“Robin is outstanding with our two dogs with great updates and looks out for them. Our dogs are 10 years apart in age and Robin understands their dynamic and how the younger dog needs to play and sometimes the older guy needs to rest. We are very pleased with Robin!”
“Mehri (the dog walker) has been a Godsend! I sometimes need to change the booking if either my dog (Okey-Dokey) or I am sick. We both have chronic illnesses that can change on a time so even 24 hours notice is not always adequate. For this walk in particular I (Jasmine ) changed the time at the last minute as both my dog and I were suddenly sick. Mehri was kind and gracious enough to still walk him despite my staying in bed sick. My dog was sick and I had given him meds before his walk but it took effect when they’d returned. Mehri was so concerned she stayed at my home with him after the walk to ensure that he was well. She only left when she realized that he just wanted to sleep the meds off but was otherwise ok. How wonderful to know we can have this kind of dedication!”
“Seyed and Shabnam were both lovely and got on very well with Tyson. I highly recommend their services as my boy can sometimes be a bit of a handful. Very experienced with all dogs.”
“Had a great time with Angela. Our rescued girl was still too shy/afraid to greet strangers but she likes and trusts Angela after a 20 minutes meet up, and I believe my girl made the right decision. It was a great help during my busy time, thank you very much.”
“Thank you Christine for the last minute request and for your patience with an overly eager and excited retriever! When you brought Remy back she was like a different dog...so well behaved! I will certainly reach put again. Thank you!”
“I had a great experience. Rocco felt comfortable with him right away, and they built a great connection from the very first session. He went above and beyond, and I finally feel like I’ve found someone I can truly trust with my baby boy. Highly recommended.”
“Ayla is a super sweet and considerate person. She is very patient with my senior dog. She will turn on my air conditioner for me on these past crazy hot days. You will feel comfortable in knowing how trustworthy she is.”
“Ericka is awesome! She is super friendly, and asked to come meet my dog ahead of time so they were both familiar with eachother. She exhausts my border collie/poodle up in the forest and he always seems pooped and super happy after. Highly recommend her!!!!”
“Lily is very professional and reliable and came to walk our Aussie at a very short notice. When our dog was showing reactive behavior, Lily handled the situation with grace and connected with us straight away. Thank you so much for giving this your best!”
“The highlight of Gingers day is going for a walk with Lonny. So reliable and kind, we feel so fortunate to have found Lonny and have his help walking Ginger each week.”
“Taenelle is a great communicator and provided excellent information about her time with Millie. She followed instructions to a ‘T’ and Millie seemed very happy when I got home!”
“Breanna was able to help me out last minute when I was home sick and juni needed a walk. Appreciated her patience and encouragement with juniper as she was hesitant to head out with a stranger.”
About: I've gotten to love and care for dogs and animals my entire life. I simply couldn't imagine life without our little fur babies. Whenever I go to someone’s house and there's a dog, we instantly become best friends. I'll be sure to take extra time to learn how to care for each and every pet I come across. Dilligence, love, and kindness towards all animals is my specialty. I'm not afraid to ask questions about your animal or cater to any of their special needs or requirements! As a side note, I have some experience in training dogs with my dad when I was a teenager. On a personal note, I only just recently moved to Vancouver and am not financially able to commit to a pet on my own right now, and this is the perfect opportunity to fill that missing part of my heart. 🥺♥️ I'm looking forward to working with you and your pet! Im currently unemployed so i will be available at any time! Nights, Weekdays and Weekends etc. I require minimal notice! Looking forward to meeting your pets:D I have 2 little dogs(Moose and Scooby) back at home in kelowna and i would take them for walks every day so i have no problem taking your pets whenever! I also have tons of experience watching animals while either friends/family go away
“Eva is so great and amazing. Always with a deep smile on her face, so on time, saved me when my ankle was twisted and I couldn’t take my dog for walks so she stepped in and took care of them. So kind our puppy who was never walked with a non family member loved her and going put with her. Tail was wagged the moment he saw her and came back tired and exercised. Recommended 100%”
“It was so great having Marina walk (actually trail run) our dog 5 days straight. We have a high energy dog and these long runs wiped him out for the day until we got home from work. Our dog warmed up to her, listened off leash. I highly recommend Marina!”
About: Hey there! I’ve grown up in the Vancouver area and always love getting outside. Animals have surrounded me since I was little and I wouldn’t have it any other way! From chickens to horses... I love them all. I have several years experience working with dogs in many different settings. I currently work full time but am able to set my own schedule, therefore I can be flexible to your schedule (and the pups). I absolutely love animals and treat anyone’s beloved friend as if they were my own. I am happy to walk, run or sit... depending on your pooch!! Any special instructions (likes to be called boo boo, extra belly rubs, treats or scratches behind the ear scratch be accommodated) I look forward to meeting you, and your best friend!
About: I've grown up with dogs since I born, mainly German shepherds, and understand how much they mean to us doggie owners. I have one dog currently and have helped care for my friends' dogs for over five years. I offer drop in visits and daily walks (can do these individually or alongside my dog, whatever you prefer) and am comfortable administering daily medications. Message me with any questions you have :) I currently work from home with flexible hours so can accommodate most times throughout the day. Can walk your dog independently or alongside my dog, whatever suits your needs best. I currently only offer drop in visits and walking from your home, however I can accommodate whatever specific requirements your pup needs. I understand the importance of keeping things as routine as possible for them when you are not around.
About: I have been a trusted dog sitter and walker for the past 5 years! Friends, family, and co-workers have reached out to me to take care of their furry family members. I have been dog sitting a beautiful bernadoodle for the past 4 years consistently in my home and have loved every minute! I love every and all dogs and it brings me so much joy to be able to take care of, snuggle, and love your pet! I am currently a student completing my masters degree. For work, I am a group fitness instructor that strives for movement and activity in my daily life! I am blessed to live beside the beautiful trails in north Vancouver and embrace nature by hiking and running! I live in a basement suite that doesn’t have much of a yard, however, i have access to tons of trails and parks just a 2 minute walk away from my house to ensure that your furry friend gets tons of time outside! I am comfortable crating your dog if that’s the method you prefer for sleeping.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Vancouver
Marcus is great! Our dog seconds that. He has such a good vibe about him and is so naturally easygoing with the dog, that I think even reactive or nervous dogs would do well with him. He is polite and respectful and a good communicator. We'll definitely book with him again.
Pham (Jolie) is an amazing person and was very loving and helpful when walking my golden retriever puppy (7 months old), ROO. She is very attentive and on time and I Love that she has fun while walking and still tries to help me train her not to jump on anyone. :) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her - she is a gem and very trustworthy.
Marcelo and Natalia were fantastic with Bodhi! They covered lots of ground on their walk, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Both were responsible, attentive, and genuinely great with him. It was a completely worry-free experience, and Bodhi came home happy and well exercised. Would absolutely recommend them and look forward to booking with them again!
Cindy was able to help me out with a last minute scheduling and I really appreciated her flexibility and communication during that time. She has quickly become one of my routine dog walkers, and my cat seems to love her too which makes me happy to see when she sends pictures of him cuddling with her.
Keilana goes above and beyond on a daily basis! No matter how tired Ace is beforehand, he goes absolutely crazy whenever he sees her, knowing he’s about to have a fun adventure. Her dog photos are simply unmatched, aesthetic and scenic and Ace is always proudly posing with a huge smile. He comes home absolutely exhausted from his walks with Keilana - highly recommend!

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 .
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 Vancouver 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!
