About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, giving me a genuine love and understanding of animals from an early age. My family bred Labrador Retrievers for more than 10 years, providing me with hands-on experience in caring for dogs at every stage of their lives. From raising and caring for puppies to feeding, walking, playing, and attending dog shows, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for the care, attention, and companionship dogs need to thrive. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, caring, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. I’m available 7 days a week, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering flexible dog walking and drop-in visits to fit your schedule. Whether your pup needs a refreshing walk, a little extra exercise, or some companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Drop-in visits can include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for your pup to safely play, explore, and get some extra exercise. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs, including crate time when requested and medication administration as needed. When we head out for field-trip walks or adventures, my vehicle is equipped with protective seat covers and secure doggy seatbelts to help keep your pup safe and comfortable while travelling. Whether your dog is enjoying some playtime in the yard, heading out for a walk, or simply relaxing in my care, I provide attentive, responsible, and loving supervision every step of the way.

About: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. For services at your home, I strictly follow your pet's regular routine, ensure your property is completely secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

About: I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter offering a safe, loving environment for your dog. After recently losing my own dog, I’m committed to giving other dogs the same kindness, patience, and attention I gave my own. I have years of pet sitting experience and a secure dog run for safe outdoor play. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, routines, and comfort, ensuring they feel at home while you’re away. Reliable, compassionate, and dedicated. I value treating every dog like family! I have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and run my own business. I love outdoor activity and spending time in my garden. Having a furry friend join me would make my long days feel a little brighter. I treat every dog I care for as if it was my own. Their feeling of love and safety is my upmost priority. Giving them the space to feel comfortable and protected has made me the go-to person for friends and family needing pet sitting services. I try to provide a "home away from home" to their four legged family members. Knowing my clients feel assured their loved one is in good hands brings me the deepest amount of fulfillment.

About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for about 3 years now, and I also worked at Pet Valu for 2 years, which taught me a lot about dog nutrition, health, and behaviour. I got really comfortable understanding different temperaments, keeping playtime safe, and knowing what different dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds! puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, and the more shy or anxious ones too. I make sure every dog gets attention, affection, and a routine they’re comfortable with. I like to keep things fun, calm, and stress free, and I always treat pets like my own while they’re with me. I offer daily updates (with cute photos), exercise and enrichment, walks, feeding, cuddles, and just making sure your dog feels loved and secure while you’re away! I currently work part-time, which means I have lots of extra time and flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, enrichment, and just spending time with your dog so they feel safe and loved! Whether your pet needs extra attention, playtime, or calm companionship I’m able to fit it into my routine easily! I provide attentive, loving care for pets in their own home, keeping their routines and environment consistent. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have access to fresh water, and get the attention, playtime, and exercise they need. I maintain a safe environment by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring for any hazards, and following all specific instructions from the owner. I also keep the home clean and comfortable, and provide updates to owners so they can have peace of mind while away.

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.

I've had dogs and cats throughout my life and if you choose me to watch your babies, they will be well taken care of! I work from home so my schedule is flexible! I love long walks and can throw a ball for hours! If I am boarding your pet, I do have a 1 year old tuxedo cat in the home. He is incredible. He loves dogs and cats and has been the best foster dad in the past! I look forward to hearing about your fur babies! I work Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm. I would walk your pets or come to your home to check on/feed them before work and after work if I were attending to them at your home. If they’re at my home, I have the flexibility to play with them at any point in the day & take them out In my home, your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free of hazards, with cozy resting spots, secure outdoor access (if needed), and plenty of stimulation to keep them happy and relaxed.

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 September 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 820 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in North Saanich. About 85% 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
  • 93% 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.
