About: Hi, I’m Robin! Lover of all animals and will treat your dog like a member of our family! I had cats and fish growing up and then moved on to dogs! I have 10 years of hands‑on experience raising my Boston Terrier from birth and caring for her through every stage of life, including her final battle with cancer. She taught me to be patient, playful, attentive, and deeply affectionate with every dog I meet. I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of my friends and family’s dogs, and know how hard it can be to be away from your little fur babies but also at the same time be able to enjoy some alone time. As a homemaker, I’m home all day, and ready to step in and be a welcoming, affectionate and safe provider when you’re away! Your dog will get ample time to play, walk or hike ( depending on your dogs abilities) relax, snooze, and of course, eat! We have a fenced in back yard, where they’ll be able to do their “business” whenever they need and a few parks within walking distance for some leisure time. I also have experience administering oral and eye medication. Being a homemaker, mom to a 19 yr old, and having no more of our own pets, your dog will be getting plenty of time, love & attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband works from home and loves spending time with dogs too, so your pup will always have company. I live in a townhouse where your dog will never be far from my sight, not that many places to go lol. I live in a quiet neighborhood, where our backyard is fenced and not easily accessible to public. We have carpeted stairs making it easier to get up and down and a large carpet in the living room for them to roll around and scratch their backs!
“Words cannot describe how grateful we are to Oriana and JL for welcoming our pup into their home like she was theirs. We were nervous leaving her with new sitters, but they quickly eased our minds with countless photos and videos that we looked forward to every day. Our pup felt right at home and Oriana and JL did everything to make her comfortable. She was sad when we came to pick her up! I would HIGHLY recommend Oriana and JL and we feel a relief that we have found great sitters for our next trip. Thank you SO much!”
“I’m so happy that Sara took care of my dog, Cotton! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing Cotton was doing great. I could tell he was well cared for and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with Sara again next time!”
“Karina was an amazing sitter for my cat! It was her first time staying in a different home and she warmed up very quickly to Karina. Karina sent me daily updates of photos and videos which helped me feel at ease. It’s clear she gives the animals she watches lots of love and attention. I would definitely recommend Karina, and would use her as a sitter again in the future :)”
“Gloria is amazing! She is attentive, communicative and was so good with our Freddie. I don't think he wanted to leave her! Will not hesitate to use her again.”
“Bruna was so good with Dodi who tends to be anxious and shy. She was very responsive and sent regular updates, pictures and videos. I highly recommend her and we will be booking with her again for our future needs.”
“Our Shiba Yuki boarded with Sunny for 8 days, and we are so happy with the experience. It was our first time being away for so many days and leaving her with a dogsitter. Sunny is really patient. Her quiet home and calm personality is well suited for our anxious dog. Yuki bonded with Sunny immediately, which made us very comfortable and able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. She has a nice enclosed backyard for fun times, and Yuki loves it. We trust Sunny very much.”
“Justine was an amazing sitter for my sweet girl Roca. She welcomed her into her home and loved her like she was her own. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for your pooch.”
“Ruramai was really great watching Oscar for the first time. Her communication before and during the booking was very responsive and accommodating. She handled his medical needs perfectly, and was even able to deal with a minor hiccup related to medication. We really appreciated knowing that Oscar had a comfortable place to stay and loving companions while we were away. Thanks again!”
“Kelsey and Chris were so fantastic with our Shiba inu, Mochi! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times which we appreciated because we had a commitment come up and Mochi needed to stay a little bit longer than originally agreed upon! We met first for a meet and greet, which went fantastic and we did a trial night before we leave her for an extended period of time this summer. They were completely understanding and accommodating of all her funny little quirks, and their dog Dottie got along great with Mochi. Highly recommended!”
“Wei and Long are a God send! I have so much anxiety about leaving my pup with people, the minute I met them I was instantly at ease. Finn (my pup) loved them instantly and felt very comfortable with them. Throughout finns stay, I got lots of communication and pictures which made me deel even more at ease! They surpass a 5 start rating! Highly recommend!!!”
“This is the second time we’ve had our cockapoo has stayed at Vince and Eric and just like before, we had a lovely time experience. They provided plenty of updates and photos/videos so we knew how she was doing. They cared for our dog just like their own and showed her so much love and care. Thank you!”
“DaVinci had the best time with Lesley and her family while I was away for a week! I cannot rave enough about how well they took care of him. And I loved receiving photos of all his adventures while I was away. Thanks Lesley!”
“Gunay was amazing with my Maggie. She was able to accommodate me with short notice. Sent me lots of pictures, videos and updates. She even took her on a family outing to the lake. I will 100% be using her services again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you again.”
