“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”

“I wasn't there for the stay, but my dog gave Bianca 5/5 stars. Really felt confident and at ease leaving my pup with her. She was very flexible, and communication was on point. Her daily updates were awesome. I will be thinking about her whenever I need a sitter again!”

I’m so glad we came across Monica’s profile. Arthur can be reactive and high energy, and stubborn, and she managed wonderfully and he had an amazing time. Would highly recommend her and hopefully will get the chance to have Arthur in her care again. Thank you Monica - and for the updates and photos!!”

“Brittney was fantastic! She communicated well, followed all instructions and requests, and most of all my cats liked her. She spent time to play with and groom them and clearly loves animals. There was even a little mess while I was away and Brittney wasn’t fazed. She informed me, made sure she knew how to handle it, and took care of everything. Would highly recommend!”
“We’re happy we booked Anna Maria again to visit our elderly cat while we were away. She came twice a day and made sure meds were served and the cat was given attention and treats. We received notes and pictures from each visit. Anna Maria is very communicative, reliable and responsive. Glad she was available on short notice.”
“Kirstin is amazing!! She is fantastic with my babies and they are always well taken care of. She always goes over and above, I would 1000% recommend her to take care of your babies, if you want someone to care for them in the same way you would! I can't recommend her enough.”
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing and most definitely a cat whisperer! Our dear cat is very nervous and shy but Jennifer had her feeling so safe and comfortable. Jennifer was able to offer such generous care and updates to us, navigate our cat's medication and made sure she was safe during a heat wave! Above all Jennifer is simply a kind and thoughtful person and we are very grateful to have had her to look after our cat. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough!”
About: I have experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from outgoing supervisors to quiet observers. I focus on calm, routine-based care and take the time to let cats set the pace. I’m comfortable administering medications, keeping litter boxes very clean, and following detailed care instructions. I pay attention to small changes in behaviour or appetite and adjust care as needed. You can expect thoughtful updates and photos, and the reassurance that your cat is being cared for in a way that feels familiar and low-stress.
“Chaylea is the best! She took such wonderful care of my sweet boy and put my mind at ease while I was away. This was my first time using Rover, and she was incredibly patient and kind, answering all of my questions and guiding me through the process. I could tell she genuinely loves animals, and my sensitive cat seemed so happy and relaxed when I returned. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for many years, I have experience with all pets. I have worked with all different sizes and breeds, I have also worked with different temperaments. I’ve dealt with shy and timid dogs, to aggressively not good with other animals or humans, and of course loving and super friendly dogs. Pets are my passion and I only have what’s best interest for them :) I have tons of references if wanted, I am super flexible and just happy to help with your furry family members. I am happy to just drop by and give a snuggle or out for a bathroom break, and I am also happy to stay at your home for as long as you need. I currently work part time, my job is flexible so I am able to check on the pets anytime during the day! I am always home by 3pm so plenty times for adventures and snuggles! I am very attentive to pets needs, I love playtime, snuggles, and adventures! I live by lots of trails and beaches perfect for the Adventurous pups!
About: Living on a hobby farm since a child, I always was in charge of my own chores including the horses, pigs, chickens, etc. I have had dogs my whole life, and hope to forever! I started house sitting/pet sitting around the age of 10 for parents, friends and family. I’ve been in charge of extremely sick animals, in need of extreme care at times. Along with animal births. Now at 27 I work from home, making me available all times of the day for my yorkie Biggie. I’m hoping I can be trusted relief for those in need. Working from home on my own schedule makes it extremely easy for me to work around potty breaks / feed schedules. I am available throughout the week and weekends. I have a yorkie in my own home who would be here to keep your pet company. We live above our horse barn where we typically go out at least once a day for a walk around the property or on the trail seeing as we don’t have a fenced yard to run around in, although we do live on 5+ acres. Our home is completely hard wood in case of any accidents. We have a potty space out our front door where Biggie goes for quick relief. House sitting: I am available dependant on your requests, we can discuss what is needed during your time away! Light house hold duties along with pet / farm sitting is something we can discuss. Just ask!
About: I have experience with cats of my own and others, I have one cat currently but have looked after family/friends/neighbour's kitties in the past. I am confident in administering medicine and other special care your cat might require!
About: I’m lucky to have two amazing dogs in my life, Luna ( a lady of a certain age! ) she belongs to my son and when she comes to me for her “holidays” we enjoy long, leisurely walks and/or a lovely swim in the ocean! And lots of cosy, curled up on the couch time. Then there’s Molly- who is a sweet golden retriever puppy belonging to my daughter. I spent a wonderful summer with Molly in tow, at just 10 weeks old, everything was new to her and delighted her. Although our walks were short, we went often and Molly made many friends in the neighbourhood! My daughter lives in the Okanagan Valley therefore, sadly I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with “our” Molly. Having said that, I do have lots of time to spend with your precious canine! I love walking and believe I would be a great companion for your dog when you can’t be there. I will strive to walk in different areas to provide visual interest to your dog and take the utmost care of him/ her at all times. I prefer on leash walks but am more than happy to play off leash games in your back yard. If your dog requires medication, I’m quite confident with that - recently Luna needed a course of injections and I was able to do that with no problems and obviously, I can feed your dog if required. At the moment I provide 2 kitties with regular overnight care and drop in visits. One of whom is diabetic & requires daily medication. I have lots of flexibility at the moment. I can offer week day and weekend service and am happy to tailor the length/ type of walk to suit your dog. I prefer to offer one on one care to deepen my bond with your dog. I am excellent housekeeper & live “lightly” in my clients homes.
About: I have been a pet owner and enthusiast since I was a child. Friends and family have entrusted me with their fur babies over the years while they have been out and about in the world. (Update. I have since adopted a 20 lb terrier cross puppy. (7 months as of Sept 1). I would like to bring her with me on pet/ house sits. She is a gentle, loving, submissive who gets along well with other dogs. If this absolutely does not work for you then please seek alternate pet sitters. Thanks for your understanding. ) Because I am newly retired, my primary focus is the care and safety of your house and your animals. I will take care of things as if they were my own! I am up to date in current methods of the care and feeding of cats and dogs! I can also care for iguanas, hedgehogs, ferrets and various other reptiles!
“Sara is trustworthy, kind and was awesome with Tikka. This was the first time I had left Tikka on her own and I was pretty worried and Sara made the process stress-free and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I would gladly recommend her to friends and family. Thanks so much, Sara, for being a puppy owner’s dream!”
About: I grew up with 3 cats. I also worked in a Veterinary Hospital for 2+ years. I’ve been around them my whole life, and fostered a litter of kittens in university. My partner has a cat (we’re long distance) otherwise I’d have my own (her cat hates cats).

