“Gloria and her family were amazing. Our dog had never stayed with anyone other than a family friend before this. Gloria and her family took so much care of him and his needs. She took notes and asked everything a concerned person would.My dog warmed up to them all very easily and slept completely through the night. We would definitely have him over again!”
“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!”
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!
“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!”
“We had great experience booking with Allison, she was very responsive, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent and gave us peace of mind the entire time. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Sunny was looking after my fur baby for 10-days! That’s very long for this fur-mommy. She sent me daily updates with pictures and adored my baby. I can’t thank her enough but leaving this review for other fur mamas like me. Hope she won’t be too busy for my pup later tho!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 and I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel at home. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet time, I’ll make sure they receive patient, attentive, and loving care. I am currently a full-time college student doing online courses, so I’ll be available to care for your pup any day of the week except Wednesdays. I am free any time of the day including weekends. Your fur baby is welcome to roam freely around the house, and I can set up pee pads or crates if needed. I also have a small fenced yard for quick potty breaks, plus an off-leash dog park just two blocks away for fun adventures and exercise!
“Amazing service! Our Astro loved exploring the beautiful backyard and had such a fun trip. Wei was super welcoming and made the experience stress free. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter!”
“Justine took such great care of my dog Bo! She was super friendly, communicative, and easy to coordinate with! She sent lots of photos and kept me in the loop while I was away for the weekend, it gave me such peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her and book with her again ☺️”
“As always, Lesley and family are so great with Finnigan. We call them his second family. It makes it so easy for us to leave him having full trust in them. Always highly recommended!”
“Millie was so well taken care of. She had lots of walks and cuddles. Plus her hair and teeth were brushed more than at her own house, lol Will be booking again soon!”
“I have had my cats board with Luanne twice, most recently for a week, and both times she was absolutely wonderful! From the very first meet-and-greet, she was warm, patient, and genuinely interested in getting to know each of my pets and their routines. While I was away, she provided detailed updates with plenty of photos and messages about how each cat was doing. It was so reassuring to see them looking happy and comfortable in her home. She clearly made them feel safe and cared for, giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I could tell they were treated like part of her family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Luanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and professional pet sitter.”
“Bruna was so great with my young puppy. I had to leave him for the day and was super nervous about leaving him with a stranger. Bruna made me and my partner feel secure in knowing that our puppy was safe and taken care of. She sent me many updates along throughout the day and he looked just as happy as at home. I would definitely book with Bruna again!”
“Janie is very caring and gives our dog Daisy and our cat Junior lots of love and attention. Daisy had a wonderful and sweet stay with Janie and Junior enjoyed visits from Janie. We had no worries about Daisy and Junior during our trip for 19 days, because Janie always takes care of them to make sure they are happy and healthy and sends us updates every day. Thank you so much, Janie.”
“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!”
“Angela was so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“Highly recommend this high energy household for all your doggy needs. My boy had the best time and is looking forward to his next weekend with who he claims is now his second family!”
“I am so blessed and grateful to have found Gunay. She, together with her husband Sam and son Rafael took very good care of my baby Koko. I can’t thank them enough for all the care and love they provided and appreciated so much their professionalism, reliability and the constant communication sending photos and videos which put my mind at ease. Koko came home happy and calm. Will definitely be booking them again. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy and her mom took good care of Chewie. They sent me daily photos and videos. It was great to know that Chewie ate and slept well while I was away. He also got lots of exercise playing with their dog in their fenced backyard.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Westminster
Millie has a fabulous time with Janie and Sergei every time she stays with them!! She gets excited when we tell her she’s going to their house on a vacation and when we get home and ask how her vacation was she gets just as excited. Zoomies and all!! When we plan a holiday we check to see if they are available first.
Kate was an amazing dog sitter to my mom's beagle and my Australian shepherd. We highly recommend Kate for canine care taking. She is extremely patient and understanding, particularly with the beagle being a senior dog and having health issues. Thanks Kate for the love and care to our family pups!
Tania looks after our dog so well. He gets lots of walks, hugs and special treats that we approve beforehand. The apartment is very clean and tidy. Teddy even remembers the dog park beside their house and instantly gets excited. We will be booking with Tania again.
Asking a stranger to take care of our dog is difficult but Michelle let and made us feel that our pup is safe. Our dog live in a condo all her life and her place has similar setup - has balcony and pee pad and even has gate prior to door going out. She updated us every now and then through texts, pictures and videos. Her dog Mimosa was a good companion, although our dog was a little anxious and that is because it was a new environment and she maybe thinking she was given away. She loosen up a little bit and the next time would be easier for sure as she know it will be just temporary. Highly recommended.
Maria and her family took care of my pup Abby for a week and provided amazing care. Maria sent me daily updates, pics and videos and was so positive and caring. It was so nice to be away and know Abby was in such wonderful hands. I would 100% recommend Maria and will definitely use her again for boarding.
Xiaotao, Cynthia, is very nice and caring. Very polite and took good care of Mylo. Mylo has a medical condition and Cynthia was good about giving him his medication. Updated me regularly on his behaviour and sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her to one and all. I will definitely go back to her for Mylo.
We had such a wonderful experience Samantha! She was incredibly easy to communicate with from the very beginning, making the whole boarding process stress-free and well organized. She kept us updated throughout Lola's stay with lots of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated how respectful she was.. she always asked for our approval before doing anything and made sure we were comfortable with every decision. Her dog, Koda, is such a sweet and well-behaved boy. Lola is usually the type of dog who prefers being on her own, but I think she found a new best friend in Koda! It was so heartwarming to see them getting along so well. One of Lola's favorite parts was going swimming, and we loved that she got to enjoy activities she genuinely loves instead of just staying indoors. Her home is also in a fantastic location just right by a park and in a very pet-friendly building, so there are so many perks for dogs. It truly felt like Lola was treated like family while we were away. We couldn't have asked for better care and would absolutely trust her with Lola again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our girl! ❤️

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:
- 81% 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.
