“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“We are very impressed with the care that Heather provided for our boy Duncan. Our dog is on a lot of different medications given at different times of the day and the schedule was followed to a T. Will be keeping Heather in mind for the future. Thanks for treating our boy like the Prince he is!”
“Tara had a wonderful stay with Maryanne and her family, including her own fur baby. She loved sharing the couch with them and I hear hogged the space in front of the fireplace (sorry about that!). I really appreciated seeing the photos of her enjoying her time there. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!”
“Phenomenal experience. Prompt responses, amazing communication, my pup absolutely adored her and was exhausted once I brought her home. Highly recommend and will be using again”
“Ting and family were great with our energetic Lab! Very responsive and caring. Got lots of updates, pictures and videos!! I would trust them to care for him again anytime!”
“Absolutely cannot recommend Criofan enough. Her and her partner made an amazing home away from home for our pup. He has a forever best friend with her sweet pup Albert and was so well taken care of. Perfect experience for us”
“Joanne and Adam were amazing dog sitters💕 not only did they give my dog the best care, they provide me with a place to store my vehicle as well as they drive to me and from the airport. This was a major plus, so conveniently located to the airport. This saved me so much money and time. I received cute pictures of my fur baby all week. He was cared for with such love and care. Thank you so much!”
“Kelsey was great. She and her family were all very welcoming and expertly introduced my dog Zoe to hers. The two dogs seemed to instantly make friends. She was comfortable walking Zoe off lead . Also Kelsey was super flexible with sleeping arrangements. The space was beautiful, clean and well organized with a large fun back yard. I would definitely use Kelsey's services again.”
“Our dogs love their holidays with Bill and Gerie. It is always such relief to spend time on holiday without worrying about your fur babies. We are repeat customers who thoroughly recommend Bill and Gerie.”
“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!”
“Monica and her partner are gems!! My first time leave my big, 1 year old, four legged son with someone and it was a last minute decision to try find someone. I’m so glad we came across Monica’s profile. Arthur can be reactive and high energy, and stubborn, and she managed wonderfully and he had an amazing time. Would highly recommend her and hopefully will get the chance to have Arthur in her care again. Thank you Monica - and for the updates and photos!!”
“I am so happy I found Sue. It was my puppy’s first time away overnight and I was nervous and feeling guilty. Sue is such a lovely person and loves dogs. She cared so well for Charlie and loved him up while we were away. She sent me photos and updates while we were gone and a video montage of his time after the stay! I am sooooooo happy i found Sue and have already rebooked her for 9 days in April. I will have no hesitation leaving Charlie for his own mini holiday this time!”
“Bianca’s energy is calm and welcoming, we felt good leaving Emmy (senior Pomeranian) in her care. We received cute photos over the weekend and picked up a happy, rested gal. We’d be happy to have Bianca sit for us again!”

“Rachel was fantastic! My dog had such a lovely time and I think it felt like a vacation for him. He enjoyed all the activities, and Rachel was thoughtful and provided amazing updates and communication throughout the time.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shelley and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Shelley!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Connecting with Carys to provide care for our two cats was a great experience for us. We found her to be very communicative, kind and punctual. We really appreciated the pictures and updates that she sent us to let us know how things were going. We would highly recommend Carys for anybody looking for care for their animals.”
“Helen is amazing! She really helped us out with pet-sitting our cat when in a tight spot and on short notice. I definitely felt confident Koi was in good hands while we were gone. I almost think Koi was a little disappointed when we returned home, hoping we were Helen instead 😅 thanks so much again!”

About: Hey cute dogs and responsible dog owners! I am a german dog trainer and I miss working with dogs so much! Since I am here in Canada, I work part-time from home and unfortunately I am not allowed to have an own dog, where I live. For the past 8 years I worked with more than 45 dogs and I fostered more than 30 dogs in my own home in Germany (mostly rescues). I used to worked with three german animal protection associations as well. My specialties are: - leash pulling issues - creating a better bond and relationship between dog and owner - behavior in general - issues at home I can´t wait to meet you and your dog! I work part-time in my own business at home, so I am able to organize my own times, when I work. But ideal is after 11:30 am. I know, how to read dogs. I work with dogs all my life, even as a kid, I worked with dogs at german dog parks. I was the youngest trainer in my town, who ever worked with dogs. And mostly, I often like dogs better than humans - to be honest. Dogs are just amazing. I will always take care about the safety of the animal, that - for me - is job one. Also I won´t give anything to the pet (treats, toys), that I haven´t talked through with the owner beforehand.

