About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, walking dogs, pet sitting, feeding cats and peoples birds. I have also had my own pets since I was 5, including dogs, cats, hamsters, and birds. I take great pride in my genuine love and care for animals, and have been called the "animal whisperer" by many people. I have a knack for attracting animals to me because I believe they can understand how deeply I love them all. Whether they are young or seniors, I will take special care depending on their needs or limitations. I am currently taking time off from working in any fasted paced environment, so that I can tailor my schedule to walks, pet care, pet sitting, house sitting, while I enjoy the summer in Squamish. I have lots of availability and a flexible schedule to work around your needs, so you can be worry free while you're at work, away, or also enjoying life. I will cater the experience to the individual pet and their needs. I can handle pets that need to be crated at night, or not. I can handle pets that need strict med schedules, particular feeding needs etc. I have a fenced in backyard, so you can be worry free about your dogs. I am happy to pamper them at your house or mine, so I can accommodate many specific needs and their quirky personalities.

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.

About: I am 30 years old and live in Squamish full time. With 6 years of experience pet/house sitting in the Sea to Sky, I have developed strong relationships with many dog & cat parents. I miss having a dog of my own, so caring for local pets brings me so much joy. I grew up caring for neighbourhood dogs, volunteering at the SPCA and assisting at vet clinics. This experience in animal care exposed me to dogs with challenging behaviours and taught me what’s needed to keep your dog happy and healthy. I am also very active, and would love to take your dog on runs and trail walks. I am willing to adapt to different pet routines and keep your animal company with house sitting services. I love incorporating training techniques and mental stimulation into your dogs care. I am open to caring for all breeds and sizes as well. I am very organized and responsible as a service provider. Walking, playing with and spending time with your dog are my top priorities! I work from home which allows for flexible time to care for your pet(s) and go for mid-day walks. I am happy to provide 2+ walks a day for active dogs. I will not be able to provide care in my own home, but would be happy to do home visits or housesit while you are away, in addition to daily walks.

About: I am a former service puppy raiser of over four years. During this time, I provided puppies with socialization opportunities, enrichment, potty training, crate training, and basic obedience training. I have also worked as a zookeeper and veterinary assistant, providing care to all kinds of wonderful animals! I currently have two cats but miss the companionship of dogs, so I’m looking forward to seeing your furry friends over some walks. I have recently relocated from Vancouver to Squamish for a lifestyle that suits my needs much better. I have transitioned to remote work, which has made my world a lot smaller. I am therefore looking for dog companionship to get outside, explore the surrounding area, and meet new folks in the community. As an experienced dog owner and avid walker, I am especially looking forward to building community with other pet parents and walking your best friend throughout the beautiful trails. I have always loved caring for animals in my personal life and various professional roles. When it comes to dogs, you can often find us outside exploring new environments together. When I was training service puppies, I thoroughly enjoyed having them by my side at all hours of the day and currently have a dog-shaped gap in my life. For cats, I understand that trust often needs to be built and respecting boundaries is an important part of that journey. I have two rescue cats at home that have come a long way, and would love to build relationships with your trusted friend.

About: Hi! I'm 30 years old, I'm located in Squamish. I've been dog-sitting various sizes of dogs from my neighbor for the past 5 years. I have experience volunteering at the SPCA for over 4 years.

I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can normally make time in my day to take care of your pets. The animal will be on a leash at all times unless the yard is fully fenced in. Will follow any direction given by the owner.

About: Hello! I’ve been a dog owner my whole life and I’ve taken care of a range of breeds and temperaments - big, small, rescues with challenging behaviours! As a wildlife biologist, I care deeply about all animals. I make plenty of time in my day to go for walks, have playtime and do regular training with the dogs in my care. If your dog is in my care, I guarantee it will be pampered and spoiled with lots of loving pets and attention! I live moments away from a number of trails, but I can take your lead on whatever makes your pet happy and comfortable! I have a small dog and caring for her is my top priority. I work from home primarily but would not take on caring for your pet if I’m going to be working away. I plan my day around taking my pup out for potty breaks, walks, etc. and I’m delighted to fit another pup in my schedule too! :) I have a small friendly pup to keep your dog company, or I can keep them separate if that’s your preference. I’m a diligent pet owner - I maintain a really tidy home, I watch carefully on walks to ensure they are eating things off the ground (as much as possible!), and I am careful of not leaving doors unsecured or opened as an escape route! I also have small pet stairs leading up to the couch and the bed to ensure minimal jumping off the furniture which can be dangerous (if you prefer your pet to keep the habit of not going on furniture, I can accommodate that too :))

