About: I grew up with dogs (golden retrievers and a papillon) for 23 years, I love every dog I see, so dog care is definitely my thing. I am very accustomed to all types of dog behaviour, walking, feeding, giving medication, itchy paw care, and all other pet care associated with dogs. I'm a well seasoned dog caretaker and am very familiar with many types of challenges and hyper puppies. I currently do not have a day job, so I am very able to be a hands-on caretaker to your pet. Walking, feeding, and attentiveness are my main priority. The best way to make sure your pets feel safe, trusting, and comfortable is for me to continue on the daily routine they tend to follow. I'm very familiar with having to separate animals in different rooms, gates, stairs, feeding schedules and walking times. The best way I can give the utmost care for your companion is if you tell me exactly what you'd appreciate in terms of caretaking from me and I will make sure I do it exactly how you'd like in a way that is comfortable for you and you pet!

About: Hello there, my name is Cass! I am a huge animal lover looking to help you take care of your animals! I currently separated from my kitty due to not having a pet friendly home so I would love to spend some time with your pets in your home! I can provide evening dog walking, and stay overnights. I have an early morning job but am usually available after 3pm and also available on my off days all day long! I have been caring for different animals for over 15 years including cats, dogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, and lizards. I am extremely reliable and easy going, with tons of references on my abilities on house and pet care. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I currently work full time, but I have tons of time in the morning and evenings for dog-walking. I am also open to living in your home while you are away to take care of your pets. Or even drop in check-ins to ease your mind while you are away I am a very trustworthy, attentive care-giver. You will have nothing to worry about if I am taking care of your pets in your home. I have strong attention to detail and will always make sure everything is safe and protected while in my hands

About: Experienced dog walker and sitter in Victoria, BC. Reliable and trustworthy with small dogs and cats of all ages. Flexible schedule and a good communicator. Pet care fits into my flexible schedule as i am an online graduate student who loves to get outside for physical activity and animal care time. I am thorough with my pet care and make sure everything is accounted for. I make sure the pet is happy with food, water, walks, play time and a cleaned litter/backyard.

“Ashley is wonderful! She took such great care of my kitty. I came home to a very happy girl! Ashley sent lovely detailed notes at every visit, and has great attention to detail in her pet care. I highly recommend Ashley!”

About: I've cared for many pets growing up. My cat, Cinnamon, has been with me for about 6 years now, and I very frequently care for my family's dog on and off for about 2-3 years. I'm currently studying full-time so I'm almost completely unavailable during the weekdays, but on weekends I'm super free to care for and love your fur-babies! I have a fenced yard with a good amount of grass, and my cat is either only in the upstairs of my house or adventuring outdoors! When checking up I'm totally understandable to leave pets to themselves (my cat is not the biggest cuddlebug) or give any attention they might want! (my family dog is an absolute velcro dog)

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. Neighbours, family, and friends have always trusted me to walk, play, feed, bathe, and give medication to their dogs. I have experience will puppies and senior dogs. I am currently working and a student but am available for drop in walks and care. I am more available during the evenings around/after dinner time I currently live with 5 other roommates who all love pets. We do not have a fenced yard, but live in a very walkable neighbourhood with many parks around

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sorts since I was 7. I have a strong knowledge of body language from dogs and understand well how to care for dogs all with different needs! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to pay attention to your fur baby! I’m available weekends to pet sit overnight (as well as Mondays, Thursday and Fridays if you’re okay with a 4 hour shift being taken in the early evening.) in terms of dog walking or visits, I’m free Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays before 2:30 and all weekend! Happy to accommodate your fur baby in any ways you’d like within your house! This includes, walking time, feeding time, whether or not your dog needs to be crated etc.

About: I am my friends’ go to dog sitter and have done overnight sitting with multiple doggos! I’ve never owned a dog but have been in a cat household my whole life. I like to hangout at home (or your home) as well as go on dog friendly adventures such as hikes and would love to spend some time with your dog(s)! Very much interested in travelling out of town to sit so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I work Monday to Friday with the ability to work from home most of the time! I am also very open to weekend roadtrips to your place. I like routine myself so incorporating your pet(s) into mine isn’t very hard! I’m great at following instructions and understand the importance of your pet(s) sticking to their routine(s), especially if they’re stressed because you’re gone! I pay attention to feeding, walking, etc. without missing a step and am always open to a cuddle if that’s something your pet is interested in!

