“Andrea was amazing! We have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people and her deteriorating eyesight and hearing can make leaving her with a new person very stressful for us and her. Andrea had a very gentle and calm approach with our dog which allowed her space to feel comfortable. Her updates gave us peace of mind and when we picked her up she seemed at home in her house. It was so comforting for us to know Riley was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Andrea as she clearly has a great energy and connection with dogs putting them at ease.”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our Pippi. I appreciated the regular updates and good communication while we were away and hope to have her (and Frankie!) take care of Pippi again :)”
“Both Finn and I feel very fortunate to have found Kevin and Kayla. Finn instantly took to them and that is not usual for him. He thinks they're great and I concur!”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Bianca was great. Sent tons of updates while I was away, took a max out on a bunch of adventures with her other dogs and had he had a happy and healthy stay. Can’t ask for more. Would definitely book with Bianca again.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”
“Christina was amazing! Super responsive and flexible during the booking process. Christina took such good care of our Chappie and sent lots of videos and pictures of him having a great time. Would highly recommend using Christina!”
“Ella had a fun time with Criofan. She was happy to leave me and play with the other dogs on the property and she was happy at pick up time. Criofan was easy to deal with. She responded to texts promptly and eagerly set up a meet and greet time beforehand. She sent me photos to show what Ella was doing while under her care. If your dog likes lots of space and other dogs to play with then this could be a place for them!”
“We were so thankful for the care that Karly and Brent gave to our Coco. We received daily updates and pictures of their activities and hikes. Coco looked well and we could tell that she had really bonded with them. When we got to their place they were ready for us, even dismantled the crate! Bless them!! Thanks so much.”
“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”
“Jena looked after our 11 month old puppy for over 3 weeks while we were away overseas. It was a perfect experience. I felt completely at ease that our puppy was being well cared for by Jena whilst we were far away. She gave us daily updates. Pictures and videos. Was flexible with the amount of communication we wanted from her. Never left our pup alone. I had total trust that Jena was giving the best care possible. We have no other family or friends on the island to pick up our puppy so I needed to be really sure that she would be with someone dependable. Jena made it possible for us to relax while away knowing that our puppy was being so well taken care of. I have only good things to say and have recommended her to friends since.”
“Brady has been to Iris’s many times and enjoys going there. He gets plenty of walks and attention. She is also good about adjusting pick up times if travel arrangements change.”
“Angela was so great to work with and took such good care of my girl, Millie. She was so friendly, responsible and clearly cared about making sure my dog was happy and well looked after. She sent loads of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated! I would not hesitate to book with Angela again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“They are awesome sitters! They are really receptive to our dogs needs, especially having a dog with separation anxiety. This was our dogs longest stay with them and Cristian and Chinel sent lots of updates. We will keep booking with them and recommending them for dog care!”
“Kaori was amazing! She’s super nice and accommodating and you can tell she really cares about your pups. I left my two pups with her overnight as the hotel we were staying in is not pet friendly. She sent constant updates and pictures letting me know my babies were having a blast with her dog while me myself was enjoying the night. First time my two pups were away from me for so long and with one of them being anxious easily, Kaori made it a great experience. I didn’t have to worry at all knowing they are in good hands. Thank you!!!!”
“Daisy and her family are true treasures. They have a lovely home with a fenced yard, Toby the Sheltie adored his time with them and came home a happy pup. Communication with Daisy was excellent and we appreciated the photos sent during his stay in their home. A 5 star pet sitter.”

“Ryan was awesome with my kitties and I loved that he sent me pictures of my kitties! I have a lot of anxiety about being away from my cat and he provided me with so much peace of mind. He’s kind and my cats loved him!”

