“We were so happy that Maggie enjoyed her stay with Andrea. Loved receiving a picture of her and hearing about her time with Andrea when we picked her up. Thanks for the wonderful care you gave her !!!”
“This was my first time booking Rover and I was extremely nervous to have someone looked after our dog overnight. I picked Kelsey as her profile seemed a good fit for Boo. Kelsey was proactive and offered to have a video call with us before the actual onboarding date. Kelsey is very professional and caring and welcoming to Boo! Not to mention, her cute and friendly dog Frankie! They have a nice sized yard for Boo to run around and play. Kelsey kept us updated about Boo’s trips and activities. My anxiety and fear went away- we just want the best for our fur baby when it comes to proper care. Boo returned with a huge smile on his face and a wagging tail. I highly recommend Kelsey.”

About: Hello! My name is Emily and I am an animal lover living in beautiful Sooke. I've lived in Greater Victoria for most of my life and grew up with cats and dogs. I own two black cats, and live with four of them in total! While my experience is mostly with cats and dogs, I like (almost) all animals, except for arachnids. I am comfortable doing basic grooming (brushing, nail trims) on both cats and dogs as well as driving pets for appointments or adventures. I am available for walks, drop in visits, overnight care in your home, and more. Rates are flexible and I am also open to trades for goods or services.

“Emma did a great job caring for my cat and home. Trustworthy and a great communicator. She sent me frequent updates and photos of my cat which I appreciated. Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. From playful kittens full of energy to calm senior cats who need extra patience and attention, I know how to provide the right balance of love, safety, and comfort. I can handle feeding routines, litter box cleaning, grooming, giving medications if needed, and making sure your cat feels safe and happy while you are away. I truly enjoy spending time with cats, playing with them, and building trust so they feel loved and cared for like they are my own
“David was fantastic with our two cats. He brought treats and scheduled a meet and greet to get to know them and they were immediately comfortable with him. He sent lots of pics/videos of each visit and even cleaned up a broken plant from one of the menances whild we were away. Great service!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and genuinely love getting to know their individual personalities and quirks. I’m particularly attentive to feline body language and use a gentle, consent-based approach to interaction, allowing cats to set the pace rather than forcing affection. I’m comfortable with detailed care routines and medication, including oral medication when discussed in advance. I also love going beyond the basics by learning each cat’s favourite toys, providing enrichment and play, and making sure they’re comfortable and settled before I leave. I want your cat to feel cared for, not simply checked on.
“Etienne sent updates and photos of our cats throughout their stay which was a great peace of mind. One of our cats had a minor medical event in our absence and he alerted us to it and helped where he could.”
About: J’ai toujours adoré les chats depuis mon plus jeune âge, et j’en ai eu trois lorsque je vivais chez mes parents. J’ai beaucoup d’expérience personnelle avec les chats, ainsi que de l’expérience en garde. Des voisins, amis et colocataires m’ont souvent fait confiance pour prendre soin de leurs chats pendant leurs absences. Je suis une personne douce, attentive et patiente, et je m’assurerai que votre chat reçoive tout l’amour, les soins et le confort dont il a besoin pour se sentir en sécurité et heureux 🩵

“Some of the clearest and most punctual communication you can find on this I could tell Bari felt very much at ease right when we handed him off. Thank you a million times Audrey!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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
“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”
“Montana was very communicative and great with our very shy guy! I think Marvin is bummed to come home with us after all the fun and cuddles he had all afternoon. Thanks so much! - Marvin and family”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the experience of caring for them throughout my life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and caring, and I treat every dog as a member of the family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I enjoy walks, playtime, companionship, and giving dogs the attention and affection they need while their owners are away. Most importantly, I provide reliable, responsible, and loving care you can feel confident about. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home and available every day. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets, including walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and giving them the attention they need. I enjoy being around dogs and would be happy to make them part of my daily routine. I provide safe, loving, and reliable care while following each pet’s routine at the client's or my home, has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, exercise, and relaxation. I also keep pets comfortable, supervised, and treated like family.
About: I’ve spent the past 6.5 years happily spoiling and caring for my own small dog, so I understand how important it is to give little dogs the right balance of love, attention, routine, and care. I’m very attentive to what dogs can and can’t eat, and I’m comfortable preparing specialized home-cooked meals when needed. I take pride in keeping dogs happy, healthy, clean, and well cared for, and I’ll treat your pup with the same level of care I give my own. I work remote 80% of the days, and calendar is open only for days I’m 100% home, because I understand the separation anxiety our little ones experience. Only take 1 dog at a time so each fur baby has enough love and attention. My chihuahua is fully vaccinated with annual health check up to date. I have a 2 bedroom apartment with large living room, plenty of room for them to run around. I also do 3 short walks per day for potty breaks and can also accommodate for indoor potty.
“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!”
“We are so thankful for Katy and Rachelle! They really helped us out in a distressing situation when we were scrambling on short notice to find a sitter.. We live in Kelowna and we needed daycare for our 4.5 month old aussie shepherd so we could spend the day with family and friends to celebrate the life of our son who recently passed. When dropping Roxi off, she didn’t even care that we were leaving her, which speaks volumes to the gentle vibe that Roxi could sense immediately. Katy and Rachelle gave Roxi the care and love she needed. If we ever need a sitter while traveling to Victoria we know who we’ll book!”

