About: 🐶🐾$20 off promo code of your first booking: EMILYC35575 Hello I’m Emily! I have been a passionate dog lover my entire life and personally raised my own Maltipoo for 6 years in Korea. I have been living in Canada for 2 years now, and because I am away from my beloved dog back home, I miss her terribly every single day. I want to channel all that longing, love, and affection into caring for the wonderful dogs here in Canada. Back in Korea, I made it a strict rule to take my dog out for walks every single day without fail, ensuring she always received abundant exercise, attention, and love. Beyond my own pet, I have extensive experience pet-sitting for my friends' dogs on multiple occasions. Whether it was for a short weekend or a longer stay, I provided dedicated, heartfelt care that left both the dogs incredibly happy and their owners completely satisfied and at peace. Over the past 2 years in Canada, I have also gained practical experience walking various breeds, including a high-energy Dalmatian mix and a Jindo mix. I genuinely enjoy discovering each dog's unique personality and have a natural knack for making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved around me. I promise to treat your furry family member with the exact same devotion and deep responsibility that I give to my own. I’m currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and can be available for walks and pet care throughout the week. My availability may change slightly each week, but I would be happy to coordinate schedules in advance. Please feel free to contact me beforehand, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I’m great at playing with dogs using toys, and I’m confident I can take them for walks or play fetch outside. I can also train them, like bell training or teaching them to lie down. I have trained my own dog before.
“Gisselle came for drop ins during a vacation. She took good care of my cat, making sure that he's fed, has enough water, has a clean litterbox, gets playtime etc. Gisselle also made sure to communicate with me regularly thoughout her visits, which I appreciated.”

“Thank you Diana for taking such great care of our cats while we were away. Looking forward to you taking care of our cats again! We didn’t stress at all and was able to enjoy our time away. ❤️”

“Sogand was an excellent sitter for Willow! She asked thoughtful questions, which showed how much she genuinely cared. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the visit, which really helped ease any concerns. I will definitely use her services again in the future.”

“Mira is an excellent cat sitter! She was extremely kind and patient with my shy and fearful cat. Mira sent me regular and detailed updates, along with photos and videos. She really cares about animals and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone nervous about leaving their pets.”

“Jessica was so sweet and lovely! Punctual, and my dog fell in love with her immediately. Will absolutely book her again, she gave me updates and was great to communicate with.”

“Will definitely book her for the next time! Strongly recommend her be your cat sitter as she’s careful, thoughtful, caring and friendly. She’s very responsive and responsible. She sent me pictures which showed my baby was enjoying playing with her. She also did some light cleaning work for my baby which I appreciate a lot!”

“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.”

“Did a drop in for my two cats. Was great seeing photo updates. Edward was very thorough and quick to respond. Cats seemed happy when I got home meaning they were well taken care of!”
About: We are Brenden and Brooke. For the past 4 years we have been travelling and professionally stewarding properties around the world. We are commonly contracted with ranches, hobby farms, homesteads and household - some of which hold more than animal/dependant responsibility due to business operations running on the property. Over the years we have developed our service quality and specialized care as a professional couple. While traveling we organize volunteer experiences that increase our skills and knowledge in order to fulfill hosts and their animal's needs. This fuels our travels and we want to bring this lifestyle to Vancouver island as we network around the area. We pour our time an energy to the animals we are caring for, meaning we will be with them as much as possible over the course of our stay. We have lived in 10+ households with animals, with some experiences being up to 2 months. We will care for your animals as you would. We are able to carefully follow complex instructions. A bonus is that we are very active people, and if you would like your animals to get exercise, we are all about it.
About: I’m a cat owner of three, with my oldest cat being 8 years old. I’m familiar with feeding raw, canned, and dry food, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time playing with cats. I also pay attention to their behavior and can send photo or video updates while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible daily schedule, so I am available for drop-in visits from 8 AM to 8 PM most days. If you have any special timing needs, please feel free to contact me in advance—I will do my best to accommodate. I provide safe, respectful drop-in care: shoe covers, no personal item contact, and daily photo/video updates. Your home and cat will be treated with the same care as my own.
About: I've raised my dog since he was a puppy and have learned a lot along the way!~ I treat every dog like my own, and provide the right structure and leadership for an enjoyable and productive walk. I work odd hours so I can be flexible during the day and evening. I love to walk and am outside as much as I can be. Getting to know your dog and their needs is my top priority. Its important to build trust and a relationship so that your dog is happy on our walk. I'm good at communicating to you and above all, listening to how you need your dog taken care of.
“Amelia has been great with Murphy! She has so much patience with his puppy antics and is always on time, with great communication. She has been teaching him to shake a paw and we totally trust her with our place. Can't think of a single bad thing to say about her, she's great!”

