“Sunny was fantastic! Her communication was excellent and consistent, and the photo updates made me feel at ease while I was away. She took wonderful care of Akira and paid attention to every detail. I would absolutely book with her again.”
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!
“Here’s an updated version: We couldn’t be more grateful to Lisa and Lonny for taking such wonderful care of Qubit for 8 days! She’s a handful—hyperactive and a bit reactive—but they handled her with patience, skill, and lots of love. It was clear from the updates and photos they shared that she was happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in their care. Knowing she was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind during our trip. Thank you both so much—we’ll definitely reach out again next time we need a sitter!”
“Angela and her family were wonderful taking care of Manolo. He was clearly well looked after and comfortable during his stay. Communication was great, and we felt very confident leaving him with them. We would absolutely consider Angela and her family again for any future needs and highly recommend them. Thank you Angela, you guys are great! :)”
“This was my first time leaving my dog Nina with a dog sitter. Steven and Gloria did an excellent job. They provided daily updates with pictures and videos of Nina, she look very comfortable and stress free. I will definitely be using their services again with no hesitation. Nina got lots of attention and care. I will fully recommend them, your dog will be in good hands. Nice and friendly people to deal with!!!!”
“Sara was outstanding at taking care of my dog and very patient with him as my dog can be needy at times. She sends photos and gives updates everyday. Dog was really well taken care of and he had a great time there.”
“Jennifer and David were excellent sitters for our much-loved dog, Seymour. They shared daily updates of how he was doing with lots of photos, which we were thrilled to receive. He clearly was very well loved; lots of walks, cuddles, fetch, and even got to sleep on their son's bed. I would highly recommend Jennifer and David and we'll definitely use their service again in the future.”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing watching over our dog Welly. She sent frequent updates of his stay and took him for amazing walks through the forest with her lovely lab Elsa. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Ranah and Franki were amazing. They let us visit them before finalizing the booking so we knew if Lemon would be comfortable with them and their pet. They took great care of Lemon and took her everywhere with them. They sent us a lot of pictures and it looks like lemon actually had a great time this weekend! We’ll definitely be bringing Lemon to them again in the future.”
“Kevin and Lana did an amazing job caring for my pup. They consistently sent updates and beautiful photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was traveling abroad. I would highly recommend the duo to my friends and family 🤩”
“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!”
“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!”
“Olena and her family took wonderful care of our dog Ritchie for three weeks. From the start, communication was clear and consistent – I got regular updates, photos, and videos, which made it so much easier to be away. When I picked Ritchie up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable with them and their home. It really felt like he was part of their family. I’m so grateful to have found such a caring and reliable sitter and will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea and Sergio are incredible! The communication is amazing and my Kodabear loved it there! I was very worried to leave him for boarding for the first time but they both updated me regularly, and Koda was happy and healthy ☺️ Because something came up almost a month later after this trip, I didn’t hesitate to book his stay at their home again! 10/10 I would recommend 😊”
“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 were so happy with Sheryl's care of Lulu. She was obviously very attentive, and Lulu had plenty of walks, socializing and cuddles! We were afraid Lulu would prefer Sheryl to us! We also appreciated updates on their time together and photos. Would definitely rebook :)”
“Jo-Ann and Lance took such great care of our pup Otis and sent us plenty of pictures and updates, which was greatly appreciated! Otis looked to be having the time of his life getting so much attention and belly rubs🥰 will definitely be booking again!😊”
“Kyel took such great care of our 1 year old Pomeranian, Kiki, for over two weeks! It was our first time leaving her for that long, so we were a bit nervous, but Kyel made us feel completely at ease. He sent us daily photos and videos of Kiki playing and going on walks, which we really appreciated. It was so nice knowing she was happy and well cared for while we were away. One of the best things was seeing Kiki come out of her shell. She became much more confident at the park and around other people. She’s usually a little shy and anxious in those situations, so it was amazing to see her growing more comfortable and brave. We’d absolutely trust Kyel with Kiki again and would love to have him dog-sit for us in the future. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 😊🐾”
“Huge thank you to Michael and Jim for being so good to our little Tulip!! She absolutely loved being there and can’t wait to go back! The pics and videos sent were just the cutest!”
“Justine was an amazing sitter for my sweet girl Roca. She welcomed her into her home and loved her like she was her own. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for your pooch.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Burnaby is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burnaby
Leaving our 1 year old Cavapoo overnight for the first time was already a huge deal for us, let alone leaving him for five nights. Sunny and ZhiYi made the whole experience so much easier and treated him like one of their own from the moment he arrived. They sent thoughtful updates and photos every day, and it was so reassuring to see him always wanting to be close to Sunny, whether he was following her around or relaxing beside her on the couch. Seeing him sleeping belly up was probably our favourite update because we knew that meant he felt completely safe and comfortable in their home. They were incredibly patient with his picky eating, hand-fed him when he needed a little encouragement, and took such great care of all of his little quirks and routines. The sweetest moment was at pickup. Gamja didn't even recognize us for the first few seconds and actually tried to head back into Sunny's house! After we left, we walked him around the block, and out of habit he turned back toward her house again. It was such a funny and reassuring sign that he had truly settled in and felt at home with them. We are so grateful for everything they did for Gamja, and we would trust them with him again in a heartbeat. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our little potato. ❤️
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!
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.

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.
