“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“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!”
“Ana is definitely a dog lover! Our puppy warmed up to her right away and has enjoyed a couple great walks with her so far. I took comfort knowing that I could count on Ana to feed and walk our puppy, as well as be consistent with the training and commands we use with our pup.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own sweet dog for the last eight years, and my friends and families pets periodically for the last four years - I’ve loved animals for my whole life! I’m currently a care taker for my father at the general hospital, so I go to the hospital often with him (2-4ish hours a few times a week), but other than that I have complete availability for you and your pooch. Inviting me to your home to take care of your pet is quite the honour, and I’ll follow whatever rules and expectations you have for me as I look after your pet.
About: Hello, My name is Aden and I just moved back to Vancouver after spending 6 years living in London. I am not working at the moment so I have plenty of daytime availability. My family has a 10 year old Husky-cross named Oakley (also seen in my profile picture) and my husband's family has an 8 year old Golden Retriever named Murphy (aka Murph.) We are a dog loving family and I have lots of experience walking, feeding, bathing, and taking care of dogs. Please do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any other questions :) I am not working at the moment. I am available most weekends. I enjoy staying active and going for daily walks. I can take your pets on leashed walks to the dog park or around the neighbourhood. I can crate your pup if need be as well. I live in Olympic Village and enjoy exploring new areas as well! I am not working at the moment. I have lots of flexibility to go for walks/ spend time with your pup. I am available full time during the week and majority of weekends as well! I live in Olympic Village which is very dog friendly. I can easily get to other neighbourhoods as well to visit and take your dog for a walk around your area.
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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Vancouver is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
Aden is wonderful at looking after our high energy golden doodle: he is always so happy and content after a walk with Aden. She plays ball with him at the park and goes above and beyond to wipe his paws when he comes home. We are thrilled to be able to work with Aden and highly recommend her to anyone!
Tambo had a great time with Jimena and Daniel. They took her on walks, fed her, gave her water, and sent many photos. We really appreciated how communicative they were and felt very comfortable leaving Tambo in their care. Will definitely have them watch Tambo again!
Billie was amazing! A real professional. As a first time dog mom, I was nervous about leaving my dog Murphy with someone new. But Billie made for the most amazing stress-free experience from start to finish! Billie made sure to understand all of Murphy’s needs before our booking. I received detailed updates, and appreciated the quick and thorough communication. Billie went above and beyond to make sure Murphy was happy and well taken care of. I came home to a happy pup, whose day was brighter after a day with Billie. I’m so grateful to have found such a caring, trustworthy and knowledgeable dog sitter who Murphy absolutely adores!
I can't recommend Sophia enough! She is exceptionally friendly, highly communicative, and clearly a huge dog lover. She sends wonderful photos and updates during her visits, and always brings so much enthusiasm to her walks with Neo. I would be very happy to have her as Neo's regular walker and recommend her to anyone
Keilana goes above and beyond on a daily basis! No matter how tired Ace is beforehand, he goes absolutely crazy whenever he sees her, knowing he’s about to have a fun adventure. Her dog photos are simply unmatched, aesthetic and scenic and Ace is always proudly posing with a huge smile. He comes home absolutely exhausted from his walks with Keilana - highly recommend!
I'm so fortunate to have met Angela and introduced her to my dog, Kitty. Angela goes above and beyond and is very on top of communication and coordination. The reports I receive about their walk is always a highlight of my day knowing my little critter has been taken care of. I'd highly recommend Angela!

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 .
