“Andrea was absolutely lovely with our anxious new rescue, we will definitely be booking again, she was so attentive and kind and patient, and sent lots of updates, it was sincerely appreciated. Very knowledgeable and skilled with dogs, and the most lovely person too.”
“We would highly recommend Lori. She looked after our senior dog over the long weekend. Lori provided daily updates and photos which was very reassuring. Not only did she take good care of our fur baby she took great care of our home. Thanks so much Lori.”
“Robin was a great cat sitter and took good care of our boys. She was in touch all throughout our trip, making us enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of. We came back home to a clean house and happy cats. We would use her again.”
“Colin was amazing with my dogs! They got daily walks, we received daily detailed updates, and I could tell they were torn about leaving him. They definitely bonded with him as we saw from the pics of them cuddled up. Would definitely book with Colin again! Thank you so much!”
“Ocean watched my baby Frankie at my apartment for the day while I was away at work. I definitely recommend her! She had come for a meet & greet 2 days prior and he just loved her. She interacted with him very well even though he is a crazy, energetic, jumpy and nippy 3month old puppy. I came home to a very happy baby! Additionally, she was very respectful of my home. Thanks again, Ocean!”
About: Hello, I am an experienced House & Pet Services provider with Cat and Dog First Aid Certification thru the Canadian Red Cross. I tend to do most of my work on the Edmonton Southside but i am open to other areas for longer term bookings. My services extend from home care/pet sitting to Dog Walking and Drop Ins. I work part-time via a dispatch system, I am in full control of my schedule and many of the shifts I accept I am only working 4 hours at a time so this leaves me lots of time to schedule in my Pet commitments I am flexible and easy to talk to. As a pet parent I just need open communication and clear instructions on how you would like your pet cared for. Understanding that everyones needs and expectations are different. If you would like to give step by step strict instructions I am happy to follow those and report back AND/OR take the lead, get the request done and also report back, use Rover cards or set up video calls if that works for you.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

Sydney gave us complete confidence and peace of mind while we were away.”

About: I’ve owned dogs ranging from little Shih Tzus to a big Mastador, so I appreciate that every dog has their own personality, pace, and needs! My background in hospitality has taught me to be attentive, dependable, and thoughtful about the little details. I bring those qualities to pet care by following your routines, taking time to help your pet feel comfortable, and keeping you updated while you’re away. I run my own business, which gives me flexibility to arrange walks and drop-in visits at different times throughout the day. I’ll confirm my availability with you before booking so your pet’s care fits reliably into my schedule and their usual routine. I care for pets in their own home, where they can enjoy familiar surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and household routines, and take time to learn your pet’s temperament and needs. On walks, I’ll keep your dog leashed and check that their collar or harness is secure. I’ll send updates, handle keys carefully, and follow your instructions for locking up and setting alarms when I leave.
“Dimitra was FABULOUS! We have never had someone outside of family watch our dog so of course we were super nervous. She cared for our dog and home as if it was her own and we came home to a super happy guy. We got picture update, saw them go on multiple walks and got pictures of them laying on the couch together. I couldn’t recommend her enough - we will 100% be contacting her next time we leave town.”
About: I have pet sit for a wide variety of friends and family with all different kind of animals. Dogs most frequently to cats and even birds. I work full time Monday to Thursday 7am to 3pm. My work is in office 15 minute drive from my home. I can come home on my lunch break to allow for extra potty breaks if needed. I live in town houses, so if your dog cries from separation anxiety please let me know ahead of time. I do my best to tailor my routine to your pets needs. I know how Important it is to keep a pets routine the same.
“Stepped in and helped us with an impossible situation. Our Sitter Bailed on us when we were out of Province at 11:30PM. We started communicating with Anick the next morning and got a plan in place. I am thankful for her expediency!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets from cats to dogs to lizards. I have loved animals all my life and I plan to give all that love to your pet! I’m a high-level athlete a coach and work a retail service job and volunteer at a vet clinic because in my future, I hope to become a vet tech because I do love animals more than anything else in the world! I always ensure that my cats at home are well fed, have clean litter boxes and are given the love that they deserve. They are not allowed outside. They are indoor only.
“Sara is fantastic. Our dog has some anxiety around strangers and Sara worked with us slowly to get our pup more comfortable over walks and an overnight visit before our weeklong holiday. She was great with our dog and did everything to make her comfortable. When we were on our holiday, our flight got delayed and we needed to get Sara to stay an extra day. She responded right away and made sure that everything was updated in the app and our pets were properly taken care of. We will be using Sara as much as we can in the future.”

Olivia was very professional. Easy to get along with. And most importantly did awesome with our mile long list of instructions we left. Also had to administer ear drops, and pills for our dog Haley. She took Haley for a walk. Not too mention went over and above, leaving our house VERY clean. Vacuumed, stripped the bed, kitchen was sparkling etc. HIGHLY recommend her services. We will definitely look her up before our next vacation!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maple Ridge 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 Maple Ridge 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 Maple Ridge 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 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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
- 94% 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.
