“Shane was a very caring dog sitter. Teddy stayed with her as we head on a prolonged trip. She kept us fully up to date every day and seemed to bond with him very well. I would recommend this sitter to anyone. Thank you Shane!”
“Ollie was very well taken care of by Lindsey and her family. The kids are so sweet and told us that they didn’t want him to leave. Lindsey was very welcoming and had Ollie meet their friendly two dogs before we left. It’s good to be able to leave and not have to worry! Lindsey was very helpful with arrangements to drop him off earlier. We will book him with Lindsey again.”
“Five stars for Karin (and her family). They are a treasure and Watson enjoyed his stay with them. I felt comfortable leaving our 6 month old puppy with her as not only is she a kind, generous and caring person - BONUS here - Karin was a vet in her home country. It is a pleasure to recommend her and I am confident you’ll find the same great qualities in Karin as I did.”
“Linda has been responsive and gives extra attention to Walter! Her place is huge backyard and dedicated enclosed cage that even large dogs can comforatbly fit to sleep at night. I would definitely book her again on our next trip!”
“Maryanne and her family were wonderful! They watched our 8 year old, food obsessed dogie, Stella for four nights. They took her on walks, off leash dog park time and truly let her feel like she was part of the family. Maryanne was very easy to get a hold of if necessary and provided great photo updates. I got to meet her husband, her daughter and Max (their fur baby) for a meet and great before we cemented the sleepover and I felt very confident that the family LOVES DOGS! My husband and I are thrilled with Stella's easy temperament when we picked her up, which we know is a testament to the love, care and consideration that they gave to help welcome our Stella into their family. Thank you so much, truly, it took a weight off our shoulders while we were away.”
“Glory loves going to Danielle’s and having the chance to play with Gibuu. Danielle works on training points with Glory so she comes home even better than when she left!”
“Andrea and her family took great care of our Loki for a week, following the care instructions we provided and sending us frequent updates and photos. We felt Loki was in great hands, we would not hesitate to recommend her and book with her again if we are ever in need again in Victoria!”
“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 :)”
“Lauren and Andy and their dog Zeus were very welcoming to my dog Robby. They were caring and diligent and very flexible. I would certainly recommend them to anyone, and look forward to using their services again.”
“My pampered pooch is with me all the time. So when I needed care for my dog, I needed someone special and AMY was the person who did a perfect job, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away. Daily updates showed multi-pics of Minnie out in nature enjoying herself or relaxed after a fun time of play with Amy. My dog had someone 24 hrs a day. She was treated as special and that was important to me, as she is! Highly recommend Amy. Also, pickup was so easy. All belongings packed and Amy waited at the door as we text back and forth. Communication and response time also excellent.”
About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.
“Amy was amazing! She sent tons of great photos throughout the stay, and it was clear how happy he was the whole time. When we got home he went straight to bed — he was completely worn out from all the playtime! We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Highly recommend!”
“Erin was wonderful with my doodle and also very accomodating for drop-off and pick-up times as driving took a little longer then expected one day. My dog was very calm and happy when I picked her up so I was glad to know she was well taken care of by Erin.”
“Heather was great about getting back to me in a timely manner for planning last minute, and sent lots of photos of my pup for me. It looked like Dolly had a great time there and appeared to be very comfortable when i arrived to pick her up, really appreciate the help and will be using Heather again in the future!”
“Criofan is absolutely amazing with dogs! It’s so clear how much she truly loves and cares for animals. She was incredibly dedicated to our dogs’ well-being, safety, and happiness the entire time. Her dog Albert was the perfect companion and brought so much joy, exercise, and positive energy to our dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

