“Andrea was really great with Izzy. She was patient and made her comfortable in her home, allowing her to settle in. She played with her while understanding her boundaries and play style. Andrea was communicative and kept me updated while I was away. Izzy took to her and her family right away and I felt good knowing she was in good hands. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Alanna was an amazing sitter for my dog Hunter, he is a senior dog with mobility challenges and she worked so hard to accommodate his needs. I loved the updates and pictures she send. I would definitely recommend Alanna as she was so understanding and caring.”
“Rachel was great! Good communication and very friendly. We were on holiday from the states and our schedule changed a lot due to drive times and sightseeing. Rachel was very kind to pivot with us. Also, one of our dogs had special instructions with his medication, and she handled it without skipping a beat. She took great care of our boys! Would highly recommend her!”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Chinel and Christian! I trusted them right away and they took such wonderful care of Tosca while I was away, updating me regularly and sending numerous photos and videos of my very happy pup! It was great to know that she was in good hands and I enjoyed peace of mind throughout my get away! Thank you both again for taking such good care of my girl! ❤️ Julie”
“Helin and Seung are the sweetest, most caring pet lovers I have ever met! The are communicative, enthusiastic and sooo attentive to Nero’s needs. Nero bonded with their kids immediately, and even made friend with Luna, who was not too sure at first, but warmed up to him pretty quickly! I highly recommend these wonderful human beings to any of you who are looking for more than just pet sitting. Nero is learning new tricks!”
“Miru had a great time staying with Bianca! She went on hikes and had lots of fun playing with the other dogs Bianca was taking care of. It was clear she was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates. We would definitely book again.”
“We were so thankful for the care that Karly and Brent gave to our Coco. We received daily updates and pictures of their activities and hikes. Coco looked well and we could tell that she had really bonded with them. When we got to their place they were ready for us, even dismantled the crate! Bless them!! Thanks so much.”
“Michaela and Ben were absolutely amazing! We needed a sitter for our wedding and Michaela came and picked up Moose. The entire stay we got regular updates and Moose looked like she was living her best life.”
“Adrian took great care of my little kitty over the weekend. She was able to send lots of photos and updates which was much appreciated. I would absolutely book another stay with her.”
“Erika was the best pet sitter I’ve had so far on rover. She gave constant updates and took the best care of my boy. He was literally trying to run back into the building because he didn’t want to leave ! Her cat is also so cute !”
“Kirsten is kind, intuitive, dedicated, and a true friend to animals. She was so accommodating and took amazing care of our dog, taking care given he was in medication and has some anxiety. She went above and beyond for us and very clearly treasures her furry friends. We most definitely recommend!”
About: Both my partner and I grew up with rescue dogs of all sizes, ages, and breads and had our own senior husky up until the end of 2025. We both have years of experience with both reactive and non-reactive dogs. The breads we have the most experience with are huskies, boarder collies, labs, doodles, and Great Pyrenees but are comfortable with any and all doggies. My partner works fully remotely so is at home all day during the week. I myself work 5 hour days 4 days a week. So any pets will very very rarely be left unattended. We are both very active individuals with routine gym sessions, outdoor walks, and runs as we are so close Thetis Lake. Our home has a fully fenced in yard with some room to play. Our yard is additionally fully surrounded by a large hedge that offers good privacy. We also have room for any crates if needed for you pup. As mentioned previously, it is rare that your dog will be left alone during the day so frequent bathroom breaks are available.
“Dani was wonderful, Peaches felt instantly comfortable with them, communication was super easy & helpful, next time we’re in Victoria, Peaches will be very excited to stay with Dani again!”
“This was our first Rover experience and Lauren was fantastic! She has excellent communication and I immediately felt at ease with our initial meet up. She sent us regular updates and pictures and definitely showed our energetic dog a great time with walks, cuddles and lots of ball throwing!! Thank you Lauren!”
“Michele looked after my sweet girl for a long weekend. She sent me pictures which I loved receiving and was a great communicator - quick to respond to messages and made me feel comfortable with updates on how my pup was settling in and getting along. Thankful she was available and would love to have her look after my girl again!”
“We went to New Zealand for 6 weeks. Alisa looked after Lucy and sent us photos. Alisa communicated often and sent us photo’s of Lucy relaxing in the house, playing with Haiko and going on walks. If I asked any questions, Alisa responded quickly. I knew that Lucy was well looked after, and because of Alisa’s care we were never worried and could enjoy our time away. I will only use Alisa and family in future to look after Lucy. I recommend Alisa highly.”

Alanna was a clear communicator and quick to respond. She made sure Annie was the right fit for her family with a meet and greet, which gave me peace of mind that everything would go smoothly while I was away. She also updated me with daily photos and summaries of how Annie was doing. I would rebook with Alanna in the future and will recommend her to friends.
Rose was, and continues to be, an absolute gem. From the moment we entrusted Kuma to her care, we knew he was in wonderful hands. Throughout his stay, Rose provided regular updates, photographs, and videos, giving us much-needed peace of mind while we were away. Her honesty, warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals came through in every interaction. She didn’t simply “watch” Kuma — she welcomed him into her home, cared for him, cuddled him, played with him, and made him feel completely at ease. Perhaps the best review came directly from Kuma himself! When we arrived to pick him up, he greeted us with a few kisses and snuggles…and then promptly turned around and went back inside to continue playing with Misty. We couldn’t have asked for a better sign that he had felt happy, safe, loved, and very much at home. Finding someone you can trust with a beloved member of your family is incredibly important, and Rose gave us complete confidence from beginning to end. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she gave Kuma and would recommend her without hesitation. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you, Rose, for loving our boy so well. Kuma is already looking forward to his next visit with you and Misty!
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.

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.

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.

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 Metchosin 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.
