“Karen is absolutely wonderful, I just had surgery and couldn’t walk my dog I messaged her and she replied right away which was super awesome. I was also struggling on this app and how everything worked, she came over and told me how to use the app and took the time to meet my dog and introduce herself. Karen took my dog for a nice long stroll. He came home such a happy boy! 😊 so thankful she was available and made the time for us!”
About: I have been a dog owner all my life. I am a working parent with 1 child. We walk and play outdoors everyday, often times in the mountains. We would love another fury friend around from time to time! I currently work from home full time and have lots of free time to play and go for walks. I am available to board weekdays and weekends after 5PM. I have a large fenced yard and back on to the walking paths. I love cuddles but prefer to keep the dogs off the furniture.
About: Greetings! I am an animal lover and have lived with cats and dogs most of my life. Most recently, I was a cat mom for 15 years. I am available to help care for your pet(s) while you’re away, drop in or live in. After retiring a few years ago, I moved to the Cochrane area. I have extra time in my flexible schedule to help care for your pets when you are not able to. I am happy to come to your home in the Cochrane area to care for your pets for either drop in or overnight sessions. I will take excellent care of your pet like they were my own.
About: As a family of six we ran a dog boarding care facility for over a decade. Fur babies have been our companions for most our lives. We enjoy outdoor exercise time with dogs. The company of a pet while relaxing at home is second to none. Life is only as good as the company you keep. We are a stay at home business owning family. With 6 of us and our friends and family coming or going throughout the day there is someone almost always home. Our boys are 22, 20 and 18 years and our daughter is now 9 years of age. We love cuddles and outdoor walks/jogs with dogs. Over night stays welcome or Pawsitive Pet Playcare! We are happy to accommodate your regular routine so your pet care is consistent while you are away. In Summer 2023, we welcomed a Yorkshire terror into our family. She’s been fun. Seen as dogs come with various personalities and traits we will enjoy getting to know your dog and socializing yours with ours. We can separate our dog from yours if necessary. If your dog is allowed to be on couch or bed we can accommodate that at our home.
About: I’ve owned cats all my life so I’m very experienced with them. I also love working with dogs, my family has always had big and small dogs around. I’m a school bus driver so I’m free after 9am to 1:30pm and then after 5pm also, mon-thurs. Friday 9am to 12:30pm and after 3:30pm. Weekends are fully available I give lots of love and make sure your pets are getting the best care possible. I will always listen to instructions and touch base about walks and outside time.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I remember myself. When I was a child I had two amazing puppies and we always had fun together. Also, I used to have a very cute cat. In addition I have experience sitting with my friends’s pets. I can walk, feed, bathe and play with your pet with pleasure. Currently I am working from home. I have a very flexible schedule. I can spend time with your pet as much as it is needed. I live in pet friendly apartment. In my community we have off leash park and lots of trails for comfortable walking. I’m very responsible person without any bad habits. I treat all animals with respect. You can rely on me.
“So lovely to deal with! I reached out last minute and they were so kind and accommodating. They treated my dog with genuine care on his walk, sent lots of cute photos and check-ins of my pup, and he had such a great time. I’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend them to others! :)”
“Tammy is the best! Morty gets so excited whenever she arrives for their walks. She's reliable, caring, and always makes sure Morty has a fun and safe adventure. Highly recommend Tammy for anyone looking for a fantastic dog walker!”
“Thank you so much Amber! Our pup Phoenix had such a good walk with Amber the last two days! She also fed Phoenix for us because we wouldn't be home for dinner. We definitely recommend booking Amber for dog walking!”
About: I have LOVED dogs since I was a child, growing up with a loyal German Shepherd, and a goofy Black Lab. That love of dogs has never left but I have not owned a dog as an adult due to work and travel, but the right time is slowly coming closer for me! I am currently volunteering at the CAHS as a dog walker and I absolutely love it! It's also been great experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. Last year, my partner and I dog-sat for friends in their apartment for a few months while they were out of the country. While this dog did have some behavioural issues, it was a very rewarding experience for us to have a dog in our daily lives again and we learned a lot along the way I'm currently not working and my partner is away for the summer so I would love to fill some of my time walking and doggy-sitting. I would love to take your dog on a hike, trail walk, or to an off leash park. Whatever they enjoy, I'm down for an adventure with your pup! Or we can do belly rubs on the couch, I love that too!! I live in a pet-free/child-free apartment, right across the street from a park for quick, easy potty breaks. I enjoy being outside and can offer multiple walks a day. I would love to discuss your pets needs and routine to make sure their stay with me is comfortable and fun for both of us
About: My name is Julie, We have our golden boy Jasper, who is a goldendoodle and is two and a haft year, He is neutered and is such a friendly pup and loves to have friends for day care :) But he stays at home if I’m needed to drop in or walk your pups, dogs, cats… hey I use to walk my cat in NS haha I’m here for it all and always challenge my self to new and def opportunities as well as I rise to any challenge that comes my way. I’ve been working on my new skills with grooming our own dog every second visit from the groomers in town and would be able to do some free trimming while taking care of your pet if needed no problem with request as I’d need to bring my tools unless there staying for the day care and after have had met you furr friends a few times before hand for your pets to become more comfortable with me first :) I have also recently taken a dog behaviour and training course and doggy chef course and can train your pet during my visits or our walks. Until then I look forward of meeting your furr friends and your self and taking good care of your pets for you as I have my own and know how much love they need and care. I currently work shift at work and can book days off monthly if set ahead of time if requesting for regular booking and have the privilege to as well to manage my own schedule and switch my shifts around if availability is available to accommodate taking care of pets if your going out of town, as my career is quite def then the norm and we just have to follow some rules to do so, but the down side of this is I’m always working holidays, most weekends and the busy time of the year with March break and summer but can also request specific days off of the week a month at a time if clients are weekly or monthly. I always bring our boy to the river off leash and also the ranch trails and carry wild animal spray and have bear spray with me at all time to best protect our selfs but wouldn’t take your pets out unless authorized to do so! I’ve taken pet first aid course online and also bad behaviour course so I can always have fun with your pets with trying to teach them new tricks and helping with some bad habits if needed and also only if I’m told to that it’s okay as well of course. Our morning routine is we walk jasper around the block every morning and to explore the surrounding trails that our amazing neighborhood has to offer, we are a very high energy family and are always on a mission for the next best thing and are very positive people my husband and I :) With some directions of the owner I will make sure your furr baby is loved and not stress and use my techniques from my pet courses and make sure they are happy and can’t wait for our next play date and refresh there water, make sure to lock everything up to keep the stranger danger away so there safe for there owner to come home too. I also carry a pet corrector spray that’s just noise incase there were to have any dispute with any other dogs while walking your pup or if that’s staying with us for a day care as well to make sure that the pets play nicely with each other with our dog Jasper.
