“Sandra was amazing with gunner. He is reactive so it's great to have someone be able to care for him and his specific needs. Great experience all together will definitely have gunner be a repeat guest.”
“Coco and Hiaqian always go above and beyond with the care of our dogs. We always get daily updates and photos, and you can tell that they really love dogs. We feel that our dogs are always in great hands when staying with them. Thank you again!”
“Maye and Frank are the best! Easy and prompt communications throughout and they sent me lots of updates. The took such good care of my pup. Highly highly recommend!”
“Rui ìs amazing! She is kind and caring and a great communicator. I didn’t worry at all leaving my 2 dogs with her. She sent pictures and texts each day and responded quickly to any texts. Thanks again Rui and I hope Ruby and Pearl can stay with you again in the future.”
“Pi Yun was so attentive and was so amazing to our corgi Kronk! She updated us every day and sent us photos and videos of how Kronk was doing, which put my wife and I at ease that Kronk was doing well during our trip. He was so happy when we got back and it definitely looked like he had a lot of fun. Thank you again Pi Yun!”
“Tammy was amazing! My little one stayed with her overnight and had the BEST time with lots of playing, cuddles, and lots of walks. Tammy send me frequent (and very cute) updates with pictures. This ensured that my baby was in good hands. The best thing about Tammy is that you can tell she really loves animals and understands their needs. This is exactly what I look for in a puppy sitter ! 100% recommend!”
“This is our second time asking Vickie to look after Miffy! Without a doubt, Vickie is absolutely wonderful! Miffy felt so comfortable and happy, completely blending in as if she were at her own home. We kept receiving regular updates from Vickie, and we could see from the videos and photos that Miffy was having a blast, relaxing on the sofa, and moving around freely. We truly appreciate Vickie's patience and care. We've already booked her again for our next vacation!”
“Ashley and Kelvin are really loving people. There are updates and pictures everyday. Annie had great time with them and their puppy Charlee. I will definitely recommend them to others also go back to them next time.”
“Nogol was AMAZING! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her and will definitely use her again. Our dog can be a bit of a handful and she was incredibly accommodating, patient and communicative throughout the whole experience.”
“Selina is such an amazing sitter. Not only she accepted my request on such a short notice, but also very attentive and show updates of Luka by photos. I am definitely going to hire her again next time I need a walker or a dog sitter! Amazing amazing girl!”
“Dean is truly Casper's home away from home in Vancouver. He took incredible care of Casper and kept us at ease with a ton of pictures throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Casper was. When we had to extend our trip unexpectedly due to a personal emergency, Dean accommodated Casper on short notice without hesitation. That kind of flexibility and reliability means everything when you're already dealing with a stressful situation. We couldn't recommend Dean more highly. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for your dog like family, look no further.”
“Anisa was extremely responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Most importantly, it was clear that my dog was comfortable with her and had a great time while in her care! It’s always reassuring to know your dog is happy and well looked after, and I felt confident leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“We cannot thank Jhera enough for the excellent care she provided for our dogs! She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, sending updates and photos that showed how happy and comfortable our dogs were during their stay. It was clear they loved being with her. Her attention to detail, warmth, and genuine love for animals truly stood out. We highly recommend Jhera to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
“This is the second time we’ve left Bruce with Karolinne and Eric and they are truly the best! Great communication and they are so loving towards our little guy Bruce! 100% would recommend them to anyone!”
“Nien Tzu looked after Daisy, our black labradoodle, for the first time from Aug 1-17. We knew she was in good hands by the number of questions Nien asked initially to make sure she understood Daisy’s needs and habits. While we were away we got daily updates with photos and videos which we really appreciated. Nien took Daisy on lots of different types of walks and went even further afield from Richmond to Pacific Spirit Park. The extra effort Nien went meant alot to us. We highly recommend her !”
“Yvonne and Stephanie have made my first boarding experience extremely pleasant. I was very worried about Puff feeling anxious when boarding for the first time in her life. And Yvonne and Stephanie fully understood how I felt. They sent a ton of updates, photos and videos, to show me how Puff opened up within the first half an hour of boarding. Oh and did I mention Albus was super chill and allowed Puff to learn how to be around another dog! By the time I picked Puff up, she looked as happy and healthy as ever. I would definitely recommend Yvonne and Stephanie to anyone needing dog boarding. And I will come back to them if I need to board Puff again in the future.”

My fluffy boy has a very unique personality and can be quite a handful! Even another sitter turned him down, but she welcomed my big, stubborn boy with so much patience, kindness, and love. Now he absolutely adores her! ❤️ She also sent me daily photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m truly grateful for her care and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommended! 🥰
Every time I leave Belle with Maye and Frank, I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. They’ve become like a second family to her, and it’s clear how much Belle loves them! It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing my girl is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while I’m away. I couldn’t recommend them enough! ❤️
Tammy was amazing! My little one stayed with her overnight and had the BEST time with lots of playing, cuddles, and lots of walks. Tammy send me frequent (and very cute) updates with pictures. This ensured that my baby was in good hands. The best thing about Tammy is that you can tell she really loves animals and understands their needs. This is exactly what I look for in a puppy sitter ! 100% recommend!
Finding a sitter like Anisa was an absolute stroke of luck! She was a perfect sitter in every way, and you can truly feel how much she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. My dog is quite particular, so even though she’s 13, this was our very first time leaving her with an individual pet sitter instead of a professional facility. All of my worries vanished—Anisa gave her the absolute best care. She took her on so many walks and shared frequent photo updates, which gave me immense peace of mind. I could clearly see from the photos that my dog was having such a wonderful time! Thanks to Anisa, I was able to enjoy my trip without any worry. Thank you so much again, Anisa!♥️
It was Udon’s 1st time ever to stay overnight at someone else’s home. I love how Jingjing would provide constant updates of Udon, and with photos too! Glad Udon had a great time with her! That would be a great relief for a dog owner to know how was their dog doing! I would definitely rebook Jingjing if I ever need someone to take care of my dog overnight in the future.
Mario spent 5 nights with Christine and her family, I can tell Mario was happy there. I received regular updates and pictures of Mario while I was away, i was glad to know Mario have a responsible sitter. They kept a clean home and have a fenced backyard for Mario to run free. I would love to have repeat bookings in future!
Tianna and Tyler are great! I trust them fully with Sweetie, they are so caring and loving. Never feel uneasy about letting them take care of her because they constantly communicate, send updates and pictures without fail! Super flexible as well which makes things so smooth! I can always count on them, they’re wonderful!
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Ettore, especially for such a long stay. He spent two weeks with Hector and Jeanette, and from the very beginning they were incredibly kind, communicative, and thoughtful. They kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us lots of pictures, and always reached out if they had any questions. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy Ettore looked in every picture. He clearly felt comfortable and was genuinely enjoying his time with them. He also absolutely loved spending time with Dori. It was so sweet seeing pictures of them playing together, relaxing, and even sleeping next to each other. ❤️ Knowing that Ettore was being looked after by people who genuinely care about him and treat him like their own made our trip so much better. You can really feel when someone truly loves dogs and cares about their wellbeing, and that was definitely the case with Hector and Jeanette. We’re very grateful to them both and would absolutely trust them with Ettore again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little guy! 🐶❤️

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.
sitters in Richmond have an average of 14 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.
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.
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.

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.
You and your Richmond sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
