“We had Danielle take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were on vacation in Singapore. She was more than we could have hoped for. She sent regular updates, with videos and photos which made it much easier for us to be so far away from them. Her current service dog in training, and our youngest became the best of buds. She meticulously followed, our dog special dietary needs. She went above and beyond when we ran out of their usual breakfast food by obtaining ingredients and making some more, following our recipe. We’re very grateful to have found Danielle and look forward to using her again in the future.”

I have a very flexible schedule right now and I am excited to make some new furry best friends! I am available for weekdays, weekends and overnights. Book now to take advantage of my promo rates! I will give your pet so much love and care, keep them active and happy while their human(s) are away and ensure that they have everything they need to feel safe in my care.
About: I'm a patient, gentle, and responsible person who enjoys spending time outdoors, going for walks, and exploring nature. I'd be happy to share those little adventures with your dog, while also enjoying quiet, relaxed time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and needs. I take the time to get to know them and respect their individual preferences, whether that means an energetic walk, a little playtime, or simply some quiet companionship and cuddles. I am a semi-retired educator, a former dog Mom who has a lot of time and love to share with your furry companion. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and staying active. This makes pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my day. At the same time I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. I believe in creating a calm, loving environment where pets can feel at home. I’m happy to send you regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Most of all, I offer patience, kindness, and genuine affection. I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone else requires trust, and I would do my very best to make that experience a positive one for both you and your furry family member.
“Anna Maria came to our home to look after our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She took good care of our pets looking after feeding, walking, playing, cuddling and cleaning up. We were concerned because our senior dog, age 17, becomes stressed when we are away and needs special care. We appreciated the daily pictures and updates Anna Marie sent and could see that our pets were happy and calm with her competent care. She is reliable and trustworthy and we will be happy to hire her again.”
“Thank you Kathryn for your understanding today and helping fulfill the needs for Daisy. She clearly trusted you right away and your consistent communication allowed me to enjoy my day away :)”
“I asked the dogs: Salsa - "Many stars! Many walks! Much fun! Cookies? Things! WHEEEEE!" Mister Bird - "All good. Got some bounces in there, hung out a lot, cruised the neighbourhood. Worked out great!" Salsa - "WHEEEEE! Cookies?" We will happily hire Shannon again.”
“Teresa is a gem! Our usually stand offish dog loved Teresa and bonded with her quickly. Teresa was considerate, conscientious, communicative, kind, and caring. We came home to a happy dog and very clean home. We’d have no hesitation in booking Teresa again.”
About: Having been a pawsitively puuurrfect (at least I think that I gave them the best homes possible) pet Mama for almost 30 years, whose furbabies are no longer with me, I have been Pet and House Sitting over this last year. Living and working in Victoria, I have had the pleasure of being able to do numerous Pet and House Sits in and around this beautiful place that I call home. An animal lover with the time, energy, experience and flexibility to help others to live their lives and allow/trust me with their furbabies. I love dogs and cats of all sizes, shapes, breeds and personalities. Having a somewhat flexible schedule, I am able to come into your home, look after your loved ones and provide lots of love, cuddles, walks, scratches, basic medications (if required) and positive energy. Having a somewhat flexible schedule (I do work Shift Work at a local hospital), I am able to come into your home, look after your loved ones and provide lots of love, cuddles, walks, scratches, basic medications (if required) and positive energy. Although I am unable to care for pets in my home, I am willing and able to come and stay at your home. This allows me to provide continuity, familiarity, existing schedules, feeling of safety and care for your pets in whatever manner they are used to. I will look after your pets how you want them to be looked after and, in return, will receive as many cuddles and snuggles, face licks and sleeping buddies as they are comfortable giving back to me.
“Susanne did an excellent job watching Raii! Arrived on time, took her for walks which can be difficult at times. Raii loved her . She was very friendly and easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable Very pleased with Susanne and would definitely get again”
“Chris was a complete gem. Bella was so happy when we got home. He took great care of her and communicated to us well. Sending us pics of how happy she was daily. Highly recommend.”
“Tiana was a great sitter, and I would definitely recommend her to others. Her communication, availability, and flexibility as we made plans for her to stay at my house was SO kind, and for that alone I am so grateful!! But she did a great job taking care of my kitty, and I was happy to not have to worry about her while I was gone for multiple weeks. Tiana also went out of her way to be very respectful of my home while she was staying there. She clearly put thought and effort into making sure things were nice, clean, and set up for me when I arrived home. I can't tell you how good it felt to come home after a long trip to my space and cat being so well taken care of <3 I definitely want her to catsit again for me next time.”

