“As always, Holly is an amazing caregiver for our cat. Maya was feeling a bit under the weather and Holly brought the cat food she feeds her pets to see if that settled her stomach. Thanks Holly for providing us peace of mind that Maya is always well looked after.”
“James came to do a drop in for my 1yrold yorkie and feed him dinner. He let me know that my little guy wasn't doing very well, he hadnt been left alone for long before. He went above and beyond and stayed with John longer. I'm extremely grateful for the kindness he showed John by staying with him. He also came to do a meet up with John before time. I highly recommend him. Thankyou James for taking such good care of my boy!! I truly appreciate it!!”
“We love Emilie! Emilie has walked Nala many many maaany times while I am at work. After each visit she sends me a message about what they got up to & a lot of photos. She is able to handle my dogs many quirks 🤣 I know Nala is in good hands when she is with Emilie. Thank you!!!”
“Taylor was so great looking after Felix !! He wasn’t feeling well when I left and she took extra care with him. Extra steps mixing his food and just checking on his poop and water intake. I wouldn’t have went so long on my trip but knowing she cared so much made all the difference. Felix bonded with her and you could tell by the videos he enjoyed her company and care. I will have her look after him again.”
“Alexis provided great care for my cat Cleo! She provided daily updates and was very communicative. I felt completely at ease knowing that she was caring for Cleo while I was away. I would definitely recommend Alexis!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs throughout my childhood. I currently have a young dog of my own and have experience training with her. I am comfortable working with different breeds,sizes, and ages. I have previously volunteered with the SPCA. I work full-time four days a week currently but very early mornings. Evenings are very open and weekends as well. With enough advance notice I am able to work with your schedule. I have experience watching dogs in homes and can crate your dog if needed. I am active and love taking dogs for walks if you’d like. I am good with working with anxious dogs.
“Ashlie took care of my dog when my care for him fell through last minute. She was so attentive to my many instructions, and he was in good spirits when I returned home. I put a lot of trust in her and she completely came through for me and Goose ?”
“At the 1st meet and greet, Victoria and Kurtis were very helpful in getting our 1 dog, Rosie, to warm up quicker than usual! they are both knowledgeable, and experienced with many different dog situations, They were both eager to learn their routines, schedule, and behaviours, which helped make me feel comfortable leaving our 2 dogs. I would highly recommend and will be rebooking! Thanks, Victoria and Kurtis!”
“Thank you Ashley! Ashley checked in on our cat in our home every day for a week while we were away and she did a fantastic job, going above and beyond in all aspects. Photos of our cat were sent daily and she accomodated all of our senior cats needs. We applaud Ashleys integrity, compassion, professionalism and reliability! Highly recommend!”
About: ***Currently only accepting house-sitting, and drop in visits!**** My experience with big dogs includes pitties, cane corsos, great danes and rotties; big dogs are a joy - my only requirement is that they are adequately leash trained. I am great with cats (I have a princess of my own) and am pretty good at relaxing stressful kitties. I also have experience with reptiles if that is something you're in need of! All (cat friendly) dogs are welcome here! I am home full time, so walks come often in whatever quantity your furry friend needs! Dogs have full run of the home, and leashed + monitored access to a patio surrounded by trees. Cuddles are freely given and the couch and bed are free real estate. (I have special place in my heart for yorkies and pitties. ) I have experience with collies, pitbulls, and plenty of dogs in between! Dogs must be cat friendly (or willing to ignore) There's a lady in the house! Currently I am studying at uni part time, so I am pretty flexible, as long as I have a day or two's notice to fit it in my calendar! I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, cats (and reptiles!) from the puppy stage to senior fur babies. I can administer oral medications if that is something your pet needs.
“Goku is such an amazing cat sitter and we are so pleased that our shy cat, Winter, has warmed up fast to him and made him comfortable. He was diligent and follows instructions. He goes above and beyond. Will definitely ask him to cat sit our cats again!”
“Gordo is ALWAYS so excited to see her, it makes me happy and feel at ease to see. We will be having her for as long as she does pet sitting. Gordo always has fun with her and is a happy boy.”
About: My Response time 8am-8pm! Hi! I’m Gabriella, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. I’ve been raised around both dogs and cats my entire life, so understanding their personalities, needs, and quirks comes naturally to me. Whether it's an energetic pup who needs plenty of playtime or a shy dog who prefers gentle company, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and understood. I offer dog walking, dog boarding, and doggy daycare, all with a focus on safety, structure, and affection. My goal is to give every dog a fun, comforting, and positive experience while giving you peace of mind. With me, your pet gets: Reliable walks tailored to their energy level A cozy, home-style boarding environment instead of a stressful kennel Interactive, enriching daycare with play, downtime, and plenty of attention Constant communication and updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and turning that passion into a service for others is something I’m genuinely excited about. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family—because to me, they are. I have animals myself, i live being surrounds by them it doe not feel like work when you love the companionship! I spend a lot of my free time with them! I have a big back yard with plenty of room to run! And live so close to lakes! So lots of dog friendly activities near by! They get taken care of in a home environment!

About: I am a fun, high-energy and empathetic individual that has a mutual love with every animal I meet! I am focusing my future career towards helping and easing the stress of pets that are away from their owners. I provide a happy and healthy environment because of my previous work as a veterinary assistant, where I was taught which health signs to look for and how to make an animal as comfortable as possible. In addition, I have 12 years of dog-walking, dog-sitting and cat-sitting experience, including long term clients! I am eager and excited to start meeting new clients to add to my dog walking and pet sitting to my schedule. With my schedule opening, I am available to dog walk Monday-Fridays late morning/early afternoon. I also have some remaining overnight Pet Sitting slots available for 2026. Dogs can come use my backyard to run around, instead of a daily walk. Pet sitting is preferred at the client's home but I am very flexible and experienced. I have done all types of pet sitting and can work with whatever works best for everyone!
About: I grew up on a farm and have cared for a wide variety of animals. Dogs hold a special place in my heart as they are indeed, mans best friend I currently work full time. However outside of my daily work schedule I have large amounts of free time that I want to fill with caring for animals.

Pet 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!
Ashley was great Came over for a meet and greet before: Teddy is a little slower to warm up to new people compared to Maggie. Ashley went as his pace and very soon he was hanging out with her while we talked. She is knowledgeable about cats. She did a great job looking after our cats. We would use her again
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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