“Vanessa helped care for my Jane & Nemo pretty last minute and was wonderful to engage with, attentive and communicative. She let me know when she was heading over and gave me a lil report and took a few photos of my bebes. She kindly washed their dishes and everything looked great when I got home. Highly recommend and would happily trust her with my kitties again 🙏🏼”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets for friends and neighbors. I bring a calm, attentive energy to every visit and take pride in creating a safe, positive experience for each animal. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walks in throughout the day. I’m typically available on weekdays, with some evening and weekend availability as well. I do my best to accommodate your dog’s routine and keep things consistent for them. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety and comfort. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I’m mindful in clients’ homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and respectful while creating a calm, loving environment for each pet.
“Sarah is the perfect pet sitter. Amazing attention to detail and very experienced. We were so grateful to have her and trust her whole heartedly to take care of out boys.”
“Barbara was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She looked after my cat, Cash, for the past week and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly, very responsive to messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter. Thank you so much, Barbara!”
“Rachel was very comforting when I left my cat over night. It was a first time away. I would recommend her anytime. Apparently he hid under the couch and wasn’t receptive to the many bribes they offered. Haha”
“Hope has a calm and kind energy about her that my nervous and high maintenance animals responded really well to! She was diligent in ensuring she understood their needs and kept us updated so we could enjoy our holiday with ease. Thank you Hope!!”

“Wonderful experience with Jane’s drop in visits for our little feline family. She clearly cares for animals, taking the time to earn their trust, and made sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. Great communication. Would happily and unreservedly recommend.”
About: I have grown up with cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting boundaries. I’m very comfortable caring for cats who are shy, independent, or slow to warm up, and I’m happy to provide quiet companionship, playtime, or simply a calm presence depending on what the cat prefers. My experience in animal behaviour (through my career at Petland) helps me read subtle cues and adjust my care to ensure cats feel safe and stress-free in their own space.
“We are repeat clients and are so pleased with Amy's service. She is reliable and goes out of her way to make sure our shy, elderly kitty is comfortable and happy. We also really appreciate the photos and videos she posts at every drop-in visit! Thanks Amy!”
“My cats were well loved and cared for. Lion and Gabe took to Tayor right away. Taylor was punctual, responded quickly to messages and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Taylor as a petsitter!”
“We’re so happy with the care Chantelle provided for Tubby! She was responsive, reliable, and went above and beyond by tracking how much Tubby ate during each visit. That extra attention meant so much to us. Highly recommend and would definitely book her again!”

About: My experience over the years with dogs has been with a variety of different breeds, ages and behaviors. I volunteered fostering dogs at the Victoria Humane Society in 2022 where I gained a lot of experience with different temperaments and ages/mixed breeds. The highlight of my experience was working for Island Miniature Schnauzers outside of Sooke in 2016 for 8 months. My duties were: Home Life training for adopted puppies. This provided the new owners one week of me training the puppy at my home. This included walking on leash for the first time, crate training, schedule for house training, socializing with other dogs and people to name a few.. I provided video and pictures to the new owners to keep them up to date on progress. I also took older Shnauzers who were used to farm life and adapted them to urban life by going on leashed walks, greeting new dogs and people. I also learned to groom puppies and older dogs as well. You can see in all my photo's with the Schnauzer puppies and dogs that I trained while working for IMS. Over the years I have taken care of friends/family dogs and cats at their home. I treat all animals like my very own. I massage them, comfort them them and just love them up! I have a nice sized backyard that is fully fenced for play. There are many trails, beaches and lakes that we go on each day. Depending on your dogs level of care, adjusting the cost is a flexibility I offer. I am retired and am home most of the day while caring for your pet. We walk once or 2x a day and I have a nice sized backyard. Games and training time are incorporated into our day. I aim to make it as balanced and fun as possible. I offer 2 walks a day. There are many places to walk close to my home & the galloping goose trail is behind my gate. My backyard is a good size for running and zoomies. Naps and downtime are a must for a happy healthy dog. The dogs sleep with me unless they need to be in a crate.
“Stacey is great, she took a pretty short notice booking and has a great set up, nice fully fence back yard. She is obviously experienced with dogs, Luna took to her right away and instantly went to play with some toys she had for her even brought one to show me when I picked her up. Would definitely book with Stacey again”
“Jena was the best! She was great from the start - very organized with all the details before Reggie’s visit. Jena took the best care of my pup, including a BIG walk and lots of play time with her two pups. I highly recommend Jena.”
About: I have lifelong experience with pets, and somehow they always end up choosing me as their “favorite” person in the house. I genuinely understand their personalities and form deep connections with them. I can safely administer medication, give endless belly rubs to dogs, and I know all the classic favorite spots that make cats purr. I currently work full time from home and have a flexible schedule and a Friday off every two weeks and weekends are usually available as well. I live in a pet friendly condo with a fenced dog run area and easy access to Portage Park (pet friendly park). We own two very friendly pets, a dog and cat. Our dog has diabetes so we already do many potty breaks with him a day and administer insulin shots twice a day plus a mix of home made and prescribed food as well.
“Despite not having a dog, my Shayka gets ssoo excited to be dropped off to Flora. Her wage is great considering she takes Shayka out for quite few walks during the sit. As well, Flora has made exceptions with her usual time schedule.”

