About: Growing up, my family had 2 large dogs. I have always had a love for animals, big and small. At this stage in my life, I do not have any pets of my own. I am a loving aunty to my sister’s two dogs, Gus and Hopps; my dad’s dog, Ollie; my uncle’s dog, Moffat, and my sister-in-law’s cat named Ben. Not to mention, an honorary aunt to countless friends’ pets. I have had the pleasure of pet-sitting dogs and cats of all ages, including an adorable 15 year old Boston Terrier with various health issues requiring timed medication and a rescue dog that required daily physiotherapy exercises and massage for some muscle and joint pain he was experiencing. I work a full-time job Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm. Depending on the situation, I can do a morning walk before work, an evening walk after work, and a later walk before bed. My partner is often happy to assist with a lunch-time walk as needed and based on the comfort of the owner. I am a quiet and respectful working professional who is committed to providing loving care to your beloved pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while you are away.
“Debbie took such great care of our anxious little spaniel, and totally won him over too. She sent us great detailed updates with photos each day, and it was clear how much care and attention she paid to him while we were gone. She handled giving him medications and 4 walks a day, and was able to be with him the whole time. It was nerve-racking setting our dog up with a stranger for the first time, but it's clear Debbie adores animals. We're so glad we picked her! She also left our apartment so clean and even did laundry and made the bed, which was totally unexpected and lovely of her. We would totally book Debbie again!”
“Katrina and Tom are excellent pet sitters. They show such care and kindness to both the owners and the pet. They really take pride in doing the best possible job they can to make you and your pet feel comfortable and follow the instructions. You layout regarding any routines. They were fantastic with our 11 week old puppy and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with their pet.”

“Oksana cat-sat my two cats in-house for five days. She was fantastic and went above and beyond! She responded quickly to my queries and regularly sent me photos. She was respectful too of my living space and even cleaned it. I highly recommend her as she's caring, loves animals, is responsible and a great communicator. I will have her back!”
“We had a great experience with Mariia! From the day we made an inquiry she was extremely responsive and answered our questions thoroughly. She agreed to doing a meet and greet prior to looking after our dog and was very sweet and friendly. While we were away I felt very confident with Mariia looking after Luna and she sent us the cutest pictures! She was also open to us messaging her at anytime and always responded fast. The house was left very clean. I am always really picky about who we leave our girl with and I can say in confidence that we would 100% book Mariia again! Thank you Mariia!”
“Jacqueline was simply amazing! She took such good care of our 3 dogs and 3 cats - which in itself is not an easy task, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were all comfortable and happy. She was also incredible at sending frequent updates on all of them! We are very thankful to have someone as thoughtful and competent as her to look after our home when we are away.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have also had the opportunity to work in animal welfare in the past, so you can rest assured that your dog is in good hands. I have plenty of experience handling dogs of any age, including those with specialized care requirements. Whether you have a dog who enjoys adventure, car rides, or the comforts of home, I'm happy to accomodate the specific needs of your pet. Previously, I worked for 18 years in healthcare, so in the absolutely rare event of an emergency, you can count on me to remain calm and act quickly. At this time I am available all days of the week and can devote as much care and attention to your dog as needed. I work online occasionally, but no longer than 4 hours a day, and no more than 2 days per week. While in my care, the majority of my time will be structured around caring for your dog(s). My goal is to continue the routines that exist in your dogs lives to ensure that they are comfortable and secure, as if you never left. I do not hit or strike; learning opportunities are handled through positive reinforcement (if you allow), and a leash will always be used when leaving the home.
“Ibrahim was very responsible, kind, and trustworthy. He kept me updated on everything and sent me photos and short videos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend him and will definitely rebook”
“Our family had a wonderful experience with June. Our dog, Koa, can be slightly reactive, and June was so patient and confident with her — she was clearly very happy and enjoyed plenty of walks and adventures while we were away. Our cat also seemed very content and comfortable spending time with her. A few. happy kitty! Coming home to a clean and well-cared-for home was such a nice bonus after our trip. June was reliable, caring, and attentive, and we felt very at ease knowing our pets and home were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again when needed.”
“We just returned from a relaxing vacation and found our kitties to be completely content. Thanks for your care and attention to the house and our cats. I would highly recommend Isobel and hope to have her return in the future! Thanks for everything!”

“Haley is the BEST! Watched our dog and cat for 3 weeks while we were on our Honeymoon in a completely different time zone and she was always responsive, sent pics, and cleaned up the place before leaving. Absolute best dog/cat sitter ever.”
About: My previous room-mate was a veterinary technician, and I frequently watched and walked her animals while she was away. I’ve been around and loved animals my whole life and am very comfortable around them. I often watch and walk friends dogs! My life doesn’t allow me to have a dog of my own currently, and it brings me great joy to help out in this way! I am looking for longer stays (2-3 days or more). I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule if notice is given. I will be commuting from out of town. :) I love spending time with animals, including getting them out of the house on adventures, to new parks for them to experiance new and interesting environments, or taking them to parks they are comfortable with and love. I also love spending time with them in the home, while giving them lots of time and attention!

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!
Toby was absolutely incredible! We booked her for our wedding and was very attentive all day, she even brought him out during the ceremony so that our dog could participate in our ceremony. All of our guests loved Toby and were raving about her. We would book her again in a heartbeat!
We had a great experience with Averi while she cared for Olive for three days. She was reliable, always on time, and kept consistent contact with us throughout. We really appreciate the frequent updates, including lots of photos and she kept our place super clean, which was amazing and Olive got plenty of walks and attention. It was clear she was well cared for we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.
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.
We booked Samantha when we had to go away for a few days to stay at our house to look after our Rotti and rescue staffy. She was willing to come and do 2 home visits before to make sure the dogs and us were comfortable. The dogs were happy and safe while we were gone and will book her for sure the next time we need to go away!
This was the 2nd time Megan watched Finley and we were super happy with her stay and trust her watching our pup! She was timely and provided updates that we absolutely loved! Finley was so excited to see and hangout with her again. She also was able to accommodate super last minute which we are grateful for. Would love Megan to watch Finley again anytime and recommend her to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Port Moody on Rover is $64.38 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 3,055 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port Moody. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
