“Emerson house sat for us and was fantastic from start to finish! She communicates well and is very accommodating. Our dog Toby was so comfortable and relaxed with her. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup! We will definitely reach out to rebook for future trips. Thanks Emerson!”
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!
“Darlee took amazing care of our home and cats while we were away. Both cats are seniors and need frequent wet food feedings as well as one is diabetic and needs oral medication at set times. They are very needy needing lots of attention and when we got home they seemed perky and happy. She took great care of them, communicated well, and left the home in a very clean shape even putting her bedding in washer before she left. We were very impressed.”
“Was so pleased with Michele ! She came on very short notice and was so considerate and loving towards Floopy. I couldn’t have asked for a better in home sitter. Floopy was super playful when I got home and everything had gone smoothly with the stay. Followed Floopys routine and sent many photos and stories about their day. I can’t wait to have her babysit again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. Raising my own reactive quarantine pup taught me patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. I helped her become calmer and more comfortable around people, animals, and busy environments through consistent socialization and exposure training. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique personality and committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. I am currently working part-time while focusing on online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by owners. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention while in my care.
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. Due to the flexibility of my job I am able to be flexible with the schedule I have an intact Mini Aussie who loves playing with other dogs at the dog park. He is a cutest and gentlest boy ever. 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.
“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.”
“Nasrin was fantastic with my dog, Stella! She was sweet, caring, and kept me updated with photos and videos throughout my trip, which I loved. Stella clearly had a wonderful time with her. Nasrin was also incredibly accommodating when my travel plans were delayed because of weather. I would absolutely trust her with Stella again and highly recommend her! 🐾💕”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicole, and I'm a 38-year-old Etsy shop owner in Maple Ridge. I've had family dogs my entire life, ranging from 8-25 lbs. And my wife, Nikki, and I have been sharing full-time Dog Mom duties for over 5 years. In October 2025, we lost our good boy, Eddie, after a long decline during which I learned to comfortably administer insulin. Now, our sweet rescue girl, Moxy (age 9 or 10), has no fur friends to spend time with. While not required, I prefer to care for dogs who are comfortable with Moxy tagging along for walks and house-sits. She is a well behaved, house-trained, 9-year-old Maltese-Mini Schnauzer mix who is, as we like to say, "just happy to be there." She is good with most dogs, but becomes avoidant of dogs who get overly excited and rough. She plays very gently. I am available for dog walks, drop ins or day sits anytime after 9am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Thursdays are my focused work days, so I am only available after 5pm. I am also available for pet sitting any day of the week, as long as your pets are able to be left alone for up to 4 hours per day on weekdays. For new clients, I would like to schedule an in person meet-and-greet to ensure we are a good fit for each other. If you’re interested, please send a message with details about your pets and desired services. I'm happy to answer any questions :) Thanks!! WALKING + DROP INS + DAY SITS I am available for dog walks, drop ins or day sits anytime after 9am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Thursdays are my focused work days, so I am only available after 5pm. **I usually take an hour during Mon/Thurs to take our dog, Moxy, for a walk, so I have room for 1 more doggo to join us during those days. HOUSE-SITTING: I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I’m happy to water your plants and bring in the mail, and I will of course tidy up to ensure you can't even tell I was there. I can provide you with frequent updates, along with cute photos and videos so you can feel assured that your pets are well cared for. I work from home, meaning your pets will rarely be alone. They will get walks, belly rubs, potty breaks, and play time as desired. My work schedule is mostly flexible, allowing me to give your dog or cat plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My job requires about 15 hours per week of focused time spent at my home office. That work is usually done on Mondays and Thursdays, however, I can spread it out over the week to decrease the time that I'd need to be away from your pets if your trip falls on those days. You know your pet(s) best, so we can discuss the preferred way for me to accommodate them. Please let me know if you're comfortable with our well-behaved, house-trained, small dog Moxy visiting your house or joining for walks with your dog(s). She'd love the socialization. But if it's a no, that's okay. Please note, I am not comfortable caring for pets who: - cannot be left alone - fight to receive required medication - are not spayed/neutered - are aggressive - are incontinent - are fully blind - are likely to require multiple bathroom breaks overnight - are over 40 lbs (unless they are calm/not jumpy and good on a leash). At this time, I'm not able to board pets at our home, but I'm happy to come spend time with your pets in the comfort of their home.
