“I’m so thankful for Nasrin! I had an unfortunate events come up and she was able to housesit buddy at last minute notice! Over the long weekend, she kept me updated and was always quick to reply. Buddy was so happy playing with Nasrin. Super friendly, super professional. 10/10”
“Cassandra was amazing with my pup, and rolled with the unique circumstance of my child being home at the same time. She sent photos during every walk and gave me consistent updates. I will definitely be booking her in the future!”
About: I have had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember! I have trained and raised my own dog and have cared for older dogs. I love animals so much and am looking forward to caring for your furry friend! I love animals so caring for them would fit into my weekend schedule as well as alternate Fridays. I am open to taking dogs for walks or spending a weekend with them. I love to be next to animals all the time so your pet will receive all the love and connection in my care! I provide in home services as well as walking.
“Isobel was lovely and took really great care of our dog for the day. My dog can be anxious and reactive and Isobel knew how to manage her in a way that felt comfortable and safe. My dog seemed to love her and felt so calm around her. Isobel also made sure to keep us calm and sent cute pictures 😊 This dog sitting turn out to be much less convenient for Isobel than intended, and I know she went through a lot of trouble to keep the booking and not cancel on us. This really shows how reliable she is and we appreciate it! Thank you so much! Would definitely book again.”
“Thank you Becky & Dylan for taking care of our little kids and our home. The pups were happy and the house was so well taken care of. You were both so easy to work with and the pups were so quick to like you both. We appreciated the photos and updates while we were away, you made us feel like we could relax on our trip. We would love to have you watch the kids again. Don and I would whole-heartedly recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again!!! Pibo, Lilly and Winston thank you too!! xoxo”
“Tereza is my dog's new favourite person! She is so sweet and kind and is very experienced handling a large leash-pulling dog. For my high-energy husky, Tereza's calm and relaxed energy was perfect and soothing. She made me feel so confident and I knew my dog was in great care. She's very quick to respond and an overall very reliable and responsible person. I highly recommend Tereza!”
About: I have taken care of 4 of my own pets until they passed over. When I pet sit, they take my entire attention. I love to play fetch, or any games they want to play. House sitting, water plants, tidy house. I am retired, so I have time on my hands and love cats and dogs. I have pet sat for 15 plus years. All by the way of word of mouth. I always keep dogs on a leach when outside. While I have a yard, it is hedged but not gated. Ensure pets are fed on time. I make sure there they have fresh water for their bowls. As well I ensure they are comfortable at bed time. I clean their indoor papers or clean outside following each toilet times.
“Katrina was fabulous! Took excellent care of our very anxious dog while we were able to enjoy an evening out. She sent lots of photos and worked hard to make him feel comfortable. 10/10 for sure!”
“Oksana was great with our cat Goose! We came home to a very happy boy. She navigated some trouble with his tracking app with great communication and sent us lots of photos of him so we could keep up to date. We came home to a very tidy home as well! We would definitely book with Oksana again :)”
“We had such a great experience with Jasleen 😊 She watched our dogs 6 times this past week and took wonderful care of them. Our dogs absolutely loved her and were so happy and comfortable with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was caring, reliable, and attentive. We really appreciate everything she did for our fur babies. We will definitely be booking with Jasleen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 😊😊”
“Kylie did an amazing job taking care of our very shy, high needs cat Victoria. Kylie exudes a calm, confident, and kind demeanour and Victoria warmed up to her right away (which is very rare for her). Kylie was prompt and proactive with her responses, and sent photos every day. We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy our trip without her and I’m so grateful!”
About: I have been pet sitting for the past 15 years locally. Dogs, cats, and in some cases even chickens. I've looked after elderly cats that needed medication, a big goofy puppy that needed lots of attention and energy, and everything in between. All in all it's been a very fulfilling journey and now I'm looking to expand my services using this website. I work part-time and am self-employed so have plenty of flexibility to rearrange my schedule to accommodate pet sitting and can easily fit in a week of pet care. When I'm in your home looking after your pets, whether that's a dog or a cat, I have plenty of time to play with them, cuddle or just hang out. I also love walking, so if you have a dog, it would get a good walk in everyday. I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, and give treats. I will keep your pet happy safe and nourished and your house clean. Also I'm happy to water any plants or pick up mail.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, calm, and observant, and I always take time to learn each pet’s routines and preferences. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and shy animals, and I can provide walks, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and medication under owner instructions. I almost graduate. I only have one course in this semester. Therefore, I have enough time and patience to take care of the dog and cat. Safety is my top priority. I keep dogs on leash during walks unless in a secure enclosed area. I never introduce pets to other animals without permission. I follow all feeding and medication instructions, monitor behavior, and keep clean water available. In the client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure and respect house rules. I send regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.
