“This has been the first time to have use Rover for a dog sitter. We were skeptical at the beginning but Angela reassured us with her phenomenal daily updates, along with photos which made us feel at ease with leaving our senior dog for a week. She went above and beyond to make sure our senior dog had his daily medication and good walks. We highly recommend Angela to anyone out there that was in the same boat as us. She truly cares for all the animals out there. Thank you again Angela!!”
“Tanya is so wonderful! She was communicative, diligent, and well attuned to our 1 year old puppy. She made the whole process easy! We would absolutely book with her again.”
“I cannot recommend Yihan highly enough! I had to leave town for work, and my usual backup (my son) fell through. Yijan graciously accepted the cat sitting request on very short notice, and I will be forever grateful. She provided the absolute best care for my cat, Rocky. Every day, she sent me detailed updates and wonderful photographs, letting me know how he was behaving, eating, and adjusting. This communication gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, it was incredibly obvious that she is a true cat lover. Rocky was happy and relaxed when I returned home. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be booking her services again. Do not hesitate to trust her with your furry family members”
“Debbie looked after our Toro a couple of times now, she's always punctual and reliable, and she's great at sending daily updates and pics. Definitely would use her service again!”
“Ema and Cindy took such good care of our dog while we were away for two weeks. They have us photo updates and were very thoughtful and caring. We were able to meet them before our trip to meet our dog and see our house. Everything went smoothly and will definetly be using them again. Very happy with our first rover experience and with Ema and Cindy looking after our puppy!”
“The most mindful, polite and truly loving pet-sitter I have ever come across. If Rover's sitters were even half as considerate, mindful and compassionate as Nasrin, the world would be a much better place. She truly has a connection with all animals, and animals with her. I would hire her million times. Highly recommended.”
“Jessica stayed with our senior dog Mable in our home for 5 days while we were out of town. She was attentive, communicated with us well and sent lots of photos. Mable seemed content and was spoiled with fun sniffing games, as an injury kept her from her usual walks. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
“Jenny took care of our anxious dog while we were away. She is a great communicator and shared daily updates and photos. This was amazing because we're always worried about Benny when we leave. He looked relaxed and settled with Jemny watching him.”
About: I’ve spent many years working in animal care, starting as a kennel assistant and eventually managing a busy daycare and boarding facility in Saskatchewan. After that, I moved to working as a receptionist/attendant at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable knowledge about the medical side of caring for animals. Since moving to Vancouver, I’ve had the chance to work in a bustling urban doggie daycare, giving me hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. With over 7 years across kennels, clinics, and daycares, I bring both knowledge and genuine care to every dog I look after. I moved to Vancouver from Saskatchewan over a year ago. I am currently a student studying ASL and Deaf studies in order to become an Interpreter in a few years. I live in a suite with a fenced yard that is located right across from a nice park. I have two small Yorkshire terriers that enjoy playing or a long nap. They are well acquainted with dogs of any size.
“Riley has now taken care of our 3 chihuahuas at least 3 times, and each time we are so happy with the care and attention she gives them. We are so grateful and highly recommend her services. She is very polite and respectful and trustworthy.”
“We had a pretty last minute booking and we were so glad that Clarice was available. She was able to come in and take care of our cat right away. She contacted us quickly when our cat threw up (was just a hairball!) and thoroughly clean up after. It's always a pleasure to book with Clarice!”
“Dmytro was amazing with my anxious dog. It was sweet seeing them getting closer on the photos. The house was as clean as I left it. We would definitely book him again. I highly recommend him to anyone with anxious pets. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We were so happy to have Shiva watch Penny while we were away! Definitely helped to know that she was in good hands and we loved getting the videos and photos so that we could see that Penny was happy and relaxed!”
“Megan was fantastic with watching our kittens for the night. She sent lots of pictures, videos and kept us updated at all times. Our shy kittens were comfortable with her super quick and adapted well. She accommodated our schedule on Christmas and was great with communication. She made time to met our kittens prior which made us feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend booking Megan for your pet sitting needs!”
