“Erika was great! We felt so comfortable having Brodie stay with her, with the added bonus of getting some play time with sweet Juniper. I appreciated meeting beforehand so we could both ask questions. Highly recommend!”
“I felt completely at ease leaving our new pups with Jessica. They got loads of care & attention and walks. It was our new puppy’s first weekend away and I was so glad for him to have such a positive experience. I’m sure he will be looking forward to going back!”
“Nicolle was great with my dog, Vito. He’s a very playful, and energetic dog. But Nicolle handled him very well. He stayed with her for 3 days, and Nicolle kept me updated and sent pictures through out the stay. Will definitely call again in the future.”
“Quinn was a great dogsitter. She communicated easily and often and assured me, especially in the first day or two, that my dog was doing great. I would not hesitate to hire Quinn again to take care of my dog.”
“Leigh-Ann was amazing at providing care for our highly sensitive and anxious dog, Frank. She was very proactive at asking us for insight, providing updates, and easing our minds. We really appreciated her prompt communication and daily updates so much.”
“Roberta took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a long family vacation. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares. We had peace of mind knowing that our dog would be part of her family while we were away. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away and could tell he had enjoyed his time with Roberta and her dog. We are so grateful and will 100% reach out to Roberta next time we need a sitter. She is a lovely person who clearly cares deeply about the people and animals she interacts with. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of patience, compassion, and real-life experience I bring, especially with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I’ve cared for two rescue dogs with very different and challenging backgrounds, which has shaped how I approach every animal I look after. One of my dogs I found on the streets of the Philippines, where I nursed her back to health and helped her regain strength and trust. The other I adopted from Heart Hope and Rescue, and she came to me with severe fear due to past abuse. Through consistent care, gentle handling, and a lot of love, I’ve helped her grow into a confident, happy dog who can now be around men comfortably. Today, she’s incredibly affectionate and truly thrives. Because of these experiences, I’m especially skilled with nervous, shy, or rescue dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. I understand how to read body language, build trust at their pace, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic training, maintaining routines, and giving dogs the attention and care they need to feel secure and happy. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and completely loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and because I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding, and I structure my days to make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. In the mornings, I start the day with walks, feeding, and some playtime to help your dog burn off energy and feel settled. Throughout the day, I incorporate regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention whether that’s play, training reinforcement, or just relaxing together. Because I’m home often, your dog will have consistent companionship and supervision. I also adapt my routine to match your dog’s specific needs. For high-energy dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation, while more anxious or senior dogs get a calm, quiet environment with gentle care and extra comfort. Evenings are more relaxed, with another walk, dinner, and wind-down time filled with cuddles and companionship. Overall, I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and loving environment so your dog feels at home and well cared for every day they’re with me. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I prioritize safety by maintaining a clean, secure environment, closely supervising pets, and following any specific routines, dietary requirements, or medical instructions provided by the owner. Building trust is central to my approach, so I take time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort levels, and preferences, ensuring they feel calm and cared for. I also respect clients’ homes by keeping spaces tidy and communicating regularly with updates, so owners feel confident and reassured while they are away.
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. From growing up with family pets to helping friends and neighbours with their dogs and cats, I’ve gained years of hands on experience providing care, comfort, and companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just quiet cuddles. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work only a few days a month, and that work is done from home. This gives me a very flexible schedule and the ability to be available on short notice. I’ll happily work around your needs to make sure your pet is cared for when you need me most. I treat every pet and home with the same care I would want for my own. During drop-ins, I make sure your pet has fresh water, food, and plenty of attention. On walks, I keep safety first while giving your pet the exercise and fun they need. I’ll also keep you updated as much or as little as you want, so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Mackenna was amazing. She took great care of Casper and communicated and sent pictures of their adventures which was much appreciated. She took him for walks and helped to coordinate an easy pickup in Nelson. She went above and beyond in her care for him. I would highly recommend her!”
“Sydney was great. She was punctual for meet and greet and even brought our dog to our house. She was really good about keeping us updated with texts and photos while we were traveling.”
“Bob and his wife were phenomenal with my girl. They’ve got a perfect fenced yard and out of town environment(she’s fully and outdoor dog). Meeka got so many walks and creek visits like I would do and I got updated daily with their adventures. Highly recommend booking with Bob. I definitely will.”
“10/10 experience with Erin and Michael from start to finish! From the meet and greet to the lovely photo updates, I was very appreciative of the love and care they gave to my pup Bodhi. I would highly recommend them for your pet care needs!”
About: Hi, I’m Andra Rayne! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and I can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve cared for and trained a wide variety of breeds—from high-energy working dogs to strong, protective companions. I’ve personally raised and trained a Border Collie, known for their intelligence and need for engagement, as well as a Cane Corso from puppyhood, which gave me experience with large, strong-willed breeds. These experiences taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pup needs lots of playtime, structured walks, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm currently working weekends, with the occasional optional on-call shift during the week. I have plenty of available time, and the flexibility to make my schedule work for you. I have a fenced yard, as well as a great hiking trail behind my home, or parks and fields for the lower energy pups. I currently have a cane corso, as well as 2 cats, and am able to block off areas in my home (keep my fur babies separate) to ensure your pup feels safe and comfortable.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Castlegar home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Castlegar
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
