“This was Poppy’s first time for a sleepover. She loves visiting Doug and Janice so i was not hesitant with her staying over. I see how comfortable and happy she is with them and they with her. Poppy usually accompanies us on trips but this was one we couldn’t bring her on. I’m so happy to have found them to look after Poppy for us! For a few hours of daycare or a sleepover, i know she’ll be safe and happy with Doug and Janice!”

“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”

Their calm presence and comfortability around animals was a huge reassurance, and Juno was happy and tired when I picked her up. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!”

About: Jody and Phia are mother and daughter duo - Together we make a trustworthy, attentive team, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, love, and supervision while you’re away. - if Jody's Schedule is busy please look at Phia's profile https://www.rover.com/members/phia-r-because-every-pet-deserves-cuddles/ Jody - I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, beginning on a farm in central Alberta where I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. By the age of 12, I was breeding Cocker Spaniels, and at 17, I joined the dog show circuit, competing in both conformation and obedience. Training and handling dogs has always been second nature to me. One of the most meaningful chapters of my life was being the trainer, handler, and partner to my narcotics detection K9. Together we worked civilian searches of commercial and private properties in Colorado. My Malinois partner is now happily retired at 15 years old, living the good life alongside my cat and my “grand-cat.” (My daughter, Phia and I fostered for the CatNap Society for years until we had a “foster fail” with one kitten we simply couldn’t give up!) Beyond cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for reptiles (including water dragons), livestock, and horses through years of riding and farm life. This gives me the confidence to adapt to many different animal personalities and needs—from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring patience, routine, and special care. Phia - I am a 20 year old, responsible animal lover. I was raised around animals and has spent many years assisting with pet care, fostering, and daily training routines. I spent many years working on a local hobby farm, working with dogs, cats, goats, horses and chickens. Through my work on the farm, with the CatNap Society and our own household pets, I have developed a calm, compassionate approach—especially with dogs, cats, horses, shy animals, and senior pets who benefit from gentle handling and quiet companionship. What sets us apart is a lifetime of hands-on training experience, a deep respect for animals, and a calm, confident presence that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for in their own home. Our 24-hour house sitting rate includes potty breaks and playtime. Walks are available at an additional charge per 30 minutes. As a team we can be flexible with our time. I’m self-employed with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care. With my kids grown and out of the house, I can devote extra time, attention, and love to caring for pets whenever needed. Phia is a 20 year old adult who is very responsible with her own pet care and works mostly evenings (typically between 4pm-10pm). When caring for pets in their own home, I keep their routines consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medications, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I respect each client’s home as if it were my own—secure, tidy, and trustworthy. With my calm, experienced approach, pets can relax in their familiar environment and owners can feel confident they’re in caring hands.

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: I have been actively petsitting for 2 years and looking after pets is my true passion! I offer overnight petsitting in your home where your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings while you’re away :) My overnight stays generally start late afternoon or evening-to-morning, meaning I typically arrive between 3 - 6 pm and stay overnight until the morning of the last petsit day. My overnight pet sitting care is live-in, which means I will stay in your home, resume my normal schedule with the goal of keeping to your pet’s regular routine as much as possible. • I am generally away for approximately 4-8 hours depending on my schedule, working at my job. So this service is best suited for pets who are comfortable during the day/used to working pawrents!🐾 • For in my home boarding/petsitting, I can accept 1 dog at a time and they must be friendly with other dog & cats. I have a fenced yard + parks and trails nearby! • If this sounds like a good fit for you, feel welcome to reach out! 🐾❤️ During the day, I am either doing check ins or working at my job. I am always around in the evenings & overnight when I’m doing in your home petsitting. Whether it’s multiple daytime check ins, or an overnight petsit, I’ll treat your pets like family, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’d be honored to be part of their routine and help give you peace of mind when you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. We had Golden Retrievers and a Shepard growing up and now I have my own fur baby who is a Chocolate Lab named Arthur. I’ve worked in the pet industry for many years from retail, assisting in a Vet clinic and a Sales Rep for a pet product company. I have a lot of free weekends and what better way to spend that extra time than to spend it with dogs! Please keep in mind I do have a dog that would also be in the home so your dog must be okay with other dogs. I believe in a healthy balance of exercise and down time. I will typically do 1-2 walks a day, play in the back yard and down time with lots of cuddles. I would also like to mention, that If you have a shy or senior dog that likes a calm environment then this is your place!

About: I’m a past pet owner. I've recently looked after my sisters two small dogs for long weekends or a week at a time in BC while they were away. I’ve even looked after a relatives house, 2 Great Danes, 1 med sized dog and a few cats for a couple weeks when I was a kid with my elderly grandmother. Big responsibility! I’ve also looked after a neighbours cat for a couple weeks twice a day for feeds, daily cat litter cleaning, and music turned on and off with cuddle time. I’m bondable! I’ve volunteered and work for police forces over the years so no record etc. I believe animals have souls and need love and to be cared for. I’m willing to go to your home and water, feed and take your fur baby out for bathroom breaks and a cuddle. This will take a load off your mind as well as physically for your fur babies. I may not have years of getting paid and labelled as “professional” but I’m experienced when loving animals and using common sense to look after them and your home. Any questions, just ask. Cheers. I am a mortgage broker and can work from home. This gives me the flexibility to be with your pets mostly around the clock. Taking pets for walks and out door breaks when required. I will obliviously, learn and note what is needed as per the owner of the pet. I will make sure the pet feels loved and not alone while the owner is away. I will look after the residents as well. Pets are fed and watered in a timely manner and working with the owners schedule as required.

About: Dog mom of Max since he was 8 weeks old. My parents used to breed miniature schnauzers, so it was really neat to be part of the process of birthing and puppy care ☺️ After an extended break from dog-sitting, I finally am settled in my own home. My partner and I recently moved to Nanaimo and are excited to explore! My partner and I work from home full-time, so our schedule is flexible for daily potty breaks, walks, outside playtime and snuggles. We also like visiting off-leash dog parks and the beach. Max is a very well loved pup! He is a member of the family, is allowed on the couch for a snuggle and sleeps at the foot of the bed. I love taking Max to off-leash dog parks and trails, so if that's appropriate for your dog, that's great too! I am happy to share lots of video and photos while your pup is in my care. I have an open-communication policy so if there is anything that concerns you, please ask!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hilliers is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $66 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.

You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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 Hilliers 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.
