“Absolutely AMAZING. We were very impressed with Ines :) She was punctual, professional and knowledgeable. Our dogs were very comfortable with her and so were we. We would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always had a pet around growing up, and since I’ve started bouncing around BC/other countries, I’ve filled the void by pet sitting, fostering and volunteering. From young pups to old fellas, whether it’s hanging out for just a few hours or recurring visits year after year, I love getting to know new personalities I work 8-4, with the ability to bring a dog into the office (if behaviour allows), or provide them with a safe space to hang through out the day. Outside of work hours, I spend the rest of my time outdoors, hiking and exploring- so giving the pet adequate exercise is not a problem. I have a fenced yard and a single story house. All appliances/storage are pet-proofed so there’s no access to goodies if the pet is curious. Happy to follow any other pet-specific instructions you may have.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all breeds since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family members, as well as my boss, have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I currently work full-time but have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I occasionally have different times available. Every two weeks, I update my calendar, so feel free to look it over! I can keep your pet company with my fenced yard, one happy Frenchie, and one adorable Siamese! If necessary, I can easily crate your dog.
About: With years of assisting a friends dog walking company, I have experience with a wide variety of dogs. I have house sat for a variety of families and couples. I am passionate about animals and providing the appropriate care for your beloved pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, staying active, and creating a calm, loving environment for animals. I have experience caring for animals of different ages and needs, and I prioritize walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining each pet’s regular routine while their owners are away. Always paying close attention to the owners instruction and ensuring I modify my routine to best suit the dog! I am adaptable, energetic and excited to meet your pet!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Terrace is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrace
We had a wonderful first experience with Ines! She was kind, reliable, and very attentive to our cat's needs. She followed all of our instructions carefully and even went above and beyond in the care she provided. She also sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Ines genuinely cared about our cat and her well-being. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend Ines to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terrace on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Terrace 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 Terrace 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 Terrace 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
