“Madi is such a great dog sitter for our dog, Doug! She's been doing walks and drop ins for us for the last 6 months or so and is always professional and lovely (lots of tail wags). Thank you always Madi!”
“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: 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 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! I’m Eva - a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all personalities, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I spent time volunteering in a large dog shelter in Morocco, helping care for over 500 dogs. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group walks safely, and give every dog individual attention and care. Over the last three years, I’ve also cared for a spirited Vizsla puppy during regular pet-sitting stays, and I was the proud owner of my own dog for 14 wonderful years — so I know what it means to love and look after a pet like family. Whether your dog needs a calm and steady walker, a safe and comfortable boarding experience, or a caring sitter while you’re away, I provide reliable, professional care with plenty of affection and clear communication. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first — and of course, there will be walks, playtime, and updates along the way! 🐕💛 Caring for animals is something I build my days around. I have lots of flexibility in my schedule, so I can easily plan my time around each pet’s needs — from long walks and feeding times to relaxed hangouts at home. I love being outdoors and active, so spending my days with dogs fits perfectly into my lifestyle. When I’m house sitting, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, keeping things calm and familiar. I’m very tidy and respectful of each home I stay in, treating it with the same care I’d give my own space. My goal is for your pets to feel happy and relaxed — and for you to return to a clean home and a content companion.
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.
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.

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!
Erica communicated well when changes to the schedule occurred during the three weeks caring for our two cats, Thelma and Louise. Erica is a warm and approachable person and open to discussing concerns as they arise. An area for improvement would be Erica's attention to detail around the cat litter care.
