“Amber was so great with our dog! We had amazing pictures of their adventures together everyday and honestly my dog seemed very happy and healthy in her care! Amber made sure our dog was given special attention each day and you can see how much she loves animals! I would 100% book Amber again!”

“Ingrid’s home was the perfect setting for our senior Boston. She was extremely accommodating with drop off/pick up times and very thorough with personality/behaviour/routine/schedule inquiries & care instructions. She sent photos and updates while we away - it was evident he was well loved & taken care of! We will definitely leave our pup in Ingrid’s care the next time we are away! Thank you Ingrid & G :)”

“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!”

“Kevin and his wife provided an outstanding boarding experience for my dog Parker! I really appreciated their communication throughout his stay which assured me that he was in good hands and having a great time. Highly recommended.”

“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!!!”

“We simply couldn’t have hoped for a better dog-sitter for Juno. Susan has a calm and positive demeanor which is exactly what our dog needed after being in a very busy household and somewhat traumatized / fearful. Susan lives in a beautiful and serene area, fantastic for walks which your dog will undoubtedly appreciate. We loved receiving updates and photos from our pet which meant so much for us. Susan was also wonderfully flexible and accommodating when we had to prolong the dog’s stay by a few days. We are so grateful to have found her 💕”

“Missy had a fabulous time with Adam and his dogs. He communicated effectively and sent the best photos of Missy through out her stay. Having peace of mind whilst away meant the world to us! Thank you!”

“It was so lovely to return to collect Finn after 3 weeks international travel to have him calm, washed and ready to go. Carol has been a delight to work with and her communication while we were away was great. Finn and I both agree that we have found his home away from home. Thank you Carol (and Augie, Rupert and Mike) x”

“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!”

“Taryn was fantastic! Our dog clearly had a great time with her and was very comfortable throughout. Taryn was very responsive and communicative, and easy to coordinate with. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again or recommend her to a friend.”

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.
“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!”

“This lovely family took such good care of Opie. I know he was a bit of a brat but they handled him well. He loved their boys and was so tired he slept for 2 days. Thank you for your care and attention.”

“Our pup had a great stay with Lizzie! Very happy with the thorough communication we had before and during the stay and you can tell Lizzie really understands and is very patient with dogs! Will definitely book in again.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Kaleena & Trish were great dog sitters for my pup! They were very accommodating and flexible when my flight changed and I couldn’t pick my dog up until the next day. They made sure to send me photos and updates throughout the week. Their dogs were also very friendly and made great companions for my dog. Would highly recommend!”

“We had a family emergency and Andrea was willing to be flexible and keep us updated on our pup so we could focus on what we needed to without having to worry at all about our dog at home. Andrea has been making our dog feel loved and cared for by boarding when needed and daycare hangouts for over six months. She is amazing and our dog loves every minute with her!”

“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.”


About: My family has owned cats since I was 10, and I had to help care for them. Right now I own 4 cats, who are all happily spoiled. I also volunteer at the CATs shelter every Sunday, feeding and cleaning up after the cats. I am good at giving most cats medication, and have no problems with doing injections if required. I am available in the evening for longer visits if required to give the cats attention
“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.”

About: I have had a dog my entire life, most recently my boy Tas who I had for 11 great years. I love animals and will treat them with care and respect. I work a set schedule and look after pets on my days off. I have my own space with no other animals. They will be alone for minimal time in my care. I have a fenced yard, one small dog lives upstairs, who is very friendly. We have a forested area with trails where I will walk your pup.

“Madison was a lifesaver when I was in a pinch! Tuna is pretty easygoing, but I'm so grateful she stepped in while I was out of town for 30 hours. Even without an in-person meeting, she visited twice, kept me well-informed, and made everything seamless. Highly recommend!”

About: Over the past several years, I have looked after home and petals for family and friends, caring for daily routines and walks to overnight stays. I'm currently completely my masters and working part time. Recently moved back to the Comox Valley. My time currently is pretty flexible. Excited to help. Happy to take your dog for a walk, or looked after your house and pets while you are away. Excited to work with you and your pets.
“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!!”

“We are so glad to have found Fiona. She came by for a meet and greet with our rabbits and was keen to learn about them and make sure she understands how to care for them. We really appreciate her diligence and attention to detail.”


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 cared for my own two cats for 17 years and supported their elder years with special diets and meds. I was a fan of the pine and natural types of litters and understand that cats are particular and need a daily scooped litter box. I have a health care background and a deep sense of compassion and care. Though I tried to convince my cats of the merits of harness walks, they would have none of it! I'd love to 'walk' your cat on a harness if that's what they'd like. I love playing 'fetch' with cats and interacting with lots of cat toys and just generally sharing space with them.
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.
“Carissa took great care of our shy girls! They warmed up to her quickly and seemed to have a lot of fun. It's obvious Carissa has a real affinity for cats; we'd happily have her look after our cats again. The cute pictures and detailed updates were an added bonus!”


About: I was one of those people who "didn't like cats" until my boyfriend convinced me to rescue a barn cat and now I am OBSESSED and also got another cat. Over the last 3 years I have become a crazy cat lady and my cats' happiness = my happiness. I go out of my way to give them enrichment, quality food and a clean home (and litter box that is cleaned daily). I would be honoured to care for your beloved cat as well.

“Amber did a fabulous job taking care of Ranger. She was calm and thoughtful with our exuberant young husky. Communication with Amber was easy and she sent lots of photos to keep us up to date. I am pretty sure Ranger looked back over his shoulder as we walked back to the car at the end of the day. I would recommend Amber and will call on her again.”

