“We had a wonderful experience with Heng-Chi taking care of our dog Quincy. She was able to accept our booking last minute, was great with communication and sent lots of photos. Highly recommend.”
“I never thought I could find a sitters like Maaya and her partner. Charlie was in the best of hands with them during my 3 week holiday. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone that will treat your loved one as their own. Thank you for everything ❤️”
“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 couldn’t be more pleased with Anmol and Abhinav’s pet sitting services for our dog, Nova! As nervous dog parents, we really appreciated how they went above and beyond to ensure Nova had a fun and safe time while we were away. Their dog, Bella, was the perfect playmate for Nova, and it was such a relief to know she had a companion to spend time with. Anmol and Abhinav worked wonderfully as a team, providing us with regular updates and adorable pictures of Nova’s adventures. It truly eased our minds to see her so happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Anmol and Abhinav for anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
“Anna was awesome, kind, and communicative all throughout Luna's stay. Luna seemed to love all of the roommates. She came back happy and well taken care of. I would definitely send her back!”
“Ashley and her partner were very friendly and easy going. Communicated well and my dog had a great time. They even gave me some treats and a toy that my dog really enjoyed when I went to pick up my dog at the end of the day. I highly recommend.”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. His professionalism up front really inspired trust, and once we made a solid connection at the meet and greet, I knew Luna was going to be in good hands. She absolutely was treated like gold. The communication was reliable and flexible. All the photos he shared showed a very happy dog! I would 100% choose to board Luna with Andrew and his lovely partner again any time.”
“Tori went above and beyond with my cat Mango! She was beyond reassuring with any concerns and provided daily updates. She was attentive and I came back to a very relaxed cat who didn’t even want to leave! She also gave me some suggestions which I thought was so beyond her responsibilities and you can tell she really loves cats. Mango was also very fond of her cat and I really enjoyed getting pictures of them together.”
“Jin is an amazing sitter! She updated us multiple times a day which made us feel at ease while on vacation. Aero was happy, comfortable and clearly well loved. Highly recommend Jin if you’re looking for a reliable sitter. 🐾💗”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have cared for my own pets for many years, as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I started traveling in 2022, my lifestyle has not allowed me to have a pet of my own, so caring for other people’s pets has become a meaningful way to keep that connection in my life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every pet feel happy and well cared for. I work 100% from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. Because of this, pets are rarely left alone and can receive plenty of supervision, companionship, playtime, and affection as part of my daily routine. For boarding, I offer flexible check-in and check-out times whenever possible. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. Daily walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks are included depending on each pet’s routine and needs. For house visits, I can provide up to two 1-hour visits per day. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in mail while you are away. For house sitting, I take both pet care and home care very seriously. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure pets maintain their normal routines to help them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medication when clear instructions are provided. Before caring for any pet, I always like to learn about their personality, routine, preferences, energy level, health needs, and any special quirks or triggers. I believe understanding each pet individually is the best way to provide loving, responsible, and stress-free care. I believe every pet is unique, so the care I provide always depends on each dog’s individual needs, personality, routine, and the specific instructions given by their owner. I take the time to understand their habits, energy level, preferences, feeding schedule, and any special care requirements to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment both in my home and in my client’s home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also live near a large park where dogs can enjoy walks, explore, play, and safely use their energy while having a fun and enriching time outdoors. Whether a dog is very active or prefers a slower pace, I always adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible and attentive hands.
“My dog had such a great and peaceful time at her place. Thank you so much for taking care of him for a month. Really nice people and I would definitely drop off my dog again whenever I have a trip. Thank you for giving me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands.☺️ she will send me pics of my dog and keeping me updated, which is amazing.”
“Allison took wonderful care of Jammy during her stay. She kept us updated regularly with photos, which gave us great peace of mind, and followed all of the care instructions we provided. Jammy got along really well with Ollie, and it was heartwarming to see them playing together. She had such a great time that she came home completely exhausted! It was wonderful to see how comfortable and happy she was during her stay. Thank you, Allison, for taking such great care of Jammy. We would be happy to book with you again!”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 4 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and personalities. I treat every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I specialize in caring for small and medium sized dogs (up to 25 lbs.) and understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. Whether they're playful and energetic or enjoy a quiet day of cuddles and naps, I'm committed to providing dependable, patient, and loving care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands. I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on your pup throughout the day and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and following each dog's usual schedule to help them feel relaxed and at home. Our building is secure and quiet, perfect for dogs who prefer a calm environment without the stress of a busy household. We live in a cozy apartment just a quick 10 mins. drive from YVR Airport, making drop-offs and pick-ups incredibly convenient for travelers! I am home full time and dedicate my days to providing structured, attentive care for small and medium sized dogs. Your pup will have a wonderful, friendly companion in my gentle 2 years old Shichon! With several beautiful parks nearby, I take the dogs on at least three walks a day, a refreshing morning stroll and an afternoon walk (each lasting 25+ minutes), plus a short 10 mins. bedtime stretch, alongside plenty of potty breaks as needed. Between walks, your pup will enjoy playtime, mental enrichment, cozy cuddles, and 100% supervised care. I always follow your dog's regular routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home!
