About: I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and daily care, supported by my previous experience working in a veterinary setting. This background has given me hands-on experience recognizing signs of stress or illness, following detailed care instructions, and handling pets calmly and safely. What sets me apart is my confidence and knowledge in caring for pets with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting senior pets who may need extra patience or mobility assistance, and reinforcing basic training and routines for puppies. I understand how important consistency, observation, and gentle handling are for a pet’s wellbeing. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I would expect for my own—prioritizing safety, comfort, and emotional wellbeing. I also communicate clearly with pet parents and provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your pet is in experienced, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and companionship, ensuring pets are never rushed or left unattended for long periods. I’m able to accommodate regular routines as well as special needs, including medication schedules, senior care, and extra potty breaks for puppies. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I make pet care a priority and adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets in my home and in my clients’ homes. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, allowing pets to enjoy secure outdoor time for play, fresh air, and bathroom breaks under close supervision. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. Pets are never left unattended in the yard, and I make sure gates are secured at all times. Inside the home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space and remove any potential hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and follow all instructions closely to ensure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I focus on building trust through patience, consistency, and positive interaction, and I always provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and at ease.
About: I have experience helping take care of my younger sibling’s dog, and through that experience I realized how much I genuinely love being around animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel comfortable, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. I especially enjoy creating a calm and loving environment so pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working online at home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available on weekends for boarding and most weekdays after 2 PM. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. Safety and trust are very important to me. I always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and secure environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets receive lots of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care.
About: Patient, attentive and adaptable to every pet's personality and routine. I provide exercise, companionship and trusted care. Free belly rubs, sorry, only for your pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and extended in-home care, keeping pets comfortable in their own home I prioritize safety, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and build trust by providing reliable, attentive care while keeping your pet's environment comfortable

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Moody
We are so grateful to Lauren for watching our little babies. They love her!! She definitely goes above an beyond to make sure they are well taken care of and we are so appreciative. She even texted afterwards to confirm that our daughter had arrived to continue watching the pups. How awesome is that!! Very thoughtful and caring. She has sat for us before and we would happily have her come again!! Thank you Lauren!!
Ellie was absolutely wonderful! She came over for an hour to sit with my dog and did everything above and beyond what I expected. She was attentive, caring, reliable, and handled everything excellently. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Ellie and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
We had a great experience with Stephanie providing drop in care for Olive! She dropped in to take care of Olive and let her out for a pee and poo and got her dinner fed and everything went smoothly! Olive was happy and well taken care of, and we really appreciated the reliability and care. Thank you again so much :)
I had such a great experience with Baran as a dog sitter. It was their very first time meeting, and I wasn’t even home — which can honestly be stressful — but everything went so smoothly. Charlie absolutely loved her and felt comfortable with her right away, which really says a lot. with Baran, he was relaxed and happy from the start. She is kind, trustworthy, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. It gave me so much peace of mind, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! We love u Baran🥰
Justine has been super communicative and I feel very confident leaving Otter with her! I love the peace of mind that comes from knowing she has her dog first aid, and she is just lovely to interact with all around. Definitely plan to continue working with her!!
Dawn W. took great care of our pets, sending messages and photos every day. 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!
It was my first time using this app to search for a pet sitter and at first I was worried if my senior pup can be taken cared of due to his old age condition. I’m happy I found Wing Sum and she was responsible, attentive and caring for my dog. She followed my instructions well and I know my dog is in good hands. Thank you

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Port Moody is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,238 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Port Moody. About 84% 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
