“Andrea and her family took great care of our Loki for a week, following the care instructions we provided and sending us frequent updates and photos. We felt Loki was in great hands, we would not hesitate to recommend her and book with her again if we are ever in need again in Victoria!”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Kevin and Kayla were an amazing fit for my dog Bueller, they were quick communicators and Bueller loved sunbathing on their patio. He came back healthy and happy and had clearly been given lots of love while we were away. Would book with them again in a heartbeat!”

“Amelia and Thomas were great guardians for my border collie Seeka! They watched him for a few nights and gave me regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. Seeka seemed to get along great with their pup Biscuit as well. Amelia and Thomas were easy to communicate with and they made the whole process seamless. I hope to have them sit Seeka again this summer while on the island”
“Audrey was absolutely amazing!!! She did a meet and greet at a park before booking, which I super appreciated, and then was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay!!! I’m an anxious dog parent so having her look after Roxy and treat her as her own was perfect. I absolutely would book her again!!!!!”

Thanks for the care and attention you provided to Bailey, Alex and S!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Metchosin
She is an excellent pet sitter, and I felt completely at ease leaving my senior dog in her care. My dog is small, timid, and can be nervous around other dogs, but she made sure that all interactions were safe and comfortable for her. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with photos and videos, which meant a lot to me and gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and treated her with kindness and patience. I am very grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

This was the best decision I have made. Courtney and Ben welcomed Enzo into their home and truly gave him the most amazing g experience. I am very thankful I came across their profile and I hope that Enzo will get to have many more stays with them in the future ! Thank you !!!!
What can I say about Julie and Cody. They are hands the best possible dog sitters i've ever met in my life. My dog is my family and I am very careful with who I leave my dog with. I was away in Mexico for a week and left my Marcus with Julie and Cody. They treated him like family. My dog loved being there! Food ran out, and they went out and got more (the exact brand he eats). They are also such kind people and my dog could sense that. They are super professional and work from home so gave my pup so much attention, he was never alone. Their home is organized and clean! They snuggled with Marcus most nights and walked him a lot! My dog has never been more comfortable. In fact, he didn't want to leave when we picked him up. While taking care of my dog, they gave me daily updates and even sent pictures. Just wonderful. I am very grateful to Julie and Cody and will only be leaving my dog with them from now on. Any dog owner would be lucky to leave their dog with Julie and Coy.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Metchosin home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Metchosin
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 83% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
