“We had such a great experience with Harmony! Her communication was excellent and we felt she went above and beyond during our dogs drop in visit, taking the time to give him a nice potty break walk and making sure he got plenty of attention. It was clear from her report card how much care she put into the visit. We came home feeling completely reassured that our pup was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Jennifer is exceptional in every way! She is so kind, was flexible with my last minute booking and extensions, and my kitties absolutely LOVED her. Jennifer was excellent with my senior cat who's health needs closer monitoring; she was observent and sent daily updates on how he was doing and if she noticed any changes. I also have a special needs cat (with CH) who needs a bit of extra help sometimes with things sometimes and I could tell from the photos she provided from each visit that he was very trusting of her from the beginning. Jennifer's rates are super competitive and she is a pleasure to deal with. We'll definitely see you again soon, Jennifer! 😺😺😺”

“Hee Jae was wonderful and took great care of my cat. She remembered and followed all of the instructions I had given her, which I really appreciated. During each visit, she took time-lapse videos and sent me lots of videos and updates, so I could feel at ease while I was away from home. I especially loved being able to see videos of my cat whenever I missed him. She was also very punctual, easy to communicate with, and always open and responsive, which made me feel that I could really trust her. I would definitely recommend Hee Jae to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: Only Accept One Dog at a Time Why We Started Rover Our beloved dog, Hockey, passed away in September 2025 at the incredible age of 19 years and 11 months. After nearly two decades together, our home felt empty. We joined Rover because we missed having dogs in our lives. Today, every dog who stays with us is welcomed like family and cared for with the same love, patience, and respect that Hockey inspired. Every dog is different. Before each stay, we take the time to learn about your dog's personality, routines, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. We carefully follow your instructions so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Daily Updates We know you'll miss your furry family member, so we'll send plenty of photos and videos throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind that they're happy, safe, and loved. While you're enjoying your vacation, your dog will be enjoying theirs—a true 5-Star Home Stay & Play experience. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. I’m working from home during weekdays, so your dog will always have company and attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. I make sure they get plenty of exercise each day and am happy to run with them at the nearby soccer field In our home, we care for pets as if they were our own—offering plenty of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. We follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, to keep them comfortable and happy. Outdoor time is always supervised in our little fenced yard, Whether it’s cuddle time or quiet time, we adjust to each dog’s unique needs so they feel right at home.

About: 🏡 STAY & PLAY! Picture your pup curled up on the couch after a good walk, tail thumping, fully at ease — because for the length of their stay, they're the only dog in the house and the only thing on my mind. No competing for attention, no chaos, just consistent one-on-one care from someone who's spent 15+ years loving dogs like family. What Sets Me Apart: • 🐕 All Eyes on Your Pup: No dogs of my own means zero competition for attention, toys, or affection — your dog is the star of the stay, not one of the pack. • 🏢 Calm, Cozy Home Base: My apartment is quiet, comfortable and spacious — no stairs to navigate, no other pets to negotiate, just a relaxed space to settle in and feel safe. • 🌳 Walks They'll Look Forward To: Dog Park just minutes away, and it's part of our daily routine — sniff-heavy strolls, brisk exercise, whatever fits. • 🥎 Off-Leash Fun Nearby: Dog Play area in my building, for fetch, zoomies, and making new friends when they're up for it. • 🐾 I Match Their Energy: Up for a long hike or a lazy cuddle day — I take my cues from your dog, not the other way around. • ❤️ 15+ Years as a Dog Owner: From puppy chaos to senior-dog care, I've been through every stage — nothing rattles me. • 📅 Small, Personal Bookings: I keep my schedule light so I'm never rushing between pups — your dog gets real time, not a time-share. Every dog I care for gets treated like they're already family. I believe a little patience, a lot of walks, and genuine attention go a long way toward a pup feeling at home — even somewhere new. I'm working hybrid and work for home for most of the days and I would have lots of time to play have spend quality time with your pets. I have plenty of space in my apartment and also a huge balcony with high fence and also floor to ceiling windows in my living room. Most of the pets love to sit and enjoy the view outside.

About: Safety-First Sitter | Positive Reinforcement & Reactive Dog Expert Hi! I’ve been a dog lover since childhood, but my love for animals deepened while raising my own hyperactive Golden Retriever. Navigating his energy and growth has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and it’s taught me what it takes to keep a high-energy pup happy and well-adjusted. Why Choose Me? - Safety & Expertise: I am Pet First Aid Certified, giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. - Positive Reinforcement Only: I am a firm advocate for force-free methods. - Reactive Dog Experience: I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and understand how to manage environments to keep them feeling safe and calm. - Flexible WFH Schedule: Since I work from home, I offer high-frequency supervision and can easily adapt to your dog’s specific routine. I also have a passion for pet photography! I love capturing the "paws-itive" moments of our day ! I work from home with a flexible schedule for the most part. I am happy to work with you to schedule my time with your dog My golden retriever is usually off leash at home and has (almost) full access, wherever safe. I have a couple of play pens as well to help manage spaces when needed. My home is extremely puppy proof and therefore extremely safe for any dog. I have a large private yard as well.

