About: I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, providing loving, attentive care so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have experience with senior and medically complex dogs as well as reactive dogs and puppies Pet care is my full-time job, so my days are dedicated to the animals in my care. I have the flexibility to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and attention throughout the day, while keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and respect your home and privacy. Building trust with both you and your pet is always my priority.
About: Hi there! My name is Nicole, and I'm a 38-year-old Etsy shop owner in Maple Ridge. I've had family dogs my entire life, ranging from 8-25 lbs. And my wife, Nikki, and I have been sharing full-time Dog Mom duties for over 5 years. In October 2025, we lost our good boy, Eddie, after a long decline during which I learned to comfortably administer insulin. Now, our sweet rescue girl, Moxy (age 9 or 10), has no fur friends to spend time with. While not required, I prefer to care for dogs who are comfortable with Moxy tagging along for walks and house-sits. She is a well behaved, house-trained, 9-year-old Maltese-Mini Schnauzer mix who is, as we like to say, "just happy to be there." She is good with most dogs, but becomes avoidant of dogs who get overly excited and rough. She plays very gently. I am available for dog walks, drop ins or day sits anytime after 9am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Thursdays are my focused work days, so I am only available after 5pm. I am also available for pet sitting any day of the week, as long as your pets are able to be left alone for up to 4 hours per day on weekdays. For new clients, I would like to schedule an in person meet-and-greet to ensure we are a good fit for each other. If you’re interested, please send a message with details about your pets and desired services. I'm happy to answer any questions :) Thanks!! WALKING + DROP INS + DAY SITS I am available for dog walks, drop ins or day sits anytime after 9am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Thursdays are my focused work days, so I am only available after 5pm. **I usually take an hour during Mon/Thurs to take our dog, Moxy, for a walk, so I have room for 1 more doggo to join us during those days. HOUSE-SITTING: I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I’m happy to water your plants and bring in the mail, and I will of course tidy up to ensure you can't even tell I was there. I can provide you with frequent updates, along with cute photos and videos so you can feel assured that your pets are well cared for. I work from home, meaning your pets will rarely be alone. They will get walks, belly rubs, potty breaks, and play time as desired. My work schedule is mostly flexible, allowing me to give your dog or cat plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My job requires about 15 hours per week of focused time spent at my home office. That work is usually done on Mondays and Thursdays, however, I can spread it out over the week to decrease the time that I'd need to be away from your pets if your trip falls on those days. You know your pet(s) best, so we can discuss the preferred way for me to accommodate them. Please let me know if you're comfortable with our well-behaved, house-trained, small dog Moxy visiting your house or joining for walks with your dog(s). She'd love the socialization. But if it's a no, that's okay. Please note, I am not comfortable caring for pets who: - cannot be left alone - fight to receive required medication - are not spayed/neutered - are aggressive - are incontinent - are fully blind - are likely to require multiple bathroom breaks overnight - are over 40 lbs (unless they are calm/not jumpy and good on a leash). At this time, I'm not able to board pets at our home, but I'm happy to come spend time with your pets in the comfort of their home.
“Darlee was great with my two dogs! She followed my detailed information to a tee and was very caring. My house was cleaner when I came home than when I left it! I would highly recommend her.”
“Ress was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my two large dogs and home for 3 weeks! She handled my German Shepherd’s leash reactivity and separation anxiety very well and was able to adapt to help him adjust to the changes. She had great communication with us and kept us well informed and sent update pictures throughout the sit! I highly recommend and book again!”
“This was my first time using Cara and I highly recommend her! The dogs were relaxed when I came home and the house looked organized and calm. She gave them a couple of stuffs and Onyx enjoyed gutting one yesterday. Talia is a chill dog, however, Onyx is much more intense. She handled them both and took great pictures of them!”
About: Having grown up with dogs, cats, horses and other animals, my passion for animals and animal care began young and has been lifelong. At a young age I became the trusted dog-sitter for friends & family, often doing overnights even as a teenager. As a young adult I have eagerly continued to care for friends pets as they travel or have work/ life commitments, and am exited to continue to do so for Rover clients. Within the last few years I have lived in a household with 2 large huskies, one with reactivity issues, and was a regular part of their daily feeding, care and exercise routines. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and reactivity levels. Please reach out if you have any specific questions or concerns. I currently have very flexible availability, and will do my best to adjust to your needs! Please reach out if you have any specific dates or times you would like that you do not currently see in my availability. I like to adjust to you and your pets routines as much as possible, to make the transition to a stranger easiest as possible on your pet. I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with you and your pet as well, so they have the opportunity to meet me before our first walk and/or my stay. Please let me know any specifics about your pet and/ or things they may need to feel most comfortable and relaxed while I am caring for them.
