“Meghan H. Is capable and compassionate. She interacted in an engaging and fun way from minute one. She came to house sit with my pack of three, and send pictures while I was away so I could see my pups in action.”
About: I offer dependable, on-time and super attentive drop-in care just for cats. With over a decade of experience caring for pets for family and neighbours, I know that a consistent routine is essential for a happy cat. When I visit, I’m all about your cat’s happiness: I’ll make sure they get the right food, fresh water, a daily scoop of the litter box and lots of playtime or just some quiet cuddles. I’m very organized, talkative and always send you updates and photos so you can always see how your furry friend is doing. I’m happy to bring in the mail, water your houseplants or adjust the blinds while I’m checking on your cat. I usually work from home, but I’m happy to adjust my schedule to better suit your needs. Weekends are open, so if you’re on vacation, I can either pop in for a visit or board them with me. This cozy home is filled with plenty of toys for your cats. They’ll enjoy the solarium, where they can watch the birds. I’ll keep the litter box clean and make sure fresh water is always available.
“Andrea spent 10 days taking care of my dog Vince, my home & all the outdoor plants. She always does an amazing job and I will continue to use her without any hesitation.”
“Chelsea watched my dog pepper for the entire day I was out for a hike with friends, she was friendly and did extremely well watching my dog. I would feel very comfortable having her back the next time I need someone to watch over pepper.”
“Kevin came and met our dogs a few times before dog/house sitting. He showed a genuine interest and liking to each of them. He took notes to make sure he remembered the important things. While away he sent multiple updates, pictures and videos illustrating his interaction with them. It sure eased any anxiety of leaving them. Would highly recommend Kevin to care for home and your dogs.”
“CJ and Kai were absolutely fantastic! My bulldog Tonka was in better condition than when I left him! He had all sorts of issues going on but I had to get surgery. They really took the time to understand his needs before and during the stay so I could totally relax for my surgery. They sent me lots of pics and updates leaving me completely confident that my boy was doing great. I would hire them again without hesitation. Thanks Guys!”
“Paula took amazing care of our pets and home while we were away. It is so nice to come back home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home :) Thank you for treating them so well, Paula.”
“Megan was Awesome! She was on time and had positive energy. She did everything I asked like taking all the pics I asked for, being sweet to Tonka and feeding him ect. Thanks Megan!!”
“Sheeba took excellent care of our dog! She sent pictures and updates that let us know our pup was comfortable and enjoying herself with toys and walks, which put our minds at ease. I think Mina fell in love with Sheeba (and Dave) and asked to stay with them again. 😉 Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Jeanot and Nicole! It was very obvious that Tucker's care and comfort were their #1 priority. Jeanot sent me regular updates, took Tucker on lots of walks, and went above and beyond when Tuck wasn't feeling well. Very grateful to have found such awesome sitters!”
About: I've had the joy of caring for dogs for over 20 years, both my own and for friends and family. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve provided everything from playful walks to medication support and cozy cuddle time. I’m retired and home full time, so your dog will get lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and loving supervision throughout the day. What sets me apart is the calm, nurturing environment I provide. I treat every dog like part of the family! with patience, kindness, and affection. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. Whether your pup needs a quiet place to relax, a slow paced walk, or just someone to sit with them on the couch, I’m here to help. My gentle nature and calm home are especially ideal for senior dogs, shy pups, or dogs who need a little extra reassurance while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a dog owner and lover, I’m home full time and available throughout the day to give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening cuddle time, I’m here and fully present. My son Alexander also helps out daily, especially with walks, playtime, and making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and companionship. Between the two of us, your pet will never be left alone, we work together to keep their routine consistent, stress free, and full of love. Weekdays and weekends are both flexible for us, so we’re able to accommodate early drop offs & late pickups! I live in a quiet, pet friendly strata complex with a fenced grassy backyard, perfect for safe & supervised potty breaks and some fresh air. When more activity is needed, I take dogs on leashed walks in our peaceful neighborhood to give them a change of scenery and a chance to stretch their legs. Inside, there’s plenty of room for zoomies, toys, and relaxed downtime. I keep the home calm, clean, and free of hazards, and I always make sure your pet has a cozy space to feel safe and comfortable. Your dog will be supervised throughout the day and never left alone for long. I also believe that clear communication is key. I’ll always ask about your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. Whether it's feeding times, potty routines, or favorite toys, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. Your pup's well being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and with my son Alexander helping me every step of the way, your furry friend will always have a familiar, caring presence by their side.
