“First time using Rover, Ben was great as this was the first time Charlie went with a stranger for a walk. Charlie warmed up to him quickly and I believe this is a start to a good thing. I recommend Benjamin for sure.”

“Erica is calm and kind with our new pup Indie. She is understanding and takes the time necessary to allow for a puppy to adapt to new surroundings and people. We got an amazing update and photo shoot following Erica's walk with Indie which was very much appreciated on Indie's first day home alone! Thanks, Erica!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and starting dog-walking for neighbours at a young age. Frequently entrusted to dog-sit for friends and family. Currently I own one cat. Currently I am available both AM and PM on weekdays and weekends. Right now I am working part-time remotely so my schedule is quite flexible! I live near a park that is great for daily walks with dogs. It has an off-leash area if that is allowed for the dog.

“Kate is awesome! They are friendly, communicative, reliable, and very good with our pup. They helped with dog sitting when Petunia was a very young puppy and was super helpful in ensuring consistency in her care and training. They also take P on walks regularly and I’m grateful to have someone we can trust with our dog and in our home.”

“Buddy does really well with Karen. We’ve discovered he has some separation anxiety when “he” leaves the house & that’s why Buddy will only go so far. He actually walk the trusts Karen & walks farthest over all of our family. Now that he marks his different paths with her, he can check out more places so that is awesome.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for friends’ cats, small and medium dogs in Vancouver. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, dog walking, playtime, and basic grooming. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving an energetic dog enough exercise or providing a calm, quiet environment for shy or independent cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, depending on the service, and I can accommodate regular visits, walks, or extended care with advance notice. I make sure pets receive consistent care and companionship, not rushed check-ins. I have several years of experience caring for friends’ cats with different personalities and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, deep-cleaning litter boxes, brushing, and interactive play. I understand that cats need patience and consistency, so I take time to let them approach me on their own. Whether your cat is social or more reserved, I focus on keeping them calm, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I recently said goodbye to my two senior pets, my sweet greyhound and my talkative Siamese/Himalayan mix, who lived to 14.5 and 17. After years of loving and caring for them, I find myself missing the daily rhythm of walks, meals and quiet cuddle time. That’s why I’ve joined Rover: to share my time and care with other people’s beloved pets. I’m experienced with senior animals and pets with special needs. I’ve helped with mobility issues, administered oral medications, applied ointments, and handled daily routines with gentleness and patience. I’ve also walked and cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments including golden retrievers, border collies and amstaffs. So I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities and energy levels. Along with my personal experience, I’ve also provided pet sitting and drop-in visits for friends and family over the years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. If you’re currently working on training, I’m happy to help support your efforts by providing consistent, positive reinforcement during our time together. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and encouragement. I work in communications and marketing. With a hybrid work environment, I have the flexibility to support your pet’s needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel supported. Happy to offer meet & greet at your home (if it’s for drop-in service), parks and public spaces to ensure you and your pet are comfortable with me.

About: I grew up with a lot of animals. I feel happy spending time with them and they are indispensable to me. and I love animals! I'm finishing school so I can spend more time with pets. The job is part-time so it's very flexible and pet sitting fits into my lifestyle. We have a fenced yard where they can play outside in safety, and we have an old golden retriever who is very friendly and affectionate

About: I've had a passion for dogs and cats ever since I was 8. I got my first dog when I was 14, and we have been inseparable ever since. Throughout the past 4 years I have had her, from when she was a toddler to a mean teenager, I have trained, bathed, and walked her. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play and walk some dogs! If you notify me a day before, I can map out my schedule and get back to you as soon as possible! At my own home, I have a fenced yard and plenty of green space for my dog to play. Unfortunately, other dogs are not allowed in my house, however, I am more than happy to stay in the clients house to pet sit and can accommodate for any of the animals needs.

About: Ive grown up caring for animals my entire life: dogs, cats, and chickens! What makes me a great sitter is that I genuinely love animals and my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I am also an active person so your dog will always come home well-exercised after a walk with me! I work part time and can be pretty accommodating with your schedule. Mornings, afternoons or evenings - I am sure we can make something work :) In my home, my cats are my family and are treated as such. I make it a priority to play with them everyday and make sure that they have toys available to help stimulate them. In your home, I will prioritize yours and your pets boundaries by following all given instructions carefully and I will always be a transparent and timely communicator.

About: I welcome all dogs into my home,. Small, large, energetic and subdued. Growing up with all different varieties of dogs has given me a confidence when dealing with all sorts of behaviors. I can relate to them, and be sure I'm giving them the care they need, where it be a run in the woods, our a casual walk around the neighborhood. I also volunteer at the SPCA as a dog companion, which has given me the opportunity to learn from my peers in all sorts of animal behavior. You can count on me to give your dog the attention they deserve. I also have an 8 year old Siberian Husky, who loves other dogs if they would like a playmate. If your dog is more into relaxing alone, that's also no problem. I currently work from home, so you can rest assured your pet will have companionship, 24/7. I like to fit in at least three walks a day, depending on your dog's needs. I have a fenced yard, where your dog can move freely and get familiar with their new surroundings. I also make a point to always dedicate a safe, private space in my home for my dog guests, where they can relax, and feel safe.

“Carly was exceptional for the limited time I required a dog walker while I recovered from surgery. Carly was very flexible with timings, overall care for Stanley and he would wait at the door after she left to go back out with her. Would highly recommend Carly for dog walking to anyone needing the rover service.”
