“Janean was very friendly, communicative and professional. This was my first time hiring a professional dog sitter/house sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
About: I have previously lived with 4 large dogs! And loved every minute of it. During this time I helped raise two puppies and took all 4 for frequent walks. I am available on Saturday and Sunday full time. Otherwise for week days I am available from the morning until 4 pm as I work evenings. I am an expert at building relationships with other peoples dogs! I love to play with them, take for walks or even just cuddle with them on the sofa I am also willing to do whatever necessary to keep them safe
“Kylee did a great job watching our dog Mya. Under the circumstances she did everything she could to keep our dog comfortable. She kept us updated, and sent us pictures. We appreciated all her help and care.”
“Kim was such a wonderful home and dog sitter. She took such great care of our Gus and sent us lots of photos and updates. She played lots of brain games with her and took her on little adventures. Our dog is a snuggler and it was so nice to know that Kim welcomed the snuggles. We would without hesitation book Kim again!”
“Anna was great with our furry and feathered family. She communicated early and made sure to ask important questions so we felt very comfortable leaving our 2 frenchies in her care. She gave them lots of attention and walks and they seemed relaxed and happy when we got home. The house was tidy and everything was very well cared for. We hope to have Anna back!”
“Danielle did a great job of caring for my two dogs and cat. She fed them etc exactly how I asked her too. She also left our home like we left it, clean sheets, garbage empty etc. We will definitely be asking Danielle next time we need a pet sitter”
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 am a flexible pet sitter who will prioritize your pets needs whether it's a snuggle, an adventure, medications, or continued training. I have experience with pets of all sizes and with reactive dogs (even larger sized ones). I have always loved all animals and had a beloved family dog growing up. I have since become a go to sitter for many of my friends and a pet aunt for most of them. I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would provide to my own animal while simultaneously respecting the rules and routines you have set out for your pet. If your request for care falls outside of my normal calendar/service offerings, please still contact me as I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule depending on client needs. I have the ability to work remotely 3days/week and can normally adjust my work schedule to ensure your comfort with how much time I'm spending with your pet in your absence. Pet care is customized to the pet, their owner, and the needs. I am willing to stay at your home if you require additional house sitting, but reside in a very pet friendly building if you would like your pet to meet some new neighbourhood friends. I like to meet prior to your departure to walk through the space, meet your pet, and cover any details that I may require (normal schedules, special needs, emergency contacts, vet details, etc).
“Sasha came through for us on short notice with a house sitting request and our big guy had a great time with her! She was amiable and professional and demonstrated that she really cares about the pets she is watching.”
About: I have almost always had a pet throughout my life. Cats mainly but in more recent years I have been caring for both dogs and cats both through private house sitting (friends & family) and through the Trusted Housesitters app (Happy to share my reviews from there). I work remotely so I am often in the home a lot so that animals will get a lot of attention! Lots of cuddles and play time! I am very active so I love taking dogs for walks and hikes (depending on what the dog likes and is able to do). I am not super strong though, so I will say that if you have a large dog that isn't leash trained please don't request me (I've had an incident with a larger dog that wasn't great on leash and I just wasn't strong enough to control her). As a previous long time pet owner I know how tough it can be to put trust in another person to love your animals as much as you do. I like to ensure I'm giving the pet as much attention, love and care as their owners would. And also provide reassurance and lots of updates to the pet owners while they are away. I am self employed and work remotely so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate pet care. If I am house sitting, the pets get extra attention as I can give them attention while working and on my breaks. :) I travel and house sit full time so I am only able to take care of your pet at your home. When I am not traveling I generally am in the Comox Valley but I have a vehicle so I'm able to pet sit around Vancouver Island. I will take great care of your pets, home, and plants if needed! You'll return home to a nice clean home.
“James looked after our two dogs, and cat in our home for two days and one night. He was able to accommodate us with short notice which was very much appreciated. He was excellent with the pets, and was very respectful of our home. We look forward to working with him again in the future!”
About: *NOTE* For Reviews of Past Pet care * Please look through all of my photos. I specialize in in-home care for cats and small dogs, offering a calm, respectful presence so your pet can remain comfortable in their own environment. I bring extensive house and pet sitting experience. My experience includes extended stays, maintaining household routines, and providing dependable care while homeowners travel. Having owned four homes and cared for my own pets over the years, I understand firsthand the importance of treating both pets and property with genuine care and responsibility. I have a natural affinity for cats, including those who are shy, anxious, or slow to warm. I understand feline boundaries and build trust quietly and patiently. I also welcome small and senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace, consistent routines, and attentive companionship. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications and pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. What sets me apart is maturity, reliability, and discretion. I treat your home with care and integrity, and I'm happy to tend to plants and general household upkeep while you're away. I provide thoughtful updates so you can travel with peace of mind. My approach is simple: calm energy, careful attention, and a genuinely peaceful experience for both pets and their people. *NOTE* For Reviews of Past Pet care * Please look through all of my photos. Pet care is an intentional part of my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care, companionship, feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment while maintaining each pet's familiar schedule. I offer overnight house sitting and scheduled drop-in visits, limiting the number of pets I care for at a time to ensure each receives calm, individualized attention. My flexible routine accommodates vacations, extended travel, and occasional care needs. I prioritize consistency, medication schedules, and a peaceful environment. I'm particularly well suited to cats, small dogs, and senior pets who appreciate gentle companionship, predictable routines, and thoughtful care. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind. Having owned four homes myself, I understand the importance of treating your home and belongings with genuine respect and care, ensuring everything remains secure, clean, and orderly. I carefully follow your pet's established routines and any specific care instructions, paying close attention to behaviour, appetite, and overall well-being. I provide a daily update with photos so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications, maintaining clean litter boxes, providing fresh water, and offering gentle play or affectionate companionship when welcomed. My calm, consistent approach helps pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. Above all, I aim to create an environment where your pet can relax and thrive while you're away, and you can travel knowing your home and companions are in attentive, trustworthy hands.
“Janine and her daughters stayed in our home, and they took great care of our dog, Watson, and our chickens. Watson got to visit the beach and swim with them every day! We returned home to a happy flock, a very content dog, and a super clean house. I highly recommend Janine as a pet and house sitter! This was the third time she looked after our pets, and we are so happy with the care they received while we were away. ☺️”

Ally was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs and cat—they were clearly spoiled with love, attention, and cuddles while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a clean, well-looked-after home, which made all the difference. We’re so grateful for the care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Ally!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Hilliers 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 Hilliers 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 Hilliers 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
