“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! 🥳”

“Stella was great! Came for a visit before hand and asked great questions that made me feel very comfortable. We got pictures and updates every time she visited and prompt communication when we reached out. Will definitely have Stella take care of our cat 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!”

“I think this is our third time with Phatthawipha; our cats always seem really content after visits. She is really nice to work with, takes the best photos, and gives the best pets. I definitely recommend booking with her. 🐱🐱”

“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 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 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: My current dog is an anxious senior rescue-dog with a growing list of medical conditions. Loving her has taught me so much, and I hope that I can earn the trust of you and your dog just as I earned hers! My most recent pet care experience revolves around aging & disabled dogs and cats, but I've also cared for plenty of healthy & energetic adults and seniors too. I've had dogs my entire life, and I've lived with family members' & roommates' cats for most of my life too. Specific dog experience includes: -Service dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with anxiety, dogs with significant medical conditions, seniors, puppies, healthy adults. -Breeds: Formosan Mountain Dogs, Shepherd-husky mixes, Labs, Scotties, Westies, and mixed breeds. I work as an RMT, mostly on weekday afternoons and evenings. I'm available 9am-12pm on Thursday and Friday, and often all day on Wednesdays. I am sometimes available for weekends as well. My dog and I live in an apartment building. We take a few walks per day and make sure to do enriching activities and play time. When I pet sit at the owner's home (such as on of my friends or family members), I follow their instructions and keep their pet company as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for several years, caring for pets consistently through both short visits and longer stays. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m especially patient and attentive with senior pets or animals who need a little extra care and reassurance (such as puffers and special medication). I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my flexibility, reliability, and genuine love for animals—I’m happy to work around their routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m currently working as a filmmaker, which keeps me busy with different projects throughout the year. My schedule can fluctuate depending on the stage of a production, but I also work from home quite often, which gives me a fair amount of flexibility during the day. I’m looking for something that allows me to make good use of that flexibility, while also getting me out of the house and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and in good hands.
“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.”

About: Some of my earliest experiences with dogs apart from my own puppers, were as a child and into my teens my dad trained Guard/Security dogs. So the house was always filled with dogs newly being trained. Currently the only dogs in my life are my moms specially trained service dog that can detect MS attacks and my Boy Achilles who will soon be working with me to train other dogs for basic obedience. I also cared for my 19 year old cat named Tigger who now lives with my Grandparents. Tigger while in my care needed regular oral medication along side continual and constant monitoring of day to day activity. My schedule is open 7 days a week from 6:00-22:00 for Drop ins and Walks. Private sessions must be scheduled in advance. Group Hikes are not yet scheduled When in my care, I treat every dog and cat as my own. Similarly I respect your home by ensuring clean up of your dog or cat. No muddy paws on your sofa or wet dogs running through your house I am available for Drop-in visits and Walks from 6am to 10pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. 9am to 5pm Sundays. Outside hours service can be requested with advanced notice. I care for each Dog and Cat as my own and ensure the safety of your pets as much as I ensure their enjoyment and comfortablilty in my home or yours!
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have also had the opportunity to work in animal welfare in the past, so you can rest assured that your dog is in good hands. I have plenty of experience handling dogs of any age, including those with specialized care requirements. Whether you have a dog who enjoys adventure, car rides, or the comforts of home, I'm happy to accomodate the specific needs of your pet. Previously, I worked for 18 years in healthcare, so in the absolutely rare event of an emergency, you can count on me to remain calm and act quickly. At this time I am available all days of the week and can devote as much care and attention to your dog as needed. I work online occasionally, but no longer than 4 hours a day, and no more than 2 days per week. While in my care, the majority of my time will be structured around caring for your dog(s). My goal is to continue the routines that exist in your dogs lives to ensure that they are comfortable and secure, as if you never left. I do not hit or strike; learning opportunities are handled through positive reinforcement (if you allow), and a leash will always be used when leaving the home.
“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!”

“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.”

“Sichen and Shiqing took excellent care of our cats while we were away. We travel rarely and miss our kitties dearly while away, but we were grateful to know that they were being well taken care. Our cats can be quite timid and hide from others, but I was pleased to see pictures of them and saw that they each came out in their own time while we were away. We will definitely have Sichen and Shiqing take care of Sid and Callie again.”

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Westminster
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.
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.

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.
