“Andrea was really great with Izzy. She was patient and made her comfortable in her home, allowing her to settle in. She played with her while understanding her boundaries and play style. Andrea was communicative and kept me updated while I was away. Izzy took to her and her family right away and I felt good knowing she was in good hands. Thank you!”
“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.”
“I've just taken Harvey to Kevin/Kayla's home and he loved it! Thanks Kevin for the care and professional attitude. Doggo will definitely want to go back to see you many times. This was my first time doing boarding and I believe I was more nervous than doggo. All good and he wants more! See you soon Kevin!”
“We feel so grateful that we found Kendall. She took such good care of our Duck Tolling Retriever for just over two weeks. He was spoiled rotten by her and cared for with so much love. Kendall was amazing from the start, she was patient with the meet + greet asking all the right questions to ensure it was a good fit. She truly cares. She sent videos and photos throughout every day & provided updates. We could tell Red was happy and comfortable and having the most amazing time. Red was sad to leave Kendall - which is bittersweet for us - but gave us the reassurance that he was treated so well!! You will be making the BEST choice to choose her to take care of your fur baby!!! Your dog/cat couldn’t be in better care!!!”
“It was my dog’s first stay away from home and we were both a bit nervous. Marlisa has a calm and gentle manner and a lovely older dog so my dog gradually settled in. I’m pleased with the care and attention she received from Marlisa.”
“We are so lucky to have Daisy & her family take care of Corkey again. He’s always so happy and well-cared for. I especially like that the whole family is involved in the care. No hesitations with asking them to take our Corkey again!”
“Natalie was great!! Super easy communication and very flexible about drop off and pickup. Milo is a quirky dog and Natalie was very easy with him. She sent pictures of their adventures and stayed in touch throughout Milo’s stay. Milo did not seem stressed or anxious and I would absolutely book Natalie again. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“We went to New Zealand for 6 weeks. Alisa looked after Lucy and sent us photos. Alisa communicated often and sent us photo’s of Lucy relaxing in the house, playing with Haiko and going on walks. If I asked any questions, Alisa responded quickly. I knew that Lucy was well looked after, and because of Alisa’s care we were never worried and could enjoy our time away. I will only use Alisa and family in future to look after Lucy. I recommend Alisa highly.”
“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!”
“This is the second time we’ve trusted Michaela and Ben to care for Bella, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful care they provide when we travel. They give us complete peace of mind while we’re away and always keep us updated with photos. We highly recommend Michaela and Ben and will definitely use them again!”
“Holly was wonderful with our cat who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Our cat is leery of strangers and since being diagnosed, she is highly stressed and not easy to manage. Holly was extremely patient and never gave up on her. At the end of four days, our cat was affectionate with Holly and loved being petted. Holly even managed to administer insulin injections, and her no-nonsense approach and perseverance paid off. We received pictures and videos which kept us in the loop with everything that was going on. We are very happy with Holly’s care!”
“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!!!”
“Vicki's great! Always responds quickly. She's relaxed and flexible when we've needed to make last minute changes. But most important Blue LOVES going back to see her – pulls on his leash to get in the door, and comes home blissfully exhausted from playing. Thanks Vicki!”
“Great experience with Alex and Scarlett. They were very easy to communicate with and our pup was very well cared for. They sent lots of pictures and updates while we were out of town.”
About: I've looked after dogs and cats my whole life! I started getting paid to do so at 15. I've since done long term boarding for colleagues and friends alike. I am newly living without a dog of my own and am wanting to fill that void in my life by taking care of your pets! I have experience with puppies-senior dogs and cats and experience walking social dogs as well as reactive ones. I work Monday-Friday on a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home or pop home midday to check on pets if needed. For the most part I am home evenings and weekends. I am an active person who loves a good long walk myself, located in Vic West where there is lots of prime, safe, dog walking paths. I live in a townhouse style unit that is very dog/cat friendly. I am used to having a dog around who was smart and creative in finding food or getting into the garbage so I have a child lock on the pantry, no houseplants and human food is never left out where someone might help themselves. I don't have a yard but I do have a large balcony for pets that like lounging in the sun and am located in an area that makes several walks a day a breeze! I love providing detailed updates and photos/videos to owners so you can see that your pet and I are having a blast. I have plenty of experience with both anxious and senior animals. My home is a calm, quiet environment and I very infrequently have anyone else coming or going.
“Sandeep took excellent care of Mocha and Bailey while we were away on our 2 week vacation. He sent us photos and videos everyday which brought us great joy and comfort. You can tell Sandeep strongly cares for animals. I would strongly recommend Sandeep to anyone looking for a genuine caring dog sitter.”
“Ida and her dog Nala were very welcoming to our dog Maika who was quickly integrated in the family. It was her first time sleeping anywhere else than home. They played with her, brought her to walks, nature parks and dog parks, cuddled with her and remained attentive to her needs. We loved receiving daily reports with pictures of the day. At the end, our dog was reluctant to get in the car with us, as she had a great time with Ida and Nala. It helped that we first booked Ida for a walk then for a one night sleepover so our dog knew we would come back after our 5 nights trip. We will definitely book Ida again!”

