“Andrea was amazing. I was using Rover for the first time anne was a little worried about the services and the fact that it was a drop in service, but the individual that is coming to your home is fully vetted, and she made me feel at such ease while I was away and did every one of the things that I told her to do for my for a baby. I will be recommending her to anyone I know and be using her myself in the future. Thank you again for being so great with my Simba”

“We could not be happier with our decision to use Faith to take care of our two dogs and our cat during a drop-in visit. She is caring, communicative, and went above and beyond for our babies. One of our dogs had an upset stomach and had an accident on the carpet. She made sure to clean it up and even came back with her personal carpet cleaner! We look forward to using Faith again soon, and so do our dogs!”

“Sarah has been such a great help with raising our new puppy, Dug. She has been around since he came home at 8 weeks and she comes regularly during the week for hour long puppy visits to feed, potty and play with him. Dug seems to really enjoy his time with Sarah. After she leaves, Dug is so tired and satisfied that every time we check our puppy cam, he is sleeping peacefully in his crate until we come home from work. We highly recommend Sarah!”

About: I have owned dogs, cats, and birds since I was 10 years old. And I have had a deep connection to nature and its beautiful creatures for even longer. Animals have always seemed to naturally gravitate toward me, and I’m the guy at the social event you’ll find in the corner petting the dogs. I have been told I have “golden retriever energy”, so you know I can keep up with your more energetic animals. Walks will be daily, and dare I say your pet will have so much fun they won’t even miss you? (don’t worry though, daily updates will still be provided). I’ve been providing pet care to friends, family, and acquaintances for as long as I can remember… and now that I have more free time on my hands, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to branch out and offer my services to the masses. :) I’m currently a student with a schedule that is not too demanding. My 6 hour school days still allow me to ensure daily walks and lots of love and attention, are things you can count on I am incredibly responsible and respectful while I’m in your home, and will treat it like my own. Don’t be surprised if it is cleaner than you left it, as I like to keep my hands busy. I will pay extremely close attention to detail - if your pet is a runner, rest assured the gates will always be triple checked. If your pet has medical issues, medication will happily and carefully be administered as per your instruction. If your pet is anxious about your departure, extra care will be taken to ensure as much time spent in the home as physically possible.

About: My name is Sarah, I’ve had pets my entire life, however my current situation doesn't have room for another dog... so I've decided to give all my love to yours instead :) I have 9 years experience now as a dog sitter/walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your dog(s). I am very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your fur babies happy while you're away. I have lots of experience caring for dogs with special needs (old and young) and of all different sizes and breeds. I know how it feels to worry when you’re away from your pet, so you can have peace of mind they always be well loved and safe with me. I am a runner and happy to bring your dog along for a jog if they’re up for it!! I own my own business and work remote so can be available 24-7 when dog sitting. This also allows flexible times for walks & check ins. I don't offer my home for boarding at this time - however your home = your rules. So whatever your instructions are and what the dog is used to us exactly what I'll do.

About: My Response time 8am-8pm! Hi! I’m Gabriella, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. I’ve been raised around both dogs and cats my entire life, so understanding their personalities, needs, and quirks comes naturally to me. Whether it's an energetic pup who needs plenty of playtime or a shy dog who prefers gentle company, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and understood. I offer dog walking, dog boarding, and doggy daycare, all with a focus on safety, structure, and affection. My goal is to give every dog a fun, comforting, and positive experience while giving you peace of mind. With me, your pet gets: Reliable walks tailored to their energy level A cozy, home-style boarding environment instead of a stressful kennel Interactive, enriching daycare with play, downtime, and plenty of attention Constant communication and updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and turning that passion into a service for others is something I’m genuinely excited about. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family—because to me, they are. I have animals myself, i live being surrounds by them it doe not feel like work when you love the companionship! I spend a lot of my free time with them! I have a big back yard with plenty of room to run! And live so close to lakes! So lots of dog friendly activities near by! They get taken care of in a home environment!

