“Felicia was fantastic with my dog Bentley! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I got updates and photos during every walk. Bentley was always happy and worn out (in the best way) when he got back. I'd trust Felicia with Bentley anytime and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”
About: I've cared for numerous pets of all shapes and sizes throughout my life, from horses to hamsters. I'm well versed in medicating both cats and dogs as well as nail trims. No matter the service I strive to tailor it to your pets specific needs, happy to adjust and learn to give your pet the experience you expect. Working online allows me all the freedom to give all my attention to your pets needs. I'm happy to let my flexible schedule work for your busy one! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of space to explore, along with a friendly, goofy chocolate lab whose always eager to play. I also have an entire room with a bed or the option of a crate for privacy if that is your pets preference.
“So grateful to find Shannon in a pinch today. She was so awesome easy pick up easy drop off and I seem to like rocket loved her.. would definitely book her again in the future”
About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.
“Stella and I feel so fortunate that we have Jung as her dog walker! Finding a dog walker you can truly trust is so hard, but Jung made us feel completely at ease from the moment she stepped foot past the gate.Her vast experience and volunteer work with dogs is obvious in the way she handles Stella, paying close attention to every safety detail on their walks. Her communication is also top-notch—I always get wonderful photo updates and detailed summaries right after the walk. We couldn't ask for a more reliable, professional, and caring walker. Highly recommend Jung to any pet parent!”
About: I have had dogs since I was young, but I’ve had my own dog since I was 18 years old. For the last few years I have dog sat for puppies as young as 8 weeks old, and for as many as 12 dogs at a time. Pet sitting for that many dogs at a time can be chaotic, but it has prepared me to be ready for anything. I also have experience taking care of cats, birds, and a pig. I really love animals and I love to spoil them while their owners are away! My availability this term is very flexible as I am mostly only busy Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so I have plenty of time to go for hikes and walks with my dog (and hopefully yours!). My nights are also very free to pet sit. I am interested in long or short term scheduling and I’m flexible for timing. I have a 10 year old corgi mix, he’s a ton of fun and very friendly. He loves all types of dogs. I have a large fenced yard and I’m close to a huge park with leashed and off leashed paths. I also have a car so I like to take the dogs for hikes or to the nearby dog park.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was young and for the past three years, I’ve taken care of my own puppy. I love all animals, providing for their needs, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. When I take care of them, I provide lots of photos and details of what went on during the visit to keep you updated. Your pets are safe with me! My schedule is currently very open, so I have plenty of room in my schedule to care for your fur baby and provide for their needs. If needed, I can crate your dog or keep them in a pen, whichever situation you have. I’m meticulous about making sure that there is nothing around that could harm your pet and I keep a vigilant eye.
“Jessica did a great job with Toby! We really appreciated her taking the time to come meet him first and make sure he was comfortable. The walk went great and we appreciate the cute pictures!”
About: I'm a responsible and doting pet carer. I am certified by the American Red Cross in pet first aid. I have had a variety of dogs over the years and have experience with senior dogs, special needs dogs, and puppies. I also have customer service experience. I'm communicative and responsive. Your pet will be safe and cared for and you will be worry-free with me! I have a flexible schedule. I’m available seven days a week for your pet care needs. I’m also available for last minute requests. I update my calendar regularly and am responsive to your needs. I have pet care insurance to protect your pup from any unexpected incidents. My home is pet safe and ready for your beloved for boarding. I live in a safe neighborhood and have plenty of space to take pets on walks in the neighborhood. I live alone and have no pets, so I can take pets that don't get along with other dogs and cats or children.
“Marcus always takes great care of Zeta and seems to genuinely appreciate the time he spends with the pup. He and I were able to set up a system for taking the pup out while I'm at work and it has been a super smooth and easy process.”
About: Ever since I was little I can remember always taking care of others - people, dogs, cats and many other little creatures along the way. Now as the new season approaches and fall welcomes us, I am now looking for new work and would love to care and connect with all the fur babies in our community here in Downtown Vancouver! I have open availability between 6am and 9pm everyday! More then enough to care for your fur babies and lend a helping hand:) Thank you! I have two sassy girl cats who love their floor to ceiling cat tree and many toys they go crazy for! With sassy being said, my services will be provided in home only as Indie and Luna are very particular with who they let into their home😅
“Phoebe is great! She is sweet, patient, flexible, and reliable. And she takes great care of my hyper puppy! I appreciate the updates and communication as well.”
About: I provide reliable, loving, personalized care for every pup, treating your furry family members like my own with patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care so every pup feels safe, happy, and at home. 🐾❤️ My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I share it with Penelope, my friendly two-year-old tabby cat. I prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated on your furry family member.

Felicia was fantastic with my dog Bentley! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I got updates and photos during every walk. Bentley was always happy and worn out (in the best way) when he got back. I'd trust Felicia with Bentley anytime and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!
Michelle did an awesome job caring for Gambit! We had a medical scare the day we planned to drop our dog off with Michelle. Gambit had to have a quick surgery which resulted in him being drowsy, being prescribed medication and a patient after care routine. Although this wasn’t initially expected for Michelle to have to deal with when originally booked, she accepted the additional responsibility without question and was able to carry out the needed extra care without issue. This really helped reduce our stress and anxiety of our dog’s well being while we were out of town. If it was any other rover, we probably would have canceled our trip! Michelle is extremely responsive, punctual, nice and a joy to interact with. Would highly recommend!
I am so grateful I found Claire! She made time for a meet and greet with my pup so he could get to know her a bit before she came another day to walk him. I instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell that Finn did too. He's an Aussie and pretty much thinks everyone is sketchy, but I was surprised at how calm he was around her. When she came by another day to walk him, she sent me photos and videos and kept me in the loop on how Finn was doing. She was so patient with him and spent extra time playing with him and letting him get to know her at his own pace. Finn had a great time and it made being away a lot easier.
Steele is fantastic! He takes amazing care of Nigel and is super knowledgeable and punctual. We love that he always keeps us in the loop, whether he's sharing a quick update about how the walk went or staying on top of scheduling. I’d trust him with Nigel any day!
Zach and Janexis have been great. Frou is getting walked on a regular basis and is much happier. Great communication and they show up for every walk and have been flexible with the schedule. I greatly appreciate having people that I can trust with my dog and with my house. Highly recommend!

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 your Vancouver. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
