About: I've had a firsthand experience of raising a Labrador from puppyhood to adulthood, which taught me the patience and structure needed for high-energy breeds. I bring that same dedicated, watchful eye to every dog I sit, offering the reliable and intuitive care that only comes from years of personal pet ownership. Whether your dog needs active exercise or a steady routine, I ensure they are safe and well supported while you’re away. I can be flexible too depending on the need! I'm also available on weekends. Ideally weekdays and evenings would work the best but I can adapt as needed. I will strictly follow the instructions given to me, I'm aware that every dog is different and have their specific needs from food, walks, and daily breaks.
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.
“We booked Annelise on short notice to take care of our 2 cats. She made the entire process easy and efficient. Her communication was particularly good, which made it easy to get the updates we needed and ease our concerns. We would highly recommend her services.”
About: Hi! I am Beatrix and huge animal lover. I'm here to provide your dog with plenty of walks, sniffing and playing. I have over 20 years of experience with dogs. Me and my family have fostered many dogs from several dog rescues in Hungary and I worked 3 years in a general animal rescue in Hungary and in France. I will board a maximum 1-2 dogs at a time as I wasn't to ensure your dog gets their own 1-2-1 attention with me. I like to keep you regularly updated with pictures and videos of your doggo via WhatsApp or Messenger, as you prefer. I take them on enclosed paddock walks and runs. Your furr baby will be in safe hands with me ! :)
“Brook was very diligent when taking care of our older cat with medical needs. I appreciated her communication, the amount of pictures she sent and the long visits with Frankie. I was nervous about letting a stranger into our home and taking care of our cat, but she set me at ease. I will not hesitate to book her again!”
“Amazing with my senior golden, Bruna really knows how to work with dogs, especially those dogs with special needs like reactivity… She has attention to detail and genuine care for the dog”
“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'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.

“Yammy was very attentive and cared deeply for my cats while I was away. My senior cat has special needs and she went above and beyond to make sure it had the best care. I also had an emergency at my condo and she supported by granting access to the caretaker while I was away. She was very responsive and shared updates with pictures and videos daily. I came back home with a lovely printed picture of my cats and a Xmas card! What a warm and thoughtful touch! I would 100% rebook Yammy again! Highly recommended!”
“Dionys watched our dog, Whisky, who has separation anxiety. She did an excellent job and Whisky was really comfortable with Dionys and enjoyed snuggling on the couch and taking walks with her. We highly recommend Dionys to anyone who needs pet sitting. Dionys spent lots of time with Whisky and we really appreciate all that she did for us.”
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: Throughout my life, I've had the opportunity to live alongside many cats and dogs, each furry friend leaving a very important mark in my life. I would love to take care of your furry companions, I'll make sure they get the care they need, and I know they'll leave a mark in my life. I’m currently working part-time, my availability is usually from Tuesday to Saturday, however my schedule is pretty flexible. Please feel free to reach out for any questions! I can comfortably pet sit your four-legged friend, whether they need to be walked, fed, or simply kept company, I will make sure they get the best treatment
About: I’ve had pets all my life, and both my son and I truly enjoy their companionship. We use positive, playful training while keeping a calm, structured home with clear rules. We enjoy long walks and outdoor exercise with pets—any weather. What we provide: • Calm, safe, and structured home environment • Positive, gentle handling and basic training reinforcement • Regular walks and outdoor activity • Dedicated feeding and water area • Cleanliness, routine, and consistent care • Regular grooming and daily attention • Plenty of affection and supervision • $20 discount for new customers • Free pick-up and drop-off within 20 km of New Westminster . I walk my own pup 2–3 times a day—usually a fun game of fetch in the morning and a long, relaxing walk in the evening. I love being outdoors and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I will be glad to show you my apartment and provide you with daily photos or a video call. I am also willing to verify my identity. One important rule: I need to meet your pet beforehand in order to agree to boarding. Sometimes personalities don’t match, and some dogs are not well trained.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Westminster
Really appreciated Nasrin helping take Brandy out and spending time with her on a day I was away all day. She provided photos, a video and an update on how the visit went. Brandy is a shy girl but is really taking to Nasrin so looking forward to having her help again in the near future!
Justine has been super communicative and I feel very confident leaving Otter with her! I love the peace of mind that comes from knowing she has her dog first aid, and she is just lovely to interact with all around. Definitely plan to continue working with her!!
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!
Madeline was great with my dog Marshall! She takes the time to ask all of the right questions and meet your dog prior to her visits. You can tell she is a natural with dogs and my dog really enjoyed his walks with her. She sends updates and photos on how your dog did on their walk. Madeline is someone you can fully trust with your pet!

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.

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.
