“Maya was absolutely great with my boy. She arranged for a short visit a day earlier to meet Milo and take notes about his daily care routine. Then she arrived on time when I needed her, took excellent care of milo, sent me lovely pictures and was even able to feed my extremely picky baby. I will definitely seek her services again and again. Thank you Maya.”
“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!”
“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 :).”
“Paula took care of our 12 week old puppy as he was recovering from his vaccinations. Paula cleaned up multiple rounds of vomit with no complaints. She was attentive and caring, giving us updates throughout the night. Booking with her was easy as she responds quickly. She even rearranged her schedule so it would fit ours better. We will definitely be reaching out when we need a sitter in the future!”
“Catalina was great! Our dog can be pretty shy with strangers and not want to interact but she seemed immediately comfortable with Catalina. We came home to a tired and happy pup.”
“I’m so happy that my little Rio got to stay with Sandra! She was amazing, asked all the right questions in order to properly take care of my puppy, and connected really well with him. He really liked Sandra! I Couldn’t be more happy with having her spending time with Rio! I highly recommending her for anyone looking for a great person to spend time with their furry babies!”
About: Back home in Italy, I have a 14 year old Chihuahua and a 9 year old Aussie, so I’m used to two very different ends of the dog spectrum! Whether your dog is a couch potato who needs extra patience or a clever pup who loves long walks, I’ve got you covered. I'll make sure they get plenty of belly rubs and feel right at home!🏠🐶 Since recently moving to Canada, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets while I look for full-time employment. As I’m actively exploring work opportunities, I’m taking things day by day, so the earlier you can get in touch to arrange a booking, the better, as I may not always be able to commit too far in advance. Weekends, however, will always be available! Whether you need daytime walks, house sitting in the comfort of your own home, or overnight boarding, I’d love to help and make sure your pups receive plenty of love, attention and care. 🐾 I live in a dog-friendly condo equipped with a secure gated patio and a convenient building dog-washing station! Back home in Italy, I raised a Chihuahua and an Australian Shepherd, so I am very experienced with safety, routines, and giving pets a clean, loving, and secure home environment
“It was our first time leaving Ellie our dog with anyone for over a week and we were very nervous going on vacation. However, Qiqi exceeded our expectations and allowed us to have a relaxing vacation while she house sat our dog. From countless updates, videos, and photos to taking her out to enjoy Halloween festivities, she went beyond just feeding and walking our dog. Her kindness towards us and our dog will not be forgotten, and we will see her again the next time we are away. Thank you Qiqi. - The Karamloo Family”
About: hello im Niki! Having been surrounded by pets during serveral years I have developed a great love for and compassion with animals. And now, being without my own pet for the first time in my life, I do what fills me with happiness and energy; caring for other’s pets. So I offer you my service. As my references will attest I am exceptionally good at what I do. I am a caring, attentive, responsible, detailed oriented person, committed to developing a trusting, safe, and caring relationship with your pet(s) and you😊. Our pets personalities are as diverse as ours, some high energy needing unleashed play and long walks, or more mature ones seeking leisurely strolls and contemplative siting. Although I’m not a self-proclaimed “trainer” or “whisperer”, I do understand the importance of patience, tone, and consistency in working with animals. And I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets. Please feel free to contact. I’m currently working as a full time. Work 5 days per week on Monday-Friday , 8:00-4:00pm. Available before and after work. But I’m flexible and my partner works from home. So your pets will never fell alone! Feel free to inbox me! I'll ensure that your pets are kept safe, clean, well-fed and healthy even when you’re not around. 📝 I provide live updates with lots of pictures and videos, and a detailed log of meals and excretions so you can rest assured. Feel free to reach out anytime! I look forward to hearing from you soon 😊
“The most mindful, polite and truly loving pet-sitter I have ever come across. If Rover's sitters were even half as considerate, mindful and compassionate as Nasrin, the world would be a much better place. She truly has a connection with all animals, and animals with her. I would hire her million times. Highly recommended.”
“Darlee took amazing care of our home and cats while we were away. Both cats are seniors and need frequent wet food feedings as well as one is diabetic and needs oral medication at set times. They are very needy needing lots of attention and when we got home they seemed perky and happy. She took great care of them, communicated well, and left the home in a very clean shape even putting her bedding in washer before she left. We were very impressed.”
