“Andrea was a great choice to watch Frank for the month that I traveled abroad with my family, She gave me constant updates and was able to cater to Frank's special needs (diabetes). Frank seemed really happy during his stay, so as a dog parent that made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Andrea and I will be using her services frequently in the future.”

We appreciated her attention to detail & big heart. A big thank you from all of us :)”
“Kendall has taken care of our Duck Toller Red a couple times now. We feel so lucky to have found her! Red loves her - and she is constantly sending us updates on how things are going. We know he’s in good hands and we are so thankful for that. It truly is a vacation for him when he is with her! Lots of cuddles, walks, treats and attention. Thank you Kendall! You are the best!”
“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.”

We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”

“I had the absolute pleasure of having Ashley care for my beloved fur babies while I was away for over a week, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone more loving, attentive, and dedicated. She truly went above and beyond, showering them with affection, keeping me updated with sweet photos and messages, and even giving my senior kitty her warm sink bath, which she absolutely loved! Coming home to two relaxed and happy pets (and a spotless home!) said it all. Ashley treated them like her own, and I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind she gave me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets.”
“This was our first time booking with Sarah, and after our meet and greet we knew right away she’d be a great fit. She’s calm, respectful, and matched our cat's energy, only engaging on Cricket’s terms. She took amazing care of our diabetic cat, Cricket, including twice-daily visits for insulin injections and blood glucose checks. Her detailed updates and photos after every visit gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Cricket was in very capable and caring hands. We’ll definitely be booking her again soon!”
“Holly was seriously amazing! We booked her last minute due to a trip to Sweden and a last minute medical emergency with our cat, putting him on a few medications. She sent us updates everyday that were detailed and helped us so much. I am beyond grateful for what she did for us. Thank you so much Holly!”
“Hayley took great care of our cat Alpha with each drop-in visit while we were away for two weeks. Lots of updates and pictures during each visit. He was a happy cat when we came home.”
“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!”
“I used cat sitter service for the first time because the cattery I have used for years sadly closed their business recently. But Karin is a purrfect cat sitter, diligent and responsible. My two fussy cats absolutely loved her when I was on a week business trip. Thank you Karin, you are ace! 👍”
“Cathy was an absolutely amazing cat sitter. She provided great updates every day and the cats were obviously very well looked after. She also braved a large amount of snow and bad road conditions and even ensured our walkway was kept clear. She's a rockstar!!”
“Richelle is such a wonderful cat sitter! She gave me regular updates and made sure to give my little buddy a lot of love, play time and snuggles. I felt totally comfortable leaving my place and cat in her hands.”
“Anquia took great care of my cat, she kept me updated everyday and took a lot of pictures. I really appreciated her service. I highly recommend her to take care of cats!”
“Kate absolutely nailed it with the pet-sit! She watched my bunny and cockatiel, and I'm sure parents of exotics know that it can be nerve-wracking to leave our critters alone for a trip. Kate did an awesome job, was super communicative, made such a big effort even just in the meet and greet, and it showed in how happy and well taken care of everything was when I came home. House? Perfectly cared for, even cleaner than when I left it! Pets? Happy and healthy when I came back, which is all I could ever hope for! They can be quite the handful and I was so impressed with how she handled everyone. My anxiety in leaving the pets with someone new? Handled and then some- got a ton of cute pictures and she truly could not have made the process any easier for me. Kate is fantastic and I would 100% recommend her services to anyone with a critter to be watched- be it cat, dog, bunny, bird, or anything in between.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We recently had the pleasure of hiring SS Pet Whispers Silvia (and Andrea), and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. They demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and genuine care for our 3 kitties. One of our concerns was administering medications to our cats (all three have medicated food and two have oral meds), but Silvia handled it with exceptional ease and confidence, putting our minds at ease as well. What stood out most was the evident comfort our cats felt around them. It's clear that they possess a natural affinity with animals, creating a relaxed and stress-free environment for our pets. Their approach was both gentle and reassuring, fostering a strong bond that was apparent from the moment they entered our home. Communication was seamless, with regular updates that provided us with peace of mind during our time away. We were even able to set up a time to introduce the cats and go through their routine/instructions for care before the sitting began. It's evident that they take their responsibilities seriously and genuinely enjoy caring for our cats. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their beloved pets.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Adria was very accommodating and flexible in helping us organize our first Rover experience. We were happy with the updates she provided and look forward to her caring for our cat in the future.”

