“We had a great experience with Mariia! From the day we made an inquiry she was extremely responsive and answered our questions thoroughly. She agreed to doing a meet and greet prior to looking after our dog and was very sweet and friendly. While we were away I felt very confident with Mariia looking after Luna and she sent us the cutest pictures! She was also open to us messaging her at anytime and always responded fast. The house was left very clean. I am always really picky about who we leave our girl with and I can say in confidence that we would 100% book Mariia again! Thank you Mariia!”

“Katrina was fabulous! Took excellent care of our very anxious dog while we were able to enjoy an evening out. She sent lots of photos and worked hard to make him feel comfortable. 10/10 for sure!”

About: Hi! I'm Tess, an active, animal-loving sitter who works from home during the week, available summer through early fall. I've cared for dogs my whole life (mostly large breeds), fostered both dogs and cats locally and abroad, and even helped housebreak puppies. I live in a townhouse, and my home office sits right behind the garage with direct access to a backyard, so between walks and runs, dogs hang out with me while I work, with constant access to the yard. Whether your pup needs a relaxed walk around the golf course, a run to burn off energy, or a big adventure up the Chief, I'll match their pace. If your dog likes to socialize, I'll make sure to bring them along on walks or runs with friends and their friendly pets. During down time, I'm all about cuddles, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe and happy. I work from home part-time in the summer and early fall, so I can easily fit in morning, midday, and evening walks or visits. My schedule is flexible, which means I can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s early hikes or lunchtime potty breaks. Pets are always supervised, doors and gates are secure, and outdoor time is safe and leashed. I make sure they have a cozy space to rest, fresh water, and plenty of attention.
About: I have always been a go to for friends, family and colleagues for their pet care needs. I am familiar with in house care, multi day care and of course the casual dog walk. I have some experience with more reactive dogs as well as old and young dogs. Looking after dogs is something a really enjoy, for both the ease for the owner as well as enjoying and hanging out with the happy little friends. Fitting dog care into my week mixes up my routine and generally gets me outside more than not. I have a two bedroom ground level apartment with great access to street walking, field walking and forest walking. I am also familiar with the Squamish area, as well as having my own transport, making it easy for me to stay where needed for the dog care.
About: I have taken care of pets, my own and others’, since my teen years. There’s a special place in my heart for senior animals, big dogs, and feisty cats. I completed safety training for handling stressed animals during a brief stint volunteering with the BCSPCA. I can care for cats and dogs with specialty diets and senior needs, as well as administer medications and special care as necessary. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I maintain a consistent quiet lifestyle that can incorporate pets’ own routines to put them at ease and accommodate clients' needs. My services vary by travel distance: I can drop-in to visit pet(s) during the day for clients in Vancouver, northern Richmond, and western Burnaby. I can travel to provide pet-sitting/house-sitting services overnight or for several consecutive days throughout Metro Vancouver's municipalities. I follow any instructions given to care for clients' pets in their own home. I’m very clean, tidy, and respectful of others’ spaces. I can water plants, clean up pet messes, and care for pets in their own spaces.
“I had a great experience with Robyn. She stayed in my apartment for 1.5 weeks to care for Stanley and was punctual, dependable, and attentive throughout. I really appreciated the updates while I was away, they gave me peace of mind. She also left my apartment clean and tidy. I’d definitely recommend her!”

“Rileigh was amazing with our two dachshunds during a last-minute 5-night stay. We’d never left them with anyone outside of family before, but her great communication and regular photo/video updates gave us so much peace of mind. Her background in dog training was a huge bonus — she even helped with some behaviors we’d been struggling with. Highly recommend Rileigh to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

About: My previous room-mate was a veterinary technician, and I frequently watched and walked her animals while she was away. I’ve been around and loved animals my whole life and am very comfortable around them. I often watch and walk friends dogs! My life doesn’t allow me to have a dog of my own currently, and it brings me great joy to help out in this way! I am looking for longer stays (2-3 days or more). I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule if notice is given. I will be commuting from out of town. :) I love spending time with animals, including getting them out of the house on adventures, to new parks for them to experiance new and interesting environments, or taking them to parks they are comfortable with and love. I also love spending time with them in the home, while giving them lots of time and attention!
“Chelsea was amazing! Rolo had the best day with her. She went above with taking in a few packages for me and making sure Rolo kept cool on the hot day. The pictures and updates through out the day gave me extra piece of mind. I would definitely use her again.”

About: Grew up on a farm in the UK surrounded by pets! Missing them all very much. Expect an active, patient and caring pet carer here. I’m working for BC wildfire this summer, but will have long weekends where my partner and I I would love to look after your pet. Here to provide whatever care you need, my partner and I have a great understanding of petcare needs and can remain very adaptable to individual circumstances!

About: I have had dogs on and off my entire life. I adopted an older dog in my twenties who had severe arthritis and cared for him until his final days. This gave me hands-on experience with senior care and medication administration. I have house sat for my family and friend’s dogs throughout the years and given the dogs medication whenever it was needed. I have also been on many walks, runs and hikes with dogs and am able to handle high-energy dogs. My partner and I currently own a dog who is anxious and has some separation anxiety, and so I have a lot of patience and can handle more nervous/anxious dogs. Because of his anxiousness we are almost always with him and have a very homebody lifestyles with tons of positive reinforcement and desensitization techniques. I work as a flight attendant Monday to Wednesday's, and the rest of the time I am home. Whenever I am home I am fully available for pet sitting, dog walking and house drop ins. I mostly spend my days off going for long walks along the seawall, running, camping and enjoying time at home with my dog. I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of time off so it allows me to be fully present for any dog care. I currently live in an apartment in Fairview with easy access to the outdoors. There is a dog park about 10 minutes away from my place along with the seawall for walks. I live in a quiet neighbourhood that is very dog friendly. There is a vet at a 10 minute walk if ever it was needed.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds, including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, ferrets, and fish. I currently have a 4 year old husky, a 14 year old orange cat, a 2 year old black cat, and I’ve always grown up with pets! I worked at Bosley’s, giving me hands-on experience with pet care, and I do pet and home sitting frequently. I enjoy jogging, hiking, and walks with dogs, and I’m clean, responsible, and first-aid trained with over 10 years as a lifeguard. With me, your pets will be loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very open schedule and plenty of time to devote to pets. I can provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays if needed. Your pets will receive consistent attention, care, and companionship from me throughout their stay. I do not leave pets in my care alone for longer than four hours, ensuring they have regular supervision, comfort, and support while you are away. I care for pets in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment while respecting your home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality. I’m first-aid trained and very responsible, so you can trust your pets are in good hands, loved, and well looked after.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lions Bay. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lions Bay 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 Lions Bay 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 Lions Bay 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. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
