“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!”
“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”
“Rachel was great! Good communication and very friendly. We were on holiday from the states and our schedule changed a lot due to drive times and sightseeing. Rachel was very kind to pivot with us. Also, one of our dogs had special instructions with his medication, and she handled it without skipping a beat. She took great care of our boys! Would highly recommend her!”

I highly recommend Alisa to care for your dog if you are in search of pet care now or in the future.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Shravistha is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Jena is the best! She was communicative, easy going, and took great care of our Phelps! She even made time to meet with us and Phelps before to make sure it was a good fit. Her pups were great companions for our boy and her lifestyle is conducive to filling his days with action and fun! Would definitely book with Jena again. Thanks Jena!”
“Tiana was excellent with Finn! He had so much fun with her dogs and she has a great outdoor space for them to play and run around! She was constantly updating us with photos which made us feel great about being away as we knew he was so well taken care of! Will definitely use her again and Finn will be so excited to return 😁”
“Chinel and Cristian exceeded all expectations. They responded immediately to questions and sent lots of updates and pics. My dog loved her time and spent the next day sulking because she missed her new dog friend Benny and being so spoiled with belly rubs and cuddles. It was also a very hot weekend and Chinel and Cristian were extremely thoughtful and conscientious taking Wembley on shaded walks and putting their own cooling kerchief on her. I highly recommend leaving your fur babies in their kind and responsible hands. Thank you so much Chinel, Cristian and Benny!!!”
“Kaori was excellent with my dog. She was very communicative, sending me photos and videos, and made my dog feel comfortable and welcome. I will definitely use Kaori again in the future.”

About: I’ve loved cats and taking care of cats ever since I was young. I used to live on a farm where I would take care of many strays. I also have experience taking care of kittens as well!
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.
“Emily was amazing! I felt super confident knowing she was coming to check in on my kitty. I got lots of photos and updates, and always got a reply within the hour. Will def be booking with her again and highly recommend!”
About: I have care for cats since I was a child my oldest cat was 19 when they past last year. I love cats and enjoy their judgey ways. I am able to medicate and give subcutaneous needles (diabetes, b12).
About: I have always wanted to look after animals since I was a kid. My husband and I fostered rescue dogs in Alberta to help get adopted. I have also cared for a variety of small caged animals over the years. As your house sitter, I will be present in your home for the entire duration of the stay. This is great if your pup does not like to be left alone. I am able to administer simple medications if needed. I am also able to care for small caged animals in my own home and we can discuss this arrangement if you are needing this service. House/pet sitting is my priority. When you hire me, I will not need to leave your residence for other employment. This is great if your pup does not like to be left alone. I will care for your pets following the daily routine that you have already established for them. If the pets are used to a morning walk then I will take them on a morning walk if that is preferred. If your pets are happy to simply play in their yard while you are away I would be happy to do that as well. I usually like to arrange a short meet and greet prior to the first overnight stay to familiarize myself with your pets and their home.
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for many years, I have experience with all pets. I have worked with all different sizes and breeds, I have also worked with different temperaments. I’ve dealt with shy and timid dogs, to aggressively not good with other animals or humans, and of course loving and super friendly dogs. Pets are my passion and I only have what’s best interest for them :) I have tons of references if wanted, I am super flexible and just happy to help with your furry family members. I am happy to just drop by and give a snuggle or out for a bathroom break, and I am also happy to stay at your home for as long as you need. I currently work part time, my job is flexible so I am able to check on the pets anytime during the day! I am always home by 3pm so plenty times for adventures and snuggles! I am very attentive to pets needs, I love playtime, snuggles, and adventures! I live by lots of trails and beaches perfect for the Adventurous pups!

“Kassie was very nice and responsive. Our cat has happy and healthy as normal and I'm sure that she did a great job dropping in on him while we were out of town camping. Would totally call again for future kitty care. Thanks Kassie!”
About: I have been aware of caring for animals since I was 10 years old. At a young age I volunteered in an operation for animals that had undergone surgery, taking care of them after surgery. I have also rescued animals from the street many times to find them families and I am proud to say that all the animals I have cared for have been rescued from the street. I have also always cared for animals belonging to family and friends.
About: As an interior designer, I spend my days creating spaces that feel calm, comfortable, and welcoming, and I’ve always taken the same thoughtful approach with the animals I spend time with. I’ve loved animals my whole life, and spending time with them has always brought me a genuine sense of happiness. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and veterinary clinics, as well as cared for dogs and cats for family, friends, and through referrals. I love getting outside for walks and hikes, and there’s nothing better than having a four-legged companion along for the adventure. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers a slower pace, I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I own my own interior design business and primarily work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, meeting their needs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after until you’re home again.
“This was our first experience with using Rover and I must say that we are very pleased with Kirsten’s care of our cat and home. We’ll be asking her to come back again this winter. Thank you!”

