“Iris is always the best! Our cats just love having Auntie Iris come and stay with them. Cuddles on the couch, movie nights, and lots of photos! Highly recommend!”
“Farren did an outstanding job. We have a high anxiety cat that we have never left along before. She sent photos with updates and kept my mind at ease while we were away. She is kind, patient, professional and went above and beyond for our 2 cats. When we returned home, our condo was neat and tidy. The cats were very calm and relaxed. Would highly recommened Farren to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter. We will most definitely be using her services again !! Thanks so much Farren !!!!!🥰😊😻”
“Iris is amazing, she is so patient, caring and responsible. She took care of our 3 month puppy as if he was her own. We will definitely invite her again. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Toleen is lovely. She is positive, she arrived on time and followed all the instructions. She fed Leo, took him on walks and washed his bowl. When i came back, Leo was happy and well rested- which is important for him as he is a senior. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Christine and her daughter Autumn were wonderful caretakers of our dog Meekah. Christine kept in regular contact while we were on a cruise so we were able to fully enjoy ourselves and not worry about Meekah. Christine took exceptional care of our home. We 100% recommend Christine to any pet owner looking for a reliable compassionate caretaker of their pet. Christine treats your pet like her own and your pet gets the added value in her daughter Autumn who my dog thoroughly misses.”
About: In addition to loving and training my own dog, I have over a year of experience volunteering to train service dogs. Through the timespan of a couple years my little apartment has seen over 10 dogs in training. I would love to help sit your furbaby too! Can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently working full time and slowly changing my work schedule. I’m available to house sit and check in on your pets in the weekday evenings and weekends while you are away! I live in an apartment with 1 dog. I can create a fenced area or crate your dog if desired. I’m happy to come to your home and follow your instructions on how to care for your pet!
“Debbie is a pro at the pet care game. She asked all the right questions and looked after our three cats over two days. The house was as clean as we left it. She even washed and changed our bedding so it was ready for us when we arrived home - a very thoughtful gesture. She sent us lots of photos and updated us each evening.”
About: Been in the veterinary industry since 2015. Was in wildlife refuge before that. Graduated from the Thompson Rivers University's Animal Health Technology program where we learned extensively of animal care and behaviour. I have a sassy seven year old domestic shorthair which I love dearly. I will not be available between 9am - 8pm due to being a veterinary technician at various vet hospitals. However I can manage my time well before and after those times for dog walking and possibly sitting as well. I am well versed in the calm and playful care of cats and dogs from my 10 + experience in the veterinary industry. This program allows us to interact with various canines and felines in a daily basis.
“Chris was so professional and amazing with our cat. He followed all our instructions, communicated frequently and shared some great photos of her having a great time! He went above and beyond and vacuumed the litter area for us as well.”
About: In my youth, I was a dog breeder and really enjoyed training them, providing them with a happy family. I am also an equine certified wellness facilitator, trained in dressage, and I comprehend animal safety very well. I truly love animals deeply! I’d love dog sitting for the pure joy of playful walks, endless cuddles, and the unconditional love only a happy animal can provide. Currently, I am a freelance designer with a lot of flexibility. I live in close proximity to the beach for walks, have an SUV, and enjoy outdoor hikes. I have experience with training young puppies and catering to more mature animals. Currently, my residence is not animal-friendly, so this is an opportunity to connect with animals.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with Labrador retrievers, cats and other small animals. Growing up I worked in a pet hospital, which gave me experience being around animals with different personalities, temperaments and care needs. I have also worked at the horse stables caring for horses and have volunteered at the BCSPCA. I'm a life-long animal lover and currently have a Great Dane x Mastiff mix of my own. My dog can be reactive so I have experience navigating walks calmly, recognizing triggers, reading body language, creating distance when needed and being aware of our surroundings. I understand every dog has their own personality and comfort level. I'm patient with dogs who are nervous, shy, excitable or need a little extra space, and I'm happy to follow the routines, commands and walking techniques that work best for your dog. I genuinely enjoy walking and spending time with dogs and my goal is to make their time with me relaxed, safe and fun! Whether your dog wants a big adventure, a leisurely sniffari or simply some company and snuggles, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I'll care for your pet with the same patience and affection I give my own big guy. I work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I wanted to join Rover as a way to spend more time with animals, get outside and be more active while doing something I genuinely enjoy! Due to my own dog being dog selective, I am not currently offering pet care in my home. I’m happy to provide walks, visits and house sitting in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, walking guidelines and house rules as closely as possible. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort and individual needs. I will also be respectful of your home and treat both your pet and your space with care.