About: I have taken care of our own family dogs, friends and clients dogs. I love all dogs! As I am an Energy Healer, animals seem to relax in my presence. Nature and the outdoors are also my hobbies, so your dogs will get lots of fresh air and walks. I am self-employed and work part-time, often at home in Cowichan and a few times monthly in Victoria, thus my hours are flexible. Preference to sits in Duncan area and Victoria. Please note: I do Drop-ins ONLY in North Cowichan and Duncan proper. For safety purposes, homes would need to have cell service.

Pets are cared for as if they were my own. Instructions are followed respectfully, and your fur babies will be in loving hands!
About: I'm a patient, gentle, and responsible person who enjoys spending time outdoors, going for walks, and exploring nature. I'd be happy to share those little adventures with your dog, while also enjoying quiet, relaxed time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and needs. I take the time to get to know them and respect their individual preferences, whether that means an energetic walk, a little playtime, or simply some quiet companionship and cuddles. I am a semi-retired educator, a former dog Mom who has a lot of time and love to share with your furry companion. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and staying active. This makes pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my day. At the same time I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. I believe in creating a calm, loving environment where pets can feel at home. I’m happy to send you regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Most of all, I offer patience, kindness, and genuine affection. I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone else requires trust, and I would do my very best to make that experience a positive one for both you and your furry family member.

About: Hi, I’m Jaimi! I bring several years of hands-on experience in both clinical and behavioural settings. I’ve worked in veterinary hospitals for three years across Toronto and Vancouver Island, including at James Bay Veterinary Clinic, where I assisted in appointments and procedures, handled dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, and supported overall patient care. Alongside my clinical experience, I spent four years volunteering as a dog walker with a rescue, working with dogs of varying backgrounds, energy levels, and behavioural needs. This gave me a strong foundation in reading body language, supporting nervous or reactive dogs, and handling a wide range of temperaments safely and calmly. I’ve also raised and trained my own dog, Rue, and have a strong personal interest in canine behaviour. I’ve recently been accepted into the University of Edinburgh, where I’ll be continuing my education in canine behaviour and training, with the long-term goal of becoming a certified clinical animal behaviourist. I’m based in the Cowichan Valley (near Duncan) and love getting dogs out on local trails, river walks, and quiet nature spots. My approach to care is structured, attentive, and tailored to each individual dog. I offer both one-on-one walks and small, well-matched group hikes, with a focus on calm handling, safety, and positive group dynamics. I typically start dogs one-on-one to get to know them before introducing them into a group setting if appropriate. I’m also happy to reinforce any training you’re currently working on, whether that’s leash skills, recall, or general manners — consistency is key, and I’m mindful of maintaining your dog’s routine. If you’re looking for thoughtful, reliable care with a behaviour-focused approach, I’d love to connect. Jaimi 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent, focused time to pet care throughout the week. I typically structure my days around morning and afternoon walks/hikes, with availability for drop-in visits and additional care as needed. I aim to keep a steady and predictable routine for the dogs in my care, while still being able to accommodate different schedules when possible. Whether your dog thrives on consistency or needs a bit more flexibility, I do my best to work with their individual routine. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care that fits naturally into your dog’s day. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I aim to provide calm, structured, and attentive care so each pet feels secure and well-supported. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I carefully follow all instructions around feeding, medication, and exercise, and I pay close attention to behaviour and body language to ensure your pet is comfortable and not experiencing stress. For walks and hikes, I use safe, positive handling techniques and make decisions based on each dog’s individual needs. Dogs are kept on leash unless they are in a safe, appropriate environment and have reliable recall, with owner approval. I’m mindful of surroundings, group dynamics, and safety at all times. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for any changes in health, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. I also take the time to build trust with each dog through patience and consistency, creating a safe and positive experience.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Duncan is $34 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $46 per walk.

There are 881 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Duncan. About 84% of Duncan 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 Duncan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Duncan 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 Duncan 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 Duncan 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!