“I am obsessed with Alyssa! She took amazing care of the dogs and had the best commentary - she totally “got them”. She was very open and clear with her scheduling and most of all I felt perfectly safe that the dogs were in her care. I’m very grateful for her support! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hello! Canada is my 37nd country:) Although I am an engineer, currently I am giving online English lessons. p.s. I don`t have a car.

Make sure they are vaccinated on time and be given flea pills etc. Boarding/Housesitting: I have lived alone for many years so I am not bad at house chores and I am a tidy person.

Also, please let me know if there is no hot water/no heating/unusual stairs/ladders that I have to use at your home.

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.
“Ben had a great time at daycare! There was playing with other dogs, hiking, and nap time when everyone was tired. Tiana is the best at sending pics! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”
“Anisha is great! She is very professional and communicative. Even before daycare, she let us know there would be another pup in her care and made sure our pups would be compatible before booking :) We left our 6 month old puppy in her care, and he came home tired and happy-- he had lots of play time! She was attentive to the notes in his profile and we were provided a debrief of his day. She is so good at understanding and managing puppy behaviors! We would really like to book her services again if we can find time in her calendar.”
“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”
“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’m the lucky one to have Monica and her boyfriend. She’s such a fantastic caregiver and sent me a lot of photos all day long. It just likes that I am with my fur baby the whole day. Dongdong was relaxed in the pictures and made a new friend. I won’t hesitate to book Monica again.”
“Robin and Vivi, animal lovers are easy to find, but responsible animal lovers are a race breed indeed. We are fortunate to have found you, great family committed to providing lots of love and care for our coco. We loved receiving updates on what coco was up to throughout the day; the regular photos and videos where so cute. Thank you Robin and Vivi again for all your love and care. Coco says Woof woof ?”
“Kathryn is a true animal lover through and through. I could not have asked for better for my older dog. I was stocked to have my dog to spend the day with her family. She did tons of nature walks! I would recommend her.”

“Devyn did a great job with our very anxious husky for the day. Although she was a bit nervous at first, Devyn made her feel comfortable and she eventually made herself right at home, which we saw from the pictures Devyn sent through the day. We would not hesitate to use Devyn again when we’re back in the area!”
“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.”
“Nick and Chialin were amazing with Frankie. Nick took special care insuring our girl had a relaxed, comfortable afternoon at their place. Took her for a nice walk and hung out with her while being kind and attentive. She came home relaxed and happy. Thanks for taking great care of our girl!”
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.
“Bianca was great with our little guy Bruno, she was very accommodating when we had some issues with our building and had to change the schedule. She is responsive and we will not hesitate to bring our dog to her care next time we require it.”
“Andrea took my dog in last minute and freed up some days to watch her longer. I was able to bring macie to her house beforehand to see if Macie was comfortable and could trust her giving all of Macie’s medications. She also sent me photos everyday which I really appreciated !”
About: I've loved and cared for animals for over 15 years. Growing up, I had both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a mom, I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to details. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work from home, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. If your pet enjoys companionship, they're welcome to relax beside me in my home office while I work. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and never left alone for long periods. I enjoy having pets around, and I treat every one of them as part of the family while they're with me. My home offers a safe and pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, as well as a large open green space directly in front of the house that's perfect for walks, sniffing, and exercise. Every pet has different needs, so I always follow the owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and any special care requirements. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated during certain times, I'm happy to accommodate that. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine. I also have two young boys, ages 10 and 3, so I ask that pets staying in our home are comfortable around respectful children. We believe in creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, welcome, and part of the family.
“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”
“We were really nervous about leaving Leo with someone but Vicki made the process so easy! She was so understanding and communicated with us throughout the day. Leo came home tired and happy! :)”

Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, walks, litter care, and playtime to help pets feel secure and comfortable.

