“Amber is just fantastic! Not only is she a great communicator but she also sent regular photos and videos of our pup having a great time. We always know our dog is in good hands with Amber. Highly recommend.”
“Dominique and her family were great! She made sure she understood our dog’s habits and needs and went out of her way to accommodate them. We have a senior dog who came home tired, but content. I highly recommend Dominique and will be contacting her when we need a pet sitter again!”
About: We had to say goodbye to our sweet dog last fall and would welcome some occasional furry love in our home again! I understand what’s involved in taking care of a dog properly, all while giving them love and attention. I raised a vizsla dog from puppy through to senior and passing on. He had epilepsy which required daily medication his whole life, was a high energy alpha male, and had lots of minor medical issues. I also grew up with a collie-shepherd rescue when I was younger. During the summer months I don’t work, so looking to add a furry friend to our family while I’m home. I have kids, so while we may go out for occasional outings, if the dog isn’t joining us, the dog would only be home for a few hours. During the school year, I would only be gone weekdays for 4-6 hours. I have a fenced rural property (just under an acre) on the edge of Comox, with access to trails and beaches, galore! There is a mudroom inside our home that is a safe place to leave a dog, or a crate if they feel safe. My children understand how to approach and treat dogs carefully and respectfully (they are 7 and 10 years old). With some blankets on the couch, your dog is welcome up for some cuddles! The house is well setup for a dog, as our last one lived here too. There is always access to fresh water for your pup, we have a walk in shower with easy access from the door on tile, and our home is a comfortable temperature year round with a heat pump.
“Taryn is absolutely terrific! I really appreciated the active communication, she sent lots of photos updates and it was easy to tell the great care that our girl was receiving. Taryn was flexible and accommodating to our requests leaving us very at ease. Will most definitely book again and would recommend to anyone! 😊 thank you so much again!”
“Lisa and David took amazing care of our puppy - Luna! They were very responsive in the inquiry process and provided pictures and updates while caring for Luna. Their property is perfect for dogs, allowing them a safe space to explore the outdoors, as well as a lovely dog friendly home (which they puppy proofed for Luna!). They have two border collies that welcomed Luna into their pack. Luna came back to us very happy and well behaved. Lisa and David took the time to reinforce the training we were already working on with her. We will definitely use Lisa and David again and highly recommend them!”
“Marie took really great care of our golden retriever Maggie! We really appreciated the pictures and little updates and Maggie was so happy on your walks and adventures. She got along really well with your two sweet dogs. Thank you!!!”
“Janine and her family took such great care of Natty-Bo! Lots of fun play-time, couch snuggles, photos and love. This was our first time leaving our pup and we had zero concerns while we were away. Thank you so much for that peace of mind!”
“Willow had an amazing time with Carolyn and her family! She went up the alberni lookout and loved playing in her huge yard. I appreciated all the updates and communication was great. We look forward to seeing them again.”
“Kevin and Jenny did such an amazing job taking care of our dog Dolce. We appreciated receiving pictures, updates of how she was doing and funny stories of our goofy girl along the way. Dolce gets so excited as soon as we turn off the highway and start heading toward their home, it makes us feel such relief knowing she loves them like family and they treat her like one their own.”
“Sean and his wife are wonderfully warm and welcoming. Our dog was comfortable right away in their home. Sean has previous experience with training and caring for his dogs. Our boy had just received surgery and Sean was respectful of his aftercare. I enjoyed the photos they would send me. When the time comes I would definately call them again!”
“Melisa was awesome with our 2 year old Lab/Dane Mylo. He has a crazy amount of energy and Melisa made sure to take him running or swimming every day! She's great and we will definitely use her services again!”
“Lorena and Michael took fantastic care of my husky, Nova! She’s a rescue and has some quirks, but they were great with all her needs and very communicative while we were away. Their dog Leia was very sweet and receptive to Nova’s boundaries, and Michael was very knowledgeable with dog cues and behaviour which gave me great confidence in leaving my pup with them. I would leave Nova with them again in a heartbeat! Thanks again.”
“Brynne was wonderful with our dog - they went on long walks and Remy had the best time. Brynne sent lots of pictures and was super quick to respond to any messages. We definitely hope Remy can stay with her again when we come back.”
“We were very happy with Michaela's understanding and patience of our dog puppy energy. We are grateful to have felt so comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Thank you Michaela, we will book with you again in the future.”
About: I have done drop ins and had friends/family dogs stay with me for the last 2 years and have owned my own (not anymore) dogs on and off for my whole life A pet lover with time to spare. I currently work 5 hours a day during the week and can provide early morning, afternoon and evening visits. I have a large fenced front and back yard. All animals must be well socialized with children if they are staying here, otherwise I can do drop-ins without children.
“Our dog spent five nights with Andrea and we didn’t even worry. She took him on daily adventures and even let him sleep in the bed! He is so happy, played out and not stressed at all after being away from us for so long. Would definitely recommend her services and will book again:)”
“Cat is simply the best! Our Tina had an unforgettable 12-day vacation while we were in Europe. Leaving our beloved Tina behind for almost two weeks was stressful, but Cat turned it into a worry-free experience. Not only did Tina receive exceptional care, but she also had the time of her life playing with Cat's wonderful dogs. It was clear from the moment we picked her up that Tina felt right at home and had formed a special bond with her new furry friends. Cat's communication was top-notch throughout our trip. She sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We returned to a happy, well-adjusted Tina who was clearly sad to leave her vacation behind (and maybe a little jealous of all the fun she had!). We can't recommend Cat highly enough. She's a true lifesaver and our go-to pet sitter from now on!”
“Aparna took excellent care of my dog. Honey went on a long off leash walk everyday and was given lots of time with enrichment toys. Honey loved hanging out with Aparna’s dog. I received many pictures and videos from Aparna. This was my first experience with Rover and it was a very positive experience. I definitely recommend Aparna as a pet sitter!”

