“When I used to go on vacation, my dog would stay home depressed. He wouldn’t get off the couch, even around family staying home to take care of him. Now that we hire Deanna, I think he gets more sad when we come home and she goes. It’s nice to be able to leave without feeling anxiety over my house and dog. It’s also nice that the whole family can go without anyone staying to take care of the dog. It makes vacationing even more enjoyable. Deanna really is the best!”
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!
“Elizabeth was excellent - clearly understood the specific needs of our rescue greyhound and we came home to a very calm and happy dog. Elizabeth is friendly, competent and experienced. Highly recommend.”
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.
“Jessica stayed with our senior dog Mable in our home for 5 days while we were out of town. She was attentive, communicated with us well and sent lots of photos. Mable seemed content and was spoiled with fun sniffing games, as an injury kept her from her usual walks. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
“10 STARS!! We recommend Peggie for pet care and house sitting. Peggie is so kind and in sync with our dogs, I could not have hoped for better care. Peggie is tidy and organized, our home was perfectly cared for when we arrived home. I was nervous to leave our dogs for the first time and Peggie put my mind at ease and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos. I appreciated her care for me in this process as well. Peggie won over our nervous dog and was greeted for pets by the end of her stay. A great accomplishment and compliment to Peggie. Peggie’s care for our dogs and rabbits was excellent. (Feeding, cleaning, walking, spending time with them, playing) Moka is a great companion to any pets you have, gentle and a ready to play! Highly recommend Moka as a play date. I have found our dog sitter for any future vacations.”
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.
“Couldn’t have been more fortunate to find Tina available on short notice. Wonderful lady with years of dog experience. Tina bonded with our dog Molly right away. We were able to enjoy our time away worry free knowing Molly was in great hands Highly recommend Tina!”
“Dominique provided a fantastic service. She stayed in my house with my two 18 month old Boston Terriers for 10 days whiIe I was in Mexico . The dogs loved her. She walked them daily and sent me photo and text updates. She left my home in perfect shape and even watered my houseplants. I would thoroughly recommend Dominique and hope to use her services next time I'm away on vacation.”
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.
“We had Morgan house sit and look after our sweet maple who is a mini Australian shepherd. She was absolutely amazing was a great communicator giving us constant updates on how Maple was doing and kept the house neat and tidy for when we arrived back from vacation. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a house sitter or Dog Walker .”
“Iona was amazing! She looked after our dog and 2 cats. We received lots of pictures while we were away and knew they were all getting lots of love and cuddles. Plus the house was super clean when we came home. Would highly recommend!”
“I’m so thankful for Nasrin! I had an unfortunate events come up and she was able to housesit buddy at last minute notice! Over the long weekend, she kept me updated and was always quick to reply. Buddy was so happy playing with Nasrin. Super friendly, super professional. 10/10”
“Ress was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my two large dogs and home for 3 weeks! She handled my German Shepherd’s leash reactivity and separation anxiety very well and was able to adapt to help him adjust to the changes. She had great communication with us and kept us well informed and sent update pictures throughout the sit! I highly recommend and book again!”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful. She provided lots of pictures and updates, and made sure to take extra special care of my cats when they were scared by the new years fireworks. The cats warmed up to her immediately, cuddling and spending time with her. She communicated any hiccups that arose, big or small. She was extremely accommodating in regards to meeting beforehand. She is a genuinely lovely person, and I am so grateful she is the one who took care of my kitties. I will not hesitate to have her take care of my cats in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, including regularly looking after my brother’s pets and raising my own Labrador since he was a puppy. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, and keeping pets comfortable with regular potty breaks and attention. I also completed a Dog Walker Certificate through Good Dog Academy. I treat every pet like family and focus on safe, reliable, and loving care while you’re away. Since I’m retired, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adapt my day around a pet’s routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, feeding times, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize consistency, safety, and giving each pet calm, attentive care that fits their normal habits and energy level. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s normal routine and comfort level. In my home, my dog receive a safe, clean environment with regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of supervision and affection. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual schedule, keep their space tidy, and ensure they feel secure while you’re away. My focus is always on safety, consistency, and treating every pet like family.
“Shantelle was a wonderful pet sitter for our large, reactive German Shepherd/husky mix! She had great communication throughout the stay, gave Roscoe all the exercise, enrichments, and cuddles he needed, and went above and beyond expectations. Would highly recommend Shantelle as a pet sitter and would love to book her again!”
“Samia was great! She watched our dog after a last minute appt in our home with Gizmo, she was attentive, even noticed he had redness on his paw and scheduled a vet appt. Gizmo loved hanging out with her we appreciate the last minute schedule and how kind she was.”
“Natalie was great with Murphy and kept our very social cat happy + loved. She kept me up to date with digital content and left my place near and tidy. I will definitely use her services again.”
“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!”
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.
