About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds, including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, ferrets, and fish. I currently have a 4 year old husky, a 14 year old orange cat, a 2 year old black cat, and I’ve always grown up with pets! I worked at Bosley’s, giving me hands-on experience with pet care, and I do pet and home sitting frequently. I enjoy jogging, hiking, and walks with dogs, and I’m clean, responsible, and first-aid trained with over 10 years as a lifeguard. With me, your pets will be loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very open schedule and plenty of time to devote to pets. I can provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays if needed. Your pets will receive consistent attention, care, and companionship from me throughout their stay. I do not leave pets in my care alone for longer than four hours, ensuring they have regular supervision, comfort, and support while you are away. I care for pets in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment while respecting your home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality. I’m first-aid trained and very responsible, so you can trust your pets are in good hands, loved, and well looked after.

Marisa did a wonderful job looking after and feeding Ginny. My other cat stayed at the vet due to his health problems and so Ginny was all alone. She spent extra time with her and she seemed very calm and happy when I returned.I would recommend Marisa for cat sitting anytime. Submitted by Sandy

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.

About: Hi there my name is Lucy. I am a Surrey based petsitter who is well trained in the care of many small and large animals. I previously worked on a rescue farm and have owned, fostered, and rescued many pets. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, mice, rats, fish, frogs, ducks, chicken, horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, Guinea pigs, rabbits….! I can clean, feed, medicate and treat your babies with much love! My schedule changes throughout the year- currently open for overnight sittings for between 2-7 day blocks. When I’m back at my regular work schedule I will alter my availability to reflect this (typically unable to provide sitting throughout the day time/week days, but still able for drop in visits and walks in the evenings). I will follow your routine and happy to be flexible. Sleep on the bed, in a crate, potty breaks in the yard/on a walk… you name it. Want updates and photos? No problem :)

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: Currently volunteering at Delta Community Animal Shelter, providing their dogs with enrichment, socializing, and play. I have hands-on experience working with dogs that have a wide range of needs. I specialize in supporting reactive dogs with calm, patient, dog-led care that gives them space to feel safe and understood. My approach is enrichment-based and focused on the individual dog in front of me. I pay attention to body language, the environment, distance from triggers, and what each dog needs that day. I believe walks should be more than exercise. They should help dogs sniff, explore, decompress, and feel more settled. I have experience with large dogs, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs who need slower introductions or extra advocacy on walks. I use positive reinforcement and do not use prong collars, choke chains, or e-collars. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, respected, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. Dogs are already a big part of my daily life. I plan my schedule around dog walks, enrichment, routines, and giving each dog the time and space they need. I only take on pets when I know I can give them calm, focused, reliable care. I treat every dog and home with care and respect. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe. On walks, I’m aware of body language, triggers, leash handling, and surroundings so your dog is never rushed or put into situations they cannot handle.

Samia did such an amazing job looking after my cat whilst I was away for a few days. Knowing she has cats herself, Samia understands how to look after them, knows how to care for them, and gets their little behaviours and personalities. Samia herself is a warm and lovely person, and communication was always so great - especially receiving photos and updates each day…on top of this, also reminding me my fish needed feeding (safe to say thanks to Samia, the fish went without hunger). I will definitely be reaching out to Samia again, thank you so much for being so great 😊

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own—building trust, keeping routines consistent, and ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I know that every cat and dog is unique—some love attention, while others need space and quiet—and I always adapt my care to suit their personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I provide a calm, safe, and enriching environment. For dogs, that can include walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship, while cats can enjoy a relaxed space with attention tailored to their needs. I’m also happy to keep you updated with daily messages and photos, so you always know your fur baby is doing well while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I have dedicated free time each day to provide consistent reliable care. I am flexible with mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I will make sure that each visit is focused on giving your pet the attention they need. I stick closely to their usual routine—mealtimes, walks, play, medications, and bedtime—because I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their humans are away. I make sure the home stays clean and tidy, and I treat the space with respect, just like I would my own. I also keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I’ll always communicate anything out of the ordinary. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, quiet time, or active play, I give them lots of love and attention tailored to their needs. And of course, I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and reassured.

About: Only Accept One Dog at a Time I only welcome one family's dog at a time, allowing me to provide my full attention, personalized care, and a calm, stress-free environment throughout their stay. I've been a dog lover my entire life and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. We live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced backyard in Surrey's Fleetwood neighbourhood, giving dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and relax. Why I Started Rover My beloved dog, Hockey, passed away in June 2025 at the incredible age of 19 years and 11 months. After nearly two decades together, losing him left a huge space in our hearts. Wanting to continue sharing the love and companionship that Hockey brought into our lives, I joined Rover in Aug 2025. Today, we don't have any pets of our own. We're a family of four with two young boys who genuinely love dogs and enjoy welcoming them into our home. I work from home on weekdays, so your dog will rarely be left alone. They'll receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and personalized attention throughout the day. 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: Dogs are the best companions! My family has always held a special place for them in our hearts. Ever since I (Jenzel) was 7 years old, I’ve taken care of our neighbours, friends and family’s dogs, so being around them is second nature. My family and I have owned a golden retriever named Buddy and a yorkie named Mickie. My partner Jomari and I became dog parents to our sweet little girl, Capri; a 2 year old cocker spaniel who we adopted from Nova Scotia. 🥰 Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to manage my own schedule and the time to do what I love! We want to open our doors to care for your dog — whether you’re gone for a trip overseas or a quick getaway, or need a helping hand a few days throughout the week, we’re here to help and spread the love and care that your furry best friend needs.✨ We live in a family friendly neighbourhood and a dog safe home, so we have no doubt your dog will thrive and enjoy their time! Our goal is to make your dog feel at home and give them all the belly rubs they deserve! 🤎

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.

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.

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.

About: Hey, I'm Jen, Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm in Scotland, surrounded by working dogs and all kinds of other animals. This upbringing gave me hands on experience with animals of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments and it’s where my love for animals truly began. I also volunteer at a bird rescue, which I find incredibly rewarding. I moved to Canada in 2012 and fell in love with the outdoor lifestyle and the wonderful pet loving community here in BC. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime in the yard, or just providing calm companionship, I take pride in offering attentive, reliable care to every pet I look after. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have another job but primarily work from home with a flexible schedule. Some days are lighter than others. This gives me plenty of time to care for pets and take them on regular walks. A lot of the time my husband joins me for house sitting, and he shares my passion for animals. I’ve been house sitting for several years and always treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in safe, reliable hands while you're away. I’ve also worked with dogs that required additional care due to illness, so I’m comfortable administering medication and following specific routines when needed. I prefer to do a meet and greet before confirming any bookings. It gives us a chance to connect, helps your pets get familiar with me, and ensures we're the right fit for each other. I have a dog named Toby, who’s a Standard Poodle crossed with a Komondor. He weighs 75 pounds and is a lovable goof with a big personality. Toby is my constant companion and joins me wherever I go. He’s energetic, playful, and very intelligent, having learned many commands through training. We both enjoy going on walks and discovering new places together.

I currently have 4 miniature dachshunds, 1 toy poodle, 2 sugar gliders, and a hedgehog at home. It’s safe to say I am an animal lover!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Surrey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Surrey on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 4,324 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Surrey. About 85% 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Surrey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
