“Can't recommend Frank enough! Extremely professional, punctual, deeply cares for animals . We will definitely be returning customers!!! Our dog was soooo happy and well looked after. Would give 10 stars if I could!”

“We just got back from a 2 week vacation in Mexico and I’m happy to write this review about our experience with Sarah! During our trip Sarah stayed in our home with our puppy Gracie and our senior cat Liam. Sarah sent us pictures every day which was so thoughtful and put our minds at ease as to what was happening at home while we were away. Gracie loved her right from the start! Unfortunately, Gracie developed tummy issues and needed to have a visit to the Vet. Sarah handled the situation like the Pro she is; Calmly, keeping us informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Sarah for any of your pets needs! Thanks Sarah your the Best 💗”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a fun hike, or just some company while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I have experience with high-energy dogs (I have one myself 😅), so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and patience. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. You can expect reliable care, lots of love, and photo updates so you never miss a moment 🐾📸 I’ve been riding horses since I was five years old, i currently have 2 cats, a puppy, 2 goats, and a bunny so I am very comfortable with most animals. My daily routine revolves around caring for animals, and I genuinely love what I do. I’m flexible and available for drop-ins, walks, and in-home care throughout the week. Whether you’re at work or away on vacation, I’m happy to make sure your pets are cared for, exercised, and getting lots of attention. While I’m unable to host pets in my home (I have two cats and a very energetic puppy), I take pride in providing reliable, respectful care in your home where your pets are most comfortable. I treat every home and pet like my own—keeping routines consistent, following instructions closely, and making sure your pet feels safe and stress-free while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you’ll always get updates and photos!
About: I take a hands on approach and will treat your pet like it is my own. I have experience with special need animals and with administering medication. I have experience with training and with dogs with behavioural issues. Currently I work full time and take my lunch break to walk my dog daily. My employer also allows for me to bring my dog to work so I could also provide constant contact with any dog I board if they are good with other people. I am very much a home body so there would little time away from your pet when they are in my care. I take the responsibility of caring for animals as if they are children and have experience of providing this care with several of my friends. I live in a condo in a neighbourhood with lots of near by areas to take dogs for walks. My building is quiet and very pet friendly. My own dog gets along well with other animals once she has been introduced properly.
“Michelle is the best! She’s been walking my senior dachshund who’s partially paralyzed for about a year, and has watched him for a few weekend trips away. I feel more at ease knowing my baby is being so well taken care of.”

“Annelise was wonderful! She looked after our two dogs for a week while we were away, and took fantastic care of them and our home. From the meet and greet, she inspired confidence as she was very sweet with the dogs and asked a lot of questions and details about their care. We felt very comfortable knowing the dogs were in good hands while we were away and will definitely book again for our future travels!”

“Denyell was amazing when she took care of our dog Whitaker. He’s a bit nervous of strangers and doesn’t like all people but he warmed up to her instantly. I would not hesitate to book Denyell again. Her communication and reliability were excellent and we felt very comfortable leaving him with her. We highly recommend her services!!”

