“Amber is just fantastic! Not only is she a great communicator but she also sent regular photos and videos of our pup having a great time. We always know our dog is in good hands with Amber. Highly recommend.”
“First time, short notice, great experience. My dog has some separation anxiety and Ingrid indicated he might not be a good fit but she did agree to take my dog. Honestly, I wouldn't want to take my Standard Poodle either. In the end it all worked out good. Nico was well looked after. No hesitation in recommending Ingrid to look after your dog.”

About: Had dogs all my life and trained and rehabilitated my 15 year old border collie. Recently said good bye to both family dogs.

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.

My dog Stella stayed with Sean for a week. As a recently adopted rescue with some leash reactivity and a few unknowns about how she'd handle new situations, I wanted to find someone I felt confident could manage her appropriately. Sean's history with dogs gave me that confidence, and Stella ended up being in good hands. When I picked her up, she was a happy relaxed dog and I really appreciated that Sean worked with her on some of her manners. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sean!
Timbit had a great time with Lauren and her cute pup Dolly. Lauren provided regular communication with photos and videos and treated him like her own. Timbit got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and even got some beach time and a pup cup to enjoy. Thanks for taking such good care of our little guy! Would rebook in a heartbeat when we’re in town again.
Grace and Benoit did a great job taking care of Harvey. They really went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and got lots of attention. Grace and Benoit also provided multiple updates with photos during Harvey’s stay with them. I would highly recommend using them to care for your dog.. .unless it’s during a time when we need them ;)

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.
You and your Courtenay sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
