“Kathryn was great with our 9 month old puppy! We needed someone last minute to walk Theo and she was very responsive and professional. She came over the night before to introduce herself and meet him. She took great care of him on his walk and even went above and beyond to clean up a small mess he made. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to large lizards, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I believe in providing the highest quality of care and an enthusiastic about engaging with your animals. A lot of people tend to thing that animals, especially cats, only require the bare minimum, but the reality is that for the best quality of life they need consistent and engaged care. To me this means deep cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they’re cleaned at least once a day, cleaning bowls regularly, engaging in active play and exercise/mental stimulation, and being patient when shy animals need time to warm up. Leaving your animals is hard—on both of you—having someone you can trust and rely on makes all the difference. I am so excited to meet your pets and give them love. I currently work from home full time but can flex hours where needed or work from any home that has wifi and a place for me to set up. I am passionate about making sure that spaces I am in are safe, comfortable, and clean for your pets. This means that I am also available to provide light cleaning while I am there. I am especially skilled with shy or easily scared animals and have a lot of experience working with them to get used to people. I currently only take pets in my home that are comfortable and non aggressive towards cats. The animals will be separated by floor (boarded animals stay on my first floor) and a baby gate to minimize any potential issues.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a stay at home mom, I have plenty of time to watch your loved ones while you’re away. We have an active but relaxed home. We currently have one extremely friendly, well socialized shepherd mix dog who gets along with every dog he meets. Over the years I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My kids love dogs and are able to let new dog friends acclimate without pestering. We walk the neighborhood every night and play in the backyard. I am a stay at home mom with elementary aged kids. Especially during the school year, I am almost always at home. My husband also works full time from home so there is always someone here to keep an eye on things. We have a great schedule in place for our dog in terms of potty breaks and feeding. We have a fully fenced back yard and a lovely neighborhood full of sidewalks to go on long evening walks. In our home, dogs are part of the family. They are allowed on the couch and sleep in our bedroom. Our dog has a nice schedule for feeding and going potty and he loves sunbathing on the back patio.

About: Howdy, I’m Moose! (Please only call me by my government name if you’re my mom, otherwise I think I’m in trouble) I’m based in North Portland with my dog, George, and my cat, Kevin. I do freelance and consulting work, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and room for regular visits or the occasional extra hand. I offer dog walks and pet drop-ins, plus daytime care in my home on a case-by-case basis after we’ve met and made sure our pets get along. I have reliable transportation, so we can also talk about help with grooming appointments, vet visits, or an outing. Tell me what your pet’s used to and what would make your day easier. I’m happy to hear the whole rundown. Having a reactive dog myself, I know there’s sometimes a little more to explain than where the leash is. My dad owned pet stores when I was growing up, so animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with family dogs, have had three of my own, and now care for George and Kevin. I’ve cared for dogs recovering from injuries, given insulin injections to dogs with diabetes, and managed medications. I’ve also taken puppy training classes. George attended a three-week board-and-train program, and I learned skills from his trainers that we still use today. We’re both still practicing. I’m used to paying attention to triggers, giving animals space, and following a routine. If you’re working on training, I’m happy to follow your approach so things stay consistent. I’ll take your instructions seriously, keep you updated, and give your pet time to get comfortable with me. If cost is a barrier, you’re welcome to ask about reduced rates or other ways to make care work. I’d especially like to be a resource for older neighbors, people recovering from injuries, and my BIPOC and queer community. I can’t accommodate every request, but we can talk—no need to give me your whole financial history. Send me your neighborhood, what kind of help you need, and a little about your pet. Happy to meet before we make plans. I do freelance and consulting work, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My own dog and cat already run the household; I mostly handle transportation and open things for them. There’s room in the day for yours, too. Let me know what their usual day looks like, and we’ll figure out what works. I have a car, so if you need a hand with a grooming appointment, vet visit, or an outing for your little homebody, ask! With a little planning, I may be able to help. My place has a patio for supervised lounging, a dog run in the building, and Peninsula Park nearby for checking the neighborhood pee-mail. We can keep things active or take the scenic route with plenty of sitting. I appreciate both. I have a dog and cat of my own, so we’ll talk through introductions and make sure everyone’s comfortable before arranging a stay. At your place, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep things tidy, and respect whatever complicated arrangement they have with the furniture. Meals, walks, play, medications we’ve discussed, and company—I’ll take care of the details and keep you in the loop.
“Shannon was amazing! We booked with her unbelievably last-minute, and yet she was able to help us with recurring dog walks over a few days while we were out of town. Our dog is large and be intimidating to some but Shannon was able to navigate her initial fear/aggression and they became fast friends. We couldn't recommended her enough!”

“Amanda did a phenomenal job walking my shepherd mix for a week! She’s incredibly thorough and thoughtful, writes clear, informative reports, and shares lots of photos. Most importantly, she’s trustworthy and my pup adores her! My pup can be a little fearful and also had some tummy issues and Amanda handles it like a pro! We can’t wait to have her back!”

