About: With a lifelong passion for animals and extensive experience in pet care, I have two dogs (Maltese and chihuahua) I am confident in my ability to provide loving and reliable care for your little ones. In addition to my hands-on experience, I am committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners. I understand the importance of keeping them updated on their pets' activities and well-being, ensuring peace of mind while they are away. I’m currently studying part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups! I’m available for boarding anytime you need! Just keep in mind to let me know with at least one day before! Firstly, I would like to understand the dogs/cat feeding habits, favorite toys, and any specific needs. I believe that a clear communication with pet owners helps tailor your care to the individual needs of each pet.
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 .
“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.
“Daria was wonderful. Responded right away and came for a meet and greet soon after. Looking after our "blind" Molly was no problem for her. It was daytime during the week so we were a little worried about finding a sitter to come to our house as nany only do weekends or only at there place during the week. We'd highly recommend Daria to everyone and we'll be using her services again”
“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!”
“My family dog loved Feena! He deals with anxiety and she made him feel so comfortable, took him on lots of walks, and gave him lots of love when I was away. Feena is very professional and thorough and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker, sitter, and etc.”

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...)
About: Hello! My name is Jenna! I love dogs - all kinds! I have been around dogs my entire life - growing up with 2 toy Pomeranians and a Chow-Chow, as well as when I lived with a roommate, their PitBull & Boxer. My two dogs were Boston Terriers (2 & 9) . I am able to accommodate day and overnight stays. I have experience with administering most types of medications so if you have a pet in need of medications during their stay, I can assist. Please let me know how I can help you out! I also typically free for the last minute, same-day bookings. I work Monday - Friday downtown but am able to bring pets to work if needed or I can work from home during your pets stay. I live in a condo near rocky point park so your pup with have plenty of exercise. When I’m out running errands Im never gone for more than 2 hours so pups needing extra potty breaks are no issues.
About: Hi, I’m Ashana! I am a recently graduated university student with a flexible schedule to dedicate time and attention to your pets. Whether that is a midday walk, playtime, or a drop in I am here to make sure your pet feels loved. I have an active lifestyle and love being outside, so I am more than happy for taking high energy dogs on long walks to burn off steam. I am also incredibly detail-oriented and observant, so I will closely follow any specific feeding routines, medication schedules, or other rules in place. I have grown up with dogs and cats of my own and family members and have lots of experience with taking care of animals of all kinds! Leaving your furry family member at home can be stressful, so I will send detailed updates and photos so you know they are in great hands! I hope to meet you and your pets! I currently am working from home and in between roles at the moment so I am flexible with different times for pet care! I will have plenty of time to do drop in visits, midday walks, or pet play time. I can coordinate schedules based on need for daily or weekly needs. I no longer have my own pet in my own home but have plenty of dog toys and dog beds. Our backyard is gated and fenced for plenty of space to run around! I am comfortable caring for dogs and ensuring they have an enriched time!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Moody
It was our first time leaving Ellie our dog with anyone for over a week and we were very nervous going on vacation. However, Qiqi exceeded our expectations and allowed us to have a relaxing vacation while she house sat our dog. From countless updates, videos, and photos to taking her out to enjoy Halloween festivities, she went beyond just feeding and walking our dog. Her kindness towards us and our dog will not be forgotten, and we will see her again the next time we are away. Thank you Qiqi. - The Karamloo Family
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. :)

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 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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
- 89% 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.
