We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again ♥️”

“When we looked on Rover for the first time, we thought we were looking for our puppy’s first sitter. Instead - we found him a second loving home and family (not to mention - new friends of ours)! Viktoriia and Henry are amazing caretakers - full of experience, intimate care, love and affection. All throughout our puppy’s stay, they were attentive in their genuine personal care for our puppy and provided updates to ease our mind and heart. Their home is clean and doggy safe, with a great nearby outdoor environment for all your doggy’s needs. Most importantly - Viktoriia and Henry are incredibly caring people and pet lovers, and it shows in their care - period. Thank you for a great stay, and Buster says ‘See you soon again!’”

This was a great experience.”

About: I've helped care for my friends cats as well as my own cats for years! I became a cat person after living with my roommates cat, and never looked back! I understand the unique needs of cats, and how necessary it is to understand each one individually, as they are all so different. I've worked with all kinds of litter (from pellets to traditional clay), foods (from kibble to raw), and cat personalities (from aggressive attack on sight types, to needy, to chill).
“We are so thankful for Trudy looking after our cat for two weeks. She invited us over before hand to look at the space and do a little meet and greet.

He also made sure to play with our cat every time he visited her and she truly warmed up to him, although usually she keeps to herself. Would a 100% book again :)”
“Sara is a super attentive, knowledgeable and caring cat sitter. She was willing to take my cat Strudel for him first rover experience over a long weekend and provided thoughtful care and frequent video updates to me. He had his own room and ensuite to help him feel safe in a new environment. Unfortunately Strudel played hide and seek in the house with Sara near the end of the visit but was found safe and sound. Sara generously came by to drop off an item left behind after his stay. Thank you!”
“Good communication and prompt responses throughout. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates showing what Taco was getting up to. It was clear from the photos that he was comfortable, happy, and making himself right at home. He needed no transition time when he returned home and was immediately his usual happy self. Would definitely use this sitter again. :)”

About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, including giving meds and handling shy or anxious kitties. I’m also not afraid of litter box duty — I actually find it satisfying to keep their space clean and comfortable. I know how particular cats can be, and I always take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and happy.
About: 🐱 Cat Care Experience (10+ Years) I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats, starting in college when my roommate had a cat and I helped with daily care. That’s when I truly fell in love with cats 💕 Eight years ago, I adopted my own cat, and have cared for him as a family member ever since. I’m very attentive to small changes in behavior, appetite, and litter box habits, and I always keep the litter box clean. I also have hands-on experience caring for a diabetic cat, including insulin injections, glucose monitoring, and medication management 💉 Through consistent and careful care, his diabetes is now close to remission. ✨ What sets me apart: strong observation skills, medical care experience, patience, and genuine love for cats. I treat every cat as if they were my own.

