“Cassandra was amazing, and was able to help me out last minute with an honestly complicated routine. My cat Alex is normally very shy around strangers, but with Cassandra she was super cooperative and friendly. At our meet and greet she took careful notes to make sure every bit of the routine was correct, and was very gentle with approaching them and petting them, and even after one visit they were comfortable with her. Cassandra did a perfect job, and I would highly recommend her.”

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.

About: I have been working with animals for over ten years, including regularly volunteering at local animal rescues, such as VOKRA and the BCSPCA. I can watch cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and everything in between, but my specialty is cats and dogs. I am a high energy person who loves going on runs, and I love taking dogs with me. I often take my friend's and neighbour's dogs on hikes, and it's one of my favourite pastimes. I have been trained in pet care and animal CPR so I am confident in always ensuring your pet is healthy and safe. I work generally from home and I make my own hours, so stepping away to take care of pets is extremely easy for me. I also work in theatre consistently, but these hours are also staggered so my schedule is frequently very open. I have a three storey condo with two kitties living here. Personally I am more than happy to go to my clients home and watch their pets, both during the day and overnight to ensure they are looked after and safe. I live with two cats and my husband so I have plenty of time and ability to travel and stay in other places. I would love to meet you in person to make sure you feel safe with someone new watching your furry friend.

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.

“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 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’ve volunteered with Elderdog for over 3 years, walking and caring for multiple senior pups. My friends regularly trust me to watch their dogs while they’re away, and I grew up with both dogs and cats. I absolutely adore furry animals and give them the gentle, patient care they deserve. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time for your furry friends! I am available mostly during weekdays but can also accomodate weekends. I would follow the client's instructions and what the pet is accustomed to. For example, when prt sitting my sister's cat, I had to make sure she was taking her medicine every night with her wet food.

“Samia did such an amazing job looking after my cat whilst I was away for a few days. Knowing she has cats herself, Samia understands how to look after them, knows how to care for them, and gets their little behaviours and personalities. Samia herself is a warm and lovely person, and communication was always so great - especially receiving photos and updates each day…on top of this, also reminding me my fish needed feeding (safe to say thanks to Samia, the fish went without hunger). I will definitely be reaching out to Samia again, thank you so much for being so great 😊”

“Raissa took care of our 2 babies during a month long trip, and she was beyond excellent! She would always arrive on time for the visits and let me know how the cats were on that day, along with always sending adorable pictures. She was flexible when I needed a last minute visit and followed all my care instructions. I’m sure my boys loved her as much as me! I would rely on Raissa when I travel again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I always used to have 2 dogs at home and they always were my responsibility. My friends asked me to take care of their dogs when they were gone on holidays. Sometimes I used to go to their houses and other times I took their pets with me. I can adjust my schedule with my current job so it can fit with customer needs. I work from home a few days and that gives me more time to spend with your baby. For me are like the most wonderful thing we could have, mostly dogs for me are like real angels and I tend to treat them like royalty. I love to give them love, pet them and play with them. Also I know when a dog needs its own space and respect that.

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: What sets me apart is my ability to handle dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring gentler care. I’m attentive to each dog's behavior and body language, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure during our walks. I set my own schedules at work, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups walking needs! I have three well trained pups at home, believe me when I say that I love dogs! 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.

About: I’m originally from Colombia and have been surrounded by dogs and cats for most of my life. I have two dogs of my own back home in Colombia, a Labrador and a Pit Bull, who are a very important part of my family. Being away from them has made me appreciate even more how special the bond between people and their pets can be. Although I haven’t worked as a professional pet sitter before, I have cared for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks and keeping them company. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels, as well as cats. I can also help reinforce basic commands such as sit, stay, come, down and leave it through positive reinforcement and consistency. I’m happy to follow the training methods and routines that each owner already uses with their pet. When caring for your pet, I would treat them as if they were my own, making sure they receive all the attention, affection and care they need. I’m attentive to their routines and individual personalities, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owners. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full-time Criminology student, but I have dedicated days available for pet care. I’m available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with Sundays available upon request. I’m committed to being reliable and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and care during my availability. I’m happy to discuss specific schedules and routines with each pet parent in advance. I live in a pet-friendly building surrounded by parks and dog-friendly areas, which makes it easy to provide pets with regular walks, fresh air and exercise. My building also has a dedicated dog run where dogs can safely play and get some extra activity. I’m very mindful of each pet’s comfort and safety and will always follow their owner’s instructions, routines and specific needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, companionship or extra attention, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved and cared for.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - New Westminster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Westminster is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 4,218 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in New Westminster. About 84% 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.

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.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • 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!

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
