“Excellent communication, trustworthy to care for a doggie with needs (ours has to wear a custom orthotic every time she goes for a walk - not the easiest task to get that thing on correctly!) Cares about you and your pup - highly recommend”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.
About: ‼️NOT AVAILABLE || JUNE 6th || JULY18th Hello! I’m very experienced when it comes to our furry friends. I have 10 years of experience with dogs and cats! I am a dedicated and experienced dog sitter who currently owns a Husky (Archie) he’s my 4th husky I’ve owned and He is your typical husky, loud and Dramatic haha.. he loves all dogs no matter the size and breed, he only requires one thing and that’s a friend to play with, he’s also fine giving space to a nervous friend and sticks to his chew toys if needed. I provide excellent care and attention to all furry friends entrusted to me, ensuring their well-being and happiness. I do live in a house with a fully fenced yard and have lots of room for zoomies! I understand some dogs may be anxious so in that case I can provide enough space for them if they need to be the only dog in the house. I do have senior care experience as well. I understand some seniors rather be unbothered or just want to relax. I’m currently available all day everyday, this is my full time job. I have a car so I can definitely move around without no problem. I have enough space for a big doggie. Please note I will need 1-2 days in advance to know if any cancellations will be made or need adjustments I do have extra dog bowls and a kennel. I also have extra yummy treats! Very important thing to note I do have a child of 4 years old. She is aware herself that dogs do need space and that it’s okay if they don’t want to be petted. She is with me at all times but very well with dogs When it comes to walking your furry friend I understand it’s very important to have them sniff around and explore the grass a little. I also understand if your furry friend isn’t the best leash walker I have a husky that teaches me patience everyday haha. For home drop ins to check on your furry friend I will always make sure you know how your furry friend is doing and that they are being taken care of all the time. I don’t mind giving video calls or just check in messages.
“Michaela was flexible, communicative and a good listener, thorough and conscientious. We appreciated knowing that our animals were well cared for while out of town. Highly recommended.”
“We have a very big and anxious dog who is hesitant around new people. This is the second time we had Annabelle watch our dogs and she has been so great with him each time. She is patient and kind and willing to move at his pace. She is also a great communicator and went above and beyond trying to make him comfortable.”
“Jennifer was an amazing cat sitter for my senior kitty! She was able to administer medication and provide lots of pets, snuggles, and love while I was away for a few days! She sent photos and regular updates. Thank you so much 💓”
About: Ive been around small animals for a year now, I would adore to go on walks/adventure with your fur babies! Skills; knows how to feed , clean up after them, brush, give treats and walk for both dogs & cats. I can keep up a fast pace if needed for your small ones!:) I am a college student at Clark college/Wsuv and work part time and study in between those hours, so weekends work best for me! I can get up early for a morning walk or an afternoon jog! For some background information about me! I have worked at a childrens daycare for the past 3 years, keeping your fur babies safe is no challenge to me! I would love to keep your fur babies safe and healthy while you are away! In my own I care for my chickens everyday, check on their health, water and food supply, clean their area and keep them safe when outside!
“Timely, does everything we needed, and goes above and beyond to try to spend time with a shy cat :) Mine refused to come out and greet her but she got me a picture for every visit! Also appreciated her willingness to work with the hassle of getting into and finding a unit in a huge building without us home.”
“Amazing pet sitter! Very attentive to details and communicating! She made sure that Bravo was well fed and taken care of! Would highly recommend to anyone needing their pets taken care of”
“Another great drop in visits from Lisa. She clearly communicated the time and sent lots of pictures of our cats and their automatic feeder showing all is good. She shares updates the make it clear she knows our cats personalities. We highly recommend Lisa!”
“Marissa is a fantastic pet sitter. My cats adore her and she gives them so much attention on her visits. I am always so excited to see her photo updates. My cats are not overly high-need, but she does a great job making sure their food is full, their water is fresh, and their litter boxed is cleaned. Marissa is very easy to communicate with and someone I absolutely trust with my pets. I have so much peace of mind knowing she will be there to take care of my best buds when I am out of town.”
“My boys did great with Madelyn and are so excited to have her back! 😄 She is super communicative and sweet and takes the time to get to know your fur babies and respects their personalities. She is wonderful!!!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember (I’ve been sneaking animals in my home since I was in diapers😌), and being around them truly makes me happiest. I’m incredibly empathetic toward animals (I don’t even kill bugs!), so every pet in my care is treated with gentleness, patience, and genuine love. The dogs in my photos are my beloved old pups (Milo the Golden Retriever and Yoshi the Shih Tzu) Milo was 8wks when I got him and Yoshi was 5wks — I don’t currently have any dogs, but I do have two friendly cats at home. Lucy my tiny little black cat🖤 and Foggy my orange menace 🧡 (both rescues) I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs over the years, from large breeds like Dobermans to small breeds like Shih Tzus. I’ve also had cats my entire life so growing up half my cats were kitties I found, some even needing bottle feeding. I'm comfortable with all things feline — from playful kittens to independent seniors. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, birds, and many other kinds of pets throughout my life. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for like family. 💛 Haaay! 🌾 *ba-dum tss* As you see being a stand up comedian wasn’t my calling so here I am 🥲 My name is way too long so I just go by Mari I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of free time and even more love to give your fur babies! I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom! 😎 I currently live in Vancouver, Being home most of the day means I can give your pet plenty of attention, care, and one-on-one time. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays from 7am–4pm and Sundays from 7am–1pm, with flexibility whenever possible to help fit your schedule (I remember how hard it was finding help when I had my pups and ended up taking them to work with me) Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, a potty break, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to help! We will spend much time out exploring, enjoying fresh air, getting in plenty of movement and mental stimulation. Walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor adventures are very important to me in order to keep a pup happy and healthy! I’d love to be your fur baby’s (and yours!) new friend and help make their day (also yours!😌) a little brighter!✨🐾🩷 Expect lots of cute photos and videos so you can see your fur baby’s enjoying every walk, play session, and cuddle break.📸 Your fur baby's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — they’ll get plenty of love, cuddles, and care, and will feel right at home!🩷

First Place pet parents share their Rover experiences
Linnea is absolutely wonderful taking care of my cat - and great communicating how Frodo is doing, including multiple photos. Nice to have someone so reliable and responsible care for my pet - and have him be happy, calm and obviously taken care of as if a family member.
Victoria did an absolutely amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She made sure they received plenty of play time and pets, and even went above and beyond by returning to our home after her visit with them ended when their automatic feeders stopped working. I highly recommend Victoria as a sitter and will absolutely be booking her again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our kitties while we were away!
Annabelle was comforting, patient and kind to our senior pup! He can take a while to warm up to people, but she did a great job making him feel comfortable during her drop ins with him. Definitely will book with her in the future and am excited/reassured for our booked house sitting with her!
Taking a chance on someone new can be nerve-wracking, but she was truly a blessing! She went above and beyond in every way and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She sent so many pictures and updates, which gave us such peace of mind, and it was clear our pet was getting lots of love and attention. She was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and reliable—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely be using her again!
Megan has been amazing!! She has taken such good care of my two shepherd mixes and our new tiny puppy. She took the time to play with each of them, tidy up the puppy’s playpen, and took out one of her chew rings when she saw that Penny could possibly choke on it. Thank you for taking care of all our fur babies! 🩷
Maddie was absolutely great with our 3 dogs!! She was very responsive, attentive, and super flexible with our last minute dog-sitters falling through. The boys absolutely loved her and I'm sure they will be seeing much more of her when we're in need of a sitter!!! Thank you again!!!
