“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!”
“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 🐶”
“Thank to Kevin and Kayla for took care about my pets. They did a good job, they’re friendly and kind with me and my little ones. They listened to all my advices to take care of Tammy and MaGui. I’ll recommend them and I’ll booking again with them”
“Dani was great at caring for our pup Luna. From sending lots of photos to communicating as to how she was doing, we very much appreciated that level of communication and would definitely book again in the future! Thank you! :)”
“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.”
“Marlisa was fantastic with Moca! She took care of her exactly as promised and was so wonderfully kind to her. She provided a great, comfortable environment for Moca, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Michele was easy to plan a visit with before our weekend away, so my dog was more comfortable upon drop off. She shared photos, my dog looked very relaxed during her visit. (It was her first time being dog sat out of our home)”
“Chris and Amy were fantastic! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They loved Lucas and I think the feeling was mutual! Lucas was very well cared for and had a great time. Chris and Amy were great with providing updates too. We’ll certainly book with them again. Thanks, Chris and Amy!”
“My Benny has a great time with Christy and her dog, Luna. Christy is amazing at communicating and has been super flexible with my drop off and pick up times. We have used her twice I’ll definitely reach out to her again next time we are in Victoria Thank you for making Benny feel at home with you 💙”
“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.”
“Sandeep and his wife were lovely with our Boston Terrier, Henlee. They were respectful and accommodating for all my care guidelines which could be perceived as a little over the top for some, but important to me. He sent at least one update and picture/video each day which was really appreciated. They even bought him a new toy to take home which he loves. I’d definitely recommend Sandeep and will certainly book Henlee in with him next time we travel!”
“Ella had a fun time with Criofan. She was happy to leave me and play with the other dogs on the property and she was happy at pick up time. Criofan was easy to deal with. She responded to texts promptly and eagerly set up a meet and greet time beforehand. She sent me photos to show what Ella was doing while under her care. If your dog likes lots of space and other dogs to play with then this could be a place for them!”
“Callie had a wonderful stay at this ‘home away from home’. She was welcomed into the family and very well taken care of. It seems like she is missing her new friends already. Kirsten was an excellent communicator and kept us updated on Callie’s progress. Highly recommended!”
“Louis hadn’t seen Iris for several months but once he saw her, he went crazy with excitement! I know that he is in the best care when he is with Iris and that he is super happy to spend time with her.”
About: I have had pets of all kinds my whole life from hamsters to turtles to cats and my father later in life adopted dogs for me to care for when returning home. I started taking care of dogs when I was travelling for work in the USA through Trusted Housesitters with my partner. After having a child we have had fish, enjoy taking our friends' dogs for morning walks and cat-boarding for colleagues at work. I love living in Victoria and am lucky to live in a nice neighbourhood with big parks and nice walks. Walking is my favourite exercise and walking with company is the best! I am going to use the dog walking extra money to fundraise for my daughter's trip to DisneyLand this February 2027. I want to walk dogs in the morning before work and school for exercise and enjoy the early hours. I am also raising money to go on a trip to Disney Land. Having used Trusted Housesitters, I have stayed in other people's houses to care for their pets for up to a month. I also used to run an Airbnb with my partner so we could travel and have experience cleaning and taking care of the home with pets. I keep a clean and tidy home with my daughter, mostly to keep track of everything haha 😂 I have split level apartment at the top two floors of a house with open spaces and 2 bathrooms. I have a gated front patio and a giant dog park across the street. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the great weather of Victoria.
“Such a wondering experience . Natalie saved us after our regular gal wasn’t able to take our dog last min. She provided regular updates and was super responsive. Our old guy was well taken care of and will definitely send him back to her next time.”

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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oak Bay is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night. 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.
sitters in Oak Bay have an average of 17 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. 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. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.

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.
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.
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 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.