About: I have experience with cats of my own and others, I have one cat currently but have looked after family/friends/neighbour's kitties in the past. I am confident in administering medicine and other special care your cat might require!
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing and most definitely a cat whisperer! Our dear cat is very nervous and shy but Jennifer had her feeling so safe and comfortable. Jennifer was able to offer such generous care and updates to us, navigate our cat's medication and made sure she was safe during a heat wave! Above all Jennifer is simply a kind and thoughtful person and we are very grateful to have had her to look after our cat. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough!”
About: I have experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from outgoing supervisors to quiet observers. I focus on calm, routine-based care and take the time to let cats set the pace. I’m comfortable administering medications, keeping litter boxes very clean, and following detailed care instructions. I pay attention to small changes in behaviour or appetite and adjust care as needed. You can expect thoughtful updates and photos, and the reassurance that your cat is being cared for in a way that feels familiar and low-stress.
“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: I’ve always owned cats. I grew up with cats and so did my children. Unfortunately my current living situation does not allow cats so I have lots of time for yours. I’m currently working less than 30 a week so lots of time to care for your cats. My profile picture is of my cat Goldie and dog Parker
About: Hi! Thank you for checking out my profile! I am so excited to meet your wonderful furry friends. I have been caring for animals for going on 7 years.

I am confident working with senior dogs and cats, and puppies and kittens. Additionally I have worked with countless rescue dogs and know how to work with anxious dogs. Animals are more than pets to me, they are family. Your pet deserves enrichment, love and safety. I strive to bring all of this to my care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets at home so I want to make this process as easy as possible for you. Giving you thorough updates, communication and trusting experience. From one animal person to another, I’m so excited to connect! 😊🐾 I work from home so pet care works perfectly into my schedule. It gives me the freedom to travel anywhere and be with the pets most of the day When I care for your pet in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect. I will treat it as my own, being clean, responsible and and considerate.
“Dorothy is true gem. She took care of my cat (and for awhile, my dog) during a very chaotic and stressful time for me. She was very kind, and flexible during this unpredictable period. She sent pics of my pets to me everyday, which was so comforting. (She even found a toy that my cat, who doesn't "do" toys, seemed to enjoy.) Superlative pet care. Thank you Dorothy. I have no hesitation in recommending you in the highest terms.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. I treat animals with respect. I have little well train dog from Mexico. Learning to train her has given me more confidence to handle other dogs. I’ve foster dogs several times and loved it. Your dog will be loved well cared for ❤️ Walks are in the morning (7am-10:30) and after 3 pm. One hour long and with or without my dogs company. Depends of the preference of the other dog. I follow the instructions that the owners leave as each dog has its own routine and it’s important to keep them on that schedule. In order to make the dog feeling stable and safe.

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.

