“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.”
About: Hi there, my name is Kat :) I’ve been caring for animals since I was a young teen, not just dogs and cats, but horses and various farm animals as well! Through these diverse experiences I have developed a deep understanding of different breeds and their individual needs as well as passion for rescues! I’m also passionate about the care, attention, love, physical exercise, and mental stimulation that animals need to thrive. And have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, supporting with medical needs, and dogs with specialized training. I care deeply about the importance of providing consistent and gentle training for animals and am happy to follow your training preferences as requested! I grew up with 2 rescues, a beagle and a husky mix and was heavily involved in their training. I was also involved recently in the training of a puppy to be a therapy dog and have previously been certified as a handler for a service dog. I have been doing pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family for over a decade now and look forward to expanding out to meeting and caring for your furry best friends as well! 😊 I’m currently a part time student and otherwise am doing some low commitment volunteer work so I have lots of free time during my week to play with, walk, and visit your pups! I am very calm and patient with animals as they learn, and am happy to take the time to reinforce the good behaviours. I value consistency in training, care routines and play. I am quick to ask owners questions for any clarifications needed so I know I’m always actively supporting the animals success and individual needs.

I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I always treat pets like they’re part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am available all weekdays also i am available on weekends too. I usually am also available on holidays. Flexible schedule with the bookings . We’re a family of four with a big love for animals and plenty of space in our hearts (and home) for your furry friend. I’ve grown up with dogs and have lots of experience looking after them, from daily care to walks, feeding, and playtime. Our home is located in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks and trails that are perfect for walks. We also have a secure yard for outdoor time and plenty of space indoors for relaxing. Our family enjoys being outside, staying active, and spending quality time together and your dog will be right there with us on all our weekend adventures!

You only want the best for your beloved fur baby, and that’s what I’m here to provide. Your furry friend would bring a lot of joy to my life — and I to theirs. 🥰 I have a fully fenced backyard in the forest and a nice, big home for your pup to explore. I take a long nature walk every day and your pup is welcome to join me!
“Our previous Rover sitters were unavailable, so we were on the hunt for someone new. That’s when we reached out to Alex - she was prompt and very communicative with her replies which was a relief to us as we were so used to our other Rover sitters. Thank You Alex for taking care of our special boy during our vacation. We appreciate the care, attention and consideration to our needs, the daily photos and reports you sent.”
“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.”
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. In 2025, I started doing drop in visits for a friend's senior dog and enjoyed it so much I now have multiple local clients I walk and visit regularly. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior cats/dogs, anxious cats/dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs of all sizes. I am not a trainer but I have worked with certified AnimalKind trainers with my own dogs, and am familiar with common training practices. I can follow your training procedures while I'm with your dog! I've provided life long care and end of life care to 4 senior pets. 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.
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.
“It was my first time having someone drop in at my place to check on my cat while I was away and I think it went well! Andson provided detailed updates and photos of my cat at each check in. At one point, my cat had somehow unplugged her automatic feeder and knocked over the camera I had set up to watch her while I was away and Andson dropped by my place an extra time that day to replug the feeder and set the camera back on the table. I really appreciated it! I will definitely think of them again for my next trip.”
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.
“Brenna is so good with our odd cats. She is reliable, and they are always fine at the end of our time away. She has been great at picking up care for them when we've had emergencies, also. Really appreciate her flexibility and caring!”
“My cats love her company, and she is truly dedicated and kind with pets. I have no doubt about hiring her services and trusting her with the care of my pets and my home.”
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 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: Hi, my name is Jessica and I have years of experience both caring for my own pets, as well as those of friends and family. I understand the love and care that pets need to thrive and am more than happy to go the extra mile for pets that need a little extra care including senior pets, or pets needing medication. If you'd like to talk more about me caring for your furry friend, please don't hesitate to reach out! I currently run a remote business, so I have a very flexible schedule and can help out with your pets as needed. My schedule is mine to decide. I can board 1 or 2 bonded cats only, I have a separate space where they would stay that is very spacious and where I can go in and spend time with them. If there are pets to be cared for in your home, I can come and spend ample time with them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coquitlam
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 for Pet Sitting in Coquitlam on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,408 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Coquitlam. About 86% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Coquitlam stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
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.
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.
