About: I've been pet sitting for the last 7 years and have experience sitting dogs and cats, but open to taking care of other furry friends! I work fully remote, so I have the flexibility to be available and present anytime! When I am pet sitting, I prioritize the needs of the pet and work around their schedule. I love walking and enjoy getting outside throughout the day, so daily walks is a must for me. When it comes to being a guest in someone's home, I take this responsibility very seriously. I am extremely conscientious and responsible, and will always inform the homeowner should I have any concerns or questions. That said, I've never had any concerning incidents or issues during my years of house/pet sitting.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life! I love dogs and animals of every kind. I have volunteered at the BCSPCA before and understand the care that animals need. I am not working and at home the majority of the time at the moment, therefore, I have much more availability to give your dog the care and attention they need! As a dog owner myself. I have an enclosed yard, lots of chew toys, and many different treats to keep your dogs happy and comfortable!
“Tanya is excellent. She provides gentle care and lots of photo updates. Our kitties are both quite shy, but they warmed up to Tanya faster than anyone else we've introduced them to. We'd highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a pet-sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 8 years old. I had 2 dogs and 2 cats in my life. I’d say that they had a very good life when they were with me. Friends and families relies on me when they need me to do a pet-sitting. I was responsible to bathe them, make sure that they have nutritious meals and drinks, potty train them, walk them, bring them to the vet when it’s needed, play and entertain them, and always make sure that they’re happy. I’m currently working evening shifts, so I can pet-sitting your pets in the morning till afternoon before 3 PM. Then I can go back to pet-sitting again and staying at your place at night time after I finish my shift at 11 PM. I normally petsit with my partner, Cindy, and she works from home. So she can provide the care that’s needed for your pets while I’m away for work. I can take care of your pet at your own place, because unfortunately my apartment is not pet-friendly. This is one of the reasons why I want to do this job, so I can be around my client’s pets.
“Alicia was so lovely, prompt responses and sent several photos during the visits. My cat was very comfy around her and was very happy to have some companionship during my weekend away :) 10/10!!!!”
“Karina really went above and beyond when checking in on June and took away so much of my anxiety while being away. She sent a detailed update with many photos each day and it is clear that she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. This was my first time using Rover and I truly could not have asked for a better experience.”
About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, cats, and even a few farm animals, I learned early how to feed, groom, and help with basic vet care and beginner dog training. I’ve cared for pets from newborn kittens and puppies to sweet senior cats and dogs, and even helped supervise my grandma’s cat during labour — what an experience! Since then I’ve raised my own Yorkie, helped caring for my roommate’s Devon Rex cat, and dog-sat a friend’s Shiba Inu, taking her on hikes, long walks, and beach days with my equally pet-loving partner. I’m home most of the time taking an online course and preparing for nursing school, while my partner works from home—so your pets will get plenty of love, walks, and attention. My partner and I live in a pet-friendly apartment steps away from several dog parks. We both love hiking and beach trips and can easily drive your pets for longer nature walks.
“Jessica was so sweet and lovely! Punctual, and my dog fell in love with her immediately. Will absolutely book her again, she gave me updates and was great to communicate with.”
“Angela is incredible. Communicative, caring, and goes above and beyond. We love working with you, Angela! Thank you for always taking sure good care of our senior kitties (who need a lot of special care) while we’re gone :)”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love cats and pay attention to their individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats, enjoy giving them plenty of playtime and attention, and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every cat as if they were my own and keep owners updated so they can relax while they’re away. I’m usually working in the mornings, so I’m available after 3 PM. Since I genuinely love cats, I’d much rather spend my free time with them, taking care of them, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I currently provide cat care in the pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I’m responsible, reliable, respectful of your home, and always on time. I take your trust seriously and make sure your cat receives safe, attentive, and loving care.
“Lexy did a couple check-in visits with our two cats while we were away. She was super easy to work with and was happy to meet us and our cats in advance to the booking. She made key drop-off super easy and was always quick to respond to messages. We enjoyed receiving her daily updates and photos of our kitties!”
