Pet Boarding Oak Bay

“Amanda and her son were the best we could find for Simba when we want to vacation. My puppy had a blast and even missed them when he was back with us. Amanda kept in touch with us daily while we were away, giving us updates and sending us pictures. Amanda is highly recommended if you looking for a dog sitter.”

“Stephanie is awesome! She got Hank in last minute, was very flexible with excellent communication beforehand. And with her large dog experience and extensive knowledge with training, Hank had the best time! He made lots of new friends and was nice and tired when he got home. I totally recommend Stephanie. :)”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. A former owner of a golden retriever, I have been counted on to look after friends, family and coworkers dogs for a number of years. I have downloaded Rover to get the chance to meet new friends (dogs and people) since moving to Victoria from Ottawa this fall. While I am job searching for a permanent gig, let me take your dog out on some adventures so they can show me around. Also happy to be a chill at home if they prefer as well. I’m currently job searching for full time work in Victoria since moving from Ottawa. In the meantime, I’ll have free time to watch your dog. Explore or chill at home, up to them (and you)! I have a specious one bedroom apartment that I share with my girlfriend. We both love dogs and are always happy to welcome a new friend into our home!

“Biscuit had a great time with Justin. He had some walking adventures and was happy when we picked him up. Justin is great to communicate with. Biscuit will be happy to come back next time!”

“Tannis was an amazing dog sitter for Tucker. She updated us the entire time we were away with photos and notes about how he was doing. We could totally relax knowing he was eating, enjoying time outside and snuggling up inside. She took amazing care of him and so did Bubba, her sweet little dog. Bubba is a very welcoming host as well - Tucker has made a new friend. I would highly recommend Tannis to look after your beloved pets.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a teen. Over the years I’ve had cats, dogs, horses, birds, and all sorts of rodents. I have housesat and cared for dogs in my own home. I have worked on farms taking care of horses! I am comfortable getting into the thick of it, not afraid to get dirty going for adventures and walking dogs off leash. I work full time Monday - Friday so am available to house sit on weekdays but not around during the day! In the evenings and weekends I like to relax at home and go for walks. Happy to cuddle with your animals and make sure they get attention :) If animals come to my house - I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs, a cat, and pet doves. If this wouldn’t work for your pet, I can come to your place and take care of them!

“Viktoriia was so good, she took care of my dog with love! She gave him showers and took him on hikes. Kept me posted and sent photos of my dog. I will definitely love to use her again!”

“Alanna was an amazing sitter for my dog Hunter, he is a senior dog with mobility challenges and she worked so hard to accommodate his needs. I loved the updates and pictures she send. I would definitely recommend Alanna as she was so understanding and caring.”

About: Hi! I’m Alma, and I feel really lucky to have grown up around dogs - from tiny Chihuahuas to Poodles and mixed breeds. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’ve cared for different types of dogs, including high-energy and intelligent breeds like Border Collies, as well as smaller dogs and poodle mixes. One thing I've noticed is that energetic dogs tend to respond really well to me, and I find it interesting to learn what they enjoy the most. As a pet owner, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. That’s why I pay close attention to how they’re feeling and what they need - whether that’s a long, active walk or a calm, relaxed one, always respecting their pace and routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they're doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and my goal is to make sure they feel relaxed, understood, and genuinely at ease in my care. Feel free to reach out if you think we’d be a paw-fect match. I’d love to meet your pup! I’m primarily available for morning walks during the week, and I try to keep a consistent schedule. I also have some flexibility, so feel free to reach out! I’m happy to accommodate when possible :) Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow routines and instructions, and I stay fully attentive throughout every walk. I choose safe, dog-friendly routes, keep dogs securely leashed when needed, and remain aware of my surroundings at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing - giving you peace of mind while they’re in my care.

“Kaori took such wonderful care of my cat, Phillip, during his very first time away from home. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and she kept me updated with messages and photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Phillip is usually shy in new environments, but thanks to Kaori's gentle care, he adapted so well. It was clear that she truly cared about his comfort and happiness. I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. I highly recommend Kaori to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely amazing with cats. Thank you so much, Kaori, for taking such great care of my precious Phillip!”

“Steph sent me daily updates, photos, and videos of my pup. My pup seemed to have settled in quickly and didn't show any signs of stress after we picked him up. Steph's house is now my pup's home away from home.”
