“We couldn’t be happier with Andson’s care for our cats while we were away. He didn’t just check in and feed them, he truly engaged with them. He played with them every day, making sure they felt loved and entertained, which was so important for our peace of mind. We looked forward to his photo updates; it was a huge relief to see how happy and relaxed the cats were. On top of all that, Andson noticed one of our plants was looking a bit rough and took it upon himself to water completely outside of what we had asked him to do. That little extra effort really showed how observant and caring he is. And when we got home, the litter box area was absolutely spotless, better than we left it! We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and responsible cat sitter. If you’re looking for someone to not just feed your cats but actually care for them, Andson is your guy. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“We were very happy with Ellie's care for our cat Parker. She was consistent in her daily visits and provided detailed reports with lots of photos and videos which was reassuring while we were away. We came home to a happy cat!”
“Leanne was awesome with my cats, one of them had a hard time to adjust to be without the family but she took the time to adjust the routine and find ways to make it work, at the end it was like they were friends from years! She sent updates and made sure my kitties had playtime and didn’t feel lonely. I would book her in the future.”
“This is our first time using Rover to arrange cat-sitting and Averi was great to work with! She was very quick to respond via Rover when booking - and I appreciated the photos and updates she shared about our cat while we were away camping. We'll be using her services again later this summer as well - thanks Averi!”
“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 :)”
About: Hello! My name is Laura and I am a stay-at-home-mom just getting back into the workforce! I've had a lifetime of experience with cat and dog guardianship. In 2025, I started doing drop in visits for a friend's senior dog and enjoyed it so much I now have multiple local clients I walk and visit regularly. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior cats/dogs, anxious cats/dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs of all sizes. I am not a trainer but I have worked with certified AnimalKind trainers with my own dogs, and am familiar with common training practices. I can follow your training procedures while I'm with your dog! I've provided life long care and end of life care to 4 senior pets. This included giving subcutaneous fluids to a senior cat and giving multiple medications and specialized foods to both cats and dogs. I also have my animal first aid certificate through Red Cross. As a dog guardian, I know how important it is to have a routine. My schedule is flexible and I am usually able to accommodate the needs of my clients and their pets. Our current dog is anxious and reactive. At 55 pounds she can be a handful while on walks. I have special routes I take which limit her interaction with others and keep her below threshold. I also have high traffic walking routes I frequent with my social clients who love to say hello to everyone they meet.

Knowledgeable in dog body language and socialization skills with other dogs and people. Experienced with majority of breed types, ages, and educated on specific breed traits, as well as varying levels of dog reactivity. I currently have full time availability Sunday-Friday from 8am-8pm.

