“Walter is in Love! He was so happy with the care and walks he got. And how comforting Sky was to his injured paw. He is looking forward to their week together.”

“Susanne cared for Sammy for seven days on short notice, and was fantastic. Susanne was super responsive, right on time for the meet and greet, and so kind and attentive with Sammy’s extra medical needs. Sammy clearly adored her, and coming home to a spotless, tidy place was such a gift after a long day of traveling. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Susanne, for taking such good care of Sammy.”

“I can’t say how grateful I am for having met Seoyeong! After over 3 years without taking vacations together, my husband and I were really nervous and unsure about leaving our Nina with someone we didn’t know, and the best review was actually seeing how rested and relaxed Nina was when we finally got back home. Our dog was happy to see us, of course, but there was no anxiety, no signs of stress at all, and that is the best review I can think of. Seoyeong was so patient with us throughout the entire process… That was our first time using Rover, and we had a lot of questions and all the uncertainties that come with leaving our baby with someone new. Seoyeong was patient with our questions and accommodating to our needs. That gave us the confidence we needed to enjoy a wonderful vacation time! I can’t thank her enough for that!! She kept track of Nina’s food, exercise routine, and supplements… Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, the apartment was nice and tidy when we got back. Nina was in great shape, happy and relaxed, and that says it all! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Nina asked me to tell you she is missing you already.🐾”

“Sara was so wonderful! She was so kind to our pups, gave us lots of sweet little updates and left everything in our home so clean. If you’re looking for someone reliable to stay and with your pet look no further!”

Mackenzie B.

“Cameron has stayed with my dog multiple times now and has been great everytime. She's a true German Shepherd and has a hard time with new people. She's also 100 pounds so not just anyone can watch her. Our house has been left clean every time. would definitely recommend him!”

“Korina is a very caring and responsible individual. She is amazing with my two dogs! I highly recommend her services!”

“Lori is a kind and considerate person who took care of my precious furry boys (dog and a cat) for a four days, in my own home. The boys were spoiled and happy and the house just was as I left it when I returned. I would absolutely have Lori back anytime I have a pet sitting need!”

“Sumiah was fantastic. She took care of our house, dog and cat and kept us worry-free during the entire duration. She was especially accommodating when we had flight delays and that's extremely appreciated. I couldn't recommend her more!”

Cory L.

“Tiana was a great sitter, and I would definitely recommend her to others.  Her communication, availability, and flexibility as we made plans for her to stay at my house was SO kind, and for that alone I am so grateful!! But she did a great job taking care of my kitty, and I was happy to not have to worry about her while I was gone for multiple weeks. Tiana also went out of her way to be very respectful of my home while she was staying there. She clearly put thought and effort into making sure things were nice, clean, and set up for me when I arrived home. I can't tell you how good it felt to come home after a long trip to my space and cat being so well taken care of <3 I definitely want her to catsit again for me next time.”

About: I have been looking after dogs (and many other animals including cats and horses) for 15+ years as favours to friends and family, so I have a massive love for all furry creatures! I have grown up with dogs and can detect body language changes, and know how to defuse situations if they do escalate. I have worked with dogs who are other-dog reactive, and know how to cater our walks to suit their needs without additional stress. Whether you are looking to have you pup join Atlas and I at our enclosed acreage, or would like me to simply drop in to visit and break up your pup's day with a play in the yard, I'm happy to do it all. Currently on a very open schedule due to the nature of casual work, and am looking to continue building up my experience here on Rover! :) I am a casually employed person, so have multiple weeks of time off in which I can dedicate to pet-sitting! Whether you're looking for just a few days, or something more extended, I can accommodate both needs. I have a fully enclosed rural acreage with automatic button-controlled gates, and reinforced wiring along the bottom two panels of fencing. We live on a quiet street with a few school children that commute in the morning/afternoon, but otherwise, not very busy. A lovely, safe, interesting space for them to explore and enjoy.

“Selina was a very professional, mature, reliable sitter for our indoor cat Jelly Bean. We recieved some photos and excellent communications before, during and after her stay in our home. Our house was left very clean and our plants maintained well and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”

“Reed was incredibly self-sufficient, responsible, and organized. From the first moment, I felt at ease even being out of the country and occasionally out of contact. Highly recommend.”

“Brooke & Brenden did an incredible job for us. They looked after our dog and our house for two weeks. They were very communicative, punctual and absolutely great with our 70 pound dog Charlie. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Charlie was getting all the care, love and attention she needed. Charlie is a sweet but reactive dog that requires some special attention while walking and greeting strangers. Our instructions were followed very closely by Brooke and Brenden and Charlie seems very relaxed after their stay. They also left the house extremely clean and well tended. We highly recommend these two wonderful people and look forward to booking them for our next trip away !”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me since I was a kid, and I’ve owned my own dogs since 2020. I’ve taken positive reinforcement puppy training courses as well as reactivity specific lessons, so I’m comfortable reading early warning signs in anxious or reactive dogs and know how to de-escalate rather than just react. I’m also experienced handling big, strong dogs confidently and safely on leash. Before having my own, I dog sat regularly for friends, so I’ve got a solid range of temperaments and routines under my belt. I work from home running my own business, which means I’m around during the day most weekdays and have flexible availability for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I can work around specific feeding or walk times rather than squeezing visits into a rigid window. While house sitting, I treat your home like a guest would; respecting your space, sticking to your pet’s normal routine, and keeping things exactly as I found them. For drop-ins and walks, I’m attentive to leash safety, comfortable handling multiple pets, and quick to notice if something seems off with appetite, energy, or behavior. I’m also comfortable with reptile care basics like enclosure checks and feeding schedules, if that’s ever relevant

About: Experienced cat, dog and snake sitter! I have experience with difference temperaments so shy, anxious, or high energy are no issue at all (: I’ve cared for animals with health issues including preparing and giving medications, and helping with post surgical care. I grew up with cats, dogs, lizards, and rodents and absolutely love animals! Being away at university I don’t get to spend much time with pets, but I always jump at the opportunity to pet sit for friends! I love photography as well and I’m happy to bring my camera to take some quality pics of your pets for you (: I’m currently a part time UVic student with lots of spare time to hang out with your pets! Happy to drop in or do a walk before and after my classes! I currently am not able to board animals at home, but I’m happy to do house sitting and drop in services for you and your pets (:

“Sierra took great care of our two cats and dog, had very good communications with us, and left our house in a clean and tidy state. Would definitely use her again for pet & house sitting.”

“Michaella was amazing with Dunkin. I had a last minute change of plans and she was very flexible and still able to accommodate everything! She sent lots of pictures and Dunkin had the best time. Would love to book with her again soon!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked with horses for five years and have spent the last three years working with and around dogs. I also raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, who is now a government-certified service dog. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine through walks, enrichment, training, and personalized care. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and giving every pet individual attention. I provide attentive, personalized care in every home. With parks, trails, and Beacon Hill nearby, pets enjoy safe walks, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection.

“Victoria was very sweet and loving to my penny. Was so nice to be able to leave her at home in good hands. Victoria was communicative and provided updates and pictures along the way and prompt with responses and smoothly organized arrival departure times. Would definitely book again and recommend.”
