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.
“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.”
“Brianna has been amazing with helping walk our dog, Molly. Molly is nervous with new people and situations, but warmed up to Brianna really quickly. Brianna is someone who just gets dogs and I feel really comfortable with Molly in her hands.”
“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.”
“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!”
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 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.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life as small as mice and cats and dogs and as big as cows and goats I’ve also worked for a miniature horse rescue dog kennels and pet stores. 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 or weekly schedule is mostly taken care of my animals and wanting to help out other people take care of their animals while they’re on vacation or at work Unfortunately, I cannot House cats or dogs at my house as I have two cats and a very hyper puppy, but I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of your pets at your house or taking them out for walks during the day and evenings
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!
“Holly is so attentive and patient with our nervous pup. She takes so much extra care to make sure he feels comfortable, and leaves an amazing amount of detail for me after their walk :)”
“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: Animals are my love and my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them continues to grow. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ve just returned home from London where I worked as an au pair since graduating high school. I also plan to pursue my interest in animal behavior and get my dog training certification. I work flexible part time hours which leaves me with plenty of time to care for your pet, because of my schedule I’m willing to work around what your needs may be. I have a mid sized back yard that is fully fenced as well as trails in the forest which is a 5 minute walk from my house.
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’ve had animals in my home since I was a kid and have always loved caring for them. My friends and family always go to me when needing a caregiver for their pet. Im working part-time and would be available for lots of dog walks and home visits for your pups. I would love to care for your furry friend! I care for pets by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible, whether they’re in my home or yours. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs—whether that’s extra walks, quiet time, or just some cuddles. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always leave it tidy. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I've been a long time dog lover and my family has always had pets growing up. From birds to bunnies to puppies, I've had my fair share of pets in my home. Currently, we’ve got two small dogs at home. I strongly believe that our pets are equal members of the family like us, and deserve to be treated so. Over the last few years, I've been repeatedly asked to dog, cat, and house sit by my friends and family. They were great learning experiences for me since I learned how to care for different animals with all sorts of personalities. I'm able to care for puppies, seniors, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I can administer medication orally or into ears and I consider myself quite good at potty training puppies. While I am younger and still learning, I know I'm very responsible and I tend to just click with most animals. FYI - Muskaan is my first name and Hannah is my middle, I go by Hannah, trying to figure out how to change it on my profile I’m currently a full time student at UFV so my studies are my top priority. However, I’m great at managing my time and my schedule is flexible. Currently, I’m available for pet sitting any day of the week. Due to the lack of space and the fact that my dogs are anxious, I cannot offer services in my own home. But, according to what you, your animals, and your space need - I'm able to accommodate and adapt my care. My number one priority is your pup's health and safety at all times. I'm able to take them out for potty breaks and walks as often as needed. I'm experienced with different types of harnesses and collars so they'll always be secure in my care. Also, I LOVE playing with and attempting* to train dogs so you can be sure they'll be mentally and physically stimulated with me. Regarding more specific needs (ie. they like to escape, not allowed on furniture, dietary needs, etc etc) I'm able to accommodate for them. I'm well versed with all sorts of dogs with different personalities so your wish is my command!
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have a rescue her name is Dream she is turning 7 this year. I have worked with a private training to learn new skills that helped with training techniques for my dogs unique characteristics. I am all about the pet/owner respect I believe that a strong leader develops a strong bond with the animal and a calm state of mind which helps make the experience for both the animal and myself. I am very confident around animals which makes for a stress free experience for the pet owners, your dogs will be safe with me and I guaranteed a tired pup after our walks. I am willing to work on leash manners as well I can say from experience with a 70lb puppy a calm walk is a stress free walk for everyone involved. You just need the right tools to help you alone. I also understand some animals just want a solo walk/play time. My dog is crate trained and can be separated from a pet that needs 1:1 care. I am a nurse and my schedule is different every week. I work longer hours which gives me the freedom to have more days off. I live in a three floor town house, I am surrounded by parks and trails. I do not have small toys or objects laying around my house, my space is clean and organized, I only use none toxic cleaning supplies. I will care for your pet as if they were my own.

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.

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.

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.

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.
