“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!”
“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 is always amazing when he walks or home-boards our dog, Doug! Doug loses his mind whenever Kyle comes by, and I know Kyle is taking great care of our little guy! Thank you so much Kyle!!”
About: I love dogs and animals and miss having them in my life. I grew up in Calgary with a border collie named Bowser and we went on many adventures such as hiking and exploring. I have looked after friends pets and have begun volunteering with MARS wildlife rescue and would like to be more involved in the community here in the Valley. I am able to walk pets at least twice a day or come and look after your pet at their home. I am a responsible individual who takes pride in being on time and detail oriented with strong active listening skills. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I work as a boat captain so I am out during the day but I love getting out early for walks and adventuring after work. I am in a pet friendly apartment and have a bike that I take on the trails close by. I also have a vehicle I can take to go further afield for adventures
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Thomas is lovely! It was so thoughtful of him to make time for pre-meets both at our place and his. During the sitting, he sent photo updates during their walk and at bedtime, and Theo seemed well-cared for. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I will be your dog's best friend whether it's for a daily or weekly walk or a weekend sleepover. I have raised two dogs from 8 weeks old that are impeccably obedient. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with medical or dietary restrictions, small and big. I am here to cater to their favorite activities whether it be walking swimming or trail walks we are up for it all. I am a free lance bookkeeper and accountant that works from home. My day is scheduled around my animals and yours. Depending on the day I incorporate multiple dog walks and outdoor time throughout the day. I care for pets as if they are my own by maintaining all obedience rules of the family first. If obedience or crate training isn't a priority of yours then I can help to provide good habits that your pet can take home with them.
About: Hi everyone! I am a full-time high school teacher who LOVES dogs! I love taking them out for walks, snuggles on the couch, and his general hanging out! Because of my career, I am only available on the weekends (dog sitting / house sitting) and available for walks/drop-ins most evenings. I love all dogs of all shapes and sizes! When I dog sit, I will usually keep my schedule clear so that I am with your dog 24/7. (My gym workouts are replaced with many walks, so I love walks!). Another thing I love is hanging out on the couch with a dog, watching tv, playing with their chewtoy (tug a war!) and just being around each other! I am very excited to meet you and your pooch!
“Rebecca is a very kind hearted person. She is very respectful of our home. We know she's caring because the dogs love to see her when she comes for a sit. Rebecca is an informative and prompt communicator. I would highly recommend Rebecca.”
“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.”
“Colleen and Robb house sat for me, they were amazing. My Dog and Cat were very happy in their care and the house was immaculate, I will definitely be using them again, I had no worries and was able to enjoy my vacation.”
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.
About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life, we always had pets around, from dogs to birds, lizards, mice, gerbils, hamsters, snakes, fish. I have been responsible for the love and care of many animals, my own, friends and families. Including feeding, bathing, playing with, walking etc. I am currently in school on week days leaving me available to watch your poochies or kitties on the weekend while you have a get away. I will walk them and take good care of them between studying- honestly giving me a much needed break! I am available on Tuesdays and the weekends for dog walking, doggy day care and house sitting but each client is different and I am happy to discuss what is needed for you and your pets. I am open to doggy day care in your home as well as mine- as long as your dog is friendly with cats. Please contact me and I am open to discussing the fees as I do my charging differently than the app does and I am open to discussion about what works best for you financially. I want all pet owners to feel secure in their sitter and pricing for services. I have one dog Yara, and two cats Captain and Phoebe. We live on a property with lots of space to roam around on leash (a fenced yard is a plan) with walks to trails and beaches everyday. I walk or run yara everyday with swims, fetch, and many adventures. At your home we can play, go for runs or forest/beach walks, or if they're older and a bit lazy that's okay we will hang out and enjoy each other's company. I can bathe them and tend to hygiene as needed, feed them, give them any needed medication and anything else they may need.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Campbell River
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!
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.
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Campbell River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Campbell River on Rover is $50 per night (as of July 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.
