“Cristina and Maria were wonderful with my dog. They were available at short notice and really helped me out.”

About: I have had pets for over 30 years and have been active with all my pets needs and love that they all require. All my pets won the lottery with my care and love I love to go on multiple walks and spend much time outdoors. I am also very attentive to all animals needs. Love to spend time with the dogs while at home watch TV I walk the dogs and take them out regularly. I spend time playing with the dogs. I make sure their needs are met when it comes to feeding them or meeting any special needs that they owners require.

“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.”

About: While new to Rover, I bring decades of real-life experience caring for both animals and homes. As a pet owner myself, I understand how unique each animal’s personality can be—from playful and social to more independent, shy or sensitive. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe and respected and I take time to read their cues and build trust at their pace. I’m comfortable supporting puppies, adult and senior pets, as well as special-needs animals, including administering medication and offering gentle, attentive care. With a calm, grounded presence, I help pets feel at ease while keeping their routines consistent in their own familiar space. I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet and home in someone else’s care, and I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach—so both you and your furry-friend can feel comfortable and at ease. 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.

“Danielle took great care of our senior cat, making sure he got his daily medication and cuddles while we were away. We’re already looking forward to rebooking with her for our next trip.”

“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: I have previously lived with 4 large dogs! And loved every minute of it. During this time I helped raise two puppies and took all 4 for frequent walks. I am available on Saturday and Sunday full time. Otherwise for week days I am available from the morning until 4 pm as I work evenings. I am an expert at building relationships with other peoples dogs! I love to play with them, take for walks or even just cuddle with them on the sofa I am also willing to do whatever necessary to keep them safe

“So happy that I found Rhaya to look after my cats while I was away on vacation! One is 18 and requires his meds and like a pro she made sure he got them. He also took quite the liking to her;) The other is very shy, an indoor/outdoor and she somehow managed to get her to come around to eat. Very rare with people she doesn't know! Upon meeting Rhaya I knew right away that she could be totally trusted and that my cats would be in the best hands. I had no hesitation in just leaving a key for her and it was so nice to get a quick message update daily after each visit. As well a few cute pics over the time period:) Professional, reliable and caring, I highly recommend her to all other pet owners. So grateful to have found my new regular cat sitter🙏”

“Janean was Amazing!!! She took excellent care of our Mr. Meowzers! She was professional and responsive. She came for a meet and greet beforehand. Our cat loved her company and was excited to see her everyday. Excellent care !! Highly recommended!!”

Katie N.

“This was our first time using a dog sitter...ever. I was very nervous about leaving our babies with a stranger. I was very glad to do a meet and greet before hand and knew right away that Jilly would be perfect. I felt confident that they were with some who would take really good care of them. We were able to chat, check in. She sent me some photos. I know for sure I will use her again.”

About: Hi love pets, and all kinds not just dogs, I have no problem checking in on any other pets in your house, (fish, lizards, mice, rats, etc!) I’ve always had animals in my life. My main goal is to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. Making sure your pets have what they need and are safe is the top priority for me and I’ll do what I can to achieve that. I am currently working a full-time job 8hrs a day, Friday-Tuesday. This means potty breaks every 8+ hours. While I'm off I have full availability for all adventures needed to keep your pets satisfied! Coming into someone else's home my priorities are to make sure I'm following any house rules, and keeping to the schedule for your pets to stay happy and comfortable while your away.

About: I have been in the pet care business for over 10 years. From doggie walks to overnight stays. I understand what it takes to be a loving and responsible care giver as I have needed to have a person care for my pets when I'm away. We all need to feel the confidence when putting the trust into a person who will be caring for our family members. Communication is key with regular updates. I am retired so I make my own hours. I am available for most days other than my time away. Only looking to book locally . Making sure I understand all the pet care details, having them written down to make sure all is being done correctly. Regular communication between the parties.

About: I’m a professional animal trainer with 8 years of experience working with animals of all kinds—from exotic species to dogs. I’m deeply passionate about animal care and welfare. I can confidently provide basic pet vet care, administer medications, and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and enriched while you're away. I work full-time most weekdays but am available right after work for evening visits or walks, and I’m fully open on Sundays and Mondays. I make time every day to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and well cared for, just like they’re my own. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on creating a safe, familiar environment where they feel comfortable and loved. I provide enrichment through play, feed according to their routine, administer medications as needed, and can handle basic vet care. Most importantly, I offer plenty of cuddles, affection, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality.

“CHRISTY IS A CARING, PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER. Dutchess loved her. I was apprehensive leaving my cat for the first time, but after meeting Christy and observing how Dutchess took to Christy I felt so much better leaving her.”

About: I am a huge dog lover! I have had dogs my whole life and am super comfortable around them. I've walked dogs on and off for the past 9 years, and I have had my own rescue pooch for 7 years now. I would be more than happy to walk/board your dog when I am available too :) I have a part time job working as a birth and postpartum doula. Needless to say, I am passionate about supporting families; and your furry friend is part of that family. I would love to fill my free time taking care of your pooch. My days can be inconsistent, but if it works with your needs, then count me in! I have a more gentle approach when taking care of dogs. With my dog being a rescue, I learned the importance of building trust and using a calm voice when training. I like to train using positive reinforcement with good treats.

About: Perfect space for pets to come hang out. 1/2 acre beautiful yard with lots of cedar trees and racetrack. I am currently available fulltime. I am an automotive technician and build custom kitchens. I love to camp, fix, collect and repair projects. Raised with a dalmation my younger life. I can whisper all dogs so they are calm and happy. I love cats. Just me in a 5 bed 3 bath home after selling in Vancouver and moving to the Island. Im youngest of 5 kids with parents that are amazing! Dogs are always super happy to be here! They can explore the huge backyard any time! Im in this to spend more time with animals! I'm available full time to care for pets. Any work I do outside the home I limit too no more than 4 hours! I will bring pets along everywhere I go generally! Pets get the luxury of free roam in my home! They have a big fenced backyard to roam and play. As long there recall to come back inside when asked they get full privilege of going in and out as much as they want! After years of caring for animals I've learned so many safety strategies and precautions!

About: Hi, I’m Summer! I love getting dogs out for real walks — fresh air, movement, and a chance to explore. Whether your pup needs a long adventure, a steady-paced stroll, or just a reliable check-in during your busy day, I show up with care and attention every time. I’m easygoing, communicative, and great with all personalities — from shy cats to high-energy pups. Every visit comes with clear updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pets deserve someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I’m here to make their day better, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday–Wednesday, which gives me plenty of flexibility for weekday walks and drop-ins around my shifts, as well as full availability on Thursdays, Fridays, and sometimes weekends. I love building my days around getting outside, moving, and spending time with animals, so adding walks and check-ins is something I genuinely look forward to. I keep a consistent schedule and always make sure pets get the time and attention they need without rushing. I care for pets in my clients’ homes in a way that keeps their routine consistent, calm, and stress-free. During drop-ins, I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter care, bathroom breaks, medications, and whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable. I always move at the pet’s pace, especially with shy cats, puppies, or seniors, and make sure they feel safe before interacting. For dog walks, I focus on giving them a good, structured walk with plenty of sniffing and stimulation. I’m attentive to their body language, energy, and comfort level, and I always keep safety as the top priority. I respect your home the same way I’d want someone to respect mine — clean, careful, and mindful. After every visit, you’ll receive a detailed update and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“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.”
