“All the reviews are true, Tiana was fantastic and we felt our dog was well taken care off. We really appreciate the pictures and video updates throughout our trip. Thank you!”

“Heather was great about getting back to me in a timely manner for planning last minute, and sent lots of photos of my pup for me. It looked like Dolly had a great time there and appeared to be very comfortable when i arrived to pick her up, really appreciate the help and will be using Heather again in the future!”

“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”

“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!”

“We had a great experience boarding with Criofan, she is kind, caring, and wonderful with animals. Her home and beautiful fenced property are set up thoughtfully to provide a fun and safe environment with lots of fresh air and exercise. We really appreciated the great communication and photo updates. Our dog was well cared for and made some new best friends. Thanks again!”


About: 🐾 My Experience With Dogs I grew up with dogs and have always had a huge love for them. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I’m part of a family of five, and we all absolutely love dogs. Our home is a warm, welcoming place where your pup will get plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and, of course, lots of love. ❤️ I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home while you’re away. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them the individual care they need. Your dog won’t just be a guest in our home — they’ll be treated like part of the family. 🐶💕 🏡 About My Daily & Weekly Routine I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your dog. I’m home most of the day, which means your pup will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. Our family of five enjoys a relaxed, family-oriented lifestyle. We love getting outside for walks, spending time together, and of course, giving our furry guests lots of attention and cuddles! 🐶❤️ I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, including regular walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and rest. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet afternoon nap, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and routine. My weekly schedule is flexible, so I can provide plenty of one-on-one attention and make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re staying with us. 🐾 How I Care for Pets In our family, dogs are truly part of the family. We’re very comfortable having dogs around the house, and we treat them just like our own. Our dog is welcome on all of our furniture, including the couch, so your pup is welcome to snuggle up with us too! 🛋️🐶❤️ We also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, play, explore, and get fresh air without having to leave the property. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and rest. I’m also happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, and medication routines as needed. Since I’m a stay-at-home mom, I’m around most of the day and can give your dog plenty of companionship and supervision. My goal is simple: when your dog stays with us, I want them to feel like they’re having a little vacation with another family. 🐾💕
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”

“Kelsey is a great sitter, my Lucky is super happy to stay with her. Even after she often checks in with me about my dog. Seeing someone love a dog as much as she did is so lovely.”
“Rachel was fantastic! My dog had such a lovely time and I think it felt like a vacation for him. He enjoyed all the activities, and Rachel was thoughtful and provided amazing updates and communication throughout the time. This was our first time leaving our dog, and it was a very positive experience for all of us. Highly recommend her for any and all animal care needs.”

“What an amazing sitter. Megan helped make our wedding special by watching and bringing Bella to this special day. I would highly recommend her. My dog was so happy upon return!”

“We were first time Rover users and were a little nervous at the prospect of leaving our pup with someone who wasn’t family but Amy made us feel reassured and confident that she would be well taken care of. Amy invited us over for a quick hello prior to boarding our pooch. Right away it was evident that Amy is warm, good natured and caring. Additionally, her place is like a dog’s paradise - right on the lake with primo swimming and hiking! Amy sent us daily updates with pictures of them hiking, swimming and lounging around together. Communication with Amy was also a breeze! 5/5 big thanks Amy!!!”

“Kevin and Kayla were excellent in communication while our Yorkie was in their care for 10 days while we were on vacation. We got pictures of her and great communication when she had to have an unexpected vet visit that they took her too. Hope to have her back with them for next year's vacation. Highly recommended them !!”

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.
“Dawn was amazing with our doggie! She made sure she was comfortable and ok with everyone and all the other dogs, went above and beyond to make sure she was ok and we knew about how she was doing and loved our dog like it was her own. Would definitely recommend her and would definitely board Conchita with her again.”

About: I truly love animals and understand how important they are as part of the family. I currently have a cat and previously had a dog, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pet. I always treat animals with patience, attention, and kindness, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I currently work part-time with flexible hours, which gives me enough time to provide pets with attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also have my own cat, so caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily life. I understand how important consistency, patience, and a calm environment are for pets to feel safe and comfortable. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications if needed, and any special preferences their pet may have. I understand that every animal has a different personality, so I try to give them patience, attention, and a calm environment where they feel secure. I also keep spaces clean, safe, and pet-friendly at all times.
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”

“Amanda and her son were the best we could find for Simba when we want to vacation. My puppy had a blast and even missed them when he was back with us. Amanda kept in touch with us daily while we were away, giving us updates and sending us pictures. Amanda is highly recommended if you looking for a dog sitter.”

“Super grateful to Christie for taking great care of my shichon Zoey. Christie's shih tzu/Maltese, Jax, and Zoey became fast friends and I received regular updates. I will be rebook w Christie anytime I visit Ottawa again :)”

“Kaori was absolutely wonderful and loving with our dog. We were away 12 nights. She provided regular updates and our dog was very happy upon our return. We could tell he had a lot of fun with Kaori’s sweet little dog Mia. We would not hesitate to ask Kaori to watch our dog again!! ?”
“Michele looked after my sweet girl for a long weekend. She sent me pictures which I loved receiving and was a great communicator - quick to respond to messages and made me feel comfortable with updates on how my pup was settling in and getting along. Thankful she was available and would love to have her look after my girl again!”

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.
You and your North Saanich sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
