“Andrea took care of our three dogs for a second time over Christmas. She treated them as though they were her own furkids! The dogs and the house were in excellent condition when we arrived home. Andrea is very responsive and sends lots of updates, which helps put me at ease. I trust her to watch my pets, and would highly rec her to watch yours as well. Thank you, Andrea for sharing your Christmas with our dog family.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, and I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog! With over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, I'm comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by animals, including a husky, cats, and horses. I later worked at a professional boarding kennel, where I was responsible for caring for 10+ dogs at a time. My duties included feeding, exercising, cleaning, and ensuring every dog received proper care and attention. I've also provided in-home pet sitting for households with multiple high-energy dogs and have extensive experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. In addition to my professional experience, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, working with dogs, cats, and small animals with a wide range of personalities and behavioural needs. I'm especially patient with nervous or shy dogs and love earning their trust at their own pace. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, plenty of playtime, or a calm and reassuring presence, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making pet care part of my regular routine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or companionship while you're away, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that suits their needs! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With experience working in a professional boarding kennel and volunteering at an animal shelter, I'm comfortable caring for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, maintain established feeding and exercise routines, and pay close attention to changes in behaviour or signs of discomfort. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect as my own. I'm also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had experience with all kinds of different animals throughout my life; cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and even a few chickens and goats. I currently have 2 young cats but also have some experience with more elderly dogs and cats as well as looking after friend’s pets here and there. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and am happy to look after pets of all ages! I work remotely which makes pet sitting very easy and can take breaks during the day to take dogs for potty breaks if needed and am always around to make sure cats get lots of playtime! Am able to take dogs for walks before and after work hours. My cats are indoor/outdoor cats but come inside every night before sundown. I love my cats more than anything and treat all animals the same as I would my own
About: We’re experienced, reliable pet sitters with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Through TrustedHousesitters, we’ve completed around 20 sits caring for a wide range of pets - everything from tiny Chihuahuas to large Akitas, energetic puppies to senior animals needing extra patience and care. We’re comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and special needs, including administering medication and supporting older pets. Animals have always been a big part of our lives. I grew up on a farm surrounded by chickens, ducks, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, hamsters, and gerbils, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. Felipe grew up with dogs and even helped start a community initiative in Colombia to find homes for street dogs - something he’s really passionate about. What sets us apart is the level of care and attention we give. Your pet won’t just be “looked after,” they’ll be genuinely cared for, engaged with, and loved. Pet care fits easily into our daily routine because we both work and study remotely. I work 8am–4pm PST with a lunch break and flexible breaks throughout the day, while Felipe has a fully flexible self-study schedule. This means one (or both) of us is almost always available for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. We’re currently travelling while pet sitting and are looking for opportunities in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. We treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re our own. We’re experienced in: Administering medication Handling pets with different temperaments Cleaning, feeding, and maintaining routines Coordinating vet or grooming visits if needed We love staying active, so if your dog enjoys long walks or hikes, we’re more than happy to provide that extra level of exercise and enrichment. Above all, we focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away.
“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!”

“Michele was wonderful and everything went perfectly. Michele sent pictures of the walks and kept me informed at all times. Great communication and prompt in our initial meet. My first experience using Rover and was a great siccess”
About: Hi, I’m Ashana! I am a recently graduated university student with a flexible schedule to dedicate time and attention to your pets. Whether that is a midday walk, playtime, or a drop in I am here to make sure your pet feels loved. I have an active lifestyle and love being outside, so I am more than happy for taking high energy dogs on long walks to burn off steam. I am also incredibly detail-oriented and observant, so I will closely follow any specific feeding routines, medication schedules, or other rules in place. I have grown up with dogs and cats of my own and family members and have lots of experience with taking care of animals of all kinds! Leaving your furry family member at home can be stressful, so I will send detailed updates and photos so you know they are in great hands! I hope to meet you and your pets! I currently am working from home and in between roles at the moment so I am flexible with different times for pet care! I will have plenty of time to do drop in visits, midday walks, or pet play time. I can coordinate schedules based on need for daily or weekly needs. I no longer have my own pet in my own home but have plenty of dog toys and dog beds. Our backyard is gated and fenced for plenty of space to run around! I am comfortable caring for dogs and ensuring they have an enriched time!

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 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