I respect crate-training preferences, provide plenty of enrichment, and am comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. In a client’s home, I ensure their space is kept clean and routines are followed exactly. In my home, pets enjoy a quiet, supervised environment designed for safety and comfort.
About: I have taken care of a friends puppy, house-sat dogs & cats, walked dogs, fed both cats and dogs, gave medicine or vitamins, picked up dog poop, and cleaned cat litter. I work full time and can walk your pets in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can house-sit on occasion if we come to a mutual agreement! I communicate with you about your preferences and custom needs before we get into an agreement. I will send you a questionnaire to help make the process smooth!
About: Originally from California, I spent 4 years consistently volunteering at the Animal Rescue Foundation (an organization that saves dogs and cats from inhumane public shelters). My responsibilities began with basic shelter essential chores, and as the months progressed I undertook training to specialize in Dog Care. I helped rescues become comfortable with human interaction by reading books to them. I learned how to monitor their body language, making adjustments to my approach so that the dogs feel more relaxed during their temporary time at the shelter. To be appointed this position I underwent a series of training, as well as written and hands-on examinations. In the summer of 2021, I was hired as a professional dog walker — taking up to 8 dogs at a time! Through this role, I learned crucial skills of safe dog walking. I have over five years of experience on Rover as well, and have built trusting relationships with my pup clients and their owners. I have an incredibly strong fondness for animals, and treat each one as my own. While I am unable to care for dogs at my own residence, I am available to come to you! I do dog walks, house drop-ins, and house sitting. It would be an honor to become a friend and caretaker to your beloved pet! Safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a 1 year old miniature dachshund named Baguette, who loves other dogs and is very friendly. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m a quick responder. Schedule: I work remotely and have a flexible schedule at the moment, especially for house sitting where I can just work remotely with your pup and give them love all day! House Drop-Ins: During my house drop-ins, a list of food portions and any important info is greatly appreciated. For dogs that require medication, detailed instructions and dosage are necessary to ensure safety. It’s also great to know your dog’s favorite toys or exercise activities! In the past I have done house drop-ins for senior dogs who can’t necessarily handle a regular walk, and prefer a play in the yard or a stroll around the block.
About: I have always had a huge passion for animals and knew that they would be apart of my career. I also have experience working with fish, reptiles and small animals. I began dog sitting as a favour to friends and family and have enjoyed it so much that I want to continue doing it as much as I possibly can. My love for animals will never stop growing and I would love to add your pet to my list of animals to love! Please message me if you have any questions or corncerns, I am very flexible and available whenever needed. I am working part time up to 5 hours a day. This can be negotiated if needed of course, just reach out and we can discuss. I am able to come to your place and take your dog for a walk or house/dog sit. I am also available to care for cats, reptiles, small animals such as hamsters, and fish.
About: Hi There! I'm Amber and I am a fur mama to two Chihuahuas. I love all animals (more than people). I have babysat my friends and families pets for years (puppies too!).

I am also available to come for potty breaks multiple times a day. My chihuahuas are my babies. They are part of the family. We go on 2-3 walks a day, play fetch in the yard, and lots of snuggling. They have full range of the house and of course sleep in the bed. I make them healthy home cooked meals.

I work part-time in my own business at home, so I am able to organize my own times, when I work. But ideal is after 11:30 am. I know, how to read dogs. I work with dogs all my life, even as a kid, I worked with dogs at german dog parks. I was the youngest trainer in my town, who ever worked with dogs. And mostly, I often like dogs better than humans - to be honest. Dogs are just amazing. I will always take care about the safety of the animal, that - for me - is job one. Also I won´t give anything to the pet (treats, toys), that I haven´t talked through with the owner beforehand.

About: Hello! My name is Isabella and I’m originally from Mexico. I’ve grown up in a home surrounded by dogs, which sparked my lifelong passion for caring for animals. I just graduated from Ecology at Thompson Rivers University and I’m also an active volunteer at local animal shelters. These experiences have deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and well being. I have over 7 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, working with a wide range of breeds—from small, energetic pups to larger, strong dogs like Labradors. My top priority is always the well-being, safety, and happiness of your pet. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure each pet feels loved and secure in my care. I am happy to look after your dog in your home to ensure the health and safety of all animals I look after. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and promise to keep you updated with photos and videos while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I have all weekdays and weekend free. As a recent graduate, I am currently looking for a job so I will be home all day taking care of your furry ones. My previous experience in my Mom's dog sitting company has given me the tools to provide the best possible care of the furry pets. I provide food, fresh water, and any medications needed at appropriate times, following the given schedule to optimise the pet’s wellbeing. I also personalise the care for each pet, taking into consideration their age, health conditions, energy levels, etc. I like to keep them entertained by playing with them and taking them on walks if agreed with you first. My walks always prioritise safety, providing the best experience possible for you and your pets. Letting them take their time while smelling plants and nature is crucial to ensure they enjoy the most. I offer on leash and off leash walks depending on your personal preference.
About: Hello Pet Parents! My name is Kassie and I have been caring for animals ranging from hamsters to cats and dogs since I was a young child. My love for all animals has taken me into a career specializing in preventing cruelty to animals; through the BC SPCA. I've had dogs and cats throughout my life and if you choose me to watch your babies, they will be well taken care of! I work from home so my schedule is flexible! I love long walks and can throw a ball for hours! If I am boarding your pet, I do have a 1 year old tuxedo cat in the home. He is incredible. He loves dogs and cats and has been the best foster dad in the past! I look forward to hearing about your fur babies! I work Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm. I would walk your pets or come to your home to check on/feed them before work and after work if I were attending to them at your home. If they’re at my home, I have the flexibility to play with them at any point in the day & take them out In my home, your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free of hazards, with cozy resting spots, secure outdoor access (if needed), and plenty of stimulation to keep them happy and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding to playtime, and ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether they’re here for a day or a week, they’re treated like family.

