“Maryanne and her husband took very good care of my young energetic dog Twinkle, an Irish Water Spaniel. My dog was with them for more than 3 weeks and when she came back home she was relaxed and totally herself. Maryanne was extremely responsive to my communication which made the transaction easy and my vacation stress-free. The cherry on top of the cake: 2 days prior to leaving, Twinkle started her period. I was afraid they would not take her but they were up for the challenge. Its a lot of additional care and hassle so I told Maryanne I would compensate her for the extra work it would give her : she requested a reasonable amount for compensation. I received a couple of photos during our trip and they highlighted Twinkle second birthday party with extra treats and a birthday hat. Maryanne is for sure staying on my contact list of trusted dog sitter.”
“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“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!”
“Joanne and Adam took great care of my dog Rufus. He loved lying in their grassy fenced yard and got lots of tummy rubs and affection. He loves playing fetch in the dog park so they took him several times during his stay. I appreciated their flexibility in letting me drop him off early in order to easily make my flight. I would be happy to have them care for Rufus anytime.”
“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”
“My husky was so well taken care of by Kelsey and her family! She came back to me happy and tired 🥰 Kelsey was so good about sending pictures and updates too, which I loved. Will definitely be dropping aloo off again when I return to Victoria”
“Our dogs love their holidays with Bill and Gerie. It is always such relief to spend time on holiday without worrying about your fur babies. We are repeat customers who thoroughly recommend Bill and Gerie.”
“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”
“Very happy with the sleepover, will recommend! I had been worried due to my boy being bigger at 70lbs but we had a good greet and meet. Thank you for a wonderful stay”
“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!”
“This is the second time boarding with Monica and the second five star review! I can't say enough great things about her care for my large pup, Hank always enjoys his time there, she sends lots of updates and pictures and he comes home happy and tired. Thank you Monica!”
“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”
“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.”
“This was our second time booking with Bianca and it was another great experience. Our dog was well cared for, we got regular updates, and it was clear she was comfortable and happy. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“She did such an amazing job looking after Lugnut. He’s a big, sensitive dog with some extra needs, so leaving him with someone isn’t always easy for us — but she made the whole experience feel calm and comfortable. She sent photos, kept us updated, and genuinely made me feel like I could relax knowing he was in good hands. Lugnut was clearly cared for, understood, and treated with kindness. We’re so thankful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets.”
“First time using Kelsey service for our little boy and I will ask her again anytime. Our dog was so happy when we came back to pick him up , we can tell he had a good time with Kelsey and her husband and also made a new friend with there dog :) thanks you so much”
“Both Finn and I feel very fortunate to have found Kevin and Kayla. Finn instantly took to them and that is not usual for him. He thinks they're great and I concur!”
“Ada and her husband Nick are amazing, they cared for my cat while I was away. They are extremely responsive and took wonderful care of her. The pictures they sent were beautiful and showed how relaxed Zazu was staying with them.”

We will definitely use Heather again!
Bagel came home happy and seemed to have a great time. She seemed very relaxed, spending plenty of time outside enjoying the weather, and hanging out with her new bestie Max! Good communication by Maryann while we were away, and we were grateful for the photos as well. Would for sure book 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
- 83% 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.
