“Megan runs with my dog. She's very considerate and adjusts her running based on Hermione's needs. She also brings water on longer runs, which is much appreciated. Highly recommended if your dog has energy to burn!”
“Zenda has been so accommodating and kind from our meet and greet onwards - she’s managed my dog’s reactivity on walks with no issues and we’re so grateful to have found her! Highly recommend ☺️”
“Jungho was fantastic with our pup Macchiato! He followed all of our notes carefully and made sure Macchiato got his walks, playtime, and attention while we were at work. It gave us peace of mind knowing Macchiato was well cared for. Jungho was also very reliable and easy to communicate with—he updated us and made sure everything went smoothly. Macchiato came back happy and content, which says a lot! We really appreciate the effort and care he put in, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend!”
“Mila was excellent!! she was so attentive to our pups needs, and made sure to check in before leaving our house to ensure that he was left as happy as can be. He enjoyed his walk with her, and she was extremely responsive to all of our requests. I highly recommend her! We will definitely be rebooking her to walk our sweet pup again.”
“5 stars! Halyna took Kobe and Jude out for their second walk and survived—solo! These teenage bundles of energy didn’t stand a chance against her 5K stamina. They came home tired and happy with cute videos and pics of their adventure ! Cannot rate Halyna and Uggy more. Highly recommend”
“Bailey and I immediately liked Samantha! She is a really sweet person. I appreciate that she turns on the air conditioning for Bailey when I am away at work. She is patient with my senior dog and that is exactly what I needed!”
“Klara was wonderful, punctual, patient, responsible and loving with our senior dog. What more can you ask for! She was a major help for us and our dog was cared for and happy ❤️ and she is a lovely person, too!”
“Mariia came over before our appointment to meet Cleo, which gave me peace of mind as I immediately found her to be a sweet and trustworthy girl. On the day she picked her up and walked her, Cleo needed some encouragement, and Mariia patiently gave her time to feel comfortable enough to go out with her for the walk. I won't hesitate to choose her to look after Cleo again in the future.”
“Anita was amazing! Their presence was so warm right off the bat with my anxious rescue dog who calmed right down in her presence and looked like she thoroughly enjoyed her walk with Anita! Anita was incredibly punctual, sent lots of photos to keep me updated and would absolutely love to have her walk my dog again.”
“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.”
“She was so pleased to see Rachel arrive then after her walk she was tired but happy which is great , my other dog and cat took to Rachel straight away too showing her obvious affection for animals Am booking Rachel again , highly recommend Thank you Rachel 😁”
“Iker was kind, pleasant and attentive to the needs of my Dog Bo. My dog is XL size, requires a Halti, and is leash reactive. Iker listened to all of my instructions and concerns regarding the special care of my Great Dane and gave me confidence right from the start in his ability to handle an animal that requires patience and leadership. More so my dog was clearly very comfortable with him and after just 1 walk my dog was sad to see him go. I will be using Iker often as he gives me confidence my dog will be safe with him. 10/10 5 stars.”

Mojgan was absolutely wonderful with our rescue dog, who is very shy and fearful around new people. She was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding, and our dog quickly felt comfortable with her. We were so happy to see that our dog was able to go on a walk, pee, and poop with someone other than us—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands.I'm so grateful that our dog has found a new friend. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
Elissa was great! I needed a dog walker for a last minute emergency and I was lucky to find Elissa. For a week she arrived punctually, communicated well, and took great care of my dogs. She made astute observations and asked pertinent questions about their behaviour, and their preferences. She went above and beyond the allotted walking time I had scheduked. The dogs were happy and calm when I got home from work. I will definitely ask for her again when if I lose my regular walker. Thank you so much Elissa!

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.
