“I would definitely recommend Mercedes to any cat owner. Muffin Top needs pills daily and this was my first time leaving him since he has started this routine. I felt confident when she visited, she checked in on the app and sent videos and pictures. I felt very secure leaving my baby in her care. I will definitely be choosing Mercedes to watch Muffy in the future!”
“Celina was an excellent sitter for my cat. She provided great updates daily with pictures. I have no concerns whatsoever and plan to ask for her services for any future sitting needs”
“Sabrina was very responsive, punctual, and attentive to our instructions. She did her best to interact with our scaredy cat and managed to get him out of his shell. She sent us pictures and videos every day and made sure we felt comfortable leaving our car alone for the first time. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Nicole is warm, communicative and super knowledgeable! She was really thorough with asking all of the right questions to make sure my cat would be well cared for and I felt super comfortable knowing she was with him for my weekend away. Would book her again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much, Nicole!”
About: I have always loved animals ever since I can remember! Growing up, there were always animals in the house! I knew that I wanted to pursue a career where I could work with and help animals every day, which is why I decided to enroll in the veterinary assistant program right after I graduated high school. I worked as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary hospital for about a year and a half until I decided to further my education and responsibilities in the veterinary industry and become a Registered Veterinary Technician. In 2020, I was accepted to both Douglas College and Thompson Rivers University's "Veterinary Technology" program. I ultimately decided to attend Douglas College so I could stay in the city. I graduated from the "Veterinary Technology" program in 2022 and passed my national board exam shortly after. I am currently a Registered Veterinary Technician working full-time at a veterinary hospital in Vancouver, and I love it! I have been in the veterinary industry since 2019 and would not change it for the world. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have vast knowledge of medical care and procedures, puppy and senior care, animal handling, and more. I also have a sweet senior pup named Skylar, who I have had the pleasure of having in my life for almost 14 years now! I am currently working full-time at a veterinary hospital in Vancouver but am typically off on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I would love to make your pet's life part of my weekly routine! Safety is my number 1 priority. I will always proceed at your pets pace and would never do something your pet isn't comfortable with. I work in a certified fear free veterinary hospital where creating a stress-free environment is incredibly important to me.
“Blake and Carly took great care of our cat when we were on vacation. They always responded to my messages very promptly, and provided very detailed check in information for every visit. Exactly what we need for a relaxing vacation!”
“Alexis communicated well and our puppy loved spending time with her. She was easy to schedule with and very flexible. It helps to know that someone who cares is coming for our puppy visits. We would book Alexis again!”
“Ashely was wonderful! We left a ton of instructions for our need cat and she did such a great job listening and following, but also adapting where needed. We would recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a cat sitter!”

“Michelle was our first ever pet sitter and wow!! We are super grateful our kitties were so well cared for, and really appreciated the many sweet photos and updates along the way. Michelle went above and beyond caring for our home as well, it was a joy to come home to. I highly recommend Michelle and will definitely be booking again!”
About: I've been caring for multiple dogs and cats for my entire life! Currently I have 3 cats of my own they are the light of my life and I miss having daily dog interactions so much! I would love to visit, play with, walk, and love your dog(s) and cat(s). I also have experience caring for rodents such as guinea pigs and rabbits, as well as professional experience caring for fish and snakes. I have lots of availability right now as I wait for school to start again in the fall!! I currently have nothing but time to offer the pets in my life. Because my small apartment is already full of 3 cats with big personalities, I don't currently have the option to bring your pet into my home. However I am happy to come to you for visits, walks, and homestays! I will always respect your space by heeding directions and leaving it as I found it.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with personal experience raising two dogs from puppyhood—both of whom started off with timid, anxious personalities. Because of that, I’ve developed a calm, patient approach that helps nervous or shy dogs feel safe and at ease, especially around new people. I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands like sit, stay, and recall, as well as fun tricks like “paw,” “lay down,” “up,” and “turn around.” I also have plenty of experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. Caring for my own dog Winston—who recently developed both seasonal and food allergies—has taught me how important it is to pay attention to special needs, whether it’s diet, medication, or extra TLC. I’ll always treat your fur baby like my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. You can also count on regular photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I'm currently working from home and can do drop ins any time during the week from 11am-3pm, 7pm- 10pm, and any time during weekends. Also I am available to house sit on week days from 7pm to over night until the next day at 8am, any time on weekends. For more scheduling, please DM me and we can find a schedule that works for you! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on creating a calm, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. I always take time to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to. This helps reduce anxiety and keeps things predictable while you're away. I take safety seriously—whether it's securing doors and gates, keeping an eye on their behavior, or making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I’ll keep your home tidy, treat it with respect, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m especially mindful with shy, anxious, or senior pets and always move at their pace. My goal is to build trust with both you and your fur baby from the very start.
About: I lived at an animal rescue for 5 years. While there I assisted in care of bunnies, ferrets, rats, chinchillas, birds, cats, and dogs. I also fostered turtles and bunnies after moving away from there. Available in the mornings and evenings to walk your precious pupperino! I use transit right now, so I would be walking dogs in your area. Right now I am unable to care for pets in my own home. At your home I am always available to your pet. They are not left unattended outside.
“The most mindful, polite and truly loving pet-sitter I have ever come across. If Rover's sitters were even half as considerate, mindful and compassionate as Nasrin, the world would be a much better place. She truly has a connection with all animals, and animals with her. I would hire her million times. Highly recommended.”
About: I have taken care of friends' dogs when they were unable to, taking them on walks and feeding and playing with them. But I have much more experience with cats, having fosters, owned, and co-habited with cats for over 7 years. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite open and I can be quite flexible! Am able to spend time with your kitty playing with them while you're away to keep them stimulated. I let pets come to me first, allowing them to establish boundaries. Let them sniff my hand without extending my fingers to allow them to get used to me. I clean my cat's litter box daily and play with my cat using a wand toy every day. After finding his love of pingpong balls, I throw those around for him to play with.
“Had a wonderful experience with Robyn! I really appreciated the level of communication and correspondence she had, all the photos and videos were so comforting while I was away. She was professional and most importantly, my cats seemed to really respond positively to her energy :) I will definitely book with Robyn again, 5 stars!”
About: I have been a cat mom for many years. I have experience in taking care of senior cats and those with limited abilities. I also have experience walking dogs and helping those with anxiety! I am often available during the weekends and holidays. My weekdays can vary depending on my schedule but I can always work around my schedule to make a kitty or puppy happy! I don't provide services in my house but for the clients houses, I would appreciate to have a list of care instructions, allergies, medicines and safety information.

