“As first time users of Rover, we were pleased that Deborah and Mark immediately accepted our request to take care of Harper, our Golden Retriever, in their home for four hours while we attended a family event. Harper settled right away in their home and fenced backyard, and we felt comfortable leaving him in their care. We were pleased with photos they sent to us during his stay. We would gladly rebook with Deborah & Mark in the future and recommend them to others.”
“Lu is an amazing host. She has got a nice and big place, lots of space for our Gucci to run around and Snowy is an angel companion. Thanks for such a great experience Lu.”
“I feel at ease while being away at work knowing Clem is in great hands with Heather. Heather is so sweet, easy to communicate with and is conscientious about the care she provides to my little furry family member. Clem is always happy at pick up. I can tell she was well cared for! Thanks Heather!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child ( Corgi, Golden Retriever, kangal) and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and working/ volunteering over the years. My availability is 8 am to 6 pm every week. For those pets who boarding in my house, most of time they will be playing with us and they go out and play for half hour every 3 hours. I live in a single house with fenced yard with my wife and my daughter, very loving family, no smoking or vaping or anything that could be harmful to health in the house. I am part time dog care attendant and my wife is a groomer with experience over 10+ years. This is the home you can trust.

About: I worked at animal emerge clinic of the Fraser Valley for almost 4 years and I love taking care of animals and giving them the love that they deserve.

About: 2+ years experience in drop in visits and dog walking. Confident in satisfying owner & pet needs. I've had the pleasure of caring for a handful of dogs of my friends and clients, and this experience has solidified my passion for providing top-notch care to our four-legged friends. Each pup I've looked after has taught me something unique about their needs and preferences, and I've cherished every moment spent with them. I can provide drop-in visits and dog walk services, bringing enthusiasm, dedication, and a genuine love for animals to every pet sitting opportunity. Your dog's well-being and happiness will be my utmost priority, and I'm committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and content in my care. I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walks anytime weekday and weekends, providing service in full time basis. Feel free to reach out to me! In providing in-home pet care, I focus on maintaining your pet's routine and comfort while prioritizing their safety. I pay close attention to specific needs, be it dietary requirements or medications, and maintain a clean environment to ensure their health. During dog walks, I engage dogs in exercise and exploration tailored to their energy level, using leashes and harnesses for safety. Social interaction is offered if your dog enjoys it, with responsible waste removal as a standard practice. Communication with you is paramount, ensuring you're kept informed about each visit or walk.
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with dogs, horses, bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters, so understanding animal behavior and care has always come naturally to me. I have a ton of patience, attentiveness, and ability to build trust with animals quickly. I also personally trained my own family dogs (golden retriever and American Eskimo Spitz), which gave me experience with reinforcing good behaviours, maintaining routines, leash walking, crate training, and understanding the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I genuinely take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and anxious, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most relaxed. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets in my care get lots of supervision, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and attention, not just quick check-ins. I treat every animal like they’re part of the family and care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own pets. I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home as a university student currently off for the summer. This allows me to provide pets with lots of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available for daytime care and overnight boarding, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have years of experience caring for animals, not only my own pets, but also pet sitting and caring for the pets of friends, family and clients over the years. I have looked after animals with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are when caring for someone’s pet. I live in a clean, pet-friendly townhouse with a front yard, and pets in my care are welcome to freely roam around the home and make themselves comfortable. They are absolutely allowed on the furniture because I want them to feel as relaxed, loved, and at home as possible during their stay. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive lots of supervision, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I am also a very active and routine-oriented person, so walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime are always kept consistent and reliable. Since I already enjoy going on walks daily myself, your dog will get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and stimulation. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level to help them feel safe and stress-free while away from home. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I will make sure they receive patient, loving, and attentive care every step of the way. For daycare and overnight boarding, I ask owners to provide food, treats, leash/harness, medications (if needed), and any comfort items like toys or blankets to help their pets settle in comfortably.
“From the moment my dog, Bestie, and I step through the door, we're greeted with such warmth and kindness from Deborah and her furry companions. The environment is perfect for walks, and I've witnessed firsthand the care and attention she gives to him while he's under her watch. After daycare, my dog returns home happy, tired, and thoroughly content, which is all we could ever ask for. Thank you, Deborah, for providing such a wonderful experience for my dog!”
About: Animals have been at the center of my life for decades. Before pet care and dog walking, I spent 36 years as a horse trainer. I also ran a home-based dog and cat rescue in Mexico, helping animals heal, build trust, and find them loving homes. I also volunteered at the Surrey SPCA. I’m experienced with dogs who have anxiety, reactivity, aggression, or medical needs. Sensitive animals tend to settle with me quickly. I read body language well and adjust my approach to what each dog needs. I offer on-leash and off-leash walks based on your dog’s training, recall, and your preferences. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort—whether that’s a calm stroll or a fun adventure. Off-leash time is only done with your approval, in safe, designated areas I know well. I’m familiar with local trails and parks, including Campbell Valley and Derby Reach, plus several great dog-friendly parks nearby, depending upon the area. Or, if you prefer, around your neighborhood. My goal is simple: your dog gets a safe, fun walk and real connection. You get peace of mind knowing they’re with someone reliable who genuinely cares. I can also accommodate one small dog for boarding or daycare in my home. I work from home, so they get plenty of attention throughout the day—I previously had a Chihuahua, so I’m very familiar with small dogs and their needs. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes for care in your home. I also have experience with cats of all temperaments, horses, bunnies, birds, goats, and sheep. Pet care is my full focus, and I’m committed to providing reliable, trusted care for every pet I work with. I’m available weekdays, evenings, and weekends with flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I carefully follow their routines, pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and provide warm, trusted, attentive care so they feel relaxed and happy.
“Our border collie has endless amount of energy and can be hard to keep up with but Wei and Long were so good with him! They sent tons of pictures and videos with updates and he was clearly having the time of his life with them! It definitely eased any worries seeing how happy he was. I highly recommend and we’ll definitely be using their services again! Thank you!”

