“So grateful that Shelley was available for me to fly out for my mom's funeral, I didn't have to worry about anything. It was our first time together, I'm sure kitties will see her again. She gave the "problem child" the extra attention he needed.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Connecting with Carys to provide care for our two cats was a great experience for us. We found her to be very communicative, kind and punctual. We really appreciated the pictures and updates that she sent us to let us know how things were going. We would highly recommend Carys for anybody looking for care for their animals.”
About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've had cats since I was three years old and have always had a love for animals. I'm now a dog owner after inheriting a dog that is heavily into dog sports, which has given me a good understanding of canine behaviour, training and enrichment. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including allergies and medication schedules. I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs, routines and personality. Pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I'm pretty flexible with my availability. When I'm not busy training or trailing with my own dog, or enjoying some quality cuddle time with my cat, I'm happy to spend time spoiling someone else's furry family members. Every pet is different, and I like to do things their way. Whether they love walks, playtime, cuddles or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll follow their lead and respect their individual personalities and boundaries. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable and feeling loved in their own home.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, giving me a genuine love and understanding of animals from an early age. My family bred Labrador Retrievers for more than 10 years, providing me with hands-on experience in caring for dogs at every stage of their lives. From raising and caring for puppies to feeding, walking, playing, and attending dog shows, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for the care, attention, and companionship dogs need to thrive. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, caring, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. I’m available 7 days a week, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering flexible dog walking and drop-in visits to fit your schedule. Whether your pup needs a refreshing walk, a little extra exercise, or some companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Drop-in visits can include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for your pup to safely play, explore, and get some extra exercise. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs, including crate time when requested and medication administration as needed. When we head out for field-trip walks or adventures, my vehicle is equipped with protective seat covers and secure doggy seatbelts to help keep your pup safe and comfortable while travelling. Whether your dog is enjoying some playtime in the yard, heading out for a walk, or simply relaxing in my care, I provide attentive, responsible, and loving supervision every step of the way.
“We left on a week trip and were lucky to find Megan. She was punctual great with communication and did everything we had asked plus more. Both our kitties were well fed and had clean boxes when we returned home. Would recommend and know who we will reach out to for our next trip.”
About: Dogs and cats have always been special to me, and your furry family members are safe in my care. Walks, feedings, and medicine applications are all in my repertoire. Braden is a kind, relaxed fellow who will plunk his laptop down to work while caring for your pets. He's a mortgage broker who has plenty of spare time between emails, so pet sitting fits right into his lifestyle. From brief check-ins to longer stays, he'll be there for your furry family members when they need him. The safety and well being of your pet(s) is of the utmost importance. As previously stated, the general practice is to set up a laptop work station on a kitchen table or desk to be nearby your beloved, furry family member(s). Any additional safety and care instructions are welcome.
About: Long time dog owner, I specialize in senior animals. I fully beleive in letting dogs sniff areas as much as they need, it's stimulating to them. I am self employed and living on Saturna Island. I live, work and travel with my best friend Raygan. We live off grid and raise our own meat birds, eggs and veggies. I do not provide in home care at my house. Need to meet minimum word requirements. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - North Saanich
I planned for only a daily visit for my 2 cats. Shelley staggered the visits - coming to the apartment at different hours. It worked well for my cats. I had boarded them previously and will avoid that option in future. They were much happier when I came home than when bringing them home from a cattery. And I will reach out to Shelley in the future.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