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!

“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“We are very impressed with the care that Heather provided for our boy Duncan. Our dog is on a lot of different medications given at different times of the day and the schedule was followed to a T. Will be keeping Heather in mind for the future. Thanks for treating our boy like the Prince he is!”
“Phenomenal experience. Prompt responses, amazing communication, my pup absolutely adored her and was exhausted once I brought her home. Highly recommend and will be using again”
“Ting and family were great with our energetic Lab! Very responsive and caring. Got lots of updates, pictures and videos!! I would trust them to care for him again anytime!”

“Joanne and Adam were amazing dog sitters💕 not only did they give my dog the best care, they provide me with a place to store my vehicle as well as they drive to me and from the airport. This was a major plus, so conveniently located to the airport. This saved me so much money and time. I received cute pictures of my fur baby all week. He was cared for with such love and care. Thank you so much!”
“Kelsey was great. She and her family were all very welcoming and expertly introduced my dog Zoe to hers. The two dogs seemed to instantly make friends. She was comfortable walking Zoe off lead . Also Kelsey was super flexible with sleeping arrangements. The space was beautiful, clean and well organized with a large fun back yard. I would definitely use Kelsey's services again.”

“Monica and her partner are gems!! My first time leave my big, 1 year old, four legged son with someone and it was a last minute decision to try find someone. I’m so glad we came across Monica’s profile. Arthur can be reactive and high energy, and stubborn, and she managed wonderfully and he had an amazing time. Would highly recommend her and hopefully will get the chance to have Arthur in her care again. Thank you Monica - and for the updates and photos!!”
“Bianca’s energy is calm and welcoming, we felt good leaving Emmy (senior Pomeranian) in her care. We received cute photos over the weekend and picked up a happy, rested gal. We’d be happy to have Bianca sit for us again!”

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.

“Devyn was amazing and took very good care of Jax. She was very responsive and flexible which made everything very easy. I didn’t have to worry about him at all and knew he was in good hands.”
“Rachel was fantastic! My dog had such a lovely time and I think it felt like a vacation for him. He enjoyed all the activities, and Rachel was thoughtful and provided amazing updates and communication throughout the time. This was our first time leaving our dog, and it was a very positive experience for all of us. Highly recommend her for any and all animal care needs.”
“I am a return client and my dog Charlie always has a good time with them. Good communication and they were able to accommodate a short notice request. Glad to have found a great sitter :)”
“She did such an amazing job looking after Lugnut. He’s a big, sensitive dog with some extra needs, so leaving him with someone isn’t always easy for us — but she made the whole experience feel calm and comfortable. She sent photos, kept us updated, and genuinely made me feel like I could relax knowing he was in good hands. Lugnut was clearly cared for, understood, and treated with kindness. We’re so thankful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets.”
“Amelia was very phenomenal taking care of my dog Tails. She was also very accommodating and understanding when I couldn't make it on time for pick up due to flight disruption. Strongly recommended to everyone for her outstanding service.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“Finding the right caretaker for my girl Rosie - who can be very shy and nervous around new places and spaces, and experience stress while we are apart. I wanted to ensure she would be with the best caretaker, and this was particularly important as I planned to be away for an extended period over the holidays. Thankfully, I came across Heather’s reviews and was able to connect with them before boarding Rosie. This provided me with a sense of relief and assurance to know she would be in a loving home. Rosie experienced an exceptional level of care and love and grew comfortable and content under Heather’s care. From daily walks and adventures to routine brushing, and homemade broth; Rosie was such a happy girl! Her sweet, loving, and active personality got to shine including her beautiful coat! Beyond grateful I had connected with Heather - I highly recommend her services. We will certainly be repeat customers.”