“We were very happy to leave our dog with Bee and Scott and their dog. Our dog was well cared for as Bee walked him a couple of times, at least for an hour.each time. Our pup enjoyed playing with their dog who was very well behaved. Bee fed our dog lunch and cuddled with him on the couch. Bee's love of dogs and her affection for our dog was obvious. Bee sent us several pictures throughout the day which we enjoyed. We felt reassured leaving our pup with her for the day. We would recommend Bee and Scott as dog sitters!”
“Kristine was so accommodating… on a last minute booking. She welcomed Ruby with lots of love and enthusiasm. She sent us photos and updates which we we loved. Ruby was well cared for.”
“Danielle is wonderful! I trust her with my dogs completely and she has great communication around what she offers and expectations. She has a wealth of knowledge on dog behaviour and she applies it to support my dogs’ learning where it’s needed! She also sends updates on the day and even takes them on adventures, etc! Highly recommend! She has been a huge relief and help to me as a single working person!”
“Linda provided amazing care for my dog! Super helpful to deal with, accommodated my busy schedule, and my dog came back happy! Thank you so much for looking after my precious pup. I feel lucky to have found you, and will definitely be back again:)”
“Jessica took wonderful care of our dog Hooper while we were on a whale watching trip. She took him on good walks and to the beach. She has a calm and kind way with animals and we are so glad she was able to spend the day with Hooper!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for 4 cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of different pets. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I also offer boarding in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where your pets will get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work part time for myself from home, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to stay on top of feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 5 acres of space for dogs to explore and play, along with a fenced play area for safe outdoor time. I also have a friendly 2 year old lab to keep your dog company. I’m able to crate dogs if needed, depending on their routine, to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.
“Amy is magnificent! I was a bit hesitant to put in a review as I want her available for my mutt! ;-) She is very calm and zen, loving, open and warm which was evidenced by our first meet and greet where she got on the floor and my girl just cuddled into her arms. She sent photos and updates without me asking and was flexible with last minute changes keeping Lily overnight. It is my Lily (the white French Bull Dog) that you will see on her sitter profile, and you can see for yourself how wonderful Amy is.”
About: Dear pet parents, over the past 8 years, I’ve been traveling the world as a full time house and pet sitter lovingly caring for dogs and cats across six continents. For me, a home without pets simply doesn’t feel like home 🐱🐶 Along the way, I’ve also regularly worked in animal rescue which has given me experience with anxious animals as well as administering medication. I'm currently living and traveling in Canada and would love to offer my services. Feel free to message me and I’m happy to share lots of positive references 🤍 All the best, Verena I am currently studying online and spend a lot of time at home myself, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. However, since I also love being in nature, I enjoy taking long walks and even longer hikes. I prefer to care for animals in their familiar environment, at your home, and I do my best to stick to their usual routines and daily habits, as I have found through many years of experience that this is what is best for the animal. :)
About: I worked at my local humane society back when I lived in Ontario where I was responsible for daily enclosure cleaning/maintenance as well as keeping an eye out for any unusual or concerning conditions. I handled the animals and made sure to give them some love while I could. It wasn’t my job to do that much, but I just love animals so much and that job brought me a lot of joy. Aside from that job, I’ve handled pets most of my life. I’ve had cats, dogs, and more personally for 13 years I had a conure, and for about 7 I had a rabbit. Because of this, I’m very experienced with birds and rabbits especially! I am great with cats too, but my household does have one. She’s an old lady that sleeps mostly and if needed can easily be kept away from any other animals. At home I currently live with a cat who belongs to my sister, but I am her auntie and spend tons of time with her and look after her in ways such as helping with her inhaler, helping clip her nails, brushing, and so on. If my sister is away for any reason, she is fully under my care. I have a spare room that is pretty well empty with just a guest bed next to my room in my house, and because I live with a cat with Asthma, I try to keep all spaces (especially that room) scent free. I also have no problem staying at a client’s place for a few nights if we’ve established some comfortability and familiarity. I don’t have supplies or enclosures on my own, so all that would have to be provided by the owner.
“We really enjoyed having Lindsey as a pet sitter for our 4 month old puppy Barkey. Barkey loved his time with her. He was always excited about going back. 10/10 I would highly recommend, we will definitely rebook Lindsey in the future.”
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I’d love to make your travel easier by caring for your beloved fur babies while you are away from home. I work from home and can rearrange my schedule during the day to stop in and take your pets out for potty breaks or a quick walk or cuddles. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so if your pets overnight here, they will have my full attention. I live in Sidney very close to walking paths and parks for walks and playtime.
“Tippy loved his stay with Heather. He's an active puppy and she was so good and patient with him. We appreciated the updates and pictures showing Tippy looking completely contented in her beautiful home and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. Thanks Heather and we will definitely be using your services again.”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough about how great Rachel is. I highly recommend her. My dog Kai loved spending time with with her and be a farm dog for two days. If you need a dog daycare please use Rachel, she’s fabulous”
“Amy was great to book with and made it easy for me as I was visiting from out of town! She was able to accommodate a last minute daycare booking so I could go fishing with my Dad. She was fast and easy to communicate with and made the booking process easy and stress free. I would highly recommend booking with Amy.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of many dogs for friends and family while they are away. I raised my first dog (In my adult life) from a puppy, right through to his end of life. I also have cared for our current dog who we adopted, so I have had exposure with dogs that are experiencing re homing and adoption senarios. I love walking dogs and believe strongly that an active dog is a happy dog! I am currently looking to change careers to dog walking and sitting and am very flexible with schedule. I am available for walks from 7am-3:30pm weekdays and can be open to weekend walks as well. For in home sitting I am available weekdays and weekends after 6pm for over night stays. I am very flexible for check ins and supplementary visits/ walks during overnight stays. All walks and visits can be curated to most schedule needs with enough notice and communication. I take all the measures to care for your pets in the same loving secure way that I can for my own pets. I require all dogs to be leash walked until a safe trust has been created between all parties involved. Obviously all safety concerns of the client as to the care of their pet will be followed to the best of my ability and instruction.

“Quill loved his stay with Joanne and Adam. And I was so appreciative of how accommodating they were and with sending regular updates on my boy! I am so grateful to have found them on Rover - they are the perfect dog sitters and showed Quill so much love! Thank you Joanne and Adam!!!”
