“Doug and Janice are lovely. They checked in on my cats while I was away for Christmas and took care of feeding and medications (pills). I really appreciated the easy communication with them and will definitely reach out to them the next time I go away.”

“Marysa was lovely in checking in on my kitty. She sent the cutest photo updates throughout both days. I will be booking her again in the future!”

“Rhaya did a fantastic job looking after my little girl Lucy while I was away for a week. She was punctual on her visits and followed my instructions to the letter with feeding times, fresh water changes and litter box cleaning. She played with Lucy and kept her company twice a day which I was so grateful for. Rhaya went out of her way to ensure Lucy was safe, healthy and entertained so as to not feel lonely. She was quick to send photos and updates to ease my mind and always briefed me daily on how she was doing ie.feeding, bathroom and her overall moods. I am very pleased with Rhaya, she was professional and very caring. I would recommend Rhaya to anyone looking for a sitter for their family member while away, they would be in good hands.”

“Hannah provided amazing home visits for my cat while I was away for 10 days. I appreciated her messages/updates each time she came over; because of this and her obvious genuine love of animals, I wasnt worried about my pet at all and was able to relax fully while away which was lovely. On my return, my cat was happy and didnt seem as lonely as he has on previous trips. Can't recommend Hannah highly enough!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have experience with puppies and basic training, as well as supporting senior dogs with more complex care such as feeding routines, supplements and medication schedules. Dogs have always been part of my life, and today our own dog is a cherished member of our family and my son’s best friend. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely enjoy, rain or shine. I offer walks ranging from 15 to 60 minutes and tailor each outing to suit your dog’s breed, age, and energy level, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I provide dependable drop-in visits for potty breaks, feeding, and playtime, perfect for busy workdays or when you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Services are available both weekdays and weekends. I take your dog's safety, comfort, and well being very seriously. During walks and visits, I closely monitor their behaviour, energy levels, and surroundings to ensure they are safe, happy, and stress-free. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to send photos and text updates during our time together. I also welcome a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog can feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.

About: While I'm new to Rover, I bring decades of real-life experience caring for both animals and homes. I'm committed to providing personalized, dependable care while building lasting relationships with the families I serve. I provide professional pet care services on Vancouver Island, BC, in the Okotoks/Calgary area and in communities along my travel route between British Columbia and Alberta throughout the year. If you're looking for a trusted sitter for one-time or recurring care while I'm in your area, I'd love the opportunity to connect. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality—from playful and social to shy, independent, anxious or sensitive. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, respected and cared for, taking the time to read their cues and build trust at their own pace. I'm experienced caring for puppies, adult and senior pets, as well as pets with special care needs. This includes administering medications, supporting pets with mobility challenges, and providing calm, patient care for anxious, fearful or reactive pets while maintaining the routines that help them feel secure in their own familiar environment. My calm, observant nature allows me to notice subtle changes in behaviour, appetite or energy and I'll always keep you informed so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I understand the trust involved in leaving your beloved pet—and your home—in someone else's care. I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach to every booking. For overnight stays, I travel fully equipped with my own portable bed, bedding, towels and cooler, allowing me to settle in comfortably while keeping your home tidy and minimizing disruption. My goal is for both you and your furry family members to feel relaxed, comfortable and confident while you're away, knowing they're receiving compassionate, attentive care every step of the way. Additional Care Needs Please note: My Puppy Rate also applies to pets requiring additional time, attention or specialized care. This may include: 🐾 Puppies requiring frequent potty breaks, training reinforcement or close supervision. 🐾 Senior pets needing extra assistance with mobility, more frequent outings or medication administration. 🐾 Special-needs pets requiring medication, mobility support or individualized care. 🐾 Pets experiencing high anxiety, fearfulness or reactivity who benefit from a calm, patient approach and extra time to build trust. Every pet is unique, and I'm always happy to discuss your pet's specific needs before booking to ensure they receive the level of care they deserve. As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Natural Supplement Advisor, Energy Therapist and Certified Pet First Aid Provider, with ongoing education in Pet Wellness, I bring a unique blend of professional knowledge, practical experience and compassionate, heart-led care—treating every pet as if they were my own. As someone who is location-independent and runs a remote Wholistic Wellness business. I have the flexibility to travel and spend meaningful time with animals in their home. I create a calm, safe environment by following your pet’s routine, offering attentive care and helping them feel secure, settled and supported in your home.

“Kelly was terrific and took very good care of our kitties. She went above and beyond when our power went out while we were away. She also kept in touch with us during the entire duration so we knew everything was good at home.”

About: I find that pets are much more than just cute animals. They have their own stories to tell and are such beautiful and loving creatures. And that's why I love pets and always take great care of them. I am available most afternoons after 4 pm, evenings and weekends to help with pet sitting, walking and drop in visits to feed your pet if needed. I am new to this app. I have taken care of friend and family pets and are now looking to help others in the community.