“Nana (our German shepherd) had a great time with Sara and her family. Sara is very knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile to make sure our furry friend had a blast while were away. She is very patient and caring. We really appreciated the frequent updates about Nana—it was truly amazing seeing our dog so happy in all the photos!”
“Highly recommend Sunny! She kept me very close to the dog boarding experience even though she did not have to at all. My dog Rue loves her so much and misses her dearly when we picked her up, I could tell by her demeanour in the car as we were leaving.”
“This is the 3rd time Jacky has watched my dog Rosie. He’s great with communication and sending updates. Very accommodating with days and times. Rosie gets along well with his dog Rex and Jacky’s place is great.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Richmond is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
We are absolutely so glad we chose Rui to look after Prince while we were away in Europe for two weeks. We truly could not have asked for a better person to care for him. Prince is a very shy and anxious little guy who does not open up to many people. We started with a daycare session with Rui, and we knew almost immediately that she was the person we wanted to choose to look after him for our two week trip. Rui was absolutely amazing with him. She was incredibly loving, patient, and caring, and within a day or so, Prince had completely come out of his shell and was acting like his happy, playful self. It was such a huge relief for us and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in such good hands. Rui also went above and beyond with his routine. Prince has a fairly strict feeding routine that involves mixing his kibble with cooked, shredded chicken breast, and she followed everything perfectly. We felt completely at ease knowing his routine was being maintained. The daily updates were also fantastic. Rui would often send us multiple updates throughout the day, including photos and videos of Prince playing, going for walks, enjoying treats, and just having a great time. The updates were not only incredibly reassuring, but also so cute and genuinely made our day while we were away. You can truly tell that Rui cares deeply about animals, and it was clear to us that she really fell in love with Prince during his stay. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Rui gave Prince so much love and attention, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did for him. We will absolutely choose Rui again and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and exceptional to look after their pet. Prince clearly had an amazing time, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
The first day was always tough leaving Molly behind. Surprisingly, Molly adopted the new change very fast and clam. Thanks to Connie's good care. After few days, Molly fully adopted the new place and having lots of fun. During the stay, pictures and information sharing the daily routine was fantastic. Very responsible and kind family. Highly recommended and for sure will be boarding again in the near future. Thank you very much for your kindness and love to Molly.
Our 10 year old Corgi, Fritz, had an amazing time! He stayed for almost a month with them. The communication from Sharon was wonderful. Lots of updates and photos were provided which gave us comfort knowing Fritz was being well cared for. It helped also having the updates on the IG page as well. I would highly recommend Sharon and her family as pet sitters as Fritz is a very loving and happy dog, but he also does have some difficult qualities and they were able to manage him very well without any issues. I would highly recommend Sharon to care for your dog as they will be in great hands with her and her family’s.
Brittaney and Tommy took really good care of Bisco. We did a few try out staysand she loved going in their home after the first one. We knew she had a good time with them so no issue nor concern leaving her with them for long period. And she had a great time with them for two weeks while we were away!
Jammy enjoyed her stay with Sandra. Sandra provided regular updates and sent us pictures which put us at ease. She followed all instructions and made sure Jammy felt safe and relaxed. Jammy enjoyed playing with the kids as well and all the long walks! Thanks Sandra!
My dog had such a great and peaceful time at her place. Thank you so much for taking care of him for a month. Really nice people and I would definitely drop off my dog again whenever I have a trip. Thank you for giving me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands.☺️ she will send me pics of my dog and keeping me updated, which is amazing.
Jessie took such wonderful care of Max, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She genuinely cared for him and kept me updated with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was heartwarming to see how happy Max was and how quickly he bonded with Bubbles (her pup) and settled into her home. Knowing he was comfortable, loved, and having fun made all the difference. I would absolutely book with Jessie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dogsitter.
Anisa did great with our older malinois Skye. She was understanding of her quirks and our instructions and was super communicative through Skye's stay. Skye was happy and calm when I picked her up and seemed to have a good time with Anisa. Would highly recommend her!

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.
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 .
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
