About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old confidently. I went to school to become a vet assistant, finished my practicum and worked in a clinic for approximately 3 months, looking to gain more experience outside of the clinic for now! I do have experience with dog aggressive dogs and dogs that pull on leash. I am very patient and am willing to work with your dog to become better on leash. I’m currently working 8-4:30pm in Mission. I am available before and after work. I do have a longer lunch so I can always make stop in during then for a potty break. I’m open to gaining new clients and meeting all your fur babies! Animals all have a good sense in who they want to trust and be around, and I can tell you I have never in my life had a bad experience when first meeting any animal. I understand their personal space and would never push them to like me. If you don’t feel comfortable at first I can come meet you and your pet before any services are provided free of charge to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable with me!
“Faith was the best in so many ways. I needed a last minute cat sitter for my cat, Peanut, and she was so accommodating at my last minute request. Faith is professional yet kind/friendly. Very thorough to asking questions about Peanut, if he had any specific needs, etc. I was so impressed. Faith communicated to me during her visits with Peanut. I will definitely contact Faith next time I need a cat sitter. I highly recommend Faith to care for your pets.”

“Muskaan was fantastic during the drop-in we scheduled for Guero. She responded quickly to our inquiry, took the time to do a meet-and-greet, and arrived right on time for the drop in. She kept us well updated and took great care of our boy. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker.”

About: I grew up around many different types of animals, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, and chickens. I believe that any animals, regardless of appearance, age, attitude, physical condition, etc. deserves the best possible care. I strive to make sure that the animal in my care is comfortable, happy, and content. I am currently working on a private equine facility, but the hours are very flexible. I also aork at a vet clinic, but that is a part time job. I like having the ability to move things around. So long as I have a few days notice, I should be able to work around any schedule. I like to leave homes in the same, if not better condition than when I arrived. I follow instructions well, and will do the best of my ability to give the best care to the pet(s) that I am responsible for. I want the animal(s) to be comfortable and enjoy their time with me.
About: I provide true home-style care where dogs are part of daily life, not just supervised in a space. Their routine is shaped around what helps them feel comfortable — whether that’s active play, calm rest time, or one-on-one attention. With nearly 20 years of professional experience, I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, medications, and special diets. I keep my group small so I can properly supervise interactions and make sure each dog is getting what they need. Dogs enjoy our fully fenced acre, relaxed time inside the home, enrichment activities, and walks depending on their energy level. I also send photo updates throughout their stay so you can see how they’re settling in and enjoying their time here. 🐾 ABOUT ME Dogs staying here aren’t just supervised — they’re welcomed into daily life and cared for like part of the family. I’ve been caring for animals professionally for nearly 20 years, and animals have always been part of my life. This is my full-time work, and my focus is always on making sure pets feel safe, understood, and comfortable while their owners are away. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, and training support. What makes my care different is that it’s fully tailored to each animal. Some dogs need movement and stimulation, others need quiet structure and reassurance — I adjust their day so they feel settled and comfortable. My partner Dave and my teenager are part of the home, so visiting pets are surrounded by calm, familiar human presence, extra playtime, and lots of affection. I also share photo updates throughout your pet’s stay at meaningful moments — their first night settling in, a fun adventure outside, a relaxed nap, or those small snapshots that show how they’re really doing here. My goal is to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I also offer dog training support — if you’re interested, we can talk about your goals at the meet and greet and build a plan that works for your dog. 🌿 MY HOME & SETUP We live on a fully fenced acre where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, plus additional acreage for leashed nature walks and exploring. Dogs here have: • Secure yard space for play • Access to the home for rest or lounging • Quiet areas when they need downtime • Enrichment activities and walks as suited to them Pets sleep wherever they’re comfortable — couch, dog bed, or their own crate if they bring one. I take a maximum of 6 dogs at a time so everyone gets proper attention and supervision. ⭐ Schedule Every day here looks a little different depending on the group and their personalities. I focus on balance rather than strict timing. Days may include: • Yard time or outdoor breaks • Nature or community walks for those signed up • Enrichment play and stimulation activities • Rest periods so animals stay calm and regulated • Feeding times based on each pet’s routine I also share photo updates at key moments so you can see how your pet is settling and enjoying their time. I keep my group small so I can supervise properly and ensure everyone is comfortable. My fenced yard allows safe outdoor time, and I monitor group dynamics closely to prevent stress or conflict. I’m experienced with medications, special diets, and behavioral considerations, and I communicate openly so you feel confident while your pet is here.

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. I am pretty flexible right now, I start dance again in September so I will update this when I know my schedule a little bit better. BUT just message me and usually I can make it work if I don’t have any other house settings going on. I can be pretty flexible and whatever your needs are for your pets. I will always do my best to make sure your dog is looked after.
“Sara has been such a lifesaver since we brought home our new puppy and have since gone back to work. It is such a relief knowing someone who is caring, reliable and responsible that we can count on to check in and make sure everything’s okay during the day. Sara is consistently communicative and always sends cute photos to keep me updated during visits. She has also been very tolerant of our older dog who is stranger-anxious, which is so appreciated. I would not hesitate whatsoever to recommend Sara to anyone looking for a responsible and kind pet friend:)”

