“Tiana was excellent with Finn! He had so much fun with her dogs and she has a great outdoor space for them to play and run around! She was constantly updating us with photos which made us feel great about being away as we knew he was so well taken care of! Will definitely use her again and Finn will be so excited to return 😁”
“Sandra was amazing with gunner. He is reactive so it's great to have someone be able to care for him and his specific needs. Great experience all together will definitely have gunner be a repeat guest.”
“Excellent with our dogs, and very accommodating with our schedule. They seem to enjoy their stay and are well loved and cared for which is all a dog owner needs. Thanks again.”
“Phenomenal experience. Prompt responses, amazing communication, my pup absolutely adored her and was exhausted once I brought her home. Highly recommend and will be using again”
“We had a great experience boarding with Criofan, she is kind, caring, and wonderful with animals. Her home and beautiful fenced property are set up thoughtfully to provide a fun and safe environment with lots of fresh air and exercise. We really appreciated the great communication and photo updates. Our dog was well cared for and made some new best friends. Thanks again!”
“Connie provided excellent care for our dog. She provided all of the information needed before drop-off. Once we dropped off our dog, she provided updates via texts, pictures, and videos on a very frequent basis. She was also very understanding when there was a slight delay picking up our dog due to traffic conditions. Happy to let her watch our dog again if needed.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I’ve always loved pets and have raised a couple puppies as well. I will be your pets new best friend! Im currently working part time so I will have lots of time to check in on your pets. I’m available most days in the morning and evening. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I closely follow each owner’s instructions, keep doors and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!
“Linda obviously loves dogs and took such good care of my pup. Her facilities are outstanding, very clean and well organized. She is who I will be using going forward with my new dog.”
“Charlie has a wonderful time with Heather and I’m sure loved his walks and couch time! Heather was super accommodating to all of his little quirks and preferences. Drop off and pick up were seamless. Am so glad to have found Heather.”
“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with them in their home. She was clearly so comfortable and well loved, and we got updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Millie came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again—highly recommend!”
“Kelsey is a great sitter, my Lucky is super happy to stay with her. Even after she often checks in with me about my dog. Seeing someone love a dog as much as she did is so lovely.”
“Excellent dog sitter — dependable, communicative, and truly caring. Our dog was well looked after and happy when we returned. Highly recommended for anyone needing trustworthy pet care.”
“Loved the photos throughout Darcy's stay. It showed how comfortable he was in such a short time! I will definitely be booking more Doggy-Day Care dates with Bianca for Darcy - THANK YOU.”
“Fantastic! My dog Piper looked so relaxed and happy with Ashley & Kelvin. I think she enjoyed her vacation as much as I enjoyed mine! They sent loads of pictures during her 5 day stay and groomed her to perfection. Highly recommended! I will book with them again for certain.”
“Rui went above and beyond to care for George. Our flight was cancelled and delayed several times, but she kind enough to accommodate George for an extra day. She sent frequent updates and photos of George while we were away, reassuring us that he was doing well and was in good hands. We highly recommend Rui for anyone looking for an attentive and caring dog sitter.”
“Candy spent 3 nights with Dawn and her family. This was her very first stay over since we moved to Victoria and due to her very strict diet and her health issues, I am always considered to leave her alone without me. But Dawn took amazing care of her! She always checked in and sent infos how Candy was doing. It was such a great feeling that I could relax and not worry about how she was because I knew she gets everything that she needs; love, attention, great care. Thank you Dawn again!”
“Aylin took such great care of our dog while we were away for a week. She went over and above and gave our dog lots of attention and care. We also received detailed daily updates about how each day went. I highly recommend Aylin!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Salt Spring Island home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Salt Spring Island
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