“Sarah made us feel comfortable from the start with her skills and friendly demeanor. She documented every step of her visit so that we could be confident our senior cats with complex needs were well cared for. We would not hesitate to book Sarah again as our cat sitter.”
“We have asked Ashley to take care of our fur babies three times now, and every experience has been excellent. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our cats are always calm and happy when we return, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. Communication is easy and consistent, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Karin was a wonderful sitter. We received daily photos and updates for Toby, and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing he was in great hands. Karin asked lots of questions during our initial meeting and Toby appeared very comfortable with her.”
“We love Marcia! She is always willing to help and is great at communication. She loves playing with Fawn and gets lots of kisses/licks from her when she comes to visit. Thank you Marcia for being our sitter :)”
“Cathy, took such good care of our cat including giving him his meds and making him feel loved. We came home to a relaxed and happy kitty and a spotless house too! Cooki and I both give Cathy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!”
“Courtney was very easy to communicate with and was really accommodating with all of my senior cat’s needs. He came from the weekend at her house seeming very relaxed and contented. Thanks again, Courtney!”
“Maddy was amazing with our 18 year old kitty Jesse ,she helped us out at short notice with a 3 day stay over and we couldn’t be happier with Her. We would recommend her to any pet owners looking for help.”
“Kate and Grant are fabulous humans who looked after our kitties as if they were their own. They kept us up to date and let us know how our fur babies were doing. I highly recommend them, and they are now our go-to pet sitters. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who will take the best care of your pets, they are the ones!”
“Stephanie was an amazing cat sitter. We were completely at ease and knew we could relax on vacation knowing Ollie was in great hands. Stephanie was a great communicator, sending us pics every day to show that Ollie was settled in nicely. I can highly recommend Stephanie and we will be using her again for sure.”
“Sonya is the finest house sitter there is. She cares for my cat with tons of attention. She leaves my house in better shape than I left it and is communicative and responsive. Thanks again!”
“Kaori did an amazing job checking in and visiting with our two kitties. She sent lovely pictures and videos that put our minds at ease. Additionally, she even vacuumed our litter area and brought in a package for me! We would love to have Kaori watch our kitties again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been looking after and interacting with animals of all types, furred & otherwise, since I was able to stand up say hi! Well versed in sitting, walking (or jogging), playing, and providing care in general for dogs, cats & rabbits (well maybe not walking the latter two as much) for both friends and family, I'm sure I can provide the care and attention you desire for your animals as well. My most current long-term care experience is with a rescue rabbit I share a home with. I've learned a lot about animal care, respect, and boundaries by carefully observing body language and learning his needs. I enjoy learning more about his quirks and teaching him new tricks. In addition to the bunny, I currently reside with a few creepy-crawlies! Part-time hours during my weekdays currently often leaves me quite flexible, especially afternoons, for walks, check-ins or play-time! I am mainly involved in contract gig-work, which does fill some of my weekends, so I’m not always available Mon, or Th-Su, but happy to fit it in when available! Please check my calendar or ask about availability! I regularly enjoy going for walks (long, or short) around Victoria, so I'm regularly available for, and interested in, bringing a four-legged friend along for the adventure! I’m a firm believer in getting down to an animal’s level when interacting with them, especially with new introductions and being in an animal's home space, and would do everything possible to make an animal feel comfortable with new human interactions. I take animals' trust seriously and do my utmost to keep eyes open and respond to their needs to maintain those relationships. Making animals as comfortable as possible is my goal, and I'll do my best to keep you up-to-date on your furred friend's experiences while I'm looking after them on your behalf. I'm also happy to maintain, to the best of my ability, your pet's routines and expectations, and will touch base with you to learn as much as I can about your pet to set myself up for success! Let's chat and work together to meet you and your pet's needs!
“As usual, Miriam does a fantastic job watching our cats. We really appreciate her in-depth reports and pictures after each visit! Highly recommend her to any pet parent!”
“When she came for the interview she broke down all the information and things to do. She gave us updates while we were away and took good care of our pets and our home.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. From BIG to small, from scaly to silky, my experience is vast and I LOVE them all! I trained my puppy Owen, and now 16 years later I'm assisting him in his old age. In 2001 I fostered a stray cat who birthed my kitten Tiny and two others. I had Tiny for 18 glorious years. My dedication to animals and commitment to excellent care is truly my life Passion. Currently, I work as a casual in the healthcare field. Specifically with adults with adverse abilities. My schedule is extremely flexible allowing me to make my own hours and availability. My care is based on the clients needs. I am extremely active, allowing for more high density walks or runs. I am also very intune with your animals mood and energy. I find like people, some days we wanna stroll or go with the flow and other days we wanna fly like the wind.
“Kate did an amazing job taking care of our cat Sid while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and detailed every visit. He was fortunate to have Kate checking in on him. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

