“I had a great experience. Rocco felt comfortable with him right away, and they built a great connection from the very first session. He went above and beyond, and I finally feel like I’ve found someone I can truly trust with my baby boy. Highly recommended.”
About: We both grew up around dogs, cats, and hamsters, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of our lives. For over 5 years, we’ve gained hands on experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including anxious, territorial, highly active, and rescue dogs. We also have solid local references from families who have trusted us with their pets. We’re organized, reliable, and attentive, and we always strive to provide a clean, calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. Jam: I work weekdays from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I’m available for early morning walks before work and, depending on the location, I may also be able to do quick lunch break walks or check-ins. I’m usually home before 3:00 PM, giving me plenty of time to walk, play, and spend quality time with your pets for the rest of the day. Kris: I work part-time on weekdays and am usually home from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. This allows me to spend most of the day with your dog, including walks, playtime, and lots of companionship. With our schedules, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. We work together to make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and needs will always be our priority. Very flexible and happy to adjust to your dog’s routine, energy, and specific care needs to help them feel comfortable and stress free. We also take cleanliness seriously and will always make sure your home is kept clean and respected just as we found it.

I have done this all over the sea to sky region and over 5 countries. 🌎 Pet sitting has also taken be abroad, pet sitting in Norway, Portugal, and France. When I dog sit we go for long walks or runs or whatever form of exercise is requested & give LOTS of love & cuddles.

About: I've had 4 dogs in my life from the age of 15 and they all lived full and happy lives. Currently I look after 3 beautiful and healthy cats which had been a dream of my since childhood. As a self employed narrative designer and video editor I get to have a lot of sporadic free time which matches perfectly with pet sitting. I'm very respectful of other people's homes since it's a privileged to be invited into someone else's space. I also take into consideration that, like people, every animal has its own personality and needs which I'm here to tend to.
“Thank you so much! We truly appreciated everything. You were punctual, quick to respond, and the photos you sent were amazing. Most importantly, our dog Clermont had such a wonderful time with you! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again!”

About: I was born on a family farm and grew up surrounded by animals: they are part of my life. So I learned very young to take care of them gently, patiently and responsibly. I am a great lover of animals and the unconditional love they offer. As a career home attendant, I am also used to being attentive, reliable and rigorous, especially in more complex care. My sister, a veterinary assistant, also gave me a lot of knowledge and remains a resource in case of need. For me, keeping an animal is making sure it feels loved, safe and well entertained! I am currently following an online course in massage therapy and orthotherapy, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and a lot of time to offer to the animals I take care of. As my studies are done remotely, I can easily integrate visits, walks, care and home attendance into my routine. It is therefore something that fits very well into my daily life, especially since the well-being of animals is really close to my heart. Even shorter: I am currently following an online course in massage therapy and orthotherapy, which gives me a flexible schedule and a lot of availability to take care of animals. I can easily integrate visits, walks, care and home attendance into my daily routine. I always make sure to respect the routine, instructions and rhythm of each animal so that it feels safe and confident in its environment. I am a very active person; I train 5 to 6 times a week and I love walking. I would therefore be happy to accompany the dogs on regular walks, depending on their energy level and needs. For dogs who are comfortable in the car, I can also take them for a walk in different safe places to offer them stimulation, movement and beautiful moments outside. Their well-being, safety and happiness are always my priority.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lions Bay is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $57 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,410 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Lions Bay. About 83% of Lions Bay 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 Lions Bay. 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 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 Lions Bay 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 Lions Bay 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 Lions Bay 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!