“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”
“Anthony took great care of my cat when I was away, she is very anxious and shy but I felt confident leaving my cat with him, he even took my mail in and sent me updates and a little video to reassure me! I would definitively book Anthony again!!”
“Fiona is an exceptional animal sitter. She left our home clean and tidy and made sure the bunnies were fed and happy. She spent extra time with them and sent lots of updates. We felt totally relaxed while away knowing she was caring for our animals.”
“Thank you so much Carissa for taking care of our babies last week! Very responsive, flexible & kind. The kitties looked very happy and well taken care of, which was a huge stress reliever for us. Highly recommend ☺️??”
About: I grew up with cats, and by my teenage years I was the go-to pet sitter for friends, family and friends of friends. Over time, that turned into paid, freelance work caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I have experience with both kittens and senior cats, including those who need oral medication, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple cats at once while keeping their routines and needs separate and respected. What matters most to me is that your pet feels safe and not disrupted while you’re away. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every animal is different, and I follow your routines, your preferences, and your pet’s cues. Some animals want play and energy, others want space and a calm presence. I’m attentive to that and adjust accordingly. I’m calm, gentle, and patient with animals. I respect their space and let them come to me, which tends to work especially well for shy or more sensitive pets. At the same time, I genuinely love connecting with animals, so if your pet is the cuddly type, they’ll get plenty of affection too. I offer a free meet and greet so we can make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. This also helps me understand your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them properly.
About: I volunteer twice a week at a local cat shelter, where I clean and care for the cats, and come home and care for my 2 kitties. I enjoy every cat I meet, and enjoy finding learning their personalities.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, and parrots. I love animals. I am always gentle with them and will play and pet your furry friend. I do gig work so my availability is fairly flexible. I can make changes when needed and can even do same day care if I’m free. I will follow your orders. I can watch your pets in your house and take them outside in the yard. I can walk them too.
“The idea of leaving my asthmatic cat for 11 days was daunting, but Marie eased that anxiety. She seemed to genuinely enjoy seeing my cat and was great at supporting her needs! She was able to give my cat her puffer and give her all the love/cuddles while I was away.”
“Holly did multiple house visits with our dog. It is great to have someone reliable to come check on our pup and she has also accepted requests on short notice too. She is our go to person. Definitely recommending her.”
About: With many years in the animal world, having grown up on a family farm, and having raised mini Aussies for many years, I have ample experience caring for pets. It is a passion of mine to ensure all animals are loved and well cared for, I thoroughly enjoy including all animals I care for into my daily adventures and active lifestyle. I work from home and would love to offer at home services to give your pet some extra one on one. I am a yoga and healing practitioner and love to extent my care and love to animals. I am stepping into the animal assisted wellness field and they are a big part of my work/life! I work from home and would love to offer your pups love, exercise, and some fantastic adventures along the way! I also raise Miniature Australian Shepherds and have come to understand doggy dynamics very well throughout my years as a breeder. I am happy to offer daily walks in the Comox Valley, and house sitting. Here I have 60 acres for dogs to run and play, spend time with other dogs, and enjoy my family’s companionship. There are outdoor dog runs if need be for my own dogs and an unlimited amount of play opportunities. Our dogs spend nighttime inside with us and we spend our days outdoors exploring.
About: I have done many long term and short term pet sitting jobs for friends, family and co workers since I was 10-12 years old. I worked on a volunteer basis at a family owned pet shop where I was the primary caregiver for the animals. I provided them with food, water, medications, extra care if needed etc. When my employer from the pet shop would go on long vacations I boarded their dog at my house while they were away. I have also done many smaller jobs in the past:) My work schedule leaves me plenty of pet time! I only work until the early afternoon from Monday-Friday and have a lenient schedule if emergencies come up! I have one dog, two cats and a horse of my own and have had experience with many others in the past, so i am able to cater to whatever your pets needs may be. If your pet requires oral medications or any other special care while being looked after i am more than happy to administer them.
“I was so grateful to have Jillian look after my kitty and home while I was away. She's very friendly and sweet and sent regular updates while we were away so we knew how Geronimo was doing. She even cleaned before she left so we didn't have to do a thing when we came home. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again. Thanks so much Jillian!”

