I’m available daily, mornings and afternoons! I will always find time for those important fur babies in your life, for walks, feeding, potty breaks, and more! Your dogs safety and happiness is my number one priority! They will always be supervised when outside and leashed on walks, unless told otherwise! My personal opinion is that dogs should be outside and enriching their lives, that is always a big goal of mine! I’ve worked lots with children and animals so I have lots of experience! I am very responsible and eager to meet you and your cuddly pets!
“Tammy has been walking Loki for quite some time. She is amazing with her and her little quirks meeting other dogs. Loki looks forward to her walks and is very vocal greeting Tammy now. Thanks Tammy you are awesome!”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for 25+ years. I currently have two cats of my own and understand the importance on checking in on them when you are away! I can provide cuddles, playing, litter-box changes etc. to make them feel comfortable. I have an active lifestyle and can keep your dog entertained and healthy throughout walks, runs, cuddling, and brushing. I have most experience with larger dogs (golden retrievers and huskies for example), but also am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I understand the importance of building a relationship of trust with dogs and how to make sure they feel loved as well. I look forward to making some new furry friends! I work part-time and am mostly available in the evenings + weekends. Please message me for more details. My schedule posted is up to date. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home. I care for pets by frequent bathroom breaks, brushing, playing and cuddling of course.

About: I have had pets all my life growing up! Mostly cats but I have such a love for animals and I will share that same love for your furry friends to ensure they would be comfortable. I currently work from home most weeks and only head out for short meetings throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for too long and I’ll be here to keep them company, take them for walks and ensure they get some time outside in the back to run around and have fun. I have a fenced back yard with about a third of an acre that they can run around in. I have two younger children so they will always have a play date however your pets need to be cool with kids.
“Laura went above and beyond on her walk with our dog. She clearly enjoyed him as much as we do. She kindly extended their time and ensured he was tuckered out before our guests arrived. She even discovered his secret love of grass and helped brush out the burrs he picked up along the way. We would be grateful to have her help us again.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have plenty of experience caring for them. I currently have a Mastiff-cross puppy who I love taking for morning walks and letting her have fun with all her dog friends! I also had a sweet Basset Hound who I raised from a puppy through his senior years. He was such a loving boy with a little bit of a stubborn streak! 🐾 I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they have a fun, happy time. I’m looking to fill my weekdays with some extra furry friends! I’m available during the day while my kiddos are at school, which gives me plenty of time for walks and visits. I love getting outside and would be happy to spend that time giving your pup some one-on-one attention, fresh air, and a fun break in their day. I’m flexible with timing and would love to find a schedule that works well for you and your pup. I’m a big believer that dogs are part of the family, so I want them to feel happy, safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I’ll follow whatever routine works best for your pup and make sure they get lots of attention, love and a good walk. I’ll always be mindful of their surroundings and keep them safe, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I would my own.
About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING** Hi there! My name is Melissa. I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Some people call me the dog whisperer but I'm not here to brag ;) A little About Me… My dog Daisy is the love of my life so I completely understand how scary it can be leaving your precious fur babies with a stranger. My hope is to make sure that both dogs and owners are comfortable and happy with allowing me to take care of their pets while they are busy or away. Which is why I always meet pet parents before booking with me. I have owned and cared for puppies, adult and senior dogs. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I promise, I will love and care for your pet with patience and compassion. I can walk dogs and check in on pets multiple times a day. I’m a student but doing all my schooling online so my schedule is very flexible. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own and based on the instructions given by the owner. It is pet specific.
About: I take passion in animals. I love to get to know there characteristics. Dogs have their own language, and it’s very interesting to me! Your pup will love me. I have a short week every second week at my job. I enjoy walking dogs So why not help out others!! Plus I really enjoy meeting other dogs. I will always make sure your animal is safe !! I would never leave them unless I’m sure there ok! I take passion in working with animals especially dogs.
About: I’ve spent 15 years caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies and rescue kittens and dogs with unique needs. My experience includes puppy training and development, socialization, positive-reinforcement training, reactivity management, agility work, and caring for cats and dogs with specific medical, dietary and behavioural needs. Over 15 years I’ve shared my home with Boston Terriers, Pitbull Shar-Pei rescues and two sassy rescue cats, and have helped friends and neighbours with pet sitting, boarding, walks and training. Most recently, I spent three months helping a neighbour with daily walks and training for their Husky puppy. I’m a big believer that every animal has their own personality, quirks and way of communicating. I enjoy getting to know each animal, respecting their individual needs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared while their people are away. I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks. I’m happy to build my day around your pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routines, so they can enjoy consistency and attention while you’re away. With 15 years of experience around animals, I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, energy levels and behavioural needs. From maintaining familiar routines to recognising behavioural cues and respecting boundaries, I take the time to understand what helps each pet feel secure. I follow your instructions carefully, pay attention to feeding and exercise needs, and use positive reinforcement where appropriate. I also respect your home and believe in keeping you informed, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are being cared for thoughtfully.
“My dog loves Marilise. She responded quickly, communicated with me before and after the walk, and took Tilley on a long hike. I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. 🤗”
About: I have worked in animal medicine for 27 years and owned/operated my own pet sitting business. I love all animals and have cared for birds, pocket pets, dog and cats. I am comfortable giving oral/topical and injections (ex. Insulin). Two years ago I spent a year getting certified in animal hospice and palliative care. I know leaving a little old timer at home is stressful and requires someone with advanced caregiving skills. I welcome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents and small reptiles. I am working from home. Animals who are cared for in our home are rarely alone. I can be available for visits during daytime or evenings. I have a quarter acre fenced yard. We have a pug named Bruce and a border collie named Biscuit. We live in a bi-level home in a quiet neighbourhood close to hiking trails that we frequent often. Pocket pets enjoy their own room and birds are upstairs with outdoor lookout.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Vernon is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $43 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 417 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Vernon. About 83% of Vernon 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 Vernon. 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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!
