“Robin is amazing! Robin is so kind and patient with my grumpy older gal and totally respects her pace. She is good at encouraging her to go for her walks even when the weather is bad, and is always happy to give her extra snuggles to sweeten the deal. So thankful we started booking walks with Robin, and we will continue to do so!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“Karen is reliable, professional, and supportive. Her communication is always prompt. Our pup is always thrilled to see her and we know he enjoys his adventures with her. We are so thankful for Karen!”
“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.”
“Alex is a very nice person. Always punctual. Our dog took an immediate liking to him. He is taking our dog Bandit for long walks and provides photo updates. Bandit comes back happy and sleeps all afternoon. I definitely recommend Alex’s dog walking services!”
“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!”
“Incredibly patient and very good at ensuring my puppy didn't terrorize the entire walk! Xinhong provided photos and contextual updates during and after the walk, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much, it helped me a ton this week! I would strongly recommend :)”
About: Every dog is different, and that’s what I love about caring for them. I’ve cared for energetic pups, seniors, anxious dogs, picky eaters, and dogs needing medication. I get to know their routine and little quirks and adjust my care around them, whether they need long walks, playtime, lots of cuddles, or occasionally a home-cooked meal. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. When I’m caring for a dog, I plan my day around their usual schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and of course plenty of attention and cuddles. My sister and I are both involved, so they have lots of company throughout their stay. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with my sister, and I only board one client’s dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of individual attention. I follow their normal routine and house rules as closely as possible and always keep them supervised, comfortable, and safe. They’re welcome on the furniture and bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. ❤️
“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!”
About: I’ve been around animals for years I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your dog while you’re away. I’d love to help make life a little easier for dog parents and make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for! I can do short/long walks and small hikes if your dog likes. I’m currently off of work, which gives me lots of availability and flexibility to help with walks, jogs, check-ins, and plenty of attention and affection. I would come to your home and walk your dog in the surrounding areas! I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow your instructions, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable.
“Ayla was wonderful! She was punctual and even arrived early to meet me, despite me running a bit late. She was very attentive and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she knew exactly what my puppy needed. She was kind, accommodating, understanding, professional and so sweet. My little guy was very calm with her. He slept peacefully in the backpack I provided, and when I arrived, he was curled up asleep on Ayla's lap in their car. She's also a certified dog trainer, which gave me extra peace of mind. I will definitely book her again! Thank you, Ayla! You and your husband are truly awesome dog people, and we're so glad we found you🙏🫶🐶”
About: I’ve regularly dog and house sat for a close friend when they’ve been away, caring for both their dog and cat. I’ve stayed overnight, handled feeding and walks, kept them company, and made sure they stayed on their normal routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and am available for evening walks, weekend care, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I’m comfortable caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I’m respectful of people’s spaces and will follow any instructions and routines provided. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Alexandra worked with me to take my Samdog for a walk on a day when I had to make a last minute dash into the office. Since my dog is still relatively young, Alex was ready to go above and beyond to keep my pup company the entire time I was gone, even though it was such short notice! Those two seemed to have a fun time on their walk and it was a relief that I came home to a happy dog and a house that hadn't been torn apart. I will keep Alexandra at the top of my list of people to take Sam in the future!”

Marina is wonderful! She has been walking my dog for months and is amazing. She is so sweet and kind with my anxious senior. She loves to give her special snacks (with my permission) and lots of love. She is also very accommodating when my schedule changes. Thank you Marina for all you do!
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!

FAQs for Dog Walking - North Vancouver
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in North Vancouver is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,815 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in North Vancouver. About 83% 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in North Vancouver after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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!