About: Mature and reliable pet care at your home or my home. Large fenced yard - daily walks and lots of cuddles. Have cared for various dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m currently working from home so am available to care for and walk your pet and can either care for them in your home or in my home. I have two friendly dogs who are used to sharing. I have a fenced yard and large house to care for your fur baby. If you require dog walking or care in your own home I can accommodate your preferences.

About: I have owned one dog and a few cats over the years. Currently, i have no pets as we had to put our dogs of 18 years down last year. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I am available most days and am comfortable walking your dog in any weather condition. I am a reliable person who always follows through with her commitments and goes above and beyond. I also have a lot of experience with cats as I had them all of my life growing up. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, etc. I look forward to working with your fur baby. I work from home so I am able to let dogs outside in our fenced dog run whenever needed if boarding with me. I can also come to your house to pick up for walks I have two fenced in dog runs on the property and a big side yard (unfenced). I am able to take your dog to a number of trails and parks. We also have a large unfinished basement where my office is located so I spend most of my time there during the day

“Very caring of my kitty. Happy to have Karuna come.”

About: Hello there! I’m Amy and my partner is Ernest. We’re both big animal lovers. We grew up with dogs so we understand the different needs at each stage of a dog’s life, from puppy to adult to senior. We currently have a Westie/Cairn/Poodle mix whom we’ve raised since she was an eight-week-old puppy. Every Dog Is Different We know that every dog is different. We take the time to learn about your dog's personality, routines, exercise needs, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable around us. We carefully follow your instructions so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. A Little TLC We’re here to give your dog some extra love and companionship while you’re away. Whether that means going for a good walk, enjoying some playtime, or simply having a little company, we want them to feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, our goal is to care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable, so they can relax and enjoy their time with us. We both work together on our family flower farm so we have a flexible work schedule during the day to walk your dog or visit them. Most of the time it will be one of us caring for your dog, but on lucky days it will be both of us! Getting to know your dog and their individual needs is important to us. We believe building trust and a good relationship is key to making sure your dog feels safe and happy on every walk. We are good communicators, but most importantly, we listen to how you want your dog cared for and make sure to follow their routine and needs.

About: Currently house/pet sitting on Vancouver Island. Mostly in Qualicum area. Only available for dog walks! I am the go to for many friends and family for pet sitting! I travel a lot which makes having a dog or cat of my own hard, so being able to care for my friends pets allows me to get that animal therapy I need! I’ve had their pets in my home, or I’ve stayed at their place to watch them if their pet feels more comfortable in their own home. I love going for walks, and spending as much time with them as I can :) I’ve had pets my entire life - dogs, ferrets, and Guinea pigs. But as of now we don’t have any pets. My husband and I stayed at an animal rescue in Colombia, and it was truly paradise to be surrounded by so many dogs and cats that just wanted to be loved! We also pet sat our entire year in New Zealand (using kiwi housesitters). Currently working casual a Clinic in Nanaimo, Nanaimo Hospital and West Coast General Hospital. Working close to full times hours with days off when my husband has his week off from his fly in fly out job in Alberta. Can do dog walks on weekends and in the evenings! Currently house sitting in Qualicum Lots of walks and play time provided! As long as I have all the instructions needed to care for your pet, your fur baby is in good hands! I treat each pet as if they were my own.

About: Hey! I’m a Veterinary Assistant with 4 years of experience working in clinic. This has taught me many valuable skills including post surgical / wound care, administration of various medications, dietary needs, and many other pet caring skills. I also have spent a great deal of time caring for my own elderly doggy who recently passed from cancer. This in conjunction with my training has given me a great deal of experience working with high need pets who require complicated care. I’ve also done some casual cat and dog sitting for family, friends, and coworkers. Since my own doggie passed I have been missing my pet time and thought this would be the perfect way to get my fix! :) This September I’ll be going into full time school, as a student I will need to be on the VIU campus for 2-8 hours daily on weekdays. I’ll be available for pet care before and after class, and all day on weekends. :) As someone who has worked with pets of all kinds with varying medical and physical needs you can rest assured that I will have both the skills and knowledge to give your pet the absolute best care!

About: Growing up, I always had dogs and cats. When I moved to Nanaimo for school, I missed my pets so much that I started volunteering with ElderDog Nanaimo in 2022. I joined Rover three years ago, and it’s been an amazing journey! Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities: from confident, easygoing pups to those who need extra patience, trust, and understanding. I’ve loved getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I also completed my 208-hour criminology practicum with the BC SPCA, where I worked closely with dogs and cats, learning about their behaviour, backgrounds, and individual needs. I helped administer medication, provided daily care, and gave them the love and support they needed as they prepared to find their forever homes. Since June 2026, I am a VIU Criminology alumni! At the moment, I am away in Northwestern Ontario helping with wildfire operations, as a fire ranger. I look forward to resuming Rover bookings in October and caring for your pets again! My schedule is generally very flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care for your pets. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to book for October or later. I believe in building a genuine connection with every pet while keeping them on their normal routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and always follow your instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