“Justine did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away. I felt confident that they were safe and happy during her visits. She is a fantastic communicator and sent lots of great photos and updates during each of her visits. I definitely recommend her and will book with her again if I go on another trip :)”

“Lauren is excellent. She went above and beyond for my cat. She was genuinely concerned for his well being and made her morning visit far earlier than I would have dared to ask. She also made herself available for an extra visit in case my travel plans were changed. I will definitely call on her again.”
About: From a young age, I have been immersed in caring for animals, especially cats. Growing up on a farm where we bred cats, dogs, and rabbits and raised chickens, I learned early on how to connect with animals on a deep, soulful level. My father, who worked in various animal-related roles, taught me the importance of treating all animals with respect and love as equals to humans. I've cared for cats and kittens since I was a child, and my mom lovingly called me "the cat dad" because of my innate ability to understand them. This lifelong experience has instilled in me a compassionate approach to pet care. As someone who works from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friends. Whether you need daily visits, extended stays, or just someone to check in on your cat while you're away, I'm here to provide reliable and loving care whenever you need it. Your cat’s well-being is my priority, and I’m available to accommodate a wide range of schedules. When your cat is in my care, their safety and comfort come first. My home is a hazard-free environment where your pet can relax and feel secure. I understand how to create a calm and stress-free environment. Whether it’s providing the right food, plenty of fresh water, or cozy spots for naps, I take every detail into account. You can trust that your cat will receive attentive and loving care while you're away.
About: I worked for about 2 years in a dog daycare, so I’m used to being around different types of dogs and handling them safely in busy environments. I also helped with dog rescues back in Colombia, where I fostered dogs and supported organizations that care for stray animals. That experience taught me a lot about patience and understanding dogs with different personalities. I really just love being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available most days for walks and drop-in visits. I’m reliable and can adapt to your pet’s routine, and I’d love to make caring for dogs part of my daily life. I currently live in a rental where pets aren’t allowed, so I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’m happy to provide dog walking and drop-in visits in your home.
“We were blessed to find Iris on Rover. This was our first Rover experience and Iris was awesome. She has such a kind and thoughtful nature that showed through from first meeting her to each visit update. In addition, Iris is adaptable and creative. Our two cats are healthy and well cared for during our absence thanks to Iris. I highly recommend her services.”

Samantha was amazing, she took great care with babies and was very attentive to all of our instructions! We loved having Samantha taking cares of our cats, and definitely recommend her! Always punctual, trying her best to interact with them, respecting their boundaries, and earning their love ❤️
Iuliia was fantastic. Communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout, and she took excellent care of our cat and our home. Everything was exactly as we left it, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands. We would happily book with her again. Five stars!
Shiyao was a wonderful cat sitter to our kitties, Poppy and Daisy. She was very responsive every time we contacted her. She sent pictures and videos to us at every feeding and the cat feeding area and litter were always very clean and tidy. Our kitties were well taken care off-happy and healthy upon our return. Shiyao also was very mindful and careful with the security of our home, making sure the house was alarmed after each feeding. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone responsible and who will love your kitties while you are away. Thank you, Shiyao! We look forward to having you cat sit when we are away next time!
Amanda was so amazing! She was very easy to communicate with, and she was very proactive with learning the care routine for Zoe and arranging for key pick up and drop off. Most important of all, she took such good care of my cat when I was away. I’m so happy I found Amanda and will definitely book with her again!
Anna is a very professional and warm sitter. We contacted her on short notice for a drop-in visit, and she truly exceeded our expectations. Our cat, Pudding, is usually shy and not very interactive, but during Anna’s first visit we could tell he felt comfortable with her right away. Besides feeding him and refilling his water, Anna spent extra time playing with Pudding and keeping him active. It was very reassuring to see how relaxed and happy Pudding was—almost as if we were still home with him. We would absolutely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Lauren is excellent. She went above and beyond for my cat. She was genuinely concerned for his well being and made her morning visit far earlier than I would have dared to ask. She also made herself available for an extra visit in case my travel plans were changed. I will definitely call on her again.
Penny was fantastic. She’s caring, responsible, and genuinely attentive. She kept my place tidy, spent real time playing with the kitties, and made sure they stayed engaged and comfortable the entire stay. If I could give her six stars, I would. Highly recommended to book with her!
