“Aiden has been picking Remi up for his daily walks for the last couple of months and does an amazing job! Professional, punctual, and great with my pup. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!”
“Bruna is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She treated my dog with respect and put Mika's comfort first. I am very happy to keep booking walks with Bruna.”
“Liudmila helped me out by taking my dog on a walk and she did a fantastic job. She took the time to learn about my dog's quirks and behaviour and included lots of photos on the rover card. She is punctual and an excellent communicator.”
“Claire is very attentive and kind. Nimbus LOVES her and very clearly had a lovely time on his walk. He came back tired and chill, which is very shocking. Communication is solid. We'll definitely be utilizing her services again.”
“Debbie is our absolute favourite walker! She truly treats our pup like her own and I know he is always in great hands when he is with her! She knows about pet safety and things to look out for and my dog has the best time with her.”
“Ruth has been walking my senior dog for over a month. She is reliable, takes amazing pictures and mixes up the walks. I've fumbled my schedule a few time and she has demonstrated patience and understanding as I've booked and rebooked. Highly recommend her for dog walking.”
About: I've had two labs, a pom, and italian greyhound/min pin mix so I'm experienced walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I have dog sat for many friends and family and would love to help you with yours! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so it's easy for me to pop in and out to care for your furry family members! I'll treat your home like mine and clean up messes that I see. I'll make sure your pet is safe and cared for and communicate any concerns I have immediately.
“I highly recommend Marlon as a dog walker. He was on time every day and my dog got a really good walk. My dog was happy, well cared for and safe. I would definitely book Marlon again”
About: I will care about them like they are the most valuable animals on the world and they will be happy to see me again. I have the feeling that every dog should be treated as part of our family and needs the respect of every human. Indeed, all of them are different and they need different kind of activities. If I would win the lottery I would use part of the money to support homeless dogs around the world and feed them. Being allowed to work with dogs is a dream job and my ability to do sports will help them to increase their chance to become a better healthy dog on the future. I have never received a bad feedback when caring about a dog in my life. I work as a software engineer remotely. I just need WIFI and that’s all, I manage my own time so your friend will be in good hands (: I usually dogsit my friends dogs and make sure they are feeling comfortable and try to understand what they need and communicate with the owners.
“Jorge has been excellent! He has been walking Theo for the past two weeks and has done an incredible job. He is always punctual, and every time Theo is dropped off, he's clean, tired, and happy. I highly recommend Jorge.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10, when my father took home a puppy rottweiler. I live with my family who love pets as well, but we do not have one of our own. We are able to feed and walk dogs. We lived for 8 months with a dog whose mommy went visit her home country. We treat her and love her as our own, just until her mom came back. I am currently a stay-home mother. So, I am always in the neighborhood, which is very convenient to go for a walk at almost any time and take care of your dog. I can not able to care for pets at home, but I am willing to pick your dog for a walk or to pay a visit and provide food and company while you are away.
About: Hi my name is Leah I am 25 years old. I took a few years break from rover however I am looking for some part time work while I’m on summer break as a teacher. I absolutely love both cats and dogs so this is the perfect job for me. I’m also a people person as well, so I cannot wait to meet so many friendly people such as you! I have owned multiple cats in the past and one beautiful dog. I currently have two cats named Mars Bar and Poptart! I know how to do the work everyone loves when looking after pets such as giving them love and attention, but I also know how to do the dirty work such as cleaning up accidents and changing the litter. Would love to help some of you out by taking care of your fur babies when needed :) I am currently on summer break as I am a teacher on call from September to June! My schedule is very flexible and most mornings / afternoons are free. I always try to present myself as a calm presence when meeting new animals. I let them come to me and sniff me out until they show me they are ready for some pets!
“Gunay is a wonderful dog walker. Very responsible and reliable. Highly recommend her. She’s very aware of and attentive with my dogs needs. They love her. Always lets me know how the dogs are doing and of any changes or concerns. I know my dogs will be well taken care of. Gunay has been very helpful. Especially when I’ve had to make changes due to appointments.”
About: I’ve grown up around many different types of animals, (including large & small dogs, cats, birds, etc.) and started actively doing pet care since I became a teenager. I love dogs of all shapes & sizes and have experience with both puppies & seniors! I am currently going to school at JCI in their makeup program, therefore am unfortunately unavailable Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. However, I am absolutely able to do all kinds of pet care on my days off! Always happy to meet a new furry friend :) I am unable to board any animals in my own home out of respect for the ones that already live here, but am more than willing to spend time getting to know pets in their own spaces!
