“Hujan was so happy at Lu’s. He loved to play in her yard and with her own dog. He had the biggest smile both when we picked him up and in the photos Lu sent us. We received multiple updates throughout the day, which we very much appreciated. We will absolutely be booking with Lu again!”

About: A lifelong dog owner who raised a well-trained, gentle Eurasier from puppyhood, I bring patience, experience, and genuine love to every dog in my care. Puppies and seniors are both welcome! I work from home, which means your dog is never left alone for long stretches. I'm available most weekdays and weekends, so whether you need a midweek hike, a weekend getaway covered, or overnight care while you travel, chances are I can fit you in. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also be there for last-minute plans and short-notice bookings whenever possible. Just reach out with your dates and I'll let you know right away. Your dog's safety and comfort come first. I live in a ground floor, two-bedroom apartment with a small yard, so there are no stairs to manage and your dog has easy access to outdoor space for quick potty breaks, sniffing, and fresh air any time they need it. That's especially helpful for puppies, seniors, and dogs who prefer a calmer setup. Staying active is part of my everyday routine. My Eurasier, Willow, and I are out for walks 3-4 times a day, and we usually head out on moderate hikes on the weekends. Visiting dogs join in on that routine, so they get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and structure, while still having plenty of downtime to rest and recharge. Because I work from home, I'm around to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day. I pay attention to their body language, appetite, energy, and comfort, and I'm happy to send photo and video updates so you can relax while you're away.

About: Use my link to get $20 off your first booking with rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/savanl64780 I’ve had dogs in my life from a young age and truly can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with both a small teacup dog and later a Malamute/Siberian Husky mix gave me experience with very different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I now have my own one year old Australian Shepherd, and raising him has been such a meaningful experience. I’ve been consistently training with him since he was three months old, focusing on structure, patience, and building a strong bond. That experience has strengthened my understanding of how important routine and clear communication are for dogs to feel secure. In addition, I foster puppies through a rescue organization. Each puppy is different in age, breed, and temperament, and I genuinely enjoy helping them settle in, build confidence, and feel safe in a new environment. It’s important to me that every dog in my care feels comfortable, understood, and truly looked after. Dogs are already a big part of my everyday routine! I have a pup of my own, so I’m used to planning my days around walks, playtime, and making sure their needs are met. I currently work Saturday to Wednesday, typically from 10:30 AM to 5 PM, with earlier starts on Mondays (9 AM) and Tuesdays (8 AM). I’m available most evenings after 5:15 PM and have plenty of flexibility on Thursdays and Fridays! Making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for is always my priority. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I do my best to make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your dog is happy and in good hands. Whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together, I always pay attention to their comfort, behaviour, and individual needs. I live on a fully fenced 10-acre property with plenty of space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I also have a friendly Australian Shepherd named Walter, who loves making new friends, provided your dog is comfortable around other dogs. When caring for pets in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and their usual routine. I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and it’s something I take seriously.

“From the moment my dog, Bestie, and I step through the door, we're greeted with such warmth and kindness from Deborah and her furry companions. The environment is perfect for walks, and I've witnessed firsthand the care and attention she gives to him while he's under her watch. After daycare, my dog returns home happy, tired, and thoroughly content, which is all we could ever ask for. Thank you, Deborah, for providing such a wonderful experience for my dog!”

“Wei is super sweet and absolutely amazing with pups. Being a super anxious dog mom, she sent me plenty of updates and pictures of my baby boys. She reassured me and took great care of them. I picked up super happy boys who had lots of pets and care. Also my pup suffers from separation anxiety and she understood that and made him feel relaxed at all times.”

About: *Willing to go off the app! Rover takes so much :(* Although I've never owned a dog myself, that's because I've always understood the level of time, commitment, and responsibility they deserve. I grew up around dogs, have lived with dogs for much of my life, and regularly care for my parents' two Toy Australian Shepherds whenever they're away. They're a mother and daughter duo with very different personalities and needs. The mother is a senior with hip issues who benefits from extra patience and mobility support, while her daughter has anxiety and does best with a calm, reassuring approach and a consistent routine. Being Toy Australian Shepherds, they're also incredibly intelligent and active, so I'm used to dogs that thrive on structure, engagement, and paying close attention to their individual needs. While I don't have experience with every unique medical or behavioural situation, I've been around a wide variety of dog personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to canine body language, respect each dog's boundaries, and believe that building trust is far more important than forcing interactions. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, spending the day with them, or caring for them overnight, I'll treat them with the same patience, attention, and respect I give the dogs in my own life. If your dog has a routine or needs I'm unfamiliar with, I'm always happy to do my research beforehand and carefully follow your instructions. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away! Right now I have a pretty open and flexible schedule, so I'm able to work around most pet care needs. Some mornings and around midday I'm busy babysitting my baby brother, but outside of that I have lots of availability for walks, drop ins, day visits, and overnight stays. I like planning ahead and making sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention they deserve instead of trying to rush from one booking to the next! I'll mostly be caring for pets in their own home because that's where they're usually the happiest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible by following your instructions closely, respecting your home, and making sure your pet feels safe while you're away. In some cases I may be able to care for pets in my home, but it will depend on the pet. I live in a small one bedroom basement suite with my two senior cats, who are very sweet but also very timid. Because of that, I'd only consider pets that are calm, cat friendly, and comfortable in a quieter environment. No matter where I'm caring for your pet, I'll pay close attention to their behaviour, body language, and routine. I know every animal is different, and I think noticing the little things can make a big difference in helping them feel comfortable.

