I was very nervous leaving our senior dog with our son for two weeks but Dorsa was amazing. She came in twice a day to visit and walk Lulu. We came home to a happy dog. Would highly recommend her!

Feena gave us so much peace of mind while we were away because she has prior experience with animals. We needed someone to come in and help our elderly kitty with her sub-q fluids and Feena did this and also sent us lots of photos which was so nice! We’ll definitely hire her again!

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets while you’re gone. I recently moved to the Vancouver area and have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly including medications, feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. Additionally, I live at home with my boyfriend who will often accompany me walking dogs and will of course be there during boarding (so between the two of us your pet is getting lots of love and attention!!) I have flexible availability daily for drop in visits, walks, and pet sitting. We can discuss your routine and I'm sure I can make it work. Pets are welcome in my home for short term stays. I do not have a yard so dogs will be taken on walks (on leash). If I am familiar with your dog and they are well trained for off leash, I'm happy to take them to a dog park for additional play and exercise.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover from the UK currently traveling around Canada. I’ve had dogs in my home all my life and have spent the last 7 years dog sitting for a wide range of breeds from energetic dogs who need long, adventurous walks, to older dogs who just enjoy a gentle stroll and relaxing in the park. I’ve also trained my own dog and a friends so I’m comfortable reinforcing commands. Being around dogs is something i miss while traveling, so I’d love the chance to help care for yours as if they were my own. I’m not working so I will be able to follow any routine the dog or animal has. I love to go on long walks so will happily take the dog out for as long as you recommend I am constantly aware of the animals in my care and keep an eye on them whether it’s in the garden at the park or in the house. This also mean I will follow any rules that the owner has set out

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog, a Yorkie Terrier, when I was 15, and I cared for him like he was my own child. He taught me so much about responsibility, patience, and unconditional love. Now I have a 4-month-old Westie Terrier, and I give him the same love and attention every day. I know how important it is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved — just like family. That’s exactly how I’ll care for yours too. 🐾 I work from home as a freelance web developer, so my schedule is very flexible. I spend most of my time at home, which means I have plenty of time to play with the dogs, take them for walks, and give them all the attention they need. Pets are never left alone for long — they’re part of my daily routine. I have a sweet dog at home who will be a great companion for your pup,, they’ll never feel lonely! My apartment has a secure, fenced patio where dogs can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. I also live in a very pet-friendly area with lots of green spaces and safe walking paths, perfect for daily walks and playtime. Your dog will feel right at home here, cared for and loved as part of the family.

About: My family and I are owners to a three year old big lab/mastiff cross who although is a gentle giant, can also get a bit crazy so if I can handle him I think I can handle anything. I’ve had a dog my whole life and I can’t imagine life without one. I have lots of experience dog sitting with both small and big dogs and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending my days with them. When I am hanging out with the dogs I want them to feel totally at ease while keeping to their normal habits and routine, whether that be their normal walks, play time or snuggling. While you’re away from your pets they are missing you so I like to give them love and comfort while you’re gone.

Leigh does an excellent job caring for my cat, Mango. He likes her, and when I return from my trips, he's always happy, relaxed, and purring immediately. There are never any signs of stress, which shows how well she's cared for him. Leigh is reliable, caring, trustworthy and professional, and I highly recommend her!

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.

Karla did a fantastic job taking care of my cat. She went above and beyond to make sure he stayed cool during a heatwave. My cat is also highly anxious and fearful; she was very patient with him and made sure he was still drinking enough water and eating. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my scaredy cat Griffin was well taken care of. She sent photos and updates everyday which I appreciated and even vacuumed up some kibble which wasn’t expected but was lovely! I came home to a tidy space and a well taken care of cat. I will absolutely book her again in the future.

Alina took wonderful care of my cat, Charlie, while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and kind, and she kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos that truly put my mind at ease. It meant so much to know Charlie was in such caring hands. When I came home, she was calm, happy, and clearly very well looked after. Alina was easy to communicate with, respectful of my home, and genuinely caring with my cat. Her attentiveness and warmth made all the difference, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back, and I’m already planning to invite her to cat-sit again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.

We chose Averi because of her high ratings on Rover, and honestly, she totally lived up to the hype. She came by ahead of time to go over everything with us, and even showed up during some pretty bad weather. That really meant a lot—it gave us a chance to walk through all the details and made us feel way more comfortable before leaving for our trip. We were away for three weeks, and Averi was super consistent the whole time. She stuck to the schedule we agreed on and sent us detailed updates every visit—lots of photos (always 10+!) plus a full recap of how our cats were doing, including food, water, and their overall mood. One of our cats is very active and has a bit of an attitude—we have to be pretty careful handling him ourselves. Averi was incredibly patient and attentive with him, which we really appreciated. When we got back, both of our cats were relaxed and doing great. That was a huge relief, especially since they had separation anxiety the last time we left them for our trip. We would 200% recommend Averi as your next pet sitter. She’s absolutely someone you can trust and will make it so much easier to actually relax while you’re away!

Carrie-Ann is simply wonderful. She took care of my five little cats for eight days and achieved truly amazing things. She even connected with one of our shyest babies, and I was honestly amazed. She kept us updated on how our little ones were doing and sent us beautiful photos that looked like they were taken by a professional. She gave them so much love, and I could see my babies happy and living their best little lives. I even feel like they forgot they were supposed to miss us. To be honest, I am a tiny bit jealous of how much they grew to love Carrie-Ann, but I am also incredibly happy knowing they felt safe and cared for. She is now officially part of our little cat family, and we will absolutely call her again the next time we need help. She won our hearts too.

She was very attentive, and even though we had difficulty communicating in the first few days because I didn't have access to the Rover app, she made every effort to contact us during that time via another messaging app. We found our puppy and kitty safe and sound, and our house as we left it. I highly recommend her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Port Moody 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,910 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Port Moody. About 88% of Port Moody 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,910 sitters in Port Moody, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Port Moody 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
