“Had a great experience with Sadie, she has a great attitude, very punctual, and sent pictures and updates everyday. Kira warmed up to her very quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Our pup Rosie loves having Jungho come to visit when we’re away for long shifts at work. He always shows up on time and gives us the best pictures of her after her walks!”
“Jose did a great job walking my 80-pound pit bull, Frederick. Frederick is a strong dog, so I really appreciate someone who is confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. He took him on a 30-minute walk, and Frederick came back very happy and comfortable with him. I would definitely trust Jose again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker/sitter :) we will be booking future walks with him!”

About: I have had a dog growing up for 13 years. I also dog sit for my cousins each summer and they have 3 rescues. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, grooming, medications etc. I work a split shift so I have a chunk of time off in the mornings/ afternoons to walk dogs during my breaks throughout the week and I work only in the mornings on weekends so am available in the afternoon. I have 2 cats in my apartment and they mostly sleep but have a lot of toys, eat 3x a day and have a cleaned litter box every day. They like to sit outside on my balcony with me in the sun. But are never left unattended outside.
“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.”
“Junyan got along with my dog very well, and she cared for him so patiently. My dog took her to his favourite pet store and asked her to buy a toy for him. That was so funny 🤣.”
“Ugurcan is an amazing person and so professional with Ava , he care and love her and always on time and she’s always so happy to him every time, I really recommend to use his service🙏🏻 thank you”
“Renee is a responsible and attentive dog walker. She takes good care of the dogs and ensures they are safe during walks. I appreciate her careful approach and her ability to manage the dogs well. She is a reliable choice for anyone looking for a dependable dog walker.”
“Breanna was able to help me out last minute when I was home sick and juni needed a walk. Appreciated her patience and encouragement with juniper as she was hesitant to head out with a stranger.”
“Danica has been wonderful with Macchiato! She walked him, stayed to play, and kept him company while we were at work. He’s been happy and relaxed in her care, and we really appreciate the updates. We feel confident knowing he’s in good hands!”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep understanding of the care, responsibility, and patience required to look after a wide variety of animals. Throughout my childhood, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, giving me hands-on experience with their unique personalities, needs, and behaviours. Today, I continue that lifelong commitment as the owner of a five-year-old medium-sized dog. My lifelong experience has given me a genuine appreciation for animal welfare, strong observational skills, and the ability to build trust with pets of different temperaments. This personal connection allows me to provide compassionate, attentive care while understanding that every animal deserves to be treated with patience, respect, and kindness. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I'm currently taking some time off work and have a very open schedule. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether you're looking for short-term care, long-term care, or flexible scheduling, I'm happy to provide reliable, attentive care that works around your pet's routine. I provide care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their regular routine. I carefully follow all instructions you leave regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, patience, and companionship while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
Riley has been so great the past few months in walking our dog Bobbie. My schedule is a bit all over the place and she's been more than flexible to come walk bob on very short notice. Always on time, and very communication, we’re so happy to have her around to help walk our boy Bobbie.
Ian has been working with us and Bort for the summer and I can’t recommend him enough. His communication and experience with dogs is excellent. He is extremely flexible and easygoing and truly loves spending time with dogs and taking Bort out to do fun things like hiking and swimming. It’s so helpful to have Ian be there to help provide extra support. Thank you Ian!
Flint had such an amazing time! He’s wary of a lot of people but Rebecca reassured him from the start and knew exactly how to approach his walks. He had a fantastic time he returned to us so happy and tired and he was so excited seeing her on their second walk! Will 100% be booking again and would recommend Rebecca as a walker/pet sitter etc. she’s also a lovely person to deal with and incredibly accommodating. It’s a lovely reassurance knowing our puppy is in such good hands!
Devon is the best! Shes been so sweet and patient with my rescue pup who can be a bit shy around new faces. She always sends lots of photos and updates so I know Maisie is in good hands while I’m away. Devon is so accommodating, and helped me out with a last minute booking which was a life saver. Highly recommend her :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Vancouver on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,869 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Vancouver. About 85% of 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 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 Vancouver.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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 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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
