About: Animals have been in my life since I was little! From horses, to duckies, cats, doggos you name it. Being able to care for them however I can makes me so content. My last dog I had was 14 and a half and she was my family dog from when I was young and I took care of her solo for the last 8 years of her life and she was my bestest friend. Now I have two kitties I love and care for and am so willing to be able to help and support whoever needs that for their furry friend. :) I'm new to White rock and looking to explore and see what all of the nature has to offer. I love going on walks or down to the beach if your likes to swim. I'm currently very flexible and have open dates as of now. I have two very friendly kitties who are familiar and comfortable with dogs. I have an open concept house on the top floor and have a large fenced back yard with lots of room to run around. I am an organized and clean individual who takes pride in my home and also respectful and tidy when staying in any home that isn't mine.
“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.”
“Isobel did a fantastic job looking after Finn on short notice. She took a genuine interest in his care and provided daily updates. Would recommend Isobel for dog walking or dog sitting.”
“Kylie was fantastic with our dog Casper. She was able to help out with our last minute request, and was an absolute life saver. Great communication, Casper seemed comfortable and happy, and she even went above and beyond with cleaning the house before we got home! 10/10 would highly recommend, thank you Kylie we really appreciated your help :)”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, calm, and observant, and I always take time to learn each pet’s routines and preferences. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and shy animals, and I can provide walks, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and medication under owner instructions. I almost graduate. I only have one course in this semester. Therefore, I have enough time and patience to take care of the dog and cat. Safety is my top priority. I keep dogs on leash during walks unless in a secure enclosed area. I never introduce pets to other animals without permission. I follow all feeding and medication instructions, monitor behavior, and keep clean water available. In the client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure and respect house rules. I send regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.
“Veronika looked after Pippin for ten days over Christmas and New Years while we were out of the country, and we couldn't be happier with her professionalism, communication, and flexibility. We were anxious to find care for our dog after our initial holiday boarding arrangements fell through, and Veronika was incredibly understanding, easygoing, and kind! Veronika provided us with 'customized' care, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing that Pippin was being exercised and adored by Veronika and her girls. Pippin developed a fantastic bond with Veronika while we were away, and we absolutely intend to book with Veronika again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - White Rock
Lucy was amazing. She has a very calm energy which our pets responded to immediately. She was very communicative, sending us pictures of our pets throughout our trip. We came back to a spotless house, happy pets and felt so reassured having her here. I cannot recommend her enough.
This was the first time leaving our 5 month old puppy with a “stranger” but Linden took to Kayla straight away during the meet and greet so I knew I had nothing to worry about. Kayla sent lots of pictures through the day and evening and kept me updated on how he was doing. It was very reassuring and I will definitely book again. Thank you so much Kayla!
Rory is an amazing and very experienced sitter. We were so lucky to find him. He knows dogs. He has a very calm and kind demeanor and our girls love him. He took such good care of our two large dogs (80 and 70 lbs). They went on runs with him, he found a cyst and cleaned it up and monitored it, which was peace of mind. We got daily updates and photos. He took good care of our place while we were gone. We would highly recommend Rory. We will be booking him again in future.
We honestly don’t know what kind of magic Audrey has, but Tucker absolutely loves her. She’s officially been accepted into Tucker’s very exclusive inner circle. If you know Tucker, you know what a big deal that is. He’s a sweet dog, but he’s also an anxious, suspicious little old dachshund who generally isn’t interested in making new (or any…) friends. Somehow Audrey has gone from “stranger danger” to getting kisses, pets-on-demand, and couch cuddles. Every time she sends us updates, my partner and I just stare at each other like, “…who is this dog?” She’s incredibly patient with him and always respectful of his needs and limitations, even when it means spending a day hanging out with a couch potato instead of doing anything remotely exciting. As Tucker gets older and deals with more age-related health issues that limit what he’s able to do for activity, that means so much to us. We trust Audrey completely with our little old man, and Tucker very clearly does too. Honestly, that’s the highest compliment we can give. We’re so grateful we found her!
What can we say. She is an unbelievable dog sitter. Our aussies just loved her. And we are sure the three of them miss her. From there feeding needs to playing ball at 7am, to giving them a bath . Our family loves Stephanie and will definitely have her back next vacation

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in White Rock 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 White Rock 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 White Rock 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.