“Phatthawipha has been great with my Hana. She has a lot of stomach issues so needs some extra care and medication from time to time and Phatthawipha has been very helpful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 15 years old. I’d say the caring of animals is my true passion. I am reliable and trustworthy. I have a hybrid work schedule so I can be flexible with my schedule to whichever time and day that works for you. I also do on-boarding as well! I live in a one bedroom apartment with a patio and I will always keep an eye out for your pets. Their safety is my number one priority.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Westminster
Allison is a great communicator. She responded quickly after we made our request and then kept the conversation going until we had worked out a schedule. We had a meet and greet before the first walk where we were able to share typical walking behaviours of our dog. Our dog is a leash puller with a pretty strong prey drive which did not deter Allison. Love that she introduced him to some new walking paths and experiences in our neighborhood. Totally love the report card and the photos after each walk.We will definitely book with Allison on the future.
Joey was wonderful! She was kind, professional, and took excellent care of my pets during her visit. I really appreciated the communication and updates. Knowing my pets were in such good hands made my time away so much less stressful. I would happily book with Joey again!
My dog Beso is very sensitive, anxious, and has a serious medical condition. As a dog mom, finding someone I completely trust isn't easy, but Gracie has been an absolute godsend. I have full confidence that Beso is in the very best hands with her. Gracie is incredibly attuned to Beso's needs and has excellent handling skills. She reinforces the training we're doing at home while making it fun and engaging for Beso. She's always on time, responds quickly to booking requests, sends thoughtful pupdates with lots of photos, and has been flawless with Beso's meals and medications. She's thorough, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely cares. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does, and the dogs love her right back - Beso never wants to leave! Thank you, Gracie, for being the BEST walker and sitter we could ask for. I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep you all to ourselves! 😂 We love you! X
I’m so grateful to Ruth for how well she takes care of my fur baby Ruby. She’s very reliable and communicative and Ruby loved her from the moment they met. She has a very sweet and caring demeanour and you can tell that she has a true love for animals. I really appreciate all the photos of Ruby she sends that give me peace of mind knowing that she is happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter/walker!
Erin is a lifesaver! She came and visited Beans twice today even with our last minute notice which was so appreciated! She did such an amazing rover card for her with details and photo updates! She is very great at handling dogs and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Jessica was lovely! She met my reactive dog a day before the scheduled walk to chat and get the keys to my apartment and I could tell that my little guy was going to be left in good hands. We talked about how she’s in the process of becoming a trainer so I was confident that she knew what she was doing with my small reactive dog. She followed the few instructions I left and provided me with adorable photos and a video of my little nugget. 10/10 recommend her and I’ll definitely be reaching out again for any future dog walking needs! Thank you again 🙏
Tania and Eduardo are so kind and caring that finding them on here felt like hitting the jackpot! Even though Beep (Francine) is a nervous dog with separation anxiety, I knew she was in great hands with them. 💖 Sure enough, she warmed up far faster than she typically does and they sent me multiple photos of her living her best life on her adventure with them. 🐾😊 Their genuine love for animals is apparent immediately and their kind and calming nature isn’t just reserved for fur babies! I was late for an appointment and very frazzled. They completely went the out of their way to help me out and calmed me down in the process. I can’t thank them enough for their wonderful care. They are my #1 choice for Beep’s spare humans.💖
Gloria was great at handling and accommodating to my very nervous rescued dog on his first walk without me. She made sure to bring a collar that tightens up if he tried to run, since I let her know that my dog has tried to run away in the past, and one paw has slipped out of his harness while I was walking him. This extra security measure gave me a lot of peace of mind and shows how Gloria will always put my dog’s safety first. She’s very patient, and we’re both optimistic that with time and exposure, my dog will build a closer bond with her. I’m excited to see how my dog keeps growing his confidence and trust! Thank you Gloria :)
I can’t recommend Aneeka enough as a dog walker! 🐾 she have been absolutely wonderful with our dog Buddy—always reliable, caring, and so attentive. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. You can truly tell she loves what she do, and it shows in the way she connects with my dog. We’re so grateful for all the help and care she provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind for their furry friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in New Westminster on Rover is $23.54 per walk (as of August 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 4,788 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in New Westminster. About 85% of New Westminster 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 New Westminster. 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 New Westminster.
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 New Westminster 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 New Westminster 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 walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
