“Coco was very accommodating with my last minute request. She was very friendly and met me on time at my door and immediately Benji took off with her. It seems like they had a great hour long walk. I would book Coco again without hesitation.”

“Sarah has been so amazing with her 3 weekly walks with our pup Bennie. She sends updates and has even incorporated our training into her walks with him. He’s 7 months old and a bundle of energy so he can be a lot! Thanks for everything Sarah :)”

“Sukie and Will are polite friendly and on time walking our dog, they also helped tackle bad habits of our dog. We are very pleased with their service, highly recommend.”

About: I have over 7 years of experience raising my toy Maltese, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle care, and a consistent routine. My home in North Vancouver offers a large, private, and fully fenced backyard—the perfect safe space for active play. As I begin my journey on Rover, I am currently focusing on hosting healthy, well-socialized adult dogs (ages 1–8). This allows me to dedicate my full attention to their well-being and ensure they have a balanced, stress-free stay. I am very comfortable with the specific needs of small and medium breeds and love providing a cage-free, 'home away from home' experience where your pet is truly treated like family. [Special Offer: Complimentary 3-Hour Trial Session for New Clients] My schedule is incredibly flexible, and I treat every furry guest like my own family. Living in the serene Upper Delbrook area near Grouse Mountain, I prioritize one-on-one attention. Since I work from home, your dog will never be left alone and will enjoy a seamless routine in a peaceful, quiet environment. I provide a cage-free, stress-free 'home away from home' experience. Your dog is more than welcome to lounge on the sofa and snuggle with me. The highlight of my home is a massive, private, and fully fenced backyard (10,000+ sq ft) where your pup can run freely and safely. I offer 100% supervision, ensuring your pet is never overwhelmed by other dogs or children, as I have none of my own.
“Mandy and Jacky are top notch dog walkers and sitters my dog is very comfortable with their whole family and walks with either Jacky or Mandy cannot recommend them anymore. 10 stars”

About: I can walk dogs big and small, always with your dog’s safety and well-being in mind when we’re outside. I can run with your dog to shake off that extra energy (theirs and mine 😆) Great at meal preps and saying “Good boy / girl!” I’m available during weekdays 9am-5pm for dog walking, and meal prep. I can’t do dog boarding right now coz the condo I’m currently living in doesn’t allow keeping dogs. Your dog will always be on leash outside to keep them safe. I’ll make sure your dog is hydrated, all settled down (and well-fed, if meal prep is needed) when back at home before I leave.

“Vicky is very friendly and pays attentions to details. She took notes and pictures on how to take care of Bowie! You can tell she has big love for dogs even when meeting other dogs on the walk. 🐶”

“Catherine is great! She sends multiple photos every time she walks my Italian greyhound, Stella. Catherine is very communicative and sends lots of updates. She has been accommodating with our schedule and last minute changes, which we really appreciate when life gets crazy. Totally recommend her!”

About: Hey there! My name is Alex. I do many different things for work, all of which bring me joy on some level. I work in various restaurant and bar related jobs. I am also studying part time, working towards a nursing degree. I have an active outdoor lifestyle and love to share my time outside with dogs that need exercise. I also like to take dogs for walks- I am flexible and will adapt to the needs of the animal. I have had dogs on and off throughout my life. Although my current living situation does not allow me to have dogs of my own, I jump at opportunities to take care of other people's dogs. I currently have a cat and can similarly offer my services to take care of cats with more complex medical conditions, having plenty of experience administering insulin and respiratory medications. My cat has diabetes and asthma, and I've succeeded in managing both. I am currently working part time, so I am very adaptable with regards to your pets and their respective routines. I have an active lifestyle and a nurturing personality, so I get alot out of taking care of animals, especially those with special needs. I will provide services preferably in other homes only. However, small dogs (less than 25) pounds can be hosted in my comfy apartment. I have a cat that is well socialized with other animals, having been raised in a dog home and previously living with two other cats. I have never seen him hiss or swat another animal.
“Tova was amazing, took lots of photos and looked out for Murphy knowing that he was overheating on a hot day took him inside which I really appreciated. She left notes and was very caring. Highly recommend”

“Ryan did a great job bonding with our dog, Archie, and took him for a long walk in our neighbourhood. He’s keen, engaging and interested in doing a great job. I highly recommend him.”

Hans came to walks my large pup and she loved his energy. We did a meet n greet first and she was so happy. He topped up her food and water and gave her some love and exercise when I was available. I would definitely book with Hans. A very nice responsible person.
I have a 160lb mountain dog that needed to be walked as I healed from my surgery, finding someone who I could trust was scary but Shawn was great with my dog. I got the reassurance I needed that he was well taken care of. He is punctual and always had a smile on his face. He is someone who I can definitely see myself contacting in the future when I need help. If you are looking for a great reliable dog dad, you found him, he will not disappoint.

Brendan and Brooke have walked Django three times in the last two weeks and right from day one Django has loved them and so have they! It was just instant energy as if Django knew them from before and he was all over them. They are a lovely couple and they did an absolutely fine job of walking Django even in heavy rains and also playing fetch with him. Both are very energetic, and genuinely loved him. I appreciate how Brooke gives him a good wipe with his towel on rainy days before he comes inside. I am very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone for animal care.