“Connie once again was a great, reliable, and responsive sitter for our corgi, Kuma. She shared plenty of updates during his short stay and was very accommodating towards our fluctuating pick-up time range. We really appreciate it, thank you x100! 💖”
“Sara was great, she clearly knows dogs very well. My dog is 95 lbs, has unreliable recall, and can be reactive to certain things, but after meeting Sara and chatting a bit, I felt 100% confident that she could handle him. Will be using her services regularly.”
“We had a great experience with Bella! Enzo is a very anxious dog and usually has a hard time when he's away from his people so I was worried about leaving him. Bella was incredibly patient and caring, and I was so happy to hear that Enzo was actually calm and didn't cry/whine while he was with her. It says a lot about how comfortable and safe she made him feel! She also kept me updated with lots of photos and videos! I would definitely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dogsitter!”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog for the day and treated him like part of the family. Both she and her daughters gave him plenty of love, attention, and affection throughout his stay. We received updates, and it was so reassuring to know he was happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! Your kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. The updates and care you provided meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate your dedication and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for treating my dog like your own!”
“Lovely couple! They are obviously pet lovers! I’m drawn to their calm and kind demeanor. Mo is usually unsure of new people but he approached them after a few minutes. Lots and patient and calm interactions which Mo prefers. Nothing but positive vibes from this couple. Thank you Hector and Jeanette!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid - big ones and small ones. In fact, I like them so much, that I made it my job. I have a Pomeranian girl myself and she is joy of my life. I like taking pups on long walks and spoil them with snacks. I used to shelter dogs when I lived in Vietnam Me and my husband are usually home, at least one of us. So it’s easy for us to take care of pets and take them out on walks. I take pets for walks, I give them belly rubs, snacks and play with them. They also can play with my dog. I feed them according to owner's preferences.
“We had an amazing experience with Ashley and Kelvin for our dog Bentley. They sent loads of photos and updated us regularly. I’ve already booked his next stay with them 🥰”
“I can't say enough about what a great sitter Viktoriia is. She is so easy to work with and sent me loads of photos and videos. She put our dog at ease from the get-go and I could tell that she was very happy staying with Viktoriia. I highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Natasha for your dog care needs. She took the time to thoroughly get to know my 8-month old puppy before the first stay, making sure everything was set up for success and answering all my questions. Natasha’s passion for dogs truly shines through and I am impressed by her thoughtfulness to create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment. My puppy had such a great time and came home happy & tired :)”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and as someone born in the Year of the Dog, I’ve always felt a special connection with dogs. I’ve raised both cats and dogs, and I had a guinea pig that I lovingly cared for for seven years. Taking care of animals has always been a joyful part of my life. I work with a flexible schedule & do not currently have my own pet at home, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how much your furry family member means to you, so I’ll send you daily photo and video updates, giving you peace of mind and letting you see all the fun they’re having. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a loving, patient, and reliable home away from home. Since I run my own business, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to keep your cat company and make sure they get lots of attention. I can provide pet care both in my home and at your home. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, and keep your pets company. My community is pet-friendly, with a large park nearby and a big grassy area downstairs where dogs can enjoy outdoor time and exercise. I’ll make sure your pets get lots of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you can feel relaxed knowing they are happy and well cared for. 🐾
“This is our second time using Siyu’s doggy daycare service, and we’re definitely going to be returning clients from now on. She sent updates and photos/videos throughout the day. My two dogs love Siyu and her dog Oscar. My anxious mama’s boy, Barkley, didn’t even look back once when I handed his leash to Siyu 😂 From that alone, I know Barkley feels safe and well cared for with Siyu and her smart boy Oscar. A few minutes later, I even got an update that Barkley was flying around the house out of excitement, which was the cherry on top. We can’t thank Siyu enough - as dog parents, we know how guilty and concerned we feel leaving our dogs all day while we work. But thanks to Siyu, we don’t have to feel nearly as guilty anymore, knowing our pups are safe, happy, and cared for. We definitely recommend Siyu :)”
“Natz and Ignacio were amazing with my puppy! Would highly recommend them, all day I received the cutest pictures of Enzo playing with other doggies and even their two children who gave him lots of love ☺️ They were very consistent and always letting me know how he was and the day was going. If he could talk he would tell me he had the most fun day ever! ❤️”
About: Steadily help friends take care of several dogs, age from 10-month to 10 year-old. Potty break any time during the day! Have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, but would avoid to take untrained puppies. I work from home every day, Monday through Saturday, so I'm around the whole time and can take the dog out for potty breaks whenever needed. I'd prefer the owner drop the dog off in the morning, and pickup anytime before 10pm works for me. I currently don't have any pets or children at home, so the dog would get my full attention. I have a patio available for potty breaks throughout the day.

“Gini walked me dog while I was away on vacation. He loved his walks with her. She is friendly, on time, and notes when each walk starts and ends. She is quick to respond when wanting to book and asks for any clarification needed regarding what the dog and owner needs and is looking for. I will definitely book with Gini again!”

About: ** We live in a cozy apartment just a quick 10 min. drive from YVR Airport, making drop-offs and pick-ups incredibly convenient for travelling pet parents! ** 📢 A little note for pet parents: I typically care for dogs up to 22 lbs, as my experience and home are best suited for smaller pups. Rover currently doesn’t offer an option for dogs up to 22 lbs, so I’ve selected the 16-40 lbs range as the closest available option. Please note that my actual maximum weight is 22 lbs. Hello, I’m Catherine! I started caring for dogs for family and friends in 2022, and over the years I realized how much I truly enjoy it. That eventually led me to get my own dog, Summer, in 2024. She’s currently 2 years old and is a Bichon-Shih Tzu mix who is very friendly and loves meeting new dogs. Having a dog of my own has taught me so much about their care, behaviour, and different personalities. I’m excited to continue learning, get to know more dogs and their different personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. 🧳☀️ FOR BOARDING & DOGGY DAY CARE: I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day and give them lots of attention, companionship, and care. I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and following each dog's usual schedule to help them feel relaxed and at home. 🧳 BOARDING : 24 hrs. (hosting only 1 dog per night) ☀️ DAYCARE : between 7am-8pm, hosting only 1 dog per day (additional fees may apply for early drop-offs or late pick-ups.) 🐾 FOR DOG WALKING: My regular availability for dog walking is every Monday between 9:30am-6pm! Your dog is welcome to join my dog, Summer. I’ll take them around the nearby parks, including dog-friendly areas where they can safely run, play, and enjoy some off-leash time when appropriate. I may open additional days when my schedule allows, but Mondays will be my permanent availability for now. If you’re looking for someone to walk your dog every Monday, feel free to reach out! 🧳☀️ FOR BOARDING & DOGGY DAY CARE: Our building is secure and quiet, perfect for dogs who prefer a calm environment without the stress of a busy household, for a comfortable stay here. 🐾 FOR DOG WALKING: Your dog’s safety is always my priority. I’ll keep a close eye on every dog throughout the walk and choose safe, dog-friendly walking areas. I’ll also make sure the dogs are comfortable with each other and supervised at all times, especially when they’re playing together.
“Mandy was incredibly caring and so kind to our puppy Mabel. She was so happy to accommodate us, and every day she had such a thorough summary of the walk. She sent many pictures and videos every day that brightened up my busy work day! My puppy loves her so much, and she eagerly greets her as a new best friend. We'll definitely be using her service in the future, and I'm so thankful to have found Mandy and Jacky!”

