About: I have always loved animals ever since I can remember! Growing up, there were always animals in the house! I knew that I wanted to pursue a career where I could work with and help animals every day, which is why I decided to enroll in the veterinary assistant program right after I graduated high school. I worked as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary hospital for about a year and a half until I decided to further my education and responsibilities in the veterinary industry and become a Registered Veterinary Technician. In 2020, I was accepted to both Douglas College and Thompson Rivers University's "Veterinary Technology" program. I ultimately decided to attend Douglas College so I could stay in the city. I graduated from the "Veterinary Technology" program in 2022 and passed my national board exam shortly after. I am currently a Registered Veterinary Technician working full-time at a veterinary hospital in Vancouver, and I love it! I have been in the veterinary industry since 2019 and would not change it for the world. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have vast knowledge of medical care and procedures, puppy and senior care, animal handling, and more. I also have a sweet senior pup named Skylar, who I have had the pleasure of having in my life for almost 14 years now! I am currently working full-time at a veterinary hospital in Vancouver but am typically off on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I would love to make your pet's life part of my weekly routine! Safety is my number 1 priority. I will always proceed at your pets pace and would never do something your pet isn't comfortable with. I work in a certified fear free veterinary hospital where creating a stress-free environment is incredibly important to me.

“Nicole was so fantastic with my kitties! She sends a detailed description of her visit along with photos/videos after each visit, and it was so reassuring to know how my kitties were doing while I was away. She even taught my kitten how to "sit" - I had no idea he could do that, so now that's a fun skill we are working on! She gave both kitties lots of attention and got to know their personalities. She also went above and beyond - offering to water the plants and asking where the broom/vacuum were to clean up some stray litter the cats had tracked near the litter box. I highly recommend Nicole as she is a conscientious and caring pet sitting and I will definitely be booking her again!”


“Alexis communicated well and our puppy loved spending time with her. She was easy to schedule with and very flexible. It helps to know that someone who cares is coming for our puppy visits. We would book Alexis again!”

“Ashely was wonderful! We left a ton of instructions for our need cat and she did such a great job listening and following, but also adapting where needed. We would recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a cat sitter!”


About: I've been caring for multiple dogs and cats for my entire life! Currently I have 3 cats of my own they are the light of my life and I miss having daily dog interactions so much! I would love to visit, play with, walk, and love your dog(s) and cat(s). I also have experience caring for rodents such as guinea pigs and rabbits, as well as professional experience caring for fish and snakes. I have lots of availability right now as I wait for school to start again in the fall!! I currently have nothing but time to offer the pets in my life. Because my small apartment is already full of 3 cats with big personalities, I don't currently have the option to bring your pet into my home. However I am happy to come to you for visits, walks, and homestays! I will always respect your space by heeding directions and leaving it as I found it.

“Really appreciated Michelle coming to do a drop in visit for Milo. Communication was perfect and really put me at ease. Could tell that Michelle really was a pet person/dog lover. Would definitely use again for future services.”


About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with personal experience raising two dogs from puppyhood—both of whom started off with timid, anxious personalities. Because of that, I’ve developed a calm, patient approach that helps nervous or shy dogs feel safe and at ease, especially around new people. I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands like sit, stay, and recall, as well as fun tricks like “paw,” “lay down,” “up,” and “turn around.” I also have plenty of experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. Caring for my own dog Winston—who recently developed both seasonal and food allergies—has taught me how important it is to pay attention to special needs, whether it’s diet, medication, or extra TLC. I’ll always treat your fur baby like my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. You can also count on regular photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I'm currently working from home and can do drop ins any time during the week from 11am-3pm, 7pm- 10pm, and any time during weekends. Also I am available to house sit on week days from 7pm to over night until the next day at 8am, any time on weekends. For more scheduling, please DM me and we can find a schedule that works for you! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on creating a calm, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. I always take time to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to. This helps reduce anxiety and keeps things predictable while you're away. I take safety seriously—whether it's securing doors and gates, keeping an eye on their behavior, or making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I’ll keep your home tidy, treat it with respect, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m especially mindful with shy, anxious, or senior pets and always move at their pace. My goal is to build trust with both you and your fur baby from the very start.

“I honestly can’t say enough about Nasrin’s kindness, sweetness, and gentle care for my cat, Lillian. She’s an absolutely wonderful person—I would happily leave Lillian with Nasrin again and travel around the world knowing that an angel is watching over her with so much love and attention. This was a last-minute request, and Nasrin turned it into a beautiful experience and a lovely new friendship. ❤️ 100% responsible and reliable person 100% recommended You’re amazing, Nasrin! 😻 Thank you 🙏”


About: I have loved taking care of animals ever since I was a child. I grew up with two dogs, and they sparked my passion for animal care from an early age.

