“Hee Jae was wonderful and took great care of my cat. She remembered and followed all of the instructions I had given her, which I really appreciated. During each visit, she took time-lapse videos and sent me lots of videos and updates, so I could feel at ease while I was away from home. I especially loved being able to see videos of my cat whenever I missed him. She was also very punctual, easy to communicate with, and always open and responsive, which made me feel that I could really trust her. I would definitely recommend Hee Jae to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I love pets more than people! I would love to hang out with yours!💜 I've had pets my entire life and, as a proud cat mom to two of the best kitties, I know how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I'm the person friends turn to when they need someone trustworthy to look after their pets. I recently took my two cats on an extended road trip, and they did wonderfully—proof of my ability to care for animals in all kinds of situations! I love animals more than people, and I'll treat your pets with the same level of affection and attention as my own. I’m self employed and often work from home. I have lots of time to visit and exercise your pets. I also go for walks/hikes often so I would love to have your pet join me! I have 2 cats that are cool with small, cat friendly dogs. Have a fenced in concrete patio (no grass.) I also live across the street from a park and several walking paths.

About: I've raised my dog since he was a puppy and have learned a lot along the way!~ I treat every dog like my own, and provide the right structure and leadership for an enjoyable and productive walk. I work odd hours so I can be flexible during the day and evening. I love to walk and am outside as much as I can be. Getting to know your dog and their needs is my top priority. Its important to build trust and a relationship so that your dog is happy on our walk. I'm good at communicating to you and above all, listening to how you need your dog taken care of.

About: I worked in the pet care industry for 10 years in various positions from grooming, dog daycare, boarding, and walking. I am professional, skilled, and very reliable. I own a pet services business so it makes up the majority of my daily routine! It is my full time job and the more time I spent with animals the happier I am! I treat every animal in my care as if they are my own. I bond closely with them and I’m experienced in dealing with a variety of issues an animal may have, whether it’s separation anxiety, fear reactivity, or health issues. I’m always happy to provide references from past clients as well

About: Hello! My name is Daria, and I love animals! I grew up happily taking care of a golden retriever named Nika, up until the time when I had to move to Canada. Since then, I have felt a lack of animal energy in my life, and I would love to have a privilege of walking and taking care of your furry best friend. I deem myself attentive, responsible and flexible, and I will make sure to get to know your pet as best I can to be able to fulfill all their needs and provide them with a loving and secure environment during our walks or stays. I’m absolutely sure that pets make our lives 400% better, and I would like to offer help with caring for your pet, thus making your routine a little easier. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet :) I’m currently teaching yoga part-time, so I have plenty of give in my schedule to take care of your pet - be it a simple walk or a longer-term stay. I have an outdoor patio and a large park with a dog area right behind the condo. If I’m staying at your place, I will make sure to follow your instructions and have the utmost respect for your home’s privacy.

About: I've owned dogs for over 20 years, I really understand how to care for them. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well-looked after. I work from home full-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and from office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I return by 4:00 pm. This schedule allows me to give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's a typical day: Morning walk: 7:00-7:30 am for about 15 minutes around the neighborhood. Midday walk: 12:00 pm for a 40-minute stroll to a nearby dog park or the Quayside area. Afternoon walk: Around 4:00 pm for another 15-minute walk in the neighborhood. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting on weekdays and have flexible hours on weekends, so your pet will always be well cared for. I would care for your dog in our spacious 3-bedroom apartment. My home offers plenty of room for your dog to enjoy their stay, lower unit with no elevators or stairs to worry about. I am just steps away from the beautiful Quayside boardwalk, where I’ll take your dog for daily walks, and with my vehicle, we have endless options for trips to nearby parks. I have small fenced patios with grass areas where your dog will be welcome to relax. When outside, your dog will be on a leash unless we’re in a fenced dog park, ensuring they’re always safe and secure.

Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always ensure dogs are walked in safe, avoiding busy streets or areas that may pose hazards. My goal is to provide a stress-free, enjoyable experience for pets while giving owners peace of mind.

I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care.

