“Nadia was amazing with our dog, Pearl. She gave us lots of updates and made sure all of Pearls needs were met. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family and will be using her again in the future :)”
About: My experience includes feeding, grooming, and providing necessary medications. Additionally, I am proficient in recognizing and responding to animal health concerns. I have a proven ability to create a safe and stimulating environment for pets. Moreover, I am passionate about ensuring their comfort and well-being. Fitting pet care into my daily routine is normal and essential. Each morning starts with a walk for my dog, followed by fresh food and water for both my dog and my cat. Throughout the day, I make sure to provide treats and playtime! Evenings involve another walk or backyard fun, followed by a final feeding and a quiet cuddle session before bed, making sure my cat is inside warm in my home and my dog feels loved and attended to. Caring for a client's pet in their home requires thorough preparation, clear communication, and a genuine love for animals. Caring for pets in our homes involves meeting their basic needs and providing a loving environment. For example, with my dog, Luna, a typical day includes a morning walk for exercise and a potty break, high-quality kibble, caring for her physical appearance by bathing her, trimming her nails, and brushing her fur. I also provide safe surroundings and interactions.
“I am always so stressed leaving my boy with strangers but the moment we first met Miranda I was totally at ease. Sonny greeted her with lots of love and excitement so I knew she was a good fit. He got all the love and attention that he needed to make our absence a little less noticeable. I would HIGHLY recommend her❤️”
“Amanda is wonderful with our puppy Walter. She has been walking him regularly at lunch while we are at work for about a year and we are very happy! She is very flexible and doesn’t mind adjusting when we need to. She has also dog sat in our home which gave us a lot of peace of mind while being gone because she already knows our dog. Thanks Amanda!!”
About: Since a young age, dogs have always had a constant presence in my life. Not only have I cared for my own pets, but friends and family have also entrusted me to walk and sit for their beloved companions. Building on this passion, I have dedicated the past several years to working at vet clinics and dog walking/sitting on the side. So, in addition to my personal connection with dogs, I also bring professional expertise to the table. I work Monday-Friday from 7:30-3:30 but I am free most weekends for pet sitting. I would also be happy to do early morning or afternoon dog walks through the week. I take great care of pets in my home or client’s homes by thoroughly communicating with the client prior on their pet’s specific needs. I make sure to stick to the pets feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule so that they are happy and comfortable.
About: I own a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who is beautiful and gentle. Taking care of my own dog has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training basics, and providing lots of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time caring for animals. I make sure pets get regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention so they feel comfortable and happy while in my care. always focus on creating a safe and calm environment for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, provide lots of attention, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. I am flexible and can adjust to all different routines!

Angela helped us with a last minute request when we were all of a sudden needing a dog/house sitter. She was very responsive, quickly arranged to meet the dogs and did a great job taking care of them and our home while we were away. Thanks so much for being flexible and providing great care!
I can’t say enough good things about Miranda — she’s an absolute darling. She gave me total peace of mind, took amazing care of my home and pets, kept me updated the whole time, and left everything perfect. Highly recommend her to anyone. Can’t wait to have her back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort St. John on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort St. John maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort St. John walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Fort St. John 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
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.
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.