“Amy is magnificent! I was a bit hesitant to put in a review as I want her available for my mutt! ;-) She is very calm and zen, loving, open and warm which was evidenced by our first meet and greet where she got on the floor and my girl just cuddled into her arms. She sent photos and updates without me asking and was flexible with last minute changes keeping Lily overnight. It is my Lily (the white French Bull Dog) that you will see on her sitter profile, and you can see for yourself how wonderful Amy is.”
“Ben had a great time at daycare! There was playing with other dogs, hiking, and nap time when everyone was tired. Tiana is the best at sending pics! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our boy!”
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I’d love to make your travel easier by caring for your beloved fur babies while you are away from home. I work from home and can rearrange my schedule during the day to stop in and take your pets out for potty breaks or a quick walk or cuddles. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so if your pets overnight here, they will have my full attention. I live in Sidney very close to walking paths and parks for walks and playtime.
“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”
“Danielle has been caring for my dogs for a couple months now - they have had an overnight and many daycare days. I trust Danielle with their care, they are happy and tired when they get home, and her communication is clear and consistent. She has been a dream find for me!”
“Criofan was great, we were travelling from Edmonton and decided to do a last minute Whale Watching Tour. Within 5 minutes Criofan responded and we had Luna booked in to play for the day. We really appreciated the late night pick up at 10pm, was flexible for us to enjoy our time in Victoria without feeling rushed. The drive was only 20 mins, but was definitely worth the drive, huge space for Luna to run with Albert. Really appreciated the messages after dropping Luna off, put my mind at ease that she was behaving. Highly recommend, we got back a happy tired pooch!”
“I can’t say enough about how great Rachel is. I highly recommend her. My dog Kai loved spending time with with her and be a farm dog for two days. If you need a dog daycare please use Rachel, she’s fabulous”
“Kristine was so accommodating… on a last minute booking. She welcomed Ruby with lots of love and enthusiasm. She sent us photos and updates which we we loved. Ruby was well cared for.”
“Anisha is great! She is very professional and communicative. Even before daycare, she let us know there would be another pup in her care and made sure our pups would be compatible before booking :) We left our 6 month old puppy in her care, and he came home tired and happy-- he had lots of play time! She was attentive to the notes in his profile and we were provided a debrief of his day. She is so good at understanding and managing puppy behaviors! We would really like to book her services again if we can find time in her calendar.”
“Monica was just wonderful. I loved all the pictures and videos she sent of Angel during her stayed. It’s obvious that Angel had a great time. Will definitely be returning. I highly recommend Monica!”
“We were very happy to leave our dog with Bee and Scott and their dog. Our dog was well cared for as Bee walked him a couple of times, at least for an hour.each time. Our pup enjoyed playing with their dog who was very well behaved. Bee fed our dog lunch and cuddled with him on the couch. Bee's love of dogs and her affection for our dog was obvious. Bee sent us several pictures throughout the day which we enjoyed. We felt reassured leaving our pup with her for the day. We would recommend Bee and Scott as dog sitters!”
“They are absolutely amazing and gentle. They cared for the needs of my dog and communicated very well with me. It was a last minute booking and they made it work. I highly recommend them!! Thank you again both of you <3”
About: Dear pet parents, over the past 8 years, I’ve been traveling the world as a full time house and pet sitter lovingly caring for dogs and cats across six continents. For me, a home without pets simply doesn’t feel like home 🐱🐶 Along the way, I’ve also regularly worked in animal rescue which has given me experience with anxious animals as well as administering medication. I'm currently living and traveling in Canada and would love to offer my services. Feel free to message me and I’m happy to share lots of positive references 🤍 All the best, Verena I am currently studying online and spend a lot of time at home myself, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. However, since I also love being in nature, I enjoy taking long walks and even longer hikes. I prefer to care for animals in their familiar environment, at your home, and I do my best to stick to their usual routines and daily habits, as I have found through many years of experience that this is what is best for the animal. :)
“Kathryn is a true animal lover through and through. I could not have asked for better for my older dog. I was stocked to have my dog to spend the day with her family. She did tons of nature walks! I would recommend her.”
“Bianca kindly took Pickford for the day on short notice. Communication was great and I appreciated the photos throughout the day. He seems to have settled in very quickly and we came back to a happy, rested dog. Would definitely recommend.”
“Devyn did a great job with our very anxious husky for the day. Although she was a bit nervous at first, Devyn made her feel comfortable and she eventually made herself right at home, which we saw from the pictures Devyn sent through the day. We would not hesitate to use Devyn again when we’re back in the area!”