I've had 2 dogs, a cat and a horse in my lifetime, and I recently adopted a German Shepherd! So you can trust me when it comes to caring for your four-legged family member. As a healthcare worker, I know how important confidentiality is, and I can be discreet with key locations, alarm codes etc. I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters when I travel to Mexico, Belize etc I look forward to working with you, and caring for your pet (dog or cat) as if they were my own!!! I'm a CT/X-ray technologist with a part-time schedule. My availability varies. I strive to keep my calendar up-to-date. I work days, evenings and weekends. My consistent day off is Tuesdays.

About: I’ve had pets all my life both cats and dogs ; I’ve fostered kittens for pet stores. I currently have a Maltese mini poodle who is 10 yo. I have flexibility as I work remotely as a consultant. I’m home everyday so can easily care for the needs of your pet with walks nearby. I have a Maltese mini poodle named merry who is very gentle , aged 10.

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.

About: I am a huge animal lover and have assisted in the care of my family's two high-energy dogs for over half my life! I have also been trusted by family friends to provide care for their cats. I currently attend university three days a week, having classes end 2:30 at the latest. My courseload is light leaving me lots of time to spend with your pets. I will treat your pets and home as if they are my own. On top of providing care for your furry friends, I am happy to water plants and perform and other household tasks.
About: I have been looking after dogs (and many other animals including cats and horses) for 15+ years as favours to friends and family, so I have a massive love for all furry creatures! I have grown up with dogs and can detect body language changes, and know how to defuse situations if they do escalate. I have worked with dogs who are other-dog reactive, and know how to cater our walks to suit their needs without additional stress. Whether you are looking to have you pup join Atlas and I at our enclosed acreage, or would like me to simply drop in to visit and break up your pup's day with a play in the yard, I'm happy to do it all. Currently on a very open schedule due to the nature of casual work, and am looking to continue building up my experience here on Rover! :) I am a casually employed person, so have multiple weeks of time off in which I can dedicate to pet-sitting! Whether you're looking for just a few days, or something more extended, I can accommodate both needs. I have a fully enclosed rural acreage with automatic button-controlled gates, and reinforced wiring along the bottom two panels of fencing. We live on a quiet street with a few school children that commute in the morning/afternoon, but otherwise, not very busy. A lovely, safe, interesting space for them to explore and enjoy.
About: Lover of all animals. Throughout my life, I’ve owned and helped care for dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, and even reptiles! I grew up with dogs, have dog sat for family and friends throughout my teens, and have provided casual care for friends’ dogs in my adult life. Though I haven’t had the space for a dog of my own yet, I hope to adopt someday. In the meantime, I figured pet sitting would be the next best thing! As for cats, I have cared for my own the past 9 years. I love cats just as much as dogs while understanding the behavioural differences between the two. I live in the West Shore, but commute downtown a couple of times a week for work, allowing me flexibility for drop ins and walks whether you’re in the West Shore yourself or downtown. On the weekends, my availability is very flexible and I am typically able to provide even full time care on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I have a calm and patient demeanor and always take the time to help make pets feel more comfortable. I understand how stressful it can be for pets to be separated from their people and want to provide as inclusive and stress-free of an environment possible for them while providing the utmost attentive care for their needs.
About: Hello! My name is Taylor (they, them pronouns). I am an experienced pet owner and pet sitter. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Large dogs, small dogs, medium sized dogs with a variety of needs and energy levels. I love walking and getting exercise and would love to take your dog with me! I can also do drop in visits for dogs and cats! Thank you :) I work from home and am in school so I can do morning or evenings on weekends and I can do weekends anytime of the day. I am very sure to follow any specific pets needs as I have had pets with a variety of needs and have also pet-sorted for pets with a variety of needs.
About: I am a young professional who loves the outdoors. I spend most of my time being very active outside. I enjoy hiking, running or long walks on the beach in all types of weather! I have always loved dogs and have spent many years being around them and caring for them. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters and guinea pigs, mice, frogs etc. I often volunteer to take friend's and familie's dogs for walks in my spare time or pet sit over longer periods of time. I genuinely enjoy the company and energy that dogs bring. I have a life long ambition to care for animals who have been neglected or poorly treated. Apart from being active, I also enjoy downtime/ snuggle time with older/less energetic animals. I have a gentle touch and a lot of love to share for 4 legged friends, no matter the size or temperament! I am currently taking the Summer off so my schedule is wide open for all your furry friend's needs! Please feel free to reach out regarding any availability questions/concerns. I have a large property (a dogs paradise!) but I am also happy to go on as many or as little dog walks/fetch dates as needed for whatever length is best suited for your dog. I have lots of experience with anxious animals or unsocialized pets so therefore I am confident I can keep your fur baby safe.
“We’ve hired Ramesh several times to walk out our big dog Bernie. Ramesh is very trustworthy, always quick to respond and 100% reliable. We highly recommend Ramesh and Lauren.”
About: I have spent most of my childhood into early 20s rescuing dogs and either rehoming or keeping them for their full life span. I can care for your dog like they are my own! I love getting outside any chance I can get and typically work my regular job in the evenings so this provides a great morning routine for dogs whos owners typically work early mornings and through the day. I care for pets by using positive reinforcement when learning new skills and providing lots of attention and time outside so they do not develop bad behaviours in the home or in public.
“We can’t recommend Vanessa highly enough! Our dog can be sensitive and requires some extra attention, and Vanessa has always been wonderful about carefully following our instructions and making sure our pup is comfortable and well cared for. She is extremely communicative, sends great photos and updates after walks, and is someone we completely trust. Knowing our dog is with Vanessa gives us real peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker.”
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!
“My oversized puppy always misses Bryce on off days. He's great with my pup! Punctual and always gives notice in advance of any schedule changes needed. Great with updating me on arrival and activities they did together. He even helps with poop scoop and training on occasion. Always great to work with. Takes changes to puppy schedule very well and him being a Vet student is a huge relief for me as a new dog owner as he can offer advice and knowledge for any concerns or questions I may have. Definitely recommend. 100%”

