“Tanya is absolutely amazing with my cat. I couldn't dream of a better person to care for her! She made my vacation so much easier, knowing my little girl was in such good hands. Tanya went above and beyond my expectations. She displays great proficiency and experience when interacting with and caring for pets. Definitely the best!”

“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.”

Thank you!”
“Angelina wsa great with my cat Percy. I received lots of picture of him and it was clear Angeina interacted with Percy and gave him all the loving he craved. Angelina was also good at asking questions while I was away if she needed any additional information. I will definately be caling on Angelina again.”
“Justine took excellent care of my two cats while I was away and provided daily updates with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of my cats is diabetic and can be quite difficult when it comes to insulin injections, but Justine was incredibly patient and persistent. She never gave up, and eventually both cats warmed up to her, which was such a relief. I missed my cats so much during my vacation, but knowing they were in such caring and capable hands made it much easier to relax. I truly appreciated Justine’s professionalism, compassion, and dedication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I would care for your cats with affection while respecting their personality and boundaries. I'd follow their feeding routine, refresh their water daily, provide playtime, (for cats) clean the litter box, and follow any medication or special-care instructions. I am experienced caring for cats/dogs through injuries and health concerns, (giving medication). I was well trained by Dogsmart when I had our little 10 lb Maltese. She was amazing, (I miss her) and I learned so much about dogs and taking care of them, particularly little ones! I have a home-based business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I am also available most long weekends and can often accommodate short-notice bookings when needed. I would care for your animals with affection while respecting their personality and boundaries.

About: N/A at this time. Cats at this time only please, as, I only have time for max. 60 min. visits. Profile will be updated should things change. • 30-Minute Drop-In: Perfect for a quick feeding, litter scoop, and a bit of playtime. • 60-Minute Extended Visit: Ideal for high-energy cats who need extra playtime or lonely kitties who want longer companionship. Available mornings, evenings and weekends. Building absolute trust and ensuring your cat’s safety within the comfort of their own home are my highest priorities. I understand that your home is a sacred space, which is why I treat your property with the utmost respect, maintaining strict confidentiality and security protocols every time I enter and leave. By keeping your cat in their familiar environment, I eliminate the stress of boarding while ensuring they remain safe from external health risks. I diligently monitor the home environment during my visits—checking that doors and windows are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and the space remains exactly as you left it. You can travel with total peace of mind, knowing that both your beloved pet and your home are in mature, protective, and respectful hands.
About: I've taken care of pets from cats, dogs to fish and birds. Family and friends usually ask me to care for their furry loved ones while away and I know how important these loved ones are to a family. I'm currently working remote so I have freedom to work from anywhere and to take shirts in my day. My partner and I love pets but cannot have them in our building which makes Rover a great fit for us. I listen to instructions from the owners on how their pet likes to be taken care of and things that they like / don't like. I try to build trust by getting to know the owners and the pets as quickly as possible and with additional visits as needed.
“Leah has been taking care of our 2 cats twice now. Her caring and compassion is clear obviously she loves cats. Both cats have special needs; one is older and on Medications. The second cat a rescue and needs a very calm quiet approach She has handled both cats and is amazing. Highly recommend her”
“Emily is an amazing sitter! Took great care of my senior cat, gave him his meds each day, made sure he was comfortable & happy and gave him plenty of attention. She gave him a private space but also the option to explore if he wanted. She sent lots of pics and videos and there was no doubt he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Emily and would happily have her look after my cat again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and honestly couldn’t imagine growing up without them! 🐾 My family always had multiple dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life from a very young age. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from tiny Chihuahuas to Huskies, Pit Bulls, and many others. I’ve also been around pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little more patience, attention, and love. Growing up, I was always the person my parents relied on to look after all of our animals when they went away. I would feed them, walk the dogs, play with them, keep them company, and make sure everyone was happy and taken care of. Because of that, looking after animals has always felt very natural to me. I’ve also done house sitting before and am completely comfortable staying with your pets in their own home. I know pets can sometimes feel stressed when their owners are away, so I do my best to keep their normal routine and give them plenty of attention and company. I even love giving dogs baths! There’s something so satisfying about seeing them all clean, fresh, and happy afterward. 🛁🐶 Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. Whether your pet is young and full of energy, older and prefers to relax, big, small, shy, or super outgoing, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want someone to give my own. ❤️ I currently work from 7:00 AM to 11:30 AM, five days a week, with Mondays and Tuesdays off. Since my workdays finish fairly early, I have a lot of extra time throughout the afternoons and evenings, as well as two full days off each week. I wanted to use that extra time doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for animals is something I’ve always loved. 🐾 My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, house sitting, and spending quality time with your pets. I also love being active and getting outside, so having a furry companion along for walks makes it even better! Whether your pet needs some exercise, company while you’re at work, or someone to care for them while you’re away, I’m happy to make them part of my routine. ❤️ Every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine and instructions you have for yours. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 Whether that means walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, bathroom breaks, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’m more than happy to do it. I’ll also follow any specific routines or preferences you have because I know how important consistency can be, especially when their owner is away. I’m very respectful when caring for pets in a client’s home and will treat both your home and your animals with care. If there’s something extra your pet needs, just let me know. I’m always willing to help wherever I can. At the end of the day, pets are family, and I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, cared for, and loved. ❤️

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burnaby
Yiran is the most diligent cat sitter I've ever the pleasure of working with. She was consistent, punctual, and very responsive. She gave really detailed reports on how my cats were doing each day. When one of my cats was experiencing gastric issues, she kept me constantly updated, collected a poop sample, and cleaned up the many vomit piles and hairballs she left behind. Last but not least, Yiran is also a really talented cat photographer. She has taken some of the cutest photos I have of my cats!!
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!
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!

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.
