a dog owner most of my life but due to our travels I do not have a pet at this time. My last pet was a boxer who lived to be almost 14 years old. My neighbour had a lovely dog and she has many times referred to me as the "other Mom" and often droped her dog off if she is going out for any extended period of time even though she know the dog would be fine on her own. All my friends know I have a passion for animals and miss owing a pet very much. I am retired and did accounting for several small businesses. My husbands background is in banking and he is also retired but doing business consulting for small businesses. If I was chosen to pet sit in your home you can be assured that all would be well and your pets spoiled rotten! I consider myself a very reliable and trustworthy person and am known for my promptness. I am currently retired and spent winters in Mexico where I was voluntering at a local humane society walking, cuddling dogs and cats. I would love to look after your pets in your home or take them walking. Unfortunately no pets are allowed in my complex. I have had years of experience with cats and dogs. Very passionate with all animals. Love walking, cuddling, feeding. I would treat all as my own.
“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 an incredible communicator, and immediately gets on board with our needs and expectations for our dog. She's warm & gentle & consistent, we truly couldn't ask for more. Greatly appreciated.”
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 10km/day. I have an 11-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.
About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 14years old, I would often be playfull with the dogs most of the time, the dogs won't feel bored. I prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets happy while their owners are away. I juggle part-time flight training. I have flexible hours, especially on weekends, and I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I do have a fenced garden to have a short walk around for dogs that are anxious on walking outdoors. I do have a balcony space which can be utilised if the dog needs a fresh air and scenic loving being.
“Holly was fabulous to work with - responsive and accommodating. She made my nervous dog feel comfortable and I got many pictures from their walk as well as a very complete note on how everything went. I have had a very positive experience and would definitely hire Holly to walk my pups again in the future.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and helping take care of them since I was 8 years old. Grew up with labs, retrievers, and a pug! I've also dog sat different types of dogs, including a corgi and a great dane mix. I don't own any pets myself so I can focus on caring for yours! I have a flexible remote working schedule. I can have your pets with me while I work remotely - From my house or yours (I just would need wifi if working from your residence). I can offer potty breaks, walks, and play time. I have a big fenced backyard as well. I do have two young kids at home but I work downstairs and there is a door separating the upstairs and downstairs. The door would always be closed when I'm taking care of pets, to avoid the kids/pets being together. I have a big fenced backyard if providing services from my residence. I can also come to your residence to care for your pet. I don't have any pets of my own, so I can focus on your pet!
About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with large dogs and cats, and have pet-sit for friends and neighbours with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and ages! I work remotely as a research assistant and choose my own hours. This gives me lots of flexibility to come by and care for/walk your pets! I am thorough and responsible, and will happily follow any guidelines or recommendations you have for how I can provide the best care for your pet!
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!

We are close to Heritage park and hiking trails for walks. I have 2 female Border Collies, 2 cats, and 4 chickens.
About: For as long as i can remember, I've always loved dogs. Pretty much all of my family members had them when I was growing up. But my mom always said no to me getting one. So everywhere I went, when I saw any dog I would always have to go out of my way to say hi to the puppy (I still do this to this day). As I got older I started to realize that everywhere i went, every dog that I would meet would come right to me for love, even if the dog was usually afraid of people. So I felt like I needed to do something with that. I have always had such a passion working with and being around animals. I have previously worked at a doggy day care for over a year, and I've also previously worked at mr pets in Abbotsford for over 2 years, being the main person taking care of all different types of animals. When your pets are in my care I will always show them nothing but love and compassion. I promise, your babies will be in amazing hands. I will play outside (if you have the space in your yard) with your puppies so they get all their energy out and I will take them on walks around your neighborhood (if leash trained) when house sitting or if asked to go for walks! Your babies will get the utmost attention and cuddles while they are in my care that I promise you will never have a thing to worry about. Whether I am coming to just take your dog out for a walk, to spend some time with them or to watch them while you are away, your babies will be very well taken care of. With lots of playtime, cuddles and exercise. ( I love all animals, so depending on what type of pet you have, we can work out prices for the animal(s) you'd need taken care of) 🐶🐱🐹🐭🦔🐇🐍🐦🐠🦜🦎 PLEASE READ. I have 5 cats of my own that are not dog friendly. So unfortunately I cannot dog sit at my house. But I am more than happy to come to your home and watch your fur babies. Please if you are interested in any animal care, feel free to message me to set up an in person meeting and great so I can meet you and your fur babies and we can proceed from there. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to spend with your fur babies, they will get the best of care with me. I unfortunately cant care for pets in my own home because of my cats, but I am more than happy to come to your home and take care of your babies. They will have my undivided attention while in my care and will get thr utmost amount of love.

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 $24.25 per walk (as of July 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 1,408 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:
- 90% 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.