About: I have been a successful dog sitter/walker for much of my life. I inherited one of my client's dog which ended my 'house sitting' career. Now I own my own home and can offer short term dog boarding. I have two very well adjusted small dogs (one male, one female) who have been very accommodating to any doggie guests both sharing their home and out on walking adventures. We spend time in pretty local parks, or travel to local nature trails and sometimes take a walk through picturesque neighborhoods where there are new scenic opportunities and of course sniffing!💓 I am a devoted dog owner/lover and I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I can provide references on request. I look forward to meeting new little friends. My motto, You're dog won't miss you till you get home! I'm now working full-time from home so I am able to be very attentive to every dog's needs. There's lots of communication and excellent treats! I have a well fenced yard, and two well behaved dogs of my own to keep your loved one safe and comfortable. I spend most of my day with my dogs. Nobody goes unnoticed or acknowledged.
About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for about 3 years now, and I also worked at Pet Valu for 2 years, which taught me a lot about dog nutrition, health, and behaviour. I got really comfortable understanding different temperaments, keeping playtime safe, and knowing what different dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds! puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, and the more shy or anxious ones too. I make sure every dog gets attention, affection, and a routine they’re comfortable with. I like to keep things fun, calm, and stress free, and I always treat pets like my own while they’re with me. I offer daily updates (with cute photos), exercise and enrichment, walks, feeding, cuddles, and just making sure your dog feels loved and secure while you’re away!

I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have access to fresh water, and get the attention, playtime, and exercise they need. I maintain a safe environment by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring for any hazards, and following all specific instructions from the owner. I also keep the home clean and comfortable, and provide updates to owners so they can have peace of mind while away.