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. From fostering dogs in need, raising and training my own puppies to rescuing and adopting companions while providing patience, calming reassurance and dependable care in a peaceful and loving home. I am currently working part time, and pet care is already part of my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they receive the care, exercise and companionship they deserve. I strongly believe that all animals should be cared for both physically and emotionally at home. What I do to meet their needs in my home: * Providing fresh water at all times and making sure they are fed healthy meals that coincide with weight, age, and food intolerances. * Encourage 15 minute training sessions (involves delicious treats) 1-2x a day for mental stimulation and consistency. * Puppy proofed. I have created a safe space where dogs are free to roam. No access to toxic plants, sniffing out cleaning products, chewing on electrical cords, and/or small objects they could swallow. * Big, comfy beds and/or couches for a place to rest, where they can feel secure. * Maintaining a routine for meals, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and bedtime. Dogs thrive on routine! * Toys, toys toys! Puzzle feeders, sniffing games, and interactive play. * Groom regularly by brushing their coat, trimming nails, cleaning ears when needed, and brushing their teeth. * Using positive reinforcement when redirecting and correcting. I reward good behaviour with yummy treats, praise, belly rubs and/or play time instead of punishing mistakes. * Socialize appropriately with people, other dogs, and new environments to build confidence and good manners. * Monitor their health for changes in appetite, energy, drinking, bathroom habits, and/or behaviour. * Give them attention and affection. Dogs are social animals and need companionship, interaction, and love to thrive. * Respect their individual needs. Every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and comfort zone. I have a fenced yard and a dog park across from my house. Your dog will always have a furry friend to play with or if they prefer alone time, that’s fine too :) I also make my own dog and bake homemade dogs treats as well. So, if your pup is on a strict diet or is on medication- I’m no stranger to feeding them healthy and nutritious meals and/or administering their medications.
“We appreciated that Zara took the time to meet Gus and get to know his routines and personality at home before staying with him! You could tell right away that Zara was patient and kind. Gus and Zara became fast friends! Zara took great care of Gus and our home while we were away. We loved receiving pics of Gus playing and enjoying his time with Zara during our trip.”
“Cara did a fantastic job taking care of our two babies (cats). Both animals required brief visits to the vet and Cara managed these adventures smoothly. She also assisted us with other issues while we were away. Our home looked much better on return than it did on departure. We were concerned our cats would pack their little bags and move to Cara's home on our return. Cara is a wonderful find and we have absolute confidence in her.”
“Elizabeth was great with our cat and two dogs! She was punctual, polite, and took excellent care of both our home and pets during our five-day trip. We’ll definitely be booking her again for our next getaway and highly recommend her services!”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep understanding of the care, responsibility, and patience required to look after a wide variety of animals. Throughout my childhood, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, giving me hands-on experience with their unique personalities, needs, and behaviours. Today, I continue that lifelong commitment as the owner of a five-year-old medium-sized dog. My lifelong experience has given me a genuine appreciation for animal welfare, strong observational skills, and the ability to build trust with pets of different temperaments. This personal connection allows me to provide compassionate, attentive care while understanding that every animal deserves to be treated with patience, respect, and kindness. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I'm currently taking some time off work and have a very open schedule. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether you're looking for short-term care, long-term care, or flexible scheduling, I'm happy to provide reliable, attentive care that works around your pet's routine. I provide care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their regular routine. I carefully follow all instructions you leave regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, patience, and companionship while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands.
“I got lucky to find him on such short notice. Great guy. Interested, punctual, reliable. He sent pictures of his visits and told us all about his time with our cat when we returned. I would recommend him for sure ??”
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and neighbors with dog sitting and walking, and it’s something I truly love doing. I’m excited to turn that passion into a side hustle where I can care for pets while helping owners feel at ease. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs — whether that means going for walks, playtime, keeping routines consistent, or simply giving them company and care while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I’d also be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your pet can feel completely comfortable before booking. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work full-time as a IT engineer, and most of my work is remote, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable with both pet sitting at your home and regular drop-ins or walks, while still maintaining a reliable routine for your dog. I also have my own vehicle, so getting around for walks, visits, or overnight stays is easy for me across the Metro Vancouver area, preferably Surrey and new west I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I kindly ask for around 3 days’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule properly and give your pet the attention they deserve. I am someone who values responsibility and consistency, and I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ladner 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ladner 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 Ladner 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, a background 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
