“Barbara was attentive and caring with our cat. She took the time to try and figure out a different food for her. I appreciate Barbara’s attention to detail and wellbeing of our cat.”
“My husband and I were away for two weeks, the longest we've ever left our cats alone at home, and it brought us great comfort to know that Rachel was visiting every day to care for them! She always provided detailed updates and cute photos. We have booked with Rachel several times in the past and will continue to do so in future.”
“Lixia was a perfect sitter for my older cat Emily, she was attentive with the instructions I gave her on giving Emily her medication and followed through perfectly on feeding and giving Emily her medicine. I am so thankful to have booked lixia for my week away and wouldnt hesitate to book her again!”
“Karen stayed at our home for a week and took wonderful care of Sugarbeet and Morty. Sugarbeet is our senior boy and requires medication and some extra care, so having someone we felt completely comfortable trusting with him was really important to us. Karen sent daily updates and pictures, which we loved. Sugarbeet decided to be a bit of a grumpy old man and mostly kept his distance 😂 while Morty was very cuddly and really connected with her. I especially loved hearing Karen's observations about their different personalities, it was so fun getting someone else's perspective on the boys! Both cats were happy and completely themselves when we returned, with no signs that we'd abandoned them for a week! 😂 Karen also went above and beyond with our home with everything spotless when we got back which was such a lovely way to come home from vacation. We felt completely comfortable having Karen care for both our cats and our home and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so happy we booked Jane to stay at our house with our 5 cats while we were away on vacation. She sent tons of pictures, was very easy to communicate with, learned the cats feeding routine quickly, left the house in great condition. I would happily book her again!”
“Kaitlyn took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for two weeks. She provided updates with photos for each visit, and was even able to make friends with the one who is really shy and hides from anyone other than family 😻 We could tell that she genuinely cared about their well-being and was very kind to them. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
About: I’ve cared for my sister’s dog for years, handling walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m great with friendly dogs and comfortable with puppies and seniors, always patient and attentive. Pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available most weekends and evenings, and I can also help some weekdays depending on the schedule. I’m flexible and reliable. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. I follow routines, give attention, and always prioritize their comfort.
About: I've had dogs in my life since day 1 and previously ran my own dog grooming/daycare and boarding business out of my home. I have since switched careers but my love of dogs never left! My home has 1 small, blind, old dog, 1 playful and well mannered lab, dog-savvy cats and chickens outside, so there is plenty to keep your pup busy and entertained. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a large fully fenced yard close to parks and beaches. *We do have stairs in our house, and to the backyard* Our new fur friends are welcome to join us on outings if allowed. I am also home quite a bit throughout the day so it is unlikely they will ever be alone longer than a few hours at a time. There are also 2 animal loving, respectful children in the home so although I am patient, experienced and able to deal with a variety of issues, all dogs must be non-aggressive/reactive and great around kids. If this seems like a good fit I'd love to discuss with you more! I work from home quite a bit and also spend a lot of time outdoors in the yard or on walks/hikes so pets in the home get a lot of attention (if wanted) and outdoor time. I try to keep feeding and walk schedules as consistent as possible so pets feel at home. If they prefer to be crated at night we can do that, or they can sleep anywhere they please. My goal is to keep things familiar so they settle in quickly.
About: I currently work part-time, which gives me great availability! I'm free full-time 3 days a week and available every evening for the rest of the week. I like to take my time with every animal to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I offer in-home visits and house sitting at your location, as I have cats of my own and prefer not to host other pets in my home. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility! I am available all day 3 days a week, as well as every evening on the remaining days. This allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time and focused care to your pet. I take a patient, gentle, and unhurried approach with every animal. Because I have cats at home, I exclusively provide care directly at your place. This keeps your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring a calm, safe, and stress-free routine.
“Booked Michelle to care for my cat that needs eye drops 4x a day. Cared for her extremely well and my shy cat actually came out and hung out with her. Will be booking Michelle again in the future as she treated my home and kitty cat like her own!”
About: I have not owned a cat in many years but always enjoy their company. Even the most unsocial cats seek out affection and attention for me. I have been involved with farming and farm sitting since I was a child. I work a couple of part time jobs in healthcare. My schedule for meeting with clients is flexible and can easily be worked around pet care commitments. I have walking trails and a fenced dog park in my neighbourhood. I have a spacious home and areas of my home can be closed off in order to assure a safe environment when I am not able to be around to observe the pets in my care directly.