“We had the pleasure of meeting Annastasia during our first time using Rover. She was so easy to communicate with and very reliable to take our dog for a walk. Annastasia was fantastic and we would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi! My name is sarah, and I would love to care for your furry family member while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day and will never be left alone for long periods. As a dedicated pet owner with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, I understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and accommodating your dog’s individual routines and preferences. I’m also happy to provide references from previous pet care experiences upon request. I share my home with my friendly 7-year-old, 40-pound dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a calm, easygoing personality. Because I live in a condo without a yard, I make sure dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to provide a safe, loving environment that feels as close to home as possible. Whether your pup enjoys cuddling on the couch, going for walks, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I’ll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I also know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you informed so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work full time from home. 1 sweet dog . I live in a condo but we go for 3 walks away, our lunch time walk is an hour, in the mornings and normally to the dog park after work, but that’s only if your dog is comfortable with dog parks. I have a sweet rescue dog. I’m at home full time and would love another pup to hangout with us in the day or over nights

“Audrey was absolutely amazing!!! 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!!!!!”
“We were so appreciative of the great care Rachel and her family gave our girl Holly while we were out of town. She sent us lots of photos while Holly was there and that really helped my kids see that Holly was safe and having fun. We would absolutely love to book with Rachel again!”
“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!”

“Michele was easy to plan a visit with before our weekend away, so my dog was more comfortable upon drop off. She shared photos, my dog looked very relaxed during her visit. (It was her first time being dog sat out of our home)”
“Alexa took super care of my cat Remi, she sent me pictures all the time and supplied a litter box as well as a bunch of other stuff. She made the process super easy and personable. I would highly recommend using her. Thanks again Alexa!”
“Great experience! They took wonderful care of my dog over 5 days, keeping me updated and making sure everything went smoothly. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Tommy was an amazing sitter. He's very professional, and detail-oriented. Great at making sure your pup gets the love they deserve. I will definitely use Tommy again!”
“We love Kirsten!! She is definitely one of the best sitters on rover. She was so accommodating with our pickup and drop off requests. Our 1.5year old dog Watson had the best weekend at her place, she was in constant touch with us, kept us updated with photos and I could see that my dog is being handled with lot of love and care. I do hope she can become my go to sitter for Watson.”
“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!”
“Megan was available at short notice and provided a nice, cool air conditioned room for my furry friend while I attended my daytime obligations. I received a mid-day check in with a photo which was very nice. Thanks Megan.”
“She is an excellent pet sitter, and I felt completely at ease leaving my senior dog in her care. My dog is small, timid, and can be nervous around other dogs, but she made sure that all interactions were safe and comfortable for her. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with photos and videos, which meant a lot to me and gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and treated her with kindness and patience. I am very grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have not owned a cat in many years but always enjoy their company. Even the most unsocial cats seek out affection and attention for me. I have been involved with farming and farm sitting since I was a child. I work a couple of part time jobs in healthcare. My schedule for meeting with clients is flexible and can easily be worked around pet care commitments. I have walking trails and a fenced dog park in my neighbourhood. I have a spacious home and areas of my home can be closed off in order to assure a safe environment when I am not able to be around to observe the pets in my care directly.
“Rizzo had a great time with Emerald! Communication the entire time was super easy and she sent great updates and pics of my girl 😊 I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with her and she came back tired and happy from some big walks! I would definitely book Emerald again if I am in the area! This was my first time using Rover to have Rizzo stay overnight and it was a really great experience. Thanks again Emerald!!”
“Such a wondering experience . Natalie saved us after our regular gal wasn’t able to take our dog last min. She provided regular updates and was super responsive. Our old guy was well taken care of and will definitely send him back to her next time.”
“Amanda and her son were the best we could find for Simba when we want to vacation. My puppy had a blast and even missed them when he was back with us. Amanda kept in touch with us daily while we were away, giving us updates and sending us pictures. Amanda is highly recommended if you looking for a dog sitter.”
About: Both my partner and I grew up with rescue dogs of all sizes, ages, and breads and had our own senior husky up until the end of 2025. We both have years of experience with both reactive and non-reactive dogs. The breads we have the most experience with are huskies, boarder collies, labs, doodles, and Great Pyrenees but are comfortable with any and all doggies. My partner works fully remotely so is at home all day during the week. I myself work 5 hour days 4 days a week. So any pets will very very rarely be left unattended. We are both very active individuals with routine gym sessions, outdoor walks, and runs as we are so close Thetis Lake. Our home has a fully fenced in yard with some room to play. Our yard is additionally fully surrounded by a large hedge that offers good privacy. We also have room for any crates if needed for you pup. As mentioned previously, it is rare that your dog will be left alone during the day so frequent bathroom breaks are available.
