About: I have experience helping take care of my younger sibling’s dog, and through that experience I realized how much I genuinely love being around animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel comfortable, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. I especially enjoy creating a calm and loving environment so pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working online at home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available on weekends for boarding and most weekdays after 2 PM. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. Safety and trust are very important to me. I always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and secure environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets receive lots of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care.
About: Hi there, I've grown up always having and loving dogs. I believe our four legged friends are part of the family, and deserve to engage and experience things beyond the walls they call home. I'd love to spend time socializing and exercising your pups while you're away doing what humans do! I'm currently working scattered 12 hours shifts (days and nights), so I'm available lots of random week days and typically for long periods of time. I also have an 11 year old female lab retriever who I walk regularly day and night, so ideally on days I'm working your pups can join us on our regularly scheduled walks. I will treat your pups with the same love and care I treat my own with. I am familiar with how dogs communicate and and empathetic towards dogs with special care instructions. I always make sure activities are safe and appropriate for the dogs in my care.
About: I have had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember! I have trained and raised my own dog and have cared for older dogs. I love animals so much and am looking forward to caring for your furry friend! I love animals so caring for them would fit into my weekend schedule as well as alternate Fridays. I am open to taking dogs for walks or spending a weekend with them. I love to be next to animals all the time so your pet will receive all the love and connection in my care! I provide in home services as well as walking.
About: I am pretty good with dogs. I love to walk and play around with them. I am very flexible with my hours I really love and enjoy morning walks with dogs. I think it's very relaxing to start your day doing with something you love. Record anything wrong with the dog, such as coughing, bloody stools, cuts, etc. Managed schedule via phone, email, and text message. Maintain a healthy and loving relationship with the animals. Work independently in creating an efficient daily route and schedule. Picked up and dropped off dogs to and from their homes. Understood special request and conditions for each dog.Walked dogs outdoors in all weather conditions (anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours at a time). Refreshed water, wiped paws and gave treats. I am very flexible with my schedule pretty much any days works for me. Just make sure to give me a day for cancellation . I allow pets on my bed or furnitures and I will make sure the are safe and if you require I will walk them the next morning
About: My love and compassion for all animals (in fact, ALL living things) is unconditional. Animals can sense this and return that love to me. Throughout my life I’ve had five pet "partners" two of which were dogs, including: Sox (m.) my boisterous bichon shih-tzu, from 1999 to 2011; Miss Inky (f.) my special shih-tzu, sadly only from 1996 to 1998; Greecy (m.) the “grey panther” my Burmese cat, from 1984 to 1988. That’s my pet short story which I liked sharing as much as I hope you liked reading. Currently my days and nights are free except when I am out of town in Alberta for a short work contract. Pet care presents no disruption to my routine. Crating can be used only if and when required either in my home or at your home. As my yard is not fenced, we go to the nearby park. Inside play is with a toy or a ball which I provide.
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and passion for pet care comes from learning pet care from my dad who is police dog trainer. I currently work from home it's a flexible job so l would have plenty time for the pet. Also I would love to go out on walks. I have fenced yard where we can go out play, I have play toys, yummy treats for the fur babies. Also would love to go on walks. I do not take many pets in one service so I can provide more personalized services.

I can go to your places // now I am based in Richmond but later I will relocate or commute to Burnaby side as well
About: Experienced cat, dog and snake sitter! I have experience with difference temperaments so shy, anxious, or high energy are no issue at all (: I’ve cared for animals with health issues including preparing and giving medications, and helping with post surgical care. I grew up with cats, dogs, lizards, and rodents and absolutely love animals! Being away at university I don’t get to spend much time with pets, but I always jump at the opportunity to pet sit for friends! I love photography as well and I’m happy to bring my camera to take some quality pics of your pets for you (: I’m currently a part time UVic student with lots of spare time to hang out with your pets! Happy to drop in or do a walk before and after my classes! I currently am not able to board animals at home, but I’m happy to do house sitting and drop in services for you and your pets (:
About: Took care of my first puppy chihuahua for 18 years. Now taking care of a 3 year old Bernedoodle. Lots experiences with all ages of dogs. I am only working part time so I have lots of time to be with my dog. When I am off work, we go to different parks or beach when the weather is nice. I live 1 block away from Stanley Park with a 3 year old mini berniedoodle. We take our walk alone the seawall everyday. We are at a air conditioned 3 bed room apartment so we got enough space for the pups.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mission
Jessica was great. Our dog is 9 years old/full of energy, and we have never left him alone with someone he does not know, so we were not really sure what to expect. There were defintely some hiccups at first which worried us, but Jessica found a way to make the drop-in visits work.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mission is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $42 per visit. 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 2,121 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Mission. About 86% of Mission 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 Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Mission 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!
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
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.
