“Mehri is an animal whisperer. My dog has separation anxiety and would not go without shaking with the 5 previous walkers I’d tried. When Mehri comes to pick him up, she takes the takes the time to pet him, talk to him and allow him to come to her. He really loves her now!! I highly recommend her for all your animals’ care!”
“Ivan and Niamh are lovely and sweet to Arlo. I feel lucky to have found them. I got a great feeling from the moment we met. They are great communicators and offered ways to reassure me that it would be okay, as I am new to Rover and was feeling a little anxious about it all. I will continue to use them for walking Arlo and would certainly use them for boarding too. Arlo is a happy boy when he is out walking with them :)”
“Angela was very accommodating to my booking request and arrived on time. My dog Olive seemed to be comfortable with her right away. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Our first walk with Marina went wonderful, totally hiccup free! She is patient and sweet with my dog and I am happy we have more walks booked in the future as Marina is trustworthy and kind. She is a great communicator and I look forward to seeing her relationship with my nervous pup grow.”
“Lucy is kind, considerate, and understands dogs. Even on the first walk, Jango was comfortable and looked so happy to be out on a stroll and to have some play time around there neighbourhood with her.”
“Katie was amazing - very obvious that she genuinely cares and is very knowledgeable about dogs, she asked lots of great questions to ensure they were a good fit - something I really appreciate (as an anxious dog mom). My anxious pup (who doesn’t like strangers) took to her right away! Won’t hesitate to seek her service and help to take care of my pup in the future!”
“Second walk with this sitter and once again ! My little pupper is out Like a light 🥹 saves me an hour to myself 😅 and she always makes sure to cool your puppy off 😁😅 that's always a concern trusting new people but ! She loves them like her own and I'll definitely be using service again .”
About: In just three hour-long walks, I will easily and playfully teach your pet (both a puppy and an adult dog) basic training commands: sit, lie down and give a paw Now I am studying for a second higher education and therefore have a fairly free schedule and a large amount of free time that I can spend with your pet I will very clearly follow all instructions and instructions regarding your pet and always monitor his safety and good mood no matter where we end up with him.
“Pham was amazing! While we were on vacation she came and took our dogs for daily walks. She took photos and sent them to us. She communicated extremely well with us. We felt really safe leaving our dogs in her care.”
“I arranged for Selena to walk Roxy last minute after my dog sitter fell through (her review from her dad had me sold!). I was nervous as Roxy can be timid going with new people. My daughter was home and was able to facilitate the meet and greet. She said Roxy was happy to meet Selena and was eager to go on their walk. From the looks of the pictures they had a great hour long walk! I’d call Selena again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, along with time spent as a former SPCA volunteer. Through my volunteer work, I assisted with daily care, feeding, cleaning, enrichment, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in a shelter environment. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles and fish, including maintaining proper habitats, feeding schedules, and monitoring health and behavior. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure every pet receives the care they’re used to. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, so I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I structure my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and drop-ins, making sure each pet’s normal routine is maintained. I’m flexible with scheduling and always communicate clearly so owners know their pets are being well cared for. - Safety, routine, and gentle handling are top priorities - Calm, clean, and secure environment - Former SPCA volunteer with shelter-care experience - Respectful of pets’ boundaries and owners’ homes - Regular updates and clear communication
About: Welcome! We are a warm, dedicated Mexican Canadian pet sitting duo with a deep love for dogs and cats. We have both been passionate pet owners our entire lives. Growing up, my wife always had dogs and cats by her side. On my end, I have loved and cared for a yellow lab, a blue nose pitbull, and two outdoor cats. Our hands on experience goes far beyond typical pet sitting. We spent a full month volunteering at an animal shelter in Peru caring for forty two dogs at once. This fast paced environment taught us how to handle diverse temperaments, manage pack dynamics, and maintain safety in busy settings. Long before joining Rover, we were also the trusted go to pet sitters for our friends and family. We have extensive experience with multi dog households, including house sitting for active packs of three dogs at once. Additionally, I have spent 5 years as a dedicated volunteer working specifically with senior dogs. This background means we are highly skilled in managing different pack personalities, sticking to precise routines, and providing the gentle, specialized care that elderly sweethearts deserve. Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, safe, and experienced home! Our WFH Availability: We both work from home full time! This means your dog will enjoy constant supervision, companionship, and love throughout the entire day. We are rarely away, making our schedule highly flexible to accommodate frequent potty breaks, midday play, or senior pups who need extra attention. Here is how our day looks: - Morning: A brisk neighborhood walk before we start work, followed by breakfast and morning cuddles. - Workday: We work right alongside your pup. They can nap in our home office or enjoy frequent potty and stretch breaks in between our meetings. - Afternoon: A mid day playtime session or walk to break up the day and burn some energy. - Evening: Dinner time, long walks, and relaxing on the couch together as a family. Because there are two of us working from home, we have total flexibility to accommodate strict feeding schedules, medication times, or senior dogs who need to go outside more often. In Our Home: We live in a spacious three level townhouse with multiple rooms. This layout gives us plenty of space to set up a crate or a pet fence if your dog needs a secure boundary. Because we have lots of stairs, we closely monitor all pet movement between floors. Thanks to our senior dog experience, we are highly alert to mobility needs and will happily carry or assist dogs who struggle with stairs. Our balcony is strictly supervised at all times. While we do not have a private backyard, our close proximity to the local creek offers the perfect outdoor escape! In Your Home: We treat your home with total respect. Having house sat for packs of three dogs before, we are experts at following your exact routines, keeping doors locked, and ensuring your pets stay safe in their own space. Our Safety Standards: - Constant Supervision: Since we both work from home, pets are rarely left alone. - Double the Eyes: Two sitters mean your dog is always accounted for. - Stair Safety: We ensure active pups use stairs safely and sweet seniors get the extra help they need.

