About: With 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, I’m passionate about providing loving and dependable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m certified in pet first aid and comfortable handling special needs, medications, and different personalities. From walks and playtime to feeding and crate training, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for, whether in my home or yours. You can trust me to treat your furry family like my own! Pet care is a structured and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize timely feedings, regular walks for dogs, clean litter maintenance for cats, and daily check-ins to ensure each pet is healthy, engaged, and comfortable. Whether caring for active dogs or independent cats, I follow each pet’s routine closely to maintain a sense of stability and trust in their environment. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, walks, litter care, and playtime to help pets feel secure and comfortable. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including those with special needs, medication requirements, and specific behavioral routines. I respect crate-training preferences, provide plenty of enrichment, and am comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. In a client’s home, I ensure their space is kept clean and routines are followed exactly. In my home, pets enjoy a quiet, supervised environment designed for safety and comfort.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and owner. My current household includes a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog puppy and a sweet, fixed senior female Golden Retriever. Both are very social and always eager to meet new furry friends! I’m available at home throughout the day to provide dedicated care for your dog. Whether we’re exploring local beaches and trails or enjoying supervised playtime and potty breaks in the yard, your pet will have my full attention. My home is set on a quiet, fully fenced acre, offering plenty of secure space to roam. We’re perfectly situated for adventure, with local beaches just a ten-minute walk away and hiking trails right around the corner.

About: Originally from California, I spent 4 years consistently volunteering at the Animal Rescue Foundation (an organization that saves dogs and cats from inhumane public shelters). My responsibilities began with basic shelter essential chores, and as the months progressed I undertook training to specialize in Dog Care. I helped rescues become comfortable with human interaction by reading books to them. I learned how to monitor their body language, making adjustments to my approach so that the dogs feel more relaxed during their temporary time at the shelter. To be appointed this position I underwent a series of training, as well as written and hands-on examinations. In the summer of 2021, I was hired as a professional dog walker — taking up to 8 dogs at a time! Through this role, I learned crucial skills of safe dog walking. I have over five years of experience on Rover as well, and have built trusting relationships with my pup clients and their owners. I have an incredibly strong fondness for animals, and treat each one as my own. While I am unable to care for dogs at my own residence, I am available to come to you! I do dog walks, house drop-ins, and house sitting. It would be an honor to become a friend and caretaker to your beloved pet! Safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a 1 year old miniature dachshund named Baguette, who loves other dogs and is very friendly. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m a quick responder. Schedule: I work remotely and have a flexible schedule at the moment, especially for house sitting where I can just work remotely with your pup and give them love all day! House Drop-Ins: During my house drop-ins, a list of food portions and any important info is greatly appreciated. For dogs that require medication, detailed instructions and dosage are necessary to ensure safety. It’s also great to know your dog’s favorite toys or exercise activities! In the past I have done house drop-ins for senior dogs who can’t necessarily handle a regular walk, and prefer a play in the yard or a stroll around the block.

About: Hey cute dogs and responsible dog owners! I am a german dog trainer and I miss working with dogs so much! Since I am here in Canada, I work part-time from home and unfortunately I am not allowed to have an own dog, where I live. For the past 8 years I worked with more than 45 dogs and I fostered more than 30 dogs in my own home in Germany (mostly rescues). I used to worked with three german animal protection associations as well. My specialties are: - leash pulling issues - creating a better bond and relationship between dog and owner - behavior in general - issues at home I can´t wait to meet you and your dog! I work part-time in my own business at home, so I am able to organize my own times, when I work. But ideal is after 11:30 am. I know, how to read dogs. I work with dogs all my life, even as a kid, I worked with dogs at german dog parks. I was the youngest trainer in my town, who ever worked with dogs. And mostly, I often like dogs better than humans - to be honest. Dogs are just amazing. I will always take care about the safety of the animal, that - for me - is job one. Also I won´t give anything to the pet (treats, toys), that I haven´t talked through with the owner beforehand.

About: My place has been a revolving door of visiting pets of friends and family for the past 6 years. I live with my wife and cocker spaniel, Vincent, and we keep him active with walks play which he loves to have other dogs join I am currently completing a degree in kinesiology at camosun college, which keeps me busy but also has plenty of time at home for pet care. I can easily be available for visits and visitors I like to take my dog out for walks around the property several times a day. There is a nice field far from roads that I allow him off leash to run, play and chase smells. There is a large dog park which is about a 10 minute drive away and a mountain hike that is 5 minutes to walk to (about an hour to complete the hike and get home). We play with his toys inside and Vincent is always happy to play with visitors and other dogs at the park.

About: Hi! I’m Makenna. I’m spending the summer in Brentwood Bay after finishing my first year in the Veterinary Technology program at Thompson Rivers University. I love working with animals and have experience from both a doggy daycare and the veterinary field. I also have my Dog First Aid certification. I have a rescue dog named Renfrew, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love to get to know your dog and provide them with a safe, fun, and loving environment. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Since I'm not working right now, I can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have plenty of time to make sure pets get all the attention, exercise, and care they need. My day usually includes feeding, playtime, and walks with my dog Renfrew. I also set aside time for grooming and any necessary medical care. This way, I can provide consistent and high-quality care for pets every day of the week. I ensure pets are safe by creating a secure environment and providing regular supervision, proper nutrition, and lots of love. My experience working at dog daycares and in the veterinary field has equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to offer exceptional care. I have ample space for regular walks, ensuring that pets get the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy.

About: I have a lifetime worth of experience with dogs/cats as I have always had both in my home. I also have experience with dog/house sitting for multiple days with one or more dogs at a time. This includes daily walks, feeding, and playing. As someone who had a very reactive dog for 10 years, I understand the stress when having someone else look after them. I am here to make sure your animal feels safe and loved! I currently have availability Monday-Friday and weekends upon request. My daily routines consist of CrossFit, hikes/walks, and running. It would be a bonus adding your dog into my schedule. Having had 3 different dogs throughout my life alongside cats takes a lot of responsibility so I am familiar with how to take care of a full house. Whether that includes walking, hiking, or just stopping in to say hi, I am fully confident in caring for your pets.

About: Hello! My name is Isabella and I’m originally from Mexico. I’ve grown up in a home surrounded by dogs, which sparked my lifelong passion for caring for animals. I just graduated from Ecology at Thompson Rivers University and I’m also an active volunteer at local animal shelters. These experiences have deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and well being. I have over 7 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, working with a wide range of breeds—from small, energetic pups to larger, strong dogs like Labradors. My top priority is always the well-being, safety, and happiness of your pet. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure each pet feels loved and secure in my care. I am happy to look after your dog in your home to ensure the health and safety of all animals I look after. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and promise to keep you updated with photos and videos while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I have all weekdays and weekend free. As a recent graduate, I am currently looking for a job so I will be home all day taking care of your furry ones. My previous experience in my Mom's dog sitting company has given me the tools to provide the best possible care of the furry pets. I provide food, fresh water, and any medications needed at appropriate times, following the given schedule to optimise the pet’s wellbeing. I also personalise the care for each pet, taking into consideration their age, health conditions, energy levels, etc. I like to keep them entertained by playing with them and taking them on walks if agreed with you first. My walks always prioritise safety, providing the best experience possible for you and your pets. Letting them take their time while smelling plants and nature is crucial to ensure they enjoy the most. I offer on leash and off leash walks depending on your personal preference.

FAQs for Dog Walking - North Saanich

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in North Saanich on Rover is $29.97 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 .

There are 871 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in North Saanich. About 84% of North Saanich 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 North Saanich. 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 North Saanich.

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 North Saanich 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 North Saanich 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:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
