“Sunny was looking after my fur baby for 10-days! That’s very long for this fur-mommy. She sent me daily updates with pictures and adored my baby. I can’t thank her enough but leaving this review for other fur mamas like me. Hope she won’t be too busy for my pup later tho!”
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 so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“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!”
“Millie was so well taken care of. She had lots of walks and cuddles. Plus her hair and teeth were brushed more than at her own house, lol Will be booking again soon!”
“Another great holiday for Louie at Lisa & Lonny’s place! They take such good care of him and he’s always so happy once he sees where we’re taking him. We appreciate all the pictures and updates too :)”
“Jennifer & David did a wonderful job with our dog. From being exceptionally welcoming, to asking thoughtful questions, to bonding & playing with our pup, they made us feel confident that she was being loved and cared for. The frequent updates and photos were fun to follow along with as well. It felt like we were watching her have her own awesome vacation while we were away on our trip. We wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with them again. Thanks for everything!”
“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 ☺️”
“Lisa took great care of Joey for 2 weeks while we were away. As always, Lisa was caring, responsive, flexible, and kept us updated on Joey's progress frequently. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone.”
“Kevin and Lana were amazing. They took such good care of our little dog and kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and everything. We will 100% us them again.”
“Gloria and her family were amazing. Our dog had never stayed with anyone other than a family friend before this. Gloria and her family took so much care of him and his needs. She took notes and asked everything a concerned person would.My dog warmed up to them all very easily and slept completely through the night. We would definitely have him over again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Aiko looking after our Frenchie, Baobao. From start to finish, her communication was absolutely amazing — regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear Baobao was so well cared for, loved, and completely comfortable during his stay. He came home happy and relaxed, and honestly looks like he can’t wait to go back! We wouldn’t hesitate to book Aiko again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter.”
“Thank you Raymond for taking care of Milu while I was away :) Milu was able to tag along during Raymond’s adventures over the weekend and seemed to have a pleasant stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again~”
“We had such a positive experience with Leo, Katrina and Yuki watching our puppy Rue! They were super responsive and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos throughout the day to assure us Rue was doing well. They were also very accommodating when it came to unexpected travel disruptions. They loved Rue like she was part of their family and met all of our expectations and even went above and beyond. We are so lucky to have found this lovely family and would 100% recommend their service!”
“Harry loves staying with JoAnn and Lance. He races up their driveway when we arrive and romps right onto their house to make himself at home. He gets thoroughly spoiled with massages, cuddles and walks. I am thankful to have found this delightful couple who take such good care of my Harry!”
“Aditya and Alpana are amazing sitters! They are so warm and friendly, they took very good care of my dog, and they keep sending updates during my trip. It's great to see my dog having a great time with them and bounding so quickly! She had so much fun and loved them at the end of her stay. I'll definitely recommend them, and will come back again.”
“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!”
“We had great experience booking with Allison, she was very responsive, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent and gave us peace of mind the entire time. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Highly recommend this high energy household for all your doggy needs. My boy had the best time and is looking forward to his next weekend with who he claims is now his second family!”

Aiko was everything we could want in a dog sitter and more! She took incredible care of Franklin during his first time away from home, and made sure to send us so many updates and pictures. She always responded right away and from the first meeting we could tell he would be in great hands. We will definitely be trusting Aiko with our baby again whenever we leave town.
Xiaotao, Cynthia, is very nice and caring. Very polite and took good care of Mylo. Mylo has a medical condition and Cynthia was good about giving him his medication. Updated me regularly on his behaviour and sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her to one and all. I will definitely go back to her for Mylo.
Aditya & Alpana are really amazing hosts! I had them sit my dog many times, and I'll always go back! They constantly send updates and photos, and you can totally tell they are true dog lovers. They even made special treats for my dog during her stay! Would totally recommend!
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 😊
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.

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:
- 81% 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.
