“Absolutely recommend Chantelle! She was very kind and communicative. She took out my dog to the beach that my dog hasn’t been which is so awesome as my dog loves to go to new places and sent me lots of pics and I could tell my dog is having a blast!”

“Kaitlyn was great to deal with! She arranged to come by and meet our pets before the dates of their care and was very professional. We got lots of pics of our cat and dog while we were away and felt confident they were in good hands. We would definitely book with Kaitlyn again.”

About: I have at least 10 years of experience with dogs, I have had all kinds of animals growing up and currently have one dog. I have dog walked, dog sat, and watched overnight for my family, friends, as well as friends of friends and family friends. I get along very well with most animals and love to be around them. I know their needs and what they can and cannot have. I am currently working full time, so I can do weekends and sometimes weekdays, mostly at anytime but we will always have a chat before hand. Also if you are needing/wanting a day that’s not on my availability just send me a message and I can double check my schedule and see if I can make time for you I cannot have pets over at my home due to my own pet but I am more then happy to look after your pets at your home and I can take care of any needs that your pet requires
“Vanessa was punctual and had awesome communication! She sent me update photos of our dog Grizzly on his walk and he is tuckered out now! Will definitely be booking with her again to take grizz for another adventure!🐾”

“Barbara has been wonderful with our puppy! We are so thankful to have her for walks and puppy playtime. She checks in on how our puppy is progressing with training so she can support whatever we are doing and keep things consistent for our puppy which is so important!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and started tending to stables at a young age, which gave me deep respect for all animals. I currently have a senior cat and have cared for pets of all ages, from young puppies to seniors, tailoring care to each pet’s unique needs. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and videos so they can see their pets happy and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule as I navigate life changes and schooling, allowing me to be highly available to care for pets throughout the week. I provide safe, trustworthy care in both my home and clients' homes. Pets enjoy a clean, secure environment, leash walks in my yard or forest trails, and respectful interaction with other animals. I can drive them to new walking spots, and a crate can be provided if needed, ensuring every pet feels happy, safe, and loved.
About: Hello! My name is Taylor (they, them pronouns). I am an experienced pet owner and pet sitter. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Large dogs, small dogs, medium sized dogs with a variety of needs and energy levels. I love walking and getting exercise and would love to take your dog with me! I can also do drop in visits for dogs and cats! Thank you :) I work from home and am in school so I can do morning or evenings on weekends and I can do weekends anytime of the day. I am very sure to follow any specific pets needs as I have had pets with a variety of needs and have also pet-sorted for pets with a variety of needs.
“Jason did an awesome job with our big dog. She was so excited to see him and came home very happy and well exercised after their walk. Our dog has some behavioural issues and so we are very picky about who we can trust her with. Definitely would have no reservations about having Jason care for her again.”

About: Note: I´m flexible and happy to travel (in BC/AB) - longer stays preferred. I can gladly provide excellent references from other Petsitting platforms (11 petsits) and Workaway (3 petsits). Feel free to reach out - I’d be happy to chat and share more! --------- I’ve had the chance to care for several homes and beloved pets in Canada since June 2025. It’s been an incredibly fulfilling experience so far, I have already worked with 10 workaway hosts on totally different projects, each stay was a unique experience. I take pride in being gentle, reliable, and tuned in to each animal’s unique personality. In September 2025, I spent an entire month volunteering at an animal farm sanctuary, where I learned a great deal about rescued animals and those with special needs. It was a deeply enriching experience that expanded my understanding of more than ten different farm animal species. I care deeply about treating every animal with respect and love, and I always take time to understand their unique personalities and needs. I´m a work and traveller from Germany, I finished my bachelors degree in business psychology in November 2025. I'm on the way to start my own remote business, so I´m very flexible about caring for your pets. As a traveling petsitter and workaway, I adapt quickly to new environments and routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping the house clean and cozy, I treat every place as if it were my own. I love creating a calm and loving environment for pets while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to help with extra tasks like watering plants or garden work. Only smoke & vapefree households.
About: Hi fellow dog lovers! I’m Olivia — a lifelong animal enthusiast with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From growing up helping neighbors with training to pet sitting for friends and family, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m currently training my own dog, Adonis, to become a service dog, and I’m on the path to becoming a certified dog trainer myself! Adonis is a sweet, playful companion who loves making new friends, and your pup will be in great company. I offer 24/7 supervision in a cozy, crate-free home (unless crating is your preference), with plenty of mental and physical enrichment. Your dog will enjoy daily walks, adventures on nearby trails, beach or lake visits, and lots of stimulation through play and exploration. With multiple cooling stations and AC to keep everyone comfortable, your fur baby will feel right at home — even welcome to snuggle up and sleep beside me! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion and would be honored to give them the care, love, and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m currently working part time. So I have 4 days out of the week that is centred around animals. I have my own dog that I take for daily walks and training sessions so your fur babies will get lots of play time and exercise. I keep my home clean and organized so my dog can’t reach anything he shouldn’t. My dog is very friendly and can keep your fur babies entertained. I have a crate if needed and I can send picture/ video updates if wanted.
“We’ve hired Ramesh several times to walk out our big dog Bernie. Ramesh is very trustworthy, always quick to respond and 100% reliable. We highly recommend Ramesh and Lauren.”