About: I currently offer house sitting and pet care. For stays longer than 3 nights, I sometimes bring my own dog — a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is quiet, fully house-trained, and gets along well with other dogs. He is always kenneled when left home alone for safety. Bringing my dog is completely negotiable, and I’m happy to work with owners who prefer their dog to be the only one in the house. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before finalizing any booking to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I do work just under 40 hours per week, but it’s extremely important to me that dogs get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a full potty break before I leave for work so they’re comfortable while I’m away. I’m always home promptly after work to give them the attention, love, and care they deserve. In my spare time, I love activities where dogs can come along — walks, outdoor time, and trips to the dog park. I’m happy to take dogs on walks and to the dog park at no extra cost, as long as owners are comfortable and it suits their dog’s needs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following any specific care instructions your pet may have. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home, and I aim to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to chat and answer any questions you may have! I work just under 40 hours a week and when I am pet sitting I ensure I am home promptly after work to make sure the dogs get the care and attention they need. I always make sure that any gates or fences in the yards are closed when the dogs are outside , never let them bark for more then 1-2 minutes. I make sure potty breaks are given at least every 2 hours when I’m home and that they are fed and happy all the time
About: Growing up I always had animals in my home and around me that I cared for . As a kid I lived on an acreage and cared for our animals big and small. From the cats and dogs as well as the horses . Now in adulthood I own a cat as well as two large breed dogs (Great Danes) who I love and care for everyday. I am currently very flexible and available to care for your animals. Ideally during daytime hours while my son is at daycare i can care for your pets (ie. between 9am-5pm). In my home our pets are treated like family and I will respect and care for them like my own. I am an extremely trustworthy and dependable person. I frequently care for family members pets / homes while they are out of town.
“Deborah is very personable and definitely shows her love of dogs. Both the girls liked her and she took great care of them. They had a great walk. She send great pictures of the girls for us. She let us know when she arrived and when she left. If we were local we would definitely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager, feeding, grooming, and playing with pets whose ages range from just a few years old, to grey-haired, senior citizens. I also have experience taking care of pets on special diets, and those who need medication. I have previously volunteered with the Cochrane Humane Society, and currently volunteer with the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society animals from a variety of backgrounds, and with a variety of needs. I'm available to house sit, dog walk, and play with your pets in their home where they're most comfortable and at ease. I'm available Sunday through Saturday for drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I ask the owner about their pet's background, what their usual schedule is (especially in regards to eating, exercise, grooming, etc). if there are any foods they like/dislike, and if there are any medical needs I should be aware of. I make sure to get the phone number for the vet that their pet goes to, and discuss who to contact, and what to do in case of an emergency.
“Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful. My dog Yoshi warmed up to her immediately & I, myself felt very comfortable right away! I will definitely be working with Jacqueline again & would highly recommend her for your pets care with a home visit or walks!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Cochrane is $20

Brielle was so lovely to deal with and it seems Charlie is quite excited to see her for his daily walks. She is very consistent, reliable and communicates very effectively! She walks Charlie everyday and I certainly don’t let just anyone walk my fur baby :) highly recommend!
Kirk was absolutely wonderful with our dog Henri. This was our first time booking with him and we honestly couldn’t have felt better about it. He took such great care of Henri, kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear from the start that Henri bonded right away with him. What really stood out was how attentive he was - when Henri seemed a little off one day, Kirk checked in right away, adjusted the walk, and even offered to come back later just to make sure he was okay. That kind of care gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Kirk truly cares about the fur babies he works with. We came home to a happy pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend!
I would recommend Darielle to anyone who needs their pet cared for. Normally you get what you pay for, but I’d say you’re definitely getting more in this case. Her care of Loki definitely went above and beyond. He even got a Christmas present from her. She is very informative and diligent. She also has two young daughters that are great with pets as well. She started walking Loki when he was about 2.5-3 months old and asked if I would mind if she took her daughters with her during their walks/home visits. I was happy about, that as it was a great way to get Loki some experience with young children as I don’t have any of my own. She had a door code to get into my home, and she left the home in better condition than when she came (cleaning up Loki’s accidents). I used her services for about 5-6 months would definitely have kept using her indefinitely if I had not moved out of the Cochrane area. She is very accommodating and the very very few times she had to cancel I was given lots of notice to find another sitter/walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Cochrane on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of July 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 1,890 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Cochrane. About 86% of Cochrane 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 Cochrane. 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 Cochrane.
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 Cochrane 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 Cochrane 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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
