“She is an amazing cat sitter! She kept us updated with details about Tom’s food, water, and litter box, and sent tons of adorable pictures. Tom is usually very selective about who he trusts, but she quickly earned his trust — we loved seeing photos of him cuddled up with her. We highly recommend her!”
“Maya house-sat for our two brand new rambunctious kittens and we couldn’t have felt more reassured that they were in the best hands. Knowing that they were being played with, loved on and cared for whilst we were away gave so much peace of mind. We really appreciated the photos and updates and would book Maya again in a heartbeat - couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our boys.”
“Richelle house sat our two cats for 2 and a half weeks, and did such a fantastic job!! She sent me lots of updates and pictures, and I think the cats got more play time with her staying there than they have with me! I was able to enjoy a stress free time away thanks to Richelle’s excellent communication. She also really took care of our house well, leaving it super clean for our return which I really appreciated! Would 100% hook with Richelle again!”
“Hayley was great! I've actually booked her again for another upcoming trip. I was really happy with her care for my kitties. One of my cats is on medication, and becomes very anxious and hides when he knows he's about to take it. I appreciated Hayley's determination in making sure he gets his meds! Thank you! She was always communicative and sent lots of photos/updates.”
“Holly did a great job caring for our two cats. They are fairly shy but warmed up to her fast! She was very good at communication and was attentive to all their needs. Thank you, Holly!”
About: I'm all about matching your pet's energy. Whether this means just hanging out in a warm sun patch for some scratches, heading to the park for some sniffs or going out for a full day hike, you can count me in. I grew up with both cats and dogs so I know first hand how important they are as members of the family. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit in walks, visits, or overnight stays most days of the week. I’m not usually available during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but with enough notice I can often make dog sitting during the week work. While I can't offer petting sitting in my own home, I do own a vehicle that allows me to easily get to yours or transport pets if needed. I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s needs, and I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. I'm happy to share as many updates and photos of your pet as you'd like throughout my visit.
About: Hi there! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 and I truly love all animals. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve cared for and trained my own pets — including two puppies and two amazing rescue dogs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, pace, and needs. I’m the go-to pet sitter for all my friends, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy level! Whether your pup loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or a little extra training time, I’m happy to help, just let me know… I’m a firm believer that you can teach an old dog new tricks! 🐶 While I have a bit less experience with cats, I absolutely adore them (and their quirky antics!). I’ve had my own cat for two years now — he thinks he’s a dog, and I’ve even taught him a few tricks! 🐯 I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. I am currently very flexible with pet care time lines. I walk my own dog daily and would be happy to have your fur baby join our daily routine! We do a few pee breaks per day and an hour long walk per day (sometimes more if energy is high). I live in a pet friendly apartment building and I use the green spaces around us to provide plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks! I love on or off-leash hikes in the woods, or visits to Dallas road. If your pet is good in the car we can definitely do more remote adventures!
“Ian was absolutely terrific with our three cats. He took fantastic care of them and of our house, and took tons of professional-quality photos of them to boot! We’re going to frame some of those photos in our house, and we’re definitely going to call Ian again for cat sitting.”
“Karyn exceeded all of our expectations while we were away for 10 days taking care of our two cats. She sent us daily updates and lots of photos every day keeping both of our minds at ease. We would highly recommend booking with Karyn, and will be booking her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Mari! I love all different types of dogs, energy levels and sizes. Having grown up with a chocolate lab that I trained from puppyhood, I'm comfortable with puppies and most types of training you might be working on (leash training, recall). I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and am happy to adjust my services to meet their energy levels, including runs for more active dogs. I have spent time at shelters working with dogs of all ages and needs, and have developed a great understanding of dog behaviour and care. Whether your dog needs a walk, run, or training support, I’m happy to provide it! I am working a flexible job and have time to work dog walking and care into my schedule quite consistently. I try to keep my Rover calendar as updated as possible, so that shows most of my availability. My top priority is safety for your furry friend! I ensure that your home is secure before each walk or visit. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, such as feeding routines or preferred walking routes, to maintain consistency for their pet.
“Melanie took great care of Luna, our 17 year old cat. She gave her a lot of TLC and sent many sweet photos to keep us updated. It was a relief to have Melanie stay with Luna while we were away. Highly recommend.”
“Ava was fantastic! She was so easy to book with and accommodating. Nala loved her, and it was clear Ava spent quality time with her. She kept us updated on how Nala was doing and sent some great pictures. Anyone would be lucky to hire Ava to take care of their pets; she deeply cares about animals, and our (grumpy senior cat) Nala can't wait to have her back. Thank you Ava!”
“Monet did an amazing job taking care of our two cats! She is very trustworthy, quick to respond, and sends lots of great photos. It was clear from the photos that she spent lots of time playing with them and swapping out toys. She even took the time to vacuum around the litter box. It’s clear she loves animals and is very responsible - we’d 100% recommend her!”
About: Always had dogs, always loved training them Now I am learning to train service dogs Have training certification. FUN IS goal, makes all the difference. Currently have plenty of time for dogs during the day with my schedule the way it is. I have one dog myself. A 2 year old standard poodle, he is very playful and has a lot of energy. I have e fenced , yard but my preference is to go for hikes or the beach or to lakes and trails Off leash parks also unless specifically asked not to. As well as 1 big hike walk we go for neighbourhood walks also.
About: Grew up with three very stubborn terriers that required lots of structure and enrichment. Helped my family take care of them through all ages, from puppy to senior, including special caare such as medications I generally am able to work remotely with internet access as I am a graduatae student at UVIC. I have to be on campus Thursday & Friday 8-4 but I am able to return home to take for walks or bring to campus if pets are comfortable with that. I strive to provide the best environment for your pet and will do everything possible to ensure their comfort. I am unable to take pets into my own home, but I can provide outdoor time or make their own space as familiar as possible.
“Outstanding just the best! Cynthia looked after our cats for 4 days. Our cats went to meet her right away when she came into the house for the meet and greet. They don't ever do that! We didn't worry at all when we were away. Cynthia sent us messages when she was on her way to our place, provided photos of the cats eating, and being petted. She then sent a message when she headed out. Cynthia is kind, reliable and a great communicator. Our cats were so calm and happy when we got home. Highly recommend Cynthia as sitter for any pet.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and had a Boston terrier. I know that if I ever had to leave her alone I would want her to be safe and make sure she would be well cared for. She was a senior dog, so I do have experience in that area, and will be a great caretaker for your pets!! Currently, I am a full time student in first year university. I have Atleast one class From Tuesday to Friday, but I am outside of the house for at most three hours during the day with classes. I live in a very nice apartment which has got some good play space in it. I don’t have a backyard but lots of places to walk around. And I do have transportation so I am able to take them to some good hiking spots.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds for many years. Friends, family members, and neighbours have always trusted me to walk, feed, and give lots of attention to their pets while they are away. I have trained my own dogs as puppies, and have lots of experience working with with reactive/medically complex dogs. I am currently a full time University student. This leaves me with lots of time in between classes and at the end of the day to spend time with your animals! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their home. I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I take extra care to ensure their environment remains clean and secure, and I’m experienced in administering medications for pets with medical needs. My goal is to provide attentive, trustworthy care so both pets and owners feel at ease while apart!
“Nabil took great care of my cats while I was out of town. He was very communicative with me about what they were up to, and even accommodated a schedule change I made last minute. Absolutely trust and book Nabil for your pets.”
