“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.”
“I wasn't there for the stay, but my dog gave Bianca 5/5 stars. Really felt confident and at ease leaving my pup with her. She was very flexible, and communication was on point. Her daily updates were awesome. I will be thinking about her whenever I need a sitter again!”
“Maggie looked very comfy in the picture you sent of her on her first visit, and well cared for. She will be back in July for a longer stay and happy with the care she received..Thank you Kevin & Kayla”
“Shravistha was incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible during a stressful moment in our trip to Victoria. As travelers with a dog, we suddenly found ourselves in a difficult situation late at night, and her quick communication and willingness to help gave us real peace of mind. Even though our plans changed afterward, we truly appreciated her understanding and support. Highly recommend!”

“Alisa did me a huge favour by watching my dog, Mylo overnight so that my partner and I could attend our friend’s going away party. She provided excellent care for my dog, took him on nice walks, and sent very cute photos and text updates so I knew my pet was in good hands. I highly recommend Alisa to care for your dog if you are in search of pet care now or in the future.”

“Heather was awesome. Great communication from beginning to end and King was so well taken care of. They accommodated our late return at pick up and even purchased toys to keep him busy. We will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter.”
“Our dog Ruby had such a great stay with Lauren! Ruby is an older pup and has developed doggie dementia, blindness and some hearing loss… all wrapped up with chihuahua temperament. Needless to say, it’s hard finding someone we can trust to care for Ruby as we do. Lauren hit all the marks! She was so gentle and considerate to Ruby’s quirks, and was so communicative with us while we were away. It made us feel very confident that Ruby was being well cared for while we were gone. 100% recommend Lauren for dog boarding, especially if you’ve got an older pup with extra needs!”
“Pepper had a great stay with Anqian and Alexandre! Great communication back and forth, pictures were sent for updates, and instructions were followed promptly. Great choice for boarding!”
“Amazing! Highly recommended, was in a pinch for safe boarding for my Dane and after four days Hendrix came home and slinked upstairs to our bed to pass out for 5hrs. Will be making this our primary for additional care. Highly recommended!!”
“Vicki was very welcoming and also accommodated my early drop off time and late night pick up for my puppy. Despite him being a puppy that is not completely potty trained she welcomed him warmly and when I picked him up afterwards he was exhausted from playing all day in her yard with her dogs! Thank you for a good first experience on rover :)”
“We were so lucky to find Sandeep and Priyanka to take care of our dog last minute. They were wonderful sitters and you could really tell they love and care about dogs, which made it easier to leave our dog with them. They sent us many photos during the short time they had her and we were very thankful to get those regular updates. I definitely recommend!”
“Allan is amazing. Every day our dog was with Allan, Allan took him for walks and he would send us photos. Our dog looked so happy. When we picked up our dog he was happy to see us but wouldn't get in our car to go home until he said goodbye to Allan.”

“Ashley took care of my two cats while I was away. This was my first time leaving my cats behind with a sitter and I am glad it was Ashley. One of my cat seemed extremely comfortable in the pics with her around. Ashley even made efforts to look for my other cat, the shy one, and sent me pics from it's hiding place. I got regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend Ashley.”
About: I currently have a 2 year old Sphynx (high maintenance breed with very specific needs) so I’m comfortable with tailored routines, diet restrictions, and reading a cat’s particular quirks.. Whether your cat wants constant attention or space on their own terms, I adjust to what they actually need :) I’ve had cats growing up as well that I miss dearly. Message with any questions!
“I have have other people on rover look after my kitty, but no one has compared to Cathy. I fully trusted her more than anybody else, she’s super good with animals, and a very genuine person. You can relax knowing your animal and home are in excellent care with Cathy. I would recommend her 100 times over!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jasper! He looked after our three Ragdolls for a week, making sure they were well fed and spending time visiting and keeping them company each day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were being cared for so well while we were away. Jasper was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we came home, which says everything. We’re very, very happy with the care they received and would absolutely recommend Jasper to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. We would happily book him again”
“Richelle was a terrific cat-sitter for our cat Chester. He has a few issues and not the easiest food to prepare and Richelle did everything we asked and more. She was professional and friendly and made sure to give us detailed notes on her visits, how Chester was feeling/doing, etc. Would heartily recommend Richelle anytime and will certainly ask her to come back if she's available in the future! Thank you Richelle :)”