“Kirsten took care of our 2 little dogs, Bessie and Judy, for a week in our home while we were on holiday. We were so grateful for the care and love she showed them, especially since Judy can be a bit skittish with strangers at first. But thanks to Kirsten's delicate and extra care, and frequent updates, we had peace of mind that they were well taken care of. It was clear when we returned that they were totally at ease with her. Kirsten was also a great house guest. We wouldn't hesitate to ask her to take care of our girls again!”
“Can't say enough amazing things about Michaella! Wish I could give her infinity star rating! She was so communicative from the start and was incredibly reliable and sweet. Our fur babies loved her so much, and she went above and beyond making sure our home was tidy when we came back from our weekend away. Would absolutely have her back!”
About: I have cared for pets for many years, from dogs and cats to fish, and I truly love being around animals. I’m an attentive person, and I’m willing to give your pet everything I have. I would love to take the time to understand your pet’s personality and routine. I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, as well as send you regular updates! I currently work from home, so I’m home all day and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can promise that your pet will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have a relatively spacious home right by the lake, which gives pets a comfortable and peaceful environment to stay in. I will make sure to follow any instructions you give in order to keep your pet and myself safe.
About: Caring for dogs have been my passion for over 16 years, cats for a few years. I’m comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. From patience required for senior dogs or special needs to the playful energy of a new puppy, I adapt my energy to fit your pet’s personality. My approach is calm, connected and understanding, attention to details and genuine care. Dog walks are my favourite form of exercise, cat cuddles are my favourite way to chill :) From January to May 2027, we’ll be exploring Vancouver Island as a potential new home. With no other work commitments during this time, we have complete availability to give your pets undivided attention and keep your home clean and tidy. (Available for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits across Vancouver Island, Jan–May 2027) With 7 years of hands-on rescue volunteer experience, I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs.

“Lyne was wonderful with my high-energy golden retriever. He was happy and well-cared for, and I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care.”
“According to Bailey, our Maltese, Pat treated him with attention and affection like never before (except from us) while we were away on Christmas vacation: he frankly hated to see her leave. Pat responded to our enquiry promptly and met with us on two occasions to get all the details regarding staying in our home, including Bailey's culinary details and exercise and sleeping preferences. Upon our return we found everything as we had left it and a very happy Bailey eager to have us go on another vacation in order to have fun with Pat again. We highly recommend Pat as she saved the situation for us. Initially, we did some "interviews" with a local kennel but were rejected since all Bailey did during the "all day trial" was try to escape. On future trips, Pat will be the first person we'll contact for the job.”
“Erin stayed at my house with my dog and two cats. I came home to a very clean house and happy animals. Erin sends lots of pictures every day. I could tell that she really loves the animals and they love her. This is the second time Erin has stayed with my pets and I would not hesitate to have her stay here with them again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Duncan is $59

We couldn’t be happier with Anna’s care while we were away for a week! She kept us fully updated throughout our trip, communicated wonderfully, and was always ready to handle last-minute requests without missing a beat. Our cat was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. Thank you so much, Anna—highly recommended!
I can’t say how grateful I am for having met Seoyeong! After over 3 years without taking vacations together, my husband and I were really nervous and unsure about leaving our Nina with someone we didn’t know, and the best review was actually seeing how rested and relaxed Nina was when we finally got back home. Our dog was happy to see us, of course, but there was no anxiety, no signs of stress at all, and that is the best review I can think of. Seoyeong was so patient with us throughout the entire process… That was our first time using Rover, and we had a lot of questions and all the uncertainties that come with leaving our baby with someone new. Seoyeong was patient with our questions and accommodating to our needs. That gave us the confidence we needed to enjoy a wonderful vacation time! I can’t thank her enough for that!! She kept track of Nina’s food, exercise routine, and supplements… Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, the apartment was nice and tidy when we got back. Nina was in great shape, happy and relaxed, and that says it all! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Nina asked me to tell you she is missing you already.🐾
Sean is super great! Flexible and accommodating and totally understood my unique request to spend time with Badger while I'm away and my son is at school. He sent photos of our boy who looked so happy! It's such a relief to find someone who genuinely loves animals and can match big dog energy! Any dog in Sean's care will definitely be safe and happy ❤️
Cameron has stayed with my dog multiple times now and has been great everytime. She's a true German Shepherd and has a hard time with new people. She's also 100 pounds so not just anyone can watch her. Our house has been left clean every time. would definitely recommend him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Duncan is $89 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $118 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Duncan maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Duncan walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Duncan choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
