“Cassandra is wonderful! We knew the moment she walked through our door; she was the right person for us and our dog Wafi! We knew instantly she really would care for our boy the way we do and look out for his needs. When I get home from work I can see that he had a great day. Just enough to be fun but not past what will push his limits (he had some severe injuries from his homeland before we got him). I feel confident that she reads his energy and limitations and always has his best interests in mind and heart! We know she really cares and she is just a genuine lovely person to meet!”
“Aiden has been picking Remi up for his daily walks for the last couple of months and does an amazing job! Professional, punctual, and great with my pup. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs, as well as other pets and farm animals. I am particularly familiar with anxious, reactive dogs, and have cared for cats with medical conditions requiring daily treatment. I am currently taking courses at university and I often have morning, mid to late afternoon and evening availability. When house sitting, my classes keep me away from your pet for a maximum of 6 hours. I am happy to stay overnight, check in on your animals during the day, play with them, or take them out for walks. My first priority is always the animals in my care.
“We're not sure who loves Claire more, us or our pup, Scooby! He is a dog with reactivity issues and fear of strangers, and Claire made him so comfortable and was able to connect with him with ease. We all definitely look forward to Claire's weekly walks!”
About: 🐾 15+ years in veterinary medicine, so yes… I speak fluent Dog, Cat, Side Eye, and “I definitely did not eat that.” I’ve spent years caring for pets of every personality, from tiny tornadoes and professional troublemakers to sweet seniors who have mastered the art of the couch nap. I’m comfortable with routines, 📅🗓️medications 💊 special care needs🩺 nervous ones 🥺the spicy ones, the strong ones, the ones with a little extra personality... they’re welcome here. 🐾 big personalities 😎🤸🏾♀️ and all the wonderfully weird things that make your pet your pet. My goal is simple: keep them safe, happy, entertained, and feeling right at home. Basically, you bring the fur baby… I’ll bring the experience, patience, belly rubs, adventure, and questionable amount of enthusiasm about poop reports. 🐨🐼🐻🐷🐮🐉🐐 Hi! I’m Quetzalli (Kit-sally) 🦜 I absolutely love my name, but Birdie is the sweet little nickname somebody gave me forever ago. So you can call me Quetzalli, Birdie, or both! I’m happily answering to either one. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and important squirrel investigations. 🐿️🔍 I work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. 🩺🛟 Safety first, fun second, belly rubs always. My home is a cozy little pet headquarters where pups get plenty of supervision, fresh air, sniffari adventures, playtime, and downtime when they need it. I keep things clean, calm, and secure, and I follow each pet’s routine and personality because every dog comes with their own tiny instruction manual. 🎠🏗️
“We, and most importantly, our dog Feivel, love Brooke! She’s very communicative with us every step of the way, learned all of Feivel’s quirks, and we felt very safe and comfortable knowing that she’s taking great care of our boy as if he were her own. Detailed and informative report cards, and observant care; she even caught our guy starting to experience a medical issue before we did! We’ll miss her, and hope we can book in again soon!!”

About: Ive been passionate about dogs since I got my own at 10 years old. Over the years I've had 3 (a Poodle, Yorkie and Pomeranian) and of course all my babies were well cared for, I fed, bathe, played with them and took them for daily walks. I have experience with senior dogs, I took care of mine who was 16 years old, gave her meds and special food for her until she passed away. Ive also cared for my neighbor's dog a few times and I petsat a friend's large dog for two weeks when she was on vacation. We had a blast, playing every day and going for walks/jogging 3 to 4 times a day. I work fully remotely on a very flexible job that allows me to take breaks to go for walks in the middle of my workday! I can follow orders, let me know what will make you feel more comfortable. I am a worried dog mom that understands how hard it is to trust your baby to someone else. That's why I will try to adjust as much as possible to your needs when it comes to your home and your dog.
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.

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.

“Sonia was Iovely! She was super patient with Boo when he wasn’t stoked on going for a walk. Spent extra time with him so he got out while we were away for the day. Would totally recommend!”
“Amazing man! Came for an emergency sitting with just 1 hour notice. My dog is quite timid and doesn't take to strangers quickly. But Jouvanni had him walking on a lead without fighting far faster than any other stranger has. Will definetely be booking again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Westminster
I’m so grateful to have a dog walker I can trust with my boy. Knowing he’s getting care, attention, and time outside gives me such peace of mind. He means the world to me, and I really appreciate having someone who treats him with kindness. Thank you for looking after him so well! She is Highly recommended by us!
Allison is a great communicator. She responded quickly after we made our request and then kept the conversation going until we had worked out a schedule. We had a meet and greet before the first walk where we were able to share typical walking behaviours of our dog. Our dog is a leash puller with a pretty strong prey drive which did not deter Allison. Love that she introduced him to some new walking paths and experiences in our neighborhood. Totally love the report card and the photos after each walk.We will definitely book with Allison on the future.
Joey was wonderful! She was kind, professional, and took excellent care of my pets during her visit. I really appreciated the communication and updates. Knowing my pets were in such good hands made my time away so much less stressful. I would happily book with Joey again!
My dog Beso is very sensitive, anxious, and has a serious medical condition. As a dog mom, finding someone I completely trust isn't easy, but Gracie has been an absolute godsend. I have full confidence that Beso is in the very best hands with her. Gracie is incredibly attuned to Beso's needs and has excellent handling skills. She reinforces the training we're doing at home while making it fun and engaging for Beso. She's always on time, responds quickly to booking requests, sends thoughtful pupdates with lots of photos, and has been flawless with Beso's meals and medications. She's thorough, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely cares. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does, and the dogs love her right back - Beso never wants to leave! Thank you, Gracie, for being the BEST walker and sitter we could ask for. I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep you all to ourselves! 😂 We love you! X
I’m so grateful to Ruth for how well she takes care of my fur baby Ruby. She’s very reliable and communicative and Ruby loved her from the moment they met. She has a very sweet and caring demeanour and you can tell that she has a true love for animals. I really appreciate all the photos of Ruby she sends that give me peace of mind knowing that she is happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter/walker!
Erin is a lifesaver! She came and visited Beans twice today even with our last minute notice which was so appreciated! She did such an amazing rover card for her with details and photo updates! She is very great at handling dogs and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Jessica was lovely! She met my reactive dog a day before the scheduled walk to chat and get the keys to my apartment and I could tell that my little guy was going to be left in good hands. We talked about how she’s in the process of becoming a trainer so I was confident that she knew what she was doing with my small reactive dog. She followed the few instructions I left and provided me with adorable photos and a video of my little nugget. 10/10 recommend her and I’ll definitely be reaching out again for any future dog walking needs! Thank you again 🙏
