About: I’m an experienced dog owner with a genuine love for animals and a strong understanding of their needs. Having cared for my own dogs and others for years, I’m comfortable with daily routines including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, grooming, and reinforcing training commands. I am available everyday of the week for drop ins, walks, day care and boarding. Whatever yours and your pets needs are, I can more than likely accommodate. Moose goes out 4 times a day and we are centred around adventure and outdoors! I live right beside Aggie Park and the Poco trail where I normally take my dog for long walks by the river. My dog is a bit over 2 years old and very excited to make new friends. I will make sure your pets needs are taken care of. They will receive lots of love and attention throughout their whole stay with us, lots of photos and videos will always be provided for owners reassurance.
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!
“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 worked at a rescue, as well as in ER/ICU. Those jobs have given me hands on experience for giving oral/injectable medicine, as well as what to do in emergencies. I am very interested in dog training and behaviour, and firmly believe in fear free approaches. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and know how to handle any temperament or size. I have also worked with guinea pigs, rabbits, birds (large and small), mice, and reptiles. Rover is my full time work, so I am available for whenever needed, barring overlapping visits. I am able to go between houses during the day. I will adhere to instructions left by owner(s), as well as respect that I am in your home. I will make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable, and like they have an extra friend to help them while you are away.
“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!”
“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.”
About: IG/FB：wagbites_pet for more offer！ I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and currently care for two — an Australian Shepherd and a Maltipoo. I’m experienced with both big and small dogs and treat every pup like family Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I used to bring my dogs to work, and now that I work from home, I’m with them all day. I take them on trail walks every day and cook their meals myself, paying close attention to nutrition and balance. I care for pets with patience, love, and attention to their routine. At my home, pets get daily exercise, healthy meals, and lots of playtime. I keep things clean, calm, and safe. In a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and happy, just like they’re with family.
“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!”
“Shawna is amazing!! She takes our dog on great walks, always gives feedback and photos. So flexible, communicative and reliable couldn’t ask for anything more! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals wasn’t just a responsibility, it was a way of life. Over the years, I’ve also shared my home with beloved dogs and cats of my own, giving me a deep understanding of the love, patience, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to understand the animals, emotional, and physical needs and adapt accordingly. As an experienced Airbnb host, I understand the importance of respecting your home as carefully as I care for your pets. Whether your companion needs energetic walks, gentle companionship, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I am comfortable administering medications as directed, monitoring your pet for any changes in health or behaviour, providing wound care, and skilfully and confidently following veterinary instructions after appointments or treatments. My goal is simple: to ensure you return home to happy, healthy pets and a home that has been cared for with the same attention and respect I bestowed on my Short term rental property. I have the experience and expertise to handle any event that occurs in a capable calm manner. This is my retirement job and I’m so excited about it. It is in my nature to nurture animals homes, and of course, my kids and grandkids. I am a positive influence and addition in any role that I take on. This is also an opportunity for me to be active and connected, which is very important to me. Pets are best served by being in their own space where they are familiar and comfortable. Walks are provided that are adventurous or calm, depending on the needs of my current walking companion. Attention to detail will be provided in their maintenance feeding routine and healthcare guidelines provided by their owner and or veterinarian. I am skilled at administering medication and providing wound care.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for two of my own. I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care. I offer reliable dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m patient, attentive, and always focus on making pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and keep routines consistent. Whether your dog needs a relaxed walk, some playtime, or just company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m home most days with my toddler, which allows me to be flexible and reliable for dog walking and drop-in visits. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and timely visits throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize safety, respect, and routine. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors secured, and make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m often with my toddler during the day, so I’m a great fit for dogs that are friendly and comfortable around children.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Coquitlam
Victoria has helped me walk and care for my dog Reggie over the last few months. My dog absolutely adores her. She is a true animal lover at heart which shows in the attention and care she provides. Victoria is reliable and responds promptly to message. I would highly recommend Victoria for dog sitting and walking.
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.
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 September 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 4,785 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.