“This was my fourth time booking with Vivian, and she never disappoints. She didn’t miss a beat with daily updates, especially when it came to administering Leo’s medication. She even went the extra mile by changing the garbage, which I hadn’t requested. On top of that, she checked in on my return day and offered to stop by in case I was delayed—such a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”
“My family dog loved Feena! He deals with anxiety and she made him feel so comfortable, took him on lots of walks, and gave him lots of love when I was away. Feena is very professional and thorough and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker, sitter, and etc.”
“10 STARS!! We recommend Peggie for pet care and house sitting. Peggie is so kind and in sync with our dogs, I could not have hoped for better care. Peggie is tidy and organized, our home was perfectly cared for when we arrived home. I was nervous to leave our dogs for the first time and Peggie put my mind at ease and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos. I appreciated her care for me in this process as well. Peggie won over our nervous dog and was greeted for pets by the end of her stay. A great accomplishment and compliment to Peggie. Peggie’s care for our dogs and rabbits was excellent. (Feeding, cleaning, walking, spending time with them, playing) Moka is a great companion to any pets you have, gentle and a ready to play! Highly recommend Moka as a play date. I have found our dog sitter for any future vacations.”
“Elizabeth was great with our cat and two dogs! She was punctual, polite, and took excellent care of both our home and pets during our five-day trip. We’ll definitely be booking her again for our next getaway and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. Raising my own reactive quarantine pup taught me patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. I helped her become calmer and more comfortable around people, animals, and busy environments through consistent socialization and exposure training. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique personality and committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. I am currently working part-time while focusing on online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by owners. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention while in my care.
About: hello im Niki! Having been surrounded by pets during serveral years I have developed a great love for and compassion with animals. And now, being without my own pet for the first time in my life, I do what fills me with happiness and energy; caring for other’s pets. So I offer you my service. As my references will attest I am exceptionally good at what I do. I am a caring, attentive, responsible, detailed oriented person, committed to developing a trusting, safe, and caring relationship with your pet(s) and you😊. Our pets personalities are as diverse as ours, some high energy needing unleashed play and long walks, or more mature ones seeking leisurely strolls and contemplative siting. Although I’m not a self-proclaimed “trainer” or “whisperer”, I do understand the importance of patience, tone, and consistency in working with animals. And I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets. Please feel free to contact. However, please note that I live in a townhouse and dogs are not allowed to go on 2nd floor because I find it very hard to clean the carpet. Otherwise I would love to see them going everywhere around my house, even on my bed! Hope you understand. I would also set up a air bed in the living room sometime—just to sleep with your fluffy child! I’m currently working as a full time. Work 5 days per week on Monday-Friday , 8:00-4:00pm. Available before and after work. But I’m flexible and my partner works from home. So your pets will never fell alone! Feel free to inbox me! I'll ensure that your pets are kept safe, clean, well-fed and healthy even when you’re not around. 📝 I provide live updates with lots of pictures and videos, and a detailed log of meals and excretions so you can rest assured. Feel free to reach out anytime! I look forward to hearing from you soon 😊
“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!”
“Thank you Becky & Dylan for taking care of our little kids and our home. The pups were happy and the house was so well taken care of. You were both so easy to work with and the pups were so quick to like you both. We appreciated the photos and updates while we were away, you made us feel like we could relax on our trip. We would love to have you watch the kids again. Don and I would whole-heartedly recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again!!! Pibo, Lilly and Winston thank you too!! xoxo”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep empathy for animals and a unique skill set. I have extensive experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors from a young age. Additionally, I'm well-versed in providing gentle care and attention to senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My dedication to understanding each pet's individual needs and going the extra mile to make them feel loved and secure truly sets me apart. I work from home and working from home gives me extra free time to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring their well-being. I provide dedicated in-home pet care by following the specific instructions provided by the client. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, ensuring playtime and exercise, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for their pets. My goal is to create a stress-free and loving atmosphere for their furry companions while the client is away.
About: Growing up with dogs all my lives, caring for pets has always been a natural part omy family. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience raising, training, and loving dogs of different breeds, personalities, and needs. Having my own dog deepened my understanding of daily routines, emotional care, and what it truly means to be a responsible and loving pet parent. As dog parent who have used daycare and sitting services ourselves before my dog passed away, i understand the trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. That’s why I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care, just like i would want for my own dog. I focus on creating a happy, playful, and nurturing environment where dogs feel comfortable, relaxed, and excited to be. From fun walks and engaging playtime to cozy cuddles and calm companionship, I make sure every dog receives personalized attention, affection, and plenty of tail-wagging moments.
