“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.”
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!
“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.”
“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: I’ve grown up around dogs throughout my childhood. I currently have a young dog of my own and have experience training with her. I am comfortable working with different breeds,sizes, and ages. I have previously volunteered with the SPCA. I work full-time four days a week currently but very early mornings. Evenings are very open and weekends as well. With enough advance notice I am able to work with your schedule. I have experience watching dogs in homes and can crate your dog if needed. I am active and love taking dogs for walks if you’d like. I am good with working with anxious dogs.

About: I've had dogs for the past 16 years. I lost my latest girl, an English Springer Spaniel , in 2025 and while I'm not ready for my own I truly miss walking and loving on a dog. I'm retired so my schedule is pretty open at this point. I can be available at short notice or for extended stays when needed. I'm very reliable. I am unable to care for pets in my home at this time. That may change in the future but it is not possible now.
“Dec 2020. Wishing Sarah a happy festive holiday during these difficult times. We and want to say thank you for taking great care of Colonel, introducing him, and letting him make friends with Ladner locals, as well as improving his training and playing games with him during his walk. Finding the 'Card' walking system a good method.”
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.
About: I’ve worked in a few different dog daycare facilities / in the pet industry consecutively over the last few years. Through my employers I have completed FetchFind safety and behavioural courses as well as countless hours of hands on experience caring for dogs. I have an outstanding knowledge of dog body language and can easily spot a uncomfortable, anxious, or happy dog so you can rest assured any signs of discomfort will not be overlooked. I’m accustomed to supervising safe play within a group of dogs so I’m confident spending quality one on one time with your pup. I am also familiar with handling minor health concerns such as diarrhea, vomiting, cuts & scrapes. etc. and feel confident attending to these issues in the case they arise while you pup is in my care. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have if you think I might be a good fit for your pup so feel free to reach out! I currently work 4-5 days a week so I am available anytime on my days off. You are welcome to message me to arrange a suitable time during the other days of the week as well. Im experienced working with many kinds of dogs with different levels of obedience. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with poor leash manners and can confidently work towards improvement in these areas. I am a respectful and trustworthy person. If I am entering your home for check-ins or pick ups for walks, you can rest assured I will leave the place just as I found it. I’ll always be carrying all the essentials like treats, poop bags, and any necessary safety equipment or requested equipment.
About: My name is Sarah, I’ve had pets my entire life, however my current situation doesn't have room for another dog... so I've decided to give all my love to yours instead :) I have 9 years experience now as a dog sitter/walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your dog(s). I am very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your fur babies happy while you're away. I have lots of experience caring for dogs with special needs (old and young) and of all different sizes and breeds. I know how it feels to worry when you’re away from your pet, so you can have peace of mind they always be well loved and safe with me. I am a runner and happy to bring your dog along for a jog if they’re up for it!! I own my own business and work remote so can be available 24-7 when dog sitting. This also allows flexible times for walks & check ins. I don't offer my home for boarding at this time - however your home = your rules. So whatever your instructions are and what the dog is used to us exactly what I'll do.
About: My daughter and I are looking to help make your pets day better. We are highly active and excited to help out in any way. We would love at home visits, short or long walks. Even trail runs are on the table! I was raised on a hobby farm and comfortable with all dogs of any size. My daughter is ambitious and would like to get into dog sitting as she gets older. She is currently saving up to get her own goats. I will always be present and my daughter will only be there to help I recently sold a business and am now taking a few years to focus on my kids and helping out. My schedule is fairly flexible. Ideally my daughter will join me as much as possible. She loves animals and pampers them as much as possible. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for your dog. We have a fenced yard where our dog runs around. He spends most of his time indoors though. We live on a half acre so lots of room to run around and play.
“Faith was the absolute best with my pup. She is responsible, passionate, and caring, qualities one looks for when entrusting someone to not only care for their family member, but entering their household. I am so lucky to have been able to work with Faith and definitely will be a returning customer. Thank you Faith and Thank You Rover!”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I’ve built my experience through years of hands-on care and my own business, Align Animal Bodywork. I’m a certified Equine Massage Therapist, currently expanding my qualifications in canine massage, and regularly work with canine clients. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and have a sociable Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever of my own. Providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care is always my priority🩶 My days already revolve around animals, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Between my own dog and my animal bodywork clients, spending time with animals is part of my everyday routine. I enjoy staying active and getting outdoors, and I love being able to include dogs in those adventures while ensuring their individual needs are met! I treat every pet like my own! I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to play, along with the option to provide separate spaces for dogs who need their own space. I also offer care in the comfort of your home! I prioritize each pet’s individual needs and routines to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care😊
About: I have owned dogs, cats, and birds since I was 10 years old. And I have had a deep connection to nature and its beautiful creatures for even longer. Animals have always seemed to naturally gravitate toward me, and I’m the guy at the social event you’ll find in the corner petting the dogs. I have been told I have “golden retriever energy”, so you know I can keep up with your more energetic animals. Walks will be daily, and dare I say your pet will have so much fun they won’t even miss you? (don’t worry though, daily updates will still be provided). I’ve been providing pet care to friends, family, and acquaintances for as long as I can remember… and now that I have more free time on my hands, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to branch out and offer my services to the masses. :) I’m currently a student with a schedule that is not too demanding. My 6 hour school days still allow me to ensure daily walks and lots of love and attention, are things you can count on I am incredibly responsible and respectful while I’m in your home, and will treat it like my own. Don’t be surprised if it is cleaner than you left it, as I like to keep my hands busy. I will pay extremely close attention to detail - if your pet is a runner, rest assured the gates will always be triple checked. If your pet has medical issues, medication will happily and carefully be administered as per your instruction. If your pet is anxious about your departure, extra care will be taken to ensure as much time spent in the home as physically possible.
“Danielle is amazing! My dog is alone for long days and she makes sure he gets the exercise he needs! He’s high energy and can be a bit anxious and from the start she’s really taken the time to meet his needs. I would highly recommend. :)”
“Nicole was incredible with my small pup! She provided in depth updates about what they did and my pups mood. She also sent the sweetest pictures of him. I am very happy with her services.”

Best dog walker ever! Alexandra has been walking my Lily multiple times a week for months and she’s always been so great and kind to her. If Lily has an accident or throws up shes even gone the extra mile and cleaned it up! Highly recommend her, you can definitely trust her with your fur baby’s!
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 of Dog Walking in Abbotsford is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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.
There are 1,352 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Abbotsford. About 85% 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Abbotsford 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.
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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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!
