“Andson was great at taking care of our senior cat and giving her medication daily. He was always on time and great at sending us daily photos! I would definitely ask Andson to watch Tigger again in the future.”
“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.”
“Lisa is sensational. She is warm, lovely and so caring. Immediately after meeting her I felt I could trust her with our nervous rescue dog . Our dog immediately warmed up to her, Lisa had fantastic communication, sent tons of amazing photos of our dog during her visit, and took great care for her. I would absolutely recommend Lisa for any pet services. I know we sure will be. Thank you again!!!!”

About: I was a dog-mom for 8 years before losing my boy to cancer in June 2024. Believe me when I say, I love dogs more than I can put into words. They are a constant reminder of what is good and beautiful about this world and I truly do love them all like they are my own. I am exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled at caring for senior dogs with high medical, emotional and physical health needs as well as anxious dogs. While my dog was with me, he was under the care of a Naturopath, a GP vet, an Internal Medicine Specialist and a Cardiologist, and he attended biweekly Hydrotherapy sessions in early 2024. He also ate homecooked meals, under advisement from his Naturopath, before transitioning to speciality food. I am available to help in Coquitlam , Port Coquitlam and Port Moody so, drop me a line -- I can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby :) I work from home 3 days a week so, I can make time to walk your dog (within Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody) or, if you'd like, I would look after your dog in my home office while I work. I would look after your dog in my home office while I work. I have a small fenced yard for doggie potty breaks. With regard to doggie daycare, I'm looking to work with just one family at this time so that I can provide care for your fur baby with undivided and uninterrupted attention.
“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!!”
“Alex took great care of our senior dog for 3 days. She sent us updates with photos and followed our instructions well. She also helped put our meal delivery away in our fridge and placed other delivered packages safely inside our home. Would highly recommend Alex!”
About: *When I offer boarding service, my cat would be separated from client’s dog through out the stay. 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.
About: Ever since my childhood, dogs have been an integral part of my life, thanks to my parents who instilled in me a deep love and respect for these wonderful companions. Now, as a proud dog owner myself, I share my days with my beloved canine friend, Bobbi. His presence brings an unparalleled joy, and the bond we share is something truly special. Working from home provides me with the perfect opportunity to shower my furry friend with the attention and care he deserves. Bobbi and I enjoy spending quality time together, be it playing in our fenced yard, going for long walks, or simply lounging indoors. I'm proud to provide a smoke-free and drug-free environment, ensuring the utmost safety and well-being for all our four-legged guests. Photographing dogs has become a passion of mine – capturing their unique personalities and moments of joy brings me immense happiness. Our home is not just a place to stay; it's a haven for dogs to play, relax, and feel cherished. I look forward to extending that love and care to your beloved pets, creating a home away from home for them. I am working from home everyday (8-16). I always take dogs out for potty break before me starting my day. At noon, I will let dogs to have a break in the yard. After work, I normally take dogs for a walk or go to the dog park for 40min-1hr. Before bed, there will be another short potty break. I live in a townhome with my partner where we have a fenced yard where my dog Bobbi always plays his balls there! No kids! No smoking! No drugs!
About: I have 7 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m calm, confident, and genuinely love connecting with animals. I’m comfortable working with untrained or anxious pets and help them feel safe and cared for. I offer walks, home visits, and overnight stays—always with attention, patience, and kindness. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or evenings, I’m happy to provide care when it works best for you. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries. I follow instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine a priority. I have reliable transportation and can get to you quickly if needed. I’m happy to send updates while you’re away.
“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: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals wasn’t just a responsibility, it was a way of life. Over the years, I’ve also shared my home with beloved dogs and cats of my own, giving me a deep understanding of the love, patience, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to understand the animals, emotional, and physical needs and adapt accordingly. As an experienced Airbnb host, I understand the importance of respecting your home as carefully as I care for your pets. Whether your companion needs energetic walks, gentle companionship, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I am comfortable administering medications as directed, monitoring your pet for any changes in health or behaviour, providing wound care, and skilfully and confidently following veterinary instructions after appointments or treatments. My goal is simple: to ensure you return home to happy, healthy pets and a home that has been cared for with the same attention and respect I bestowed on my Short term rental property. I have the experience and expertise to handle any event that occurs in a capable calm manner. This is my retirement job and I’m so excited about it. It is in my nature to nurture animals homes, and of course, my kids and grandkids. I am a positive influence and addition in any role that I take on. This is also an opportunity for me to be active and connected, which is very important to me. Pets are best served by being in their own space where they are familiar and comfortable. Walks are provided that are adventurous or calm, depending on the needs of my current walking companion. Attention to detail will be provided in their maintenance feeding routine and healthcare guidelines provided by their owner and or veterinarian. I am skilled at administering medication and providing wound care.
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.

I am not a trainer but I have worked with certified AnimalKind trainers with my own dogs, and am familiar with common training practices.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coquitlam
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.🥰
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Coquitlam is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 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 4,502 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
