About: Hi there, my name is Kat :) I’ve been caring for animals since I was a young teen, not just dogs and cats, but horses and various farm animals as well! Through these diverse experiences I have developed a deep understanding of different breeds and their individual needs as well as passion for rescues! I’m also passionate about the care, attention, love, physical exercise, and mental stimulation that animals need to thrive. And have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, supporting with medical needs, and dogs with specialized training. I care deeply about the importance of providing consistent and gentle training for animals and am happy to follow your training preferences as requested! I grew up with 2 rescues, a beagle and a husky mix and was heavily involved in their training. I was also involved recently in the training of a puppy to be a therapy dog and have previously been certified as a handler for a service dog. I have been doing pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family for over a decade now and look forward to expanding out to meeting and caring for your furry best friends as well! 😊 I’m currently a part time student and otherwise am doing some low commitment volunteer work so I have lots of free time during my week to play with, walk, and visit your pups! I am very calm and patient with animals as they learn, and am happy to take the time to reinforce the good behaviours. I value consistency in training, care routines and play. I am quick to ask owners questions for any clarifications needed so I know I’m always actively supporting the animals success and individual needs.

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!

Alina was great. She took the job on short notice, was here on time for every appointment, sent great feedback and Mo clearly liked her. I came home to clean boxes, full water dishes, and a well looked after cat. I'll definitely seek her out the next time I need stop in care for my cat.

We were so happy with Veronika’s care of our two cats, Ollie and Tobie. She even took a picture of one of our cats (the other is so shy), and added litter to the iRobot. She was so kind and approachable. Our cats were well cared for, and we will definitely request Veronika to take care of our furry kids again!!

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 understand how tricky it can be to find reliable sitter for your family member, I really do! So I share with you 16 years of hands-on pet care experience, where I have developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and well-being. I have cared for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals, providing services such as daily walks, feeding, grooming, administering medications, and ensuring a safe, loving environment. My approach is attentive and personalized—I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and any special requirements. Whether it’s supporting high-energy dogs, caring for senior pets, or helping anxious animals feel comfortable, I prioritize patience, consistency, and trust. Pet owners can rely on me for responsible, compassionate care and clear communication, knowing their pets are treated with the same love and attention as my own. My work hours are flexible so you can be assured that your pet will never be alone for longer than a few hours at a time, that's great yes? Our backyard is fully fenced and I always keep my eye on if your dog is outside so you can feel comfortable if he stays with me!

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.

Raissa took care of our 2 babies during a month long trip, and she was beyond excellent! She would always arrive on time for the visits and let me know how the cats were on that day, along with always sending adorable pictures. She was flexible when I needed a last minute visit and followed all my care instructions. I’m sure my boys loved her as much as me! I would rely on Raissa when I travel again.

About: I have had pets sense I was eight years old! I have cared for dogs both big and small and have experience with both puppies and senior doggos. I'm currently on a hybrid work schedule! This will allow my to spend dedicated time with your pup. There are no children present, and I currently have a laid back puppy that can help keep your dog socialized when they need a friend! I live in an apartment that has an amenity hall with a dog run and a pup spa. This allows for your pup to have plenty of opportunities to not only get a spa treatment but have a safe space for bathroom breaks during late nights and early mornings.

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 had a fantastic experience with Kayla. She did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. She took the time to sit and give him the cuddles and affection he misses most when we're gone, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she provided updates and sent videos with every visit, so we always felt connected. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again.

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!

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Port Moody

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Port Moody on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 4,561 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Port Moody. About 85% 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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Port Moody stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 85% 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.