Being able to support animals in this unique environment is incredibly rewarding, and I am committed to treating every animal with kindness, patience, and the same love I’ve always had for my own pets. I’m currently studying and working part-time in Vancouver. I have plenty of spare time for taking care of your family. Availability is depends on the week and days. I offer both dog walking and overnight stays, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of playtime and attention, and tailor care to their individual needs. Whether at my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family.

About: I have been a cat mom for many years. I have experience in taking care of senior cats and those with limited abilities. I also have experience walking dogs and helping those with anxiety! I am often available during the weekends and holidays. My weekdays can vary depending on my schedule but I can always work around my schedule to make a kitty or puppy happy! I don't provide services in my house but for the clients houses, I would appreciate to have a list of care instructions, allergies, medicines and safety information.

About: I have a background in veterinary medicine, so I am qualified to administer medication to your pet if necessary. I am a freelance writer, which allows me to manage my time effectively. I am available to take care of your pets on weekdays and weekends. The reviews on my profile were written by people whose pets I have cared for through TrustedHouseSitters. In every review, you will find detailed descriptions of their pets' behavior. I can provide these details because I take the time to get to know the pets! I don't just want to feed them; I want to play with them and spend time with them! Additionally, the reviews about me often mention words like 'spotless' and 'immaculate' when owners describe how I left their homes.

About: I have taken in a number of pets from the streets and taken care of them as I've watched them grow in find it really fulfilling and fun to be with them hoping to care for your pets the same way and give back to them for being our emotional support animals I like to take regulars walks so walking pets will be a perfect reason to enjoy a refreshing walk for both of us which with smoothly enter my routine and as I relax I like to play with them so I can give them enough time I would play with them, feed them when they're hungry and take them outside to enjoy their natural environment as they excuse themselves to pee or poo

About: I’ve had various pets throughout my life and truly enjoy the companionship they bring. I love training animals in a playful and positive way, while keeping a calm and structured home environment with clear rules. I enjoy long walks and exercising with pets outdoors—rain or shine! Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a dedicated spot for meals and water, regular grooming, and lots of love and care. Cleanliness and routine are important to me, and I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and at home. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! 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: Hello! I'm a dog mom to Nala, a 6-year-old rescued Formosan Mountain Dog mix from Taiwan and Jujube, a 3-year-old Jindo mix from South Korea. Caring for my first dog, Nala, has taught me a lot about patience, love, and consistent positive reinforcement training—thanks to her nervous nature from being an ex-street pup. As a work-from-home dog mom with a flexible schedule, Nala, Jujube, and I (and my partner!) would be the perfect companions to other pups (regardless of age). Nala and Jujube love other dogs and are great at reading doggy language. *Although Nala and Jujube are gentle and generally great with other dogs, I never take in a dog without a meet-and-greet to ensure doggos and hoomans are a good fit.* As a full-time work-from-home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule and will take your doggo out for regular walks and potty breaks. My 2 dogs are my trusty companions who’re always down for a good snuggle or a romp in the park. I live in a secure condo building with lots of nearby parks and forest trails. My place has lots of room for lounging and playing too!

“I was feeling very nervous about leaving my cat alone with a stranger to check up on him whole I was gone. However, my cat instantly warmed up to Robtn who took the time to care for him well. I really appreciated her detailed reports after each visit which made me feel more at ease about leaving him alone. I would definitely hire Robyn again.”

I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands.

Thank you for taking such great care of my furry friend!”


Carissa T.
“Carissa is a wonderful dog mom and a dear friend. We have been close for years and I have always admired her patience and intuition with dogs. Her wonderful Formosan, Nala, has some anxiety challenges, which makes Carissa that much more understanding and skillful with other dogs with similar challenges. I trust her 100% and know that our corgi Ole is in great hands when spending time with Carissa. We cannot keep up with all the new things she is teaching Nala... I think she can help any dog reach their greatest potential.”

New Westminster pet parents share their Rover experiences
As a first time user on this platform I felt wary. Like any anxious pet parent I was hesitant to let a stranger watch over my furry friend. I am more than relieved to have met Erin. To her, this is not just a job, but a passion. Anyone can show up and clean a litter box- but Erin does a phenomenal job at showing up. I can guarantee that she is reliable. She showed up, gave my kitty medicine, kept him company - sometimes longer than necessary so he became more comfortable around her, and did routine maintenance. I received pictures and notes. Communication is easy. Thank you Erin for taking care of my best friend :)

Grace was a fantastic sitter for my cat, Waffle! She sent tons of videos and pictures and clearly gave Waffle lots of love. She was lovely to communicate with and gave excellent updates that put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book her again and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

We have rebooked Madeline multiple times and we are so impressed with how much our normally very timid cats have opened up to her. She is always reliable, sends excellent rover card updates and photos, and spends quality time with our cats every visit. Thank you, Madeline!

Alina was great. She took the job on short notice, was here on time for every appointment, sent great feedback and Mo clearly liked her. I came home to clean boxes, full water dishes, and a well looked after cat. I'll definitely seek her out the next time I need stop in care for my cat.
