“Our dog had a great time with Courtney! She showed up at the scheduled time, gave us an update and provided photos. She was super easy to communicate with and made the process easy. Would book again, thanks Courtney!”
“Helen was wonderful was with my pup and he came back super happy and tired. She provided the cutest pictures and information about the walk once returned. I’d definitely recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love and understand cats. I’m a cat owner myself, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable, gentle, and attentive checking in on your pets while you’re away. I offer cat-focused drop-in visits where I can feed them, refresh their water, clean/scoop litter, give them playtime, cuddles if they want them, and send photo updates so you know they’re safe and comfortable. I’m especially good with cats who are shy, cautious, or need someone patient who won’t overwhelm them. I understand that every cat has their own personality, so I let them warm up at their own pace while still making sure they’re cared for properly. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding routines, litter care, house rules, and any little habits that make your cat feel secure. My goal is to make your cat feel calm, cared for, and loved while giving you peace of mind that everything at home is being looked after. My main experience and comfort is with cats, but I’m also happy to help with calm, friendly dogs for drop-in visits, feeding, water refreshes, potty breaks, and short leash walks. Because I’m still building my dog-care experience, I only accept dogs who are gentle, leash-trained, and non-reactive. I always do a meet-and-greet first so I can make sure it’s the right fit for both me and your pet. I work full-time, but I’m available for drop visits before 8:30AM & between 12 and 1 PM & after 4:30 PM during the week and available most weekends and stats. I offer drop in visits at your home. This way, your pet does not need to feel the stress of being in a new environment.
About: Helping your pets living their best life! I’m experienced with big size dogs, elder animals, giving medication if needed. I have my pet first aid course. But most of all, I’m a pet sitter that cares a lot about your pet’s well being and will adapt to all level of energy! I work evening shifts at Island Lake Lodge so my calendar is very flexible for walking your dog at mid day during the work days. For pet sitting, this season I’ll be working 8h/day except Wednesdays & Thursdays so I won’t be able to be full time with your pet at home. I walk dogs & do pet sitting within Fernie only. Always one dog at a time (or multiple dogs if they are from the same household). I also take care of cats & other pets and will give them all the love they deserve!
“Wiley is phenomenal! We used him for dog walking and house sitting, and we couldn't be any happier with the service he provided! We met up with Wiley to do a meet and greet before booking the services and it was immediately apparent how good he is with our cat, Nina, and our dog, Bailey. His experience with animals was evident, and it put us at ease right away, especially since we have a more senior dog who shows some leash reactivity. He updated us with photos, and sent a summary on his last day. When we got home, we arrived to happy animals and a clean house, just as we left it. Money well spent! We 100% would use Wiley again! Thank you Wiley!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fernie 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 35 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Fernie. About 84% of Fernie 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 Fernie. 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 Fernie.
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 Fernie 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 Fernie 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
