“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!”
“Our second time having Amanda care for our two cats went perfectly! We loved the thorough update + cat photos detailing her drop-in visit and greatly appreciated Amanda's expertise in administering pet medication as one of our cats has required pills both times we've been out of town. Both of our temperamental fur babies have taken to Amanda so quickly and my partner and I couldn't be happier! 🥳”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Phatthawipha was great! She was friendly, always on time, and extremely reliable. She did a great job while we were on vacation and I will definitely use her again if we go away in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Justine took great care of my cat Gus over the long weekend. She sent me updates and photos after every visit. It made me happy to be away knowing Gus was being well cared for. I highly recommend Justine!”
“Blake and Carly did an absolute wonderful job. Our 2 kittens were taking care of for 8 days. Water changed. Feed and litter boxes done daily. Awsome cat updates and highly recommend for our next trip. Our cats were well taken care of. Thank you both”
“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!”
“Jessica was trustworthy and took good care to feed my cats on time and play with them. However, one of my cats’ litter box wasn’t cleaned in what looked like 2-3 days at least. Despite having discussed that it was to be done daily. Luckily my cat is fine but this was a hygiene and safety issue that could’ve made her sick and stressed. Overall a good experience but this litter issue was not acceptable.”
“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.”
“I must say Melissa and her daughter sienna did a wonderful Job watching my pet rabbit waffles! During our first meeting before my trip, Melissa asked all the right questions to ensure waffles was well taken care of. She always answered her phone if I had any concerns, and sent us lovely photos of my waffles while we were away. Would highly recommend her and am definitely booking with her 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.
“Jody cared for my three cats so well when I was away. I needed someone urgently due to a family emergency and she was efficient in responding and helpful in getting everything arranged to come meet me and learn my cats' routines. My kitties were brushed and cuddled daily. My place was left spotless. Jody went above and beyond.”
“Sheila was a wonderful sitter for our cat Kiki! We appreciated her attention to detail and her dedication to providing personalized care for Kiki. We also really loved the photos and videos she sent each day. She was very responsive to messages and was quick to inform us of any concerns. Her and Kiki had great rapport by the end of our booking :) We would highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with 20 dogs and 3 cats. I currently have a cat and special needs dog. I love animals. I am more of a pet person than people person. I’m a full-time student looking for work. I am available everyday because i only have classes on Wednesdays. I am also flexible and on-call. I can give baths. I can go to the clients’ house because I do not have the space. My cat also does not like new people. I love meeting new pets!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10, when my father took home a puppy rottweiler. I live with my family who love pets as well, but we do not have one of our own. We are able to feed and walk dogs. We lived for 8 months with a dog whose mommy went visit her home country. We treat her and love her as our own, just until her mom came back. I am currently a stay-home mother. So, I am always in the neighborhood, which is very convenient to go for a walk at almost any time and take care of your dog. I can not able to care for pets at home, but I am willing to pick your dog for a walk or to pay a visit and provide food and company while you are away.
“Sichen took amazing care of Jasper while we were away. It was clear he loved her visits, and it gave us so much peace of mind being able to communicate easily and see all the photos and videos she shared. Thank you so much Sichen!”
About: Hi my name is Leah I am 25 years old. I took a few years break from rover however I am looking for some part time work while I’m on summer break as a teacher. I absolutely love both cats and dogs so this is the perfect job for me. I’m also a people person as well, so I cannot wait to meet so many friendly people such as you! I have owned multiple cats in the past and one beautiful dog. I currently have two cats named Mars Bar and Poptart! I know how to do the work everyone loves when looking after pets such as giving them love and attention, but I also know how to do the dirty work such as cleaning up accidents and changing the litter. Would love to help some of you out by taking care of your fur babies when needed :) I am currently on summer break as I am a teacher on call from September to June! My schedule is very flexible and most mornings / afternoons are free. I always try to present myself as a calm presence when meeting new animals. I let them come to me and sniff me out until they show me they are ready for some pets!

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.

Justine took excellent care of my two cats while I was away and provided daily updates with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of my cats is diabetic and can be quite difficult when it comes to insulin injections, but Justine was incredibly patient and persistent. She never gave up, and eventually both cats warmed up to her, which was such a relief. I missed my cats so much during my vacation, but knowing they were in such caring and capable hands made it much easier to relax. I truly appreciated Justine’s professionalism, compassion, and dedication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
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.
Ching Yan took GREAT care of both Maya and Tubby, kept them entertained, well fed and well cared fall. I came home to see 2 very happy little guys. She also maintained the home spotless and clean, while helping me tending to the small things so that the kitties can stay in the most comfortable environment. Ching Yan is also super communicative, kept me updated with her visits and cute videos of the kitties. Her love for the animals is unquestionable. I highly recommend Ching Yan as your pet's care taker.
Phatthawipha was incredible when she took care of my cats. She made sure to follow the directions I left perfectly and was always prompt and on time with her daily check-in updates and sharing photos and video clips to show my cats were doing well and comfortable with their routine. She is very kind and respectful and I would definitely hire her again to take care of my pets :)
Stella is extremely trustworthy. I needed help with my cat's insulin injections while I was working night shifts, and she really eased my mind. Taking care of a diabetic cat isn't easy, but Stella is patient, caring, and communicates really well. I felt comfortable leaving my cat in her hands and truly appreciated all her help. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Westminster on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,436 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
