About: Active, reliable Aussie recently based in Campbell River—offering loving care, long walks, and home visits for cats and dogs. I’ve looked after pets for years, including my family cat in Australia and many dogs and cats for friends and family. My experience includes drop-in visits, walking, and in-home sitting, with stays ranging from a few days to several months. As someone who lives an active, outdoor lifestyle, I’m perfect for energetic dogs who need proper exercise, runs, and playtime. I’m equally happy keeping things calm and sticking to routine for more relaxed pets or independent cats. You can expect: Regular photo updates 📸 Clear, responsive communication Reliable, on-time care Respect for your pet’s routine and needs I’m a responsible young professional who understands the trust involved in pet care, and I’ll treat your pet like my own—whether it’s a quick visit or ongoing support. I’ve recently moved to Campbell River from Melbourne and currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate pet care. I’m currently available for weekdays after 3pm and weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I am available all nights for overnight sitting. I’m happy to adjust my routine to suit your pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I’ll look after your pet in their own home with the same love and care I’d give my own. I stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and focused on keeping your pet happy and relaxed.
About: Hi! My name is Kelsey, an Aussie animal lover who has recently relocated to Campbell River. I have my own dog back in Australia—my best mate—which has given me a strong understanding of daily care, companionship, and responsibility. In addition, I have provided pet-sitting services for family and friends, caring for multiple dogs and cats for periods ranging from a few days to several months, and have been entrusted through a referral to care for a dog outside my personal network. My experience includes drop-in visits, in-home sitting, walking, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m here to make tails wag and hearts happy ☺️🐾 As a recent Canadian resident, I am not currently working and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to caring for pets. I offer in-home pet care services exclusively. By caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their familiar routines and environment, helping them feel secure and comfortable. Every pet receives attentive and personalised care.
About: I've owned and looked after dogs since I was under 10 years old. Recently fostered a reactive dog and have helped out in dog shelters in the past. I currently have a mini dachund that has a very fun personality. I'd love to take your furry friend out for a walk or drop in visits or doggy day care (must be good with other dogs as I have a mini dachund) I work full time, so I keep my schedule up to date. Love to spend time outdoors walking or running (my dog goes on almost all adventures with me) but we also enjoy our downtime snuggling up watching a good show or movie. I own a pet friendly condo that has a small fenced patio and access to community gardens. My dog gets 2 long walks a day and multiple short outings to do potty. Will cater to each dogs individual needs.
“Mitchel is such a nice person. He was super attentive to all the details we provided about our two pups. We could tell how happy both our dogs were when Mitchel sent us pictures during his visit. We would highly recommend him to anyone.”
About: I am a life long pet owner and lover! I am newly retired now and have decided my hobby would be pet sitting! My pet sitting experience (1 year so far) has taught me to able able to adapt to all types of doggie personalities as well as being comfortable to give meds when needed. I speak dog and cat extremely well! :-). I am healthy and love getting out for walks and enjoy play time with cats of all types. Interacting and doing things together with animals is the very best way to bond with them and it's just plain FUN! I am flexible and able to accommodate most schedules with notice. I am an early riser and have my own vehicle and that seems to work for walks and outings! At this time I am not able to take pets into my own home due to not having a fully fenced yard. This is something I may consider in the future.
“Thomas went above and beyond for our two cats while we were away for a week. While some sitters feed and leave, I love that Thomas took the time every visit to play with and snuggle our kitties. He took great care of our home as well. One of our cats needed medication administered, and Thomas was able to handle her additional needs very well. Would highly recommend him to take care of your fur babies.”
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: I have had a dog my entire life, most recently my boy Tas who I had for 11 great years. I love animals and will treat them with care and respect. I work a set schedule and look after pets on my days off. I have my own space with no other animals. They will be alone for minimal time in my care. I have a fenced yard, one small dog lives upstairs, who is very friendly. We have a forested area with trails where I will walk your pup.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bailey is AMAZING! We are so grateful to have found Bailey to care for our dog, Maugrim. From the moment we connected, Bailey’s communication was clear, thoughtful, and responsive. He came to our home twice a day and gave us regular updates, photos, and sweet little details that reassured us Maugrim was not just being looked after—but truly cared for. When we returned, Maugrim was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious he felt comfortable and safe with Bailey, and that made all the difference for us while we were away. We’d book Bailey again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything—you’re a gem! --- Shannon”
About: I started taking care of dogs when I was 12, helping with walks and training for my own dog in Italy, where I’m from. Being around dogs has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I also dog sat for friends and family, caring for different breeds and keeping up with their usual routines. After moving to Canada, I felt like something was missing and that’s when I decided to get my own dog here. That experience taught me even more about responsibility and the joy of having a dog in your life. I’m comfortable with daily walks, basic training, feeding schedules, and making sure each dog feels relaxed and well cared for. I’m responsible, easygoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I have a very flexible work schedule and am available for walks every day from 4 to 8 PM, as well as early morning and lunchtime walks. I also have more time on weekends, making it easy to fit in longer walks or extra playtime. I’m very respectful of each owner’s training style and home rules. At my place, I have a 2-year-old, 15-pound Havapoo who loves to play and will happily keep your pup company.
About: I grew up in the country and took care of a variety of animals from a young age. I have many years experience with domestic as well as farm animals. I have been lucky enough to have always been liked by animals and enjoy their company. I have a flexible schedule and offer a variety of services from overnight sitting, to drop ins and pet walking(cats included!). If in your home pet care is what you’re looking for please reach out! My services are in your home and aim to maintain your pet’s existing routine. I provide regular updates and photos to provide peace of mind. I have experience administering medication and will ensure your pet’s needs are met.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Campbell River
Brittany was excellent and really mindful of the little things that make a pets' experience comfortable - and feel at home - even when their normal humans are not home. Cora and Amelia can sometimes be off-ish with strangers but they warmed up to her very quickly which speaks volumes about her. Thanks again.
Madison was amazing with our cat while we were away for two weeks. She took such great care of him and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We especially appreciated her flexibility in helping us out on short notice. Knowing Maverick was happy and well cared for made our trip so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Campbell River on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 95 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Campbell River. About 81% of Campbell River sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Campbell River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.
