About: Elizabeth - Having cared for various neighborhood dogs since childhood, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog-sitting services. My beloved chocolate lab lived a long and joyful life, which has given me valuable insight into the unique needs of senior dogs. Joao - Growing up in Portugal, I've had a lot of pets in my lifetime including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, chinchillas, hedgehogs and fish. I especially love dogs. I trained my current dog to sit and lie down using hand signals without any professional help. Recently, we've expanded our services to include dog-sitting in the comfort of our neighbors’ homes. Your furry friends will receive love, companionship, and professional care while you’re away. We are completely smoke-free and will keep your home just how you left it. We look forward to providing a safe and happy environment for your pets :) Elizabeth - As I work online, I’m always present and attentive to the dogs/cats in my care. Joao - Currently I'm not working, as I've just arrived in Canada from Portugal with a Working Holiday visa. I'm around to fit into the pet's usual schedule. We can administer medication and tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each dog/cat. We maintain the pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. We love to spend quality time with our new furry friends and provide regular updates to the owner through texts or photos, keeping them informed about how their pet is doing.

“Scott is amazing. Opie absolutely loves him and has become much more relaxed. I am sure it is because he feels safe with Scott. He is a huge dog but at heart he is a coward. I would recommend Scott to anyone, Opie and I couldn't be happier!”


“This is the third time that Aly has taken care of our dog and we can’t be more happy. We are from out of town and my dog remembers Aly and is excited to see her. He comes back tired from having so much fun. Aly is completely reliable and a fun easy communicator. She even sends pictures proving that Cosmo is enjoying himself. Will use Aly’s services next time for sure!””


“LAURA'S LOVE FOR ANIMALS AND HUMAN KINDNESS IS MORE THAN APPARENT. MY DOG ADORES HER! ACCORDING TO THE UPDATE PHOTOS AND THE BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE, HE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME :) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY SERVICE”


About: I have had 4-legged animals for most of my life. I also know CPR for Animals and I am certified and have a Nursing Background. . . I am currently retired. I have had dogs and cats almost my entire life. I have a nursing background and I’ve also taken CPR for dogs and cats. I love animals and now that I have more time off I find myself looking after my friends and neighbour's dogs. Up until just a few weeks ago when I lost my little girl… I find I have way too much time on my hands and really miss four-legged companions. Warning… I will treat your babies like I treat my own. They will be loved, pampered and cared for. I will respect your wishes if there are certain things you don’t want them to have or if you’re trying to train them I will follow your instructions on what you want for them. But I hope you’re not going to mind when I spoil them just a little bit. I was also involved in the SPCA in the lower mainland and help them out when they needed someone. I have a fenced yard. I’m not too far from Mutrie Park. Depending on the Pet parents whether they would like me to come to them or if they’re fine with them staying with me. When they’re here, they have full range of the house which is pet proof….

About: Hello ! My name is Kathleen, I'm 35years old and would love to give you a hand with your pets. I absolutely love dogs. I used to have 5 huskey's growing up living at my moms house. I have a 4 year old chocolate lab and I also look after my mom's dog whenever she travels. I am a morning person so I wouldn't have a problem with waking up early to walk your dog. I would love to help out busy dog owners and your dog will be taken good care of. I hope to hear from you. Thank you ! I have a lot of free time at the moment so I can be flexible! I wake up pretty early and I am available week days and week-ends! While I don’t have a fenced yard, I always supervise outdoor play closely and make sure pets stay safe. I take dogs on at least three walks a day and love going to the nearby dog park for exercise and social time. Your dog will be well cared for and never left unattended outside.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and since I became an adult, I have provided pet sitting services for many friends and coworkers. I can provide a long list of references, including both a veterinarian and a vet tech. I work a flexible job that allows me to work from my home or yours. I can take breaks as needed to ensure your pet gets frequent pee breaks, and lots of snuggles and playtime (if that’s their thing, I’d also love it if they just want to chill out and watch me type away at my laptop). Pets are good company! I am not able to care for pets in my own home at this time, so I will come to you! I am a vigilant and reliable caretaker.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. I grew up always with many animals in the house and have been dog & cat sitting and walking for family and friends for many years, and now on rover since 2022. I have experience administering medications to dogs & cats (except for by needle) and am Pet First Aid certified. I have also taken a beginner dog obedience/training course and have volunteer experience with large amounts of dogs in an animal rescue/refuge center. I was recently a student using rover to make some money while away at school and while missing my dogs at home, and now am a (partially) self-employed permaculture farmer and educator, and my love of dogs allows me to happily use rover on the side for additional income. I have always lived with pets as members of the family, and I continue to see them as such to this day. If you trust me with your pet they will be in the hands of someone who gives them upmost care, attention, and love.

About: Over the last 15 years, I have encountered many different pet sitting and caring experiences, ranging from just spending time with animals, to saving their life. All of which was rewarding in its own way. I have helped with 2 litters of puppies from the moment the mother gave birth up to the adoption process as well and training. I have experience with special need animals as well. I grew up on land and was expose to caring for a wide range of animals, most of which are found on a farm. Everyone I have ever been employed by for looking after their animals and homes has asked me back for more services. I do my best to go above and beyond and to care for your pet as if it were my own.

Elizabeth B.
“Liz is a fantastic dog sitter! She has been my go-to for years to take care of our beloved dogs Riley and Ruby. Riley and Ruby are both rescues and have some behavioral issues and health concerns. I never worry about them when left in Liz' hands! She is great at communicating and very responsible; we often will have her stay at our place with the dogs. She truly loves animals and takes great care when handling them.”


Anika G.
“Wow omg, Anika was truly a gift sent from above. She has been caring for my pets on an ongoing basis as my social life often takes me out of the house for a few days to a week at a time and I can always rest easy knowing my precious angels are safe, happy and cuddled at home. My 10 year old french bulldog Garçon has extremely special needs - a very specific diet, multiple different pills throughout the day, special medicated shampoo baths, he snores and dawdles terribly on walks. Anika cared for him with patience, attention and love. She even took him to his favourite beach! I also have a very nice little cat who she took wonderful care of as well. I couldn’t recommend Anika highly enough.”

Cherish A.
“I highly recommend Cherish as a pet caregiver. When she has watched my dogs she has treated them as if they were her own, providing them with the utmost care and attention. She goes on hikes and walks multiple times a day, plays, and gives all the pets and snuggles. Everytime my pups see her they get so excited! Also thanks to her dedication of positive reinforcement training and calm demeanour, her time with my dogs has made a big difference on their behaviour at home too which has been awesome!!!! If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like family, look no further she is literally the best 10/10!”


Megan C.
“Megan is a extreme dog lover. Whenever there is an animal that passes on the street, she has to pet it no matter what! There is a glow inside her when she talks about animals. She cared for her elderly cat In such ways that no human could ever do. She will treat your pet with dignity and respect and will absolutely not let your pet ruin the house.”
