“As first time users of Rover, we were pleased that Deborah and Mark immediately accepted our request to take care of Harper, our Golden Retriever, in their home for four hours while we attended a family event. Harper settled right away in their home and fenced backyard, and we felt comfortable leaving him in their care. We were pleased with photos they sent to us during his stay. We would gladly rebook with Deborah & Mark in the future and recommend them to others.”
“Thank you so much Heather for taking such good care of Mia! She has a separation anxiety and I had to leave her at someone's place for the first time. I was worried but she told me 'Dont say goodbye and just leave normally. She will be fine.' and I knew she was in a good hand. She looked after my dog so well throughout the day. My dog can also be anxious around other dogs but her pup also knew it and kept a comfortable distance for Mia while still very friendly to her. She also communicated well with me with photos and updates which I appreciate. I highly recommend her for any dogs that requires loving warm place to stay!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child ( Corgi, Golden Retriever, kangal) and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and working/ volunteering over the years. My availability is 8 am to 6 pm every week. For those pets who boarding in my house, most of time they will be playing with us and they go out and play for half hour every 3 hours. I live in a single house with fenced yard with my wife and my daughter, very loving family, no smoking or vaping or anything that could be harmful to health in the house. I am part time dog care attendant and my wife is a groomer with experience over 10+ years. This is the home you can trust.
“Lu took great care of our dog during our vacation in this area! She sent plenty of pictures and videos, communicated immediately, and worked with our flexing schedule. We were very happy with her!”
About: I worked at animal emerge clinic of the Fraser Valley for almost 4 years and I love taking care of animals and giving them the love that they deserve. I am pretty flexible right now, I start dance again in September so I will update this when I know my schedule a little bit better. BUT just message me and usually I can make it work if I don’t have any other house settings going on. I can be pretty flexible and whatever your needs are for your pets. I will always do my best to make sure your dog is looked after.
“We know she really cares for Kala, and she was very gracious when we asked if she could sit for Kala until 10:30p instead of 10p, since the play we were attending would go longer than we thought.”
“Connie thx for taking such good care of Missy. She knew where she was going once we got to your corner. She was smelling and waging, so excited. I always feel she is safe and happy there. Thx for your reliability.”
“My puppy is plum worn out which is exactly what you want after a day at daycare. Randona and Marcus are lovely people and I felt totally comfortable leaving my puppy with them.”
About: I have 20 years of dog caring experience and raised 2 dogs from puppy to senior. Benny our dog is 9 years old Aussie/Golden Retriever mix, fully vaccinated and plays very well with other dogs. ** I can only take dogs over 60lbs that are gentle and low & moderate energy. I work from home and your fur baby will be well taking care of during the day. I have a pet friendly house with a large fenced backyard. I offer a lot of fun playtimes, 2 walks a day in the neighbourhood and plenty of cuddles. I will treat and care for your pet with love and kindness. I will always consider your way of raising your pet (feeding schedule, treats per day). I will try to keep everything as consistent as possible. Save $20 for your first Rover booking.