“Carrie was wonderful with Cooper who was a little anxious about being without me because we have been traveling for 2 weeks. It was an early drop off for a fishing charter and she was wonderful with cooper. I can’t thank her enough for being the support the cooper needed. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hello, nice to meet you! I'm Claudie, a 31-year-old from Montreal. As a freelance graphic designer, I have the flexibility to work from home, which allows me to offer pet sitting services. I also have a car, so I can take your pet to the vet or any necessary appointments while you're away. I live an active lifestyle that includes surfing, Pilates, hiking, and running, so I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors - especially with furry companions by my side. I often travel with my long-time partner, Thomas, a 31-year-old teacher from Canada who’s always chasing the next great wave. As a freelancer working from home, I have the flexibility to change my environment while enjoying the company of pets. I love the balance it brings - caring for animals while maintaining my work routine and incorporating them into my active lifestyle (hiking, walking, running). I also live in a house in East Sooke, close to many forest and seaside walking trails. My backyard is surrounded by nature, and I can easily secure a pet on a leash so they can safely enjoy the sun while I work outside beside them. If a pet’s routine is quite structured, I adapt my work and activity schedule to match it. Otherwise, I usually start the day with something active (running, walking, or hiking) and go for another walk in the afternoon. Since I work from home, pets always benefit from my company, whether I’m working indoors or outside. I’m also just a text or call away, and I love sending daily updates and photos to owners. Having a car makes me very flexible in case of an emergency.
“Andrea took such good care of my girl Piper. Piper can be quite anxious (and as a result I get anxious to leave her with anyone!) and Andrea was so understanding and patient with her. She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jena is fantastic. She was very open and easy to talk to during our first visit, and it was obvious how much she adores caring for the animals in her charge. Dexter (he's the golden Horgi in her pictures) took to her, her two little fur babies, and her inviting home right away. From his first stay, he jumps out of the car and runs right for her door. Jena is flexible, compassionate, and I feel completely comfortable knowing Dexter is getting the best of care. Oh and I must not forget, Jena takes the time to send me no less than 1 picture each stay, which not only makes me feel more secure, but is giving me and unending album of pictures to share . Thank you Jena, You rock :)”
“Bianca was wonderful! She had great communication and sent regular photo updates, which we really appreciated. My dog is very shy and timid, but Bianca did an amazing job and made her feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“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!”
“really happy with the care my pups recieved. both are young and full of energy but came home tired amd happy. my youngest has seperation anxiety and always howls and cries when i return but she was pretty calm this time. i recieved pictures and grace even paid enough attention to notice harlow was a bit dehydrated and let me know. they were also able to book me in fairly last minute which i was greatful for. if i ever need a sitter in victoria again i will be contacting these folks first. :)”
“Chinel & Cristian are fantastic people and dog sitter. Cody went back happy and tired. Love a lot of photos and updates. Thank you doing such a great job. I will definitely book again.”
About: My experience over the years with dogs has been with a variety of different breeds, ages and behaviors. I volunteered fostering dogs at the Victoria Humane Society in 2022 where I gained a lot of experience with different temperaments and ages/mixed breeds. The highlight of my experience was working for Island Miniature Schnauzers outside of Sooke in 2016 for 8 months. My duties were: Home Life training for adopted puppies. This provided the new owners one week of me training the puppy at my home. This included walking on leash for the first time, crate training, schedule for house training, socializing with other dogs and people to name a few.. I provided video and pictures to the new owners to keep them up to date on progress. I also took older Shnauzers who were used to farm life and adapted them to urban life by going on leashed walks, greeting new dogs and people. I also learned to groom puppies and older dogs as well. You can see in all my photo's with the Schnauzer puppies and dogs that I trained while working for IMS. Over the years I have taken care of friends/family dogs and cats at their home. I treat all animals like my very own. I massage them, comfort them them and just love them up! I have a nice sized backyard that is fully fenced for play. There are many trails, beaches and lakes that we go on each day. Depending on your dogs level of care, adjusting the cost is a flexibility I offer. I am retired and am home most of the day while caring for your pet. We walk once or 2x a day and I have a nice sized backyard. Games and training time are incorporated into our day. I aim to make it as balanced and fun as possible. I offer 2 walks a day. There are many places to walk close to my home & the galloping goose trail is behind my gate. My backyard is a good size for running and zoomies. Naps and downtime are a must for a happy healthy dog. The dogs sleep with me unless they need to be in a crate.
“We are so happy to have found Criofan and this beautiful farm for our pups. Leo and Millie had the most wonderful time. Criofan was easy to communicate with and sent us photos of our dogs running, playing with balls and soaking in the doggy pool. They were both so tired hahaha and happy puppers at the end of the day. We will be back for sure!!!”
“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.”
“Kirsten was so great with my baby, Koko. Communicating with her was so easy and she was very accommodating. She provided updates and pictures throughout Koko's stay. Koko had such a great time - she was completely wiped out when she got back home from having a fantastic day with Kirsten. I will definitely be using Kirsten's sitting services again.”
“Woody was very comfortable staying with Alanna! Alanna sent us photos and a video during the day, reporting on his activity. She had an old pug so the two old guys kept each other and Alanna company all day. Alanna was very flexible and accommodating of the day care—I recommend her totally!”
“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”

