“We were very happy to have been able to find Lisa during our trip to Vancouver Island. It is so great to have this service while visiting!! She took great care of our pups!”
“Dwight and family were super friendly and kept me up to date regularly. I was comforted when I got my photo updates, letting me know my pup was having as much fun as I was while I was away.”
“Terry was quick to respond and very accommodating of us and our large dog (Stout)’s needs. She immediately gave off friendly and caring vibes while chatting beforehand and when dropping him off, and it was obvious that she was capable of handling our pup. She kept us updated and sent photos throughout his stay. The smiles on Stout’s face were visible in each picture as she walked and played fetch with him. It gave us real peace of mind to know that he was well cared for while we were away. We would definitely recommend Terry and will book with her again if coming back to Victoria.”
“Thank you Rojin, knowing how much I care about my little Charlie, I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter.What a caring and kind young lady you are. I think Charlie will miss you and your little pooch (Cookie). I will not hesitate to using Rojin as Charlie’s sitter next time needed in Victoria.Top notch care.”
About: I am a reliable and professional government employee looking for a rewarding and enjoyable side hustle. Rover aligns perfectly with my love of animals. I am very active and outdoorsy, walking my own dog daily and exploring local beaches, parks and trails such as Willows Beach, Island View Beach, Durrance Lake and Mount Douglas. I have a calm, easygoing personality and I tend to get along with both pets and people. I am adaptable to your pets needs whether they enjoy long walks or just companionship and care, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after while they're in my care. I am available on weekends and can also accommodate pet care during the week. My schedule is fairly consistent, allowing me to plan ahead and provide reliable care. Whether you need regular visits, occasional help, or coverage while you're away, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your pet's needs. I live in the upper level of a character home with access to a mostly fenced yard. My dog gets daily walks and plenty of outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm happy to follow their routine and provide the level of care, exercise, and attention their pet is used to receiving.
About: Former best friend of a very senior pug who entertained us to the ripe age of 18. My wife and I continue to pet sit for a variety of dogs, both in and out of our home (references available) Retirement gives me plenty of time for walks, companionship and keeping to your dog’s familiar routine. Whether they enjoy exploring or prefer a gentle stroll and a quiet place to relax, I’m happy to follow their pace. My wife and I also have availability for overnight sitting for smaller, hypoallergenic dogs. Our yard is fenced and we are a two minute walk to an off leash dog a park. I’m extremely respectful of others spaces and their wishes for their pets.
“The best in Houston hands down. My sweet Remy loves her so much. She kept in touch with me several times a day, sending me lots of pictures, and letting me know how Remy was that day. Remy also had a play mate which kept him occupied and I loved that cuz he has sooo much energy and really neeeded that play time. I will definitely come back for my next trip and even day care like we talked about.”
“Neil is incredibly attentive to Tuna’s specific needs and a great dog sitter! He checked in with regular photos of different activities and I felt like she was safe and taken care of on my trip to Toronto. I didn’t worry about her once because I knew she was in very good hands! He has a very soft and caring demeanour about him that Tuna loves to be around. I’ll for sure be reaching out again for pet sitting services!”
“We were so thankful for the care that Karly and Brent gave to our Coco. We received daily updates and pictures of their activities and hikes. Coco looked well and we could tell that she had really bonded with them. When we got to their place they were ready for us, even dismantled the crate! Bless them!! Thanks 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! :)”
“Olivia was great - I was confident that our dog, Ellie, was in good hands. I received regular images and updates to know things were going well. Ellie is very shy, and this can be tricky for sitters that don't appreciate that, but Olivia was great about understanding Ellie's needs, giving her a safe space, and getting her out of the house to nearby parks to explore.”
“Suzanne is a terrific dog care giver. I really can’t thank her enough for caring for Cooper. Many walks, lots of play and love. She is marvelous. I will make her my go to sitter. ❤️”
“Helin and Seung are the sweetest, most caring pet lovers I have ever met! The are communicative, enthusiastic and sooo attentive to Nero’s needs. Nero bonded with their kids immediately, and even made friend with Luna, who was not too sure at first, but warmed up to him pretty quickly! I highly recommend these wonderful human beings to any of you who are looking for more than just pet sitting. Nero is learning new tricks!”
“Kelsey was a wonderful host to our little Brodie! You could tell it was a vacation for him too and that he was a content pooch in her care. She was super responsive and sent lots of photos and videos while we were gone. Super grateful for her care and will absolutely use her in the future. Highly recommend!”

“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with just about every pet you can think of: dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, rabbits, frogs, fish, and even a little mouse. Being around animals has always been second nature to me, and I love giving them all the cuddles, playtime, and care they deserve. We currently board pets in our home, which we share with two friendly black Poodles: Queen and her son, Porkchop, along with our sweet elderly orange cat, Podrick. For everyone's comfort and compatibility, we prefer to board hypoallergenic dogs, such as Poodles, Doodles, Bichons, and Shih Tzus. I also provide reliable dog and cat drop-in visits, making sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while you're away. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry friend needs a cozy place to stay, a walk, or a check-in while you're away, I'd love to help! 🐾🐩🐈🧡 I work for the school district from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible, making it easy for me to provide pet care when you need it. I live with my sister and nephew, and my sister works a hybrid schedule, which means she's home throughout much of the day when we have boarding guests. This ensures pets have plenty of company, supervision, and attention while they're staying with us. I love getting outdoors and exploring new parts of the city, but I'm just as happy spending quality time cuddled up with a furry friend and a good book. Whether your pet enjoys adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 I offer dog boarding, pet visits, walks, and plenty of cuddles, whether in your pet's own home or mine. Staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel safe and relaxed, making it easier for us to build trust and enjoy our time together. For boarding, pets stay in our home with our two friendly black Poodles, Queen and her son Porkchop, as well as our sweet elderly orange cat, Podrick. I live with my sister and nephew, and my sister works a hybrid schedule, so she's home throughout much of the day to provide extra supervision and company for our boarding guests. We prefer hypoallergenic dogs for boarding, such as Poodles, Doodles, Bichons, and Shih Tzus, to keep the environment comfortable for everyone. Whether your pet needs a cozy home away from home, a daily walk, or a drop-in visit while you're away, they'll receive lots of attention, affection, and personalized care. 🐾💕

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.

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.

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.