“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! 🐾❤️”
“Katy & Rachelle were great daycare hosts for our Pepper! They sent us photos throughout the day which helped ease our mind and let us know that she was well taken care of and doing okay. Would definitely book with them again :) Thank you!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve worked years in shelters and have 5 years experience in veterinary clinics, so in addition to my own curiosity and knowledge about dogs/cats, I have learned a lot in this time. I’ve walked/taken care of many friends’ and family’s pets before, and am very familiar with chronic medication as well as knowing how to respond to potential emergency situations. I am great at reading animal behaviour and assessing their needs to maintain comfort and happiness. I am a mature, kind, and responsible individual who has been trusted time and time again with other peoples’ furbabies. I love to share my affection with other animals and make them feel comfortable. I largely work from home full time, but the rare day I am away in the field for work. Time from home is variable depending on the task, and can range from 2-10 hrs. Otherwise, I am doing office work at home and with my two furbabies all day! In my home, my two are given free rein over the house, although they mostly just sleep during the day. They are fed 3 times per day, at specific times, and Murphy gets a walk a day at minimum. In a client’s home, I would adjust to their needs and routine as per their owner’s requests!
“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 available for a same-day request to dogsit my Alaskan Malamute, and he came home happy as ever to have gotten to spend time with some lovely new friends! Finn and Kai were very receptive to my worries about my dog being an escape artist and somewhat reactive with other dogs. I would 110% request them to have my dog come hang out with them again should we need another sitter for him in the future :)”
About: Hi! I’m Christy. Dogs have always been part of my life, and I truly can't imagine a home without them. There's something special about each and every dog, learning their unique personality, and making them feel safe and loved. As a lifelong dog owner, I know how difficult it can be to leave your pup with someone else. That's why I care for every dog as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. I currently share my home with my friendly 10-year-old Cockapoo, Luna, who loves having canine visitors. My partner, Trevor, and I have both cared for dogs through Rover as well as for friends and family over the years, so your pup will be in experienced, caring hands. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. Walks are part of our daily routine, and we love visiting Clover Point and Dallas Road for fresh air, exercise, and lots of sniffing opportunities. Between walks, your dog will enjoy potty breaks, playtime, naps, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm also comfortable administering medications and following your dog's regular routine, so they experience as little disruption as possible. Your dog's safety and happiness are always my top priorities. We live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with an elevator, making it accessible for dogs of all ages. Our balcony has an additional safety barrier installed, and access can be supervised or restricted depending on your dog's needs. Luna is a calm, friendly Cockapoo who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her a great companion for visiting pups. I'm naturally very organized and pay close attention to the little details—from feeding schedules and medications to potty routines and favourite sleeping spots. I know every dog is different, and I'm happy to follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. As a dog owner myself, I also know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you're away. I love getting photos of Luna when I'm travelling, so I'll send regular photos and messages to keep you updated on all of your pup's adventures. If Trevor or I ever need to step out briefly, we also have indoor cameras so we can check in remotely and ensure everyone is safe and comfortable.
“My experience with Kathy was amazing! She sent tons of daily updates and my pup got all the love and attention! Kathy is super knowledgeable about all things fur baby and will treat your pups like her own! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“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. :)”
“Cassidy is an absolute gem. Booking with her was easy, she was responsive and kind. When we had our meet and greet we immediately felt comfortable and Leo also took to her right away. She sent us pictures and updates during his visit. It was a real peace of mind to know that he was in such good hands. We would definitely book Leo in with Cassidy again and again.”
“Neil was very accommodating and understanding. He sent us regular updates with photos on what was happening to our puppy all through the day. When we were delayed by one hour of the original pick up schedule, he didn't give a fuss and was patient with us. Thank you Neil, see you next time.”
“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”
“Suzanne was exceptionally patient and kind with our dog, and it was clear she genuinely cared about him and attended to his needs. She kept us updated with photos during his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and really seemed to enjoy his time with her. We will definitely ask her to take care of him again when we come back to Victoria!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience across Japan and Canada. I’ve worked as a dog bather, a veterinary nurse, a zookeeper, and even led sled dog expeditions with 300+ dogs in the Arctic. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and I genuinely love dogs walking them is one of my favorite things to do. I attend a professional dog grooming program five days a week on weekday mornings, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m flexible within those hours and happy to work out a schedule that fits your routine. I treat every pet as an individual and always prioritize their comfort and stress levels. I’m also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to keep a calm, safe environment. My veterinary nursing background means I can recognize signs of illness or anxiety early and respond appropriately.

“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. :)”

“We can’t say enough good things about our experience. Our dog is a rescue and can be a bit cautious, but you took the time to build trust and made her feel so comfortable. She gets the perfect mix of exercise, attention, and care. Truly exceptional and highly recommended!”
“Holly was great. Our dog suffered from some anxiety when Holly tried to take her for a walk. Holly sat with her a settled her down she was very kind and caring through the whole time.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ida was great! It was a really hot day and she was considerate in taking him for a shorter walk to be caution in not overheating him. She even refilled his water and hangout with him for the remaining of the time we worked. Bert loved her!”
About: I live for cats and love them all! Will treat your pets as if they were my own and shower them with love and affection.

I am available any day of the week that you need. I live in a small studio and do not currently care for client’s pets in my home. I will gladly come to yours so you pet can stay in their familiar environment and has all their comforts.
“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!”

I hope to have them sit Seeka again this summer while on the island”
“Stephanie was very kind in assisting us to sea plane while picking up our dog. She followed our wishes and was on time and dependable with our pet. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

Her kids were incredibly sweet and so good with him—it was clear he felt comfortable and loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Angela & her partner were so so lovely! I got cute photos & updates and they were super flexible when I was running late to pick my dog up from them. Would totally use again!! Thanks so much Angela!”
