“Deborah was fantastic with our pug Harry. She walked him everyday for 2 weeks while we couldn’t be home during the day. She sent lovely updates, and photos she was very reliable and warm with our little guy. She clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend”
“Ashlyn had great communication with us while we were away, and even sent pictures. It was so nice to not worry about the dogs. Ashlyn truly loves dogs. We are so happy we met her through Rover. Thank you, Linda”

About: Hi there! 🐶 If your pet deserves plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a few extra belly rubs, you’ve come to the right place! I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved; whether that means long walks, outdoor adventures, playing with their favourite toys, or simply curling up for some company and cuddles. Over the years, I have been a proud pet parent to many, including cats, a black lab, corgi, toy chihuahua, yorkie, an american bulldog/english pointer foster fail and a doberman! So I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, energy levels, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your four-legged family member, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they get plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention while you’re away. And of course, you can expect updates and photos so you never have to wonder what your furry bestie is up to!

My home is a calm, cozy space where pets can feel right at home! 🐾 I have two fenced outdoor spaces for them to explore, and there are nearby parks and trails for fresh air, walks, and exploring. When it’s time to wind down, there’s a big comfy couch, beside a warm fireplace and a king-sized bed for the ultimate cozy snooze. There are also crates, dog beds and blankies available for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and spoiled with love while they’re here. Basically, a little home away from home with all the comforts and cuddles. ❤️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summerland
I couldn’t be happier with the care Sydney provided for Leo. It’s not always easy finding someone who is comfortable and patient with a senior, 65lb Plott Hound, but Sydney was fantastic with him. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Leo returned from his walks happy and well-exercised, and I really appreciated the updates she provided along the way. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Summerland is $33 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $46 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 426 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Summerland. About 86% of Summerland 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 Summerland. 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 Summerland 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 Summerland 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 Summerland 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!
