“We had such a wonderful experience with our cat sitter. She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and took amazing care of our cats. She even managed to win over our most shy kitty on her very last visit — no small feat! We would absolutely be happy to book her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Sarah made us feel comfortable from the start with her skills and friendly demeanor. She documented every step of her visit so that we could be confident our senior cats with complex needs were well cared for. We would not hesitate to book Sarah again as our cat sitter.”
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.
“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.”
“Alyssa dropped in on our cats over a weekend. She was great at communicating and sending us pictures of our boys. It was their first time alone and Alyssa gave us peace of mind. Would definitely book again 😀”
About: I work from home and have flexible schedule. Did drop in visits, walking and overnight sitting for friends and families over the past few years. I am currently working from home Monday to Friday with flexible schedule, I am open to discuss the specific requirements to meet your busy schedule. I can do drop ins and long hour in home stays with your pets, let’s make a plan to fit in your schedule and expectation :)
“Kassie was very nice and responsive. Our cat has happy and healthy as normal and I'm sure that she did a great job dropping in on him while we were out of town camping. Would totally call again for future kitty care. Thanks Kassie!”
“Ramesh took great care of William. Lots of updates and pictures while I was away. Very good communication and flexible with pick up times. William returned happy and relaxed! Would recommend :)”
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: I have an extensive background in training and rescue rehabilitation. I ran a dog rescue for 9 years, had a rewards-based training business for two years and have further educated myself from webinars and online courses. I completed the Dogma Behaviour Consultant course in Calgary, AB in 2017. Your dog will be part of the family and join in or sit out as much as needed. Liv and I usually start off our day by walking the kids to school, then it is usually playtime for Liv, followed by a nap while I clean. A balance of action and rest is practiced by the dogs throughout the day. My husband works from home a lot as well, so even if I step out to drive the kids somewhere (which your dog may join) there is often someone home, but not always. If separation anxiety is an issue we can discuss the symptoms and the fit. Hi, I'm Tara — a Dogma Certified Behaviour Consultant (DCBC, 2017) and lifelong dog person, offering walks and drop-ins in Victoria, weekdays around school hours and on some weekends. Dogs have been my working life for over a decade. I founded and ran Rosier Days Dog Rescue Society (2013–2024), and before that I owned and ran Dogsession Behaviour & Training in Calgary, assessing behaviour and designing positive-reinforcement training plans. I'm experienced with the dogs other walkers find tricky: I can work with LEASH REACTIVITY, PUPPY LEASH MANNERS and confidence in environments, PULLERS, or a simple walk that offers more than just steps! Focus training, sniff breaks that get them thinking, or working on certain skills. My walks are a walk and train, that take your priorities as well as considering what I can offer to work on with your dog that will allow them to thrive! Together we can form a plan so that your dog is learning, exercising, and having a mid day outing! My methods- My training methods are free from fear, pain, or force. I believe in building trust and positive relationships with your dog. Giving them the confidence to navigate this world appropriately. Tools- treats will need to be provided. I will not use any tools that do not align with my methods. Some additional equipment may be requested. Your pet will be loved as one of my own. They will have lots of action, attention, but also respect in order to get what they need.
About: 5+ years of hands-on experience and dedication to providing thoughtful care for every pet. I have cared for puppies, dogs, and cats by house-sitting, walking dogs, feeding pets, giving medications and vitamins, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide reliable, loving care. I am available to walk your pets in the early afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can house-sit on occasion, if we come to a mutual agreement! I provide loving, personalized care, follow routines, ensure fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Customizable to you!
“Maia was great checking in on my cat and alleviated a lot of stress for him when I was out of town. Maia is a true animal lover and my cat was comfortable with her right away. She is reliable, communicates well, and follows all the instructions for your pet. I am looking forward to her caring for my cat again.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love walking and caring for cats and dogs! I provide nice walks which ensure lots of exercise for your dog. I also provide dog sitting to make sure your dog is getting loads of attention and play time throughout the day along with food and water and other needs. I have an abundance of experience for taking care of dogs. Along with having my own dogs I have also dog sat regularly for the past two years. This included taking dogs on walks, feeding them, making sure they always have enough water and get enough attention. I am very flexible and pay attention to details. I cannot wait to meet your pets and provide them with amazing animal care services. I am currently a student studying geography at the University of Victoria! This allows me to have a very flexible and I’d love to fit animal care in as much as I can! I can adapt to your pets schedule and their needs:) I provide safe care and follow instruction for all pet care. Doggies and animals alike are welcome in my home to be taken care of as well as house visits.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, giving me a genuine love and understanding of animals from an early age. My family bred Labrador Retrievers for more than 10 years, providing me with hands-on experience in caring for dogs at every stage of their lives. From raising and caring for puppies to feeding, walking, playing, and attending dog shows, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for the care, attention, and companionship dogs need to thrive. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, caring, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. I’m available 7 days a week, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering flexible dog walking and drop-in visits to fit your schedule. Whether your pup needs a refreshing walk, a little extra exercise, or some companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Drop-in visits can include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for your pup to safely play, explore, and get some extra exercise. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs, including crate time when requested and medication administration as needed. When we head out for field-trip walks or adventures, my vehicle is equipped with protective seat covers and secure doggy seatbelts to help keep your pup safe and comfortable while travelling. Whether your dog is enjoying some playtime in the yard, heading out for a walk, or simply relaxing in my care, I provide attentive, responsible, and loving supervision every step of the way.
About: I have dog experience full time for the past 3 years since my family got our dog Cocoa, however before her I’ve had experience with caring for my extended families pets from time to time. My most memorable being my grandmothers rescue dog Bo, he was partially deaf and near fully blind but he had a lot of life in him, I would walk him and sit with him for comfort when we saw grandma. I have experience a few times with other dog sitting as well as slight reptile experience. I have been able to care for puppies in training and senior dogs needing a companion. I have been working part time but am currently between jobs. I take turns with my siblings on the early morning walk for our dog, and I will typically do the midday walk as usually I’m the one home for it. Feeding my dog can get tricky as our cats like stealing her food so I have learnt how to time her meals accordingly. Once I learn a pets schedule I am able to fully follow it wi to ease In my home I have a fenced yard with a chicken coop fenced off separately, my dog loves outside time and she typically just relaxes. I am able to provide any kind of care for dogs in my own yard as long as they’re comfortable around other pets and chickens. We have lots of running room for dogs in the front yard for fun play. Due to the fence I don’t have to focus too much on recall skills with my own dog but I know how to properly recall dogs in places without fences.
“Thanks Sydney so much for the drop-in visit! You were very thoughtful and attentive, and it really showed in the way you cared for them. I felt very reassured knowing they were in such good hands.”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Highlands
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.
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.
