“Kimberly took really good care of my mocha for the day! I really appreciate that she agreed to watch Mocha even though it was a last minute booking. Communication was easy, drop off and pick up was too. She was very understanding of Mocha's challenges. Overall I highly recommend!”
“Woody was very comfortable staying with Alanna! Alanna sent us photos and a video during the day, reporting on his activity. She had an old pug so the two old guys kept each other and Alanna company all day. Alanna was very flexible and accommodating of the day care—I recommend her totally!”
“Jena has watched our puppy for the past few month and we have had an amazing experience! Our puppy is always overjoyed to see her and spend the day with her. She provides multiple updates throughout the day. Our puppy is also always tired when he gets home which does not happen often. Jena has also been a pleasure to deal with and she is very flexible when we’ve had to switch our days. I would highly recommend Jena!”
About: I have lifelong experience with pets, and somehow they always end up choosing me as their “favorite” person in the house. I genuinely understand their personalities and form deep connections with them. I can safely administer medication, give endless belly rubs to dogs, and I know all the classic favorite spots that make cats purr. I currently work full time from home and have a flexible schedule and a Friday off every two weeks and weekends are usually available as well. I live in a pet friendly condo with a fenced dog run area and easy access to Portage Park (pet friendly park). We own two very friendly pets, a dog and cat. Our dog has diabetes so we already do many potty breaks with him a day and administer insulin shots twice a day plus a mix of home made and prescribed food as well.
“really happy with the care my pups recieved. both are young and full of energy but came home tired amd happy. my youngest has seperation anxiety and always howls and cries when i return but she was pretty calm this time. i recieved pictures and grace even paid enough attention to notice harlow was a bit dehydrated and let me know. they were also able to book me in fairly last minute which i was greatful for. if i ever need a sitter in victoria again i will be contacting these folks first. :)”
“Stacey is great, she took a pretty short notice booking and has a great set up, nice fully fence back yard. She is obviously experienced with dogs, Luna took to her right away and instantly went to play with some toys she had for her even brought one to show me when I picked her up. Would definitely book with Stacey again”
About: I had a large dog for 12 plus years. I love how active and different all dogs are. Their fun personality speaks volumes about each breed! I have a very flexible work day. I also work a 5 minute walk from home so it is easy to check in with pets. I'm off on weekends and early on Fridays for outdoor adventures. I have a fenced yard for day time play. I live I'm a beautiful walkable neighborhood for more adventures. There are no Pets here to make your pet feel more comfortable
“Andrea took such good care of my girl Piper. Piper can be quite anxious (and as a result I get anxious to leave her with anyone!) and Andrea was so understanding and patient with her. She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”
“Olivia was an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of Bullet and kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her puppy Adonis was the perfect companion for Bullet — they had an absolute blast together! It’s clear Olivia truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Bianca was great with our little guy Bruno, she was very accommodating when we had some issues with our building and had to change the schedule. She is responsive and we will not hesitate to bring our dog to her care next time we require it.”
“Jules and Cody were amazing caregivers to Poppy. They had great communication and were accommodating. They seemed to love dogs and took our dog on many trail walks. Can’t wait to use their services again.”
“Shravistha and her husband were very warm and welcoming from the moment I dropped off my puppy. I explained that this was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and they were both very understanding, patient, and caring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was safe and comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. My puppy received lots of attention, affection, and excellent care. I truly appreciated the regular updates and communication. I highly recommend Shravistha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! 🐾❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Metchosin on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 278 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Metchosin. About 87% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Metchosin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
