“We have rebooted with Tanya multiple times. She is consistent and a reliable as a sitter and incredibly gentle with our kitties. One is incredibly shy, and Tanya is the only person other than us that she lets pet her.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Yang! She took care of our two cats for three days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated throughout her stay, regularly letting us know how the cats were doing and sending us lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We came home to two happy cats, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her look after our cats again!”
“Lexy is a fantastic cat sitter and did an amazing job taking care of our cat. Our cat is pretty shy but she managed to gain her trust from the very first visit. It was really nice to know she was there while we were away and we loved the daily pics! We will definitely be asking Lexy to cat sit again when needed.”
“Alicia took amazing care of our little guy and sent us loads of photos and videos while we were away. She always let us know if there were any hiccups or issues, as well as a report about how he was doing that day. We are really grateful she was there when we needed her!!”
“Ingrid is great! This is the first time for me to use, but it is beyond my expectation. She not only helped us take care of our two cats very carefully, but also played with them, helped clean up and took many lovely photos, which made us feel at ease. Thank her very much!”
“Hongqian took great care of my two cats while I was away. She was friendly, followed all of my instructions, and made sure my fur babies were happy and well cared for. I especially appreciated that she respected the scheduled booking times and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Anna was amazing! She was regular with her updates, sent photos and videos, and my cat seemed to really like her. She left the house in great condition and was flexible when I accidentally booked an extra day, lol. It was such a relief to feel like my cat was in good hands while I was on vacation. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“We feel so lucky to have found John! It’s hard to find pet sitters qualified to take care of exotics. We have 2 elderly bunnies and one needs medication daily. John handled it no problem and kept us updated when one of them wasn’t acting himself. We also have a very shy cat that really came out of her shell with John. I was surprised when I got pictures of her hanging out among the other pets and getting head scritches from John! Throughout our trip we got frequent updates and great communication. We will absolutely be using John again.”
About: I’ve been caring for my own two poodles since 2021, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to your dog. I’m very active and love walks! so your pup will get real exercise. I’m also attentive to each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a bit more patience. I treat every dog like my own and always provide updates so you feel completely at ease. I’m based in Concord Brentwood which is famous for its dog walking scene! I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week, especially mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I’m also available on weekends and can accommodate regular or last-minute bookings when needed. I prioritize consistency and reliability, so your pet will always be cared for on time and with attention. I prioritize safety, routine, and attention in every visit. I always follow your pet’s specific instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and comfort level, and I make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Ema and Cindy took excellent care of our cat Thomas and our apartment while we were away on holiday. They provided lots of updates and photos, and our kitty seemed very happy and calm when we got home. They also kept our home very clean. We would definitely book with them again in the future. Thank you!”
“I cannot recommend Yihan highly enough! I had to leave town for work, and my usual backup (my son) fell through. Yijan graciously accepted the cat sitting request on very short notice, and I will be forever grateful. She provided the absolute best care for my cat, Rocky. Every day, she sent me detailed updates and wonderful photographs, letting me know how he was behaving, eating, and adjusting. This communication gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, it was incredibly obvious that she is a true cat lover. Rocky was happy and relaxed when I returned home. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be booking her services again. Do not hesitate to trust her with your furry family members”
“Kamil and his wife were wondering to Murph! They treated her with love and would send frequent updates with videos and pictures. This was my first time leaving murph alone so I was quite nervous but Kamil and his wife eased my anxiety. Thank you!”
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!
“Another great Rover experience with Justine, she 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. I appreciate her reliability and good communication. I definitely recommend booking her to take care of your pets.”

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 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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burnaby
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!