“Katy and Rachelle took such great care of Jet with short notice, and their dog Tater graciously shared the space! Jet was happy and healthy when I picked him up 🙂”
“Shravistha and her husband were very warm and welcoming from the moment I dropped off my puppy. I explained that this was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and they were both very understanding, patient, and caring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was safe and comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. My puppy received lots of attention, affection, and excellent care. I truly appreciated the regular updates and communication. I highly recommend Shravistha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! 🐾❤️”

“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 !”
“Rojin took wonderful care of our little dog, Paulo. She was reliable, kind, and clearly very caring with him. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“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.”
“Finn and Kai were great with my reactive dog. It’s always tricky finding the right people to take on that challenge. They are conveniently located near a very pet-friendly hotel (Hotel Zed) so it worked super-well for our weekend trip to Victoria.”
“Melissa took great care of our little Luna! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous to leave our heart and soul with someone we didn’t know but Melissa was very reassuring and communicative to ease our worries and sent lots of pictures and updates! We would definitely use her again and recommend to anyone else looking for good care for their pup. :)”
“We’re so happy we found Priya and Sandeep. They were kind, professional, and really considerate of us and our pup. We felt comfortable leaving our boy with them immediately. Thank you again! We’ll see you soon! Colin misses you!”
“Romeo came back happy and we received a couple of updates during the day which was lovely I appreciated the quick communication and ability to book the next day as well as Mackenzie's willingness to introduce her cat slowly and keep an eye on them. Now we know Romeo is OK with them 😊 Will book with her again”

