About: I grew up with lots of animals and have been pet sitting for family, friends, and clients since I was 12. I’d love to help care for your pets. I am a photographer that works from home and have tons of flexibility in my work schedule to care for your pets and get outdoors! While I am unable to invite other pets into my home as I have three cats and a large dog, I’m happy to stop by to take your dogs for a walk, clean cat litter boxes, and play with your pets!

About: I grew up on a farm, and animals are a part of our lives. Dogs and cats were a part of my life from puppy age to senior age. Usually, the animals on a farm were our playmates when we were children, and they played the role of the family protector. And now I like to do the same for them. I am pretty open. l keep my life simple and do not over-schedule. I like to keep it so that schedules run smoothly for myself and the customers. I work from home and I am in control of my schedule. I make sure I follow the clients directions to keep their animal safe, leashes on when needed, doors closed quickly, gates checked that they are closed. I do my best to make sure they don't eat anything on the ground.,I have 25 years experience with dogs and cats. Love throwing toys for the dog to chase and retrieve. And I have the patience to take it slow with older dogs on walks.

About: I love dogs and have had them my entire life. I have a very calm energy and dogs find it very comforting. I also have experience with reactive dogs and handling multiple dogs at the same time. I'm also very respectful of other people's boundaries and rules regarding their dogs. Recently had to say goodbye to my best friend.

Also work very close to home so it's easy to pop by my home if needed. Very mobile around cochrane area Have a fenced in yard and dog friendly home. Do not have children or have dogs of my own so I can take reactive dogs or dogs that are nervous around others.

About: I have a diploma in canine care, behaviour and welfare. I was a dog handler in a luxury pet hotel and was at the forefront of the creation of one of the UK’s most successful raw dog food companies. I adore animals, and spend every moment I can with as many as I can. I resonate with the quote “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself” and will devote my life to ensure every animal I encounter feels the love it deserves. I have 2 dogs back in England who I miss terribly and hope to bring to Canada one day. In the meantime, I will solemnly swear to take care of your babies as I would my own. Most of my early mornings, afternoons and evenings are free, in which I can care for your wonderful companions. I am happy to walk, play, feed and even take to the dog park for some much needed energy release! I have a truck, so if your dog loves car rides, I can make that happen too! I never let our furry friends out of my sight. Whether in my own home, or yours - all hazards are removed and a safe space will be provided to ensure your beloved pet stays safe and happy! I am courteous, clean, tidy and respectful.

About: Mon - Fri (7:30pm-midnight) Sat - Sun (All day) I have ten years’ experience caring for dogs and senior pets, including feeding, walking, medication support, gentle handling, and patient attention to individual routines needs. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care on weekdays and weekends. I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits. I will always confirm the time in advance and provide reliable care. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication, and house rules. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times, and I never let a pet off-leash unless the owner has clearly approved it in a safe area.make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and attention. I also watch for any changes in behaviour, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual. In a client’s home, I respect their property, keep the area clean, and make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave. I will also send photos and updates so the owner knows their pet is safe and doing well.

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. My experience includes obedience training, leash skills, structured walks, confidence building, and working with dogs who need extra guidance or structure. I believe walks should be more than simply getting a dog from point A to point B. They’re a chance to explore, get physical and mental exercise, practice good habits, and enjoy time outside. I tailor each walk to the individual dog, whether they need a relaxed sniffing walk, some extra exercise, or a little training mixed into their outing. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’d love to meet you and your pup beforehand so we can go over their routine, needs, and anything important for me to know. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, except for sundays, making it easy for me to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I can fit walks, drop-ins, and other care into my daily routine while giving each dog the time and attention they need. My flexible availability also allows me to accommodate different schedules and care needs. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and make sure their pet receives the appropriate exercise, enrichment, feeding, and attention. As a dog trainer, I’m comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, structure, and a positive experience.

I am so happy to have found Amber! I needed someone to take my pup out rather last minute, and she not only got back to me quickly but was happy to help out. She went above and beyond with her communication getting to know my pup before picking him up, which I was so appreciative of! You can tell she truly cares about every dog in her care. My dog had such a wonderful time with her, he loved her dog (Dante) and even tried to for another walk with Amber as we said goodbye! 😂 I highly recommend her! Thank you again, Amber!

I'm happy that Tammy was available for a very last minute request. Tammy took good care of Mojo. He can be a bit afraid and reactive with strangers, so she took her time with him and according to what she told me, I feel like she introduced herself to him in the right way, she knows what she's doing. She did more than asked (45 min instead of 30!) + trained him positively with some treats during the walk. She took cute pictures of him as well. Thanks Tammy ! :-)

Caitlin was so caring and a wonderful “new” human companion to my 2 chihuahuas over our multiple days stay in Calgary. She ensured they got lots of attention, time outside walking , and cuddles too (all of which they love!). I always had great and timely feedback from Caitlin about how the walk went and she so easily ensured any updates or requests on my end were met. I won’t hesitate to book with Caitlin again when I’m back in the area. Thank you!!!

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cochrane

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cochrane is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 1,860 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Cochrane. About 84% 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 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 Cochrane 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 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.

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 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!
