“Dmytro was great! He arrived early and took the time to get to know bear. He took my appointment last minute and even did an hour with bear when it was raining and bad weather ! Would totally recommend”
“Yiran has been fantastic with my dog! She’s always punctual and reliable, communicates clearly, and sends great updates after each walk. I really appreciate knowing how the walk went and seeing photos. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.”
“Tanya’s been just lovely with our insanely high energy pup Autumn. Autumn is 8 months old and we had to start leaving her for close to 8 hours a day since a week ago for the next 12 weeks… enter Tanya! Super punctual, super detailed and super sweet. Works out perfectly that she attends uni next to our place as well. She’s awesome with pets and it shows! Couldn’t recommend her enough”

“Judy was exceptional with our puppy, Shadow! She came right on time and gave him all the care and energy burn he needed. She also used some of her own time to show love to our other dog too, as well as cleaned our house pee pads when needed. It was our first time booking on rover and she definitely exceeded expectations. We will be booking with Judy moving forward!!”
About: I just moved to Brentwood and have lots of availability to help you care for your pets. I have experience with large and small dogs, an all animals from cats to turtles. I attended Douglas college for Veterinary administration and have both pet and people first aid certification. Can’t wait to meet your furry friends I am available every day, with flexible hours. I can take your pets for adventures in nearby parks or in your home. Happy to meet to see fit I am not able to care for pets at my home.

“Julie is absolutely fabulous!! She’s been walking our dog Pepper for a month now, she’s very dependable and great with animals. She’s been able to calm our crazy Aussie Doodle and we will definitely be calling on Julie more for walks and house sitting for our full fury family.”
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and passion for pet care comes from learning pet care from my dad who is police dog trainer. I currently work from home it's a flexible job so l would have plenty time for the pet. Also I would love to go out on walks. I have fenced yard where we can go out play, I have play toys, yummy treats for the fur babies. Also would love to go on walks. I do not take many pets in one service so I can provide more personalized services.
About: I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of pets my whole life—pretty much anything you can think of! Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, and even guinea pigs! Back home in Ecuador, we have 7 dogs and a cat, and life is just better with them around. I absolutely love taking care of animals and making them happy. There’s nothing better than spending quality time with them—it always makes my day! I have three days off during the week, and I love spending that time outdoors in nature. Taking a dog for a walk would make it even better! Caring for pets is so rewarding for me. It is a fulfilling experience for me! I always make sure pets eat according to their owner’s instructions and keep their water bowl clean and filled with fresh water. I also like to have their favorite toy nearby so they feel comfortable with me. Respecting their space and making them feel safe is a must!
“Absolutely amazing experience with Diana! She was punctual and very professional. She walked our dogs for the full hour, sent us adorable pictures throughout the walk, and even offered to drive them to the park for extra fun and variety. Our dogs came back happy and tired, exactly what we hoped for. You can tell she truly cares. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to your pups!”
“Cassandra is wonderful! We knew the moment she walked through our door; she was the right person for us and our dog Wafi! We knew instantly she really would care for our boy the way we do and look out for his needs. When I get home from work I can see that he had a great day. Just enough to be fun but not past what will push his limits (he had some severe injuries from his homeland before we got him). I feel confident that she reads his energy and limitations and always has his best interests in mind and heart! We know she really cares and she is just a genuine lovely person to meet!”
“We always use Debbie, she is fantastic and was able to be super flexible to support us during the birth of our child. Thank you Debbie, amazing with our high energy dogs as always!”
About: I love being a pet sitter because it allows me to do something I truly care about — spending time with animals and making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy playing with pets, feeding them, taking them for walks, and giving them the attention and care they need. If your dog loves socializing with other dogs, I’d be happy to take them to the dog park (if that’s something you’re comfortable with). I’m also happy to accommodate any special routines, hobbies, or needs your pet may have. I have my own dog, Teddy, whom I love more than words can describe. He is a very special part of my family and has taught me so much about patience, love, and caring for animals. Being around dogs brings me so much happiness, positive energy, and peace. I’m also working toward becoming a professional dog groomer because I want to continue learning and improving my skills in animal care. I treat every pet like they are my own family, and my goal is for your furry friend to feel loved, happy, and secure while they are with me. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to create a fun and loving experience for them! Every Friday and Saturday I am free for now and I’ve tried to make more time to do this lovely job it will be happening soon. I just want to start with walking with these angels ( dogs ) but absolutely I can care of them on my clients home sometimes.

“Nicky has been amazing with my dog - and he’s a big boy of 80lbs. Not only did she take him out to the beach , she took tons of pictures to keep me posted and updated. She was so prepared , had poop bags and water ready for him! She was always on time and arrived early to pick him up. And didn’t even count the driving time to take him to the trails and park nearby. Would absolutely recommend Nicky.”
“Miranda was a life saver today. Not only was she able to take my puppy for a walk last minute, she managed to show up promptly and navigate through wild life. Dexter had a wonderful experience and I know he looks forward to his next walk. Thank you again we will see you again real soon”
About: I’ve helped care for family dogs since I was 11. My grandparents had a Pekingese and later a Husky, and my dad also had mixed-breed dogs, so I grew up around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I helped with walks, feeding, brushing, and playtime. I enjoy spending time with dogs and would be happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, learn what they like, and send you photos and updates while you’re away. I currently work freelance, so my schedule is fairly flexible. This makes it easier for me to fit drop-in visits and dog walks around my work. Let me know the days and times you need, and we can work out a schedule that suits both of us. Before we start, I’d like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions. During visits, I’ll take care of feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning as needed, with time for company and play. On walks, I’ll keep your dog on a leash and follow your guidance. I’ll also be careful with doors when coming and going and send you photos and updates.

Emily was absolutely amazing! She was kind, professional, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and it was obvious that my dog had a wonderful time. Emily kept me updated and treated my dog like her own. I highly recommend her dog walking service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you so much, Emily!
Sabrina and Marcus did an outstanding job taking care of our pup Nala. They are incredibly patient and attentive, making sure Nala felt comfortable and happy throughout.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Burnaby is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 4,862 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Burnaby. About 83% of Burnaby 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 Burnaby. 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 Burnaby 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 Burnaby 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 Burnaby 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!