About: Seven years ago, I found my best adventure buddy, Nikita. We're always out and about, exploring new places, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and adventuring together. I'd love to help take care of your pup whenever you're at work or away for a few days. Your dog must be ok with other dogs. 😊 I am currently on 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off schedule so I’ll have lots of time to play with your pup while on my time off (whenever I am available for bookings). I have a house in Courtenay with a big fenced backyard where the doggos can play. There are also couple trails near by I like to go to.

About: I work from home and go for frequent walks with my dog. Our place backs onto a green space so we are out a lot. I work from home and set aside time each morning, afternoon and evening for walks, and can be available if they need to go out. We have a large fenced yard with space to run and play. I always make sure there is plenty of fresh water available, and of course give lots of love and pets.
“Sammy had a wonderful time at Lizzie’s. She is a kind and caring person who really loves dogs. She provided lots of updates and great photos to put us at ease. She played with Sammy and allowed him access to her entire fenced backyard. Sammy can’t wait to be back in Campbell River so he can come for a visit!!”
“Super happy with how everything went with Brittany and our large breed dog. She was very accommodating to our schedule and sent pictures of our pup throughout the day to set our minds at ease. Our dog came back from Brittany’s house and promptly had a long nap - she was very content and seemed well taken care of. 10 out of 10”
About: Had dogs all my life and trained and rehabilitated my 15 year old border collie. Recently said good bye to both family dogs.

About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I will be your dog's best friend whether it's for a daily or weekly walk or a weekend sleepover. I have raised two dogs from 8 weeks old that are impeccably obedient. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with medical or dietary restrictions, small and big. I am here to cater to their favorite activities whether it be walking swimming or trail walks we are up for it all. I am a free lance bookkeeper and accountant that works from home. My day is scheduled around my animals and yours. Depending on the day I incorporate multiple dog walks and outdoor time throughout the day. I care for pets as if they are my own by maintaining all obedience rules of the family first. If obedience or crate training isn't a priority of yours then I can help to provide good habits that your pet can take home with them.
“Our puppy had the best time with Valeria! When I picked her up she laid at the door and was in no rush to leave haha, and she is so tired which is always a good sign for me of a fun day. She was communicative throughout the day and sent us lots of photos too, which was so nice. We will 100% leave her with Valeria again and already have plans to do so.”
About: I am a very active individual who works from home and has lots of availability to care for your pets! With a background in Zoology, I have a deep love for animals of all kinds! I’ve owned a husky shepherd in the past, I currently have two cats and have been caring for and being around animals since I was a kid. I love walking and running with dogs on local trails and can also do leash walks and park plays. I’ve fostered puppies in the past, and have cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a hybrid work schedule allowing me to often work from home in Port Alberni. I have a fenced in yard and I’m able to provide great and thorough care during the work day and evenings. On the days I work from home, your pups can enjoy outside time as long as they like while supervised. I often take run or walk breaks during the day which I love having dog company for! Flexible hours also allows me to take work breaks to fit your schedule and needs. I have a fenced yard which is great for dogs who visit or come to stay. I do have two cats so I am more keen to board and dog sit pups that are good with cats. I do have the ability to separate a dog from the cats for shorter stays. My partner and friends have dogs and this is a very dog friendly home. I understand the importance of keeping things pets shouldn’t have access to put away, while ensuring they have all the cozy comforts they need. I also have a Google Nest camera in my home allowing me to keep an eye on the pets whenever I’m out of the house. That and thorough security systems ensure your pets are safe with me.
“Audrey took great care of my dog during a doggy day care session. She was great at communicating during the booking process and my dog seemed to really enjoy staying with her. I would fully recommend Audrey to anyone looking for services on Rover.”

“Andrea was fantastic and was really accommodating with our last minute booking. Our shy dog Alba enjoyed having a friend for the afternoon while we explored Powell River. We would definitely use Andrea again!”