About: Avid lover of animals, I have spent summers with horses, been owner of a dog and 2 cats. I have experience with rescue dogs, as I was walking them for a rescue center, back home in Montreal, Quebec. Lately, I also took care of my friend’s dog for 7 months (24hrs/24) while she was out of the country. Im happy to call Squamish my new home and I would love to contribute to the community. I work remotely on my computer, for Heart & Stroke Foundation. My schedule is Monday to Friday 7AM to 3h30PM so I am flexible to help you out. I am active, positive, considerate, patient and disciplined. If I’m not working, I’m outside, hiking, camping, sailing or skiing. Happy time for me is dog time. Can’t wait to meet your furry friends ! I am free during lunch time to walk 30 to 45 minutes and also after work at 3h30pm. We have the Squamish river near by and the dogos love to discover the trails around. I will send few pictures or videos through the day. I am the kind of person who will ask questions if needed but I’m pretty resourceful. I will share as much possible information requested from the owner if needed.

About: Hi Squamish! I have spent the past couple of years dog walking/dog sitting for friends and family.

About: I am a mom to a very special 11 year old medium sized pup who I have raised since she was a puppy. Through her, I've gained deep experience caring for dogs with sensitivities, anxiety, and reactivity, and I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect for their individual needs. I understand that not all dogs fit the “easygoing” mold, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with pups who need a little extra care and understanding. I also have extensive experience with cats - I grew up with them and have lived in shared spaces with them over the past 8 years. I’m comfortable meeting them where they’re at, whether they’re social, shy, or independent. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being are always my top priority. Please note: My dog, Rylee, is very neutral and impartial with other dogs. If you book boarding, she will be in the home - she is happy to share her space, beds and toys. When booking a walk, please let me know your preference if you'd like your dog to have a 1 on 1 walk or if they wouldn’t mind Rylee joining - I am happy to accommodate either way. I currently work remotely full-time but with a very flexible schedule. I am available for day-time company, lunch time pop ins and/or afternoon or evening walks. I live in an apartment but am in very close proximity to all of the Smoke Bluff trails. I also have a large terrace that is perfect for soaking up the sun.

About: I had a successful positive reinforcement dog training business in Vancouver for several years and now I live in Squamish. I held a CPDT-KA certification which I opted not to renew last year because I no longer teach classes. My dog, Toby, lived a long life as my fur son and he passed in 2024 at the ripe old age of 15. I now have 2 cats to keep me company. I love a long decompression walk with a canine companion. I am also certified in Pet First Aid. I work part time as an EA during the school year and am studying at Capilano University in Squamish to become a teacher. I have a very flexible schedule and the means to travel to do drop ins. I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I love to make them feel calm and happy. I really care about safety and stress management, so I prefer to walk dogs on leash (or a long line) and I usually bring a clicker and a treats so we can build up some positive behaviour.

About: I’m an animal lover and have had many pets throughout my life. Since I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, I love taking care of other people’s animals. Dog sitting is also a great excuse to get outside and enjoy long walks in nature! I’ve been offering dog-sitting services for three years and have cared for around 30 different pets. From small to large dogs, and from calm to energetic. I always make sure to adapt to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am away from home for work Monday to Friday 7:30am to 4pm. I can go for a long walk, hike or run with your pet or when I come home or just rest and cuddle depending on their needs. I am also happy to take them for a nice walk in the morning before I leave. When caring for pets I always adapt to their unique needs. I’m happy to provide plenty of exercise and stimulation for active dogs or create a calm, quiet atmosphere for those who need it. I will follow your instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s usual schedule, including feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved, no matter where they are.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Squamish

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Squamish is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 per visit. 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.

There are 3,524 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Squamish. About 84% of Squamish 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
