“Etieteen was so great with Molly! I would definitely have him come and puppy sit again. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans over Christmas that meant we could no longer take molly with us. Etieteen was so accommodating and put me at ease right away. He stayed at our apartment and took such good care of everything for almost a full week. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. He sent us lots of updates over the 5 days he was watching her and was always available when I needed to contact him. I can tell that Molly received lots of attention and was well taken care of while we were away. She misses her new friend.”
“Jenn was incredible! She was so communicative, kind, and attentive to our sweet, anxious dog. She followed our instructions for him to T, and when we came home, he was just so happy. Plus, our house was cleaner when we came home then when we left! What a treat! Our dog has been nervous in the past with other sitters, but we could tell he was happy and comfortable with Jenn right away. She and Adam really have a way with dogs, and we're so grateful that we found them. Will definitely be booking them again soon!”
“Kirsten is amazing. Just a lovely spirit for your fur angel to hang out with. She’s attentive and kind and affectionate and Ellie clearly loves her. She’s also reliable and flexible. We feel really lucky to have found her. :)”
“Pat was absolutely the best sitter we could have chosen for our little guy! She was super at communicating and sending us pictures. She left our home neat and tidy and we would love to have her back next time we are away! We highly recommend!”
About: I started my business 26 years ago, been professionally full time dogwalking ever since! I grew up with my parents owning a doggy daycare and learned everything from a young age about dogs, dog training, petsitting and dogwalking. I do private walks and group walks. Every dog has a meet and greet to evaluate their personality , and placed with the perfect group for him/her. I have training expierence, pet 1st aid, am bonded and insured. I practice fear free training with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I am available 6 days a week, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sundays, from 9 am to 5 pm. Potty breaks, playtime or walk & trains I live on a secured 3-acre property, with no other dogs. I do daily dog walking from 9 am to 5 pm, including drop in visits for playtime, potty breaks, or walk & trains
About: Greetings from the Dawg House! I'm Dawn! I am semi-retired and work from home with my two Rescue Pups: Blanquita the mini poodle mix and Margo the pug! They are rescues from Mexico and both welcome all of our new friends at the Dawg House. I have 97 five star gold reviews and testimonials and many repeat customers. I provide 24 hour supervision and dogs are never left alone or crated (unless the dog is used to it and that is what the owner wants). All dogs are welcome to sleep with me. I will also come to your house for overnights with your furry friends because I know that some dogs and cats do better in their own home. I have experience with senior dogs, nervous and anxious dogs, dogs who suffer from separation anxiety as well as dogs who need medication. Dogs have full run of the house and are never left alone without prior approval from you. I provide 24 hour care and supervision. Dogs at my house get lots of love and attention: our day can include snuggles on the couch, people & animal watching out of the windows, or with your permission - car rides to local parks and beaches. Your pup will have freedom to roam in our apartment, finding what spots they find most comfortable. I have experience with seniors, nervous/ anxious dogs, separation anxiety, and giving medications to dogs. Pets are allowed total freedom in our apartment and are more than welcome to sleep with us. All dogs are taken out several times a day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Port Renfrew on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Port Renfrew maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Port Renfrew walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Port Renfrew choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
