“Emma and partner are just lovely people. Both are very responsive, accommodating, and descriptive in their details on my girls’ rover cards! It has been just AMAZING to have a walker/sitter that is respectful, responsive, and pleasant to interact with AND lives close by. They are both very trustworthy, reliable, and work well with my very spoiled girls. Highly recommend.”
“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”
About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician offering reliable, in-home pet care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment 🐾 I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — including seniors, anxious pets, and those who need medications or extra monitoring. Your pet’s safety, routine, and well-being are always my top priorities. When I stay in your home, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency with their usual schedule. I’m confident administering oral medications and can accommodate special care needs if needed. I’m happy to care for multi-pet households and will treat your home and animals with the same respect and care I would my own. You’ll also receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away 🤍 Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pets! I am currently working full time as a Registered Veterinary Technician in North Vancouver. I work 10hr shifts every Wednesdays to Saturdays. My availability is most flexible from Sunday through Tuesday, where I can offer in-home pet sitting and overnight stays. During these days, I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including early mornings, evening walks, and pets who need more frequent care or medication schedules. I’m comfortable caring for multi-pet households and pets with specific needs. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Availability can vary depending on existing bookings, so I recommend reaching out in advance — especially for holidays or longer stays. Feel free to message me with your dates and your pet’s needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and can respond quickly if any concerns arise. When caring for your pet in your home, I make every effort to maintain a calm, familiar, and low-stress environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medical or special care needs. I’m experienced in administering medications and handling pets of all temperaments, including those who may be anxious or require a bit more patience and attention. I always prioritize safe handling, secure environments, and clear communication. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I will also treat your home with the utmost respect and care. My goal is to provide reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care you can fully trust.
“I’m so glad I was able to book Yiran . From the very first walk, my dog had the best time with her. Yiran is incredibly attentive and really takes the time to observe and understand my dog’s little quirks, preferences, and habits. By the second visit, my dog was so excited to see her his tail wouldn’t stop wagging! Yiran has such a gentle and caring energy, and it really shows in how she connects with our fur friends.She’s also very punctual and respectful, which I really appreciate. I truly feel at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. Whenever I need help caring for him, Yiran will absolutely be the first person I reach out to. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶💛”
“I’ve only had Tanya walk my 6 month old pup for the past few days and she’s been absolutely amazing! She is extremely communicative and very thoughtful. My pup loved Tanya right from the start!”
“Highly recommend Clare to take care of your pet! I was gone for a couple weeks and decided to have Clare come to my house to pick up my dog for walks every day. He absolutely loves her and it’s very evident how much she cares for your pet, like they are her own. I was confident in knowing Gunner was in great hands while I was away and she sent me lots of pics of their adventures. Clare also went above and beyond, taking him on really fun adventures and helping me out with making sure he was clean afterwards and had lots of water at home. Thanks again, so much!”
“James is so great! Our dog is a little hesitant to be walked by strangers but warmed right up to James and now gladly goes with him. We appreciate that James is friendly and personable but also punctual and reliable, not to mention nice enough to do us a huge last minute walk favor. Thanks James!”
“Tamara has been so great! It's my first time using a dog walker and I am so happy with her. She has shown she's reliable and truly cares for the dogs. My little guy is very happy when I get home at night and that's what really matters!”
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience caring for pets of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy the time I spend supporting their daily routines. I’m gentle, patient, and take care to build trust so each pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. I’m happy to assist with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, and basic grooming, always following the schedule and preferences shared by pet parents. I understand that every companion is unique, and my goal is to ensure they feel calm, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have full availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time caring for pets. This allows me to be flexible with schedules and provide consistent attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or boarding at any time while maintaining each pet’s routine and comfort. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I carefully follow instructions shared by pet parents, including routines, boundaries, and preferences. I provide supervised playtime and have a variety of toys and activities to keep pets mentally and physically engaged throughout the day. I prioritize cleanliness, close supervision, and a low-stress setting, and I’m always happy to adjust care arrangements to ensure every pet feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have been working with animals for over ten years, including regularly volunteering at local animal rescues, such as VOKRA and the BCSPCA. I can watch cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and everything in between, but my specialty is cats and dogs. I am a high energy person who loves going on runs, and I love taking dogs with me. I often take my friend's and neighbour's dogs on hikes, and it's one of my favourite pastimes. I have been trained in pet care and animal CPR so I am confident in always ensuring your pet is healthy and safe. I work generally from home and I make my own hours, so stepping away to take care of pets is extremely easy for me. I also work in theatre consistently, but these hours are also staggered so my schedule is frequently very open. I have a three storey condo with two kitties living here. Personally I am more than happy to go to my clients home and watch their pets, both during the day and overnight to ensure they are looked after and safe. I live with two cats and my husband so I have plenty of time and ability to travel and stay in other places. I would love to meet you in person to make sure you feel safe with someone new watching your furry friend.
About: Having raised a pup for 2yrs and a cat for 3yrs, I am familiar to caring for a pets. I understand the needs of each client and I learn the needs & habits of each pet thereby customizing the experience I provide. Your pet will find a friend on Grange neighbourhood. I work from home till 1pm, but I can manage a decent amount of hours before noon to care for pet clients. After 1pm am 100% available, I live close to central park which is an added benefit to go walk the pets. Since I’m home all weekdays, I can intake pet drop-in at my place. I care for pets by spending time, make sure they feel safe and loved, feed on time, play, take on walks etc.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 4 years, including my own dog and my friend’s dog. I’ve handled various responsibilities like feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they need. My experience includes working with dogs of different ages, from playful puppies to older pets requiring extra care I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for walks during the week and both playtime and walks during the weekend. Since I’ll be taking care of your pet in your home, I’ll make sure to maintain the same safe and comfortable environment they’re used to. My goal is to ensure they feel relaxed and cared for, just like when you’re there, so they won’t feel stressed and can stay happy and comfortable while you’re away.

Writing Samantha was on time, and even arrived early for our meet and greet. She was reliable, respectful of my time, friendly, open, and listened carefully to my wishes about Re. Re was comfortable with her right away and had a good walk today. Samantha also asked thoughtful questions about Re's home routine and daily life, which showed she wanted to understand Re's needs. I'm very pleased with the experience and would be happy to have Samantha walk Re again.
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. Communication was excellent from start to finish, keeping me informed and reassured. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters!
Maya absolutely loves Vitória! We’ve already asked her to come on a recurring basis because she’s been such a wonderful fit. She always leaves thoughtful, detailed reports, and I can tell Maya gets plenty of exercise and attention during their time together. Vitória is friendly, reliable, and so easy to communicate with — we feel very lucky to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 4,998 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Burnaby. About 84% 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 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 Burnaby.
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 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.
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 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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
