âDarcie is an incredibly kind and caring young lady. She treated our timid pup with all the gentleness we could hope for! She had our wee girlâs tail wagging in no time! They went for a forest walk and played puppy games both outside and in the house. She thoughtfully sent us an update with a picture so we would know Sophie was doing okay while we were away. It was such a pleasure to meet Darcie - I know we will be asking her to watch our pup again!â

âPat was absolutely the best sitter we could have chosen for our little guy! She was super at communicating and sending us pictures. She left our home neat and tidy and we would love to have her back next time we are away! We highly recommend!â

About: Hi, Iâm Molly! Iâve been passionate about all animals since a very young age. I worked/volunteered with a therapy dog program while completing my degree, which gave me great insights into canine social cues, and worked for a local vet clinic for about a year out of university. For the last couple of years I have been working with wildlife, but regularly petsit for friends and neighbours. My experience is primarily with cats and dogs however I am open to caring for other species as well! I have experience with dog breeds both big and small, and am used to many temperaments. I have considerable experience with senior animals and own a timid, senior pup with various medical conditions myself. Iâm working very casually at the moment so my schedule is very flexible. I currently have lots of availability to care for your furry friend! I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust taking care of your animals. Your pet is a member of your family and their safety and comfort is my top priority.
âNicole did a great job taking care of our dog and 2 cats over Christmas. She sent photos all the time and our boys were very happy. Our one cat does not really like many people and is uncomfortable around visitors but warmed up to Nicole very quickly and she let him have his space so he could get comfortable. Thank you Nicole!â

âChantal was wonderful. My pups were well cared for and my home was spotless when I returned. Chantal took the time to set the routine with the dogs and I could tell she understood their needs and quirks and made sure they were comfortable. I would absolutely have Chantal back again!â


âAly was great at taking care of my two small dogs. I had a conference in Vancouver so I was out for two days. Not only was she great at letting me know the status of my dogs, pictures videos and proper communication, but she also kept the house super clean and when I came back, things were cleaner than before! Hats off to an amazing service experience by Aly. I recommend her 100%.â

âJason was awesome with our cat and dog. They took to him right away. We came home to a happy, well-regulated dog (she gets thrown off balance pretty easily so this was a sign to me that Jay took good, consistent care with her). The house was also spotless. Weâll definitely be calling Jay again!â

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 thatâs 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
About: I have a lot of experience with animals and have owned a variety of dog breeds! I love them all and would love the opportunity to meet and spend time with as many as I can. I pride myself in working hard to do any job to the best of my ability. If given the opportunity I will do my best to provide your dog with whatever they need/ want. Iâm currently between jobs and looking to enjoy the island and explore. I will have a lot of free time so my schedule will be wide open to walk any dogs that may need it! I believe structure and routine are two of the most important things for a dog. I would ask owners what their training/walking routine may look like and do my best to replicate that to help provide as much consistency to the dog. To also help eleviate any stress associated with a new person coming into their life.
About: Since I can remember Iâve had such a love for animals and their beautiful personalities and energy. Since approximately 12 years of age Iâve cared for and raised dogs. My husband and I have had two wonderful companions for 16-18 years who are sadly no longer with us. We continue to want to have animals in our life and help where we can. We have experience with puppies , middle aged, and senior pups and love all the stages that each age ranges bring. With family member we understand the utmost care and trust is needed. When we had our two dogs our lives definitely revolved around the both of them. Whether it be walking, feeding, playing and medications - they always came first. They were family. Our home consists of 2.5 floors. We have hardwood and carpets (runners) available for dogs who have traction issues. We can carry dogs that weigh up to 20 Ibs up and down if needed if they are older and also utilize baby gates. Water is available up and down and we also have AC.
About: Hi! Iâm Lyndsey, and Iâd love to care for your pup like one of my own đž 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.

While house sitting, pets are allowed in the bedroom/on bed if required. Will tailor care following your instructions.
âDom was fantastic! She took excellent care of our pets while we were away and even went above and beyond by helping out with a couple household requests as well. Very good communicator, and very reliable. Will be happy to use her again or recommend her to others!â

Metchosin pet parents share their Rover experiences
Trina stayed in our home with our two large senior dogs for a week over the winter holidays - communication was excellent, we got lots of photos and videos and she left our place very clean. The dogs were well taken care of and we were able to travel stress free. We will definitely reach out again in the future :) Thanks Trina!
Amy is incredible. Our doggie truly feels like he is on his own vacation whenever he stays with her. We have complete peace of mind knowing he is in such capable hands, and we always look forward to the frequent photo updates she sends. We cannot recommend her services enough!

Daytona is the most amazing pet sitter I have ever had! She treats both of the dogs like her own and they absolutely adore when she stays with them. I always have peace of mind leaving town when I know that they are in her excellent capable caring hands. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is looking for a top-notch pet sitter and HOUSE SITTER.

We were so lucky to find Kristin when our previous sitter cancelled last minute for our 2 week vacation. Kristin stayed in our house to look after our 2-yr old dog and 5-yr old cat. She kept great care of the pets, and our house was tidy when we returned home. We would definitely use Kristin again and can't thank her enough for accepting our booking last minute.
