When I came to pick him up he seemed very relaxed and happy. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking for a sitter.”
“Shravistha was incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible during a stressful moment in our trip to Victoria. As travelers with a dog, we suddenly found ourselves in a difficult situation late at night, and her quick communication and willingness to help gave us real peace of mind. Even though our plans changed afterward, we truly appreciated her understanding and support. Highly recommend!”
“Karheek and their family took wonderful care of our Border Collie, Sophie. They gave her lots of attention and exercise, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was so well cared for while we were away. We would highly recommend them to any dog owner, and will certainly call on them again when needed. Sophie’s new extended family in Victoria.”
“Thank you Chris & Amy for taking care of Eddy! It was our first time away from him as he’s still a puppy and we were regularly updated in what Eddy was up to which made us feel a lot better and at peace with leaving him behind for vacation. They took him for lots of hikes and and also had a big backyard to play in all day! I know it wouldn’t have been easy as he’s an energetic pup that gets into a lot of things but they handled it well and with ease. Such good communication and very compassionate. Thank you so much”
“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! :)”
“I couldn’t be happier with Clod-Orfee! She sent many updates throughout the week, went on daily off leash walks with the dogs and even provided great advice on how to work with my high energy, strong minded 1 year old! I highly recommend, you and your furry friend will not be disappointed!”
“Kaori was excellent with my dog. She was very communicative, sending me photos and videos, and made my dog feel comfortable and welcome. I will definitely use Kaori again in the future.”
“Christie and her little pal Jax took great care of Rosey for 2 nights and 3 long days. I felt that Rosey was in good, caring hands. I got updates throughout the day and I could see that Rosey was in a beautiful cozy environment with a new doggy pal by her side to pass the time, including adults around to ensure she was tended to which was all so reassuring. Thank you again Christie!”
“I feel beyond grateful to have found Bill and Gerie to care for my dog. As a first-time Rover user, and someone who strongly prefers to travel with her dog I was anxious about leaving him with a sitter; But from the initial meet and greet through to picking him up from his week long stay they put my mind at ease. My dog was incredibly well cared for and they went above and beyond to help him settle in and feel comfortable in their home while I was away. His stay ended up being a dream vacation for him as they thoughtfully incorporated his favourite things and likes into his time with them. Communication was excellent throughout. I never had to worry about how he was doing in their care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would not hesitate to recommend Bill and Gerie to anyone looking for wonderful caring pet sitters who will ensure your dog is safe and settled while away. In summary they are an incredible gift to pet owners. I can’t thank them enough for accepting my booking and the kindness and care they showed my pup and I.”
“Stephanie was very kind in assisting us to sea plane while picking up our dog. She followed our wishes and was on time and dependable with our pet. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Andrea was lovely! My dog can be a bit anxious and she seemed very happy with Andrea. Lots of updates and easy to get in touch with. And the home is beautiful and cozy too. Wonderful place to board your pet! :)”
“Katy and Rachelle responded quickly to our last minute request and took very good care of our 6 month old puppy. We received regular updates with pictures confirming she was doing well and feeling right at home. Oakley didn't want to leave when we came to pick her up.”
About: To me, a day with animals is the best day. I’ve been caring for fur babies in various ways for over a decade. Me and my soul dog, Cali were always looking for new adventures, with new friends, and I found myself doing something that truly made my heart happy! I lost my Cali girl earlier this year due to old age, and bless her heart for opening my eyes to how much I truly love and care about animals. I have experience with various breeds of dogs and also all of the cats! I’ve volunteered with rescues, and with FLED, and helped locate missing animals as well. I have a way with animals and feel like I can internally connect with them, and build trust quickly. I am currently working full time so I have time for pet care after 5pm on weekdays, or on the weekends. This includes house visits and bio breaks, a walk, or overnight boarding. I live in a townhouse style apartment with access to a yard for easy bathroom breaks! If you are considering me for overnight care, I do have an indoor cat who likes dogs very much, but it’s important that the dog staying is used to cats so we can keep our home calm and positive for everyone. I love to walk and hike so there will never be a dull moment! I have extensive experience with animals needing various kinds of medication, including injections and am confident in administering those. I have a very soft spot and a tremendous amount of patience for our seniors. After having my lab through all stages of life I see the extra care and attention that seniors need and don’t mine “slowing things down” to match that.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Bay
Vicki was an amazing host. She was flexible with our pick up time when we were able to get an early ferry back to the island. My little chihuahua cross had a blast playing with Vicki’s dogs and enjoying time out on Vicki’s lap. We will definitely choose Vicki again should we need a dog sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Laila for our dog Filson! She sent great photo updates, communicated and provided a safe, comfortable home environment. Laila is just a genuinely kind/cool person. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for attentive, top-tier pet care!
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.
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!
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.
Callum was amazing with our dog. She boarded with him for a week over Christmas and she had the best time! He was patient with her when she on guard for the first few days and she didn't want to leave by the end of the week. We will definitely be using Callum for everything moving forward. Thank you Callum!!!
Millie had her first longer-term (3ish weeks) stay with Hazelle and we could tell it went really well! Hazelle is calm and patient and Millie had a comfortable and enjoyable stay with her. Really quick and good communication too, we had no worries while we were away for so long. Would definitely recommend Hazelle!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your Oak Bay sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