“Tori has helped with my 5 dogs several times and I trust her completely with their care and comfort. She is at ease around them and clearly loves them. I have also seen her interact with cats and I know she adores them. I have full confidence in her affection for and care of animals and would not hesitate to have her be their caregiver.”
Sang Yoon C.
“Yoon is an amazing dog dad to his boy, Winston, and just as amazing with all other animals. I got to see him with his dog from the day he picked him up nearly 4 years ago, and he has worked consistently to make sure that Winston is a well-behaved, friendly, loving, and happy pet. Yoon is incredibly responsible and gives Winston all the love and attention he could ever need and want. I would absolutely trust Yoon (and Winston) to look after any pet, knowing they’d be in great hands.”
Jessica P.
“Jessica has walked my husky/border collie (Arlo) many times. Arlo loves her and gets very excited when she sees Jess, even gives her less hassle than me when it's time to get her harness on. They are usually gone for 45ish minutes, she's even taken Arlo on a few runs over walks. Brings her own poop bags and will track their walks so I can see where they went.”

He has also stayed overnight, and I always return to a happy and well-cared-for dog. I trust him completely to stick to Yogi's routine and give him all the attention he needs. He is also wonderful with my cat, Lulu. He has looked after her multiple times, making sure she gets lots of playtime and affection. It’s clear that he understands how to interact with different types of animals and can adapt his care to their unique personalities and needs. Fabian is reliable, trustworthy, and a true animal lover. I am confident he would be an excellent and dedicated pet walker and caregiver for anyone who needs one. Sincerely, Tigran M.”

New Westminster cat parents share their Rover experiences
As a first time user on this platform I felt wary. Like any anxious pet parent I was hesitant to let a stranger watch over my furry friend. I am more than relieved to have met Erin. To her, this is not just a job, but a passion. Anyone can show up and clean a litter box- but Erin does a phenomenal job at showing up. I can guarantee that she is reliable. She showed up, gave my kitty medicine, kept him company - sometimes longer than necessary so he became more comfortable around her, and did routine maintenance. I received pictures and notes. Communication is easy. Thank you Erin for taking care of my best friend :)
Grace was a fantastic sitter for my cat, Waffle! She sent tons of videos and pictures and clearly gave Waffle lots of love. She was lovely to communicate with and gave excellent updates that put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book her again and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Blake was an amazing sitter for my cat when I was away for 1.5 months! He made sure to play with Gigi, check her litter box and water. He was a fantastic sitter and I would definitely book with him and Carly again! If I could give 100 stars I would! Don’t hesitate to book with them if you need a great pet sitter.
We have rebooked Madeline multiple times and we are so impressed with how much our normally very timid cats have opened up to her. She is always reliable, sends excellent rover card updates and photos, and spends quality time with our cats every visit. Thank you, Madeline!
Alina was great. She took the job on short notice, was here on time for every appointment, sent great feedback and Mo clearly liked her. I came home to clean boxes, full water dishes, and a well looked after cat. I'll definitely seek her out the next time I need stop in care for my cat.
Janie is amazing. Junior really enjoyed his stay with lots of attention and love from Janie and her husband. Janie has communicated with us in a very friendly manner and provided us with the peace of mind. We will ask her to take care of Daisy again. Thanks, Janie.
