“Cristina and Maria were amazing walkers for Skye. I appreciated the questions they asked and they were on time and my parents (where Skye was staying) had nothing but wonderful things to say when they picked up/dropped off Skye.”

“Natalie is amazing with dogs, including my 104 pound English Labrador, Duke. Her dog Kali is a sweetheart, very well trained, and our two dogs got along beautifully from the start. I’ve used Rover for many years in 3 different countries, and Natalie is one of the few 5 star handlers on my list.”

“We absolutely love having her as Benny’s dog walker! She is so loving, gentle, and caring with him, and it’s clear how much she genuinely adores him. Benny is always in such good hands, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he is being cared for by someone who treats him with such kindness and affection. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for great care for their pets.”

“We had an amazing experience with Angela! She walked our two big, somewhat challenging dogs six times and did a fantastic job every single visit. Her communication was excellent, she was reliable, and she handled our dogs with confidence and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled dog walker. Thanks, Angela!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and have a lifelong love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including indoor and outdoor cats and dogs of different breeds and sizes. I also have my own dog and have done extensive training with reactivity and anxiety, giving me experience working calmly and patiently with reactive or anxious dogs. I offer house sitting and take care of everything while you’re away, treating every pet and home as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I meet with each family allowing me to create a trailered plan to meet the needs of each home. Helping to provide a stable environment for every animal! I believe it’s best for the animals to stay where they are the most comfortable. So I typically stay with them or ensure I go for multiple visits throughout the day.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Nanoose Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Nanoose Bay is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $37 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 229 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Nanoose Bay. About 85% of Nanoose 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 Nanoose 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 Nanoose 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 Nanoose 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 Nanoose 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!