About: I’ve had cats all my life and grew up with a childhood dog, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Being an empath, I naturally tune into an animal's mood and energy, allowing me to quickly read subtle stress cues and give anxious, shy, or rescue pets the quiet patience they need to feel safe. Over 10+ years of animal love, I’ve handled everything from high energy dogs that need structured, active exercise to senior pups needing slow, gentle walks and joint support. I can manage strict feeding schedules, oral medication, and daily litter duty, making sure your pet’s routine stays smooth, comfortable, and completely stress free! ✨My primary focus is house sitting, ensuring your pets get dedicated, round the clock comfort in their own home. I am also happy to take on drop ins and walks upon request outside of house sitting bookings!✨ Why owners trust me with their pets: •Specialized Care: Trained and certified Pet First Aid & CPR for both dogs and cats, ensuring your pet is in safe, prepared hands. •Attentive & Safety Minded: I'm hyper aware on walks.. watching traffic, reading dog body language, and keeping a close eye out for environmental triggers or hazards. For indoor cats, I make sure double doors, windows, and quick escape routes are always secure before opening a thing. •Consistent Photo Updates: You'll always get photos and a clear update on how the visit went, so you never have to worry while you're away. •Proven Experience: I run a pet care business outside of rover 🫶🏻 and used Rover back in 2024–2025. After taking a short step back, I’m fully back and bringing that same reliable, professional care to every visit. ⭐️PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING⭐️ I work part-time 3 days a week (8 hour shifts), which leaves the rest of my day and week wide open for pet care. When house sitting, I treat it just like living there! following your pet’s exact daily routine, hanging out at your place, and making sure they have company so they barely notice you're gone. ⭐️Please note: Because of my work schedule, I am unable to accept pets that require 24/7 constant care⭐️ I’m always super mindful of safety. On walks, I keep dogs on a firm leash and stay aware of our surroundings. Inside the house, I double check that doors, windows, and gates are fully secured before leaving or turning in for the night. I know how important peace of mind is, so I'll always leave your home tidy and send frequent updates so you never have to worry.
“Morgan is the most amazing sitter I ever wished for. Her care of my needy older dog was out of this world. She cared and loved him exactly as I do. I never worried about him a second when I was away for 21 days knowing he was in excellent hands. The house was spotless as well when we returned. She is the best sitter ever. I will absolutely ask her to care for Milo again and again. .”
“Omg, Viktoriia was amazing!. Very hard to find a new person for our animals and trust with our home. She stayed at our home for 2 weeks and almost daily we would get pictures, videos and updates of our animals and kept our home so clean even doing bedding daundry. More than impressed. Also was happy that if she had questions l, she was not shy to ask. Made me feel more comfortable with the care she was giving. Anyone would be lucky to have her. Would for sure use her services again.”
About: With 15 years of experience, I’ve owned two 150 lb Alaskan Malamutes with aggressive tendencies, so I’m confident handling large breeds with challenging personalities. I also raised my Shih Tzu from 8 weeks to 17 years old, caring for him through blindness and old age. I’m a fitness lover who thrives outdoors, and I always down for fun adventures with your furry friends 🙂↕️ Whether your pet is big, small, energetic, elderly, or needs a little extra patience, I love them all and genuinely enjoy their company I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pets throughout the day. I can provide frequent company, regular outdoor breaks, walks, exercise, and lots of attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I love being outdoors and staying active, so I’m happy to tailor our days to your pet’s individual needs, energy level, and routine I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, exercise, and bedtime routine while providing plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. My goal is to keep their environment stress-free and their routine as normal as possible while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands!
“Natalie is a top tier pet sitter! So happy I booked with her, she was responsive and great at sending photos. She not only took exceptional care of our cat Winston, she left our place spotless. I have come home from a two week vacation, to a happy and very well looked after cat! So so so pleased with the care Natalie provided.”
“Lori came for the second stay for 5 days. My dogs LOVE her. Lori was quick to respond to my texts, she kept me informed and asked appropriate questions. My house was neat and tidy and I look forward to our next scheduled visit with Lori in a couple weeks.”
“Zoe was an excellent house and pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and Tycho and Kitty keeping everything tidy and our pets happy and relaxed. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos while we were away — it gave us peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. The house was spotless when we returned, and our pets clearly were comfortable with her. We’d absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter, and we’d be happy to have her back anytime!”
“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.”
“Hong is incredible with our 9-week old puppy. He’s gentle, patient, and provides detailed updates to ensure that we’re well informed of our puppy’s wellbeing while we’re away. We are so happy to have Hong as our repeat sitter for Benji!”
About: I have worked at a rescue, as well as in ER/ICU. Those jobs have given me hands on experience for giving oral/injectable medicine, as well as what to do in emergencies. I am very interested in dog training and behaviour, and firmly believe in fear free approaches. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and know how to handle any temperament or size. I have also worked with guinea pigs, rabbits, birds (large and small), mice, and reptiles. Legal name is Marina for Rover but I go by Spencer Rover is my full time work, so I am available for whenever needed, barring overlapping visits. I am able to go between houses during the day. I will adhere to instructions left by owner(s), as well as respect that I am in your home. I will make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable, and like they have an extra friend to help them while you are away.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Walnut Grove is $55

Emerson was so patient with my rescue dog that takes a LONG time to trust new people. We had a few gradual introductions before a 2 week house sit, and although it seemed hopeless at first, Emerson persisted in building the relationship. My 2 dogs both fell in love with her, and I felt so comfortable having her in our home watching my babies. They received lots of love and attention, and I received regular updates. They will be excited to see her again!
