“Deb was amazing with Tennessee! They got along perfectly. Deb was great to deal with coming to meet Tennessee a couple times before the stay so she was used to her. They played hung out and even a couple head scratches I’m told lol!”
“Michelle was so easy and accommodating to ask for help, I'm really grateful to her readiness and flexibility with her time to help out watch my puppy. She's fast at communication and very easy going, and my boy took to her right away. Very happy to have worked with her and will be very happy to hire for her help again should I need it! Thank you Michelle.”
“We are so grateful we found Aliya! She stayed at our home and took amazing care of Chewy while we were away. From the very beginning, she was friendly, easy to communicate with, and really made us feel at ease. Our boy absolutely adores her—we could tell from the happy updates and photos she sent that he was getting lots of love, attention, and playtime. Coming home to a relaxed, content dog (and a tidy house!) was the best feeling. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can fully trust with our dog and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with Aliya again and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares.”
“Brad was AMAZING staying in my home and taking care of my doggie. It was my first time using Rover app and having anyone other than family watch my dog so I was nervous, but everything went so smoothly!! He updated me a few times a day with messages and pics which was nice to see my dog all cuddled up and enjoying his time!!”
“I am rebooking Kendra because she has been the absolute best cat sitter I have ever come across, I can tell she is dedicated and loving, she sends the absolute best photos and updates! I'm happy to say I come back to a happy and healthy cat ❤️”
“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: I've had chickens, ducks, indoor birds, dogs and cats throughout my life, and understand most animals basic needs as well as how to effectively communicate with/for them and I am capable of accommodating for a variety of pets. :] I'm free most of the time so I'm able to do pretty much any job in my area at anytime and for extended periods, as long as I have proper notice. I have my own cat who I help take care of, but he's also cared for by 3 other people I live with and I work other odd jobs that may come up but generally I am available and I keep my calendar up to date. I can currently only take jobs outside my home, but I understand what it means to respect the privacy and safety of the clients home/household, and how to respect an animals boundaries in terms of meeting new people or experiencing a change in environment. I have had multiple rescue animals, some who were very resistant to certain types of interactions due to trauma with previous owners. I know many animals may experience similar anxieties and I will respect the boundaries of the individual pet, and closely follow the personal care instructions provided by the owner. I am less experienced with animals that have special needs or require medication, but I am happy to learn and accommodate for any pet I can!
“Alison was excellent! She provided 2 1/2 weeks of wonderful in-house care for our 10-year old dog and he still tells us that he misses her! She sent us photos (or videos) and a note daily that reassured us that he was being well looked after during our absence. Many of our neighbours in our doggy neighbourhood have commented that our dog looked happy when out for a walk with Alison! And when we arrived home, he seemed a bit torn between greeting us and leaving Alison’s side! I’m so glad we chose Alison to leave our fur baby with, and hope she’ll be available the next time we manage to get away.”
About: I have dogs of different breeds in my home since I was 7 years old. I have been taking care for dogs of all ages for over 17 years. I work from home 3 days a week, so I am open to come during lunch break or after work, also I often home on the weekend. It depends on the animal. I can take the cage with an animal home. Mostly open to provide service at pet's owner place. Generally cats do not like to be taken to a different home.
“Gaelle looked after our two dogs for a weekend. We came home to two happy dogs! We received many pictures throughout the weekend which was a lovely touch! We wouldn’t hesitate having Gaelle return. 🙂”
“Nasrin was a fantastic sitter for our big dog. He’s sometimes apprehensive with new people, but Nasrin approached with confidence and care. We would recommend Nasrin to anyone who needs pet sitting with a big dog. We look forward to rebooked with her in the future.”
“Iona looked after our pets and home for 2 weeks. She was great; our pets were healthy and happy, our house was spotless, and she communicated regularly. It was good to be on vacation and not have to worry about what was going on back home.”
About: I love animals cats and dogs I don’t think I could ever pick between them. I have been taking care of kids plus pet care since I was 12 and have had animals all my life I can’t wait to meet yours ❤️ I currently work as a waxer in new west. I am looking todo pet care in my free time while I am trying to build up my clientele I love playing and spending time with animals. I hangout with my dog anytime I am in the home and we go on walks and runs throughout the day. He is my pride and joy and I am excited to hangout with your pets
“We were lucky to find Natalie, she was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat, sent many photos and videos and was very clean in our home. From the moment I met her I liked her and so did our cat. I would recommend Natalie to anyone and hope she will let sit for us again!”
“Vivian was incredibly amazing! She loved our dear boy as we do…Very very impressed with her level of compassion & caring for our cat and our house. We will always have her look after our Tristan!🌷”
“Amazing guy!! Went to Mexico and was so worried about leaving my 90 lb reactive dog but Jon was a pro. He stayed over for a week took care of my dog and cat. House was clean and my pets are so happy. Sent me pics and videos so I knew they were good!!! Highly recommend Jon for any pet sitting !”
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Surrey is $50

Abhishek was just wonderful with our puppy Max. I could see from the get go that Max liked him and would have a good time with him. Abhishek was an excellent at meeting all of Max’s puppy needs like frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and naps. Definitely someone you can trust your dog with. I would highly recommend Abhishek as a dog sitter.
We booked Morgan and Roberto to watch our dog Mochi for three weeks while we were away. They provided daily updates and it was quite clear that he was being well cared for and loved. We came home to a happy and healthy pup and a well maintained house. Rest assured that if you book them, your fur baby and home will be in good hands.
Brad was AMAZING staying in my home and taking care of my doggie. It was my first time using Rover app and having anyone other than family watch my dog so I was nervous, but everything went so smoothly!! He updated me a few times a day with messages and pics which was nice to see my dog all cuddled up and enjoying his time!!
Grishma was very responsive and sent me so many pictures during the house sitting stay. She came twice a day for 2 hours at a home and Sent me in depth updates each visit and was very patient! My kitties warmed up to her fast which is a green flag! Definitely using her for a babysitter every time!
I'm so lucky to have Puneet! My fur baby absolutely loves her and I truly appreciate that she spends quality time playing with him, exercising him (he's a big ball of endless energy) and making sure that he's well fed (including treats) and that he's ok before she leaves. She's so accommodating and flexible which I truly appreciate because she genuinely cares and wants to make sure my dog is taken care of (especially the times that I'm really in a bind). She's very knowledgeable and knows how to handle dogs and reads body language very well to anticipate what my dog wants. There isn't anyone else that I would trust with my fur baby. I really appreciate that she responds quickly and she's very patient and understanding with my OCD requests. She even has my dogs morning and evening routine (with many steps) down packed and gives me a detailed breakdown of what they did and how he's doing. She is the best doggysitter that I've ever had and will only go to. She treats each dog she looks after like her own and you can tell that she genuinely loves doing what she does (not just a job or pay cheque). Her knowledge about dogs amazes me and the fact that she's worked with dogs in previous jobs and finished a vet assistant program is impressive and makes me feel comfortable knowing that she would know what to do if something were to ever happen with my dog when I'm not there. I double recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Surrey on Rover is $64.38 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Surrey. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