“Kirstin is fantastic. She was the first dog walker we had after bringing my rescue dog home, and she was such a huge help with leash manners, attention redirection, helping her to get comfortable with nail trims, in addition to all the walks. We are bummed that she is moving and can’t continue with us, but I know she will be making a difference for all the other pets and pet parents she meets in her new location. If anyone needs a dog walker whose first priority is understanding and meeting your dog’s needs with genuine care, choose Kirstin.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of many dogs for friends and family while they are away. I raised my first dog (In my adult life) from a puppy, right through to his end of life.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for and raised animals of all kinds, from puppies and rescue dogs to farm animals and small pets. My own rescue dog, Indigo, taught me so much about patience, compassion, and attentive care as I supported her through both IVDD and cancer. Through that experience, I became very comfortable with medication routines, mobility support, changing needs, and providing calm, loving care through every stage of an animal’s life. I’ve also raised puppies and lived on a farm where I regularly cared for large farm dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for many different animals, including parrots, snakes, hamsters, fish, rabbits, and other small pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while their owners are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I’m also a very active person and usually spend hours outside walking every day, so I’d genuinely love some furry companionship along the way - whether your dog prefers long adventures, slower sniff walks, or lots of playtime and attention. I live in a detached home with a fully fenced backyard and no other animals in the home, creating a calm and safe environment for your pet. I take animal care very seriously and have always treated every pet - whether my own or someone else’s - with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I cared for my sweet dog Indigo through both IVDD and cancer, which gave me firsthand experience supporting animals with medical needs, mobility limitations, medication routines, and changing comfort levels. That experience taught me that every animal is unique, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual routines, personalities, and care needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.