We couldn’t be happier with Angela looking after our two dogs while we were away in Ireland for 10 days. She was professional, caring and had an excellent manner with both of them. She followed all instructions and kept us updated with pictures. The dogs looked relaxed and content in her care which was very reassuring. When we returned the house was clean and everything was in order. We would use Angela again in heartbeat and highly recommend her!! Thanks again Angela!! - The Long Family
Karen is truly wonderful! She’s now helped me with my two golden retrievers several times, including a last minute request for house sitting most recently. She helped me out in a pinch and I can’t thank her enough! She was incredibly flexible, compassionate, and I knew I could trust her to care for Bodi and Lilo and give them lots of love. She respected their routines, followed all my instructions, and provided lots of updates. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much Karen!
Braden housesat and looked after my 6 month old puppy Remy for almost nine days. It was a pleasure to come home to a clean house and a happy puppy. Braden took the time to launder sheets and towels and clean up before I arrived. Remy is an energetic puppy that required ongoing potty training and a consistent routine. Thank you, Braden, for taking such good care of him. I would recommend Braden for your pet sitting needs!
We are so lucky to have found Sophie!! She stayed with our pup Chevy for 2 weeks while we were away. She took care of our home as if it was hers, but more importantly she loved our dog, took him on many outings and hikes, made sure she was at home with him as much as possible and bonded strongly with him. We cannot recommend her more strongly. Can’t wait until she can come back
Another wonderful stay for Cosmo and Leo with Vivian! This isn’t the first time she’s cared for them, and once again, she went above and beyond. Although I had booked morning drop-in visits, she thoughtfully came back in the afternoon to check on them so they wouldn’t feel alone for too long. She even gifted them an interactive toy that they absolutely love! I’m so grateful for Vivian’s thoughtfulness, reliability, and genuine love for my kitties.
It was our first time using the Rover app and having a stranger take care of our precious pup in our home. We were extremely worried and didn’t know what to expect. Finn was a wonderful dog sitter for our English Bulldog. He came for a visit before we left on our vacation and was extremely polite and friendly. Our dog loved him from the moment he met him. Finn welcomed his affection and connected within seconds. This gave us a lot of comfort knowing our pup really liked him, which isn’t always the case for him. We also loved knowing that Finn worked as a vet assistant, as our dog has some medical needs. We knew we were leaving him in good hands as he had the knowledge and expertise to take care of all of his needs. While we were away, Finn sent cute pictures of our pup, along with detailed updates about his day. He even reached out to ask if we wanted more updates. We felt that was a very thoughtful gesture. Finn was also extremely quick to respond to our messages, which also put our mind at ease. While we were away, there was a mini heat wave at home. Finn took caution to take him out only when the temperatures were cool as he’s extremely sensitive to heat. Finn also told us the AC was keeping the house very cool which was also comforting for us to know. We left snacks, drinks, and other items for Finn, but he barely took anything. He did not leave a dish in the sink, and the house was in the same condition in which we left it, which was super clean! He didn’t even leave any garbage in the garbage can. In fact, Finn even took the time to water my plants and flowers. He went above and beyond in so many ways. He also went as far as fixing our fire alarm malfunction for us. We are truly grateful for everything he did for our pup and for us. When we arrived at home, Finn was smiling away and so was our pup. We could tell they had a great time playing and going for walks together. We know our pup will miss him! Finn left us a thank you note, and left another for our son, thanking him for letting him use his bed while he stayed at our place. How sweet is that? We look forward to booking Finn again. We hope you consider booking him too because he did a Finn-tastic job! (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself!) Honestly, Finn will take good care of your pup, and your home if you need the same support as us. Thank you Finn! You did an outstanding job taking care of our sweet pup and our home! Thank you for loving our pup as much as we do❤️
Taylor went beyond our expectations and made herself available to meet our little 9 pound poodle a few times before we left for our week holiday. At first out little guy was reserved and hesitant but he was very comfortable with Taylor by the time we left and was cuddling up beside her as soon as we walked out the door. He was happy to see us on our return but Taylor is now his new favourite friend. We would not hesitate to have her look after him again and we know he would be happy to see her.
Katelyn was wonderful! She was responsive and kept me updated throughout Kazoo’s stay. She spent lots of time playing with Kazoo and suggested fun, creative enrichment ideas (like using an empty Gatorade bottle as a toy!). Kazoo had just started two new medications that night, and Katelyn followed all the instructions. I felt confident that she was keeping my puppy safe, happy, and well cared for. Overall, I was really impressed and so grateful. I would absolutely book with her again!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Walnut Grove 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 Walnut Grove 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 Walnut Grove 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
- 95% 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.
