“My first Rover experience and a very positive one! Anqian and Alexandre sent sweet updates of my cat Ham and really gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Monica and her partner are gems!! My first time leave my big, 1 year old, four legged son with someone and it was a last minute decision to try find someone. I’m so glad we came across Monica’s profile. Arthur can be reactive and high energy, and stubborn, and she managed wonderfully and he had an amazing time. Would highly recommend her and hopefully will get the chance to have Arthur in her care again. Thank you Monica - and for the updates and photos!!”
“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. :)”
“Really friendly and communicative! Took great care of Buster. He has a beautiful back yard garden with a fenced in area for off leash time at home. Took him out for a nature walk and let him have some couch time! Really appreciate it!!! Thank you!!!”
“Ida and her dog Nala were very welcoming to our dog Maika who was quickly integrated in the family. It was her first time sleeping anywhere else than home. They played with her, brought her to walks, nature parks and dog parks, cuddled with her and remained attentive to her needs. We loved receiving daily reports with pictures of the day. At the end, our dog was reluctant to get in the car with us, as she had a great time with Ida and Nala. It helped that we first booked Ida for a walk then for a one night sleepover so our dog knew we would come back after our 5 nights trip. We will definitely book Ida again!”
“Amelia was very phenomenal taking care of my dog Tails. She was also very accommodating and understanding when I couldn't make it on time for pick up due to flight disruption. Strongly recommended to everyone for her outstanding service.”
“Rachel was great! Good communication and very friendly. We were on holiday from the states and our schedule changed a lot due to drive times and sightseeing. Rachel was very kind to pivot with us. Also, one of our dogs had special instructions with his medication, and she handled it without skipping a beat. She took great care of our boys! Would highly recommend her!”
“Our dogs love their holidays with Bill and Gerie. It is always such relief to spend time on holiday without worrying about your fur babies. We are repeat customers who thoroughly recommend Bill and Gerie.”
“Any, Chris, and their two boys were wonderful with our Franny. During an overnight stay, Franny got some awesome training time with the boys, a good night time walk with Amy, and even got to spend the night cuddling with Chris and Amy. During her stay Amy, provided us with regular and ongoing status updates to ensure that everything was going well. They are truly pros and fantastic dog sitters who we recommend whole heartedly.”
“We were a little worried about leaving our dog Murphy with a family he had only just met.... for 11 days. But, we needn't have been concerned at all. We received lots of pictures and comments during our time away, and it was very evident that Murphy was one of the family, having a wonderful time. Their dog Rory is very accepting of other dogs and was wonderful with Murphy. We would not hesitate to recommend this family and we will definitely book with them again.”
“Angela and her boyfriend were great with our 2 dogs Oliver and Stella. Stella is fear reactive and is very timid with new people, but she transitioned into Angela’s home well and seemed to settle in and get comfortable quickly. She sent updates each day and was very responsive about drop off and pick up. They were both happy when we picked them up but didn’t seem too eager to leave immediately, which suggests to us they had a good time!”
“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. ❤️”
About: My partner Kai and I both live in the household, I currently manage bookings and communication while Kai is there for care as well. We have had experience taking care of all sorts of dogs. Administrating oral medication, working with raw food diets, and basic grooming services such as nail trims, brushing, washing, etc. We’ve also had hamsters, fish, cats, and bunnies throughout our lives. I have time around my part-time work and on holidays, long weekends, or other occasions to take care of your animals! I love to get outside and be active when I can so if your dog is active they will fit in well. Kai goes to university and works part-time, so he’s also occasionally around! We keep an eye on your dogs when outdoors and leashed at all times. In the home we make sure they stay safe and get any attention needed, from meals to play.
“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!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Oak Bay is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Bay
Stacey and Izzy are awesome! We have 2 Mexican rescue dogs with mobility challenges and some behaviour issues, which require consistent calm yet firm attention and assistance up and down stairs. Stacey and Izzy knew exactly what to do without me having to say anything. Stacey bought a carpet for her house to help my dog walk so that her back legs don’t slide all around. Izzy was generous and shared her bed 😊Through the daily videos and pictures, it was evident that my dogs were comfortable, well cared for and they trusted Stacey. Our older dog, who does not show her belly to anyone, clearly trusted Stacey by freely presenting and enjoying a belly rub. Thank you Stacey and Izzy ❤️
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!
Lauren’s extensive experience with pet care (including experience working in a vet hospital) set my mind at ease when I needed to find a somewhat last minute sitter for my dog Ollie, who’s in his senior years and has a sensitive little system. She was amazing with Ollie and sent lots of updates and adorable photos during their time together. I would absolutely book with Lauren again!
Angela was super helpful and attentive even before I officially booked with her, which gave me a lot of confidence from the start. Both Angela and her partner were great with Rico, and he seemed to really enjoy his time with them too. I’d definitely recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
We could tell Millie had a great time with McKenna! Millie can be indifferent at best and anxious at worst with new people, and McKenna, with her experience with reactive dogs, was patient and calm with her. Great communication and frequent updates too. We were so comfortable with McKenna looking after Millie that we rebooked her immediately before her current stay was over.
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!!!

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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