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.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with family dogs and cats and, until recently, shared my life with two incredible dogs of my own. I was a Rover client for years and always appreciated the peace of mind it brought me. I am now adjusting to the strange transition of not having dogs at home, I’m excited to give back and spend time with pups again. We live in a house with a fenced yard and a dog door that can be blocked or open. I love being outside and going for walks, and I especially enjoy building trust through positive reinforcement and trick training. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, particularly those who walk well on leash. I’m also a nurse, which gives me a strong comfort level with administering medications , whether it’s an easy pill pocket or a more challenging situation. I’ve had experience giving medications to both cooperative and more anxious dogs, and I always approach it with patience and gentleness. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some cuddles, or a bit of extra care, I’d love the chance to be there for them. I am a nurse with flexibility with my schedule. I have lots of free time during the day for dog walking and pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve whether it’s a mid-morning walk, afternoon playtime or all day company. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, quirks, and routines. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for and keeps their routine.
About: I have been an animal "mom" for more than 20 years. I started off with training and care of horses and ponies, which turned into my profession for a few years. During that time my first dog came into my life (she sadly passed this year after over 14 years of adventures). Ever since, I have been caring for dogs and horses and have an extensive amount of experience. It is most important to me that the animals feel safe and happy when with me. I am very skilled at training dogs with positive reinforcement techniques. I am happy to tailor my services to your needs and preferences. I am a grad student and I work from home most days of the week. Thus when I take clients on, I can give them 100% of my attention and care. Unless specifically discussed, I will not leave you pet alone at my home. I love taking the dogs on structured walks with basic positive reinforcement, and alternate that with play time in which your pets can express themselves freely. Our apartment is right on the dyke, with lovely opportunity to explore around the river and the beaches. I often drive to other parks and trails, so your pet gets every need met.
About: Hi! I’m Lyndsey, and I’d love to care for your pup like one of my own 🐾 I grew up with Labs and Retrievers and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities-from teacup Shorkies to pit bulls. Since moving to the Island in 2018, l've regularly dog-sat for friends and family, including pups who are anxious or reactive. This last winter I began offering my services to the general public. I'd be happy to chat, answer any FURther questions, and make sure we're a great fit. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the love and care they deserve! I work part time as an event paramedic. I'm looking to fill my free weeks assisting your busy schedule. I have a few appointments every week that require me to be out of the house for 1-3 hours. I live in a one bedroom suite with a shared fenced yard. I can only host one small dog in my home but comfortable house sitting for up to three dogs (and additional cats). While house sitting, pets are allowed in the bedroom/on bed if required. Will tailor care following your instructions.

Metchosin dog parents share their Rover experiences
“Kristin is an excellent dog walker. She’s a great communicator, always keeping me updated about my dog, Buster. She’s flexible with scheduling and very discreet, which I appreciate. Most importantly, Buster loves his walks with her—he comes back happy every time. Highly recommend Kristin for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog walker!”

This was sadly our last walk with Naomi as she’s returning back home. Naomi was great with Declan and I really enjoyed having her as a dog walker. She was always on time, kind and easy to talk to. Great with animals. All the best Naomi! Thank you for taking Declan on little adventures. :)
