About: I've had the joy of caring for dogs for over 20 years, both my own and for friends and family. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve provided everything from playful walks to medication support and cozy cuddle time. I’m retired and home full time, so your dog will get lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and loving supervision throughout the day. What sets me apart is the calm, nurturing environment I provide. I treat every dog like part of the family! with patience, kindness, and affection. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. Whether your pup needs a quiet place to relax, a slow paced walk, or just someone to sit with them on the couch, I’m here to help. My gentle nature and calm home are especially ideal for senior dogs, shy pups, or dogs who need a little extra reassurance while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a dog owner and lover, I’m home full time and available throughout the day to give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening cuddle time, I’m here and fully present. My son Alexander also helps out daily, especially with walks, playtime, and making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and companionship. Between the two of us, your pet will never be left alone, we work together to keep their routine consistent, stress free, and full of love. Weekdays and weekends are both flexible for us, so we’re able to accommodate early drop offs & late pickups! I live in a quiet, pet friendly strata complex with a fenced grassy backyard, perfect for safe & supervised potty breaks and some fresh air. When more activity is needed, I take dogs on leashed walks in our peaceful neighborhood to give them a change of scenery and a chance to stretch their legs. Inside, there’s plenty of room for zoomies, toys, and relaxed downtime. I keep the home calm, clean, and free of hazards, and I always make sure your pet has a cozy space to feel safe and comfortable. Your dog will be supervised throughout the day and never left alone for long. I also believe that clear communication is key. I’ll always ask about your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. Whether it's feeding times, potty routines, or favorite toys, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. Your pup's well being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and with my son Alexander helping me every step of the way, your furry friend will always have a familiar, caring presence by their side.

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.

“We can't thank Christina enough for taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog (Bailey) on our wedding day! Christina took the initiative to meet Bailey ahead of the wedding day to make sure she knew all important information and so Bailey would feel the most comfortable. She also provided us with ample updates and photos- we couldn't ask for a better dogsitter, highly recommend!”

“Rebecca watched my dog Poppy for a night in my home and also did a few drop ins. Poppy is an anxious 90 lb senior dog. Rebecca was patient and kind with her, allowing Poppy to warm up to her. I appreciated her flexibility, adjusting her drop in times as needed to fit our schedules and make sure Poppy had her needs met when we were gone. I would be happy to book Rebecca's services in the future.”

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.

About: I've been a long time dog lover and my family has always had pets growing up. From birds to bunnies to puppies, I've had my fair share of pets in my home. Currently, we’ve got two small dogs at home. I strongly believe that our pets are equal members of the family like us, and deserve to be treated so. Over the last few years, I've been repeatedly asked to dog, cat, and house sit by my friends and family. They were great learning experiences for me since I learned how to care for different animals with all sorts of personalities. I'm able to care for puppies, seniors, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I can administer medication orally or into ears and I consider myself quite good at potty training puppies. While I am younger and still learning, I know I'm very responsible and I tend to just click with most animals. FYI - Muskaan is my first name and Hannah is my middle, I go by Hannah, trying to figure out how to change it on my profile I’m currently a full time student at UFV so my studies are my top priority. However, I’m great at managing my time and my schedule is flexible. Currently, I’m available for pet sitting any day of the week. Due to the lack of space and the fact that my dogs are anxious, I cannot offer services in my own home. But, according to what you, your animals, and your space need - I'm able to accommodate and adapt my care. My number one priority is your pup's health and safety at all times. I'm able to take them out for potty breaks and walks as often as needed. I'm experienced with different types of harnesses and collars so they'll always be secure in my care. Also, I LOVE playing with and attempting* to train dogs so you can be sure they'll be mentally and physically stimulated with me. Regarding more specific needs (ie. they like to escape, not allowed on furniture, dietary needs, etc etc) I'm able to accommodate for them. I'm well versed with all sorts of dogs with different personalities so your wish is my command!

About: I have taken care of 4 of my own pets until they passed over. When I pet sit, they take my entire attention. I love to play fetch, or any games they want to play. House sitting, water plants, tidy house. I am retired, so I have time on my hands and love cats and dogs. I have pet sat for 15 plus years. All by the way of word of mouth. I always keep dogs on a leach when outside. While I have a yard, it is hedged but not gated. Ensure pets are fed on time. I make sure there they have fresh water for their bowls. As well I ensure they are comfortable at bed time. I clean their indoor papers or clean outside following each toilet times.

I can provide frequent company, regular outdoor breaks, walks, exercise, and lots of attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I love being outdoors and staying active, so I’m happy to tailor our days to your pet’s individual needs, energy level, and routine I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines.

I am comfortable caring for dogs and ensuring they have an enriched time!

I had a wonderful experience with Rosalie looking after my cat and pup. She took thorough notes about my dog's routine and medical needs, which gave me a lot of confidence leaving my epileptic pup in her care. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear that my fur babies was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her. Thanks Rosalie.

What a wonderful experience to have Alex look after my baby while I was traveling. He communicated ahead of time, confirming all the details with me, was on time and helpful to get me out the door for my flight. He was wonderful and responsive to my "quirky" cat, bonding almost instantly when they met. It was clear from the pictures and communication I received while I was away that Alex "got him". My little weirdo, and Alex understood the assignment! I could not have been happier! Or so I thought....when I got home at 2am from my trip, the house was spotless, the bedding and towels were in the dryer ready to be put away, the dishes were done .... and as a bonus, I had spilled something in my fridge before I left and apologized that I didn't have time to clean it properly. Well, I came home to a CLEAN FRIDGE!!! I would not hesitate to have Alex look after my baby and my home anytime I go away! If there was a rating above 5 stars, I would have given him that!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Baker Trails

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Baker Trails is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $83 per night. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 351 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Baker Trails. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Baker Trails 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 Baker Trails 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 Baker Trails 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.