About: I absolutely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their families are away. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m happy to keep them active with walks, playtime, or just cozy cuddles on the couch. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures or relaxing inside, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to give your pets the same love and attention that you do, so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I’ve taken care of any dogs fra couch potatoes to active farm dogs and working dogs. I work on weekdays but am able to pop out for an hour every 4th hour. Weekend are open so schedules flexible. I am active so would love to take the dogs for a long walk. I will do what suits your dog. Take them for a walk, play with them, give them some attention. And make sure they have clean water.
About: I’ve always been around furry companions through out. I understand the importance and peace of mind over finding a loving home for our fur babies when we are not around. I currently have a 2 year old ragamuffin cat; He’s leash trained and goes for walk with me also by riding on my shoulder. I understand the importance of enrichment and very mindful about keeping them active, trained and entertained. I have also raised 3 cats and a dog even during their senior years and litter trained their kittens as well. I live and work in Abbotsford. I’m available throughout to provide attentive care, whether it’s for boarding, a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight stay. For boarding, to make sure the pets get along, I do have seperate rooms until they get along. For walks, I take careful precautions to keep pets safe while ensuring they enjoy a good, stimulating walk. During drop-in visits, I make sure they get attention, playtime, and care as it fits naturally into their day. I provide care in the pet’s own home, following their usual routine and engaging with them according to their activity needs.
“Lily was wonderful. I knew my very active needy dogs were in good hands when we were away. Lily was confident which allowed me to feel the same. My dogs were well taken care of and she provided more service than expected. My dogs 2 German Shepherds can be a challenge at the best of times to walk but Lily felt very comfortable walking them which was fabulous. We have a decent size yard so i didn't expect Lily to take them out but she did, which is so good for them. I 100% will be requesting Lily again. House was clean, she was very accommodating to our changing schedule and was always accessible. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I’ve done training with multiple dogs, which has helped me build a strong understanding of behaviour—especially with younger pups. I also have a reactive dog, so I’m very comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and creating a calm, safe environment. Because of this, I feel confident caring for dogs with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I’ve provided dog and cat sitting for many families, so I’m used to following different routines and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I always treat every animal like my own. I truly love meeting new people and their pets, and I’d be happy to care for yours! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out 😊 I am currently not working as I just finished my Bachelor's, so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your animal(s). Since owning a reactive dog I know how important it is to have a safe & trusting environment. I also understand the importance of routine and am more than happy to help with that in anyway possible.
About: For as long as i can remember, I've always loved dogs. Pretty much all of my family members had them when I was growing up. But my mom always said no to me getting one. So everywhere I went, when I saw any dog I would always have to go out of my way to say hi to the puppy (I still do this to this day). As I got older I started to realize that everywhere i went, every dog that I would meet would come right to me for love, even if the dog was usually afraid of people. So I felt like I needed to do something with that. I have always had such a passion working with and being around animals. I have previously worked at a doggy day care for over a year, and I've also previously worked at mr pets in Abbotsford for over 4 years, being the main person taking care of all different types of animals. When your pets are in my care I will always show them nothing but love and compassion. I promise, your babies will be in amazing hands. I will play outside (if you have the space in your yard) with your puppies so they get all their energy out and I will take them on walks around your neighborhood (if leash trained) when house sitting or if asked to go for walks! Your babies will get the utmost attention and cuddles while they are in my care that I promise you will never have a thing to worry about. Whether I am coming to just take your dog out for a walk, to spend some time with them or to watch them while you are away, your babies will be very well taken care of. With lots of playtime, cuddles and exercise. ( I love all animals, so depending on what type of pet you have, we can work out prices for the animal(s) you'd need taken care of) 🐶🐱🐹🐭🦔🐇🐍🐦🐠🦜🦎 PLEASE READ. I have 5 cats of my own that are not dog friendly. So unfortunately I cannot dog sit in my own home. But I am more than happy to come to your home and watch your fur babies as i find it keeps rhe fur babies more comfortable in their safe space. Please if you are interested in any animal care, feel free to message me to set up an in person meet and great so I can meet you and your fur babies and we can proceed from there!
“Sarah was amazing!! She’s so skilled and loving! She looked after our Bruno and he loved her. She also sent updates and pictures the whole time, will for sure be asking for her to dog sit again in the future!”
“Aimee did such an incredible job as our house/dog sitter! We felt sooo comfortable with her and she took really good care of our dogs while we were gone. We would highly recommend her and hopefully she will be available the next time we go away ;)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abbotsford
Annelise was fantastic with our two cats while we were away for a week! From the meet and greet, we could tell how much Annelise cares for and loves animals. Our cats warmed up to her right away. While we were gone we got updates and pictures which let us feel so comforted knowing they were getting lots of love and attention while we were away. When we returned our cats were calm and happy, and the house was very well cared for as well. We would definitely book with Annelise again for the next trip!

Victoria and her partner were so amazing! We had a couple of last- minute plan changes, and they were so flexible for us! They asked some really thoughtful questions about taking care of our boy, and took such good care of him. We'll definitely be using them again the next time we need a sitter!

Emilie is absolutely amazing!! She took an extra trip to come and meet us and our pup and is someone who my shy Aussie warmed to immediately. She sent me pictures and updates readily and I trust her entirely in our home and with our fur baby. BOOK WITH HER! We are so lucky to have her. Thank you, Emilie!!!

Kaitlin was incredible right from the initial meeting. She came to meet my dog, but even gave my kitties some snuggles while we were chatting. She has really great energy. Very calm. Kaitlin was good about communication and made sure that our pup was well loved!

FAQs for House Sitting - Abbotsford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Abbotsford on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 800 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Abbotsford. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Abbotsford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Abbotsford walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
