About: I've been pet sitting for the last 7 years and have experience sitting dogs and cats, but open to taking care of other furry friends! I work fully remote, so I have the flexibility to be available and present anytime! When I am pet sitting, I prioritize the needs of the pet and work around their schedule. I love walking and enjoy getting outside throughout the day, so daily walks is a must for me. When it comes to being a guest in someone's home, I take this responsibility very seriously. I am extremely conscientious and responsible, and will always inform the homeowner should I have any concerns or questions. That said, I've never had any concerning incidents or issues during my years of house/pet sitting.
“Yiran is such a fantastic cat sitter. She was incredibly attentive to both our resident cat and her foster brother, and it was clear right away how comfortable and caring she is with cats. Yiran followed all guidelines perfectly, including administering medication, feeding routines, and making sure they got plenty of playtime and affection. She also kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to calm, happy cats and a clean space. I highly recommend Yiran to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented sitter and a genuine cat lover.”

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.
“We were blessed to find Iris on Rover. This was our first Rover experience and Iris was awesome. She has such a kind and thoughtful nature that showed through from first meeting her to each visit update. In addition, Iris is adaptable and creative. Our two cats are healthy and well cared for during our absence thanks to Iris. I highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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! ??”

I understand how important it is for your dog to feel comfortable and secure. Under my 24/7 companionship and care your pup will be in the best hands. I'm devoted to showering your pet with attention, affection, and playtime. 🐶 Growing up surrounded by my brother's German Shepherd and Golden Retriever, as well as my husband's 10-year-old Japanese Spitz in the family, has taught me to take care of small, medium and large dogs. In Canada, I share my apartment with the cutest 1-year-old female Lhasa Apso who always wants new best friends. Together we shall be creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for your pup. 🌳 Our home is conveniently located adjacent to a dog park, providing opportunities for outdoor adventures, socialization, and exercise.

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.

Iuliia was fantastic. Communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout, and she took excellent care of our cat and our home. Everything was exactly as we left it, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands. We would happily book with her again. Five stars!
Shiyao was a wonderful cat sitter to our kitties, Poppy and Daisy. She was very responsive every time we contacted her. She sent pictures and videos to us at every feeding and the cat feeding area and litter were always very clean and tidy. Our kitties were well taken care off-happy and healthy upon our return. Shiyao also was very mindful and careful with the security of our home, making sure the house was alarmed after each feeding. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone responsible and who will love your kitties while you are away. Thank you, Shiyao! We look forward to having you cat sit when we are away next time!
Amanda was so amazing! She was very easy to communicate with, and she was very proactive with learning the care routine for Zoe and arranging for key pick up and drop off. Most important of all, she took such good care of my cat when I was away. I’m so happy I found Amanda and will definitely book with her again!
This star sitter took on my very last minute request during the holiday as a brand new client. This gave me the ultimate peace of mind while I traveled to see family and I felt complete trust knowing my dog was well taken care of with updates and photos. I could see his relaxed and happy expressions in all the pictures I received. Coming home to a happy dog created an excellent experience. I strongly recommend Olga as your next pet sitter!
Anna is a very professional and warm sitter. We contacted her on short notice for a drop-in visit, and she truly exceeded our expectations. Our cat, Pudding, is usually shy and not very interactive, but during Anna’s first visit we could tell he felt comfortable with her right away. Besides feeding him and refilling his water, Anna spent extra time playing with Pudding and keeping him active. It was very reassuring to see how relaxed and happy Pudding was—almost as if we were still home with him. We would absolutely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
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.
Penny was fantastic. She’s caring, responsible, and genuinely attentive. She kept my place tidy, spent real time playing with the kitties, and made sure they stayed engaged and comfortable the entire stay. If I could give her six stars, I would. Highly recommended to book with her!

- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
