“Excellent communication, reliable, dependable. Had the background and necessary experience we sought for looking after our strong Leonberger. Sent lovely photos and updates. Very professional. Would definitely use again and highly recommend. Appreciate the fact he could accommodate last minute request and still fit in a meet and greet. Thank you Scott.”
“Such a kind man. My dog came back, so calm and happy. I love that he sent me 27 photos. There can never be enough photos of my dog! He also was so patient when I was a little bit late. My dog loved him.”
About: I have house-sat to take care of friends cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments several times over the past 10 years. I have a deep love for animals especially after losing my own cat a few years ago. My references can attest to my thorough and caring work when looking after their furry family and I can assure you I will do the same with yours! I have an affinity for cats specially and understand animal body language and boundaries (especially with strangers). I currently am a full time student about to graduate from SFU next year and work full time for the summer (7:30am-3:30pm). I am extremely flexible and can work my schedule around whenever you need! Same day appointments can be made in emergencies but I prefer at least one day of notice. I can easily adapt to your animals needs when I look after them, being able to read their body language and understand their cues! I love to cuddle and play with them but am also happy to give them their own space to ensure they are not stressed or scared during your absence. I am here for their (and your) comfort!
“Victoria was fantastic with my dog! It was great she could take on such a full walking schedule, on such short notice, before my vacation for two weeks. I loved seeing the pics and videos and seeing where they walked. I could always see my dog wagging her tail (through the door bell camera) happy to see Victoria for her evening walk. It felt good to see my dog excited. Thanks a bunch! Hope you have time in October to help us.”
“Paula was everything you could ask for and more!! Great communication, took lots of photos for us to see, and was very punctual ☺️ We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Our dog has been out for a couple of walks with Alex so far and comes back very happy and tired - he clearly has a lot of fun. Alex is also a pleasure to deal with: she communicates well and is very friendly and punctual. We'll be booking many more walks. Definitely recommend!”
About: My family and I are owners to a three year old big lab/mastiff cross who although is a gentle giant, can also get a bit crazy so if I can handle him I think I can handle anything. I’ve had a dog my whole life and I can’t imagine life without one. I have lots of experience dog sitting with both small and big dogs and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending my days with them. When I am hanging out with the dogs I want them to feel totally at ease while keeping to their normal habits and routine, whether that be their normal walks, play time or snuggling. While you’re away from your pets they are missing you so I like to give them love and comfort while you’re gone.
“Averi did a great job, from beginning to end. She answered my messages, booked a meet & greet, and scheduled our walks promptly. She always arrived within the agreed upon time frame and walked our dog for a full hour, providing us with lots of photos from the walk. Our dog always came back happy and ready for a nap. Would definitely hire her for walks again.”
About: With 10 years of pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving care for dogs and cats of all ages. I follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and treat every animal like family. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I do my best to be flexible with scheduling and always make sure your pet gets lots of love, playtime, walks, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“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.”
“She is the best sitter i have had. Xinmiao is always so quick to respond and I dont have to worry about a thing if my puppy is with her. You will not be able to find someone better to take care of your fur baby!! 100000% recommend”
About: Hi there, we are Brenna and Alex and we are a small family of animal lovers ❤️ We live in beautiful Port Coquitlam with our toddler, our friendly small fox terrier mix named Hunter, and our little girl cat Murphy, and we have several years of experience with animals and pet care. I (Brenna) started pet care on Rover in 2017, a couple years after I began dogsitting for friends & family, and fell in love! I then began to share my love for pet care with Alex and we’ve been doing it together ever since. Since our daughter has come along, we’re sharing our love of animals with her and watching her interact with them herself. She calls dogs “bubbas”, cats “meows”, and is absolutely obsessed with any pet we have come into our home, treating them with as much love, curiosity, respect, and calm gentleness as she does our own two furbabies. We are very thrilled to offer pet boarding, walking and drop-in services to local families with fairly open and flexible availability. Brenna works hybrid remote, Alex works fully remote, and we spend much of our days out on the beautiful nearby trails or enjoying the sunshine in our fenced backyard. If you just need a break and someone to take your pup for a walk/run/outdoor adventure for an hour or two, or are away/working late and need pet boarding services or drop-in visits for your pets, we are happy to chat. If your fur baby is friendly with other dogs, they can enjoy the added bonus of some socialization with our very friendly and healthy pup. We love exploring the TriCities area and all the different spots it has to offer for dogs, including trails, parks, rivers, and an off-leash dog park just minutes from our door, so you can be sure your pup will be well cared for and probably tuckered out from their adventure! We would be happy to provide glowing references at your request, or feel free to explore some pawsitive reviews from a few of the many local pawrents we’ve serviced in our time on Rover. We have experience with pets with separation anxiety, dietary restrictions, medical issues (administering medication during home visits), and more, so you can feel at ease knowing that your pet is loved and adequately & professionally cared for by experienced caregivers. We can't wait to meet you and your sweet furry family member(s)! My work is hybrid remote, which means we are quite flexible for day care, with all day availability Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, weekends and holidays. My husband works from home every day so is available for pet care and walks when I am not (Tues/Thu). Walks and outdoor play time fit into our daily schedule with ease, and with built-in socialization with our sweet fox terrier Hunter. Cat check-ins are flexible for anytime after 4pm Tues/Wed/Thu, and all day Monday, Friday, and weekends! To put it simply, my family treats your pet like our own. We always make sure to ask pet parents how they choose to do things at home so that the care we are providing to your pet helps them to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible, in their own space for drop-ins/walks, and offering loads of love at our own home. We are happy to help keep up your basic training commands with your pup or take them to their favourite spots if this is something that helps you or your pup to feel more comfortable. We also allow animals the freedom to snuggle on furniture as they wish, so if this is something that’s important in your home, rest assured your pet can comfortably make themselves at home with us!