I’ve even helped my own dog deliver her babies, and now as my doggy siblings have gotten older, I care for them through challenges like dementia and cataracts. Growing up with three doggy siblings has taught me exactly how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. I'm currently working part-time, which I can spend lots of play time with your furry family member. I value not only giving them food and water, but also that spiritual happiness, so play dates are for sure! When caring for pets, safety is my number one priority. I always make sure the environment is secure, check that doors and gates are locked, and keep any dangerous items out of reach. To give your pet the patient care they deserve.

George really enjoyed his time and I could see he was cared for and was treated like a king. Thank you and we will book again with Ashleigh, as we know she really cared for our Mr George. This was a great experience.”
“Nien Tzu looked after Daisy, our black labradoodle, for the first time from Aug 1-17. We knew she was in good hands by the number of questions Nien asked initially to make sure she understood Daisy’s needs and habits. While we were away we got daily updates with photos and videos which we really appreciated. Nien took Daisy on lots of different types of walks and went even further afield from Richmond to Pacific Spirit Park. The extra effort Nien went meant alot to us. We highly recommend her !”
“Anisa did great with our older malinois Skye. She was understanding of her quirks and our instructions and was super communicative through Skye's stay. Skye was happy and calm when I picked her up and seemed to have a good time with Anisa. Would highly recommend her!”
“Benjamin did an excellent job of caring for our kitten during an unprecedented heat wave. He provided regular updates with lots of photos. His three children were very gentle with our kitten and provided plenty of play time for her. Thanks again!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities. I provide a safe, comfortable and loving environment where every dog is treated like part of the family.

I provide a safe,clean,and comfortable home environment with close supervision. We have a fenced backyard with plently of space for the pup to run around in between potty breaks.
“This was our second time boarding our dog Nola with Ranah and Frankie, and again the experience was wonderful. We got daily updates with pictures and videos, and they just genually cared about and loved our girl. We would absolutely go with them again 💯”
“Maria & Gabriel were great with our boy! Otis was immediately comfortable with Maria at drop-off. Maria & Gabriel are friendly, personable and very communicative. Most importantly Otis was chill & happy. They give regular updates & pics! Highly recommended!”
“Dean is incredible! He has a way with dogs that makes them feel right at home and takes such great care of them. Woody loves staying with him and has a blast playing with the other dogs. Dean sends plenty of updates and in every photo Woody looks like he’s having a lot of fun. I’ve even noticed Woodys confidence has improved after staying with Dean. I would highly recommend him!”
About: I have experience caring for multiple large breeds as both a dog walker and sitter. Raising my own stubborn Chow Chow taught me patience and confidence with strong-willed dogs. I also cared for her through blindness and the removal of one eye, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs who need extra attention, gentle care, and close monitoring. Every dog in my care is treated like family. I work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows for plenty of supervision, walks, and companionship. I’m in the office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and it’s dog-friendly, so dog sitting can still be an option if needed. I care for pets in a calm, clean, and safe environment with lots of supervision, affection, and regular walks or potty breaks. I always follow their usual routine for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent while providing updates and photos for peace of mind. Safety, patience, and making every pet feel at home are my top priorities.
“JM was an amazing dog sitter for Lulu! From the very beginning, JM was reliable, caring, and attentive, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Lulu was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of love and attention. JM kept us updated with regular messages and photos, creative, beautiful journal entries, and it was obvious that Lulu felt comfortable and safe. I truly appreciated the professionalism, great communication, and genuine care shown throughout the stay. JM is a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Lulu—we would be happy to book with you again!”
