About: For as long as I can remember, animals of all kinds have been drawn to me, and me to them. Though I grew up in a household of cats, I had the pleasure of being "raised" part-time by a German Shepard named Blackjack who rescued my Grammy. And what can I say? I adore doggos! I'm the type of person that will adjust my walking route to go to work so that I have more opportunity to see dogs (and their humans too, I suppose) on my commute. I've had the pleasure of tending to pups of all shapes and sizes, from my fur niece Willow the Wiener Dog, to my very first overnight sit with Juno the Husky. I love them all! I'm comfortable with older dogs and any additional medical support they may need, as well pups in training who might need a bit more guidance with getting to know the lay of the land. I truly love each animal I care for as if they are a best friend. I would love the opportunity to hang with your pup and make a new bestie! I'm currently running my own wellness business, primarily online at the moment, so I have plenty of space and time to care for your furry friend. I have been house and pet sitting across Canada and New Zealand since 2018 and treating any host homes as I would my own. If I can help out with any improvements while I stay, it is always my pleasure. Things like sharpening dull kitchen knives, weeding the flower bed you've been meaning to get to for weeks, deep cleaning the "pet tub", and of course nurturing your fur babies.
About: Helping your pets living their best life! I’m experienced with big size dogs, elder animals, giving medication if needed. I have my pet first aid course. But most of all, I’m a pet sitter that cares a lot about your pet’s well being and will adapt to all level of energy! I work evening shifts at Island Lake Lodge so my calendar is very flexible for walking your dog at mid day during the work days. For pet sitting, this season I’ll be working 8h/day except Wednesdays & Thursdays so I won’t be able to be full time with your pet at home. I walk dogs & do pet sitting within Fernie only. Always one dog at a time (or multiple dogs if they are from the same household). I also take care of cats & other pets and will give them all the love they deserve!
About: Hey there! I'm Ashling - originally from the UK but have been living in BC since Feb 2023. I have looked after many wonderful animals - from goats, chickens and turtles, big dogs, small dogs, old cats and kittens! I love animals and believe they are a truly important member of the family. Very happy and comfortable with sitting, walking, and/or running your animals 😊 Look forward to meeting you! I work from home and my schedule is super flexible, so have lots of time during the day to get out and about or sit with your pets. I love running so if you've specific request for this then do let me know and I'd be happy to run your dog too. No two animals are the same and so I like to know a little about your pets personality to make sure they are comfortable and happy.
“Leanne is highly trustworthy and professional. My cat had a great time with her for two weeks. There was a minor emergency with my cat while I was abroad, and I felt completely helpless, but Leanne handled the situation very well. I can't thank her enough for that. I was worried about leaving my kitty alone for so long, but Leanne gave me a total peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had 10+ years of golden retriever and shih-tzu owning. My sister has 3 Bernese mountain dogs and two cats so I’m comfortable with all sizes and different breeds. Out of work until it starts full time in November! Have plenty of friends with dogs if your guys love pet socialization, but currently just join friends on dog walks. I do not do home boarding!! I live with my fiancé and his brothers, who are allergic. My yard is not fenced. I’m willing to make your dog feel welcome and loved wherever they are.

David was fantastic with our two cats. He brought treats and scheduled a meet and greet to get to know them and they were immediately comfortable with him. He sent lots of pics/videos of each visit and even cleaned up a broken plant from one of the menances whild we were away. Great service!

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
