About: Animals are my absolute passion, and caring for them is a central part of my life. While I am not quite ready to adopt a pet of my own permanently right now, nothing brings me more joy than giving love, attention, and dedicated care to your pets when you need a helping hand. I bring years of hands-on experience to the table, including deep experience with senior pets and special medical needs. For 16 wonderful years, I was a proud pet parent to my own dog toby, i got when I was just 15 years old. He was truly my child. As he grew older, at the age of 12 he got cancer . Thankfully he had surgery to remove it and fully recovered. He live 4 more amazing years after. Sadly at age 16 he developed heart issues that required daily medication, Because of this journey, I am completely comfortable and highly capable with: • Senior dog care and recognizing changes in energy or comfort • Strict medication schedules and pill administration • Gentle, compassionate handling for pets who need a little extra patience In addition to my deep love for dogs, I also love cats and have had them as pets as well, so I am equally happy to care for them.

I also live wirh my sister who is home full time since she works remotely and loves helping care for animals as well. I live in an apartment.

About: My journey as a pet parent began in 2010 with an 8-week-old puppy, followed by his daughter, both of whom I raised and cared for through every stage of their lives. While they are currently enjoying life with my parents since my move to Vancouver, I miss the companionship of dogs dearly. Having raised a dog from infancy and managed a multi-dog household for over a decade, I am deeply experienced in puppy training, senior care, and everything in between. I treat every guest dog with the same love and attentiveness I gave my own for the last 14 years. I am currently at home full-time while I focus on securing an articling position in law, which means your pet will have my constant company and undivided attention throughout the day. Because I am studying and applying from home, I have an exceptionally flexible schedule and can easily stick to your dog’s specific routine. Whether it is a weekday or a weekend, I am available for frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and long walks on the lovely trails right next to my apartment. Your pup won't just be 'stopped in on'—they will have a dedicated companion for mid-day belly rubs and consistent supervision to ensure they feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. Your pet will enjoy a calm, dog-friendly apartment featuring a private, secure patio for fresh air and relaxing. We are perfectly situated right next to a beautiful walking trail and a local dog park, making it easy to provide plenty of exercise and socialization tailored to your dog's energy level. Having raised my own dogs for 14 years, I am highly attuned to pet safety and behavior. As a future legal professional, I pride myself on being extremely organized and communicative—you can expect regular photo updates and the peace of mind that your pet is in a secure, loving, and highly responsible home.
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.
“Xinmiao took such amazing care of our pets while we were away! She followed all of our care instructions in detail and even shared videos of them with us each day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and in such good hands. It was such a pleasure having her care for our pets, and we truly appreciated the attention and care she gave them. We would happily have her look after them again!”


About: I've had animals for my entire life and was brought up with dogs of many sizes and breeds. It brings me great joy to look after animals of any kind, even the ones considered creepy and crawly. My approach is a thoughtful and caring one that aims to observe a dog/cats boundaries and work with them respectfully. I have looked after dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and know how to build a relationship with animals through care, observation, and consistency. I am currently a biology student whose goal is to pursue animal research and nature conservation. This means I will take an extremely thorough approach to caring for your animals and do any necessary research in order to better look after them. It's my passion in this field that helps me understand and work with animals. I am an extremely enthusiastic sitter and take great delight in getting to know animals and spend time with them. Whether cat, dog, or otherwise, I am looking forward to meeting them and giving them the best care possible. My weekly schedule revolves around college, I have 3 classes a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are usually long gaps between classes where I can check in on an animal or walk/feed them and I do not need to be at school all day. From Friday-Monday I have no scheduled commitments and can commit fully to looking after a higher maintenance pet. If you invite me into your home, I will be completely respectful of your animals routine and will do what it takes to keep that up for them. Whether it be walking, cuddles, playtime, baths, or anything else, as long as I have the information then I can do it. I prefer to have a document on hand of your pets needs, either digital or physical, so that I can provide the best care possible. With new animals my first objective is always to pay attention to their needs and communication styles so I can give them whatever they require. Establishing trust always comes first for me, with you and your animal. If you have any questions, needs, or concerns about care, please don't hesitate to bring them up with me. Daily updates through text can also be provided if that is something you would like while away.
“Feena was such a wonderful sitter, so kind, caring, and attentive! She even took my pup for a walk during the check-in, which was so thoughtful. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”


About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover with previous hands-on experience owning and caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, patient, and caring to look after your dog, whether they love long walks, playtime, or simply companionship and attention. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of real pet care experience and my Dogs & Cats First Aid Certificate, giving owners extra peace of mind knowing their pets are in safe and responsible hands. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, comfort, and behavior, and I always adapt my care to match their individual needs and personality. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether it’s energetic walks, calm companionship, feeding routines, or lots of affection, I treat every dog like family and always aim to provide dependable care and regular updates for owners. Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychiatric Nursing. My studies have helped me develop strong skills in patience, responsibility, communication, and compassionate care — qualities that I also bring into pet care. I’m passionate about animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. I currently have a 4-year-old cat and previously owned dogs, so I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I also hold a Dogs & Cats First Aid Certificate, which gives me the knowledge to respond calmly and responsibly in unexpected situations. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I attend school on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which means I’m available to provide dedicated pet care from Saturday through Tuesday. During my available days, I can focus fully on walks, drop-in visits, companionship, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide reliable care, patience, attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I provide pet care based on each pet’s individual routine, comfort level, and personality. My apartment is cat-friendly, making it a calm and safe environment for feline care when needed. Unfortunately, my building does not allow dogs, which is why I mainly focus on dog walking and drop-in visits at clients’ homes for dogs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive attention and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also help with litter box cleaning for cats, potty breaks for dogs, and maintaining their normal daily routine to reduce stress and anxiety. For dog walking services, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs. Whether your dog prefers a calm walk or more active exercise, I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive interaction. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I provide regular updates and treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would give my own.

