“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!”

“I came home to happy dogs and a clean house. She does a better job of cleaning the kitchen sink than I do! I am very happy with Darlee and I don't hesitate to recommend her. I am sure that Talia and Onyx agree with that recommendation!”

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.
“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.”

“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!🌷”

“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.”

“We appreciated that Zara took the time to meet Gus and get to know his routines and personality at home before staying with him! You could tell right away that Zara was patient and kind. Gus and Zara became fast friends! Zara took great care of Gus and our home while we were away. We loved receiving pics of Gus playing and enjoying his time with Zara during our trip.”

“Michele was wonderful and everything went perfectly. Michele sent pictures of the walks and kept me informed at all times. Great communication and prompt in our initial meet. My first experience using Rover and was a great siccess”


“Alejandra was great! She accommodated a meet up prior to the stay to meet my dog Bear and myself. I haven’t had someone stay at my home before to watch my dog so I was a little nervous at first. Alejandra provided many updates over the 2 days which kept my mind at ease. She left my apartment clean and tidy. I would have her stay over and provide pet care again. Happy to have found a reliable and trustworthy person to take care of my fur baby.”

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 pet sitting, 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.
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.
“My family dog loved Feena! He deals with anxiety and she made him feel so comfortable, took him on lots of walks, and gave him lots of love when I was away. Feena is very professional and thorough and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker, sitter, and etc.”

About: I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, providing loving, attentive care so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have experience with senior and medically complex dogs as well as reactive dogs and puppies Pet care is my full-time job, so my days are dedicated to the animals in my care. I have the flexibility to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and attention throughout the day, while keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and respect your home and privacy. Building trust with both you and your pet is always my priority.
“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!”

“Cara did a fantastic job taking care of our two babies (cats). Both animals required brief visits to the vet and Cara managed these adventures smoothly. She also assisted us with other issues while we were away. Our home looked much better on return than it did on departure. We were concerned our cats would pack their little bags and move to Cara's home on our return. Cara is a wonderful find and we have absolute confidence in her.”

“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.”

“I highly recommend Lizeth as a pet sitter. She recently cared for my two 15-year-old senior cats, one of whom has special needs, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Throughout my time away, she provided frequent updates with photos and videos, followed all care instructions precisely, administered medication reliably, and spent time playing and cuddling with them. She also left my home spotless. Knowing my cats were in such great hands gave me complete peace of mind. I will definitely book her again and recommend her without hesitation.”

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!

Gustavo was a fantastic choice for looking after our pets and home for a multi-day trip away. He is a considerate, kind and responsible person that has earned my trust. The furry creatures love to see him and also my temperamental plants survived as bonus... haha. Would definitely book again in the future. Thanks Gustavo!

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
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
- 91% 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.