“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 is truly experienced and incredibly diligent. She took excellent care of my cat and went above and beyond by sending frequent updates, which really helped ease my nerves while I was away. She was very attentive and happy to follow even the smallest instructions to make sure my cat was comfortable and entertained during my absence. My cat is usually timid with strangers, but she seemed to feel comfortable with Stephanie almost immediately, which says a lot. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care”

“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 messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. She 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!”
“Christy was great with Steiner, our one year-old puppy, who is still learning how to behave. Christy lives very close to all the activities in Victoria, B. C., so dropping Steiner off was so easy. Thank you for taking care of our puppy, Christy.”
“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.”
“If I had a 100 stars I would have given those to Bianca. Champ had a great time and Bianca was gracious enough to take his request last minute due to a medical emergency. Thanks so much for everything”
“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 grew up with at minimum 4 dogs at all times, ranging from Border collies, to Shepard mixes, to Jack Russell and fox terriers. I learned from a young age the best way to train dogs specific to their breeds and personalities and I have lots of experience caring for pups from the day they were born into old age. I understand the importance of exercise, routine and play for our furry friends. I say I have 7 years of experience caring for pets, but really it is 30+ years at this point, the 7 years comes from a boom in friends getting dogs and the beginning of me taking care of their pets when they go on vacation, have family/medical emergencies etc. I live less than a block from a park that is off-leash-optional (the park has a cute communal dog toy box also) and I live in a quiet neighbourhood where I can stroll with your pup on-leash for exercise if that is preferred. I also carry my own pups to designated off leash areas where they can run forest trails with me, or just hike around. Depending on your pups needs and what you and I discuss, play/exercise time for your pup may involve all three. My home has a fenced in back yard which is great for toilet breaks and serves as a play area also, if your pup is so inclined :) I have two pups of my own, a Border Collie and a Wire Haired Griffon, both friendly gals, the Border Collie is becoming a senior gal and generally pays no attention to other dogs past an introductory sniff, the Griffon is 4 years old and loves to play if your pup is willing, if not, no issues, she is not forceful in anyway. I can say with confidence that your pups will be in safe hands,well taken care of and loved while I am looking after them. I work a flexible schedule from my home office. My doggy caring day typically starts with at least a 30 - 40 min neighbour hood walk before 8:00 am. Backyard toilet and exercise breaks around 10:00. 30 - 40 min neighbourhood/park lunch walk around noon. More toilet/stretch the legs breaks around 2:00. Off-leash Forest walk around 4:30/5:00 (Or on-leash depending on the pup, and if a forest walk doesn't suit, then more time in the beautiful neighbourhood often heading to a larger fenced in municipal park about 10 mins walk away) Obviously, meals are given as per your pups schedule and lots of treats throughout the day (unless you tell me not to) I have a fully fenced in back yard, with two friendly pups for company for your pup. The house itself is very dog friendly, pups are allowed onto the couch, but not the beds or other furniture. There are many dog beds in various rooms for pooches to sleep in as they wish. When walking/exercising your dog, I will only walk your dog on-leash in the neighborhood and in any area that is not well fenced in. If your dog is reactive, timid, has any health concerns we can discuss and I will be sure to adjust my routine around those needs. I will do exactly what you ask of me when it comes to feeding, play, keeping your pup on-leash, treats etc. Should the unlikely happen and I need to bring your dog to a vet unexpectedly, I will have your contact details, your vets contact details and I live within 5 mins drive of the emergency vet hospital. Your pup will be well looked after.
About: I currently have a Sphynx (high maintenance cat breed with very specific needs) so I’m comfortable with tailored routines, diet restrictions, and reading an animal’s particular quirks.. I also grew up with dogs (multiple Border Collies) so I know the energy and exercise they need too. Whether your pet wants constant attention, space, or a specific routine, I adjust to what actually works for them :) I am currently working part time, so I have free time in my week and would love to drop in and take care of your animal(s). Typically I work Thursday-Saturday or Sunday, but am happy to accommodate as best I can if you need support during those days. In your home, I stick closely to their feeding schedule, walks, and any specific instructions, staying attentive to their comfort in their own environment throughout each visit. *I have a cat in my home, (2 bd duplex house). I am happy to have your pet stay in my home if they’re patient/friendly towards cats and my cat gets along with them -would need to discuss/meet & greet prior to me hosting*
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.
“Rojin took wonderful care of my senior Boston Terrier and I would definitely book her again. She is kind, thoughtful and patient and was available at short notice as well. Thanks again Rojin!”
“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!”
About: I have been around and loving all animals for my whole life. I have had my cats and even over 40 chickens to care for. I have been working with dogs and training them for over a year. Caring for animals in general for 10 years. I give the animals in my care my full attention and love. Taking care of dogs is definitely a huge part of my love for life. I work from home so it fits perfectly. My 8 year old daughter loves all animals and helps out as well. When she is in school or when I take her to her fathers I will be out. Willing to have dogs in my car if they are okay in vehicles I live in a beautiful and quiet neighbourhood. With this house we have a fenced in yard and no other pets in the home currently. My focus will be solely on the animals I care for.
“Sandeep was fantastic as a sitter! We reached out last minute and even had to adjust our drop off time. Sandeep was very welcoming, and Theo was well taken care of! It was seamless, and Theo came back to us just as if he was at a friend’s place. Highly recommend Sandeep as a sitter!”
“Quinn was so happy to see Neil after her meet and greet. She is very high energy and must have had alot of fun as she fell asleep as soon as she hit the car. Neil is pleasant to humans too and has a lovely clean space for the doggie.”

