About: Your pets are in good hands! So far I have 20 years experience caring for cats and 10 years with dogs. I can administer any kind of medication, perform canine CPR and I really enjoy training dogs and cats to do tricks and to behave nicely. I have experience caring for puppies and senior pets as well. Pet care fits into my routine quite easily as it has my whole life. It's something that comes naturally to me. I look forward to it 🐾 I try my best to make it the most comfortable, safe, and fun experience for your pet. Seeing them happy makes me happy. My maternal instincts kick in when needed!
About: I have done drop ins and had friends/family dogs stay with me for the last 2 years and have owned my own (not anymore) dogs on and off for my whole life A pet lover with time to spare. I currently work 5 hours a day during the week and can provide early morning, afternoon and evening visits. I have a large fenced front and back yard. All animals must be well socialized with children if they are staying here, otherwise I can do drop-ins without children.
About: I am an active, caring and responsible retired female who loves animals and the outdoors. I am quiet, a non-smoker, fit and very energetic I have had cats and dogs throughout my life, but since my beloved cat Cleo, who was with me for 15 years, passed away at age 16, I have not been able to replace her. Having recently retired, I have a lot of spare time on my hands and since I like to stay active, I feel that caring for dogs and cats will give me the companionship and exercise that I need. I will look after your pet as if it was my own -- I will feed, walk, play and cuddle with him/her; brush, bathe and continue training practices if you require; and provide medication if needed. I love to walk; so I'm happy to take your dog with me to explore the trails in the area, or stick to walking in town if that is what your dog is used to. If you need a house sitter, I am available to look after both your house and furry friend. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable and loved as it is when you're at home; and I want you to feel comfortable knowing that both are well-cared for while you're away. I am also happy to water any indoor and/or outdoor plants you may have, and do some basic yard work in your absence. I am retired and have plenty of free time to play with and care for your pet. I can usually accommodate bookings on short notice. I have not had the luxury of a fenced yard while I have owned dogs, so I never let them out without staying close by. If not on a leash, I kept a very watchful eye on them (and a few treats in my pocket in case I needed to lure them back!). Being a lover of the outdoors, I enjoyed taking them for frequent walks 2 or 3 times a day no matter what the weather. I have had both indoor and outdoor cats, all of which were great companions. Frequent brushing and application of flea and tick medication kept their coats problem-free; and my last cat lived a long and happy 16 years.
About: Definitely here to go for more walks with a fur friend/ help out where needed. Ready to go whenever, excited to meet new fur friends. I find this just so fun and so helpful to others. I think it will work perfectly my friends all do it as well it works perfectly for me To help care for the pets I would definitely follow any routine the owner already does to make it easier and more efficient for the owner

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Powell River is $38 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $44 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 116 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Powell River. About 82% of Powell River 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 Powell River. 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 Powell River 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 Powell River 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 Powell River 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!