“Morgan is the most amazing sitter I ever wished for. Her care of my needy older dog was out of this world. She cared and loved him exactly as I do. I never worried about him a second when I was away for 21 days knowing he was in excellent hands. The house was spotless as well when we returned. She is the best sitter ever. I will absolutely ask her to care for Milo again and again. .”
“Ashley took excellent care of our sweet cat Tessa, as well as leaving our home spotless!! Tessa was relaxed and happy when we came home, and Ashley kept us updated with lots of photos while we were away. Highly recommend Ashley - your pets and your home will be in great hands!!”
“Marie spoiled Boomer with cuddles and even a sleepover in the bed.... she left my place the same she found it, fishes done and sheets in laundry. Marie was super and sent pics and updates of Boomer multiple times a day. She even went the extra mile and watered my outdoor plants during the heat... ? Thank you Marie, we can't wait for the next time Your new friend Boomer”
About: I have had animals of my own over the years as well as caring for neighbours animals and several pet sitting jobs. I love to snuggle and chat with pets! My schedule is currently pretty open, I have experience living at home with pets and just dropping in. I am very go with the flow and can make lots work! I have a fenced back yard if need be, I always aim to have a leash on pets just for peace of mind (if outside).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maple Ridge
Daria was the angel in disguise that we needed for our much loved 14 1/2 year old dog with multiple health issues. He is deaf, severely arthritic and is gradually going blind. Daria was able to give him all of his meds plus manage a fairly complicated feeding routine. She loaded him into her car and took him for several walks every day then sent us multiple pictures and videos. He was very happy and didn’t seem to miss us for the 2 weeks that we were gone. When we got home the house was cleaner than we’d left it and she’d done the laundry and even wiped out the fridge! Daria is a wonderful person and a definite dog whisperer. Thanks so much for taking such great care of our sweet old boy!!
Alejandra was great! She accommodated a meet up prior to the stay to meet my dog Bear and myself. I haven’t had someone stay at my home before to watch my dog so I was a little nervous at first. Alejandra provided many updates over the 2 days which kept my mind at ease. She left my apartment clean and tidy. I would have her stay over and provide pet care again. Happy to have found a reliable and trustworthy person to take care of my fur baby.
Kelsey did an excellent job of taking care of our animals (2 cats, 1 dog and 3 chickens) while house sitting! It is very important for us to find someone capable as we have a very needy Shepsky. She even cleaned up some accidents and did other extras. Lots of updates and photos from her. She is very positive and caring. We will definitely use her in the future!
Omg, Viktoriia was amazing!. Very hard to find a new person for our animals and trust with our home. She stayed at our home for 2 weeks and almost daily we would get pictures, videos and updates of our animals and kept our home so clean even doing bedding daundry. More than impressed. Also was happy that if she had questions l, she was not shy to ask. Made me feel more comfortable with the care she was giving. Anyone would be lucky to have her. Would for sure use her services again.
We had an excellent experience with Marianne and Danna and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters. They took wonderful care of our dog, Luca, and our cats, Coco and Echo, while we were away. Luca can be sensitive when his routine changes, and Coco and Echo each have their own unique personalities, but Marianne and Danna were patient, attentive, and incredibly kind with all three of them. We especially appreciated the updates and communication throughout our trip. Knowing that our pets were receiving so much care and attention gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, Luca, Coco, and Echo were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. It was obvious that Marianne and Danna genuinely cared about our pets and treated them with love and respect. They also kept our house very neat and clean, just like we left it. Thank you both for taking such great care of our furry family. We are truly grateful and would happily trust you with Luca, Coco, and Echo again in the future!
We cannot say enough positive things about Megan. For our little family, the impact of introducing Megan to our reactive and fearful dog Maggie has been overwhelmingly positive. Megan was patient and understanding throughout the slow introductions, letting Maggie get to know her slowly and with trust. Leaving Maggie in someone else's hands for a week was made so much easier with Megan's confidence that everything would be ok and Maggie would be absolutely fine. And Megan was right. We wont hesitate to book Megan again for future needs, in fact, shes part of the family now.
Tracy was an absolute wonderful sitter! She stopped by the house before the sit to make sure she was well acquainted with the dogs! She was able to handle my large German Shepherd’s dog reactivity with ease. I came back to very happy and tired pups! She was very attentive to their needs and provided great care! She left the house spotless! Would highly recommend and would love to have Tracy sit again!

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 .
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
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
- 89% 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.
