“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”
“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.”
About: I have become a reliable and dependable source to neighbors, friends, and family for petcare from a young age, and have consistently taken care of dogs and cats from the age of 9. I am a trustworthy and hardworking individual who ensures the dog or cat I’m taking care of is my top priority. I am a student, so have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets! My schedule is subject to change, so I am happy to provide more details when organizing specific dates :) My family dog Pippa is 12 but just as active and lovable as a puppy. I am used to walking her and taking care of her daily, but now that I’m away from home, I am looking to take care of your pet as if it were my own. Depending on the dog or cat’s needs, I am able to spend quality time with your pet, and make sure they are happy and healthy as much as possible.
“Veronica is extremely reliable and genuinely caring for my dog. My friend used her service too, but had moved away and have not been able to find someone as good as Veronica. She is an absolute gem!”
“We're not sure who loves Claire more, us or our pup, Scooby! He is a dog with reactivity issues and fear of strangers, and Claire made him so comfortable and was able to connect with him with ease. We all definitely look forward to Claire's weekly walks!”
“We got home to a very happy dog after being walked by Sophia. She arrived on time and it sounds like she managed him really well, even having some off-leash time, which he loves!”
“Breanna was able to help me out last minute when I was home sick and juni needed a walk. Appreciated her patience and encouragement with juniper as she was hesitant to head out with a stranger.”
“Deborah is deeply caring. We have an old dog that limps and has some incontinence. We wanted someone who was caring and would never get mad at him or rush him. Deborah gave him the patience and love he needed.”
“Amanda is truly amazing! She goes above and beyond. Very trustworthy. We will definitely recommend her to our colleagues and will for sure get her once again the next time.”
“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.”
“Diana is amazing! She’s super friendly, caring, and reliable. My dog absolutely loves her — I can tell he’s made a new friend! Thank you, Diana, for taking such great care of him. 🐾”
“I have a 160lb mountain dog that needed to be walked as I healed from my surgery, finding someone who I could trust was scary but Shawn was great with my dog. I got the reassurance I needed that he was well taken care of. He is punctual and always had a smile on his face. He is someone who I can definitely see myself contacting in the future when I need help. If you are looking for a great reliable dog dad, you found him, he will not disappoint.”
About: I love pets more than people! I would love to hang out with yours!💜 I've had pets my entire life and, as a proud cat mom to two of the best kitties, I know how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I'm the person friends turn to when they need someone trustworthy to look after their pets. I recently took my two cats on an extended road trip, and they did wonderfully—proof of my ability to care for animals in all kinds of situations! I love animals more than people, and I'll treat your pets with the same level of affection and attention as my own. I’m self employed and often work from home. I have lots of time to visit and exercise your pets. I also go for walks/hikes often so I would love to have your pet join me! I have 2 cats that are cool with small, cat friendly dogs. Have a fenced in concrete patio (no grass.) I also live across the street from a park and several walking paths.
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.
“My dog Rue had a great time- Halyna & Ugurcan were really punctual and took Rue for a wonderful walk, sent us photos and offered to clean her up afterwards as well!”
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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Burnaby is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burnaby
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!
I had a wonderful experience with Joey! She walked my dog and went above and beyond my expectations. She genuinely cares about animals and treats them with kindness and patience. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well exercised, which gave me so much peace of mind. Joey was punctual, reliable, and made sure my dog was safe and comfortable during the walk. She also kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It’s not always easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pet, but Joey is definitely someone I would trust again without hesitation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and responsible dog walker.
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
The average cost for Dog Walking in Burnaby on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 4,870 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Burnaby. About 85% 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:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