“From the moment my dog, Bestie, and I step through the door, we're greeted with such warmth and kindness from Deborah and her furry companions. The environment is perfect for walks, and I've witnessed firsthand the care and attention she gives to him while he's under her watch. After daycare, my dog returns home happy, tired, and thoroughly content, which is all we could ever ask for. Thank you, Deborah, for providing such a wonderful experience for my dog!”
“We were truly glad that we got Abby to watch over our dog for the day. She was attentive and asked questions when in doubt. Our dog came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her. Thank you Abby!”
“Michele is amazing! She is friendly and very thoughtful of what she is doing. My girl is a very shy pup and gets anxiety when alone. But with Michele, she stays home and I don't have to worry about. Definitely recommend Michele 😇”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old — it’s basically been a lifelong part of my life, not just a hobby. Over the years I’ve looked after my own family dogs through every life stage, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and I’ve also regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. Right now I share my home with a senior golden shepherd, so I have hands-on, everyday experience with the specific care senior dogs need — medication schedules, mobility considerations, extra patience, and a lot of gentle attention. If your dog is getting a little older too, you’re in good hands. I have a house with a fully fenced yard, so dogs get safe space to run, sniff, and play without being on a leash the whole time — plus a calm, comfortable home to relax in between activity. What Sets Me Apart ∙ 20+ years of hands-on dog care experience, not just casual pet-sitting ∙ Specialized comfort with senior dogs, including medication administration and mobility needs ∙ Fully fenced yard for safe off-leash play ∙ Currently living with a senior dog myself, so your dog won’t be the only “elder” in the house — mine can even help set a calm example ∙ Experience caring for dogs across all ages and temperaments, from friends’ and family’s pets to my own I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to weave pet care naturally into my day rather than squeezing it into a few rushed windows. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches — I'm around throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, and company. My typical day includes a morning/afternoon walks, regular check-ins and outdoor time throughout the day in the fenced backyard. Since I'm home most of the time, I can also adjust on the fly — accommodating a specific feeding/medication schedule your dog is used to. I also currently care for my own senior dog, so pet care is already a built-in part of my daily rhythm — your dog will simply become part of that routine, not an add-on. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced backyard, so dogs get plenty of secure outdoor time to run, play, and explore without being on a leash the whole time — I keep a close eye on them whenever they're outside. Indoors, your dog will have a calm, comfortable space to relax and be part of the household rather than isolated away. I'm happy to follow whatever setup your dog is used to. I currently live with my own senior golden shepherd, so my home is already a dog-friendly, pet-experienced environment — not a house being adapted for pets, but one built around them. Because of this, I always prefer to schedule a meet and greet before a new dog's first visit. This helps me get familiar with your dog's personality and needs, and just as importantly, makes sure they're comfortable and compatible with my own dog before any stay begins. It's a simple step that helps set both dogs — and you — up for a stress-free experience. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, comfortable managing feeding and medication schedules, and always reachable throughout the day since I work from home. Whether it's a day visit or an overnight stay, I treat every dog in my care with the same patience and attention I'd want for my own.

“Maxine was a great dogsitter! I could tell my senior havanese felt relaxed at her home. She sent pictures and updates letting me know how he was settling in. He isnt always the cuddliest of dogs but he was able to relax in Maxines lap. I would definitely have Maxine dogsit my pup again.”

Maxine was a great dogsitter! I could tell my senior havanese felt relaxed at her home. She sent pictures and updates letting me know how he was settling in. He isnt always the cuddliest of dogs but he was able to relax in Maxines lap. I would definitely have Maxine dogsit my pup again.
Gina took fantastic care of Luca for the day! I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day—it gave me total peace of mind. Luca came home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Gina and look forward to booking with them again!
Erika was absolutely lovely. Detail oriented, gave great updates, sent photos, lots of potty breaks and very attentive. She noticed how Sherru was feeling and helped him feel more comfortable over the stay. She was so flexible and helpful. Will definitely be booking again.
I can’t say enough good things about Debbie and her family. She is compassionate, caring, thoughtful, fun, and energetic. My Corgi puppy, Eleanor, can’t wait to get to the front door when we arrive at her place. Debbie takes Eleanor on walks (she has a nice tree-lined trail by her place), plays with her in the doggy pool when it’s hot, and lets us bring Eleanor’s sandbox to dig in. Her place is clean and organized. She has space to keep Eleanor separate from the cats if she won’t leave them alone, and she has gates to allow Eleanor access to a nice backyard area from the front of her place. Debbie is truly an animal lover. Eleanor gets spoiled with her homemade dog food as a topper on her kibble when she’s there and I feel that she’s in the hands of someone who really cares about her wellbeing. We are so grateful to have found Debbie on Rover. Thank you <3
Xiaoyan was nice! I think it was her and her husband who helped with my pup. He was a little nervous the first time, but was excited to go back the second time! Got lots of updates. The only thing I noticed was that he was still pretty hyper afterward; usually he’s tired after being with a pet sitter.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Walnut Grove commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
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.
