“We had such a great experience with Jasleen 😊 She watched our dogs 6 times this past week and took wonderful care of them. Our dogs absolutely loved her and were so happy and comfortable with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was caring, reliable, and attentive. We really appreciate everything she did for our fur babies. We will definitely be booking with Jasleen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 😊😊”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of critters! Growing up with birds, cats, dogs and even monkeys has given me deep love for animals. I've dog-sat for friends, families and neighbors, and I'm ready to do it for you! I'm currently in school full-time, and a majority of my schooling is online. I'm very flexibile on weekdays, but weekends may have to be booked further in advance. I will come to your home and treat it with the same care I do my home. Cleanliness is very important to me. I will also keep up with all training regimens and dietary guidelines you provide for your pet!

“Kendra went above and beyond to care for my senior dog. When a concern arose, she problem solved and communicated with me regularly and clearly. She put significant time and effort into making sure he was well cared for when he developed an issue during her stay with him. I can’t thank her enough for looking after my dog so well. I also came back to a house that was just as I’d left it (maybe even cleaner!).”

“Samia was wonderful with my Senior Chihuahua. Zoey takes a few medications and is a very tiny dog with special attention needs and our experience was excellent. Samia stayed at the house and communicated with us daily. She provided pictures and experiences that gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Hannah was a wonderful sitter! There was a little bit of a miscommunication at the beginning but she was able to help me get it sorted. As someone who doesn’t usually leave their pet with a sitter, I was happy to see that my bunny was well cared for! Hannah was great at keeping me updated with photos and messaging me if I needed something to be done. Thanks Hannah!”

About: Hi, I’m Ashana! I am a recently graduated university student with a flexible schedule to dedicate time and attention to your pets. Whether that is a midday walk, playtime, or a drop in I am here to make sure your pet feels loved. I have an active lifestyle and love being outside, so I am more than happy for taking high energy dogs on long walks to burn off steam. I am also incredibly detail-oriented and observant, so I will closely follow any specific feeding routines, medication schedules, or other rules in place. I have grown up with dogs and cats of my own and family members and have lots of experience with taking care of animals of all kinds! Leaving your furry family member at home can be stressful, so I will send detailed updates and photos so you know they are in great hands! I hope to meet you and your pets! I currently am working from home and in between roles at the moment so I am flexible with different times for pet care! I will have plenty of time to do drop in visits, midday walks, or pet play time. I can coordinate schedules based on need for daily or weekly needs. I no longer have my own pet in my own home but have plenty of dog toys and dog beds. Our backyard is gated and fenced for plenty of space to run around! I am comfortable caring for dogs and ensuring they have an enriched time!

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: I’ve had, cared for, and loved cats and dogs my whole life. I have provided dog and cat sitting on another app, and to neighbours and friends. I’m experienced with puppies and kittens, the special needs of elderly pets, and I know how to administer medications and give the best attention and love to your furry family members. I currently am working with a flexible schedule, my office is located in Coquitlam and I live in Langley Township. I can bookend my days with drop in visits or overnight stays. This flexibility enables me to provide care whenever needed. I am able to build my schedule to suit your and your pet’s needs. I wish to provide your pets the best of care - learning their personalities and special quirks. I will follow your instructions and will provide updates as requested so that you know they are happy. I want them to feel comfortable and cared for like they were my own. I will spoil them with lots of love, treats, and attention! I have 2 senior kitties of my own, who I spend time every day playing with and giving them lots of affection, ensuring they are getting enough enrichment and attention. I’ve owned around 10 dogs throughout my life, and I love to take them on long walks and spend time playing with them. While I can’t have a dog of my own at the moment, I’m excited about the opportunity to become friends with yours!

“Hong was an absolutely wonderful pet-sitter for our two senior kitties! I'm always a little nervous leaving them alone given that they have some health issues, but I had no reason to be. He managed multiple medicines (including insulin), and was even able to pop one of our boys out to a scheduled vet check-up. He was great with sending daily updates and check in, and lots of cute photos too. Left the house in perfect condition after he left as well (and left some super cute artwork of the boys)! I would absolutely recommend him, and would not hesitate to rebook again, especially if we have any longer trips.”