About: Hi, I'm Karlee! I'm a grad student who pretty much grew up taking care of a zoo and absolutely adores animals of all shapes and sizes -- furry, feathery, scaley, or hooved. Whether it's bottle feeding 7 kittens at one time, pulling porcupine quills, caring for a senior epileptic puppy mill dog, searching mountainsides for baby calves in a snowstorm, or providing first aid to alpacas, there isn't much I haven't seen or experienced. Now, onto how much I will love your pets (which is the most important part)! I have always had a lot of animals and had to leave many at home when I first came to Canada for university from the US in 2017. That inspired my love for dog walking and pet sitting, as it gave me an outlet to love everyone else's animals when I couldn't be with my own. I now have my own chickens, geckos, and two border collies, Buzz and Eddy. We are very active in the local dog sports community. This has continued to foster my love for animals and provide me with even further experience working with and around different types of dogs and their needs. I have also worked at a local structured boarding/daycare facility since 2024, where I have gained extensive experience caring for, managing, and fulfilling the needs of numerous dog breeds and personalities ranging from people/dog friendly dogs to human reactive and dog aggressive dogs. I can have a chill couch day with the calmest of them or provide enrichment, structure, and adventurous days for the busiest of minds. There isn't one animal I don't adore, and being a student who works remotely, I have a lot of flexibility and time to devote to them and a lot of extra love to give to them. It gives me something great to look forward to, and you the peace of mind when you're away from your best friend(s)! As I work from home, my schedule is extremely flexible to be able to cater to the needs of your pets, whether it be a drop-in visit or a walk. I own two high-energy working breed dogs and am used to spending lots of time both inside and outside training them and meeting their needs in many different ways, so I am thrilled to get to know your pet and what makes them happy and satisfied. Let's chat and we'll figure out a schedule that works for you and your pet! My goal is to keep your pet as happy and comfortable as possible while you're away and I will work with you to figure out the best way to do that -- whether I am picking your pup up for a walk and taking them to a local trailhead, taking them for a stroll around the neighborhood, playing fetch or practicing training in the yard, or giving your kitty or other four-legged friend some affection and play time.

“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.”

About: I recently finished at UVic and am now back in Coquitlam, and being around animals is one of the things that makes me happiest. Being away at school made me miss my childhood dogs so much, so getting the chance to spend time with pets again truly means a lot to me. I have a 15-year-old dog at home who I absolutely adore, and caring for them has taught me a lot of patience and attentiveness, especially with dogs of different ages. I’ve had the opportunity to foster dogs with Little Paws Rescue, volunteer at the SPCA, and work with pets at Petland—so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all kinds. More than anything, I just genuinely enjoy being around them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I would treat your pet like my own and make sure they get all the attention, care, and cuddles they deserve. I’d be so happy to meet you and your furry friend—feel free to reach out anytime As a full-time online student, my schedule is flexible, which means I have plenty of availability to spend quality time with your pups! Whether you need someone for regular walks, spontaneous outings, or extra care throughout the day, I can easily work around your schedule. I will do whatever I can to make sure your dog feels completely comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Whether that means adjusting the pace of our walk, spending extra time playing, or making sure they have their favourite toy or blanket.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Coquitlam
We have has bad experiences with sitters, so we were anxious heading into this care but IMMEDIATELY felt relief. ELKE IS WONDERFUL! I have never felt so secure in leaving my dogs in someone’s temporary care, and treating them as sweetly as we do. I will be absolutely booking Elke again in the future. Thank you so much!

Angela helped me take care of my dog while he was recovering from an injury. When I first met her I could tell right away she was very knowledgeable with dog behaviour and care as well as a true animal lover. My dog took to her immediately. She helped with leashed walks for my dog as well as administering medication. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was receiving attentive care while I was away from home. I will use Angela again for dog walking/dog visits and would highly recommend her to others.

Scott was a lifesaver. Flight cancellations left me stranded in Prince George for three days, and because I had recently moved, I didn’t have anyone nearby who could check on my dog. Scott had walked my dog a few times before, though it had been months since I last booked him. When I reached out, he came by first thing the next morning and fit in additional visits that day and over the following days. He made sure my dog had food and fresh water, and locked up securely after each visit. Scott is dependable, trustworthy, and kind. Knowing my dog was being cared for took a huge weight off my mind. I’m very grateful and would gladly book him again.

We have had such an incredible experience with Brenna! She is reliable, caring, and clearly goes above and beyond for our dogs. There have even been a couple of times when the app had issues with the lock/door access, and unfortunately I was away on vacation and wasn’t able to help. She handled everything professionally, reached out to our emergency contact, and made sure she was able to get in and take care of the dogs without any stress. She is communicative and trustworthy with our dogs.🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Coquitlam is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,270 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Coquitlam. About 85% of Coquitlam 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Coquitlam 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
