“Tania was great with our two chihuahuas while we were away for three weeks in January. On top of taking great care of the dogs in our home, she also sent daily pictures. I will definitely reach out to Tania when we travel in the future.”
“Elise is very professional, considerate, has great communication and a calm presence - our dogs loved her immediately. We felt completely at ease leaving them in her care. Highly recommend Elise for any pet care needs.”
“Chelsea was wonderful and I would definitely reach out to her again - very responsive and kept me informed on how Lucy was doing while I was away, always making sure she was comfortable and happy - I would definitely recommend Chelsea.”
“Sierra took excellent care of Rocket! She messaged me lots of updates and photos which was so great to see as it was her first time hanging out with our boy. The week went smoothly and coming home the house was very clean and Rocket was happy, clearly having a good week with Sierra while we were away! Would certainly book with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I have years of hands on experience and genuinely love animals. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time at home with animals, so I’m happy to make time for regular walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of downtime. My schedule can vary from week to week, but I’m hoping to care for pets every now and then when it works well with my schedule. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and give them the attention and care they’re used to. Offering reliable weekly walks, with availability for short-notice walks whenever I can. I treat every pet as family and do my best to keep them comfortable and close to their normal routine. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routines, while giving them lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and downtime depending on what they enjoy. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I’ll always communicate with the owner and make sure I understand their pet’s needs and preferences before they’re in my care.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Nic provided while looking after our home and our beloved dog. Her communication was excellent; she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was well cared for and content when we returned. The house was in perfect order, maybe even cleaner than we left it. We highly recommend Nic for anyone needing a responsible and caring house and pet sitter!”
About: Grew up on a farm in the UK surrounded by pets! Missing them all very much. Expect an active, patient and caring pet carer here. I’m working for BC wildfire this summer, but will have long weekends where my partner and I I would love to look after your pet. Here to provide whatever care you need, my partner and I have a great understanding of petcare needs and can remain very adaptable to individual circumstances!
About: Pets tend to warm up to me from the beginning. I love them and they seem to sense that. I am registered on Trusted Pet Sitters and there are additional references found there if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your animals:) I am an able bodied mature woman with a flexible schedule. If you have particular needs regarding your schedule, I am happy to work things out. I am happy to bring your well trained dog into my home or we can arrange to sit in yours. There are trails surrounding the area where I live for walking. If you have a cat(s) I am happy to arrange to sit in your home.
About: Hi Squamish! I have spent the past couple of years dog walking/dog sitting for friends and family. I now have alot more free time in schedule as I work from home and would love the chance to bring some local pets on my daily walks and adventures! I have lots of experience with training/handling dogs and would love to get to know the doggies of Squamish more! I currently have a very flexible schedule! I am working from home so I can walk your furry friend in the mornings, afternoons or evenings! When coming to your home to care for your pet or go out on a walk, I will always make sure to do a short visit to make sure your pet and I bond! I want to build a safe and trusting environment for everyone involved.
“Sara and her partner did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! They also accommodated me pretty last minute which I appreciated. Sara was great with communication, sending pics and following the info I gave her about my dog. I definitely recommend!”
“Frédérique is a great dog sitter. She was very responsive and communicated with us throughout the overnight stay. She was clear about her availability and followed our instructions. She went out of her way to ensure the dogs got two solid outings. Despite having to leave for work early in the morning, she still went out of her way to walk the dogs down to the river for a dip. We are so grateful for her care and look forward to rebooking with her in the future.”
About: I have grown up surrounded by furry companions (dogs,cats,farm animals) and love every minute of it. Life without a dog or animal for me is an unknown. I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, active dogs and all kinds of dog breeds from small to large and find the joy in each of them. Whether your dog has a quirk or a perk, it’s not too much for me. I will love and care for them as my own and my home has no boundaries for them because I want them to feel as comfortable as they would at their own home. Whether they need training reinforced, walks, runs, forest immersions, swims or just downtime, we’ll take good care of them. My miniature longhaired daschund is my home companion. He is gentle, playful and sweet with any and all other dogs. He knows when to avoid senior dogs and to engage with puppies. I appreciate and love this intuitive nature most about him. With us your dog will be in loving hands. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule which makes play time, company and walks easy. I also have a little fenced yard that is accessible to them during the day for some needed supervised outdoor play time. A nature trail is right in front of my home and forest walks are an easy 5min drive to access. I am available and hands on during the day. Your pup will be in good care and company daily. I have a ground level home with fenced yard to play in and one miniature longhaired daschund to keep your baby company whether to play or just to relax with. My home will be home to your pet and I will treat them as my own. For house sittings, Fynn (my dog) and I will be respectful and take utmost care to look after your belongings and pup. You can relax and rest assured that your home and pup are in capable, loving and caring hands.
“Fiona house sat for me for a little over 2 weeks. My pup seemed really happy in all of her updates and was well taken care of. I would definitely book again. She also left my place very clean and tidy.”
