“Kelsey was super communicative with us and great with our dog despite his puppy nature and silly quirks! It is evident she really enjoys having dogs around and we appreciate her!”
“Huxley had a great time at Andrea's. Andrea doesn't over treat which in Huxley's case very good. Daily walks morning, afternoon and evening. The pictured shoed Huxley resting and laid back. I know he was well looked after to him Andrea's home felt like home.”
“Vicki took a good care of our 11 year old dog Fitz. The place is beautiful and the fenced back yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy. Fitz came back home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend. Thank you Vicki!”
“Daisy and her family looked after our little rascal Toby and he had a wonderful time. He is still wandering around looking for Nina and Sonia! A lovely family home very amenable to dogs - Toby had lots of good walks, play time and cuddles. Perfect in every way 🐶”
“Miru had a great time staying with Bianca! She went on hikes and had lots of fun playing with the other dogs Bianca was taking care of. It was clear she was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates. We would definitely book again.”
“Even though my dog caused them a lot of trouble, Kevin&Kayla still loved my dog until the end. I'm grateful to them. They are very nice people. If they would allow me, I would like to ask them again.”
“Bruiser’s regular sitter was booked, so this was his first time with a new sitter — and Michaela was absolutely wonderful! She was so caring and thoughtful, proactively asking about his meds and food to make sure everything was just right. She kept me updated throughout and sent lots of great pictures, which really put me at ease. Bruiser was clearly in loving hands, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.”
“Alisa was great! We felt out dog was very well cared for and looked like he had a great time, fron the photos that were shared. We recommend Alisa and she would be our first thought when needing someone to care for our dog in the future.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Shravistha is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“It was my dog’s first stay away from home and we were both a bit nervous. Marlisa has a calm and gentle manner and a lovely older dog so my dog gradually settled in. I’m pleased with the care and attention she received from Marlisa.”
“Dani was wonderful, Peaches felt instantly comfortable with them, communication was super easy & helpful, next time we’re in Victoria, Peaches will be very excited to stay with Dani again!”
“Our dog Ruby had such a great stay with Lauren! Ruby is an older pup and has developed doggie dementia, blindness and some hearing loss… all wrapped up with chihuahua temperament. Needless to say, it’s hard finding someone we can trust to care for Ruby as we do. Lauren hit all the marks! She was so gentle and considerate to Ruby’s quirks, and was so communicative with us while we were away. It made us feel very confident that Ruby was being well cared for while we were gone. 100% recommend Lauren for dog boarding, especially if you’ve got an older pup with extra needs!”
“Gus had the most amazing week! Lots of updates, I always knew how he was doing and didn’t feel the need to check in more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! You will not be disappointed choosing Anqian and Alexandre!!!”
“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!”
“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”
“Our first time with Christy! We will definitely be back! She is so kind and caring and her little dog Luna is a sweetheart. My dog got along with both of them really well! :)”
“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!! ?”
“Brady has been to Iris’s many times and enjoys going there. He gets plenty of walks and attention. She is also good about adjusting pick up times if travel arrangements change.”
“Chris and Amy and the whole family are so great! Cedar was so well cared for and most importantly, he was given all the love and snuggles he needed! We will definitely book with them again!”

Chris & Amy are amazing for dog care. At the last minute they agreed to take care of my puppy and I was able to enjoy the time with my family reunion ( in a no pet home!) he got to go to a baseball game, walk by the water and play with boys in their backyard. The pictures they sent of his day made my day knowing he was happy and in skilled hands!
My wife and I recently left our Obi with Lucas for a long weekend. It was our first foray into the world of Rover and we were not disappointed. Lucas was extremely professional from start to finish. He clearly loves animals of all types and we wouldn't hesitate using his services again.
Stacey is our go-to sitter for our corgi Valkyrie. Val has been enough times that at the most recent drop-off, she didn't even look back at us when we left haha. She always has a really good time, and my spouse and I have peace of mind knowing our dog is getting great care from someone we trust.
We had a wonderful experience with Suzanne while we were away for 10 days. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind and let us follow along with all of our dog’s fun adventures. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We would happily book with her again!
We could tell Millie had a great time with McKenna! Millie can be indifferent at best and anxious at worst with new people, and McKenna, with her experience with reactive dogs, was patient and calm with her. Great communication and frequent updates too. We were so comfortable with McKenna looking after Millie that we rebooked her immediately before her current stay was over.
Kori and Lola took great care of Bleu while we were out of town for 4 days. Bleu bonded with them immediately and seemed to settle right in from the start. Kori provided frequent updates and photos showing Bleu enjoying great walks and hikes. We are so pleased we found Kori.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oak Bay 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 Oak Bay
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
- 82% 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.