“Daisy was so well cared for by Pavlina. She looked healthy and happy on our return. I think she is trimmer from all the walks!! We will definitely try to rebook Pavlina for future dog sitting! Thank you so much for your care of Daisy! Our vacation was worry free knowing she was in such good hands! The regular updates and pictures were perfect!”
“Heather stayed at our place with our dog Stanley for 3 weeks while we were in Europe. She sent through detailed updates, pictures and videos and dealt with a few unexpected house issues that came up so professionally too. Our dog can be nervous with new people and has some reactivity. Heather was professional, understanding and really loving towards Stanley. We could tell how experienced she was with dogs. Stanley was so relaxed when we got back and we could tell how well he had been looked after. Thank you so much, Heather!”
“Cara has become part of our family. She loves our babies and keeps them safe and happy when we travel. Cara has a wonderful connection with animals and any pet parent wishing to travel without their precious babies, would be very lucky to hire her.”

“Xiaotao was prompt and attentive. She asked all the necessary questions and was available on a short notice. She followed Leo's schedule, gave him his medicines and also took him for his walk. She is kind and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet-sitter.”

Xiaotao was prompt and attentive. She asked all the necessary questions and was available on a short notice. She followed Leo's schedule, gave him his medicines and also took him for his walk. She is kind and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet-sitter.
Alisha took great care of our anxious cockapoo and our home. I was nervous leaving Beau for a 12 day trip but Alisha made sure he was comfortable and loved and kept a regular routine that really helped him stay calm. She was very diligent with updates and she left our home sparkling. We will definitely hire Alisha again!
Brianna did an amazing job with our very new rescue pup and grouchy senior cat, it is a lot of work for one person and we came home to happy and healthy pets. She was super accommodating and helped us have a great vacation knowing the zoo back home was being well taken care of.
Spoorthi is an amazing sitter! My cat is shy and always uncomfortable with strangers. With Spoorthi, he warmed up quickly and was very happy. He is also a very high maintenance cat and spoorthi followed all care instructions with great attention to detail. She also promptly sent pictures with updates regularly. Needless to say, I was at peace during my vacation. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.
Thank you Sabine for a great visit. Appreciate your timeliness, cleanliness, attention to detail. We felt confident you were looking after our home and two dogs well. Thank you for being communicative with us about the dogs- the daily pictures were appreciated. We arrived home just the way we left it- Cooper and Murphy were in great shape.
I honestly couldn't be more grateful for Jacqueline's approach to house sitting. She was very professional: she was quick to respond to any communications and seemed genuinely determined to ensure that we would be satisfied with the experience from start to finish. But she was also friendly and and easy going- amenable to the quirks of our house and generous in arranging her arrival and departure around our schedule. While we were away she sent video and photo updates, allowing me to completely relax and not worry about the pets or the house, which was a first. And when we returned the house was spotless and I mean SPOTLESS. We found ourselves wandering around trying to find evidence that she was here because it was so clean. This was my first experience hiring someone that I didn't already know to house-sit, and I was a little nervous. But she put me completely at ease during our first meeting, and delivered far more than I expected during her stay. I would recommend Jacqueline to anyone.
Amani did an excellent job of looking after Bella .She communicated often with me letting me know how things were going, I could tell from the photos that Bella was comfortable with her. She found interesting things to do with Bella like going to the local pet store to see Santa! I would definitely use Amani again,
Ruby was house sitting our cat Benji for a week. She sent daily updates and did a great job making sure Benji’s regular feeding schedule was being maintained. She also took Benji on his daily walks outside which we were thrilled with as Benji goes out on a leash only and is very used to his outdoor time.
We have been away for nearly five days and entrusted our beloved cats to Ayami's care. Despite her demanding schedule and professional obligations, Ayami managed to provide exceptionally efficient and dedicated care for them, demonstrating great passion. The cats appeared to adore her. By the end of the first day, we felt completely reassured by her presence. The cats were very content with her and maintained their usual appetite and playfulness. We wholeheartedly recommend her services.
Julie was amazing! I needed an overnight sitter last minute for my two Shih Tzus, and she was so quick to help. My dogs have never stayed with someone new before, but they were totally comfortable with her. She sent me photos and stayed in touch the whole time. Highly recommend her to watch your pups! 🐾