“Bryce was very attentive to both my cats and the house while housesitting. His experience with and love of animals are very evident. He is friendly, very responsive, and detail oriented. My place was left clean, and the space was respected as if it were his own. If you have any reservations for booking him, I promise they will vanish as soon as you meet him. I will 100% be booking more house sitting services with Bryce in the future! Thank you :)”
“Andrea took such good care of our babies as always. We are so grateful for Silvia and Andrea and how they always do everything to ensure that our cats are comfortable, happy, and well looked after :)”
“This was our first time booking Andrea for housesitting and we weren't disappointed. She took lots of photos of our anxious 17 year old kitty and we could see how relaxed and happy he was in her care. We wouldn't hesitate to book Andrea again.”
“Maia was fantastic! She took such great care of my cat Freddy and our 3-month-old kitten Penelope over the weekend! She followed our routine perfectly, sent regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear they were in great hands! We came home to two happy, relaxed cats. Would absolutely book with her again. Thanks so much, Maia!”
About: To me, a day with animals is the best day. I’ve been caring for fur babies in various ways for over a decade. Me and my soul dog, Cali were always looking for new adventures, with new friends, and I found myself doing something that truly made my heart happy! I lost my Cali girl earlier this year due to old age, and bless her heart for opening my eyes to how much I truly love and care about animals. I have experience with various breeds of dogs and also all of the cats! I’ve volunteered with rescues, and with FLED, and helped locate missing animals as well. I have a way with animals and feel like I can internally connect with them, and build trust quickly. I am currently working full time so I have time for pet care after 5pm on weekdays, or on the weekends. This includes house visits and bio breaks, a walk, or overnight boarding. I live in a townhouse style apartment with access to a yard for easy bathroom breaks! If you are considering me for overnight care, I do have an indoor cat who likes dogs very much, but it’s important that the dog staying is used to cats so we can keep our home calm and positive for everyone. I love to walk and hike so there will never be a dull moment! I have extensive experience with animals needing various kinds of medication, including injections and am confident in administering those. I have a very soft spot and a tremendous amount of patience for our seniors. After having my lab through all stages of life I see the extra care and attention that seniors need and don’t mine “slowing things down” to match that.
About: Dogs and cats have always been special to me, and your furry family members are safe in my care. Walks, feedings, and medicine applications are all in my repertoire. Braden is a kind, relaxed fellow who will plunk his laptop down to work while caring for your pets. He's a mortgage broker who has plenty of spare time between emails, so pet sitting fits right into his lifestyle. From brief check-ins to longer stays, he'll be there for your furry family members when they need him. The safety and well being of your pet(s) is of the utmost importance. As previously stated, the general practice is to set up a laptop work station on a kitchen table or desk to be nearby your beloved, furry family member(s). Any additional safety and care instructions are welcome.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Colwood
We are so thankful to have had Karen take care of our little guy. We have a senior with higher medical needs and Karen really put our minds at ease. She was punctual, very communicative, and sent lots of pictures. We were able to enjoy our trip with no anxiety. We will definitely be reaching to Karen again when we need care!
Barbara did a lovely job cat sitting for us! Our kitty warmed up to her quickly and was well taken care of while we were away for a few days. She sent us thorough reports of everything they did during her visit, and tons of photos. This is our first time using Rover so we were a bit hesitant but after our initial meeting we felt very comfortable and confident about leaving our kitty in her care and we are very impressed with the job she did. Would highly recommend Barbara!
We left on a week trip and were lucky to find Megan. She was punctual great with communication and did everything we had asked plus more. Both our kitties were well fed and had clean boxes when we returned home. Would recommend and know who we will reach out to for our next trip.
This was my second time booking with Chantelle, and once again everything was fantastic! She took wonderful care of the boys, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. It's such a relief knowing they're in such caring and reliable hands. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!
Michelle took great care of our cats — her check-ins were on time, and our cats were so at ease with her. Really appreciated her care, especially with our cats who have special needs. We were able to relax while we were away, knowing our cats were well taken care of.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
