“Highly recommend Sunny! She kept me very close to the dog boarding experience even though she did not have to at all. My dog Rue loves her so much and misses her dearly when we picked her up, I could tell by her demeanour in the car as we were leaving.”
“Thanks, Lance & Jo-Ann, for making our first experience using Rover so smooth. From the moment we had our first "meet & greet", it was clear you would both lovingly welcome Frank into your home. We can tell he was so well-cared for. We will definitely book you again! Thank you!!”
“I’m so happy that Sara took care of my dog, Cotton! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing Cotton was doing great. I could tell he was well cared for and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with Sara again next time!”
About: Hi, I’m Robin! Lover of all animals and will treat your dog like a member of our family! I had cats and fish growing up and then moved on to dogs! I have 10 years of hands‑on experience raising my Boston Terrier from birth and caring for her through every stage of life, including her final battle with cancer. She taught me to be patient, playful, attentive, and deeply affectionate with every dog I meet. I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of my friends and family’s dogs, and know how hard it can be to be away from your little fur babies but also at the same time be able to enjoy some alone time. As a homemaker, I’m home all day, and ready to step in and be a welcoming, affectionate and safe provider when you’re away! Your dog will get ample time to play, walk or hike ( depending on your dogs abilities) relax, snooze, and of course, eat! We have a fenced in back yard, where they’ll be able to do their “business” whenever they need and a few parks within walking distance for some leisure time. I also have experience administering oral and eye medication. Being a homemaker, mom to a 19 yr old, and having no more of our own pets, your dog will be getting plenty of time, love & attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband works from home and loves spending time with dogs too, so your pup will always have company. I live in a townhouse where your dog will never be far from my sight, not that many places to go lol. I live in a quiet neighborhood, where our backyard is fenced and not easily accessible to public. We have carpeted stairs making it easier to get up and down and a large carpet in the living room for them to roll around and scratch their backs!
“Angela was the best pet sitter i could hope for for my senior dog. I felt so lucky that she was available and I knew my dog would be cared for really well. Super thankful for Angela and her kiddos.”
“Val had a great time with Lisa & Lonny. It was obvious that she was well loved during her 3 night stay. So many outings to new places. And She came back home a happy and relaxed pup. Would book again in a heartbeat.”
“Ranah and Franki were incredible caretakers for Huck. They were diligent and asked great questions during the intake. Their attention to details made me feel comfortable off the bat that they really cared about his wellbeing and to make sure it would be a good fit. During his stay, they were incredibly communicative with daily updates and cute pictures! I could tell by the pictures that Huck was very comfortable with them. I would 100% recommend Ranah and Franki to anyone looking for care for their pets. Thank you for making a paranoid dog mom feel comfortable :)”
“Justine took such great care of my dog Bo! She was super friendly, communicative, and easy to coordinate with! She sent lots of photos and kept me in the loop while I was away for the weekend, it gave me such peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her and book with her again ☺️”
“Sheryl was so sweet with our Bacchus! She sent regular updates and was very responsive and accommodating to our dog. Bacchus had a great time and felt very comfortable and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Can’t say enough, just what a great job, Lisa did taking care of our little furry friend Coby. Definitely 5 out of 5 star rating. Great communication and photos. We will definitely be using Lisa Again. Thanks Lisa 😊👍”
“Andrea and her family took such wonderful care of my 17-year-old senior dog, Kali, during my work trip. Kali has very few teeth, limited mobility, and mostly just wants to be around people who will love her and Andrea gave her just that. They kept her cool and comfortable, took her on gentle little walks, and made sure she felt safe and cared for the entire time. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates it really gave me peace of mind knowing Kali was in such loving hands. This was my first time using them, and I felt so confident and reassured throughout. Highly recommend for anyone with a senior dog or a pet who just needs a little extra love and attention!”
“Ruramai took great care of my large dog who is often reactive with other animals. Ruramai gave her lots of cuddles and belly rubs, and my dog settled into her place quickly.”
“Joanna is very responsive and responsible. She took care of Bailey while we were on a trip. There was regular updates with photos and videos. Bailey is all smiles and happy, as she is 'spoiled' with treats and walks with Geo and Teddy. I would definitely ask Joanna to take care of Bailey again and highly recommend her!”
“I am so glad to Have Tori as a cat sitter for simba, she was so caring, amazing at communicating and providing me with updates, I would definitely trust her with my cat again ,”
“Aiko was amazing with Felfel on Jan 1–2. She took care of him just like her own dog and made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated regularly with photos and detailed messages, including the times of walks and activities. It was clear that Felfel was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention, and communication, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you both for looking after Lexi for my vacation. I know she had a great time with you and had lots of walks by all the pictures and videos you sent. She appeared to get along well with your dog Daisy as the videos showed lots of playing. I would recommend you to anyone looking for overnight or long term boarding. Thank you so much for giving my little girl a safe place to stay!”
“Karina was an amazing sitter for my cat! It was her first time staying in a different home and she warmed up very quickly to Karina. Karina sent me daily updates of photos and videos which helped me feel at ease. It’s clear she gives the animals she watches lots of love and attention. I would definitely recommend Karina, and would use her as a sitter again in the future :)”
“Exceptional care for our fur baby! We left our dog, Charlie, with Oriana and her husban Jean for 10 days, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Leaving a pet for the first time and for that long can be stressful, but we were completely at ease thanks to the frequent updates and obvious love Charlie received. He had an absolute blast and was treated like family. It was so comforting to see and gave us peace of mind that our Charlie looking so happy and relaxed while we were away. We will definitely be booking again—Charlie already misses his home away from home! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Kat, Darrell and family - we can’t thank you enough for taking care of our little dog. Such good communication with lots of pictures made us know she was well looked after. We would highly recommend this family and are very grateful to have found them on Rover.com”
“Michael and Jim were very attentive and communicative. They are really great dog people with big hearts and know how to take read and take care of dogs, even if they are a bit particular (the dog that is).”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Burnaby is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burnaby
It was my first time using Rover and I was very lucky to have found Xiaotao. She is an heaven sent, an angel, a saint. She was very kind and patient with my overly energetic labrador. She sent updates and pictures daily, which made me feel at ease. She even updated me on my dog’s poops. My dog was really spoiled at Xiaotao’s and I could tell from the pictures that my dog felt comfortable and calm with her very quickly, which is rare. I think she gets along really well with dogs because of her calm and patient demeanour. I would definitely book with her again and she would be my first choice every time. I cannot thank her enough for caring for my dog. She’s just wonderful.
This was Prince’s second stay, and it just confirmed how safe and loved he is with her family. She, her husband, and their little one are all so gentle and welcoming. It truly feels like Prince is part of their home when he’s there. I’m grateful to have a sitter I can trust. Thank you Shiyao and Family 😊
Deepika took great care of our high energy Golden retriever, that too over 3 weeks. She provided him ample exercise and gave us timely updates during our travel overseas. Our dog was so happy during his stay that he didn't want to go back home in the first go. Thanks Deepika!!
Flora was so sweet and lovely! Would absolutely book her again. My dog can be a bit shy but Flora really made sure she was comfortable and happy. She sent plenty of updates and I could tell Rainbow was really enjoying her time with Flora and her adorable dog Juju. Thank you so much Flora!!
Bella & Emma are officially our go-to boarders for Pickles, our heeler-husky mix! This was his second stay with them while we were traveling internationally, and once again, he was incredibly well cared for. They made our trip completely stress-free, and we loved receiving photos of our boy looking so happy and spoiled. If Pickles loves them, that says everything: we do too.

As of June 2026, there are 2,856 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burnaby. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Burnaby home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Burnaby
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
