“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 !”
“Debbie looked after our Toro a couple of times now, she's always punctual and reliable, and she's great at sending daily updates and pics. Definitely would use her service again!”
“Mariia and Vinny loved Chewie like he was their own. He was very relaxed and happy when we got back. They were professional and communicative and I would recommend them to care for anyone’s pet.”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Melissa. She was fast to respond, easy to communicate with, and came over to our house beforehand for a meet and greet, which I really appreciated. From the beginning, I felt that she was reliable and trustworthy. I felt completely comfortable leaving my home and the dogs in her care, knowing she would show up exactly as agreed. Melissa took wonderful care of Pablo and Braza. She took them on adventures to the beach, followed all of my wishes and instructions carefully, and truly went above and beyond. What stood out most was how calm, capable, and unfazed she was with my dogs’ special needs and sometimes slightly out-of-line behavior – she didn’t flinch or seem overwhelmed at all. Overall, I felt I could fully trust Melissa and our agreement from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Isabella was fantastic. She was great at communication with us before her arrival and during her stay with our puppy. She sent us pictures and videos of Bowen while we were away. I felt so wonderful having such a caring person taking care of our dog and our home while we were away. She left detailed notes of what he ate and did each day and the times for all of it .. the care was amazing ❤️thank you Isabella”
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: Previous owner of a reactive rescue pitbull for 10 years, I am very understanding and compassionate with dogs that can be anxious and require patience and space. In addition myself and Riley have cared, boarded, and walked a variety of family and friends companions throughout the years. You can expect your pet to be spoiled with love and attention! Our home is safe & secure. With a varied work schedule we have the ability to be quite accommodating for the needs of others. Myself and Riley are highly active, and stay very local to Squamish. The home consists fully fenced yard, the river is minutes away, with many trails at my access. The home has plenty of natural light, with 2600 square feet of cozy feels, offering relaxing vibes for day care and boarding needs. We provide actual space for your pet to feel safe and comfortable unlike many Rover sitters who only have a condo and small townhome strata rules.
About: I’ve cared for a wide range of animals over the years, including dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. I’m a reliable, attentive and caring pet sitter, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. Over the past year, I’ve travelled around Europe doing pet and house sitting, sometimes staying in someone’s home and caring for their animals for up to a month at a time. One of my most memorable sits was looking after six Labrador puppies for an entire month — an amazing opportunity I’ve also used TrustedHousesitters myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your home and, most importantly, your pets. I’m respectful of people’s homes, communicative, responsible and happy to follow each pet’s usual routine, whether that means long walks and adventures or plenty of cuddles and quiet time. I am an occupational therapist and university tutor. Currently I am working from home on a casual basis and have lots of time for your fur baby. I am available weekdays and weekends and flexible with my schedule. I am an active person and happy to take your pet out and about on walks or socialisation if needed I have a fenced backyard which is safe and secure. They are also able to come inside the house as well and welcome on the furniture
“Linley took great care of Dodam, including giving his meds in a timely manner, as well as our home. She sent regular updates and made us feel at ease being gone two weeks. We'd strongly recommend her and would love to book her for our next trips 😄”
“Rebecca was great! She is easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our cat Nile who can be a bit demanding with new sitters; he likes to push his meal times up to suit his food desires and not your sleep schedule. She kept the house very clean and tended to some additional light gardening needs. Would definitely request her again.”
“Our family had a wonderful experience with June. Our dog, Koa, can be slightly reactive, and June was so patient and confident with her — she was clearly very happy and enjoyed plenty of walks and adventures while we were away. Our cat also seemed very content and comfortable spending time with her. A few. happy kitty! Coming home to a clean and well-cared-for home was such a nice bonus after our trip. June was reliable, caring, and attentive, and we felt very at ease knowing our pets and home were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again when needed.”
“Megan was wonderful! She obviously loves dogs snd takes great care of them and we were very happy to have her look after our two husky mixes. Everything was positive - very timely responses, she came over for a meet and greet before the booking, kept us up to date with pictures and messages while we were away and took the dogs for runs. The house was spotless when we got home, which was so nice after a long flight home.”
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.
About: I have been a trusted dog sitter and walker for the past 5 years! Friends, family, and co-workers have reached out to me to take care of their furry family members. I have been dog sitting a beautiful bernadoodle for the past 4 years consistently in my home and have loved every minute! I love every and all dogs and it brings me so much joy to be able to take care of, snuggle, and love your pet! I am currently a student completing my masters degree. For work, I am a group fitness instructor that strives for movement and activity in my daily life! I am blessed to live beside the beautiful trails in north Vancouver and embrace nature by hiking and running! I live in a basement suite that doesn’t have much of a yard, however, i have access to tons of trails and parks just a 2 minute walk away from my house to ensure that your furry friend gets tons of time outside! I am comfortable crating your dog if that’s the method you prefer for sleeping.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,802 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
- 89% 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.
