About: Throughout my life, I have cared for animals, primarily dogs. I am continually expanding my experience. For eleven years now, I have been vegan, which illustrates my compassion for animals. I have limited working proficiency in French and Spanish. I am looking for extra work outside my regular schedule. I am available all day on weekends, as well as mornings, late afternoons and evenings during the weekdays. I have never owned a dog before, but I’m hopeful I will someday. I have taken care of dogs through family and friends, and I am constantly expanding my experience in this area. I plan to care for your dog with compassion, skill, attentiveness, and a sense of adventure.
“Kevin did an excellent job pet sitting for our two indoor cats. He was very good with the cats, and everything was clean and tidy when we got home. He sent regular updates while we were gone. We definitely recommend Kevin as a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had a variety of pets since I was little and cared for them well. I am the go to for my friends and family when they are away. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and fish. I currently work from home so I am flexible with my availability daily and weekly. I also have a separate space for pets who need their own area to feel comfortable if they are staying with me. I have parks and trails for daily dog walking. I am able to be flexible with pets needs in my home or at a client’s home. As a pet parent myself, I also have experience with pet grooming and administering medications if needed.
“Christina was great with sitting my cat and dog! My pup was absolutely enamoured with her. My cat has high needs, needs eye drops multiple times throughout the day, oral medications, and can't reliably get around and Christina was able to keep him safe and comfortable. Thank you so much for all you've done for them!”
“Sarah stayed with our cats and house-sat for a week during one of the hottest weeks of the summer! Not only did she take great care of the kitties, she also took treat care of the house and the gardens ensuring everything was properly maintained during our absence. We got regular updates and photos of all the cats from her, and she was very responsive to any messages sent her way. We have no hesitation re-booking or recommending Sarah for any pet parents out there!”
“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.”
“Kelsey is the best!! My pup was so well taken care of and Kelsey gave amazing check-ins everyday. I came home and Lilah didn’t want to see her go. Highly recommend! THANK YOU KELSEY!”
“I was trying to widen my circle of care for my beloved dog, Tessa. Upon meeting Megan, I found her to be kind, caring, personable and patient. I was very lucky and grateful to have Megan take care of Tessa at the time I needed her most, during our family vacation. Megan was the only person I truly wanted to take care of Tessa while we were away. She also helped us with Tessa's transition, secured our home and ensured everything was in working order. In the future, when we welcome a new family member that walks on all fours, I would be happy to have Megan dog sit for us again. Thank you Megan”
About: I have had animals of my own over the years as well as caring for neighbours animals and several pet sitting jobs. I love to snuggle and chat with pets! My schedule is currently pretty open, I have experience living at home with pets and just dropping in. I am very go with the flow and can make lots work! I have a fenced back yard if need be, I always aim to have a leash on pets just for peace of mind (if outside).
About: Having been raised in a family where our dog used to sleep on the same bed as me, I treat them as my siblings. And the same gene is passed to my son as well!! I’m currently working precariously so will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have a 4 year old toddler who just loves pets and animals in general. The pups will get his company after he’s back from daycare. I’m available for boarding as well. I have a backyard and company of a toddler that will keep him busy and playful. I can also give a room for himself in the crate if needed. My family usually get very cuddly with pets and treats them as equal (sometimes more) so they sleep with us on bed, eat with us and then short pee walk in the morning. I’m usually an early morning person. And it’s followed up with a longer walk later. I have a 6 year old so pick and drop with dog is included. I have a small fenced yard and enough space on the living room to play around and keep them active! We love to play fetch ball, tug of war and more!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Agassiz 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Agassiz 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 Agassiz 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, a background 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