About: In this home, the dog is king, and yours can be too! Dogs are allowed on furniture, and in beds. I presently reside in a beautiful pet friendly apartment in the Fernwood area. This is home has quick and easy access to green space, with many oak trees for great sniffing opportunities. Cuddles, massage and belly rubs are the standard. I will treat your pooch as I do my own, a member of the family who deserves the best life has to offer. I offer complimentary sticks, and ample squirrels or deer for observing. Woofever you prefer. I'm available most week days & wknds! I am an early riser, morning person by nature so early morning requests are likely be approved. I do work a FT job but will do my best to accommodate requests. Full availability Saturday& Sunday. Regular walks + trips to the trails or mountains in the surrounding area. Frequent outdoor time for regular bathroom breaks and sniffaris. Apartment living in lush green surroundings, in a dog vibrant neighborhood. A 4 year old neutered male Boston Terrier named Mr. Pickles lives here full time.

About: I’m new to pet sitting, but I have cared for my Miniature Dachshund for more than 10 years. I love dogs and often spend time whenever I can. I’m caring, responsible, and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets on my days off and during open hours. I truly enjoy spending as much time as possible with dogs and making them happy. In your home, I will make sure your dog feels relaxed, safe, and cared for. I will follow your walking routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions while respecting your home and space.

About: My family adopted our dog from the SPCA, and caring for her has been a really meaningful experience for me. Over time, I’ve seen how love, patience, and consistency build a strong sense of trust and loyalty. I’ve also had the opportunity to dog- and house-sit many times, which has strengthened my confidence in caring for different pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am currently on summer holiday from university, so I have lots of free time to spend caring for others’ dogs, whether going for walks or housesitting. I provide care directly in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for, while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and organized during my stay.

About: I am the daughter of two veterinarians and grew up with plenty of pets at home. I love animals with a passion and have lots of animal care experience. I'm currently a student looking for a dog walking or house sitting job. I'm available most evenings and occasionally the mornings/ afternoons as well as weekends. I have lots of experience handling animals and am able to crate, feed and play with pets. I am also familiar with the area and comfortable going for long walks, or just hanging out with pets at home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and currently have two family dogs, a 9-year-old Border Collie x Coonhound and a 7-year-old Boston Terrier, both full of energy! I grew up around many animals and often would pet sit for friends and family. I love spending time outdoors and exploring new trails, and when I lived in Pemberton, I’d take my dogs on 7am hikes and often picked up neighborhood dogs to join us. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels, and I make sure to give each pet the care and attention they need. I truly love all animals and look forward to meeting you and your pet/s! I’m a full-time student at Camosun College, but my schedule is very flexible since my classes are spread out and only run Monday–Thursday. I’m usually out of my apartment for no more than 2 hours a day, so I have plenty of time to board animals, give them attention, and make sure their needs are met. Caring for pets also gives me the perfect reason to spend more time outdoors! I live in an apartment, but the complex has lots of open yard space for play and exercise. My favorite way to spend time with dogs is going on walks and hikes, and I’m happy to drive to nearby trails to make sure they get the activity they need. I’m very responsible and always follow any routines, rules, or training you have in place for your pet so they feel comfortable and secure. At home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles, and I make sure they’re never left alone for long. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’ll treat your pets like family and give them the care they deserve.

About: I have a lifetime worth of experience with dogs/cats as I have always had both in my home. I also have experience with dog/house sitting for multiple days with one or more dogs at a time. This includes daily walks, feeding, and playing. As someone who had a very reactive dog for 10 years, I understand the stress when having someone else look after them. I am here to make sure your animal feels safe and loved! I currently have availability Monday-Friday and weekends upon request. My daily routines consist of CrossFit, hikes/walks, and running. It would be a bonus adding your dog into my schedule. Having had 3 different dogs throughout my life alongside cats takes a lot of responsibility so I am familiar with how to take care of a full house. Whether that includes walking, hiking, or just stopping in to say hi, I am fully confident in caring for your pets.

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.

“Sarah is amazing - I always get plenty of pictures and a detailed report of each visit. It’s so comforting to have a fellow bird parent petsitting my two cockatiels. Sarah has more birds than I do so I know she loves birds and is more knowledgeable about bird care than the average pet owner. Bird behaviour is a different ball game to dogs and cats. Sarah is so gentle with my birds, she never forces them, just cajoles and coerces them as you do with birds if you don’t want lose their trust, let alone gaining it. She’s definitely better than me in that regard, haha. This is my second time booking her and it’s been great every time.”
