“Holly was great. Our dog suffered from some anxiety when Holly tried to take her for a walk. Holly sat with her a settled her down she was very kind and caring through the whole time.”
“Kate was a dream dog walker with my dog Xena. I had adopted her <5 weeks before Kate's walks and she is working through separation anxiety, recovering from a dog attack and learning new routines for walking, bathroom breaks and feeling safe. Kate's communication and organization is more than what you expect. She asked smart questions about commands, changes in training needs and comfort levels (mine and Xena's), and was able to help create a space where Xena had noticeable progress in just 2 visits! Kate was great helping Xena play with other dogs at the park, dealing with stubborn boundary testing leash behavious, letting me know of new behaviours like stick chewing, flagging Xena was ready for new toys / stimulation and giving (and receiving) cuddles. Kate's love for animals, intuitive and caring nature and grounded energy makes her a treat for any dog lover to rely on.”
About: I’ve raised my dog since he was a puppy and he lives with me. Trust I can understand how much commitment and energy a dog needs. Let me help you provide that:) I’m currently working part time and am a full time student. Usually evenings are my best time or afternoons. Weekends I have a lot more flexibility if you need a date night or anything:)! I live in an apartment and currently make sure my dog gets his play time and his walk times needed. I’ll make sure your dog has a good time while getting the necessary things they need.
About: Trust, honesty, and reliability are at the heart of how I care for your home and furry companions. I believe every pet deserves genuine attention, quality time, and a safe, comfortable space to be themselves. Whether it's getting outside for an adventure, enjoying some playtime and cuddles, or simply having a little company, I want to make sure your pets feel happy, settled, and well cared for while you're away. I take pride in being attentive to each pet's individual needs and respecting their routines, personalities, and little preferences. My goal is to make your time away a little easier, knowing your home is respected and your furry family members are in good hands! 🐾🐶🐱✨ I just moved to Victoria, so I'm looking for work until I start school in January. I am hoping that this turns into my main gig while I'm in school! Honesty and reliability are core values of mine, and I bring them into every home and every interaction with your furry companions. You can expect thoughtful, attentive care, plenty of quality time, and a genuine effort to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your companions are in caring, trustworthy hands!
“Ida was great! It was a really hot day and she was considerate in taking him for a shorter walk to be caution in not overheating him. She even refilled his water and hangout with him for the remaining of the time we worked. Bert loved her!”
“It is clear to see Karin has a genuine love for being with dogs. From the meet and greet, she made sure to make our puppy feel comfortable and take extra time to find out everything she needed to know. We have peace of mind knowing our puppy is happy and in great care.”
About: I’m a friendly, dedicated animal lover who is extremely flexible. I’ve raised a family of 3 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats — a true multitasker! I’m quite flexible with my schedule and am available at short notice. I’m here to help support you and your pets to stay healthy and happy. I have vast experience with both small & large dogs and cats including playing with, feeding, giving regular medication (both orally, topically and injections), grooming and providing a loving, caring and stimulating home environment.
“Adria was absolutely hands down amazing with my boy Cedar! He loved the walk so much and was a very sleepy boy afterwards. She was quick and efficient and eager to help me out, as I’m currently out of commission with a terrible flu. Her prompt response and service makes her an excellent candidate to walk your furry companion. Thank you so much Adria!!”
“This was a fantastic first visit. I am a very anxious dog Mom and have two dogs that need extra attention and care. Richelle was there, took notes, and definitely eased my mind. Will definitely be using her again for an away trip :)”
About: I am a caring and loving pet sitter that is more than happy to adjust to the needs of your pet! I am very comfortable with both large and small breeds. I have trained many of my own large-breed dogs, including rescue pit bulls, and therefore have a calm temperament that animals enjoy. I am comfortable administering medicine to special needs pets and going for long walks with higher-energy breeds as well. I have owned many dogs and cats in my lifetime, including certain special need breeds like French bulldogs and pugs. I am well-aware of the digestive issues that some designer breeds have and how to prevent issues. Anyone that knows me, knows I have a passion for all furry friends - big or small! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends to care for your pet, but I am off from work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 4pm and am happy to make drop-in visits on those days as well. I live in beautiful Victoria, BC and enjoy taking your pup for seaside walks, socialization can be provided at dog parks and I genuinely enjoy your dogs company!
“Incredible service! My dogs require a little extra care being older, and she was so accommodating, and treated my pups like they’re her own. Extremely reliable and will rebook!”
“Courtney is fantastic with my sweet timid girl. Was quick to arrange a meet and greet. Goes above and beyond to ensure Maisy’s needs are taken care of. Lots of availability and flexibility. Great pictures and updates from the rover card. Definitely recommend Courtney for your pup care needs.”
“Kaori was lovely!! Very communicative and flexible. Izzy had the best time going for walks with her, and she always provided a detailed summary with lots of photos. Will definitely rebook!”
“Sumiah was a tremendous help to us by walking our headstrong dog for five days. She is a delightful young woman, very responsible, punctual, confident and friendly. We would love to use her again.”
About: I have had a dog since being a teenager. I currently have a 4 yr old golden retriever. I also a 1yr old cat who I've had since 3 months old. I am used to taking my dog for a walk 3x per day, which can include your dog. I can also do drop in visits and have your dog over to my place. I make sure they are comfortable. I make sure there is nothing on the floors that they can eat. I make sure to give them lots of attention.
“Alma is wonderful with our old doggo! She met us for a meet and greet ahead of time. We appreciate her flexibility, sometimes he's not really interested in walking, so she'll play toys with him and keep him company while us pawrents go to work. She gives clear updates and pictures for us after each walk/visit :)”
“Sally was soooo great! She was very organized and super punctual. Rosie is often wary of strangers and yet she ran straight up to Sally upon meeting her. We felt super comfortable leaving Rosie with Sally.”

Can’t say enough great things, Kate met with me and Huxley prior to the scheduled dog walk and wanted to learn his habits. Went above and beyond when my dog was sick and I will definitely be booking again and highly reccomend her! I also appreciate that she could accommodate adding another dog for the walk last minute

Charlotte is amazing! We have a sweet lab who can be nervous with new people however she connected with Charlotte immediately. Charlotte is always on time, answers any questions quickly and professionally. Anyone would be lucky to have her take care of your pets! Highly recommend:)
Cole was honestly great to work with. He was calm, gentle, and really respectful of my dog's boundaries, which was especially important since she can be reactive with new people. He followed instructions really well, communicated consistently, and never seemed fazed by her behaviour. My dog warmed up to him really quickly, and I felt confident with the way he handled her on walks. I'd definitely recommend him, especially for anyone with a dog who needs a patient and understanding handler.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Victoria is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 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 796 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Victoria. About 84% of Victoria 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 Victoria. 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 Victoria 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 Victoria 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 Victoria 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!
