“Our dog Nala LOVED her day at Tiana’s place. We are currently driving back to our Airbnb and she’s already passed out. Tiana was able to accommodate us last minute, and when we arrived, she showed us her huge fenced yard and introduced us to her two friendly dogs. While watching Nala, she sent photos/videos and took her on a good walk. Thank you so much. We hope to book Tiana again the next time we’re in Victoria / this neighbourhood - would highly recommend”
“Our pup immediately settled with Criofan and had a happy calm day. We’ve booked her in for a 7 day stay soon and this experience means I am confident she will be very well looked after. But with the field to run in, the AC and the cuddles… will she want to come home?🤣”
“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”
“Tippy loved his stay with Heather. He's an active puppy and she was so good and patient with him. We appreciated the updates and pictures showing Tippy looking completely contented in her beautiful home and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. Thanks Heather and we will definitely be using your services again.”
“Andrea took such good care of my girl Piper. Piper can be quite anxious (and as a result I get anxious to leave her with anyone!) and Andrea was so understanding and patient with her. She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I’d love to make your travel easier by caring for your beloved fur babies while you are away from home. I work from home and can rearrange my schedule during the day to stop in and take your pets out for potty breaks or a quick walk or cuddles. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so if your pets overnight here, they will have my full attention. I live in Sidney very close to walking paths and parks for walks and playtime.
“Bianca was wonderful! She had great communication and sent regular photo updates, which we really appreciated. My dog is very shy and timid, but Bianca did an amazing job and made her feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Vicki helped me out on short notice and even let me come by the night before to ensure my dog would get along ok with her two cocker spaniels. Really close to UVIC so it was easy for me to drop off my pup and get to class. Thanks Vicki!”
“I can’t say enough about how great Rachel is. I highly recommend her. My dog Kai loved spending time with with her and be a farm dog for two days. If you need a dog daycare please use Rachel, she’s fabulous”
About: We are Brenden and Brooke. For the past 4 years we have been travelling and professionally stewarding properties around the world. We are commonly contracted with ranches, hobby farms, homesteads and household - some of which hold more than animal/dependant responsibility due to business operations running on the property. Over the years we have developed our service quality and specialized care as a professional couple. While traveling we organize volunteer experiences that increase our skills and knowledge in order to fulfill hosts and their animal's needs. This fuels our travels and we want to bring this lifestyle to Vancouver island as we network around the area. We pour our time an energy to the animals we are caring for, meaning we will be with them as much as possible over the course of our stay. We have lived in 10+ households with animals, with some experiences being up to 2 months. We will care for your animals as you would. We are able to carefully follow complex instructions. A bonus is that we are very active people, and if you would like your animals to get exercise, we are all about it.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for 4 cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of different pets. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I also offer boarding in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where your pets will get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work part time for myself from home, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to stay on top of feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 5 acres of space for dogs to explore and play, along with a fenced play area for safe outdoor time. I also have a friendly 2 year old lab to keep your dog company. I’m able to crate dogs if needed, depending on their routine, to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
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.
“Linda provided amazing care for my dog! Super helpful to deal with, accommodated my busy schedule, and my dog came back happy! Thank you so much for looking after my precious pup. I feel lucky to have found you, and will definitely be back again:)”
“Kathryn is a true animal lover through and through. I could not have asked for better for my older dog. I was stocked to have my dog to spend the day with her family. She did tons of nature walks! I would recommend her.”
“Amy is magnificent! I was a bit hesitant to put in a review as I want her available for my mutt! ;-) She is very calm and zen, loving, open and warm which was evidenced by our first meet and greet where she got on the floor and my girl just cuddled into her arms. She sent photos and updates without me asking and was flexible with last minute changes keeping Lily overnight. It is my Lily (the white French Bull Dog) that you will see on her sitter profile, and you can see for yourself how wonderful Amy is.”
About: I am so excited to meet and welcome your fur baby in our home and give them the love and care they need for every second they're with us! I have over 15 years of experience in dog and animal care with experience in puppy training as well. We love taking walks on our km of trails just beyond our backyard and a 10 minute walk to the ocean! We have a great outdoor space with a spacious home to stay warm inside. We can't wait to meet your fur family and share our cozy and clean oasis! I have plenty of time so share my day with your dog! I am available for weekday and weekend walks and can babysit and board on week days/weekends and over the holidays! I live in a very safe and clean neighbourhood. I have a partial fenced in backyard with lots of privacy and we are able to leash your sweet pups in our backyard. I have two children who are animal/dog lovers who are very comfortable with animals. I have a lower full walk out suite where our visiting pups stay! My home also doesn't require stairs if we've got a pup who has trouble. I am good with crate or uncrated pups and can trust your pup will not be without love and cuddles during their time here! Treats are included (with permission :)).
“This was my puppy’s first time being cared for and she had a great time! April is so lovely and warm, her home is perfectly set up and Stella is a great big sister companion. Winnie had the care and attention she needed and will be heading back again soon!”
“I can’t thank Robin, Luc and their daughter enough for taking care of my girl. They treated her like she was theirs. They texted and send me photos every day she was with them. They were open with communication and told me all about their day with my girl. My pup is sensitive to new people, and she loved them. I would and will 100% take my girl back them. Thanks for all the love and care for my girl, in a time when I didn’t think I could trust anyone with her, I found you guys.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Saanich
We were in Victoria on short notice and needed someone to look after our dog, Balu, after our plans changed unexpectedly. From the moment we reached out, you were incredibly accommodating and made the whole process completely stress-free. It was clear that Balu was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and the genuine attention you gave him throughout the day. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to enjoy our plans without worrying. Thank you for being so kind, reliable, and flexible, especially with a last-minute booking. We truly appreciate everything you did for Balu and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We’d happily book with you again if we’re ever back in Victoria!
Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.
Sheila took such excellent care of our senior Westie who requires extra attention because of his age. She kept us well informed all day long about how our boy was doing. She spoiled him with attention and lots of short walks. We are deeply grateful for her caring and professional service and look forward to having our dog visit Sheila again.
Paul has such a calm and kind personality and although our pup is quite anxious, it didn't take Paul much time at all to get Milo all settled and comfortable. Paul send photos of Milo and it was a great experience! I would highly recommend Paul and we would definitely use him again in the future! Thanks again, Paul!
Tiana is the best dog sitter I have ever known. On Rover, or anywhere! Recent events had us looking for a temporary sitter for our almost one year old Katie. There's always the stress of leaving her win someone new. I'm a courier so my days are always different, and I was in communication with Tiana the entire time - she always replied right away. Not only that, but I was distracted all day from all the photos she sent me! When Katie spends her days at Tiana's she's also with Paisley and Casey, going for daily walks to the beach, hanging out in the beautiful yard with the apple trees, or inside in the big house. Our time of needing someone new to watch Katie is up but we're going to make sure she still gets to visit with Tiana, Casey, and Paisley (we hope) a couple times a month.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Saanich on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 301 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your North Saanich commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 .
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
