“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!”
“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.”
“Sonia was Iovely! She was super patient with Boo when he wasn’t stoked on going for a walk. Spent extra time with him so he got out while we were away for the day. Would totally recommend!”
About: I love pets more than people! I would love to hang out with yours!💜 I've had pets my entire life and, as a proud cat mom to two of the best kitties, I know how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I'm the person friends turn to when they need someone trustworthy to look after their pets. I recently took my two cats on an extended road trip, and they did wonderfully—proof of my ability to care for animals in all kinds of situations! I love animals more than people, and I'll treat your pets with the same level of affection and attention as my own. I’m self employed and often work from home. I have lots of time to visit and exercise your pets. I also go for walks/hikes often so I would love to have your pet join me! I have 2 cats that are cool with small, cat friendly dogs. Have a fenced in concrete patio (no grass.) I also live across the street from a park and several walking paths.
About: I have been working with animals for over ten years, including regularly volunteering at local animal rescues, such as VOKRA and the BCSPCA. I can watch cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and everything in between, but my specialty is cats and dogs. I am a high energy person who loves going on runs, and I love taking dogs with me. I often take my friend's and neighbour's dogs on hikes, and it's one of my favourite pastimes. I have been trained in pet care and animal CPR so I am confident in always ensuring your pet is healthy and safe. I work generally from home and I make my own hours, so stepping away to take care of pets is extremely easy for me. I also work in theatre consistently, but these hours are also staggered so my schedule is frequently very open. I have a three storey condo with two kitties living here. Personally I am more than happy to go to my clients home and watch their pets, both during the day and overnight to ensure they are looked after and safe. I live with two cats and my husband so I have plenty of time and ability to travel and stay in other places. I would love to meet you in person to make sure you feel safe with someone new watching your furry friend.
“Very welcoming, friendly with my dog, Maggie loved Xinmiao and would recommend to all others. Looking frwrd to walk my dog again with her soon. Very prompt with responding and was available just at short notice.”
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!
“Emma and partner are just lovely people. Both are very responsive, accommodating, and descriptive in their details on my girls’ rover cards! It has been just AMAZING to have a walker/sitter that is respectful, responsive, and pleasant to interact with AND lives close by. They are both very trustworthy, reliable, and work well with my very spoiled girls. Highly recommend.”
“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”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog receives! Ruth is incredibly caring, sweet, and patient, which was exactly what we were looking for. It’s clear our dog feels the same way, she gets so excited every single time she arrives. We are very happy with her services and will definitely continue booking with her. Highly recommended! We are beyond satisfied with her care and look forward to many more walks in the future!”
“Shawn was outstanding! He gave Taco so much love and attention from the moment they met. Even though Taco was a little shy at first, Shawn was incredibly patient and quickly earned his trust. Before long, Taco felt comfortable enough to go on a walk with him and enjoy his company. It was clear that Shawn genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. His calm, kind approach made all the difference, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing Taco was in such good hands. We highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter or walker. We would definitely book with him again!”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep understanding of the care, responsibility, and patience required to look after a wide variety of animals. Throughout my childhood, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, giving me hands-on experience with their unique personalities, needs, and behaviours. Today, I continue that lifelong commitment as the owner of a five-year-old medium-sized dog. My lifelong experience has given me a genuine appreciation for animal welfare, strong observational skills, and the ability to build trust with pets of different temperaments. This personal connection allows me to provide compassionate, attentive care while understanding that every animal deserves to be treated with patience, respect, and kindness. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I'm currently taking some time off work and have a very open schedule. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether you're looking for short-term care, long-term care, or flexible scheduling, I'm happy to provide reliable, attentive care that works around your pet's routine. I provide care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their regular routine. I carefully follow all instructions you leave regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, patience, and companionship while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands.
“Amanda is truly amazing! She goes above and beyond. Very trustworthy. We will definitely recommend her to our colleagues and will for sure get her once again the next time.”
“Roca was very tired after her walk today with Justine. Thank you for sending the video and photos, she looked so happy. I will definitely be using Justine again soon.”
“Thank you Blake and Carly again for walking Mali this weekend. It’s so great to know that I have people I can trust to take care of her when we are unable to.”
About: Cats🐱 Cats quickly become my little VIPs! I’ve been a loving and dedicated cat owner for over 6 years, so I understand how important it is to provide cats with consistent, attentive, and personalized care. I have experience caring for my own cat through different situations, including giving medication when she was sick, monitoring her condition closely, and making sure she always felt safe and comfortable. I also regularly care for my friends’ cats when they travel or are away. I enjoy learning about each cat’s unique personality, habits, and needs, and I’m always interested in learning more about cat behavior and proper care. I’m experienced with feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, cuddles, and maintaining their usual routines. Most importantly, I treat every cat as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while their owners are away. Dogs🐶 I’ve been around and cared for dogs since I was young. They have always been my family’s dogs rather than my own, but I’ve been actively involved in their everyday care for many years. I’ve helped with feeding, providing fresh water, taking them on walks, and spending time with them. I’ve also had experience caring for dogs when they were sick. I’ve given them medication and applied eye ointment when needed, always following the instructions carefully and paying close attention to their condition and behavior. I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know each dog and make them feel comfortable and safe. I genuinely enjoy learning how dogs communicate and often study their body language, behaviors, and different ways of expressing their needs. I believe understanding a dog’s “language” is an important part of providing good care. I want every dog to feel safe, understood, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule and can work from anywhere. I also have my own car, which makes it easy for me to travel to your home and provide care whenever needed. I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I can be flexible with different schedules and care needs. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, I’m happy to come to your home and give them the attention and care they need. I can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I keep their environment clean, secure, and free from potential hazards, while following their usual routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home. I make sure doors and windows are securely closed, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create a calm, familiar environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

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 :)

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.
