“Rebecca and Nick were great! Very easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates. Our dog can be annoying with energy and anxiety and they didn’t seem to mind!”
“Couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our dog and cat while we were away. Thomas treated them like his own, sent us regular updates, and exceeded our expectations with the time and care provided. Definitely recommended”
“Kelsey and her partner stayed with my pets for four nights and seem to have won them over! They'd only met once prior to the sit, and came in on the heels of my usual sitter. It was probably quite stressful for the animals to have strangers come in, so it is a good indication of their approach that my pets got comfortable so quickly. Even my cranky antisocial cat allowed a few pats! My apartment was left clean and tidy, with dishes and laundry completed.”
“Rebecca is awesome! All our neighbours commented on how often they saw Rebecca out for walks with the dogs during the day and how friendly and engaging she was. The house was very clean on our return. We highly recommend Rebecca.”
“Aparna did an awesome job taking care of Lux while I was on vacation! She's very good with animals and Lux loved being with her. Kind, attentative and accommodating the need for her not to have other dogs around. Highly recommend her!”
“Kyle was amazing with Charlie and Louie. He sent regular updates and was flexible with their schedules. He was very attentive and caring when Louie took a while to eat his food and gave them both lots of snuggles. Thank you Kyle for giving me peace of mind. Would recommend again in a heartbeat”
“Ocean is an amazing dog sitter. You can tell from the moment you meet her that she is a dog person. She took wonderful care of our reactive herding dog, making an extra effort to get to know her beforehand. She sent us tons of updates and photos and we felt very comfortable leaving our crazy dog in her hands.”
About: I have been living with dogs for roughly 25 years now, having just lived in a home with 2 dogs and 5 cats! I have roughly 1.5 years of experience working with dogs in boarding/day camps, where I cared for large groups of dogs, young and old, big and small. Provided meals, medication, baths, trail walks, etc.. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training, which I enjoy practicing regularly. I find that I have a great connection with animals and enjoy being in their presence. I also enjoy implementing structure and developing mutual respect between myself and animals. I have lots of fun being with animals, particularly dogs! My availability varies based on my work schedule but I will always do my best to be accommodating to the needs of you and your pets! I am currently not able to host pets in my home as I live in a trailer with my partner and two cats! But I will always be glad to visit your home.
About: After 14 years of caring for my yellow lab Jack, I fell in love with dogs. Due to Jack crossing the rainbow bridge recently; I'm looking to get my "dog fix" while helping other members of the community! About me...I'm a fairly active person, I love to go on runs and challenging hikes. However, I easily adapt for the dog's needs. I'm hoping you value your pet's safety, wellbeing and happiness as much as I do, because your dog deserves it all. Looking forward to hear from you soon! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home full-time in Campbell River, allowing me to be flexible and available throughout the day. While I have an additional job on some weekday evenings, I can easily work around it to meet your pet’s needs. With enough notice, I’ll do my best to accommodate any schedule or special requests! In my home, it’s a relaxed environment with an indoor cat who mostly keeps to herself, ensuring visiting pets have a peaceful stay. When caring for pets at your home, I always prioritize their comfort and well-being, and I make sure to leave your space clean and tidy. My goal is to make sure pets feel at home, whether they’re with me or in their own familiar surroundings.
“Tony is a very kind hearted person with a calm approach. He was very flexible with the needs of my dog who have separation anxiety. He was reassuring with his words. I am happy to hire him again and would recommend him. A very nice man.”
About: I grew up with dogs and had them in my life since I was 8 years old. The world is just a better place with animals in it. I am just getting my business of the ground and have time during the week to look after your furry family members. My hours are flexible and if I have to pick my kids up from school, dance etc, I can always take your furry friend with me, my girls love animals. We have a big fenced backyard at our house and I also love to go out on hikes, the dog parc or the lake or ocean if your dogs like to swim or paddle board.
“Emily is the best! My entire interaction from start to finish has been amazing. Our dogs were treated with such care and attention. I highly recommend Emily to take care of your pets. She’s communicative, respectful and such a caring person. Thank you so much for stepping into my home and loving on my pets.”
“Colleen and Robb are incredible! They went above and beyond in every way. They truly made our vacation better: we knew our dog was being well cared for and loved (the pics were amazing), our house was immaculate, they were flexible with our travel delays, they were conscientious and considerate with every detail, and the communication level was phenomenal. We were a bit nervous about leaving our quirky Frenchie, Walter, but it’s clear in our return that he was in the best hands. We won’t hesitate to reach out to Colleen and Robb in the future or to share their profile with our friends and family. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a stress free vacation and pampering for your furry friend/s.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years through friends, family, and word of mouth. I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around animals, so I'm overly happy to fill my time with some furry friends! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and sizes and would love to help with walks, boarding, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs a little extra exercise, some company while you’re away, or someone to stay in your home with them, I’d be happy to help I’m currently off work for the summer, so I have plenty of extra time to spend caring for your pets! I love hiking and exploring the outdoors, so if your furry friend is up for an adventure, I’d be happy to bring them along. If they prefer a relaxed walk around the neighbourhood, that’s just as welcome! I’m happy to adjust my days and activities to whatever your pet enjoys most. My goal is to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and, most importantly, feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I have a large, unfenced backyard with a spacious, fully enclosed deck, giving your dog plenty of room to explore and enjoy some outdoor time. I’m always outside with them, so they’ll have plenty of supervision and company. I’m also more than happy to stay at your home if that’s what works best for you and your pets. I know some animals are happiest in their own familiar space, and I’d love to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away!
“Melinda was great and convinced me she has the confidence and dependability to take care of my dog. Because I am new to the Rover experience, I much appreciated that she wanted me to share all about my dog and our activities before we agreed that she would take care of him for about a week in my home. She was confident and calm with my dog and took on some yard care tasks in my absence. She reported to me every couple of days (as requested) documenting things were going well. I was away for an extended time and Melinda had to hand over dog sitting to a friend of mine, who confirmed that the dog was in great spirits and my house was left tidy and clean. I greatly appreciate her help, and I will hire her again when the need arises. Thanks Melinda!!”
“Paige and Andrew took such great care of Haru and helped me out with my garden while I was away. I got cute updates if there’s walks and they navigated Haru’s high energy and quirks like pros. I also appreciate how tidy my home was when I got back. I would book these two again every time. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I’ve housesit often for friends and acquaintances. I have experience with many sizes and temperaments of dogs and I love cats. I’ll be attentive to your home, plants and pets.

Depending on the day of the week, I’ll either be totally off work or only away for up to 5hrs at a time. I will take good care of your pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Campbell River
Thomas was fantastic! Very punctual, friendly and super caring towards our 3 little doggies! He goes above & beyond and our ‘boys’ had a great time with him!! Our home was left in perfect condition! His loving care towards Toby, Boo Boo & Groot was very reassuring and appreciated!! Thomas is a wonderful dog sitter!!
Jordan is a fantastic pet sitter. He is an excellent communicator, very responsible and obviously has a great love of animals. He cared for our cat and gecko for over two weeks while we were overseas, and we felt like our home and pets were in great hands. We appreciated him checking in with questions as well as photos and updates about our pets. We are lucky to have found him and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again!
Ocean was the best person we could have left our anxious, new rescue boy with. We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but Ocean has a demeanor that easily puts pups (and their owners) at ease. She had our dog busy and attended to all weekend, and we came home to a very happy and relaxed dog. Thank you Ocean!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Campbell River on Rover is $52.94 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Campbell River maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Campbell River walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Campbell River choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