“Liudmila & Igor were great with our cockapoo. They took her out for a walk on the beach and spoiled her. She came home all exhausted and all she wanted to do was sleep. Friendly, accommodating, and responsive! thank you. we will book with you again in the future.”
“We were so happy rebooking with Alison. She always sends us messages and pictures to make sure we are updated daily. We felt our Gojo is safe and well taken cared of. Thanks Allison 🙂”
“Angela was the best pet sitter i could hope for for my senior dog. I felt so lucky that she was available and I knew my dog would be cared for really well. Super thankful for Angela and her kiddos.”
“Ranah and Franki were incredible caretakers for Huck. They were diligent and asked great questions during the intake. Their attention to details made me feel comfortable off the bat that they really cared about his wellbeing and to make sure it would be a good fit. During his stay, they were incredibly communicative with daily updates and cute pictures! I could tell by the pictures that Huck was very comfortable with them. I would 100% recommend Ranah and Franki to anyone looking for care for their pets. Thank you for making a paranoid dog mom feel comfortable :)”
“Eva and Julie are very caring energetic care givers to our dog Cooper! She loves them and I feel that they love her like their own dog ❣️ Thank you Eva and Julie and your whole family for taking such good care of our little girl. ❤️”
“Andrea and Sergio are awesome. Took great care of our puppy. Came through on short notice even! Sergio works from home so she had company the whole time, and she loved hanging out with their dog too.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Westminster
Ruramai took wonderful care of Lares for 10 days while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated throughout his stay. Lares came home happy and well cared for. We would happily trust her with him again and highly recommend her to other pet owners!
This is my second time having Sara take care of my dog while I was away on a long trip (two weeks), and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me updated every day with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while traveling. Her whole family loves dogs, and they always made my dog feel like part of their family. It’s clear that they genuinely care for the pets they look after.
Second time using Fayza in less than two weeks, and once again she was fantastic! She was incredibly proactive, kept me updated throughout, and made the whole experience stress free. My little guy came back happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Fayza again in the near future. Highly recommend!
Neelankshi took such great care of our chocolate lab Angus! Lots of walks and fetch + they took him to a beach a few times. Their dog Sissy and Angus became great friends. I would highly recommend her if you ever need boarding for your dog. Great communication. Great people.
It was my first time using Rover and I was very lucky to have found Xiaotao. She is an heaven sent, an angel, a saint. She was very kind and patient with my overly energetic labrador. She sent updates and pictures daily, which made me feel at ease. She even updated me on my dog’s poops. My dog was really spoiled at Xiaotao’s and I could tell from the pictures that my dog felt comfortable and calm with her very quickly, which is rare. I think she gets along really well with dogs because of her calm and patient demeanour. I would definitely book with her again and she would be my first choice every time. I cannot thank her enough for caring for my dog. She’s just wonderful.
Ran and Ishii bonded over his first stay with her. I was anxious as this was the 1st time Ishii was away from me for a long period of time. The daily messages, photos, and videos she sent made me feel reassured that Ishii was in good hands. I like how she’s knowledgeable, has deep understanding of dog care, and is empathetic. Ran and her husband cared for my fur baby with sincerity.
Anneka is always a comfort to have watch our animals. Her joyous and loving personality always puts my heart at ease when I have to leave them for a long time, and she truly cares for the animals as if they are her own - not just during the easy times, but when you need someone who will care from them as well as you would. She's our #1 sitter and we'll always rebook.
Exceptional care for our fur baby! We left our dog, Charlie, with Oriana and her husban Jean for 10 days, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Leaving a pet for the first time and for that long can be stressful, but we were completely at ease thanks to the frequent updates and obvious love Charlie received. He had an absolute blast and was treated like family. It was so comforting to see and gave us peace of mind that our Charlie looking so happy and relaxed while we were away. We will definitely be booking again—Charlie already misses his home away from home! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!
Our dog Koa had the best time with Janie while we were away. She was so great with her our dog Koa. She took Koa out on walks multiple times, and was attentive and sweet with her. Her place is clean, neat and spacious and has plenty of room for our dog to roam around. We were sent multiple updates and pictures. We highly recommend her, and will use her again soon. Thank you, Janie! Our dog came home happy and healthy.
Kate and her family were amazing! Kate was very attentive and accommodating to my dogs comfort and quirks. She was a great and responsive communicator and sent plenty of photos that showed how well taken care of my dog was during her stay. We are so appreciative for their last minute help, thank you!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Westminster home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your New Westminster
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