About: In my pre-Canada days, I had a blast caring for pets! I trained my award-winning German Shepherd (Jessie) to be a little champ at 5 months old and supported her as she navigated the challenges and stresses of motherhood for the first time, helping her become a great mom to her puppies. A furry tale of cats and character was brought to me by Umka, the feline queen, and her adventurous kittens were a little bundle of surprises that turned my life into a delightful circus. Now in the land of maple leaves, my experience in caring for a cat clan and a faithful dog sets elevate my pet sitting service. I combine instinctive empathy with a flair for fun, offering your pets a uniquely attentive and engaging stay, where their happiness is my priority. I am working from home most days of the week and my family just moved to a townhouse with a backyard and a park right outside the fence. Pet care works well with my schedule and I am highly flexible with my time. 1150 sqf of space for running (and sleeping) + a fenced backyard in a pet friendly neighborhood and 2 dog parks one block of each other
About: Only Accept One Dog at a Time Why We Started Rover Our beloved dog, Hockey, passed away in September 2025 at the incredible age of 19 years and 11 months. After nearly two decades together, our home felt empty. We joined Rover because we missed having dogs in our lives. Today, every dog who stays with us is welcomed like family and cared for with the same love, patience, and respect that Hockey inspired. Every dog is different. Before each stay, we take the time to learn about your dog's personality, routines, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. We carefully follow your instructions so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Daily Updates We know you'll miss your furry family member, so we'll send plenty of photos and videos throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind that they're happy, safe, and loved. While you're enjoying your vacation, your dog will be enjoying theirs—a true 5-Star Home Stay & Play experience. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. I’m working from home during weekdays, so your dog will always have company and attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. I make sure they get plenty of exercise each day and am happy to run with them at the nearby soccer field In our home, we care for pets as if they were our own—offering plenty of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. We follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, to keep them comfortable and happy. Outdoor time is always supervised in our little fenced yard, Whether it’s cuddle time or quiet time, we adjust to each dog’s unique needs so they feel right at home.
“Feena gave us so much peace of mind while we were away because she has prior experience with animals. We needed someone to come in and help our elderly kitty with her sub-q fluids and Feena did this and also sent us lots of photos which was so nice! We’ll definitely hire her again!”
About: I understand how tricky it can be to find reliable sitter for your family member, I really do! So I share with you 16 years of hands-on pet care experience, where I have developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and well-being. I have cared for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals, providing services such as daily walks, feeding, grooming, administering medications, and ensuring a safe, loving environment. My approach is attentive and personalized—I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and any special requirements. Whether it’s supporting high-energy dogs, caring for senior pets, or helping anxious animals feel comfortable, I prioritize patience, consistency, and trust. Pet owners can rely on me for responsible, compassionate care and clear communication, knowing their pets are treated with the same love and attention as my own. My work hours are flexible so you can be assured that your pet will never be alone for longer than a few hours at a time, that's great yes? Our backyard is fully fenced and I always keep my eye on if your dog is outside so you can feel comfortable if he stays with me!
About: I have had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember! I have trained and raised my own dog and have cared for older dogs. I love animals so much and am looking forward to caring for your furry friend! I love animals so caring for them would fit into my weekend schedule as well as alternate Fridays. I am open to taking dogs for walks or spending a weekend with them. I love to be next to animals all the time so your pet will receive all the love and connection in my care! I provide in home services as well as walking.

About: My love and compassion for all animals (in fact, ALL living things) is unconditional. Animals can sense this and return that love to me. Throughout my life I’ve had five pet "partners" two of which were dogs, including: Sox (m.) my boisterous bichon shih-tzu, from 1999 to 2011; Miss Inky (f.) my special shih-tzu, sadly only from 1996 to 1998; Greecy (m.) the “grey panther” my Burmese cat, from 1984 to 1988. That’s my pet short story which I liked sharing as much as I hope you liked reading. Currently my days and nights are free except when I am out of town in Alberta for a short work contract. Pet care presents no disruption to my routine. Crating can be used only if and when required either in my home or at your home. As my yard is not fenced, we go to the nearby park. Inside play is with a toy or a ball which I provide.
About: I am pretty good with dogs. I love to walk and play around with them. I am very flexible with my hours I really love and enjoy morning walks with dogs. I think it's very relaxing to start your day doing with something you love. Record anything wrong with the dog, such as coughing, bloody stools, cuts, etc. Managed schedule via phone, email, and text message. Maintain a healthy and loving relationship with the animals. Work independently in creating an efficient daily route and schedule. Picked up and dropped off dogs to and from their homes. Understood special request and conditions for each dog.Walked dogs outdoors in all weather conditions (anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours at a time). Refreshed water, wiped paws and gave treats. I am very flexible with my schedule pretty much any days works for me. Just make sure to give me a day for cancellation . I allow pets on my bed or furnitures and I will make sure the are safe and if you require I will walk them the next morning

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Abbotsford
Maelyn was great with Pacho. He is a senior who can sometimes be a bit stubborn and just needs someone who can be patient, as all he likes to do is sniff and roll around in the grass lol. He seemed comfortable with her and she did great following instructions, and communicates great! Would highly recommend her!

Muskaan was fantastic during the drop-in we scheduled for Guero. She responded quickly to our inquiry, took the time to do a meet-and-greet, and arrived right on time for the drop in. She kept us well updated and took great care of our boy. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Abbotsford is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 1,204 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Abbotsford. About 86% of Abbotsford 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Abbotsford 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!
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.
sitters 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 sitter.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
