“Tanya was a great cat sitter! Frankie warmed to her quickly, which is rare. Tanya handled given multiple oral injections for our senior kitty with health needs. She kept us informed of how Frankie was doing and left our place tidy. I am always nervous about leaving Frankie with a stranger, but meeting Tanya left me at ease. We will definitely book her again. Much appreciation!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own two poodles since 2021, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to your dog. I’m very active and love walks! so your pup will get real exercise. I’m also attentive to each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a bit more patience. I treat every dog like my own and always provide updates so you feel completely at ease. I’m based in Concord Brentwood which is famous for its dog walking scene!

I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Yang! She took care of our two cats for three days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated throughout her stay, regularly letting us know how the cats were doing and sending us lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We came home to two happy cats, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her look after our cats again!”
“As usual, Alicia took great care of our beloved cat while we were away! We are grateful to have her visit him, we have total peace of mind. She also sends great pictures :)”
“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.”

“Anna was amazing! She was regular with her updates, sent photos and videos, and my cat seemed to really like her. She left the house in great condition and was flexible when I accidentally booked an extra day, lol. It was such a relief to feel like my cat was in good hands while I was on vacation. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Angela did an excellent job caring for our kitties while we were away. She supplied great photos; we could tell that our cats were having a lot of fun playing with her. Sometimes when we return from trips they are grumpy because we have been away. That was not the case this time! They clearly felt very comfortable in her care. That definitely made it easier for us to be away. We were so pleased with Angela and highly recommend her!”
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.
“Lexy is a fantastic cat sitter and did an amazing job taking care of our cat. Our cat is pretty shy but she managed to gain her trust from the very first visit. It was really nice to know she was there while we were away and we loved the daily pics! We will definitely be asking Lexy to cat sit again when needed.”

About: (Hi! You can call me Kelly if my legal name is a bit hard to read ;D) Hello! I am a Burnaby resident who is looking for cat-care, dog walks, and any pet boarding! I grew up with a pet cat at home and I am very experienced in taking care of pets (always helping my friends with their cats/dogs), the longest pet sitting I have ever had was with a cat for two months. My schedule is flexible, please don't hesitate to let me know when you are in need! I am currently working part time Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday and at home all day on the other days. I’m very flexible on my schedule and time for pet care. I live in a basement with one roommate and the house has a big backyard. Cats are totally acceptable but I cannot host any dog inside, I’ll play with the dog in the backyard or in the nearest dog park. I am also happy to be boarded at the client's home.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 8 years old. I had 2 dogs and 2 cats in my life. I’d say that they had a very good life when they were with me. Friends and families relies on me when they need me to do a pet-sitting. I was responsible to bathe them, make sure that they have nutritious meals and drinks, potty train them, walk them, bring them to the vet when it’s needed, play and entertain them, and always make sure that they’re happy. I’m currently working evening shifts, so I can pet-sitting your pets in the morning till afternoon before 3 PM. Then I can go back to pet-sitting again and staying at your place at night time after I finish my shift at 11 PM. I normally petsit with my partner, Cindy, and she works from home. So she can provide the care that’s needed for your pets while I’m away for work. I can take care of your pet at your own place, because unfortunately my apartment is not pet-friendly. This is one of the reasons why I want to do this job, so I can be around my client’s pets.
“We feel so lucky to have found John! It’s hard to find pet sitters qualified to take care of exotics. We have 2 elderly bunnies and one needs medication daily. John handled it no problem and kept us updated when one of them wasn’t acting himself. We also have a very shy cat that really came out of her shell with John. I was surprised when I got pictures of her hanging out among the other pets and getting head scritches from John! Throughout our trip we got frequent updates and great communication. We will absolutely be using John again.”
“Karina really went above and beyond when checking in on June and took away so much of my anxiety while being away. She sent a detailed update with many photos each day and it is clear that she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. This was my first time using Rover and I truly could not have asked for a better experience.”
About: From a young age, I have been immersed in caring for animals, especially cats. Growing up on a farm where we bred cats, dogs, and rabbits and raised chickens, I learned early on how to connect with animals on a deep, soulful level. My father, who worked in various animal-related roles, taught me the importance of treating all animals with respect and love as equals to humans. I've cared for cats and kittens since I was a child, and my mom lovingly called me "the cat dad" because of my innate ability to understand them. This lifelong experience has instilled in me a compassionate approach to pet care. As someone who works from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friends. Whether you need daily visits, extended stays, or just someone to check in on your cat while you're away, I'm here to provide reliable and loving care whenever you need it. Your cat’s well-being is my priority, and I’m available to accommodate a wide range of schedules. When your cat is in my care, their safety and comfort come first. My home is a hazard-free environment where your pet can relax and feel secure. I understand how to create a calm and stress-free environment. Whether it’s providing the right food, plenty of fresh water, or cozy spots for naps, I take every detail into account. You can trust that your cat will receive attentive and loving care while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life! I love dogs and animals of every kind. I have volunteered at the BCSPCA before and understand the care that animals need. I am not working and at home the majority of the time at the moment, therefore, I have much more availability to give your dog the care and attention they need! As a dog owner myself. I have an enclosed yard, lots of chew toys, and many different treats to keep your dogs happy and comfortable!
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burnaby
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!

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.
