“In my husband's words, "Robynn was great!", which is high praise from a guy whose dog is lived so much. I appreciated the daily reports while I was away and the fact Bobbi looked so happy on all of her walks. We will definitely call Robynn if services are needed 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.
About: I’m Dakoda, a Registered Veterinary Technician with 10 years of experience in emergency veterinary medicine. I continue to work in the veterinary field while offering personalized pet boarding and care as a side business for families who want an experienced, attentive caregiver for their pets. Because I work in emergency medicine, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs, including seniors, pets requiring medications, and those recovering from procedures. My veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or wellness and provide an added level of peace of mind while you’re away. Outside of my scheduled shifts at the clinic, I enjoy providing dogs with a calm, comfortable, and loving home environment. Each stay is tailored to your dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs, with plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and one-on-one care. My home comfortably accommodates up to two dogs at a time, from tiny pups to gentle giants over 100 pounds. Your dog will also have the company of my friendly 14-pound Maine Coon, Onyx. Since this is a small, side business, I intentionally keep availability limited so I can give each pet the individualized attention they deserve. If you’re looking for a sitter with professional veterinary experience who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to meet you both! Pet care is the absolute heartbeat of my daily routine, and I make sure it fits seamlessly into your pet’s life while they check into my staycation resort. I treat every single day as a top priority, ensuring feeding times, play breaks, and relaxation periods are completely locked in so your companion feels totally at home. When your pet checks into my home for their vacation, my main goal is to make them feel safe, cozy, and endlessly loved. I have created a quiet, fully supervised space designed specifically for their ultimate comfort and security, ensuring they get all the luxury and protection they deserve.
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.

About: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. For services at your home, I strictly follow your pet's regular routine, ensure your property is completely secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

“Sumiah was a tremendous help to us by walking our headstrong dog for five days. She is a delightful young woman, very responsible, punctual, confident and friendly. We would love to use her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 3 indoor cats and caring for my grandparents German Shepherds. I fostered many dogs and cats with my roommates in University, and worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 2+ years. I’ve rescued a senior dog from the SPCA (who since passed) and now have a 3.5yr Rottweiler. My schedule is extremely flexible and I can make myself available at anytime needed to provide care for your pets. A typical day with my dog consists morning potty, breakfast, long walk, indoor mental play time, supper, outside potty and more play time. It’s not uncommon to go for off-leash walks in a park. Another activity we enjoy is mental enrichment - either a mind game with treats or frozen kong. I have a condo in Westhills. There are many parks and trails nearby. I also have a SUV I use to take the dogs on adventures to the beach, hikes, etc. As for care in your home; I like to maintain whatever schedule you have!
“Trina was so wonderful! I knew I could trust her and did not feel an ounce of worry being away at school knowing she’d be taking my fur baby out for his first dog walker walk! She clearly knows what she’s doing and Bogus had a wonderful time! He cannot wait for his next walk!”

There are 844 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in North Saanich. About 84% of North Saanich sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in North Saanich. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in North Saanich after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in North Saanich with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
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.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Saanich choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