I am self-employed and work part-time, often at home in Cowichan and a few times monthly in Victoria, thus my hours are flexible. Preference to sits in Duncan area and Victoria. Please note: I do Drop-ins ONLY in North Cowichan and Duncan proper. For safety purposes, homes would need to have cell service. Drop - in visits of one hour only Pet-sitting would be in your home, as I am not allowed pets where I live unfortunately. I am respectful of your home, and follow your wishes regarding care. Pets are cared for as if they were my own. Instructions are followed respectfully, and your fur babies will be in loving hands!
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for many years, I have experience with all pets. I have worked with all different sizes and breeds, I have also worked with different temperaments. I’ve dealt with shy and timid dogs, to aggressively not good with other animals or humans, and of course loving and super friendly dogs. Pets are my passion and I only have what’s best interest for them :) I have tons of references if wanted, I am super flexible and just happy to help with your furry family members. I am happy to just drop by and give a snuggle or out for a bathroom break, and I am also happy to stay at your home for as long as you need. I currently work part time, my job is flexible so I am able to check on the pets anytime during the day! I am always home by 3pm so plenty times for adventures and snuggles! I am very attentive to pets needs, I love playtime, snuggles, and adventures! I live by lots of trails and beaches perfect for the Adventurous pups!
About: Hello! My name is Isabella and I’m originally from Mexico. I’ve grown up in a home surrounded by dogs, which sparked my lifelong passion for caring for animals. I just graduated from Ecology at Thompson Rivers University and I’m also an active volunteer at local animal shelters. These experiences have deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and well being. I have over 7 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, working with a wide range of breeds—from small, energetic pups to larger, strong dogs like Labradors. My top priority is always the well-being, safety, and happiness of your pet. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure each pet feels loved and secure in my care. I am happy to look after your dog in your home to ensure the health and safety of all animals I look after. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and promise to keep you updated with photos and videos while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I have all weekdays and weekend free. As a recent graduate, I am currently looking for a job so I will be home all day taking care of your furry ones. My previous experience in my Mom's dog sitting company has given me the tools to provide the best possible care of the furry pets. I provide food, fresh water, and any medications needed at appropriate times, following the given schedule to optimise the pet’s wellbeing. I also personalise the care for each pet, taking into consideration their age, health conditions, energy levels, etc. I like to keep them entertained by playing with them and taking them on walks if agreed with you first. My walks always prioritise safety, providing the best experience possible for you and your pets. Letting them take their time while smelling plants and nature is crucial to ensure they enjoy the most. I offer on leash and off leash walks depending on your personal preference.
“Sara- thank you so much for your time with Stanley. He was a happy pup and I was so happy to know he was having a good time and was well cared for. Sara was very professional, respectful, I would very highly recommend Sara.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 3 indoor cats and caring for my grandparents German Shepherds. I fostered many dogs and cats with my roommates in University, and worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 2+ years. I’ve rescued a senior dog from the SPCA (who since passed) and now have a 3.5yr Rottweiler. My schedule is extremely flexible and I can make myself available at anytime needed to provide care for your pets. A typical day with my dog consists morning potty, breakfast, long walk, indoor mental play time, supper, outside potty and more play time. It’s not uncommon to go for off-leash walks in a park. Another activity we enjoy is mental enrichment - either a mind game with treats or frozen kong. I have a condo in Westhills. There are many parks and trails nearby. I also have a SUV I use to take the dogs on adventures to the beach, hikes, etc. As for care in your home; I like to maintain whatever schedule you have!

“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“We had a great experience boarding with Criofan, she is kind, caring, and wonderful with animals. Her home and beautiful fenced property are set up thoughtfully to provide a fun and safe environment with lots of fresh air and exercise. We really appreciated the great communication and photo updates. Our dog was well cared for and made some new best friends. Thanks again!”
“My husky was so well taken care of by Kelsey and her family! She came back to me happy and tired 🥰 Kelsey was so good about sending pictures and updates too, which I loved. Will definitely be dropping aloo off again when I return to Victoria”
“Sjako and his family took wonderful care of our little Emilio. His kids were so sweet and gentle with our dog and they took Emilio out for a hike as well. We appreciated the great communication and the photos of our dog while we were away. Thanks so much!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.
“We are very impressed with the care that Heather provided for our boy Duncan. Our dog is on a lot of different medications given at different times of the day and the schedule was followed to a T. Will be keeping Heather in mind for the future. Thanks for treating our boy like the Prince he is!”

“Phenomenal experience. Prompt responses, amazing communication, my pup absolutely adored her and was exhausted once I brought her home. Highly recommend and will be using again”
“Monica and her partner are gems!! My first time leave my big, 1 year old, four legged son with someone and it was a last minute decision to try find someone. I’m so glad we came across Monica’s profile. Arthur can be reactive and high energy, and stubborn, and she managed wonderfully and he had an amazing time. Would highly recommend her and hopefully will get the chance to have Arthur in her care again. Thank you Monica - and for the updates and photos!!”
“Amelia was very phenomenal taking care of my dog Tails. She was also very accommodating and understanding when I couldn't make it on time for pick up due to flight disruption. Strongly recommended to everyone for her outstanding service.”
“Monica was amazing! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

“Rachel was great! Good communication and very friendly. We were on holiday from the states and our schedule changed a lot due to drive times and sightseeing. Rachel was very kind to pivot with us. Also, one of our dogs had special instructions with his medication, and she handled it without skipping a beat. She took great care of our boys! Would highly recommend her!”
“Ada and Nick took such great care of George! It was apparent they both were very attentive to George’s needs and are very warm people, which made me feel at ease! We will definitely be booking with them again! Thanks for treating our pup like your own!”
