“Andson provided incredibly attentive care to my cat Rupert. He had great communication and provided clear and thorough updates. I came home to a very happy cat!”
“Alex was great! She was very responsive during the booking process and even came over for a meet and greet on the rainiest day of the year! She immediately got along with our dog, Moose, and sent us pictures and updates during their walk. We'll definitely book her again!”
“Paula is a fantastic pet sitter, followed all our instructions and was friendly, very conscientious and communicative. We could not have asked for anyone to take better care of our cats and would not hesitate to book her again.”
“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.”
“Brenna was excellent with our unusual cats. They were clearly happy with her care. She followed our directions and it all worked well. Her cleanups after their initial upsets were flawless. Will definitely book her again.”

About: Hi there! I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I was finally lucky enough to get my own dog in 2007. Buddy was my amazing companion and taught me so much. He unfortunately passed away in 2022 and I was/still am devestated. I'm excited to be able to surround myself with dogs (as my hubby (Josh)and I are not mentally ready to get another one). My husband Josh is amazing with dogs, he always treated my dog as his own (one of the reasons why I fell in love with him)! I am a home-based travel agent which allows me to book trips for you and watch your pup while you're away! This allows me to have an extremely flexible schedule to better care for your pup! I love exploring new trails and parks, taking pictures and I have tons of toys and games and enrichment for your dog. We look forward to sharing our home and hearts with your pup! Being an home-based travel agent with no structured schedule makes it easy for me to be flexible with my schedule. I'm available for daily walks (whichever length is needed), daily dog sitting (at my condo) and overnight boarding (at my condo). I provide lots of toys, healthy treats and snacks and puzzles for enrichment. My condo is in Port Coquitlam and I'm on the ground floor for easy accessibility. Must be potty trained. I live in a dog friendly condo in Port Coquitlam. I'm on the ground floor for easy accessibility. There are several parks and trails near my place. I have a car to take dogs further out of Poco to try new parks and trails. I also have dog stairs for easy accessibility for small or older dogs to get onto the couch or bed. I also have a dog stroller to take on walks if I have dogs of different energy levels. My husband also helps me out with taking care of the dogs when he's home. He's great with them, one of the reasons I fell in love with him, he treated my dog like his. All the dogs are allowed on the bed and couch.
“Ellie is exceptional! This was my first time booking through Rover and Ellie made the whole process stress-free and easy. She is prompt with responding and sending update photos and write ups on how the visits go. I cannot express enough the quality of attention and love she gave to my cat. I highly recommend her and will book with her again!”
“We've been using Alicia's drop-in visits for a while now and it's amazing how great she is with our cat Hippie. He loves her, she sent us a bunch of pictures and videos and I can see the great time they are having together. She's very caring, super responsive, so we highly recommend her and we'll check with her first for any future trips we decide to do.”
“Tammy is a gem! •Friendly & very proactive about kitties health & wellbeing. •Comfortable about giving meds (oral & injectable). •Extensive vet tech & personal experience looking after kitties. •Max & Monty warmed up to her right away. •I can relax while the boys are under her care. •I’ll 100% continue to book her. 😻”
“Pamela is an amazing sitter. This was our first time leaving our dog alone for a last minute trip, and I'm glad we chose Pamela. She is straightforward and approachable for any requests we need for our little one. I felt safe knowing our dog is in good hands. She is detailed and gives updates and pictures during the visits, we will definitely be booking with Pamela again, thank you so much!!”
About: Having grown up with dogs, cats, horses and other animals, my passion for animals and animal care began young and has been lifelong. At a young age I became the trusted dog-sitter for friends & family, often doing overnights even as a teenager. As a young adult I have eagerly continued to care for friends pets as they travel or have work/ life commitments, and am exited to continue to do so for Rover clients. Within the last few years I have lived in a household with 2 large huskies, one with reactivity issues, and was a regular part of their daily feeding, care and exercise routines. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and reactivity levels. Please reach out if you have any specific questions or concerns. I currently have very flexible availability, and will do my best to adjust to your needs! Please reach out if you have any specific dates or times you would like that you do not currently see in my availability. I like to adjust to you and your pets routines as much as possible, to make the transition to a stranger easiest as possible on your pet. I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with you and your pet as well, so they have the opportunity to meet me before our first walk and/or my stay. Please let me know any specifics about your pet and/ or things they may need to feel most comfortable and relaxed while I am caring for them.
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.
About: I've been taking care of my family pets for a total of 22 years.. I absolutely love animals. I enjoy taking nature walks with dogs, and cuddling with cats. I am used to and comfortable walking strong dogs and am comfortable with pitbulls (I have been around them my whole life). You can count on me to treat your fur baby with love and care! I am a stay at home mom to school aged children so I am currently free during my days/weeks to take care of your furry friends! I will always follow your pet-care instructions! I will clean your cats litter box, pickup your dogs waste and give your pets all of the attention and love they need and want while you are away!
“Chelsie was awesome! Leo (cat) loves her. She obviously gave him lots of love and attention. Everything was clean and tidy. She sent us clear messages and photos. I definitely recommend her to mind your fur babies. Thanks so much, Chelsie!”
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. However, please note that I live in a townhouse and dogs are not allowed to go on 2nd floor because I find it very hard to clean the carpet. Otherwise I would love to see them going everywhere around my house, even on my bed! Hope you understand. I would also set up a air bed in the living room sometime—just to sleep with your fluffy child! 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 😊

Angela helped me take care of my dog while he was recovering from an injury.

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.🥰
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!

- 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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!

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.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
