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.
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!
“Tanya is excellent. She provides gentle care and lots of photo updates. Our kitties are both quite shy, but they warmed up to Tanya faster than anyone else we've introduced them to. We'd highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a pet-sitter.”
“We appreciate her help for our two cats!! We’re away for 9days but we didn’t have to be worried about the cats because every time she visited our cats she sent some pics and videos, which made us feel happy and relieved! When we got home, everything was fine. We definitely ask her to take care of our cats next time as well;)”
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.
About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, cats, and even a few farm animals, I learned early how to feed, groom, and help with basic vet care and beginner dog training. I’ve cared for pets from newborn kittens and puppies to sweet senior cats and dogs, and even helped supervise my grandma’s cat during labour — what an experience! Since then I’ve raised my own Yorkie, helped caring for my roommate’s Devon Rex cat, and dog-sat a friend’s Shiba Inu, taking her on hikes, long walks, and beach days with my equally pet-loving partner. I’m home most of the time taking an online course and preparing for nursing school, while my partner works from home—so your pets will get plenty of love, walks, and attention. My partner and I live in a pet-friendly apartment steps away from several dog parks. We both love hiking and beach trips and can easily drive your pets for longer nature walks.
“Angela was wonderful, she went above and beyond to make sure Whisky (black cat with big feelings and sharp mittens) was cared for. Communication and care was impeccable! Whisky and I had a family meeting and would absolutely ask Angela back!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love cats and pay attention to their individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats, enjoy giving them plenty of playtime and attention, and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every cat as if they were my own and keep owners updated so they can relax while they’re away. I’m usually working in the mornings, so I’m available after 3 PM. Since I genuinely love cats, I’d much rather spend my free time with them, taking care of them, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I currently provide cat care in the pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I’m responsible, reliable, respectful of your home, and always on time. I take your trust seriously and make sure your cat receives safe, attentive, and loving care.
“Justine did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away. I felt confident that they were safe and happy during her visits. She is a fantastic communicator and sent lots of great photos and updates during each of her visits. I definitely recommend her and will book with her again if I go on another trip :)”
“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!”

“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: 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.
“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: Born and raised in Vancouver. I’m a working professional in the Brentwood, Burnaby neighborhood. I live alone in my apartment that I own. My last dog, Carrie sadly passed away from old age in 2022 after happily living for 14.5 years. I do not presently have my own animal. With my new job, unfortunately it doesn’t allow me to be at home as much as I would like to be to care for another dog. Therefore, I’m using this opportunity on Rover to spend quality time with other dogs. I’m truly a dog person.. I love dogs more than I like people! My favourite movie growing up was Air Bud and I always wanted a dog ever since. I think about dogs too often for someone who currently doesn’t have a pet! I am hoping to meet some of your dogs in the neighborhood. I live close to a couple of dog parks, as well as large grass areas near by my home. I also own a car and can drive if necessary. I am primarily available weekends and evenings. Tuesdays/ Wednesdays are my work from office days, but I may be flexible to shift my in-office days. My home is always clean and tidy free from any food debris or dangerous objects on the floor that an animal can get to. So that’s chocolate, garlic, etc. As well, toxic plants will be put away ahead of time during time of care of your animal.
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.
“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.”

Samantha was amazing, she took great care with babies and was very attentive to all of our instructions! We loved having Samantha taking cares of our cats, and definitely recommend her! Always punctual, trying her best to interact with them, respecting their boundaries, and earning their love ❤️
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burnaby on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,481 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Burnaby. About 85% of Burnaby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
