“Tiana was excellent with Finn! He had so much fun with her dogs and she has a great outdoor space for them to play and run around! She was constantly updating us with photos which made us feel great about being away as we knew he was so well taken care of! Will definitely use her again and Finn will be so excited to return 😁”
“We are very impressed with the care that Heather provided for our boy Duncan. Our dog is on a lot of different medications given at different times of the day and the schedule was followed to a T. Will be keeping Heather in mind for the future. Thanks for treating our boy like the Prince he is!”
“Sheila is excellent! I cannot recommend her enough. I’m always hesitant to leave my dog because of his separation anxiety but Sheila put me at ease as soon as we met. She tailored her days to make sure Opie was with her at all times and even took him to dog-friendly places around town. Opie had such a great time, he’s been trying to walk back to her house since we’ve been back!”
“Absolutely cannot recommend Criofan enough. Her and her partner made an amazing home away from home for our pup. He has a forever best friend with her sweet pup Albert and was so well taken care of. Perfect experience for us”
“Kelsey was super communicative with us and great with our dog despite his puppy nature and silly quirks! It is evident she really enjoys having dogs around and we appreciate her!”
About: I’ve been training puppies, caring for senior dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, I’ve owned/raised dogs big & small since I was born. Focused on safety and happiness. My house is their house. I’m currently available full time and available to care for dogs full time. Can host at my home or go to you. I do have a dog myself. I can leave her with her grandparents if you prefer me staying with your dog in your home❤️ I have a fenced dog run and a yard where I can hook dogs up on a line. Beach and forest walks steps away or cuddles at home I can crate a dog or happily let them sleep on furniture/beds.
“Phenomenal experience. Prompt responses, amazing communication, my pup absolutely adored her and was exhausted once I brought her home. Highly recommend and will be using again”
“Huxley had a great time at Andrea's. Andrea doesn't over treat which in Huxley's case very good. Daily walks morning, afternoon and evening. The pictured shoed Huxley resting and laid back. I know he was well looked after to him Andrea's home felt like home.”
“I am so happy I found Sue. It was my puppy’s first time away overnight and I was nervous and feeling guilty. Sue is such a lovely person and loves dogs. She cared so well for Charlie and loved him up while we were away. She sent me photos and updates while we were gone and a video montage of his time after the stay! I am sooooooo happy i found Sue and have already rebooked her for 9 days in April. I will have no hesitation leaving Charlie for his own mini holiday this time!”
“Miru had a great time staying with Bianca! She went on hikes and had lots of fun playing with the other dogs Bianca was taking care of. It was clear she was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates. We would definitely book again.”
About: We’ve always had dogs and currently have three rescue pups of our own. Over the years we’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from confident social butterflies to dogs that need a little more time to warm up. We know every dog is different and do our best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re with us. One of us works from home during the week, and we’re both around most weekends. That means lots of company, potty breaks, outdoor time, play, and cuddles throughout the day. We live on a fully fenced half-acre property with plenty of space to run, play, sniff, and explore. Our home is kennel-free, and dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable wherever they like. We treat every dog as if they were our own. We are certified in Level 1 Dog CPR and First Aid, and all dogs staying with us must be current on their vaccinations to help ensure a safe environment for everyone.
“Another fantastic stay at our dogs home away from home! I can’t say enough lovely things about Rachel. Zeus loves being with her, spending time with the other animals and helping out around her place! Was so lovely to see him on a pack walk with other dogs being a part of an adventure. Fantastic animal person.”
“Dakoda was wonderful with Ella, sent great photos and Ella was always happy in them. Good communication, prompt responses and very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Thank you again for taking such great care of Ella”
“Vicki took a good care of our 11 year old dog Fitz. The place is beautiful and the fenced back yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy. Fitz came back home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend. Thank you Vicki!”

I grew up with my parents owning a doggy daycare and learned everything from a young age about dogs, dog training, petsitting and dogwalking. I do private walks and group walks.

I practice fear free training with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I am available 6 days a week, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sundays, from 9 am to 5 pm.

I do daily dog walking from 9 am to 5 pm, including drop in visits for playtime, potty breaks, or walk & trains
“Karheek and their family took wonderful care of our Border Collie, Sophie. They gave her lots of attention and exercise, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was so well cared for while we were away. We would highly recommend them to any dog owner, and will certainly call on them again when needed. Sophie’s new extended family in Victoria.”
“Linda was amazing. Her boarding operation is clean and organized. She looked after our three Schnauzers for a week, and they all came home healthy and happy. Linda made an extra effort to work with our youngest Schnauzer who is anxious and had never been boarded before… we were so grateful for her patience with him. I would not hesitate to recommend Linda for boarding services and I hope she will have our three back again next time!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Saanich
Our dog Poppy was so happy with Maryanne and her family (including Max, their sweet dog!) we could see it in all of the pictures they sent and how she acted when we picked her up after 2.5 weeks. Maryanne responded promptly when we checked in from time to time, sending pics and updates, which we were grateful for. You can tell they love dogs and have tons of experience with them. Poppy was in good hands and we trust them and will definitely book them again. Thanks guys!
Heather was awesome! Easy to communicate with and booking was smooth. Our dog is a little timid at first but Heather handled it well and sent us updates. Pam settled in and enjoyed the soft blankets on her couch, fenced-in backyard and going for walks in Sidney by the Sea. It's such peace of mind to know your dog is being cared for while you're away. We will definitely use Heather again!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Saanich home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your North Saanich
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 82% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