“Ingrid stayed with our dog, Oscar, overnight in our home. Oscar was treated with the same amount of love and care that I would give to him. Ingrid took him on multiple hikes and gave him the same amount of cuddles that he is used to. She even introduced him to a new dog friend called Emma. When we returned home, Oscar looked very happy and our house was in immaculate condition. Ingrid took her job of caring for Oscar and our home very seriously. I will not hesitate to reach out to Ingrid in the future to care for Oscar and our home. I actually think Oscar is ready for us to go away again ;) Thank you, Ingrid!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I’ve shared my life with animals since I was a kid — dogs, cats, you name it! I have experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra love and patience. I’m also trained in dog CPR, and I’m currently taking a course in dog training to better support pets and their humans. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with lots of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. Right now, I work from home from 9 AM to 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening walks. This schedule works well for morning walks, and after 3 PM I am fully available to go out and do activities based on the pet’s needs. I fully adapt to each pet’s and owner’s needs to provide the best care possible. When pets stay at my home, I create a warm, safe, and loving environment with daily walks, playtime, and personalized attention according to their usual routine. I have comfortable spaces to make them feel at home and a flexible schedule to ensure their well-being. If the care is at the client’s home, I respect the pet’s habits and rules so they feel comfortable and calm in their own environment. I take them for walks, play, and provide any special care they need, always keeping in touch with the owner to update them on how their companion is doing. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, giving them lots of attention and love at all times.
About: Hi there! My name is Denise. I am studying an MBA program and working part-time. I had to leave my doggy son in my home country while I’m studying here and I miss him so much.

Thank you I'm currently studying and working part time so my schedules are flexible. We can coordinate and see how our schedules will fit the best way for your dog I'm always watching your dog to know that he is safe and doesn't need anything.

About: Your pets next best friend 🧡 🐕🦺🐩🐕🐶🐈🐈⬛🐱 I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, even rabbit, hampsters and reptiles—and I honestly couldn’t imagine life without them. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, from tiny lapdogs to large working breeds, and I find something special in each one. No matter their quirks or personalities, I’ll love and care for them as if they were my own. I am not allowed pets at my home but outside is the best place where dogs are happy and so am I. I'm also happy to care for them in their own home and do check-ins. Whether your pup needs consistent training, peaceful walks, adventurous forest outings, refreshing swims, or simply some cozy downtime, I'll make sure they’re happy and fulfilled. My German Shepard passed away a while back. I often care for a family members lovely Blue Heeler/Bordercolie mix who is high energy and loves to fetch, hike, and swim, she has a wonderful intuition for when to give space to other dogs and when to play.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Squamish
Tom has been amazing looking after our Golden Retriever Jasper. He took care of Jasper and our home for a two week period and we got consistent updates and he left the home spotless & very clean. We can strongly recommend Tom to anyone looking for dog care or a house sitter. Thank you, Tom!
Lauren took great care of our dog and house! Our dog is anxious and struggles with reactivity but Lauren was confident handling her and put all of our techniques into practice to care for her needs. She sent us tons of updates with pictures and it was super clear how much love she gave our dog. We came home to a calm, tired dog and a spotless house!
It was the first time we used Rover to book a dog sitter. In the past, we always had friends willing to take our dog for a few days. Hannah came for an introduction visit and right away, we felt our dog would be in good hands whit her. Hannah sent us pictures of Sky and she always looked chilled and well taken car of. We would not hesitate to book Hannah again. Thank you so much.
Fantastic! Came home to a spotless apartment and some pets that were well taken care of. My guys have some high needs and Sara handled the expected and unexpected great. Her communication while I was gone was so reassuring and I loved getting pictures of my guys. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!
We couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our senior dog, Zack! Zack is reactive toward other dogs, so it’s incredibly important that he’s with someone responsible and reliable who understands his needs and makes sure he isn’t put in situations where a dog-to-dog interaction could happen. William was absolutely fantastic. He took such great care of Zack during our 10-day trip, followed his needs carefully, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We also really appreciated the regular photos and updates throughout our trip—it was so reassuring to see Zack happy, comfortable, and well cared for. William was dependable, thoughtful, and clearly cared about Zack’s well-being. We would absolutely trust him with Zack again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter.
I have never used Rover before and am very happy with everything. It was easy to use, the responses were quick and we ended up with a wonderful dog sitter. She came before the visit to meet us and the dog and posted how things were going while we were away. I’d highly recommend Rover and especially Coranne.
Tania was fantastic at caring for our home, dog, and cat during our recent vacation. We highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their home and pets. She communicated well, sending us multiple photos of our animals daily. Tania is friendly, professional, and clearly very dedicated to her work. She was incredibly respectful of our home, and upon our return everything was exactly as we left it. We’ll definitely use her services again.
Ruby took great care of Gus and my home while I was away. She sent regular photos and updates, which made it easy for m bye to relax and enjoy my trip. It was clear Gus settled in well with her and was very comfortable—he looked like one happy camper. I came home to a clean and tidy house, with bedding washed and folded. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed throughout the stay. I would happily book Ruby again and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
I don't think there is a better cat sitter out there! Pei pays such attention to detail. We got a detailed update every day with photos and videos of Walter playing. She even brought toys for him to play with. We would love to have her take care of Walter when we go away in the future.
Nicola came highly recommended by a friend who had used her dog sitting services several times already. She took great care of the pups and house. She sent frequent (adorable!) updates, and the dogs seemed super happy. We came back to the house in great shape. Would definitely have Nicola dog sit again and definitely would recommend.
We were nervous about leaving our pups with Danica (and her partner Jim) as they had never been without us before, and one of our dogs can be challenging to manage (can be reactive, high energy, not keen on having strangers pet her). Danica and Jim patiently won her over and did a great job ensuring both dogs were safe and happy. They kept us updated, and it was wonderful to see the dogs having a good time. Highly recommend!
I can't express how wonderful Cindy was for us. She was set to look after two of our dogs, but the night before the booking started, one of our dogs died. We still had to go and Cindy not only helped us transition, but she was an unbelievable friend to our other dog. We can't thanks Cindy enough. Highly recommend her. Wonderful human and fur family friend. This.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Squamish 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 Squamish 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 Squamish 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
- 88% 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.