“Katrina was fabulous! Took excellent care of our very anxious dog while we were able to enjoy an evening out. She sent lots of photos and worked hard to make him feel comfortable. 10/10 for sure!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life as well as looked after other dogs starting from a few hours to multiple days. I love learning your dogs personalities and interests. Will care for your dogs as if they were mine. I am a student and part time worker so can take care of your dogs in the evening or Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day. I have experience walking and training my own dogs. I love spending time and learning dogs personalities. I am confident I can support you and your dogs needs.
About: I've taken care of dogs in my family ever since I was young. From young, rambunctious puppies to older and wiser dogs, I've had some experience with them all. With my experience and genuine affection for animals, you can trust that your beloved pup will be in loving and capable hands. I am currently working part-time and have consistent days off. When I'm not at work, I am often spending my time outside exploring - and I would love to bring your furry friend along! I live in a house in South Burnaby with a semi-fenced-in backyard(there is one walkway that leads to the carport that does not have a fence). There are dog-friendly trails and parks nearby that are perfect for walks. Happy to discuss any special needs or questions!
“Michele was wonderful and everything went perfectly. Michele sent pictures of the walks and kept me informed at all times. Great communication and prompt in our initial meet. My first experience using Rover and was a great siccess”
“Jacqueline was so good with our 16 1/2 year old blind and deaf lil lady. We hate to leave her at this stage but felt so comfortable with her in Jacqueline's hands. Kayley didn't have any anxiety with us not being there. She slept well, ate well and looked like she enjoyed her daily walks. Jacqueline made sure to send us updates along with pictures. Not only did she take good care of Kayley, she was also very respectful of our home leaving it clean and tidy for us upon our return. Thank you so much Jacqueline!”
“Natalie is a top tier pet sitter! So happy I booked with her, she was responsive and great at sending photos. She not only took exceptional care of our cat Winston, she left our place spotless. I have come home from a two week vacation, to a happy and very well looked after cat! So so so pleased with the care Natalie provided.”
About: I love being a pet sitter because it allows me to do something I truly care about — spending time with animals and making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy playing with pets, feeding them, taking them for walks, and giving them the attention and care they need. If your dog loves socializing with other dogs, I’d be happy to take them to the dog park (if that’s something you’re comfortable with). I’m also happy to accommodate any special routines, hobbies, or needs your pet may have. I have my own dog, Teddy, whom I love more than words can describe. He is a very special part of my family and has taught me so much about patience, love, and caring for animals. Being around dogs brings me so much happiness, positive energy, and peace. I’m also working toward becoming a professional dog groomer because I want to continue learning and improving my skills in animal care. I treat every pet like they are my own family, and my goal is for your furry friend to feel loved, happy, and secure while they are with me. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to create a fun and loving experience for them! Every Friday and Saturday I am free for now and I’ve tried to make more time to do this lovely job it will be happening soon. I just want to start with walking with these angels ( dogs ) but absolutely I can care of them on my clients home sometimes.
“Debbie looked after our Toro a couple of times now, she's always punctual and reliable, and she's great at sending daily updates and pics. Definitely would use her service again!”

Maya was absolutely great with my boy. She arranged for a short visit a day earlier to meet Milo and take notes about his daily care routine.

I will definitely seek her services again and again. Thank you Maya.
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!
We booked Morgan and Roberto to watch our dog Mochi for three weeks while we were away. They provided daily updates and it was quite clear that he was being well cared for and loved. We came home to a happy and healthy pup and a well maintained house. Rest assured that if you book them, your fur baby and home will be in good hands.
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.
Karolina was great! We had a super last minute booking which Karolina was able to accommodate no problem. She was responsive and professional! Really got to know Bruce’s schedule to cater everything to our wacky energetic puppy! I know he’s crazy and she handled it with ease. Sent lots of updates which put my anxious mind at ease. Will definitely be booking with her again! 😌
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!!

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.
<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 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, 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