About: Hello! I absolutely love cats & dogs and have cared for animals since childhood, starting with my own family pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping friends, neighbours, and clients with dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care, including caring for a senior blind dog over the course of a summer. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and energy levels. Some pets love long walks and playtime, while others simply want calm companionship and routine. I always try to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have no pets in my home, so your pet would have a quiet environment and plenty of attention during overnight stays if needed. My schedule is flexible, and I’m typically home mornings and evenings and away for shorter periods during the afternoon. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel relaxed knowing how your pet is doing throughout the day. I’m attentive, reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is always for your pet to feel happy, safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. If I am house sitting, you will return to a clean and happy home! I would love to build long-term relationships with regular clients in Victoria and the surrounding area. I am pretty flexible as my work schedule tends to vary. I live in the Oak Bay area but am happy to travel for your pet needs. I care for pets the same way their owners would with consistency, love, and attention to detail. For in home stays: pets receive affection, playtime, and comfort. Cats have daily litter cleaning and scheduled feedings at their usual times, while dogs get two walks per day, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of pets and love. For dog walks: I make sure they’re happy and refreshed with potty breaks, light grooming if needed so they’re clean when they return, and treats or feedings as directed. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, cared for, and loved just like they are with you.
“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!”

“Kate is an excellent communicator and an amazing dog walker! Murphy got SO MUCH love, came back so happy and tired and I could see how much care Kate puts into giving them the best walks possible. Will be using again!”
“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.”
“Adria was absolutely hands down amazing with my boy Cedar! He loved the walk so much and was a very sleepy boy afterwards. She was quick and efficient and eager to help me out, as I’m currently out of commission with a terrible flu. Her prompt response and service makes her an excellent candidate to walk your furry companion. Thank you so much Adria!!”
“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!”