About: Your dog's safety, happiness, and health are our top priorities! We are Elise and Moti, as lifelong animal lovers and responsible caregivers, we understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands while you're away. We’ve both grown up with dogs in our families (that’s my family’s dog Jackson in our profile picture!) and have taken care of them our whole lives. Over the years, we've dog-sat for neighbors and friends, and together, we also have experience dog sitting and fostering bully breeds. We provide attentive, loving care that keeps your dog safe, engaged, and well looked after—whether we're going on walks, playing, or just relaxing with them at home. We take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and personality, and we’re committed to maintaining their routine, offering enrichment, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. We also have a pup of our own, Chica—a sweet boxer mix who would love a friend to hang out and play with! You can count on us for regular updates, clear communication, and genuine love for animals. We’ll treat your pup like family—because to us, they are! My husband, Moti, and I both work from home, so your pup will have constant company and supervision throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, a cuddle break, or just some quiet time nearby, we’re always around to meet your dog’s needs and keep them feeling safe and loved. If I ever need to step out for a bit, your dog won’t be left alone—they’ll be home with Moti, or they’re always welcome to come along for a drive if that’s something they enjoy. Your pup’s safety and comfort are at the heart of everything we do. We have nearly 2 acres of property—plenty of space for your dog to explore, sniff around, and enjoy outdoor time in a secure and supervised setting. Dogs are always supervised when outside to ensure they stay safe and happy while they play or relax in nature. Inside our home, your dog will enjoy a calm, cozy environment with plenty of time to relax, snuggle up, and feel right at home. Our own dog, Chica, is crate trained and has a great routine—so we’re very familiar with managing structured downtime and safe spaces if your dog is also crate trained or prefers their own little den. We prioritize maintaining your pup’s routine and creating a space that feels familiar and low-stress. You can trust that your dog will be well-cared for, safe, and surrounded by warmth and love while staying with us.

About: Hello! My name is Zoé. I’ve been around dogs my entire life (I’m 26 now), my family and I have always shared our home with them. My childhood dog, Chappie, is turning 15 this year and he’s truly my best friend. We sadly lost his sister, Coco, a couple of years ago, and since then Chappie and I have been even more inseparable. Helping each other through that loss deepened my bond with him and reminded me how much comfort and love dogs bring into our lives. Over the years, our dogs have had a few litters, which gave me plenty of hands-on experience with puppies — from feeding and walking to playtime, training, and grooming. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and dogs with special needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve house-sat and dog-sat for friends and family for several years. More recently, I took on a daily dog-walking job outside of Rover, walking a client’s dog every day for three weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed it — not only did it have a positive impact on the dog, but it also had a positive impact on my own health and happiness. That experience really confirmed for me that this is something I want to continue doing: helping others who may not always have the time, while also spending more time doing what I love most — being around dogs. Above all, I want you to know that I genuinely love dogs, I am trustworthy, reliable, and will always treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect that I give my own. At the moment, I work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can usually adapt to your dog’s needs and routine. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just checking in, I’ll be there to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for! Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take every step to create a secure, loving, and stress-free environment for the pets in my care. • Safe Handling & Walks: I use secure leashes/harnesses and always stay alert on walks to keep dogs away from hazards. I only walk dogs under my direct supervision — no off-leash walks unless specifically requested in safe, enclosed spaces. If your dog does not do well with others I will make sure to keep them away from other dogs/people. • Health & Special Needs: I have experience administering medication and caring for senior dogs or those with special requirements. I closely follow all instructions provided by owners to ensure consistency in care. • Trust & Reliability: I arrive on time, communicate clearly, and provide updates so you always know how your dog is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love, patience, and respect. • Safe Home Environment: At home, pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas, and I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and a calm, comforting atmosphere. If you have specific rules for them, I will make sure to do exactly as they say. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be cared for with the same dedication I give to my own best friend, Chappie.