About: I have been a dog trainer for the past 26 years and I have had pets all my life. I know how important it is to find someone reliable to take care of your pet while you are at work, or away. I have had my fare share of dog walkers cancelling at the last minute so I know the frustration with finding a reliable and responsible person. I am now 50 years old and will be there for your dog or cat, as agreed and as needed. I recently lost my big Rhodesian Ridgeback. We hiked every day for his ten year life. He was a well trained (by me) but spoiled boy who slept in my bed and was allowed on the sofa. I would treat yours based on your own rules but they would be loved and completely cared for. I find myself not wanting another dog of my own just yet but wanting to take care of others while I have the time. * House sit at your home two dogs max * Dog walking one hour up to 3 dogs max * Home visits 20-30 minutes My schedule is open but new dogs I will book solo so we get to know each other first. I can do day or evening walks, any day of the week. Can do stays or sits in your home for two dogs max. Currently only doing sits in the pets homes where they are comfortable and will follow the house and pet rules in their own home environment.
“Tyra and Jack took great care of our two one-year-old-and-super-energetic cats (Haku and Mia) as we needed a last minute cat-sitter for a few days. Tyra made sure her apartment was cat proof and was happy to serve them raw food (which requires space in the fridge + weighting for each meal). She even offered to go the pet shop as we miscalculated the amount of food needed (??) She kept us updated every day with lots of photos (?? thanks so much). I could tell they were having lots of fun. Haku and Mia were a little stressed at first to be in a new place but by the end of their stay, they were super cuddly with Tyra and Jack, with lots of purring. ? We will definitely trust Tyra again for taking care of them.”
About: I have worked at a rescue, as well as in ER/ICU. Those jobs have given me hands on experience for giving oral/injectable medicine, as well as what to do in emergencies. I am very interested in dog training and behaviour, and firmly believe in fear free approaches. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and know how to handle any temperament or size. I have also worked with guinea pigs, rabbits, birds (large and small), mice, and reptiles. Rover is my full time work, so I am available for whenever needed, barring overlapping visits. I am able to go between houses during the day. I will adhere to instructions left by owner(s), as well as respect that I am in your home. I will make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable, and like they have an extra friend to help them while you are away.
“Vivian accepted a long house and cat sitting position on short notice to help me when my arranged sitter had to cancel for an out of town emergency. She followed the instructions for Mo’s care closely and I came home to a healthy cat who was not suffering from any of his common stress related issues. The video updates she sent showed me she was indulging him in all his favourite activities and he was relaxed and at ease. I am very grateful for the care Vivian provided for Mo, he is healthy and as happy as a cat who is mad at their owner can be ;)”
“Feena has pet sit for us twice now and puts our mind at ease with our senior cat (previously cats). She’s able to administer medication and really makes us feel comfortable when we do have to leave our girl.”
“Morgan quickly developed an amazing rappport with Jackson. Jackson is quite slow in feeling comfortable with new people and very stand-offish. He warmed up to Morgan so nicely. He appeared in many videos and pictures which kept me at peace being away from my boy. Morgan followed all the household directions; mail, watering plants, recycling, etc. Morgan was communicative and available throughout the booking. I recommend Morgan to other "pet parents".”
“We are so happy with Natalie's house sitting! We were concerned about finding care for our 2 week vacation when our normal sitter was not available. Luckily our stress was all taken away because Natalie did such a fantastic job looking after our two cats. She gave us regular updates and was able to administer an inhaler every day to our cat with asthma. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we returned and our home was very clean. Would not hesitate to book again.”
“Nicole was absolutely exceptional! Zeus had a really hard time adjusting initially and she looked after him with ease and expertise. She truly went above and beyond and I'm so lucky we chose her. By the end of his stay, Zeus was happy and comfortable, and had fit in with everyone beautifully while we were gone. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
About: I’ve had my cat - Olive the past two years. He genuinely brings so much joy into my life. He comes camping, is leash trained, knows tricks and loves to chat! I started cat sitting for friends and began to fall in love with getting to know different cat’s personalities. I always want to make sure they are comfortable and properly cared for. I understand how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your cat. That’s why I’ll always treat them as my own! I’ve completed tasks including: - scheduled feedings/water changes - administering medications - litter box cleaning - play time and enrichment - cuddles and scratches - provide detailed updates with photos and videos - set up of pet cameras (if needed) I work Monday - Friday from either my home, office, or in the field. My work is relatively flexible as I can make my own schedule most days. I generally can visit in the early mornings or after work. I have a vehicle so it’s easy for me to get around the Lower Mainland. Pet care fits into my daily routine with my own cat. He receives three feedings per day with periodic dry kibble. He has tv time, play time (30 min - 1 hr), tricks and treats, cat shelves/trees/scratchers, and daily quality time. He goes on weekly leashed walks and occasional camping trips. This is with the help of my partner. I ensure your cat feels comfortable before entering. I understand body language and when a cat wants to be approached or pet. I make sure to follow guidance provided for feedings and medications. I have a deep understanding of what cats are allergic to and will conduct a hazard assessment during visits. I always provide photos, videos, and detailed messages.
“Darlee was absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! And would be so happy to have her watch our little Garfield again! Sh was able to meet all of his needs and more. It was our first time leaving him alone, and so we were quite nervous, but she made it very easy to relax while we were away and sending updates and photos the entire time!! very grateful to know that their is someone out there who cares so much about cats, and does such a great job at doing stuff”

This is the third time we’ve hired him to look after our cat, and we’ve had a great experience every time! He’s reliable, caring, and gives us peace of mind knowing our cat is in good hands while we’re away. We would absolutely recommend him and will definitely book with him again!
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!
