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!

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. Back in Brazil, I had dogs growing up, and for the past two years I’ve been the proud mom of Amelie, a Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix with the sweetest personality! Being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I love understanding their unique personalities, taking them on walks, watching them play, and just being present with them. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends whenever they travel, and over time I realized I had a real skill for it, that’s what inspired me to turn this into something more. I’m calm, patient, and very attentive to each dog’s needs. I’m also comfortable giving oral medication if needed. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my priorities! Pet care fits really well into my routine! I work part-time as a caregiver. Caring for others has always been part of my life, as I’m also a trained esthetician. My shifts are overnight, which gives me plenty of time during the day to care for pets, go on walks, and be fully present with them. My husband and I do this together, we both love animals and share the responsibility. On the nights I’m working, he stays with the pets, making sure they’re safe and comfortable. It’s a team effort, and we truly enjoy it! I live in an apartment, so I only host one dog at a time (plus my own sweet dog, Amelie). That way, I can give each pet the attention they deserve and ensure a calm, safe environment. I accept small to medium-sized dogs only, as I don’t have a backyard and want to make sure they feel comfortable indoors. We go on regular walks and have a peaceful routine at home. Your pet will be treated like family and always under loving supervision!

We are looking to add furry friends to our lives and have lots of love to give. Your dog or cat will be treated like family under our care. We will take your dog out for bathroom breaks as needed and feed them according to their feeding schedule with food you provide. We are both active and will ensure your dog gets the physical activity it desires! We will communicate with you throughout and will share as many updates and photos as you desire. We are happy to meet in advance to ensure we're the right fit to look after your pet as we take the care of your pet seriously.

About: I have been caring for animals in general since I was 10 years old. I love petting them and taking care of them. I also love teaching them different ways to respond to calls and, above all, taking care of them as if they were another member of the family. I’m working Monday to Friday 7-4PM, so I’d be available after this day time during week & full weekend. Most of the time we will be chillin’ o just hiking/walking around. 🌳🐕‍🦺 I’d do both if necessary. I’d rather to have them in their own space for avoiding stressful situations ofc. I’m currently living in Langford 📍BC

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been caring for dogs since I was very young. I grew up with a family dog and honestly can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t completely obsessed with them. I genuinely think dogs are the best part of this world. I now have my own 1 year and 4 month old adopted pup, Mocha, who is friendly, well-socialized, and gets along with everyone. I’m comfortable with basic training, reinforcing good manners, crate routines, and safely introducing dogs. I pay close attention to body language and always prioritize a calm, positive environment. I live very close to Esquimalt Lagoon Beach and the Royal Roads walking trails, so your pup will enjoy beautiful, enriching walks in nature. I offer walks, doggy daycare, and boarding, and I can also offer to pick up and drop off your pup. I’ll always treat your dog like my own. My goal is to provide safe, loving care while giving your pup a fun experience... and maybe a new best friend in Mocha! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because my weekends and days off are dedicated to being active and spending time outdoors with my dog, Mocha. I work during the week, but I’m available on weekends and on my days off for walks, daycare, and boarding. For added convenience, I also offer pick-up and drop-off if needed. During those days, I structure my schedule around walks, outdoor time, play, and rest to ensure dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. Living so close to the lagoon and Royal Roads trails makes it easy to provide regular, enriching outings throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I live just a 2-minute walk from Esquimalt Lagoon Beach and the Royal Roads trails, where I regularly take my dog, Mocha, for structured, enriching walks. I also go on trails for adventure walks. For safety, dogs are always kept leashed unless otherwise discussed and appropriate. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play. Mocha is a very friendly, well-socialized dog who adapts well to different personalities. He can be calm and respectful or playful and energetic depending on your dog’s vibe. I’m very attentive to routines and will carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walk preferences, crate training, and any special needs. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I aim to make them feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 3 indoor cats and caring for my grandparents German Shepherds. I fostered many dogs and cats with my roommates in University, and worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 2+ years. I’ve rescued a senior dog from the SPCA (who since passed) and now have a 3.5yr Rottweiler. My schedule is extremely flexible and I can make myself available at anytime needed to provide care for your pets. A typical day with my dog consists morning potty, breakfast, long walk, indoor mental play time, supper, outside potty and more play time. It’s not uncommon to go for off-leash walks in a park. Another activity we enjoy is mental enrichment - either a mind game with treats or frozen kong. I have a condo in Westhills. There are many parks and trails nearby. I also have a SUV I use to take the dogs on adventures to the beach, hikes, etc. As for care in your home; I like to maintain whatever schedule you have!

About: I have a beautiful, sweet kitty in my life but I need more love and I’m hoping to get it from your pets! I grew up on a hobby farm with all sorts of animals. I have experience with cats, dogs, small animals, birds, large livestock and even insects and arachnids. I have to say living in the farm has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Through my many years experience with pets I have learned to read the body language and eye contact of a variety of animals making it easier to build trust and a better connection. I’m attentive and affectionate and am confident your loved ones will be in safe in my loving hands. I work part time from home in the insurance industry but would love to eventually make Rover my fulltime career. I am able to take your pet outside to the bathroom anytime of the day and can go for mini walks on my breaks before the big adventure after work. I will care for your pets in your home just as you would care for your pets in your home. Per your instructions as always.

We had a wonderful experience with Jasper! He looked after our three Ragdolls for a week, making sure they were well fed and spending time visiting and keeping them company each day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were being cared for so well while we were away. Jasper was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we came home, which says everything. We’re very, very happy with the care they received and would absolutely recommend Jasper to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. We would happily book him again

About: I have spent most of my childhood into early 20s rescuing dogs and either rehoming or keeping them for their full life span. I can care for your dog like they are my own! I love getting outside any chance I can get and typically work my regular job in the evenings so this provides a great morning routine for dogs whos owners typically work early mornings and through the day. I care for pets by using positive reinforcement when learning new skills and providing lots of attention and time outside so they do not develop bad behaviours in the home or in public.

We had a last minute request for drop-in sessions for my brother’s Big Bully Baby, Benny. My brother was away snowboarding and Benny was staying with my father, but was just too much dog for my father to exercise as he is having health problems. I’m on the mainland and couldn’t help out but luckily found Emma here, and she was able to go out and walk Benny and play with him two days in a row to get Benny out in the fresh air and get some energy out of him. She really saved the day and Benny loved his time with her. I wasn’t sure if I would find someone comfortable with Benny’s size and breed (even though he’s a big softie) so to have her come play and be comfortable with him was an extra blessing. Thank you so much!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Metchosin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Metchosin on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 769 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Metchosin. About 85% of Metchosin sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Metchosin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

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 Metchosin 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!

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.

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.

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.