“We had Kerry watch our two dogs for a week. Right before we left, one dog started limping. Kerry went above and beyond … took him to the vet (with our approval), gave him meds, and re-arranged her schedule so she could be home with him. We are so grateful for the care Kerry provided while we were away. We also found Kerry to be very organized, with great communication throughout the stay. As a bonus, she left the house very clean. We would definitely use Kerry again.”
About: I’ve always had pets for as long as I can remember. I take my own dogs as well as friends dogs on walks. I am someone who my friends and family trust to leave their pets with. I have a German Shepard named hunter who is 12 years old and a little pug named Finn. I live in a large basement suite so if your wanting to bring your dogs to my house there is the option for socialization or if your puppy prefers alone time they will be safe with me downstairs:) I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for peaceful walks. If you or your pet prefers to stay in their own home I am also flexible with day visits or overnight stays, having had 2 pugs I am completely comfortable with dogs sleeping with me or wherever they are most comfortable.
“I had a wonderful experience with Rosalie looking after my cat and pup. She took thorough notes about my dog's routine and medical needs, which gave me a lot of confidence leaving my epileptic pup in her care. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear that my fur babies was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her. Thanks Rosalie.”
About: I’ve had a variety of pets since I was little and cared for them well. I am the go to for my friends and family when they are away. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and fish. I currently work from home so I am flexible with my availability daily and weekly. I also have a separate space for pets who need their own area to feel comfortable if they are staying with me. I have parks and trails for daily dog walking. I am able to be flexible with pets needs in my home or at a client’s home. As a pet parent myself, I also have experience with pet grooming and administering medications if needed.
About: Throughout my life, I have cared for animals, primarily dogs. I am continually expanding my experience. For eleven years now, I have been vegan, which illustrates my compassion for animals. I have limited working proficiency in French and Spanish. I am looking for extra work outside my regular schedule. I am available all day on weekends, as well as mornings, late afternoons and evenings during the weekdays. I have never owned a dog before, but I’m hopeful I will someday. I have taken care of dogs through family and friends, and I am constantly expanding my experience in this area. I plan to care for your dog with compassion, skill, attentiveness, and a sense of adventure.
About: I have more than 22 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as farm animals including chickens, pigs, alpacas, sheep, horses and donkeys. I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats for the SPCA and my local animal shelter. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, large dogs, multiple-pet households and animals requiring medication. I have a particular soft spot for big dogs, but genuinely enjoy animals of all sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments. I’m quiet, responsible and attentive to each pet’s routine. I know how important consistency is when their people are away, so I do my best to stick to their routines and do what I can to make them feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have flexibility in my work schedule and can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, medication, and company throughout the day. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so I’m happy with active dogs, but I’m equally comfortable with senior pets or animals who prefer a quieter routine. When house sitting, I’m able to spend plenty of time in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can remain comfortable with their usual routines and surroundings. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, crates, sleeping arrangements, door and gate security, and interactions with other animals. Having owned a home for many years and completed numerous house sits, I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted with both someone’s pets and their home. I’m tidy, respectful and careful to leave your home as I found it.
About: Experienced in compassionate dog care, including dedicated neighbourhood dog sitting and comprehensive kennel work. In the past I’ve participated in agility, showmanship and obedience competitions with my own puppy. I am currently available most anytime for pet sitting, dog walking and anything else your pets need. I’m dedicated to spending lots of time outdoor and would love to have some puppy company on my walks or runs. I can provide regular check ins and multiple walks throughout the day depending on what your pet needs. In my own home I have a senior dog so she only can manage short walks when it’s not to hot out.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chilliwack
Was very happy Chelsey was able to look after IzzyBella our 2 year old cat. Izzy has trust & safety issues as she had a very rough start to her life and was in a shelter for the first 7 months of her life. We knew Izzy would be nervous and appreciated Chelsey's calm demeanour and patience.
Connor stayed at our home and looked after our two medium-sized dogs for over two weeks, and he did an absolutely wonderful job. He followed all instructions carefully—including administering medication—and kept us consistently updated with messages, photos, and daily notes about the dogs’ activities and moods. Connor never hesitated to ask questions when needed and was always open, flexible, and cooperative whenever the dogs needed something different or when unexpected situations came up at our house. On three occasions, we asked for additional help at the last minute, and Connor went out of his way to accommodate our requests without hesitation. When we returned home, both dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for—no signs of anxiety, just two content pups who had obviously enjoyed their time with their new friend. We feel very lucky to have met Connor, and he is definitely part of the pack now! Thank you, Connor—keep up the great work! 😊

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chilliwack maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chilliwack walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Chilliwack 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