“We had a great first meet with Anju, she was calm, patient, and took the time to let Rocco get comfortable at his own pace. Even though Rocco can be a bit feisty and rowdy, she handled him with confidence and kindness. It was clear Anju genuinely cares about dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality. I appreciated her positive attitude and would be happy to have her spend time with Rocco again. Highly recommended!”

About: As a passionate animal lover, I treat your pets like family, ensuring their unique needs are met with patience and care. Drawing on my experience caring for six dogs and three cats, I prioritize a safety-first approach for your pets, your home, and myself. My philosophy is built on presence and stability; therefore, your pets are never left alone while in my care. I provide constant companionship to prevent separation anxiety and ensure their safety, giving them 100% of my attention so they never feel lonely or neglected.
I provide structured exercise tailored to each dog's energy levels, typically recommending 30 to 60-minute walks. I am skilled at handling diverse personalities—building trust with anxious petsthrough a calm environment and using positive reinforcement with high-energy or reactive dogs to maintain safety.
Initial Reach Out: Contact me to discuss your pet's needs and my weekday evening or all-day weekend availability.
The Meet-and-Greet: We’ll schedule a free introductory visit to ensure we are a perfect match and to walk through your pet's specific routine.
Reservation: Once we’re both comfortable, we’ll finalize your dates for a stress-free experience.
To keep you connected, I provide regular text updates and photos. My goal is to create a nurturing, secure space where your pets feel loved until your return, giving you total peace of mind. I am currently working full time for the provincial government therefore I can provide services after 6pm or over the weekend. Look forward to it. I will be attending the home to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals, as well as to confirm that they are properly fed and walked throughout the day.

“Vanessa, did an incredible job watching my cat Benson well I was away. She took lots of photos when she was there and I came back to a happy cat. She truly went above and beyond. She was quick to respond to my messages and the key pickup and drop off was seamless. I would highly recommend Vanessa, I know I plan to rehire her again to watch my cat on my next trip out of town.”

I know how hard it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy. I am confident i will love your dog like my own. I look forward to connecting with you to discuss this further and cannot wait to meet you and your fur-kid. I work from home three days of the week and would be honoured to walk your dog during the day. The weekend is for dog adventures, sniffaris, cuddles or whatever makes your dog happy and comfortable. I will try and keep the daily routine as close to normal for them as possible. The more info you can give me to accomplish this, the better!

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and grew up in a home with multiple pets, so caring for cats and dogs has always been a natural part of my daily routine. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m familiar with different personalities and energy levels, from playful and energetic pets to shy, independent, or older animals that may need a calmer approach. I understand how important it is to be patient and pay attention to each pet’s individual habits, body language, and routine. My neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets when they travel for longer periods of time. During those visits, I help with feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and keeping an eye on their overall well-being. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I treat every pet I care for with the same attention, patience, and affection I would give my own pets. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting, and I can often accommodate different schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and some last-minute requests. I have two friendly cats at home, one is 5 years old and the other is 9 years old. They both have calm and gentle personalities and are used to being around other pets, so they can usually get along well with friendly animals. I always make sure introductions are done slowly and carefully so every pet feels safe and comfortable in the environment. Pets are welcome to relax and make themselves at home. I don’t restrict pets from getting on the bed or furniture, and I enjoy spending plenty of time interacting with them through play, cuddles, and companionship. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so I can adjust my care accordingly. For drop-in visits, I will carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, potty breaks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. I will also check that doors, windows, and gates are secure before leaving. During each visit, I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have 9 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Delta. I have also cared for another dog, including looking after both dogs at the same time in my home. I am comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, including puppies and dogs that need extra attention. I am patient, responsible and attentive to each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and comfort. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. My current schedule is very flexible, as I am currently at home during the week. I can provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I am available for boarding during weekdays and weekends and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I provide a calm, clean and caring home environment where pets can feel comfortable and safe. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, medication when needed, walks, potty breaks and playtime. I will always communicate with pet parents and keep them updated during their pet’s stay.

About: I have been a pet lover and owner my whole life. I have had all kinds of pets like cats, a dog, a bird, fish and hamsters. I have taken care of all of their needs including feeding, walks, companionship, cleaning up after them, bathing, vet visits and more. I am available for all weekdays 9:30am-4: 30pm for "mom hours" while my child is in school. These hours tend to coincide with a lot of peoples working hours while they are not home or available to tend to their pets. And when their pets may need companionship the most which I will be happy to provide. I will work with your homes and pets needs with any needs that they have. For example, if your pet is shy or timid I will work with them to gain my trust and give them space when needed. If your dog does not like to socialize with other dogs I will make sure to keep them away from them. Trust and safety will always come first! Feel free to reach out to me for any questions that you have!

About: I have had a family dog for 4 years and frequently walk him. I trained and taught him how to play fetch as a puppy. He is very energetic and likes to pull on the leash so I’m good with skittish dogs. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available mornings and afternoons Monday through Saturday. I can do evenings as well but prefer daylight hours. I have a medium sized labradoodle at home who loves to play. He has lots of energy and can be a handful so I’ve learned how to be patient with him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Surrey on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per visit. 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 4,277 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Surrey. About 84% of Surrey 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.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

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.

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.

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 Surrey 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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 .