About: I've had a dog when I was a child. And currently I'm a sheep adopted by my cutest Mini Aussie who just turned 1. I can promise you one thing your dog will be taken care of. I work as a software engineer and mostly from home. I have time during the morning, during my lunch breaks and after 5.

We have a fenced yard at our home. And a good trail nearby. We have multiple dog parks nearby if you want we can take your dog at the dog park as well. I would love to have a meeting with you and your dog before boarding to understand your dogs need and see that he does well with our dog keeping both of our dogs safety a priority. Our dog is allowed everywhere in the house no restrictions. So will be yours.

She was flexible, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure all of our pets were well cared for. She kept us updated with regular messages and pictures while we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, our home was clean and tidy. We would absolutely recommend Natalie and would happily have her care for our pets again!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and neighbors with dog sitting and walking, and it’s something I truly love doing. I’m excited to turn that passion into a side hustle where I can care for pets while helping owners feel at ease. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to every dog’s personality and needs — whether that means going for walks, playtime, keeping routines consistent, or simply giving them company and care while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I’d also be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your pet can feel completely comfortable before booking. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work full-time as a IT engineer, and most of my work is remote, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable with both pet sitting at your home and regular drop-ins or walks, while still maintaining a reliable routine for your dog. I also have my own vehicle, so getting around for walks, visits, or overnight stays is easy for me across the Metro Vancouver area, preferably Surrey and new west I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I kindly ask for around 3 days’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule properly and give your pet the attention they deserve. I am someone who values responsibility and consistency, and I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of 4 of my own pets until they passed over. When I pet sit, they take my entire attention. I love to play fetch, or any games they want to play. House sitting, water plants, tidy house. I am retired, so I have time on my hands and love cats and dogs. I have pet sat for 15 plus years. All by the way of word of mouth. I always keep dogs on a leach when outside. While I have a yard, it is hedged but not gated. Ensure pets are fed on time. I make sure there they have fresh water for their bowls. As well I ensure they are comfortable at bed time. I clean their indoor papers or clean outside following each toilet times.

“Debbie took such great care of our anxious little spaniel, and totally won him over too. She sent us great detailed updates with photos each day, and it was clear how much care and attention she paid to him while we were gone. She handled giving him medications and 4 walks a day, and was able to be with him the whole time. It was nerve-racking setting our dog up with a stranger for the first time, but it's clear Debbie adores animals. We're so glad we picked her! She also left our apartment so clean and even did laundry and made the bed, which was totally unexpected and lovely of her. We would totally book Debbie again!”

Kendra was great with our two dogs! She sent pictures everyday, took my one very active dog for 3 very long walks a day. It was the first time we have left our dogs with someone and we will be able to do it again knowing they will be so well taken care of!

Sara has been walking my two dogs for a couple of years. They love it when she comes and takes them on walks. We had Sara house sit and look after the dogs for a week. It was very comforting to know she was looking after our home and pets while we were away. We had photos and a write up on how every day went. She did an amazing job of looking after our dogs. She also did an amazing job of doing the laundry of sheets and towels. Dishwasher was empty there was no dog hair to be seen and we have very hairy dogs. I highly recommend Sara. A great personality and easy to get on with.👍

Hands down the best sitter we have ever had! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Madi was absolutely amazing looking after our English Bulldog, Luna! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that Luna was being well cared for, getting lots of love, attention, and playtime, and we could tell she was genuinely happy. Knowing Luna was in such good hands was such a relief and allowed us to truly enjoy our time away without worrying about her. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend Madi to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Madi, for taking such wonderful care of our girl!

FAQs for House Sitting - Surrey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Surrey is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $89 per night. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 3,105 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Surrey. About 84% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Surrey 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 Surrey 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 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!

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
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