About: I have had dog and cat friends for as long as I can remember. For the past two years, I have been commissioned to take care of my friends and family members furry companions with increasing regularity and have decided that this the best possible way for me to continue doing what I enjoy. My availability is if flexible at the moment as I relocated to the Valley two years ago and have switched gears career-wise. My wife and I have a roommate so boarding is not an option. I am adaptable and consider myself extended family while continuing with daily routines and care needs for each individual furry friend. We will have a fun time together, guaranteed. I endeavour to respectfully leave you home the way I found it.
“Bailey was absolutely fantastic with my black lab and my moms 2 year old mix! I last minute had to dog sit for my mom and being 8months pregnant, needed a hand giving her young dog the exercise she needs. Axel my lab was able to tag along and they came back from their walks super happy, tired, and relaxed. Bailey was very professional and you could tell loved dogs! Thank you Bailey, we will be using you again in the near future!”

“I would highly recommend Fiona to any pet parents as your pet sitter. She’s a responsible person. She gives you feedback every time. I’ve used rover more than 50 times, I can tell that Fiona is my dog’s favorite sitter above all other sitters she ever met. My dog would quickly running to my door and wagging her little tail waiting to be picked up by Fiona the second she heard Fiona’s footsteps. She’s just so happy. That never happened to her before with other dog sitters. The bond between my dog and Fiona is amazing. I never told Fiona how much I appreciate her love and patience to my dog because I’m not a girl who’s good at socializing and expressing myself. But the truth is that I can always trust Fiona with my dog because I know she’s in good hands. The smile on my dogs face melted my heart. I truly appreciate it. Thank you Fiona!”
“I definitely recommend Alexia to look after your pet - she is responsive, attentive, super considerate and kind. Her prior experience with reactive dogs was evident and she took great care of my dog Luke, who's a large anxious rescue with some big feelings!”

“Cherese has been amazing. She’s incredibly accommodating (coming all the way to me in Cumberland from Merville, plus several other things!) and has a great understanding of dog behaviour. She has her own two pups, and made sure it was okay if she could bring one of them along for Alder’s walk. It’s clear she cares a lot for animals, and wants to ensure that her clients get solid feedback after every walk. Alder has seemed so much happier and fulfilled this week vs before the walks with Cherese. Very happy I found her profile :)”

I am quite flexible and the animals come first! At my home the puppers would have 2-3 walks per day and potty breaks every 2-4 hours depending on the pup! I have multiple great trails within walking distance and a plethora more within a short drive!

About: I have done drop ins and had friends/family dogs stay with me for the last 2 years and have owned my own (not anymore) dogs on and off for my whole life A pet lover with time to spare. I currently work 5 hours a day during the week and can provide early morning, afternoon and evening visits. I have a large fenced front and back yard. All animals must be well socialized with children if they are staying here, otherwise I can do drop-ins without children.
“Our dog spent five nights with Andrea and we didn’t even worry. She took him on daily adventures and even let him sleep in the bed! He is so happy, played out and not stressed at all after being away from us for so long. Would definitely recommend her services and will book again:)”
“Cat is simply the best! Our Tina had an unforgettable 12-day vacation while we were in Europe. Leaving our beloved Tina behind for almost two weeks was stressful, but Cat turned it into a worry-free experience. Not only did Tina receive exceptional care, but she also had the time of her life playing with Cat's wonderful dogs. It was clear from the moment we picked her up that Tina felt right at home and had formed a special bond with her new furry friends. Cat's communication was top-notch throughout our trip. She sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We returned to a happy, well-adjusted Tina who was clearly sad to leave her vacation behind (and maybe a little jealous of all the fun she had!). We can't recommend Cat highly enough. She's a true lifesaver and our go-to pet sitter from now on!”
“Aparna took excellent care of my dog. Honey went on a long off leash walk everyday and was given lots of time with enrichment toys. Honey loved hanging out with Aparna’s dog. I received many pictures and videos from Aparna. This was my first experience with Rover and it was a very positive experience. I definitely recommend Aparna as a pet sitter!”
“Carol took good care of Aila. Aila had a good time playing with their dog in the fenced yard and I got pictures and updates about how she was doing. Carol is good in communicating I would definitely bring her again.”
“I’m very happy with the care & attention that Brittany provided to Sam! Lots of photo’s & updates throughout her stay. I felt like Sam also had a vacay while we were away with trips to the beach & trails.”
“Yasmine was amazing with our dog, Jasper. Jasper felt very comfortable with Yasmine and settled right in at Yasmine’s home. Loved Yasmine cautious and kind approach to things with Jasper. Will definitely book again.”
