“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.”
“Riley was a fantastic dog sitter who cared for our two Pomeranians while we were away for 8 days. Having our dogs stay in their home environment was important to us as they probably would have been stressed in a kennel. Riley followed all of the dogs care, routine, feeding and walking instructions we provided. Communication was easy and prompt with daily pictures sent to us. This was the first time our dogs were left with someone other than family and Riley was careful to slowly introduce herself and waited until they were ready to greet her. Our house was left in a tidy, clean condition and more importantly our dogs were happy and well cared for. We would recommend Riley wholeheartedly to any person looking for care for their fur babies.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Morgan! With my permission, her partner also stayed here. They took such great care of my 2 dogs and of our home! They sent updates and photos daily! And they asked questions, if they weren’t sure of something. They are by far, the best sitters we have ever had! The only issue with me raving about them, is that they will get too busy! I want to keep them all to myself!”
“Megan was fantastic with watching our kittens for the night. She sent lots of pictures, videos and kept us updated at all times. Our shy kittens were comfortable with her super quick and adapted well. She accommodated our schedule on Christmas and was great with communication. She made time to met our kittens prior which made us feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend booking Megan for your pet sitting needs!”
“Olivia is conscientious, punctual and very well spoken. She was very good with Sasha, and we have already re-booked her to pet an house-sit during our next trip away. If you need someone to look after your pets, I highly recommend Olivia!”
“Paula took great care of Max for 3 nights/days. She sent plenty of pictures and Max was happy when we got back. Most importantly she followed the care schedule for his meds that were left for him to take 2 times a day. Would definitely use her again!”
“We had the pleasure of having Cara look after our dog, Finn, and she was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Finn looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house, Cara even went the extra mile and washed the linens. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. She truly treats your fur baby like her own!”
About: 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.
“Thank you Becky & Dylan for taking care of our little kids and our home. The pups were happy and the house was so well taken care of. You were both so easy to work with and the pups were so quick to like you both. We appreciated the photos and updates while we were away, you made us feel like we could relax on our trip. We would love to have you watch the kids again. Don and I would whole-heartedly recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again!!! Pibo, Lilly and Winston thank you too!! xoxo”
“Vivian was excellent. I am so happy, we loved her communication throughout the night, we received videos and updates. I felt very comfortable and our dog chai, who has separation anxiety felt good too. Thank you so much! We will book again :).”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep empathy for animals and a unique skill set. I have extensive experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors from a young age. Additionally, I'm well-versed in providing gentle care and attention to senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My dedication to understanding each pet's individual needs and going the extra mile to make them feel loved and secure truly sets me apart. I work from home and working from home gives me extra free time to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring their well-being. I provide dedicated in-home pet care by following the specific instructions provided by the client. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, ensuring playtime and exercise, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for their pets. My goal is to create a stress-free and loving atmosphere for their furry companions while the client is away.
About: I have 2 years of experience working in a professional grooming salon as a bather, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and temperaments. I’m reliable, patient, kind, and genuinely love being around dogs. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pup with the same care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dog. Whether it’s going for a walk, getting some playtime in, or simply keeping them company, I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and happy! My schedule is currently very flexible! I’m a part-time tattoo artist and typically only take one client per day, Monday through Friday. If I have a tattoo appointment, I’m usually only away for about 1–3 hours, so I have plenty of time available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. I’m also currently a nursing student, but I don’t start school until January, so I have lots of availability right now. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine and any specific instructions they provide. I want pets to feel comfortable and safe in their own environment, so I give them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while respecting their individual needs and personality. I’m very reliable and responsible, and I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I’ll always make sure your pup is well cared for, has everything they need, and gets lots of love while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old and have learned how to take care of pets because of this experience that I’ve had. I love my dog and love taking him for walks and seeing the smile on his face when I ring his leash. Im a graduate from Queens university currently living at home with my parents starting out in the real world. I’ve played sports my whole life and love to be active! Going for walks with my dog is a highlight of my day as it allows me the opportunity to get out and get fresh air while caring for my dog and making him smile. When we’re not walking, I love to throw a ball for him as it keeps my arm in good throwing shape, and is his favourite thing to do. I make sure I know about all their needs, and that they are always happy! I play with them frequently and take them for walks whenever it is needed!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience caring for pets of different sizes. I had two German Shepherds, a large Central Asian Shepard, and several cats, including Siamese and Persian cats. I also took care of my neighbors' smaller dogs, such as small terriers and Spaniels, and cats when they needed help. I'm comfortable with large and small dogs and can follow each other owner's feeding, walking and care instructions. I’m studying part-time and am usually fully available on weekend, and after 2 p.m. on workdays. Also, I can be available some workdays for the full day. I understand that every pet has its own routine, so I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and other basic care. I also make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and that the home is left clean, tidy, and secure.
