“Bryan is an expert and provided a high standard dog-home away from home! He sent us regular doggy updates and texted adorable pics (which we will be getting printed because they are adorable!) Our dog came home very happy and definitely was well looked after for our time away. Highly recommended for dogs!”
“Amazing! Highly recommended, was in a pinch for safe boarding for my Dane and after four days Hendrix came home and slinked upstairs to our bed to pass out for 5hrs. Will be making this our primary for additional care. Highly recommended!!”
“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.”
“Kathy has looked after my dog Bella numerous times. She is prompt with communication, a responsible sitter, and ensures Bella gets adequate exercise and attention. I would highly recommend her for all of your dog sitting needs.”
“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!
“Katy and Rachelle are warm, welcoming, and professional dog-sitters. Our Daisy stayed with them and their dog Tater for a week over Christmas and she had the best time. They treated her like part of their family and sent lots of happy puppy updates throughout the week. We would hire them again and recommend them to anyone!”
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!
“Rox took great care of Digby. He seemed very comfortable with her, and in her home with her dog and cat. She was responsive and provided lots of updates. I felt like Digby was in good hands.”
“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!”
“Could not recommend Alana enough! I have a hard time leaving my dog with people as she is high energy and can having a hard time settling in with sitters. All my concerns were eased after my dogs stay with Alana. Socks settled right in and had the best time! Alana was great at sending updates, she sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the stay. She also took my dog on lots of adventures- she came back home tired and happy. Socks will be coming back to her next time I need a sitter without a doubt!”
About: I’ve dog sat for family and friends in the past and have had lots of experience growing up with caring for pets. I have a dog of my own who is a 7 year old havenese poodle named Crosby! In addition to this, I spent a year volunteering at a dog shelter and worked to take care of and walk the dogs at the Edmonton Humane Society. I’ve had a great love for animals my whole life and have so much fun caring for and spending time with pets. I’m currently a student at the University of Victoria and am studying to be an Elementary school teacher. Aside from the classes I’d be taking in the day I’d have full availability for your when I’m not in class, aswell as lots of free time on weeknights and weekends. I would be easily able to adapt to your pets needs aswell as your home and care instructions dependant on your pet. I’ve been around and worked with a variety of pets and feel confident in my ability to enable them with the love and attention they need for any situation. My number one priority would be to make sure they feel safe and loved during my care and to make the process as helpful and stress free as possible!
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.
“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.”
“All the reviews are true, Tiana was fantastic and we felt our dog was well taken care off. We really appreciate the pictures and video updates throughout our trip. Thank you!”
“Laila took incredible care of my pup Bodhi. He’s a bit anxious at first and she was able to calm him down and ensure that he was comfortable. 10/10 experience and I’ll certainly be reaching out in the future if I need a sitter. I highly recommend Laila to other pet owners who need a safe and welcoming home for their pet while they travel.”

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.
