“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”
“Anthony took great care of my cat when I was away, she is very anxious and shy but I felt confident leaving my cat with him, he even took my mail in and sent me updates and a little video to reassure me! I would definitively book Anthony again!!”
“Fiona did daily visits to our cat Kinder while we were away for a week. Communication was easy and she took a lot of time to cuddle with our cat and we appreciate that! Highly recommended”
“Carissa took great care of our shy girls! They warmed up to her quickly and seemed to have a lot of fun. It's obvious Carissa has a real affinity for cats; we'd happily have her look after our cats again. The cute pictures and detailed updates were an added bonus!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, and parrots. I love animals. I am always gentle with them and will play and pet your furry friend. I do gig work so my availability is fairly flexible. I can make changes when needed and can even do same day care if I’m free. I will follow your orders. I can watch your pets in your house and take them outside in the yard. I can walk them too.
“Marie was so helpful and great with our cat! Our cat is very shy with new people normally, but she went up to Marie right away and was very comfortable with her. She responded very quickly and was flexible with meet up times, highly recommend :)”
About: I’ve had pets all through out my life. I am very accommodating and have the most patience when it comes to animals. I love training, and am very familiar with the puppy phase, i’m a pro at midnight potty breaks. If your pet has any routines or weird quirks they enjoy, I love to provide! I currently volunteer at a local shelter and am starting a part time position in April, so I am very available right now, and will be flexible working around my schedule when the time comes. I love positive reinforcement, I don’t believe any animal being submissive or fearful is the goal, respect goes both ways. If you work on training or certain cues I’m more then happy to incorporate them in walks or with meals.
“Holly did multiple house visits with our dog. It is great to have someone reliable to come check on our pup and she has also accepted requests on short notice too. She is our go to person. Definitely recommending her.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, and by my teenage years I was the go-to pet sitter for friends, family and friends of friends. Over time, that turned into paid, freelance work caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I have experience with both kittens/puppies and senior pets, including those who need oral medication, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals at once while keeping their routines and needs separate and respected. What matters most to me is that your pet feels safe and not disrupted while you’re away. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every animal is different, and I follow your routines, your preferences, and your pet’s cues. Some animals want play and energy, others want space and a calm presence. I’m attentive to that and adjust accordingly. I’m calm, gentle, and patient with animals. I respect their space and let them come to me, which tends to work especially well for shy or more sensitive pets. At the same time, I genuinely love connecting with animals, so if your pet is the cuddly type, they’ll get plenty of affection too. Because I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility in my day. I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, whether that’s more frequent bathroom breaks, check-ins, or sticking closely to a specific routine. I offer a free meet and greet so we can make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. This also helps me understand your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them properly. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around visits, walks, and check-ins rather than trying to squeeze them in around a rigid workday. That means I can show up consistently, adjust timing when needed, and be responsive if something changes, whether that’s an extra visit, a longer walk, or a quick check-in. Since all of my services take place in my client’s home, my focus is on keeping things as familiar and consistent as possible for your pet. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay attention to your pet’s behaviour and comfort level, adjusting my approach based on their energy, personality, and needs in the moment. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets the right balance of care, whether that’s exercise, enrichment, or simply some calm company. For house sitting, I maintain a steady presence so your pet can stay relaxed in their own space while you’re away. I also take care to keep your home tidy and respected, so you can come back to everything just as you left it.
“My girl Teaka had a great time with Bailey. You could tell when i picked her up how they interacted together & she gave him kisses before we left. I had a full day of errands around Abbotsford / Chilliwack and coming far out of town it was difficult for me to syncronize everything but Bailey was so accomodating & it made my day much smoother. I would happily leave Teaka with Bailey again.”
About: I always dogsit our friends' dogs and I LOVE it. I have experience with animals that need special cares and I can manage a couch potatoes or an high energy pooch. I already walk or/and run daily with my dog. I have a big fence yard and work from home. My lifestyle fits well with having animals. I can have your furry baby for a few hours, days or weeks, depending on the fit and needs. I have two friendly animals (cat and dog).
About: With many years in the animal world, having grown up on a family farm, and having raised mini Aussies for many years, I have ample experience caring for pets. It is a passion of mine to ensure all animals are loved and well cared for, I thoroughly enjoy including all animals I care for into my daily adventures and active lifestyle. I work from home and would love to offer at home services to give your pet some extra one on one. I am a yoga and healing practitioner and love to extent my care and love to animals. I am stepping into the animal assisted wellness field and they are a big part of my work/life! I work from home and would love to offer your pups love, exercise, and some fantastic adventures along the way! I also raise Miniature Australian Shepherds and have come to understand doggy dynamics very well throughout my years as a breeder. I am happy to offer daily walks in the Comox Valley, and house sitting. Here I have 60 acres for dogs to run and play, spend time with other dogs, and enjoy my family’s companionship. There are outdoor dog runs if need be for my own dogs and an unlimited amount of play opportunities. Our dogs spend nighttime inside with us and we spend our days outdoors exploring.
About: I have done many long term and short term pet sitting jobs for friends, family and co workers since I was 10-12 years old. I worked on a volunteer basis at a family owned pet shop where I was the primary caregiver for the animals. I provided them with food, water, medications, extra care if needed etc. When my employer from the pet shop would go on long vacations I boarded their dog at my house while they were away. I have also done many smaller jobs in the past:) My work schedule leaves me plenty of pet time! I only work until the early afternoon from Monday-Friday and have a lenient schedule if emergencies come up! I have one dog, two cats and a horse of my own and have had experience with many others in the past, so i am able to cater to whatever your pets needs may be. If your pet requires oral medications or any other special care while being looked after i am more than happy to administer them.
About: I have taken care of animals as small as cats and Shih Tzus all the way up to Irish Wolfhounds and horses! No animal is too big or small! (Excluding boarding since I can’t exactly bring a horse into my apartment haha) I am currently working part time so I can likely find time to fit in the pup. I am quite flexible and the animals come first! At my home the puppers would have 2-3 walks per day and potty breaks every 2-4 hours depending on the pup! I have multiple great trails within walking distance and a plethora more within a short drive!
“Jillian is such a sweetheart, and my girl Roxy really seems to like her. She stayed with Roxy while my partner and I went out for dinner as Roxy has separation anxiety and Roxy was chill and slept while we were gone! Would recommend Jillian to anyone!”

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.

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.
