About: I’ve adopted 2 cats for 5 & 6 years. They were stray cats with health issues and now they are healthy! All of my friends relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. And I am extremely patient with animals! You can trust me! I am available for weekdays, the time is flexible from 6:00am to 9:00pm. For weekend schedule would be good at 6:00am-2:00pm, 7:00pm-10:00pm. Any other time would be negotiable. I will follow the instructions from the owner and based on the personality of the pets to have different way of caring. I will check the condition of the pet and if there any dangerous things appeared. To make sure the pet is safe while the owner is away from home.
“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!”
“My cat liked Leilani right away. Leilani was able to trim Darla's claws, which Darla rarely lets people do. All round a good experience. I will definitely hire Leilani again.”
“Jessica is amazingly caring and dedicated to what she does my dog is happier and more relaxed after his time with her. She’s also flexible to accommodate my schedule and sends updates often.”
About: Exceptional Dog Babysitter: Expert in Puppy Training and Senior Care, Ensuring Tail-Wagging Bliss. I have experience with dog since I was a child with my family. I love them and I enjoy having time with different dogs! I work remotely from home, therefore I have plenty time for a dog. I usually go to the park to relax and much better with a dog. As a professional dog babysitter, I provide both in-home and client's home services, tailoring my care to meet the specific needs of each furry companion. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment with designated spaces for play, rest, and meals. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, free from hazards. Regular exercise, engaging activities, and interactive playtime are integral parts of my care routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize familiar surroundings to minimize stress. I follow the owner's instructions diligently, maintaining their established routines. I provide companionship, feedings, and timely bathroom breaks. I engage in enriching activities, such as walks, play sessions, and mental stimulation exercises, tailored to the pet's energy levels and preferences.
“Diana took very good care of my cat while I took a vacation. She communicated with me everyday so I knew “my boy” was doing well. Definitely would book her again. I just need to plan another trip!”

About: 🐶🐾$20 off promo code of your first booking: EMILYC35575 ⭐️August promotion: $18/walk⭐️ 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 currently work during the weekdays, so I’m generally available for walks and pet care after 6 PM on weekdays. My availability may vary slightly from week to week, so I’d be happy to coordinate schedules in advance. Please feel free to reach out 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.
“Wai Ling was a wonderful pet sitter and took great care of my cat. She was patient with my instructions, very reliable, and sent great photos too. I’m really happy with her service and would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hi, My name is Nicky Lin and I have a 4-year-old Shetland sheepdog.

Buddy and I attended all his training school classes together. and now we would like to add more fun to life by meeting your pup. My apartment is located on the ground floor with a fenced yard, which creates easy access for Buddy in-n-out for potty breaks, play fetching sticks, and sometimes we sit in the front yard simply enjoy each's company. on the weekends we like to go to Buddy's favorite park and we go trails to enjoy the beautiful BC landscape and we are looking forward to having your pup join us!!!
“Iuliia was super responsive and so accommodating as I requested a last minute booking to assist me with my cat. I really appreciate her flexibility and compassion for animals! Would highly recommend and reach out again.”
“Julie has been awesome with our dog! Very reliable, and gives detailed updates through out her drop in visit. Which kept my mind at ease, knowing my dog(Moose) is in good hands. Will definitely contact her again to take care of our dog . Thanks again Julie! ??”
About: I’ve grown up on a farm and taking care of various different pets and animals with different needs and personalities. I’ve taken care of both neighbours’ cats and dogs since I was 11 with some overnight visits! I’ve taken care of animals of various sizes from helping my uncle (who is a dog trainer) with small corgis to large German Shepards, Shelties and even Water Buffalos. I do like to get to know your pet, their personality, and needs. I like to set up a meet and greet first to get to know them and their routine. I do like long walks with a bit of some jogging — I’m very used to high energy dogs. I also have experience working in a doggy daycare that focused on positive reinforcement/training I’m on a very flexible schedule: during the day and/or afternoons. Let me know what works for you! I don’t have a yard and the only part is I live on a busy street. But I am willing to accommodate to client’s needs. My pets are back home in Hazelton, B.C. while I am here in Burnaby, but I am willing to bring them into my home for overnight boarding. I am able to come to you, if needed. I love and miss my own dog and cat back home, I would love to spread joy with taking care of another dog too I’m currently only working part time remotely from home, I’m pretty flexible on times. Just give me a message and we can work schedules together I have a non-fenced yard. I can also crate your furry friend, if need be. I live on the top floor of a quiet house
About: Hi! My name is Ghazal and I truly love dogs! My own dog is an English Cocker Spaniel(Waffle🧇) and he’s one of the cutest dogs ever! Unfortunately I couldn’t bring him here and he’s still back home. I miss him too much… that’s the main reason I started to do this:) I realized if I can’t play with my own dog I can get that satisfaction for a short time with someone else’s dog. I took my dog in when he was two months old and I raised and trained him by myself so you can be sure that your dog is in good hands!! Because of Waffle I learned how to deal with super energetic dogs and how to make them tired when they go for a walk outside so that when they’re back home they can just be cute and all next to their owner and go to sleep:)) Let me know if you have any questions or concerns I would love to have a little chat with you!
About: I worked for about 2 years in a dog daycare, so I’m used to being around different types of dogs and handling them safely in busy environments. I also helped with dog rescues back in Colombia, where I fostered dogs and supported organizations that care for stray animals. That experience taught me a lot about patience and understanding dogs with different personalities. I really just love being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available most days for walks and drop-in visits. I’m reliable and can adapt to your pet’s routine, and I’d love to make caring for dogs part of my daily life. I currently live in a rental where pets aren’t allowed, so I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’m happy to provide dog walking and drop-in visits in your home.
“Megan did a great job communicating with us throughout the visits and sending lots of pics & updates! We came home to happy cats and clean litter boxes too :) Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitters.”
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Burnaby stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burnaby choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
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.
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.