About: Hi, I am Tanisha, and I have had pets my entire life.. I have always known dogs and cats as a special blessing on earth, so they deserve the best of everything. I take care of each pet based on their personality and preferences, and offer pet sitting, long or short walks, and boarding, as well as extended stays, and a lot of fun 😁 Caring for your pet, I will make sure that they will never feel lonely. If your dog struggles with separation anxiety or gets lonely easily, they will benefit from having multiple people around to give them attention and care and I live in a house with 4 of my housemates and plenty of space for your pet to move around and play. One of my pets once had five puppies, and I looked after them as they grew. They all turned out healthy and strong with the right care. I also have experience with senior dogs, some as old as 15 years. I understand the special needs of older dogs and are well-equipped to take care of them. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! and I will take care of it. Most importantly, safety is where you need not worry because that’s my priority. I Work part time in a chocolate company. So my schedule is very flexible. Your pet will have long and short walks tailored to their preferences, meals would be on time and lots of love. However, as mentioned they will never be alone because there’s 4 of us who all work park time. I live in a big house, so your pet will have lots of space to roam around and play; I also have a backyard and a front lawn with protected walls. Most importantly, we have created a home-like environment for pets so they feel comfortable in their own home.
About: From trout lake, china creek, pacific spirit park or any of Vancouver's lovely dog parks, I will happily take your dog to the park of their choice or a favourite hike of mine. For walks or boarding, 9am to 9pm. Subject to change based on their needs! I manage multiple dogs during my week, but I ensure excellent care and more than enough play time for all the dogs I care for. My home has strictly clutter free floors, cords are stowed away and organized, I live in a pet friendly apartment. I have a backyard as well.
About: Nice to meet YOU! I’m a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker living in North Burnaby’s Lochdale area, and I’m so excited to meet you and your pets. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals—from feeding homeless cats and caring for abandoned kittens, to rescuing a hamster left by the garbage bins and adopting surrendered fish and turtles from classmates (we were no longer friends from then on :D). Animals have always been the missing pieces of my life puzzle. I recently launched Winnie the Paws, a wellness-focused brand that promotes holistic and natural care for pets (and people!). As a certified canine massage therapist, I’ll include a 15-minute wellness massage session to my dog walking packages to help dogs stay relaxed, mobile, and happy. Experience with puppies and training: When I turned 14, my family adopted three rescue puppies. I learned to care for them—feeding, bathing, grooming, leash training, potty training, and even teaching tricks. They grew into 70-lb babies and now live with my parents in my home country. I also attended puppy training classes with a local host family’s new pup while living in Vancouver. I can support basic training needs, help reinforce good behaviors, and offer enrichment that’s tailored to your dog’s personality—whether they’re a high-energy puppy or a mellow senior. Experience with senior dogs & special needs: I’ve helped care for senior dogs like my host family's elderly Labrador, and a Boston Terrier with liver disease. My own dog, Roni, is almost 11 now—and he just learned a new trick! I started studying massage therapy to support his aging body and overall wellness. My volunteer work with ElderDog Canada also gave me meaningful experience supporting both senior people and their beloved older dogs. Rescue Dogs & foster experience: I’ve fostered small dogs from China and Mexico, helping them build confidence and learn how to live in a loving home. I volunteered with several rescue groups, assisting with foster care and adoption placements. Experience with cats I’m also a regular cat sitter in the neighbourhood. I’ve bonded closely with both senior cats and kittens, and I’m comfortable with shy or outgoing personalities. When I lived with a host family, the cats slept on my bed while the dogs played beside me—everyone was family. I am certified in pet first aid to ensure your pets stay safe in emergencies, and I’m always learning more about animal wellness. I currently share my life with my beloved Roni. Whether your pets are young, senior, shy, or full of energy, I promise to love and care for them as much as I do my own. I am available every day after 8 pm if anyone needs service later at night. I am usually available on weekdays, while having limited access to a vehicle on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But please send me a message if you live nearby. I am always available to help my neighbors! I prefer taking care of your pets at your home. I also have access to my own vehicle if your pets need a ride. I will be aware of hygiene and sanitation with I am visiting your pets at your place, including washing my hands and wiping your dogs' paws when we return from outside. Please feel free to let me know if you prefer I wear a mask with your pets outside.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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.
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.