About: Hi, I'm Jonathan, a dog lover who enjoys long walks and steady routines. What you can expect: Daily walks at your dog's pace Feeding and medication on your schedule Regular photo updates I'll follow your dog's usual routine so the transition feels easy, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Message me to arrange a free meet-and-greet I am currently working remote with a flexible schedule, so I can be available most times for short and long term pet sitting as needed. I can care for your pet in your home, on your pets typical schedule and with all their usual comforts. Let me know if you have any specific care needs and I will happily accommodate.
“Bryana was so so sweet and caring! She took EXCELLENT care of our cats and updated us regularly with photos. I definitely recommend her for taking care of your fur babies. Thank you so much Bryana!!”
“Isabella was fantastic. She was great at communication with us before her arrival and during her stay with our puppy. She sent us pictures and videos of Bowen while we were away. I felt so wonderful having such a caring person taking care of our dog and our home while we were away. She left detailed notes of what he ate and did each day and the times for all of it .. the care was amazing ❤️thank you Isabella”
About: I believe dogs are part of our family , they need enough respect and attention , i grew up with dogs in my back home but now in canada I dont have one yet Routine is the best for me but occasionally is fine as well , weekends i am free and can spend more time for pets . I prefer to play with dogs instead of leaving them by themselves or watching cartoons , I even like to play music for them .
About: I have been doing pet sits (full time for a few years now) and it's going extremely well! I have done sits all over the world (North America, Europe, Asia), in large cities (London, Singapore), and the countryside (farms on rural Vancouver Island) for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and goats; and I get asked for repeats frequently. I have looked after puppies, kittens, and elderly dogs and cats, and am comfortable administering medication to animals. Since I work as a digital nomad, I'm almost always around to give pets attention throughout the day (and who doesn't like an excuse to take a break from work and go for a walk?). I am also pretty tidy and I don't smoke or make much noise and such. I'm also, dare I say, a nice guy; all my sits have been positive and I've gotten along well with the hosts. I also know a thing or two about gardening and plant maintenance, and am happy to water plants for hosts if required. Please have a look at the reviews I've gotten over the years and definitely feel free to get in touch! I am a digital nomad and work full-time at home. As such, I am typically very available to provide tons of attention to pets throughout the day. I always speak to the owner beforehand to assess the pet's routines, etc., and ensure the transition to my care is as smooth and seamless as possible. (Extra treats the first few days never hurts either...)

This was my first time using Cara and I highly recommend her! The dogs were relaxed when I came home and the house looked organized and calm. She gave them a couple of stuffs and Onyx enjoyed gutting one yesterday. Talia is a chill dog, however, Onyx is much more intense. She handled them both and took great pictures of them!
Averi is a wonderful care taker! We recommend her for those looking for care to their pets. She’s communicative, attentive, and affectionate towards our pup, and did a wonderful job house sitting the 10 days we were away. We came back to a clean home and a happy, healthy pup!
We’ve had Priya house sit our 11 yr old Boston Terrier twice (and a drop off visit ) and we are super pleased with the care provided for our pup while we were away and the condition she leaves our home ! We will most definitely continue having Priya watch our pup for vacations - she’s very reliable and so great with our dog. Thanks again Priya!
Adelaide was great! She took care of my senior American Pit Bull Terrier and lived in our home for 5 nights. She met my dog beforehand which I really appreciated! She showed up on time and my dog instantly loved her! Adelaide was great with communicating and always replied right away. When we came home, our place was spotless and we had a very happy dog! Highly recommend using Adelaide to watch your animals!
Krisztina was amazing with my two cats. She was there within 15m after I requested a super last minute appointment. I have a kitten with a bottomless pit of energy and she handled it flawlessly! She even played with her so much she took a nap!! She was attentive to all of my instructions and even stayed late after I got stuck in traffic!
Mikayla was a great sitter for our dog Lilly. It was the first time we used Rover and it was a great experience. She took great care of our home and Lilly. We will hopefully have her sit for us again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a great person to watch their fur baby.
From start to finish, Carrie-Ann was a complete professional. Asking all the important questions that were needed to get to know my little Luna. Every single day I received many photos of Luna , which made me feel at ease, knowing she was well taken care of. Absolutely 110% will be booking Carrie-Ann again in the future. Hands down, Luna had the best time with her. :)
Baran is an amazing dog sitter! She’s my top choice when looking for someone to come stay with my dog while i’m away. She send pictures, videos, and updates all day, follows all instructions left for her, and really connects with and cares for my dog. My dog loves her and i know i never have to worry about her when Baran is watching her! 10/10 recommend(:
Karina and Matt were incredible dog/house sitters. It's the first time we've used a service like Rover to book a dog sitter, and we were a tad nervous about the process, but the meet-and-greet with Karina and Matt put us at ease. They answered all our questions, were really communicative and punctual. While we were away, they sent us updates on our dog, and they took really great care of our home. As happy as our dog was to see us when we got home, I think she also misses her new friends! I would highly recommend Karina to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Port Moody maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Port Moody walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