About: I grew up with an English bull terrier which was more like a cat! Also, I had black and yellow labs that loved to chase ducks down the river. Growing up I also had a boxer who was the runt of the litter. She was very alpha and liked to do head stands and box! My first rescue animals were a Rhodesian Rottweiler and a blue tick hound. Both were rescued farm dogs that hit the lottery coming into our family! My most recent animals now are two rescue cats from maple ridge humane society. One is 12 with dwarf legs so can't jump or run but I carry her everywhere. The second cat is a black house cat who is almost a year old. They are precious! Walking dogs in the early a.m. and also around dinner works best for my schedule. Weekends are included! I miss having a dog to run so the thought of yours needing a walk makes me want to get rite over there as soon as possible. I have a car that I can take your pooch to there favorite spot to walk! My car is low and easy for your dog to get into!

About: I have extensive experience with dogs in both my professional and personal life. With education in veterinary technology and hands-on work in a veterinary setting, I’m confident caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also provided dog care and house sitting for others, making sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a lifelong dog lover, I understand how important routine, exercise, and affection are to their well-being. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, medication administration, walks, grooming, and recognizing small changes in behavior or appetite. Above all, I take pride in giving every dog I care for the attention and kindness they deserve. I'm currently a university student and only need to attend class tuesday and thursdays unless otherwise stated, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I'm a cat and dog mom to seniors and I love them with my whole heart. I understand the need for scheduling and attention pets of all life stages require on a daily basis. With previous experience in Veterinary Technology in a clinical setting, I am comfortable providing medications in any form, as well as handling pets of all sizes.

About: In my pre-Canada days, I had a blast caring for pets! I trained my award-winning German Shepherd (Jessie) to be a little champ at 5 months old and supported her as she navigated the challenges and stresses of motherhood for the first time, helping her become a great mom to her puppies. A furry tale of cats and character was brought to me by Umka, the feline queen, and her adventurous kittens were a little bundle of surprises that turned my life into a delightful circus. Now in the land of maple leaves, my experience in caring for a cat clan and a faithful dog sets elevate my pet sitting service. I combine instinctive empathy with a flair for fun, offering your pets a uniquely attentive and engaging stay, where their happiness is my priority. I am working from home most days of the week and my family just moved to a townhouse with a backyard and a park right outside the fence. Pet care works well with my schedule and I am highly flexible with my time. 1150 sqf of space for running (and sleeping) + a fenced backyard in a pet friendly neighborhood and 2 dog parks one block of each other

About: Only Accept One Dog at a Time Why We Started Rover Our beloved dog, Hockey, passed away in September 2025 at the incredible age of 19 years and 11 months. After nearly two decades together, our home felt empty. We joined Rover because we missed having dogs in our lives. Today, every dog who stays with us is welcomed like family and cared for with the same love, patience, and respect that Hockey inspired. Every dog is different. Before each stay, we take the time to learn about your dog's personality, routines, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. We carefully follow your instructions so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Daily Updates We know you'll miss your furry family member, so we'll send plenty of photos and videos throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind that they're happy, safe, and loved. While you're enjoying your vacation, your dog will be enjoying theirs—a true 5-Star Home Stay & Play experience. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. I’m working from home during weekdays, so your dog will always have company and attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. I make sure they get plenty of exercise each day and am happy to run with them at the nearby soccer field In our home, we care for pets as if they were our own—offering plenty of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. We follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, to keep them comfortable and happy. Outdoor time is always supervised in our little fenced yard, Whether it’s cuddle time or quiet time, we adjust to each dog’s unique needs so they feel right at home.

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.

Faith took such good care of our dynamic duo. She sent us an update when she arrived and photos and let us know how they were doing. I’m pretty sure they were hoping to see her when I opened the door when we arrived home! Our cats can sometimes be a little shy with new people but they seemed like they immediately and easily warmed up to Faith. It was such a relief to have zero worries about them while we were away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mission

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mission is $27 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 2,252 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.

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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
