“Ashley has been walking my dog while I'm at work for about a month now. She is really responsive and always gives thoughtful updates on how Stella was along with some sweet photos. It is really reassuring to know that Stella has had a chance to get out during the day, especially on days when I'm running late from work. Wonderful!”
About: My experience includes feeding, grooming, and providing necessary medications. Additionally, I am proficient in recognizing and responding to animal health concerns. I have a proven ability to create a safe and stimulating environment for pets. Moreover, I am passionate about ensuring their comfort and well-being. Fitting pet care into my daily routine is normal and essential. Each morning starts with a walk for my dog, followed by fresh food and water for both my dog and my cat. Throughout the day, I make sure to provide treats and playtime! Evenings involve another walk or backyard fun, followed by a final feeding and a quiet cuddle session before bed, making sure my cat is inside warm in my home and my dog feels loved and attended to. Caring for a client's pet in their home requires thorough preparation, clear communication, and a genuine love for animals. Caring for pets in our homes involves meeting their basic needs and providing a loving environment. For example, with my dog, Luna, a typical day includes a morning walk for exercise and a potty break, high-quality kibble, caring for her physical appearance by bathing her, trimming her nails, and brushing her fur. I also provide safe surroundings and interactions.
“Miranda has been great to work with. She is reliable and super responsive to messages and has been flexible to make things work for my doggo. It's been awesome having her take my dog for walks when I've been away for long days.”
About: Since a young age, dogs have always had a constant presence in my life. Not only have I cared for my own pets, but friends and family have also entrusted me to walk and sit for their beloved companions. Building on this passion, I have dedicated the past several years to working at vet clinics and dog walking/sitting on the side. So, in addition to my personal connection with dogs, I also bring professional expertise to the table. I work Monday-Friday from 7:30-3:30 but I am free most weekends for pet sitting. I would also be happy to do early morning or afternoon dog walks through the week. I take great care of pets in my home or client’s homes by thoroughly communicating with the client prior on their pet’s specific needs. I make sure to stick to the pets feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule so that they are happy and comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort St. John
Ashley is a superstar! She is really talented with animals and my dog adores her. Knowing that Ashley checks in on my dog (Stella) during the day gives me incredible peace of mind. She always takes time with Stella and gives me detailed updates on how things go. Ashley gives gold-star reliable & heartfelt care for a very reasonable price. I can't say enough about how much peace of mind she has gien me this year.
Ashley has been walking my dog 3 times a week and she is amazing! She is really reliable and has a fantastic rapport with Stella. I actually think that Stella (the dog) has become more self-assured and relaxed getting that extra reassurance and quality attention during the day. It's a huge relief to know that she has had a chance to go out and that she is in such competent hands. Ashley has a really great way with Stella and also cared for my cats a couple of months ago. I feel really lucky to have made contact with someone so talented with animals and so reliable!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fort St. John on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 Fort St. John. 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 Fort St. John.
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 Fort St. John 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 Fort St. John 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.
