About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and needs to help them feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to give each pet the same care and attention I would want for my own. I prioritize safety, reliability, and clear communication, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing loving, dependable care in a safe and comfortable environment. I currently a full time masters student therefore have a ton of flexibility. I can work every weekend and most evenings. I am open to working with pet owners to coordinate times that work best for them! I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. Therefore I have a preference to provide care in the client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while always respecting each pet's individual needs and boundaries. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements provided by the owner. Safety is my top priority. I ensure pets are always supervised appropriately, secure during walks and outdoor time, and kept in a clean, pet-friendly environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away.
“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!”
“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!”

“Kami was awesome with our Frenchton Louie. She sent great photos on her walks with him and was easy to communicate with. We would book Kami to walk Louie again for sure!”

About: To me, the most important part of pet care is patience and communication, even when that communication doesn't involve words. Every animal has their own personality, boundaries, routines, and way of telling you what they need. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs at every stage of life, from puppies and kittens all the way through to senior and end-of-life. I've managed medications, been there through surgeries, and loved them all along the way. At 9 years old, I finally wore down my parents and they got me a puppy. Paige was my entire world, my best friend, and my sister. She taught me the importance of love and patience, and the true meaning of responsibility. After losing her last summer, I dove headfirst into being a crazy cat lady. After fostering for some time, I adopted 2 precious kitties of my own. Now I just cannot get enough animal love! Since I work from home, I love the chance to get out and spend some much needed time with my neighbourhood fur-friends. I do this because at the end of the day, there's no better feeling than taking care of someone else. Especially when they've got 4 legs and they're covered in fur from head to toe! I live in the South Cambie area and work from home full-time (with a flexible schedule). Throughout the work week, I'm mostly available in the morning and late afternoon/evening, as well as day-time visits if you're close by :) I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so let’s find a plan that makes both you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible! I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, care instructions, and any special precautions or preferences you have. As a pet owner myself, I find it reassuring to get photos and updates while I’m away, so I’m always happy to send them and help you feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: My wife and I have years of experience taking care of dogs. We love them. But we ensure that we love dogs in the ways that they receive love. Structure, exercise, cuddles, and calm, consistent leadership. I am well experienced in dog training, canine behaviour, and am confident working with dogs of varying sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My wife has worked for Global Pet Foods, and thus is experienced in dog nutrition and care. Together, we have raised & trained a beautiful female Vizsla named Sage. Our work schedule is quite flexible, so we are able to go out for walks or drop in for home visits. Rain or shine we love a good walk! We adhere to the guidelines given to us by the owners, as they know their dogs best. Upon that, we give dogs in our care plenty of structure, exercise, training, and attention. We also ensure the dogs stay well-nourished and protected while they are under our care. Responsibility & love is what we strive to provide.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all breeds and temperaments my whole life and love spending time with them! A dogs wellbeing and routine are most important to me when caring for pets. I have looked after seniors who may need extra care, puppies and reactive dogs. I currently work full time from home, so breaks during the day to get outside for a walk are great for me too! I can also stay at your home and work from there, provided there is internet access. While I can’t have pets in my own home, I’m very comfortable and experienced with crate trained or free roaming dogs. A dogs safety is most important to me when on walks, avoiding unnecessary interactions if reactive to other animals.
“Marly & Charlotte took such great care of our dogs! Even took them out longer than asked on the sunny days and kept us updated with photos! Will absolutely be rebooking walks with them throughout the summer and future!”

“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!”

“Ayla is very reliable and supplies lots of pictures and info on each walk she does with our Cosmo (i.e. a full report!). He very much looks forward to her visits, and on those days she comes we know he's getting an excellent midday outing.”

“Recently booked Adele to walk my three dogs throughout the week and i couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment she arrived it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She took the time to understand each of the dogs individual personalities and needs and handled all three of them with such patience and care. It's so reassuring to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog walker! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We couldn’t be happier with Christina! Juno, our super active lab, absolutely adores her. She’s patient, reliable, and even works on Juno’s walk training during their outings. We’re so grateful for her care —highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals, included long term overnight stay since my teenage years. I’m an animal lover through in through, pets are the best I have a flexible remote job, and therefore I am available any time of day with sufficient notice for walks or pop ins, day and night. Having cats of my own, my house is already pet friendly. I have nearby dog parks and I am willing to go on long walks to keep your pet happy.

Jia was absolutely wonderful with Neo! She was fantastic at communicating and sent great pictures of his walks and playtime. Because he had some teeth removed just a few days prior, I especially appreciated how thoughtful, attentive, and communicative she was about how he was doing. She took such great care of him, and I would gladly book her again in a heartbeat!

I cannot thank this woman enough! I feel she went above and beyond. I was stuck at work on a double and couldn't find any dog walker and I finally explained my situation. It was far, super late and last minute booking and she still helped me out. I would 100% recommend and if she wasnt so far I'd ask her to walk Sage again. My dog was nice and tired and well hydrated when i got home. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Yuliya was absolutely wonderful with Luna! She was incredibly caring, kind, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Luna was in such good hand. You can immediately tell how much she genuinely cares about animals. Luna had a great time with her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely love to see Yuliya again very soon!🐾❤️ Highly, highly recommend her!

Elissa was wonderful! I was so grateful she filled in last minute for 3 weeks worth of walks and was able to navigate my leash reactive rescue dogs. She was communicative and very respectful, going above and beyond. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future and highly recommend!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Vancouver on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,865 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!

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.