Gina took fantastic care of Luca for the day! I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day—it gave me total peace of mind. Luca came home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Gina and look forward to booking with them again!
As first time users of Rover, we were pleased that Deborah and Mark immediately accepted our request to take care of Harper, our Golden Retriever, in their home for four hours while we attended a family event. Harper settled right away in their home and fenced backyard, and we felt comfortable leaving him in their care. We were pleased with photos they sent to us during his stay. We would gladly rebook with Deborah & Mark in the future and recommend them to others.
Erika was absolutely lovely. Detail oriented, gave great updates, sent photos, lots of potty breaks and very attentive. She noticed how Sherru was feeling and helped him feel more comfortable over the stay. She was so flexible and helpful. Will definitely be booking again.
Catherine and her husband were so kind and caring to our little teddy. Teddy seemed to really enjoy dog Bella. My husband and I had a few hours to ourselves, knowing Teddy was in good care. When we picked him up,Teddy was happy and we could tell he had a good visit. I will most definitely book Catherine again I. The near future.
I can’t say enough good things about Debbie and her family. She is compassionate, caring, thoughtful, fun, and energetic. My Corgi puppy, Eleanor, can’t wait to get to the front door when we arrive at her place. Debbie takes Eleanor on walks (she has a nice tree-lined trail by her place), plays with her in the doggy pool when it’s hot, and lets us bring Eleanor’s sandbox to dig in. Her place is clean and organized. She has space to keep Eleanor separate from the cats if she won’t leave them alone, and she has gates to allow Eleanor access to a nice backyard area from the front of her place. Debbie is truly an animal lover. Eleanor gets spoiled with her homemade dog food as a topper on her kibble when she’s there and I feel that she’s in the hands of someone who really cares about her wellbeing. We are so grateful to have found Debbie on Rover. Thank you <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 2,314 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Walnut Grove. About 87% of Walnut Grove 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Walnut Grove commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Every sitter 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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 sitter.