I always keep a close eye on interactions between dogs to ensure everyone feels comfortable and happy. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routines and respect their space, keeping everything just as the owner prefers.

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at ease — and every owner feel completely reassured.
“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.”
“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!”
“Pamela was amazing with our dog Moose! She kept me informed of how things were going which really helped in relieving my nerves as this was the first time Moose would be going out with someone new; he had a great time and was exhausted after the long walk/play! Looking forward to to the next time!”
“Eryn was so kind and patient with Rubi! She took him on walk full of play with a ball, sniffing and running around. I hope she will find time to walk Rubi more often as Rubi liked her so much!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in North Vancouver is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Vancouver
Amy cared for our dogs for a week while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly conscientious, thoughtful, and attentive, checking in regularly to make sure they were receiving exactly the level of care we would have wanted. Whenever she had a question or any concern, she reached out right away so we could find the best solution together. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs who were clearly showered with love, attention, and excellent care. One of our dogs is very protective of our home and naturally wary of strangers, but Amy handled that challenge with remarkable calm, confidence, and patience. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Amy to anyone looking for exceptional care for their fur babies. Knowing they were in her hands allowed us to truly relax while we were away, and that's one of the greatest gifts a pet sitter can give.
Katie was amazing - very obvious that she genuinely cares and is very knowledgeable about dogs, she asked lots of great questions to ensure they were a good fit - something I really appreciate (as an anxious dog mom). My anxious pup (who doesn’t like strangers) took to her right away! Won’t hesitate to seek her service and help to take care of my pup in the future!
Karli took great care of our dog Hansel and cat Mabel. She arrived on time and sent us a detailed update of their visit, and she took lots of great photos! We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. We’d definitely hire Karli again and recommend her highly to others! Thanks Karli!!!
I couldn't be happier with my dog walker, Lana. She is incredibly punctual, friendly, and truly knows what she is doing. I feel completely at ease knowing she is working with my young pup, Samwise. She is not only trustworthy and kind, but she is also fantastic with him. I feel confident knowing he is in such capable hands of a very responsible and caring person.
Farbod was fantastic! He was very kind, communicative, and responded quickly. Even though this was a last-minute booking, he was very flexible, which was a huge help. He took great care of our energetic Golden Retriever, Floki, during his walk. We’d definitely book with him again!
Robin has been wonderful with our mini golden retriever, Ernie. She’s friendly, flexible, and very responsive, which has made everything so easy. We really appreciate the detailed updates she shares on Ernie’s Rover card after each walk. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays attention to how he’s doing. Best of all, Ernie absolutely adores her. He gets so excited when he sees her, and it gives us so much confidence knowing he’s in such good hands. We highly recommend Robin!

The average cost for Dog Walking in North Vancouver on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,818 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in North Vancouver. About 84% of North Vancouver 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 Vancouver. 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 Vancouver.

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 Vancouver 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 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!
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
- 89% 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.