“Jamie is awesome!! She’s super responsive/communicative, kind, and very considerate of my rescue pup’s specific needs. My dog, Nala, loved her immediately, and I felt immediately at ease that she was in good hands with Jamie.”

About: I’ve walked and cared for family and friends dogs. Also my two dogs are such a huge part of my life, I love spending time w them and all dogs. I generally only work about twenty four hours a week. That way I have plenty of time for dog walking and caring for my own dogs. I have a fenced yard that is almost an acre. I also have a 3 year old pup and a 5 year old for play time.
About: I've been taking care of pups in my free time for four years now, I used to work in a bar and meeting the dogs who come in with their humans created my love for it. Now that I am no longer in the bar industry, I am petsitting full time! Petsitting is my primary job. Getting to love on your animals like they are my own is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world and I'm so happy I get to do this for a living. I would be staying in your home with your dogs/cats making sure they get all their meals, meds, potty breaks and playtime they would need!
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my entire life and recently moved to Vancouver from San Francisco, where I provided pet care through Rover. I’m excited to continue caring for dogs here and look forward to giving your pet the same love, attention, and reliable care I would give my own. I work from home full time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet throughout the day. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet your furry friend! At home, I take breaks from my work from home job to take my roomie's dog (or yours!) out for walks every few hours and to get some fresh air.
About: I have availability 24/7 to care! Even as a kid, I’m the one who spent the most time with our pets! Will follow your example instructions just how you want! I’m currently not working, so I have all the time to take care of your pet. No schedule conflicts, so you don’t have to worry :) I have a small place, without much to do outside. But there’s a park less than 3 minutes away for walks. There are stairs to my place as I live on the second floor
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life. We had 2 Doberman when I was a baby which led to me always having a dog or cat in my life. I'd love to meet yours! I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I am available for short, elderly walks to long, youthful puppy runs. Ready to talk, feel free to shoot a message over to talk about your needs for your animals :D I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I like to ensure your pet has a clean, safe environment. All hazards will be picked up promptly, as well as any potty spotted in the yard or accidents in the house.
About: I have been been dog sitting since I was in high school and love it. I first started by watching some of my friend's family dogs and am now looking to expand to others! I have been trusted to walk dogs, feed, and I have even given medications and shots to dog so am familiar with caring for elderly/sick dogs. I have taken some of my own family's dogs to training programs so am familiar with standard dog training practices. I’m currently unemployed so have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am free weekdays and weekends both day and night! Since I am not working at the moment, my schedule is very open and flexible. I live in an apartment building so don’t have a yard. I take my own dog on many walks a day and take him outside when needed. My own dog is not crate trained and is used to being out and roaming the house while we are at work. But he can also be closed in our bedroom to keep your dog comfortable, if needed.
About: Very detailed with following the instructions of pet owners and giving attentive care to pets in a loving and nurturing environment with walking services and in home care. I’ve raised 3 cats over 18 years, but they have all passed on. I’ve also provided dog care to family and friends over the past 10 years. I have integrated animal care into my standard routine on an as need basis, sometimes more heavily than other times, but it all works out in the end. I give them plenty of room to play and exercise and feed them 1-2 times a day. With dog’s I walk them every 2-4 hours and provide them with a fenced back yard with proper supervision. I would never leave them alone in the back yard unattended.
About: From owning a dog boarding business, volunteering in rescue and adopting older dogs I have worked with dogs for 25 years. I have past clients bring their dogs to me from 25 miles away. I am retired, my mornings till 1pm are open. In the afternoon I watch my grandson. I am available after 5 as well till 9 pm I have a fully fenced yard, small doggy door and 4 elderly small dogs. Why just a kennel when my livingroom is open. I love my furry friends
About: With 5+ years of experience looking after dogs and cats, I am particularly equipped to look after big dogs, rambunctious puppies, and noisy cats. I’m an excellent communicator who is reliable, attentive, and responsive to your instructions and your pet’s needs. I take their wellbeing very seriously, and I have a lot of patience and energy to give your pets all the attention they need. I’m typically available every day of the week from 10am-5pm and also available to do overnight stays on Mondays-Wednesdays. I am a recent college grad who has been taking part-time and seasonal jobs for the past several months as I apply for more consistent part-time and full-time work. My schedule is currently wide open, and I will promptly communicate any changes in my availability to you as they come up. I am a responsible and detail-oriented petsitter, and I prioritize pet safety. I keep the owner(s)' house locked, cleaned, and treat all your belongings with respect. I stick to your pets' regular schedule of feeding, medication, playtime, and anything else as delineated by you to maintain their routine and avoid stressing your animals out. I also send consistent updates to owners to ease their worry and ask clarifying questions as they come up to ensure your pets are getting the care and attention they need. I make sure to keep your contact info and all relevant medical info handy at all times in case of emergency, and am quick to act with integrity and preparedness when pets are in danger.
“Jessica is great with Jasper! You can easily see how caring she is toward her furry friend and her profession. Jessica comunicates well, and follows direction. We'd love to have her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vancouver
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!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Vancouver is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,317 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Vancouver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 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.
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.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vancouver. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
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.