About: We are a family of four who absolutely love dogs! 🐾 My home is a calm, cozy, and loving environment where your dog can feel comfortable and part of the family while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines, and I am especially patient with puppies, senior dogs, and pups who need a little extra attention or time to settle in. My goal is to provide your furry family member with a safe, happy, and home-like experience—and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with lots of love and attention. ❤️ We are a family with a 5-year-old pet of our own, so having a furry friend around is already a natural part of our daily life. I enjoy incorporating walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of cuddles into our routine. I am happy to follow each pet’s usual schedule and routines as closely as possible, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. I love having four-legged friends join our family and giving them lots of love, attention, and companionship while they’re with us! 🐾❤️ Since I work remotely, I’m able to provide lots of companionship and attention throughout the day. I keep things flexible and follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply having a quiet, comfortable place to nap and relax. I also make sure to give each pet the space and attention they need to feel settled in our home.

About: Animals have been at the center of my life for decades. Before pet care and dog walking, I spent 36 years as a horse trainer. I also ran a home-based dog and cat rescue in Mexico, helping animals heal, build trust, and find them loving homes. I also volunteered at the Surrey SPCA. I’m experienced with dogs who have anxiety, reactivity, aggression, or medical needs. Sensitive animals tend to settle with me quickly. I read body language well and adjust my approach to what each dog needs. I offer on-leash and off-leash walks based on your dog’s training, recall, and your preferences. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort—whether that’s a calm stroll or a fun adventure. Off-leash time is only done with your approval, in safe, designated areas I know well. I’m familiar with local trails and parks, including Campbell Valley and Derby Reach, plus several great dog-friendly parks nearby, depending upon the area. Or, if you prefer, around your neighborhood. My goal is simple: your dog gets a safe, fun walk and real connection. You get peace of mind knowing they’re with someone reliable who genuinely cares. I can also accommodate one small dog for boarding or daycare in my home. I work from home, so they get plenty of attention throughout the day—I previously had a Chihuahua, so I’m very familiar with small dogs and their needs. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes for care in your home. I also have experience with cats of all temperaments, horses, bunnies, birds, goats, and sheep. Pet care is my full focus, and I’m committed to providing reliable, trusted care for every pet I work with. I’m available weekdays, evenings, and weekends with flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I carefully follow their routines, pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and provide warm, trusted, attentive care so they feel relaxed and happy.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old — it’s basically been a lifelong part of my life, not just a hobby. Over the years I’ve looked after my own family dogs through every life stage, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and I’ve also regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. Right now I share my home with a senior golden shepherd, so I have hands-on, everyday experience with the specific care senior dogs need — medication schedules, mobility considerations, extra patience, and a lot of gentle attention. If your dog is getting a little older too, you’re in good hands. I have a house with a fully fenced yard, so dogs get safe space to run, sniff, and play without being on a leash the whole time — plus a calm, comfortable home to relax in between activity. What Sets Me Apart ∙ 20+ years of hands-on dog care experience, not just casual pet-sitting ∙ Specialized comfort with senior dogs, including medication administration and mobility needs ∙ Fully fenced yard for safe off-leash play ∙ Currently living with a senior dog myself, so your dog won’t be the only “elder” in the house — mine can even help set a calm example ∙ Experience caring for dogs across all ages and temperaments, from friends’ and family’s pets to my own I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to weave pet care naturally into my day rather than squeezing it into a few rushed windows. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches — I'm around throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, and company. My typical day includes a morning/afternoon walks, regular check-ins and outdoor time throughout the day in the fenced backyard. Since I'm home most of the time, I can also adjust on the fly — accommodating a specific feeding/medication schedule your dog is used to. I also currently care for my own senior dog, so pet care is already a built-in part of my daily rhythm — your dog will simply become part of that routine, not an add-on. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced backyard, so dogs get plenty of secure outdoor time to run, play, and explore without being on a leash the whole time — I keep a close eye on them whenever they're outside. Indoors, your dog will have a calm, comfortable space to relax and be part of the household rather than isolated away. I'm happy to follow whatever setup your dog is used to. I currently live with my own senior golden shepherd, so my home is already a dog-friendly, pet-experienced environment — not a house being adapted for pets, but one built around them. Because of this, I always prefer to schedule a meet and greet before a new dog's first visit. This helps me get familiar with your dog's personality and needs, and just as importantly, makes sure they're comfortable and compatible with my own dog before any stay begins. It's a simple step that helps set both dogs — and you — up for a stress-free experience. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, comfortable managing feeding and medication schedules, and always reachable throughout the day since I work from home. Whether it's a day visit or an overnight stay, I treat every dog in my care with the same patience and attention I'd want for my own.

“Priya was very nice with them. Did her best to make my dogs feel comfortable and break the ice. I was really anxious about leaving them with a dog sitter since they usually stay with friends, so I left them for few hours with Priya as a trial. It turned out great. They did so well with her.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Maple Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Maple Ridge is $39 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 2,300 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Maple Ridge. About 89% of Maple Ridge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.

Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:

  • Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
  • Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
  • Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
  • Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
  • Any seasonal gear they may need

On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.

If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 94% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.

These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Maple Ridge commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

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.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