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!
About: I have been caring for dogs for 8 years. I have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs, from small puppies to large adult dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications, providing basic grooming, and providing exercise and playtime. I am passionate about providing the best care for each individual dog and strive to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am currently a Medical School Student with lots of time going into my studies. However, I always prioritize movement and activities that bring me joy- like being around animals. I find dog walking is the perfect break between studying that fulfills my needs of physical activity and some friendly dog energy. I can easily manage my time to accommodate my clients' needs, while still having time for my own activities. I can schedule my appointments around my other commitments, such as my studies, allowing me to provide quality pet care services while still having time for myself. I have always put a lot of care into the pet services I offer. When dog sitting or dog walking, it is important to take safety precautions to ensure the safety of both the pet and myself. I make sure to keep the pet on a leash when outside, and never leave the pet unattended. I'm aware of the pet's behavior at all times and watch for signs of aggression or distress. I make sure to provide plenty of water and food, and keep the pet away from any hazardous materials. Finally, always be sure to clean up after the pet and dispose of waste properly.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Coquitlam is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Coquitlam
I had a very good experience with Elke. She has the knowledge, experience, and patience to deal with dogs. My dog was not an easy case. A four-year-old husky that does not trust others easily, but Elke earned his trust quickly. She is accurate and plans very well. Overall, I recommend her.
Victoria was fantastic with my dog! It was great she could take on such a full walking schedule, on such short notice, before my vacation for two weeks. I loved seeing the pics and videos and seeing where they walked. I could always see my dog wagging her tail (through the door bell camera) happy to see Victoria for her evening walk. It felt good to see my dog excited. Thanks a bunch! Hope you have time in October to help us.
Taryn is absolutely incredible with my puppy. She began walking my pup two days after I rescued her as I work full-time out of the home. At that time, I didn't have a lot of first hand information about my pup to provide her with, but she took every walk with stride. She provides updates and has been able to meet the needs of my puppy in terms of going on a walk, staying inside to play, and potty breaks. I would recommend Taryn to everyone due her in natural instincts with puppies and dogs.
This was my first time using Rover, and first time hiring someone to walk my girl, Frankie. They were able to accommodate my booking the same day. They are punctual. I could tell Frankie was very comfortable going with them for the walk, which makes me so happy. Looking forward to booking again when I need the help!!
Tatyanna is a wonderful Dog Specialist. I would even say that this is the best sitter that Bruno(my furry baby) and I have ever had! She took preparation so seriously, and visited our place a few times to get to know Bruno and his behaviour pattern/habits better. Tatyana was sending me pictures and videos daily when she was at our place and reporting how Bruno felt and how everything was going. She even watered my plants, which was just amazing! :) In a nutshell, I would definitely recommend Tatyana if you need a warm, kind, responsible and experienced specialist to look after or train your dog :)
We hired Vivian to walk our dog, Hazel, for 3 weeks while we were away. Vivian was absolutely wonderful with Hazel. She is a very kind, compassionate person and truly cares about dogs. Hazel looked forward to her walks each day and enjoyed all the new places that Vivian took her to explore. I would not hesitate to book Vivian again for walks or boarding while we are away. I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Vivian.
Stephanie was great! I have a big dog full of beans and she seemed to have no issue handling him. Stephanie was very flexible with schedule changes, she was always on time, kept in communication and kept me updated. If I hadn’t moved, I would keep Stephanie as my dog walker! She really helped keep my boy tired and happy! I would recommend her to anyone!
Victoria has been working with our puppy for several months now and has been such an awesome help. Our boy adores her and can't wait for his walks with her. She is patient, kind, and helps keep his training consistent. She has also been very accommodating and helped us find other dog walkers on days she was unavailable, and is always reliable and easy to communicate with!
What a relief to be able to trust someone so completely to come to our house each day we were on vacation, to take our dogs for a walk! Nathan made sure our dogs were well exercised and safe in our absence and we’re delighted to know we can count on him in future too!
London was wonderful with Simba! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about him. Simba was happy and well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates. I would definitely book with London again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker！

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Coquitlam on Rover is $27.75 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 4,787 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Coquitlam. About 85% of Coquitlam 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 Coquitlam. 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 Coquitlam.
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 Coquitlam 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 Coquitlam 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.