“Steph was fantastic with our dog Kotnim. Our dog is a very traumatized rescue dog from a Korean meat farm. She is a nervous and shy girl that requires a lot of patience and medication twice a day. We left for two weeks and were very worried, but Steph did a great job with her while house sitting. She was very attuned to Kotnims needs and very understanding of the situation. She also took lots of notes about the job and asked great questions about our expectations, which made us feel very confident that she was the right fit for our girl. Thanks Steph! You have our recommendation!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicole, and I'm a 38-year-old Etsy shop owner in Maple Ridge. I've had family dogs my entire life, ranging from 8-25 lbs. And my wife, Nikki, and I have been sharing full-time Dog Mom duties for over 5 years. In October 2025, we lost our good boy, Eddie, after a long decline during which I learned to comfortably administer insulin. Now, our sweet rescue girl, Moxy (age 9 or 10), has no fur friends to spend time with. While not required, I prefer to care for dogs who are comfortable with Moxy tagging along for walks and house-sits. She is a well behaved, house-trained, 9-year-old Maltese-Mini Schnauzer mix who is, as we like to say, "just happy to be there." She is good with most dogs, but becomes avoidant of dogs who get overly excited and rough. She plays very gently. I am available for dog walks, drop ins or day sits anytime after 9am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Thursdays are my focused work days, so I am only available after 5pm. I am also available for pet sitting any day of the week, as long as your pets are able to be left alone for up to 4 hours per day on weekdays. For new clients, I would like to schedule an in person meet-and-greet to ensure we are a good fit for each other. If you’re interested, please send a message with details about your pets and desired services. I'm happy to answer any questions :) Thanks!! WALKING + DROP INS + DAY SITS I am available for dog walks, drop ins or day sits anytime after 9am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Thursdays are my focused work days, so I am only available after 5pm. **I usually take an hour during Mon/Thurs to take our dog, Moxy, for a walk, so I have room for 1 more doggo to join us during those days. HOUSE-SITTING: I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I’m happy to water your plants and bring in the mail, and I will of course tidy up to ensure you can't even tell I was there. I can provide you with frequent updates, along with cute photos and videos so you can feel assured that your pets are well cared for. I work from home, meaning your pets will rarely be alone. They will get walks, belly rubs, potty breaks, and play time as desired. My work schedule is mostly flexible, allowing me to give your dog or cat plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My job requires about 15 hours per week of focused time spent at my home office. That work is usually done on Mondays and Thursdays, however, I can spread it out over the week to decrease the time that I'd need to be away from your pets if your trip falls on those days. You know your pet(s) best, so we can discuss the preferred way for me to accommodate them. Please let me know if you're comfortable with our well-behaved, house-trained, small dog Moxy visiting your house or joining for walks with your dog(s). She'd love the socialization. But if it's a no, that's okay. Please note, I am not comfortable caring for pets who: - cannot be left alone - fight to receive required medication - are not spayed/neutered - are aggressive - are incontinent - are fully blind - are likely to require multiple bathroom breaks overnight - are over 40 lbs (unless they are calm/not jumpy and good on a leash). At this time, I'm not able to board pets at our home, but I'm happy to come spend time with your pets in the comfort of their home.
“Darlee jumped right in to look after our two puppies and 6 year old dog. They had a fun evening with her and she was very comfortable and communicative. We would definitely recommend Darlee to look after your pet.”
“Armina is very responsive and willing to help out. We had a blip in our petsit where the date slipped her mind (due to a family emergency), but was very apologetic and made it over for the pet sit as soon as possible which I appreciated. She provided plenty of photos and texting updates during her stay and followed the care routine. Thanks for your help!”

Thank you Becky & Dylan for taking care of our little kids and our home. The pups were happy and the house was so well taken care of. You were both so easy to work with and the pups were so quick to like you both. We appreciated the photos and updates while we were away, you made us feel like we could relax on our trip. We would love to have you watch the kids again. Don and I would whole-heartedly recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again!!! Pibo, Lilly and Winston thank you too!! xoxo
Paula was very prompt, she provided regular updates with photos of Casey, lots of walks and hugs. We were very confident during our trip that Casey was well taken care of and happy. Would not hesitate to have Paula stay with Casey again or to recommend her to my friends or family.
Stephanie is great! She took great care of our 3 cats and the house was clean and tidy on our return. Recommend her 100% without hesitation or reservation. Great communication skills and she went above and beyond expected duties. Best of all our fur babies were happy and relaxed!
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.
Couldn’t have been more fortunate to find Tina available on short notice. Wonderful lady with years of dog experience. Tina bonded with our dog Molly right away. We were able to enjoy our time away worry free knowing Molly was in great hands Highly recommend Tina!
Tatyana was wonderful! We got lots of updates with pictures and videos of Roux while we were away. She did some training with her as well. Tatyana stayed at our house and took very good care of it as well. And any time she needed to step out for a bit, her lovely mom came to spend time with Roux! We will definitely book with Tatyana again.
Tara was so attentive and a great communicator. She was very clear and upfront about her timing and her response time was extremely fast. I think our dog Oscar most certainly enjoyed her care, company and outings. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone who needs a Petsit and a house sit!
Davinia was an absolute gem watching my two fur babies!! I don't know who's separation anxiety is worse, theirs or mine, so leaving them for a week was very stressful for me, plus they are rescues from traumatic situations so they are still unsure about new people, especially my 3lb. chihuahua! They took to Davinia right away though, which is rate, but definitely put me at ease so I could actually enjoy my vacation and not worry the whole time. She sent updates and photos multiple times a day which worked perfect for me because I would have just been asking about them all the time otherwise. I'm so happy my littles were in such good hands and I that I have someone I can trust to look after them! Thank you so much Davinia!!
Armina is very responsive and willing to help out. We had a blip in our petsit where the date slipped her mind (due to a family emergency), but was very apologetic and made it over for the pet sit as soon as possible which I appreciated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coquitlam on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,016 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coquitlam. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Coquitlam 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.
Tip: 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 Coquitlam 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 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!
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, identity 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