Great communication, quick responses, and plenty of photos of the dog as well as a very kind gift for him as well. Highly recommend! Thank you again Dominique. -Gus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with family dogs and cats and, until recently, shared my life with two incredible dogs of my own. I was a Rover client for years and always appreciated the peace of mind it brought me. I’m excited to give back and spend time with your animals. We live in a house with a fenced yard and a dog door that can be blocked or open. I love being outside and going for walks, and I especially enjoy building trust through positive reinforcement and trick training. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, particularly those who walk well on leash. I’m also a nurse, which gives me a strong comfort level with administering medications , whether it’s an easy pill pocket or a more challenging situation. I’ve had experience giving medications to both cooperative and more anxious dogs, and I always approach it with patience and gentleness. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some cuddles, or a bit of extra care, I’d love the chance to be there for them. I am a nurse with flexibility with my schedule. I have lots of free time during the day for dog walking and pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve whether it’s a mid-morning walk, afternoon playtime or all day company. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, quirks, and routines. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for and keeps their routine.

“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail.

He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”

I do hope she can become my go to sitter for Watson.”
“Bill and Gerie are total gems. Our Toby had the best time at their place. They sent us many photos during his 3 week stay showing a very happy dog enjoying the adventures out with Bill. Their home and property offer a perfect situation for dogs and they obviously adore doing this work. Bill very kindly delivered our dog back to our house, a service above and beyond. Toby can’t wait to go back!”
“Stine took great care of our Fergus, sending lots and lots of photos and updates and taking him on lots of hikes. He was so happy to be there for the 5 days we left him and got to play non-stop with her dog Brodie. Her and her husband Walt obvious took care of Fergus as if he was their own. They were also very accommodating when our flight got re-routed and we arrived a couple of hours late. We would definitely book again with Stine without hesitation”
“Stacy took great care of Zaza while we were away. She sent at least one photo every day and let me know how my old girl was doing. Highly recommend and will try to have Stacy and her family fitbabysit again!”
“Natalie was great!! Super easy communication and very flexible about drop off and pickup. Milo is a quirky dog and Natalie was very easy with him. She sent pictures of their adventures and stayed in touch throughout Milo’s stay. Milo did not seem stressed or anxious and I would absolutely book Natalie again. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She took such good care of our puppy Sasha. She communicated quickly and professionally. We ended up adding an extra day to the booking last minute and Stephanie was incredibly accommodating and helpful. Sasha was well cared for, provided her medication for ear infection, folled her post surgery requirements, took her for many walks, and spoiled her with love!”
“My first Rover experience and a very positive one! Anqian and Alexandre sent sweet updates of my cat Ham and really gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands! Thank you!”
“Heather and her family showed great care and affection to my dog! She sent updates and was thoughtful about adequate activity time and rest for my pooch recently entering her senior years :) Would definitely recommend and book Heather again.”