“Janine took good care of Darla while I went to go check out the Tulip Festival. Took her on a walk to the beach and ensured she was quite entertained. Janine also frequently sent photo updates and quite responsive when I asked how Darla was doing. ☺️ Highly recommend getting her as a dog sitter.”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 15 years! Many of my friends and family members have me watch their pets when they are away, especially since my dog Bucky and I are always out and about. I have had a ton of experience with a wide range of dogs, all with different levels of discipline. My pets have ranged from small breeds like a chihuahua to a larger breed like a boarder collie. I usually walk my dogs in many different areas around the city. Regardless of your pups needs, I will be able to take them on a nice adventure through the neighbourhood, going at the pace that is best suited for their physical abilities! Please note that Bucky will always join us on our adventures, but he loves everyone! I am in school doing a flexible part time program so I have lots of availability to hangout with your dog. I do work part time but this varies each week. We will play enrichment games, play with toys, the dogs can tussle in the park, or go on a sniff-ahari. Whatever works best for your dog, we will incorporate into our time together
“Marie and her dog were simply amazing at looking after my 3 month old puppy for two consecutive days! He was so happy that he almost didn’t want to leave! He had plenty of outside play time and was happy puppy when he went to sleep. Marie is a dog lover and expert herself, her dog is extremely well trained and polite, a good example for my puppy:)”

“I had complete confidence that my dog would enjoy being with Adam. I had never left her with someone she didn't know. But his gentle, caring demeanor reasured both myself and Daisy. She went quite willingly to begin her adventure. He cared for her for a full day and I am very grateful. I was able to visit my Grand daughter with no worries about how my pet was. I hope to let Daisy enjoy more time with Adam..”

About: I’m Sandy — an animal-loving sitter with 30+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Pet sitting lets me combine my love of travel and animals while giving pets lots of love and their owners a completely worry-free vacation. I’ve spent decades involved in Pomeranian rescue, performed home checks for Little Paws Rescue, and most recently was a flight angel bringing two pups from Mexico to their forever homes. I’m especially good with seniors, shy animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work part-time remotely, so your pets get plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a non-smoker with a peaceful, easygoing demeanor. I enjoy quiet hobbies like reading and yoga — which helps create a calm, relaxing environment for the pets I care for. I’m clean, respectful, and will look after your home as if it were my own. 🐾 Optional: I share my life with a gentle, well-socialized Pomeranian named Sable. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, and is fully housetrained, friendly, and easygoing. If you’re open for her to join me, she makes a sweet, low-maintenance companion — but she’s just as happy staying at home if you’d prefer a pet-free sit. References available. *Sable's reference: She was a therapy dog at the last dental office I worked at. She helped calm nervous patients, especially children. This speaks volumes about her character. I work from remotely part time. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets and caring for you home while you are away. While you are away, I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. My priority will be to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while also making sure your home is safe and well cared for. Pet care will include: Feeding your pets according to their regular schedule and instructions. Providing fresh water every day. Giving medications or supplements as directed, if required. Making sure they receive their usual exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship. Keeping litter boxes, food areas, and other pet areas clean. Watching for any changes in their behaviour, appetite, or overall well-being and contacting you if I have any concerns. Sending you updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you're away. Home care will include: Keeping the home clean and tidy. Bringing in mail, packages, and newspapers. Taking garbage and recycling out as needed. Watering plants according to your instructions. Following any instructions for heating, lights, security systems, or other household routines. Making sure doors and windows are secure when I leave. Letting you know right away about any maintenance issues or unexpected problems. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings and will do my best to leave everything in the same condition as when you left. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
“Aparna was amazing! We were visiting from Vancouver for a wedding and were so glad we found her. Great communication before and during with lots of pictures updates, so welcoming, and Ginny had the best time ever! Would 100% recommend, thank you so much 🙏”

“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!!”

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.
“Leaving my puppy with Jaqueline was an absolute peace of mind. She was very kind and took care of my puppy in his last days of wearing the cone after his neutering surgery. My puppy loved staying with Jaqueline!”

“I’m would definitely use Yasmine again. She was great with Jasper, clear communication before, while and after. We were just visiting and needed someone to care for Jasper while out whale watching and she was perfect and convenient for the marina.”

“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: Hello beautiful community, I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, overnight sitting, basic grooming, feeding routines, crate training support, and reinforcing positive behavior. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and stimulation, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and close attention to health needs. I understand that every dog/cat has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, triggers, energy level, and comfort zones to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away.

About: I am a life long pet owner and lover! I am newly retired now and have decided my hobby would be pet sitting! My pet sitting experience (1 year so far) has taught me to able able to adapt to all types of doggie personalities as well as being comfortable to give meds when needed. I speak dog and cat extremely well! :-). I am healthy and love getting out for walks and enjoy play time with cats of all types. Interacting and doing things together with animals is the very best way to bond with them and it's just plain FUN! I am flexible and able to accommodate most schedules with notice. I am an early riser and have my own vehicle and that seems to work for walks and outings! At this time I am not able to take pets into my own home due to not having a fully fenced yard. This is something I may consider in the 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 was feeling a little worried about how Milo would react going out without me and very pleasantly surprised that he didn’t act up. Just a bit resistant but went along. Bailey is calm and talks in a nice tone to Milo. He didn’t have cause for alarm because of everything being low key and matter of fact. I’m very impressed with Bailey. He’s a very personable young man. I’m having him come tomorrow as well. I think Milo will soon really look forward to going out with Bailey.”

“Brynne responded right away to a short notice request to exercise kali for 3 days, 1 hour walks. She met up with my son the that evening for an introduction. Brynne was flexible with her schedule, professional and most of all Kali responded very well to her. Thank you 😊”

“Amelia is very professional, reliable, and kind. I have a very sensitive and at times anxious pup, and Amelia took the time to come meet him prior so we knew it was the right fit. Amelia is extremely patient and positive with my dog and I would 💯 recommend her services :)”

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.
“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.”
