“Shravistha was incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible during a stressful moment in our trip to Victoria. As travelers with a dog, we suddenly found ourselves in a difficult situation late at night, and her quick communication and willingness to help gave us real peace of mind. Even though our plans changed afterward, we truly appreciated her understanding and support. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia took really great care of Mocha. Communication was fast, she shared updates and video the whole time he was with her. Mocha seemed like he had a lot of fun playing with Adonis! I definitely recommend her and would definitely book again in the future”
“Alisa was great! We felt out dog was very well cared for and looked like he had a great time, fron the photos that were shared. We recommend Alisa and she would be our first thought when needing someone to care for our dog in the future.”
About: I have been a pet owner for many years and would love to provide the best care for your loved pet. My yorkie Cash and I provide a very loving and caring environment and I am home the majority of the time to provide comfort and stability. I currently work part-time and I also work from home therefore I can provide very attentive care. I am able to provide frequent potty breaks. My yorkie Cash is a very gentle and kind playmate. We go on many nature walks in our community. There are many local trails and also a fenced dog park area nearby.
“Alexa took super care of my cat Remi, she sent me pictures all the time and supplied a litter box as well as a bunch of other stuff. She made the process super easy and personable. I would highly recommend using her. Thanks again Alexa!”
“Christine was so kind, responsive and took great care of my dog. She always stayed in touch, communicated, and made sure my dog had a great time. I really appreciate how accommodating she is and how she made sure he is happy. He looked so happy as if he was ready to stay with his new family lol!”
“Megan did a great job with my corgi! Mango really seemed to enjoy her stay and I got lots of updates and pictures. Megan was easy to talk to and flexible while taking great care of my fur baby!”
“Juno had a lovely stay at Bill and Gerie’s! Communication with them was great and we loved getting updates sent to us. We’ll definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“Stephanie was amazing! She took such good care of our puppy Sasha. She communicated quickly and professionally. We ended up adding an extra day to the booking last minute and Stephanie was incredibly accommodating and helpful. Sasha was well cared for, provided her medication for ear infection, folled her post surgery requirements, took her for many walks, and spoiled her with love!”
“Dani was wonderful, Peaches felt instantly comfortable with them, communication was super easy & helpful, next time we’re in Victoria, Peaches will be very excited to stay with Dani again!”
“Finding the right caretaker for my girl Rosie - who can be very shy and nervous around new places and spaces, and experience stress while we are apart. I wanted to ensure she would be with the best caretaker, and this was particularly important as I planned to be away for an extended period over the holidays. Thankfully, I came across Heather’s reviews and was able to connect with them before boarding Rosie. This provided me with a sense of relief and assurance to know she would be in a loving home. Rosie experienced an exceptional level of care and love and grew comfortable and content under Heather’s care. From daily walks and adventures to routine brushing, and homemade broth; Rosie was such a happy girl! Her sweet, loving, and active personality got to shine including her beautiful coat! Beyond grateful I had connected with Heather - I highly recommend her services. We will certainly be repeat customers.”
“Angela was so great to work with and took such good care of my girl, Millie. She was so friendly, responsible and clearly cared about making sure my dog was happy and well looked after. She sent loads of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated! I would not hesitate to book with Angela again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Abby loves staying with Kirsten who is so great with her! I would highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a caring ,intelligent person to look after your pet! Thanks for all you do Above and beyond!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”

Michelle took such wonderful care of my dog, Epsilon. She treated her with the same love, kindness, and attention that I do, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, and it was so reassuring to see Epsilon looking so happy, whether she was enjoying time outside, perched at the window watching the world go by, or curled up for snuggles. It was obvious she felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for. When I picked her up, she was a happy, relaxed girl, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Michelle to look after Epsilon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive pet sitter!
Rose was, and continues to be, an absolute gem. From the moment we entrusted Kuma to her care, we knew he was in wonderful hands. Throughout his stay, Rose provided regular updates, photographs, and videos, giving us much-needed peace of mind while we were away. Her honesty, warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals came through in every interaction. She didn’t simply “watch” Kuma — she welcomed him into her home, cared for him, cuddled him, played with him, and made him feel completely at ease. Perhaps the best review came directly from Kuma himself! When we arrived to pick him up, he greeted us with a few kisses and snuggles…and then promptly turned around and went back inside to continue playing with Misty. We couldn’t have asked for a better sign that he had felt happy, safe, loved, and very much at home. Finding someone you can trust with a beloved member of your family is incredibly important, and Rose gave us complete confidence from beginning to end. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she gave Kuma and would recommend her without hesitation. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you, Rose, for loving our boy so well. Kuma is already looking forward to his next visit with you and Misty!
Kimberly and her family were absolutely fantastic with Hershey! They got her out for lots of walkies and invited her into their home like Hershey was their own. I appreciated the photos showing all of her adventures. Hershey is a nervous dog but felt right at home with Kimberly. She was well loved and cared for and I would not hesitate to rebook in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of our puffer!
Anna was wonderful and very accomodating looking after my cat while I was visiting family out of the country. Her calm, friendly, and intuitive personality made my cat feel right at home. I can definitely count on her and will be reaching out to her again in the future.
Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.
Kate was awesome. This was our first time leaving our nervous dog at a sitters home and Kate was so great and giving lots of detailed updates and any concerns she had she brought to our attention immediately. Nori seems to really love Kate and bonded with her well. We would book Kate again in a heartbeat.
This was my dog’s second stay with Megan, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. When we arrived for the second visit, my dog was so excited to see her and couldn’t wait to go, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy he is with her. She’s kind, trustworthy, communicative, and takes such great care of him. I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands!
Monica and her family are amazing ! She put so much love and care into watching Lehu. She sent us multiple updates a day and was quick to respond. Lehu got many walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park. This was the first time we used a sitter, so it was comforting to know we could trust our dog with Monica. I hope she is free next time we need a sitter 💛
We are so incredibly pleased with the care Nancy gave our beloved Brownie while our family was abroad visiting relatives. She took care of him for almost 40 days, and knowing he was with such a lovely family gave us complete peace of mind. Brownie got along so well with her own dog and she sent us daily photos and updates, which meant so much to us. He was so well cared for, and when we picked him up, she even surprised him with a bag of treats and a brand-new toy to replace his old one that had broken—such a thoughtful gesture that she absolutely didn’t have to make. Nancy is genuinely kind, caring, and wonderful with dogs. We wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we’re away. Thank you, Nancy, for taking such amazing care of our sweet Brownie!
Olivia is amazing! She took a last minute booking for the night and my dog had the best time! George is typically a shy dog but seemed to warm up to Olivia right away. She was super communicative and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. Thank you Olivia!!
Angela was so great to work with and took such good care of my girl, Millie. She was so friendly, responsible and clearly cared about making sure my dog was happy and well looked after. She sent loads of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated! I would not hesitate to book with Angela again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

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.
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 .
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.
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.
