Blake & Carly were amazing, and were able to adjust service and provide updates and feedback throughout. Needless to say, Maximus misses them already.

Kat was a lovely and trustworthy cat-sitter. Leo can be a bit of a scaredy-cat, but he warmed up to her fast. She went above and beyond, even going so far as to bring special treats and teach Leo a trick! <3 I felt totally at ease with her checking on my cat and monitoring the house while away for a whole month. Kept her appointments and sent me updates every visit.

Karina really went above and beyond when checking in on June and took away so much of my anxiety while being away. She sent a detailed update with many photos each day and it is clear that she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. This was my first time using Rover and I truly could not have asked for a better experience.

Stella was great! Came for a visit before hand and asked great questions that made me feel very comfortable. We got pictures and updates every time she visited and prompt communication when we reached out. Will definitely have Stella take care of our cat again!

About: I lived with pets since I was a baby, I love being around animals, it’s like therapy for me. I currently work as a Project Manager 100% remotely and I am not allowed to have pets in my current apartment. I take long walks during my work day and being able to interact with a dog during my walks would be the ideal scenario. I recently lost my pet bunny and I deeply miss having a pet in my daily life. If I could take your dog for a walk, be assured they will have the best time and I know how important they are in our lives and I will make sure they are very well taken care of I work from home 100% of the time. I can go for a walk with your puppy anytime! I loved taking long walks and I will make sure your fur baby has the best time. Right now I am not accepting dogs in my house, but if you need a drop in to check on your pet I will make sure to follow your instructions and ensure your baby has everything they need. Your house is your sacred space and I will respect it.

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: Hello! Currently the owner of the cutiest cat named Elli, I grew up with a dog, and 3 bunnies. I have taken care of over 12 dogs and 2 cats, and have been the go to for my friend's and family member's furry friends while on vacation. I have experience with elderly/young/anxious animals and those that needed medication. Some quick facts: - I will love your pets as my own - I love exploring new places for long walks - Jackson Galaxy is my idol I am currently working as a freelancer from home and make my own schedule, so I'm available around the clock. Anytime is play time, and extra snuggles are a must. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my cat and am currently waiting for my cat to get more socialized before taking anyone here. However, I am comfortable to do house visits (no overnight stays), and will be happy to follow any special instructions you leave.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 12. Always had dogs at home and always took care of their exercises and food routine and their not much-desired bath and hygiene needs. I had senior pets who needed medicines and extra care as well. Since 2016, I and my partner have been members of a well-known NGO in Brazil for rescue and animal welfare, so we are both knowledgeable about different cats' and dogs' behavior and needs. We rescued our cute little Simba in 2017 and he's been our best friend since then. In early 2025 we adopted Maple and he adapted greatly to our family. He is a sweet lazy boy that loves to sun bath at our balcony! Simba and Maple have always received other cats at home and welcomes then, turning always into best friends. Both me and my husband are home almost all the time and we love to spend time with the pets under our care. We also have Simba, our cat, who is super friendly. We live in an apartment on the second floor. I don't allow cats to go out, so they are always safe inside and allowed to take sun baths and fresh air in the balcony with me. I understand how important is the cat routine, so I always keep their schedules for eating and other needs. When pet-sitting in your place, I'll always be respectful of the routine and the house rules and always careful when the cat needs to stay inside. I can also take a look at your plants!

About: IG/FB:wagbites_pet for more offer! I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and currently care for two — an Australian Shepherd and a Maltipoo. I’m experienced with both big and small dogs and treat every pup like family Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I used to bring my dogs to work, and now that I work from home, I’m with them all day. I take them on trail walks every day and cook their meals myself, paying close attention to nutrition and balance. I care for pets with patience, love, and attention to their routine. At my home, pets get daily exercise, healthy meals, and lots of playtime. I keep things clean, calm, and safe. In a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and happy, just like they’re with family.

About: I grew up with a variety of animals including cats, horses and dogs. I have two dogs of my own - Cinnamon & Alfie. We love to cuddle, go for walks and adventures throughout the city. I regularly go for hikes & long walks and would love to have your dog join me. I have worked with both human and dog reactive dogs including my own dog, Cinnamon so I'm well versed in how to ensure they're safe and comfortable on walks. I have worked with a few dogs through training courses using positive reinforcement and would be happy to work with you and your best friend to continue to build their training while you're away. I'm comfortable administering medication as needed and feeding both raw and kibble foods to ensure your pet continues with their routine while you're away. I love to send regular updates & pictures to assure that you know everything that your pet is getting up to! I understand how important your pet is to you and want to make sure that both you and your dog get the best out of your time away. I'm currently taking a step back from my career in marketing and have an open schedule to take care of your pets outside of ensuring my dogs are still able to be taken care of which is why I offer drop in visits or walks but no longer offer house sitting services. I like to have a comprehensive understanding of your dogs regular routine, any allergies and what you're currently working on together so that I can continue with that training and care while you're away.

About: I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for several years, caring for pets consistently through both short visits and longer stays. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m especially patient and attentive with senior pets or animals who need a little extra care and reassurance (such as puffers and special medication). I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my flexibility, reliability, and genuine love for animals—I’m happy to work around their routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m currently working as a filmmaker, which keeps me busy with different projects throughout the year. My schedule can fluctuate depending on the stage of a production, but I also work from home quite often, which gives me a fair amount of flexibility during the day. I’m looking for something that allows me to make good use of that flexibility, while also getting me out of the house and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and in good hands.

Diane is awesome! She was so nice and caring for little Louie. She really came to the rescue after another rover person bailed multiple times. Diane went above and beyond and excited to be able to have her for Louie's puppy sitter.

About: My current dog is an anxious senior rescue-dog with a growing list of medical conditions. Loving her has taught me so much, and I hope that I can earn the trust of you and your dog just as I earned hers! My most recent pet care experience revolves around aging & disabled dogs and cats, but I've also cared for plenty of healthy & energetic adults and seniors too. I've had dogs my entire life, and I've lived with family members' & roommates' cats for most of my life too. Specific dog experience includes: -Service dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with anxiety, dogs with significant medical conditions, seniors, puppies, healthy adults. -Breeds: Formosan Mountain Dogs, Shepherd-husky mixes, Labs, Scotties, Westies, and mixed breeds. I work as an RMT, mostly on weekday afternoons and evenings. I'm available 9am-12pm on Thursday and Friday, and often all day on Wednesdays. I am sometimes available for weekends as well. My dog and I live in an apartment building. We take a few walks per day and make sure to do enriching activities and play time. When I pet sit at the owner's home (such as on of my friends or family members), I follow their instructions and keep their pet company as if they were my own.

About: I can walk them, play with them, and give them the company and presence they may need when they have separation anxiety, or just really miss you. My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I can look after your fur baby's almost anytime on the weekdays. Weekends are rare but can be discussed~ I would like to understand you and your cat as much as I can to give them the proper attention. I would also log snippits off their day so you never miss a moment~ and I'm very respectful of other people's space.

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.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - New Westminster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New Westminster on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 4,179 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in New Westminster. About 85% of New Westminster 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a New Westminster stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

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.

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.