“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: Recently had to say goodbye to my baby girl of nearly 20yrs, missing her snuggles and purrs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your sweetheart(s) when you're away and would be honored to care for them and keep them company until you return. I always grew up with pets and have pet-sat for friends through my teens & adult years. Litter boxes, dog-poop patrol, medications or special diets - your furry friend will be well looked after! I'm self-employed and currently working part-time so my schedule is relatively flexible. If you live in Sooke, I can easily check in on your pup during the day and am free most evenings & weekends to get them out for walks and/adventures. I love hiking and exploring different trails. I'm only able to board cats at my place, they will be comfortable inside with windows to perch and watch the world go by or soak up some the warmth of the sun. I have a cat tree, scratching post and toys to keep them busy. I am available to dog-sit in your home or simply provide check-in visits, bathroom breaks, and walks. To start, tell my about your pet's usual routines and needs and I'll let you know how I can support that. Then we can discuss and see if I'm the right sitter for you 🙂

“Trina was so wonderful! I knew I could trust her and did not feel an ounce of worry being away at school knowing she’d be taking my fur baby out for his first dog walker walk! She clearly knows what she’s doing and Bogus had a wonderful time! He cannot wait for his next walk!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked with horses for five years and have spent the last three years working with and around dogs. I also raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, who is now a government-certified service dog. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine through walks, enrichment, training, and personalized care. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and giving every pet individual attention. I provide attentive, personalized care in every home. With parks, trails, and Beacon Hill nearby, pets enjoy safe walks, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection.
“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: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention.

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 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

“Kelsey was very friendly, and she provides an excellent place for dogs at her residence . Also very helpful & flexible with scheduling. We look forward to using her again in the near future!”
“Carrie was amazing with our anxious, reactive, and highly energetic gal. We were really impressed with the level of care she provided including being able to give Ivy her medication and take her on lots of nice hikes! Thank you, Carrie! We didn’t have to worry about leaving Ivy behind in your hands!”
“Bianca was great. Sent tons of updates while I was away, took a max out on a bunch of adventures with her other dogs and had he had a happy and healthy stay. Can’t ask for more. Would definitely book with Bianca again.”
“Criofan took excellent care of Handsome! He had a lot of fun, and her well-trained delightful dog is H's new bestie. She was responsive, intuitive, and attentive, ensuring that H fit in, and that he remembered to eat! He came home from his adventure tired but happy. The dream! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”
“Rachel was great! Good communication and very friendly. We were on holiday from the states and our schedule changed a lot due to drive times and sightseeing. Rachel was very kind to pivot with us. Also, one of our dogs had special instructions with his medication, and she handled it without skipping a beat. She took great care of our boys! Would highly recommend her!”
“Tiana was excellent with Finn! He had so much fun with her dogs and she has a great outdoor space for them to play and run around! She was constantly updating us with photos which made us feel great about being away as we knew he was so well taken care of! Will definitely use her again and Finn will be so excited to return 😁”
“Iris looked after Tucker for two weeks in August. He loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend Iris and will definitely rebook the next time we are in need of a sitter.”
“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 :)”
“Stine and Walton were terrific hosts for our dog Mac. They sent lots of photo updates, took her on hikes and adventures, made sure she got loads of cuddles and love, and went above and beyond by doing things like making pupsicles (frozen kibble and water) on hot days. We will 100% be boarding our dog with Stine and Walton!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Emilia and her family watched Macie for several days recently while I made a trip out of town. It’s clear that Emilia and her family are friendly, and very dog- and owner-focused. The boarding went very well, I received updates about her stay, and I all items I provided were returned to me when I picked Macie up at the end of my trip. I’d not boarded Macie before so I was worried about potential problems or issues, but there weren’t any. Thanks very much!!!”
“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!”
“After months of stressing and trying to find the perfect sitter for our 12 yr old baby boy, we found Amanda 5 days before our 12 day vacation. The minute Sam stepped into her home, he was ready to stay with her. It was the perfect meet and greet. I got updates everyday and Sammy was smiling in every picture. Amanda treated Sammy like family, making our vacation so care free. We are so happy to have found Amanda, her sweet son and lil pup. Sammy came home a very happy boy. Thank you, Amanda. We adore you and are excited to leave Sammy in your care again.”
“Gus had the most amazing week! Lots of updates, I always knew how he was doing and didn’t feel the need to check in more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! You will not be disappointed choosing Anqian and Alexandre!!!”
