“Thanks to Andson and his wife for taking care of our cat. He is very happy and has been very cuddly during our first night, I'm sure he had a lovely time at your place! Looking forward to book you again in the future.”
“Brenna is so good with our odd cats. She is reliable, and they are always fine at the end of our time away. She has been great at picking up care for them when we've had emergencies, also. Really appreciate her flexibility and caring!”
“I have a skittish Bernadoodle that took too Maya instantly. We are very pleased to have found her, a great match for our pooch and home. What a relief! She's great and very communicative”
About: *When I offer boarding service, my cat would be separated from client’s dog through out the stay. My name is Lynzie. I have been a passionate dog parent and caregiver for over 10 years, with experience handling dogs of all ages, sizes, and special requirements. My journey began with my very first rescue—a Weimaraner born with a disability, which taught me early on the deep patience, gentle handling, and specialized care every unique pet deserves. Over the years, I’ve opened my heart and home to many furry friends in need: Senior & Special Care: I have lovingly cared for a dog through their golden years up to age 17, as well as taken in a rescued senior Pomeranian who needed a quiet, attentive home. I’m very comfortable with senior pet routines, medication administration, and extra TLC. Multi-Pet Management: I am no stranger to managing a big fur family! At my peak—while pregnant with my son—I seamlessly cared for three large dogs and four cats all at the same time. Whether your pet needs playful energetic walks, patient care for physical limitations, or specialized attention for seniors, I bring decades of real-world experience and genuine love to treat your fur babies like my own family. I work from home with a highly flexible schedule (outside of my son's routines), which allows me to easily adapt my daily flow to accommodate your pet's needs and preferences. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal daily routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. Customized Routines: I strictly follow your instructions for feeding, walking, play, and specialized care. Home Security & Cleanliness: I respect your space as if it were my own. I keep the area clean, secure doors/gates/windows, bring in mail or packages, and ensure your home stays tidy and well-cared for. Communication & Peace of Mind: You’ll receive updates with photo and video reports at my each visit, so you always know how your fur babies are doing. Calm & Adaptable Care: With years of experience with pets of all temperaments, I take time to build trust naturally—never forcing interactions with shy or independent pets.
“Kelly was great with Keira! She was communicative, responsive, diligent and kind. Thank you for accepting my last minute booking! It was a pleasure having you, would rebook for sure and definitely would recommend!”
“Viktoriia is so sweet and kind, I knew my dog would be so happy to see her and spend a little time with her, and he was! She sent me the cutest photo of him beaming at her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again next time I need a dog sitter :)”
“Justine took excellent care of my two cats while I was away and provided daily updates with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of my cats is diabetic and can be quite difficult when it comes to insulin injections, but Justine was incredibly patient and persistent. She never gave up, and eventually both cats warmed up to her, which was such a relief. I missed my cats so much during my vacation, but knowing they were in such caring and capable hands made it much easier to relax. I truly appreciated Justine’s professionalism, compassion, and dedication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I've cared for cats since 2014, and for the past 12 years they've always been part of my life. I'm especially experienced with senior cats, including those with kidney disease, cancer, high blood pressure and hyperthyroidism. My hands-on care includes hand feeding, giving subcutaneous fluids and medication, bathing, and keeping them clean after litter box trips. Senior cats need patient, attentive care, and that's something I know firsthand. I'm working part-time, so my days and hours are flexible. Just tell me your preferred schedule, and we can start from there and plan the rest together. I provide care in your own home, where your cat feels safest and most comfortable meeting someone new. No stressful car rides or unfamiliar places, just their usual routine with patient, attentive care..
“Tyra & Jack where amazing hosts, some of the best photos of our cat where received and we could tell he was in a very loving home. Would highly recommend and use their service again for future vacations. Thank you!”
About: Ever since I got my first cat at the age of 5 and my first dog at the age of 7 I’ve loved to care and watch a pet grow and change, both my dogs became more playful and happier as time went on, and it seemed like the walks and time spent together was just as fun for me as it was for them. Not only do I have experience in loving and taking care of my own pets, I’ve also done so with my clients’ pets, spending weeks at a time in their homes focusing on the pets’ needs and wants. I am available full time for pet care and walks, no matter the day of the week or time, your pet is certainly the priority. I spend as much time as necessary with the pet, whilst I enjoy that time myself, thinking of their well-being, all the fun they can have and as many walks as necessary.
“We left our little kitten with Zhaofen for about 12 days. She sent us daily updates, including photos and messages about our cat’s condition and how she was adjusting to the new environment. Fortunately, since her home is spacious and she also has a lovely cat named Kevin, it seemed like our cat had a great time during those 12 days. Zhaofen also returned all the leftover supplies we had provided, including dry and wet food and even the remaining cat litter. Compared to other sitters, her price was also more reasonable and economical. Thank you, Xiaofen.”
“Feena gave us so much peace of mind while we were away because she has prior experience with animals. We needed someone to come in and help our elderly kitty with her sub-q fluids and Feena did this and also sent us lots of photos which was so nice! We’ll definitely hire her again!”
“Leah has been taking care of our 2 cats twice now. Her caring and compassion is clear obviously she loves cats. Both cats have special needs; one is older and on Medications. The second cat a rescue and needs a very calm quiet approach She has handled both cats and is amazing. Highly recommend her”
“Morgan was fantastic. The kitty's are so happy to have been cared so well while were were away, and it was a great relief to know that they were in wonderful hands and well taken care of.”
“Gisselle came for drop ins during a vacation. She took good care of my cat, making sure that he's fed, has enough water, has a clean litterbox, gets playtime etc. Gisselle also made sure to communicate with me regularly thoughout her visits, which I appreciated.”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful. She provided lots of pictures and updates, and made sure to take extra special care of my cats when they were scared by the new years fireworks. The cats warmed up to her immediately, cuddling and spending time with her. She communicated any hiccups that arose, big or small. She was extremely accommodating in regards to meeting beforehand. She is a genuinely lovely person, and I am so grateful she is the one who took care of my kitties. I will not hesitate to have her take care of my cats in the future!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Coquitlam
Steph is truly the best cat sitter we could have asked for! We were away for two months, and she visited our cat, Tequila, every two days. She consistently went above and beyond, collecting our mail, watering our plants, and often spending extra time with Tequila, all without ever asking for a higher rate. What made the experience even more special was coming home to a thoughtful welcome-home note, fresh bananas, and croissants. It was such a lovely surprise and the perfect way to end our trip! Steph exceeded all of our expectations and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Knowing that Tequila and our home were in such caring and reliable hands meant so much to us. We would absolutely recommend Steph to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
We’re so happy we found Victoria! She is flexible, understanding, and most importantly, incredibly kind and gentle with our two cats. There were uncertainties with our travel dates and she was very accommodating and reassured us she will be available to take care of our cats. While we were away, she provided incredibly detailed daily updates including photos and videos. We came back to a clean home, happy cats, and we could tell she respected our space. We strongly recommend Victoria!

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