“Justin is extremely kind and caring, and shows a genuine love of dogs. He is patient, positive and encouraging. Justin takes Mabel on a variety of routes and she always seems content and tired by the time we arrive home. He is reliable and responsible. We highly recommend Justin as a dog walker!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs all my life and live an active lifestyle that makes dog sitting, walking and caring perfect for me! In the past year I’ve had experience sitting both a puppy and a senior dog and have also been apart of the training and care of the dogs my family has had over the years. I’m so excited to meet some awesome pups! I’m a second year university student at UVIC and have class all day Monday, Wednesday night, and Thursday. Other than those days I have an open schedule! I am able to come early in the mornings or stay over night as needed. I am a person that loves to keep tidy, and I am very thorough in all tasks I’m given and want to make sure all the animals in my care are as healthy and happy as possible.
About: I grew up on a farm with many animal responsibilities, from small critters, to large. I am accommodating and willing to learn about your fuzzy companion. I work full time 5 days a week with 3 days off. I'm available mornings to evenings. I have a doggo of my own who does well with other companions. I have a large studio apartment with a balcony and can accommodate pet care easily into my and my dogs routine. We are active and very loving
About: I am a caring and loving pet sitter that is more than happy to adjust to the needs of your pet! I am very comfortable with both large and small breeds. I have trained many of my own large-breed dogs, including rescue pit bulls, and therefore have a calm temperament that animals enjoy. I am comfortable administering medicine to special needs pets and going for long walks with higher-energy breeds as well. I have owned many dogs and cats in my lifetime, including certain special need breeds like French bulldogs and pugs. I am well-aware of the digestive issues that some designer breeds have and how to prevent issues. Anyone that knows me, knows I have a passion for all furry friends - big or small! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends to care for your pet, but I am off from work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 4pm and am happy to make drop-in visits on those days as well. I live in beautiful Victoria, BC and enjoy taking your pup for seaside walks, socialization can be provided at dog parks and I genuinely enjoy your dogs company!
About: Hi, I’m Mia! I’ve always been the go‑to dog person for friends and family, and now I’m excited to bring that same care to pups here in Victoria.

I love routine just as much as a dog, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. :) I work from home, allowing me to offer high availability, quick responses, and attentive care throughout the day. I can commute to you easily or offer my home for sitting. I live in a residential area perfect for walking, and there is a dog beach close by!

“Rachel was amazing and so kind to take Milo on short notice but also soo patient with me as I scrambled to get him there and pick him up. I really appreciate her looking after him and he was so happy when I picked him up. He’s much more of a puppy than I realize but Rachel and her family were very kind and used to handling pups with the proper care. Thanks again !!”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with just about every pet you can think of: dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, rabbits, frogs, fish, and even a little mouse. Being around animals has always been second nature to me, and I love giving them all the cuddles, playtime, and care they deserve. Since my apartment isn’t pet-friendly right now, I’d be thrilled to spend my time hanging out with some furry friends in the neighborhood—it’s the best of both worlds! I work for the school district from 8–3, and my office is pet-friendly—so if you have a social animal, they’re welcome to join me for an office day! Outside of those hours, my schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to provide pet care when you need it. I love getting outdoors to explore new parts of the city, but I’m just as happy to spend time cuddled up with a furry friend and a good book. I offer pet visits, walks, and plenty of cuddles—all in the comfort of your pet’s own home. Being in their familiar space helps them feel safe and relaxed, which makes it easier for us to build trust and enjoy our time together.
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.
About: Hi! My name is Oobli! I am a 3 year old toy Australian Shepherd. My humans are Alex and Christina and they adore me! They tell me that they love all dogs, and grew up with pets but of course, they love me the most! We do everything together, they take me on car rides to some really cool places to run around and sniff (they call it hiking) We go to the beach and the park, they are excellent at throwing sticks and balls for me to chase! When we are home, I like to chase balls in our backyard, it’s a nice big backyard with a fence around it to keep me nice and safe! My favorite thing about our house, (besides the big comfy bed we sleep in and the comfy couches) is I have my very own door I can use! The only thing I don’t have are any brothers or sisters to play with! I love to play and get along with everyone! Well, not the cat across the street, I don’t really like cats. But I love other dogs! I am hoping to meet some friends and have some play dates and maybe even some sleepovers! We are business owners who have a flexible schedule allowing us the opportunity to work from home while caring for your fur babies. We can accommodate weekday daytime walks Our home is pet friendly with a large fenced backyard, a dog door for small dogs. Our furniture is pet friendly and we don’t mind extra cuddles at night in the bed.
“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”
