“Jungho is amazing—super patient and really responsible. Every time he takes the dogs out, he makes sure they’re safe and comfortable, paying attention to all their needs. He follows all the rules but also knows how to make the walks fun for the dogs. You can really trust him to take great care of them!”

“Was nervous about my chow chow walking with some one else, he’s never been on a walk without me before. But it went perfectly, Jonathan was very professional, and Neptune had a great time. He updated me with pictures too. Already booked more walks in the future, and will continue to do so! I highly recommend Jonathan”

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: I’m currently studying at a grooming school, where I’m learning professional dog and cat grooming, along with pet First Aid and CPR. This training gives me a deeper understanding of animal behaviour, safe handling, and health awareness, allowing me to provide a higher level of care and attention to every pet. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have my own 2y.o. cat, so I understand daily routines, feeding, and paying attention to a pet’s behaviour and needs. I’ve also lived with dogs before and regularly helped my housemates by walking them and taking care of them whenever needed. In addition, I’ve looked after my friends’ dogs and cats, including pet sitting and walks. I’m comfortable with different personalities and always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own - with lots of love and cuddles. Taking clients around my neighbourhood- Downtown Vancouver and West End. Would love to bring your dog on a walk to Stanley park or a beach walk. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week, including weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walk schedules, and any specific needs or preferences. In a client’s home, I respect the space and try to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel secure. I give them attention, playtime, and companionship, while also paying close attention to their behavior and well-being. Safety is very important to me — I make sure pets are always supervised during walks, kept in secure environments, and never put in risky situations. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been passionate about dogs my entire life! Growing up, my family always had dogs in the house, whether they were our own, neighbors, or fosters. I was responsible for exercising, cleaning, entertaining and feeding the animals of the house, which taught me how to care for pets of all different personalities, including those with separation anxiety and other behavioural needs. I pride myself on having provided all the love and attention each of them deserved. Since moving to Vancouver for school, I’ve missed caring for dogs. While I can’t have one of my own right now, I’d love to spend time with your furry friend! I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone and am committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your dog. I'm currently working part time so I have lots of wiggle room to fit into your and your dogs schedule! Mornings are best for me and I’d prefer to keep on a regular weekly schedule if possible. I vouch to care for the needs of your pet and following your directions. I will ask for details on your pets walking habits, if you prefer them at off or onleash parks, and if they have any favourite toys to bring with us!

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my whole life and I have always had a love for animals! I’ve also enjoyed looking after friends’ dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to give each pup the attention and care they deserve! I love being outdoors whether it’s hiking, running, going for long walks, or playing! I’d love to bring your dog along for adventures, or just enjoy a relaxed walk with lots of sniffing and exploring! Unlimited cuddles are always on the table! I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend ❤️ I work as a nurse with a rotating shift schedule, so my availability varies and gives me flexibility to care for your pup on different days, including weekdays and weekends. I always keep my calendar updated and confirm availability in advance to ensure I can give your dog the time and attention they deserve! I love being active outdoors, so I’m always happy to go for walks, hikes, or play outside with energetic pups! As a nurse I’m responsible, attentive, and caring. I’ll treat your dog like family while keeping you updated with photos and messages! I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection.
“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!”

About: With more than 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, plus professional experience in a cat boarding facility, I provide compassionate, reliable pet care.

About: I've taken care of a variety of different dogs and cats, all with different needs and personalities. I'm exceptionally calm and good for seniors and anxious types. Also have experience with birds and reptiles. Furry, feathered pets welcome! I work as a freelance designer and have a regularly flexible schedule during school days and weekends. If you have a very social pet I can bring my kids to interact as well. Adaptable to whatever the client's home needs. I will prioritize making sure the pet is comfortable and cared for. If walks are needed, I am physically fit and happy to get outside.

About: I’ve taken care of my family members dogs growing up. I have always wanted a dog of my own but just don’t have the means to provide one for myself. I work full time but have the ability to work from home most days of the week. I work mostly downtown but live in Vancouver. I am very attentive and affectionate towards emotions and needs and would provide the same care and attention towards all pets I look after. My building includes a pet wash station and is pet friendly as well!
“David came over to meet Jax ahead of time and you can tell he loves dogs and asked lots of questions to make sure he was well taken care of. We got timely communications and photos of a very happy dog. Would definitely recommend him and would use him again.”

“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!”

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
Taylor was always easy to reach,full of smiles , energy. Beans is a very high energy seven month old Aussie Shepherd. He absolutely loved Taylor,and everytime he returned from his outing with her I immediately noticed how content and how much calmer Beans was. Taylor was amazing for a pictures and updates each walk and took Beans to new fun places. I love the distance and real running and playing she afforded Beans to have. Again communication was super easy and though this was the first time I've ever had another person with my dog..I felt comfortable with Taylor. She exudes a wonderful kindness, competence,and genuine love for animals. She was also affordable though I think her services are worth much more, I'm happy she made it possible to book her services. I know Beans is even more so happy, already he looks forward to her arriving for his walks. That when I say "Is it time to see Taylor?" His whole body whipped forward ears up looking for her! I'm definitely booking Taylor again,and recommend anyone looking for thorough,punctual,genuine love and care for their pets needs to stop scrolling and book at the name 'Taylor.V.'

I recently moved to Vancouver with my dog Toby and Samantha has been nothing less than amazing. She directly provided me confidence with watching him and she is great! Always sending pictures to update me, taking him on fun puppy adventures, honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is very reliable and very easy to get a hold of and has great communication (not to mention my dog loves her and her partner a lot)

Leaving a senior dog behind is never easy, but Mojgan made the experience so much less stressful. From our first meeting, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. She took the time to visit my dog, make sure she was doing well, spend time playing with her, give her treats and lots of love and attention. Her updates and communication gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate having someone so trustworthy to count on. Thank you, Moji!

I am so grateful Renee was recommended to me to walk my dog while I was out of town for two weeks. I know it was a great break for Cooper to go out and walk the neighbourhood. Renee communicated with me before and after each walk and I find her to be very professional and caring!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Vancouver is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $41 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 4,953 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Vancouver. About 84% 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 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 Vancouver 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 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.
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 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!
