“Coranne arrived early to get familiar with Aspen. She bonded with Aspen and Aspen's doggie friend immediately. She gave them lots of tender loving care as well as massage. The dogs just love that. Aspen certainly enjoyed the long walk with Coranne. I can see that Aspen was a little sad when Coranne left. I will definitely ask Coranne to come back to look after Aspen and I have no problem recommending her to others.”

“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!”

“Nicole took wonderful care of Maple and Canela over the long weekend. They were so well looked after, and it was clear they had company and attention the entire time, which gave us great peace of mind. She kept us updated, was easy to communicate with, and genuinely cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. We came home to two relaxed and happy dogs, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter, and we would absolutely trust her with Maple and Canela again. Thank you, Nicole!”

“Debbie was fantastic watching our two high energy cattle dog mixes for three weeks while we were away. The dogs absolutely loved her and she provided us great updates with photos every day. She left the house clean and was very responsive to all of our messages. We would recommend her and would be happy to have her care for our dogs again in the future!”

“Was very pleased with Leila's dog sitting service! She was very sweet & knew all the right questions to ask about my dogs' care. She wasn't even phased by hearing my dog sleeps on the pillow next to me! She also sent me pics of Marti which I really liked:) She kept my place very clean, which was nice to come home to after a weekend away. I will definitely recommend her to my friends!!”

“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!”

“Willow had such a wonderful time! She was taken for walks every day and had lots of attention :) I received lovely photos of Willow and she always looked so happy and like she was on holiday too! Thank you Harjeet for looking after our fur baby so well !”

“Iman was wonderful, he really took care of Indio and they seemed to have a nice bond. Our place was kept clean and tidy and he was very communicative throughout the process. Thanks Iman”

“Jacquelines fantastic! My dogs loved her instantly. She went above and beyond and we felt really at ease all knowing night knowing they were in such good hands. Would ? recommend.”

“Wow! Theo went above and beyond house sitting for my 2 cats. I booked very last minute and he impressed me, and calmed my nerves. I feel so lucky to have found Theo and have no reason to book anyone else on rover in the future. I highly recommend Theo!!”

“Will was great, he was very accommodating and diligent with his care of Rosie 🐾. He was respectful of our home and communicative. Would thoroughly reccomend him to anyone looking for pet care. Thank you Will!”

“Elise is fantastic with dogs, particularly with puppies. She’s an experienced dog owner and flexible as to timings and training requirements. I love leaving Rosie with Elise as I know she will progress her training, whilst also giving her the care and attention she needs as a young dog. Would highly recommend.”

About: I've had 4 dogs in my life from the age of 15 and they all lived full and happy lives. Currently I look after 3 beautiful and healthy cats which had been a dream of my since childhood. As a self employed narrative designer and video editor I get to have a lot of sporadic free time which matches perfectly with pet sitting. I'm very respectful of other people's homes since it's a privileged to be invited into someone else's space. I also take into consideration that, like people, every animal has its own personality and needs which I'm here to tend to.
“We were very pleased with the service Rebecca provided. She was punctual and communicative. We returned to a spotless house and a calm and content Jack Russell. I would happily recommend Rebecca as a house and pet sitter.”

