About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, feeding twice to three times a day, taking them on walks and hikes. I often take care of my neighbors dogs i only work part time, and am trying to get into the gig of taking care of animals as love them and am trying to save for school! I have no school till 2025 September so im free all day for now! I have never and would never harmed an animal in my life, i am such an animal person and am very easily connected with any animals.
4. Rosanna S.
“Rosanna is an amazing pet caregiver! She took such wonderful care of our Chihuahua mix puppy, giving him lots of love, attention, and patience. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe, giving him plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and regular potty breaks. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care, and it was clear she truly loves animals. Her reliability, kindness, and gentle approach make her the perfect choice for any pet owner. I highly recommend Rosanna to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter!”

“100% would recommend Kayla. She has a very soft approach to animals. Doug loves every walk he has had with her yet. I am starting to notice Doug’s manors are becoming better and more consistent since we have started having Kayla walk Doug. We will continue using Kayla’s service, as always ❤️”

10. Alexandra S.
“You won't get a better dog sitter than Alexandra. She has been around dogs all her life and currently is a parent to a wonderful rescue dog named Loki. Alex has patience and love for all animals. I would trust Alex with my 2 Goldens anytime!”
11. Lucy S.
About: I grew up on a ranch in southern Alberta, caring for multiple litters of kitties and their mama’s, our 4 dogs (German shepherd, great dane, husky and an unknown breed). I’ve also cared for livestock and children, so I like to think I have a keen understanding of the delicate needs of living things! This is currently my only gig while in university! My schedule is flexible toward morning and afternoon care depending on the day, and I’m happy to work out a schedule around my classes/ extracurriculars that best suits your fur baby’s needs. I have not done any Rover pet-sitting ventures yet! (First time) But was engaged with my own animals when we had them. At least 1-2 walks per day for dogs if they can tolerate it, respect for feeding, cleaning and sleep schedules, as well as gentle redirection in any areas of discipline that may require special attention.
12. Courtney R.
“Courtney took our little guy for a long walk at the last minute. We were so grateful to have found her and Bobby I’m sure loved his walks too!”
13. Sara L.
“Sara- thank you so much for your time with Stanley. He was a happy pup and I was so happy to know he was having a good time and was well cared for. Sara was very professional, respectful, I would very highly recommend Sara.”
14. William W.
“Did a fabulous job caring for my cat while I was away for a couple nights! Was thorough and thoughtful when communicating and sent photos which was so sweet. Followed all instructions, I knew my cat was in good hands! Upon my return my cat didn’t even seem to notice I was gone! Thanks again!”
15. Teresa V.
“Teresa was great with our 2 year old Labradoodle and our 7 year old cat. She took the dog for walks, played fetch in the backyard with him and was good with handling him. Teresa fed both animals and gave them lots of cuddles. I would recommend her pet services to anyone.”
16. Kathryn S.
“Kathryn was on time and great with our dog and cats.”
17. Shauna S.
“Shauna took excellent care of our dog while we were away. It was my first time having someone other than family or friends taking my dog out for a walk and feeding her. Pea loved her!!! Shauna even sent a cute video of my girl playing with another puppy. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area. I'll be sure to recommend and use her again :) Thank you”
18. Brianna L.
“I have had the pleasure of entrusting Brianna with pet sitting for many years, and I can confidently say that she is a highly responsible and loving caregiver. Brianna not only shows love and respect towards the pets she cares for, but she also goes above and beyond by providing extra cuddles and attention. I would highly recommend Brianna for anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
19. Katrina E.
“Katrina is amazing with pets, my dog gets so excited to see her! I feel totally confident knowing she has so much experience working with animals. She's easy to communicate with and reliable too.”
20. Bronwynn C.
About: I moved to Vancouver island from Salt Spring Island 4 years ago. I have 5 + years in the veterinary field industry which helps me provide care if need be to your beloved fur family member. I spend all my free time exploring the beautiful outdoors or cuddling up and watching a movie with my pups. I know the area now very well and would love to take care of your beloved doggies and show them some beautiful adventures and once we finish that, curl up on the couch and end the day with a movie and cuddles! Continuously hiking or cuddling on the couch while watching a movie, they will get lots of cuddles and lots of outdoor activities. They’ll feel very at home💜 I have two well behaved fur babies who are always looking to make new friends and give your fur babies company! They love making new friends!
