I hope she is free next time we need a sitter 💛”
“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.”

About: I am an experienced and attentive cat caregiver and have been a cat mom to my cat Youppi for over a year. I handle all his daily care including feeding, litter box cleaning, grooming, playtime, etc. I also have cared for friends’ cats with different personalities and routines, including shy cats, playful kittens, and spicy cats that need patience and gentle interaction. What I’m comfortable with: • Feeding (wet, dry, scheduled, free-feeding, etc.) • Litter box cleaning and monitoring bathroom habits • Playtime and enrichment (energetic or calm companionship) • Brushing teeth and hair • Administering basic oral medications if needed • Providing updates and photos I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in environment and routine, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. I respect your pet’s boundaries and keep an eye out for their stress levels. Small Animal Care (Drop-In Visits): I also have experience caring for small animals such as rats, hamsters, and chinchillas. I have owned small animals (rats, hamsters) in the past and am comfortable with daily care routines including feeding, cage cleaning, enrichment, and health monitoring. While Rover does not list small animals as a separate service category, I’m happy to discuss drop-in visits for small pets with owners to see if I’m a good fit.
“Amy is awesome! We're repeat clients and are so grateful that she takes such great care of our elderly kitty. We loved the video updates and she was a great houseguest. We would not hesitate to re-book Amy.”
“We were so happy to have found Rachel to do drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation! She made sure they had lots of pets, while also doing the usual feeding, watering, litter changing, etc. She was very professional and timely, and even our timid female cat came out and wanted attention from Rachel. We would book her again in a heartbeat!”

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.
About: I had a large dog for 12 plus years. I love how active and different all dogs are. Their fun personality speaks volumes about each breed! I have a very flexible work day. I also work a 5 minute walk from home so it is easy to check in with pets. I'm off on weekends and early on Fridays for outdoor adventures. I have a fenced yard for day time play. I live I'm a beautiful walkable neighborhood for more adventures. There are no Pets here to make your pet feel more comfortable
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 2 yrs ago (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 fenced in backyard 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. 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 house & the galloping goose trail is behind my gate. My backyard is a good size for wrestling, running and playing. I am currently revamping my yard to make it more dog friendly. 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”
“Kimberly took really good care of my mocha for the day! I really appreciate that she agreed to watch Mocha even though it was a last minute booking. Communication was easy, drop off and pick up was too. She was very understanding of Mocha's challenges. Overall I highly recommend!”
About: I've loved and cared for animals for over 15 years. Growing up, I had both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a mom, I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to details. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work from home, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. If your pet enjoys companionship, they're welcome to relax beside me in my home office while I work. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and never left alone for long periods. I enjoy having pets around, and I treat every one of them as part of the family while they're with me. My home offers a safe and pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, as well as a large open green space directly in front of the house that's perfect for walks, sniffing, and exercise. Every pet has different needs, so I always follow the owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and any special care requirements. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated during certain times, I'm happy to accommodate that. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine. I also have two young boys, ages 10 and 3, so I ask that pets staying in our home are comfortable around respectful children. We believe in creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, welcome, and part of the family.
“really happy with the care my pups recieved. both are young and full of energy but came home tired amd happy. my youngest has seperation anxiety and always howls and cries when i return but she was pretty calm this time. i recieved pictures and grace even paid enough attention to notice harlow was a bit dehydrated and let me know. they were also able to book me in fairly last minute which i was greatful for. if i ever need a sitter in victoria again i will be contacting these folks first. :)”
“Alanna took excellent care of our older dog. She was very attentive and took care to work with our dog’s old lady quirks. She sent photos and our dog also seemed to very much enjoy hanging out with Alanna’s older pug who was very sweet. Would absolutely have Alanna watch our pup again in the future without hesitation.”
“Chinel and Cristian have been great every time we book with them. Our dog Olly can be a little anxious with new people, but he absolutely loves staying with Chinel, Cristian and Benny. We would 100% recommend!”
“Jules and Cody were amazing caregivers to Poppy. They had great communication and were accommodating. They seemed to love dogs and took our dog on many trail walks. Can’t wait to use their services again.”
“Olivia was an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of Bullet and kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her puppy Adonis was the perfect companion for Bullet — they had an absolute blast together! It’s clear Olivia truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Shravistha and her husband were very warm and welcoming from the moment I dropped off my puppy. I explained that this was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and they were both very understanding, patient, and caring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was safe and comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. My puppy received lots of attention, affection, and excellent care.

About: My family owned a Golden Retriever for several years while I was growing up. As an adult, I have also helped care for family members’ dogs, including walks, feeding, and maintaining routines while owners were away. What I’m comfortable with: • Feeding and keeping up with their routines • Leashed walks and outdoor potty breaks • Playtime and companionship • Caring for calm to moderately active dogs • Providing consistent updates and photos I am patient, calm, and attentive, and I always follow your instructions closely to help your dogs feel safe and secure in my care. Your dog’s comfort and well-being is my top priority. Small Animal Care (Drop-In Visits): I also have experience caring for small animals such as rats, hamsters, and chinchillas. I have owned small animals (rats and hamsters) in the past and am comfortable with daily care routines including feeding, cage cleaning, enrichment, and health monitoring. While Rover does not list small animals as a separate service category, I’m happy to discuss drop-in visits for small pets with owners to see if I’m a good fit. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for daytime, evening, and weekend drop-in visits. I can accommodate pets who need mid-day check-ins, consistent routines, or extra attention :) I update my Rover calendar regularly and am happy to discuss scheduling needs in advance. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s routine. I make sure doors and windows are secure, food and water are fresh, litter boxes or habitats are clean, and the environment is safe before and after each visit. I always double-check locks when entering and leaving. With cats, I respect their boundaries and take time to observe behaviour, appetite, and litter box habits. I provide playtime or quiet companionship depending on the cat’s personality and keep stress to a minimum by maintaining their normal routine. For dogs, I make sure leashes, collars, and harnesses are properly fitted before walks, avoid unsafe areas, and never allow off-leash time unless explicitly approved by the owner. I monitor energy levels and weather conditions to keep walks safe and comfortable. For small animals (such as rats, hamsters, or chinchillas), I focus on proper feeding, clean habitats, gentle handling when appropriate, and checking that enclosures are secure. I offer playtime if approved by you. I keep owners updated with messages and photos after each visit and will contact them immediately if I notice anything unusual. Building trust with you and your pet is very important to me, and I treat every pet and home with care and respect.
“Willow has been absolutely wonderful. She was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She follows directions carefully, pays attention to detail, and is incredibly kind and patient. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I really appreciate her reliability and the calm, positive energy she brings. I would absolutely recommend Willow to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog walker.”

About: I grew up with lots of dogs, and bunnies too. I have cared for dogs my whole life as my mom took in strays. I am very attentive and personable with animals and they can sense that. I believe exercise is really important for an animals wellbeing. Also, dogs need lots of attention and social interaction so that they can thrive in their families and with other dogs. I'm in great shape so I can keep up with the gentle giants! I am also a proud mom so I am very nurturing and attentive to others needs. I'm really excited to meet some furry pals. Please do feel free to call me with any questions you may have, I'm happy to chat! Thanks. Cheers. Stephanie

She did a meet and greet at a park before booking, which I super appreciated, and then was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay!!! I’m an anxious dog parent so having her look after Roxy and treat her as her own was perfect. I absolutely would book her again!!!!!”
“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!”
“I am a return client and my dog Charlie always has a good time with them. Good communication and they were able to accommodate a short notice request. Glad to have found a great sitter :)”