About: Welcome! We are a warm, dedicated Mexican Canadian pet sitting duo with a deep love for dogs and cats. We have both been passionate pet owners our entire lives. Growing up, my wife always had dogs and cats by her side. On my end, I have loved and cared for a yellow lab, a blue nose pitbull, and two outdoor cats. Our hands on experience goes far beyond typical pet sitting. We spent a full month volunteering at an animal shelter in Peru caring for forty two dogs at once. This fast paced environment taught us how to handle diverse temperaments, manage pack dynamics, and maintain safety in busy settings. Long before joining Rover, we were also the trusted go to pet sitters for our friends and family. We have extensive experience with multi dog households, including house sitting for active packs of three dogs at once. Additionally, I have spent 5 years as a dedicated volunteer working specifically with senior dogs. This background means we are highly skilled in managing different pack personalities, sticking to precise routines, and providing the gentle, specialized care that elderly sweethearts deserve. Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, safe, and experienced home! Our WFH Availability: We both work from home full time! This means your dog will enjoy constant supervision, companionship, and love throughout the entire day. We are rarely away, making our schedule highly flexible to accommodate frequent potty breaks, midday play, or senior pups who need extra attention. Here is how our day looks: - Morning: A brisk neighborhood walk before we start work, followed by breakfast and morning cuddles. - Workday: We work right alongside your pup. They can nap in our home office or enjoy frequent potty and stretch breaks in between our meetings. - Afternoon: A mid day playtime session or walk to break up the day and burn some energy. - Evening: Dinner time, long walks, and relaxing on the couch together as a family. Because there are two of us working from home, we have total flexibility to accommodate strict feeding schedules, medication times, or senior dogs who need to go outside more often. In Our Home: We live in a spacious three level townhouse with multiple rooms. This layout gives us plenty of space to set up a crate or a pet fence if your dog needs a secure boundary. Because we have lots of stairs, we closely monitor all pet movement between floors. Thanks to our senior dog experience, we are highly alert to mobility needs and will happily carry or assist dogs who struggle with stairs. Our balcony is strictly supervised at all times. While we do not have a private backyard, our close proximity to the local creek offers the perfect outdoor escape! In Your Home: We treat your home with total respect. Having house sat for packs of three dogs before, we are experts at following your exact routines, keeping doors locked, and ensuring your pets stay safe in their own space. Our Safety Standards: - Constant Supervision: Since we both work from home, pets are rarely left alone. - Double the Eyes: Two sitters mean your dog is always accounted for. - Stair Safety: We ensure active pups use stairs safely and sweet seniors get the extra help they need.
About: I believe dogs are part of our family , they need enough respect and attention , i grew up with dogs in my back home but now in canada I dont have one yet Routine is the best for me but occasionally is fine as well , weekends i am free and can spend more time for pets . I prefer to play with dogs instead of leaving them by themselves or watching cartoons , I even like to play music for them .
About: Neighbours and family friends have leaned on me for dog and cat care over the years. Including walks, overnight care and drop-ins. In particular a beautiful mature Border Collie called Alfie who stole my heart. More recently, we cared for a gorgeous cross adopted from India in our home for 13 days. She is great at being lazy but also put us through our paces on the mountains too - the perfect combo for an active couple who also enjoy their chill time. I currently work full-time; from home in Kitsilano twice per week, and in Downtown three times per week. Can do drop-ins or walks nearby during my lunch hour, take care of your pet overnight in my apartment which I share with my partner, or evening care/walks between 5pm-10pm most nights. Please enquire for full availability, I can be very flexible! I have a two bed apartment with a balcony. No other pets, no smokers, two young(ish!) professionals who would like a dog of our own one day!
About: I have grown up surrounded by furry companions (dogs,cats,farm animals) and love every minute of it. Life without a dog or animal for me is an unknown. I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, active dogs and all kinds of dog breeds from small to large and find the joy in each of them. Whether your dog has a quirk or a perk, it’s not too much for me. I will love and care for them as my own and my home has no boundaries for them because I want them to feel as comfortable as they would at their own home. Whether they need training reinforced, walks, runs, forest immersions, swims or just downtime, we’ll take good care of them. My miniature longhaired daschund is my home companion. He is gentle, playful and sweet with any and all other dogs. He knows when to avoid senior dogs and to engage with puppies. I appreciate and love this intuitive nature most about him. With us your dog will be in loving hands. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule which makes play time, company and walks easy. I also have a little fenced yard that is accessible to them during the day for some needed supervised outdoor play time. A nature trail is right in front of my home and forest walks are an easy 5min drive to access. I am available and hands on during the day. Your pup will be in good care and company daily. I have a ground level home with fenced yard to play in and one miniature longhaired daschund to keep your baby company whether to play or just to relax with. My home will be home to your pet and I will treat them as my own. For house sittings, Fynn (my dog) and I will be respectful and take utmost care to look after your belongings and pup. You can relax and rest assured that your home and pup are in capable, loving and caring hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,833 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:
- 88% 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.