About: Hi! I'm Julia, based in Burnaby. I take only one pet at a time, so yours will be the only guest in my home. No other animals, no competing for attention. You'll hear from me every day: photos, videos and a short note on how your pet is doing. That's the part my clients mention most. I work from home, so your pet won't be alone for long stretches. Walks, feeding, playtime and any medication happen on your pet's usual schedule. 18 years with pets of all kinds: cats, dogs, hamsters, parrots. I'm comfortable with big energetic dogs (a 90 lb Doberman is one of my regulars) and with shy cats who need time and patience before they trust someone new. Happy to host at my place. Tell me about your pet and we'll figure out what works best. I work from home, so I'm with your pet through the day rather than just mornings and evenings. Feeding, walks and playtime happen on your pet's schedule, not around a commute. I'm usually free on weekends and can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. In my home: your pet is the only animal here, so there's no stress from other dogs or cats. I keep the balcony door closed, cables and small objects out of reach, and I check that everything is secure before a stay starts. Pets are never left alone for long stretches. In your home: I treat your place the way I'd want mine treated. I stick to your routine, clean up after your pet, and leave things as I found them. I'll ask about house rules, vet contacts and anything your pet is afraid of before the first day. Either way, you get daily photos and a short message. If anything seems off with your pet, you hear about it right away, not after the stay.

About: I've helped train multiple different breeds of dogs from puppies to the older ones. I have always loved being with and spending time with all different animals. I love having the animals socialize on play dates as much as the owners allow even in small doses. I believe it's good for them but I also respect any anxiety they can have. However you would like your pet to interact is how ill treat them given the chance. I have many family and friends who are in the vet field who are very open with communication with any questions I have, who I have also pet sat for, so I have resources at my disposal should they be needed. I currently work full time but different days throughout the week, generally either mornings until 4pm or evenings from mid afternoon till just before midnight. I work relatively close to the skytrain station so transit isn't an issue for me. I don't mind taking night walks if that's something their accustomed to or generally don't mind. I'm used to crate sleeping or if you allow them on furniture I don't mind cuddling the fur baby as needed. I'm firm with discipline if that's how you've trained your animal, however I can also be lenient. I'm strict on only feeding them how you've left instructions for as I'm used to begging.

About: I absolutely love animals, especially cats and dogs and I can provide your pet with as much help as it needs and more to stay happy, whilst being the happiest myself. I have had no dogs in my life but really adore them and have been asking for one for years. We've had cats pretty much my entire life and I wouldn't change it for the world, I love all my cats but I'm looking for a side job and what better than spending time with animals? I love them and getting to know their quirks is so fun and rewarding which is why I think I'd be a perfect fit for any sort of job that entails animals :) I currently work 4 days a week (2 days at home and on Saturday/Sunday nights I work at a restaurant), so I have lots of free time even on days I work and can provide 2 walks a day most days and bathroom breaks throughout the day whenever needed, I can also stay overnight too. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, I'm a very clean and respectful person and I will leave your space cleaner than you left it and keep you updated on how things are going while you're gone.

I couldn't be happier with Joey's service! She was punctual, attentive, and genuinely cared about my dog. She followed all my instructions, sent thoughtful updates with photos, and made sure Mikie was comfortable and happy. It's obvious she loves animals, and I felt completely confident leaving my pets in her care. I highly recommend Joey and will absolutely be booking her again.

I had such a great experience with Baran as a dog sitter. It was their very first time meeting, and I wasn’t even home — which can honestly be stressful — but everything went so smoothly. Charlie absolutely loved her and felt comfortable with her right away, which really says a lot. with Baran, he was relaxed and happy from the start. She is kind, trustworthy, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. It gave me so much peace of mind, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! We love u Baran🥰

We were very lucky to find Liudmila and Igor when we needed a sitter for our foster dog last minute. They were quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, they took great care of our foster dog (who is high needs) and clearly have a lot of experience with and love for dogs. We would be happy to have them care for our dog again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Rover Review for Alexis Alexis has been absolutely wonderful with my Korean Jindo, who is a nervous rescue and takes time to warm up to new people. From the very beginning, she showed so much patience, kindness, and understanding of his needs. Her gentle approach helped him feel safe and comfortable, which means the world to me. Alexis communicates clearly after every visit with thoughtful updates and pictures, so I always know how he’s doing. She’s also incredibly reliable and consistent—someone I feel completely confident trusting with my dog. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a compassionate, patient, and dependable dog walker. She’s truly been a blessing for us!

Mercedes was wonderful to work with and took great care of our pups! As a first-time user of Rover, she guided us through the process and helped answer any questions. She also took the time to visit our home and meet our dogs before our scheduled booking. While watching our two dogs, Mercedes provided pictures, videos, and updates. She even took our dogs to a trick-or-treat event at our local pet store and collected free samples for us. She has great communication and was very accommodating to our specific needs. Highly recommend!

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.

  • 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 New Westminster 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!

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.