Holly was wonderful, Pickles absolutely loves her and would look forward to her visits. Holly was consistent with her schedule, and flawless in her excellent communication and updates. I had no concerns or issues with her caring for Mr. Pickles. We will certainly be asking her back when there is a need. We can't thank you enough Holly!! 💚”
“Aisling provided walks and care for Mackie while we were away. Aisling was super dependable, knowledgeable and very caring, even providing updates and pic's of their daily walks. We would highly recommend Aisling.”
“Kirk was absolutely wonderful with our dog Henri. This was our first time booking with him and we honestly couldn’t have felt better about it. He took such great care of Henri, kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear from the start that Henri bonded right away with him. What really stood out was how attentive he was - when Henri seemed a little off one day, Kirk checked in right away, adjusted the walk, and even offered to come back later just to make sure he was okay. That kind of care gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Kirk truly cares about the fur babies he works with. We came home to a happy pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend!”
“Kaori was lovely!! Very communicative and flexible. Izzy had the best time going for walks with her, and she always provided a detailed summary with lots of photos. Will definitely rebook!”
About: Growing up, we’ve always had dogs. I’ve always gotten to walk them (2 at a time), and now, I also love walking friends’ dogs with them! I always work from home, part time, with a flexible schedule, so apart from the occasional meeting here in or there, I’m almost always available. Every pet is unique, so I coordinate with the owner to see what the pet needs. When I meet a pet for the first time, I give them the space necessary for them to feel comfortable, and wait for them to reach out.
“Madelaine was so great with my dog! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. My dog Bridget is very anxious and timid to new people but I trusted her in Madelaine’s care and knew Bridget was in good hands. She was very patient with her and Madelaine is a very warm, kind person in general. :)”
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.
“Taylor is great. She was responsive, on time and organized in addition to being a very nice person.? She was confident with our dog and I felt relaxed knowing she was responsible for her. Thanks so much.”
“Kate was a dream dog walker with my dog Xena. I had adopted her <5 weeks before Kate's walks and she is working through separation anxiety, recovering from a dog attack and learning new routines for walking, bathroom breaks and feeling safe. Kate's communication and organization is more than what you expect. She asked smart questions about commands, changes in training needs and comfort levels (mine and Xena's), and was able to help create a space where Xena had noticeable progress in just 2 visits! Kate was great helping Xena play with other dogs at the park, dealing with stubborn boundary testing leash behavious, letting me know of new behaviours like stick chewing, flagging Xena was ready for new toys / stimulation and giving (and receiving) cuddles. Kate's love for animals, intuitive and caring nature and grounded energy makes her a treat for any dog lover to rely on.”

“Silvia and Andrea are both very friendly and easy to communicate with. My dog has had weekly walks with them for a couple weeks now and is both very happy to leave for walks with them and a tired pup when back home. He isn't friendly with other dogs, and I feel very comfortable in Silvia and Andreas ability to avoid and handle and situations with him ♡”

About: Hi! I’m Alma, and I feel really lucky to have grown up around dogs - from tiny Chihuahuas to Poodles and mixed breeds. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’ve cared for different types of dogs, including high-energy and intelligent breeds like Border Collies, as well as smaller dogs and poodle mixes. One thing I've noticed is that energetic dogs tend to respond really well to me, and I find it interesting to learn what they enjoy the most. As a pet owner, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. That’s why I pay close attention to how they’re feeling and what they need - whether that’s a long, active walk or a calm, relaxed one, always respecting their pace and routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they're doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and my goal is to make sure they feel relaxed, understood, and genuinely at ease in my care. Feel free to reach out if you think we’d be a paw-fect match. I’d love to meet your pup! I’m primarily available for morning walks during the week, and I try to keep a consistent schedule. I also have some flexibility, so feel free to reach out! I’m happy to accommodate when possible :) Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow routines and instructions, and I stay fully attentive throughout every walk. I choose safe, dog-friendly routes, keep dogs securely leashed when needed, and remain aware of my surroundings at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing - giving you peace of mind while they’re in my care.
“This was a fantastic first visit. I am a very anxious dog Mom and have two dogs that need extra attention and care. Richelle was there, took notes, and definitely eased my mind. Will definitely be using her again for an away trip :)”

“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.”
“Natalie was great!! Super easy communication and very flexible about drop off and pickup. Milo is a quirky dog and Natalie was very easy with him.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets for friends and neighbors. I bring a calm, attentive energy to every visit and take pride in creating a safe, positive experience for each animal. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walks in throughout the day. I’m typically available on weekdays, with some evening and weekend availability as well. I do my best to accommodate your dog’s routine and keep things consistent for them. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety and comfort. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I’m mindful in clients’ homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and respectful while creating a calm, loving environment for each pet.
