“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Jody is FABULOUS! If you have a cat, you want Jody taking care of them. It's such a relief to travel and know my boy is with someone I trust who treats him like the princess he is. Jody always sends great photos and thorough updates. Will be using her for the rest of time”
“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! 🥳”

“Cassandra was amazing in taken care of Bonnie! She arrived on time and gave her enough love to make her feel comfortable during my absence. I already booked her for my next trip, can not thank you enough!”
“Karina looked after my cat Simon. She was very good at communicating with me, and made sure to message me when needed. I recieved lots of pictures of Simon, and he seemed happy in the pictures when she spent some time with him at my place.”
About: I've grown up with a dog and helped take care of it such as baths, walks and medication. I recently adopted a senior rescue and have experience caring for a reactive dog, including continuous work on leash reactivity. I'm a cautious walker and pay attention to a dog's needs and environment. I'm currently in-between jobs so have plenty of time during the day to spend time and play with your pups. I'm looking to utilize my free time to do what I enjoy :) I live in a pet-friendly apartment building and have a senior rescue dog, that can get comfortable with other dogs. I can crate your dog as needed and tend to all their needs. I live with my partner who can also assist me in caring for your dog.
“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.”
“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: I've had a few years of dog walking experience and looking after other peoples pets. I've also always had a dog in my life since I can remember, and the total is around 14. I have learned how to communicate and do my best to understand a dogs needs. I am also very patient and will not resort to physical correctional behavior. I am in between work as I am a contract worker. Anytime i have some down time I would be more than willing to help look after someone's pets. My yard is fenced in and I do have two pets of my own (A corgi and a shiba). I will be sure to let the pet rest as needed and then take them for a walk to a nearby dog park. If they cannot be off lease then I will take them for an hour-long walk around the area. If it is raining I tend to focus mostly on the potty-break and then I will take them home and play with toys.
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 animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. From tiny tornadoes and professional troublemakers to sweet seniors who've mastered the fine art of couch potato living. 🥔🛋️ I'm comfortable with all the little things (and big things!) that make your pet unique: 💊 Medications & special care needs 🩺 Medical conditions & senior pets 📅 Daily routines & feeding schedules 🥺 Nervous, shy & sensitive souls 🌶️ Spicy personalities & professional side-eye givers 💪 Big, strong, energetic adventurers 😎 Couch potatoes, cuddle monsters & certified weirdos Around here, we don't judge the weird. We celebrate it! 🐾 My goal is simple: keep your fur baby safe, happy, loved, entertained, and feeling right at home while you're away. And yes, there's a resident kitty named Bubba 🐨 who supervises the Pawty House from a comfortable distance. He's sweet, independent, and very committed to minding his own business. ❤️I've only been on Rover since September, but I've already had the absolute pleasure of meeting some incredible animals and their wonderful humans. Every little personality has made this adventure even more special! ❤️ You bring the fur baby… I'll bring 15+ years of experience, patience, belly rubs, adventures, plenty of love, and don’t be surprised if your vacation comes with a daily dose of photo bombs! 🐾 Ready to join the Pawty House crew? Send me a message! I'd love to meet your little weirdo! 🐶🐱💕 🐨🐼🐻🐷🐮🐉🐐 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.

“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”
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.
“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: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. I also have experience caring for pets with special needs. Two of my family dogs were diabetic, so I'm familiar with maintaining consistent routines, monitoring their well-being, and understanding the importance of following care instructions carefully. I've also cared for a cat with digestive issues, ensuring they received the proper food and routine to keep them comfortable and healthy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule allows me to adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening cuddles, or overnight care. I'm an early riser as well. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks and playtime, lots of affection, and I'm happy to administer medications or follow specific feeding routines if needed. Having cared for diabetic dogs and a cat with digestive issues, I understand the importance of consistency and paying close attention to a pet's health and behavior.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in New Westminster is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Westminster
Jen did an A1 job with Trooper. She was there everyday and looked in him. She emptied the Litter box, gave him new food and fresh water. It took a few days for Trooper to come out to see her but once he decided to come out they made great friends together. She sent some nice videos and photos of my little fellow. I have. never left him alone before and I don't go away too often so having her there to look after Trooper and look in on my home every day that I was gone was a godsend. I saw that she had many return bookings and I can see why. I will definitely try to book her again if I have to go away. Trooper likes her too and says hello. Thank you so much for helping us. All the best. Do hire her, you won't be disappointed!
Hayoung provided amazing drop-in service for my pet! She followed all the instructions thoroughly and sent me regular photo and video updates. Seeing how well my pet was cared for gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking her service again in the future!
Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my Nellie. You can tell from the moment she meets your cat that she is a true professional. She clearly knows how to care for cats and was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She even came back to drop off the keys after I returned, so she could keep them in case my flight was delayed. I would definitely book her again the next time I'm away.
Sheila took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the booking. She was also incredibly flexible when my trip was unexpectedly extended, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’d happily book her again—highly recommend!
We were really grateful Jouvanni took our request at such short notice, and he did an excellent job taking care of our two cats for a week. I had left an essay's worth of instructions and where is what and he took it with grace and seemed to have no (or very little) issue finding things. Our boys were a little shy during the meet and greet but seemed to warm up to him quickly and enact their usual shenanigans during the week! Our building also has some rules around bikes, parking and guest etiquette and there were no issues on that end either! We will definitely keep Jouvanni in mind the next time we are away.
This was our first time leaving our cat alone for a vacation with a pet sitter so we were initially anxious, but we had a great experience with Erin! She was communicative, clear, and followed all our instructions very well. She did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, who seems to really like her. She was also very clean and respectful of our home, leaving everything tidy and did not leave any mess behind. Knowing that our cat was well cared for made being away much easier. We also really appreciated the daily photos and updates. :) Thank you so much!
We were so glad we chose Stella to care for our cat while we were on vacation. She truly went above and beyond, sending us regular pictures and videos and giving us peace of mind that he was well cared for. It was clear from the updates that our cat was happy and comfortable in her care. Stella is very trustworthy and responsive, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Highly recommended!
Another great Rover experience with Justine, she did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away. I felt confident that they were safe and happy during her visits. I appreciate her reliability and good communication. I definitely recommend booking her to take care of your pets.
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.

There are 4,443 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 to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
