“Carrie was wonderful with Cooper who was a little anxious about being without me because we have been traveling for 2 weeks. It was an early drop off for a fishing charter and she was wonderful with cooper. I can’t thank her enough for being the support the cooper needed. Would highly recommend!”
“Some of the clearest and most punctual communication you can find on this I could tell Bari felt very much at ease right when we handed him off. Thank you a million times Audrey!”
“Jena was great to work with. She arranged a meet up the weekend before I left Piper for the day which was comforting and made for an easy transition on my first day back to the office. Her doggies are super cute as well and Piper had a great time! We will definitely use Jena again in the future to watch our little monkey:)”
“Chinel & Cristian are fantastic people and dog sitter. Cody went back happy and tired. Love a lot of photos and updates. Thank you doing such a great job. I will definitely book again.”
“Tommy has been great in communication and sending updates & photos as well as being flexible when needed. Harry's been really happy to spend time there and get to know ollie too!”
“Criofan was great, we were travelling from Edmonton and decided to do a last minute Whale Watching Tour. Within 5 minutes Criofan responded and we had Luna booked in to play for the day. We really appreciated the late night pick up at 10pm, was flexible for us to enjoy our time in Victoria without feeling rushed. The drive was only 20 mins, but was definitely worth the drive, huge space for Luna to run with Albert. Really appreciated the messages after dropping Luna off, put my mind at ease that she was behaving. Highly recommend, we got back a happy tired pooch!”
“If I had a 100 stars I would have given those to Bianca. Champ had a great time and Bianca was gracious enough to take his request last minute due to a medical emergency. Thanks so much for everything”
“Kimberly took really good care of my mocha for the day! I really appreciate that she agreed to watch Mocha even though it was a last minute booking. Communication was easy, drop off and pick up was too. She was very understanding of Mocha's challenges. Overall I highly recommend!”
About: My experience over the years with dogs has been with a variety of different breeds, ages and behaviors. I volunteered fostering dogs at the Victoria Humane Society in 2022 where I gained a lot of experience with different temperaments and ages/mixed breeds. The highlight of my experience was working for Island Miniature Schnauzers outside of Sooke in 2016 for 8 months. My duties were: Home Life training for adopted puppies. This provided the new owners one week of me training the puppy at my home. This included walking on leash for the first time, crate training, schedule for house training, socializing with other dogs and people to name a few.. I provided video and pictures to the new owners to keep them up to date on progress. I also took older Shnauzers who were used to farm life and adapted them to urban life by going on leashed walks, greeting new dogs and people. I also learned to groom puppies and older dogs as well. You can see in all my photo's with the Schnauzer puppies and dogs that I trained while working for IMS. Over the years I have taken care of friends/family dogs and cats at their home. I treat all animals like my very own. I massage them, comfort them them and just love them up! I have a nice sized backyard that is fully fenced for play. There are many trails, beaches and lakes that we go on each day. Depending on your dogs level of care, adjusting the cost is a flexibility I offer. I am retired and am home most of the day while caring for your pet. We walk once or 2x a day and I have a nice sized backyard. Games and training time are incorporated into our day. I aim to make it as balanced and fun as possible. I offer 2 walks a day. There are many places to walk close to my home & the galloping goose trail is behind my gate. My backyard is a good size for running and zoomies. Naps and downtime are a must for a happy healthy dog. The dogs sleep with me unless they need to be in a crate.
“Jules and Cody were amazing caregivers to Poppy. They had great communication and were accommodating. They seemed to love dogs and took our dog on many trail walks. Can’t wait to use their services again.”

“Amy is magnificent! I was a bit hesitant to put in a review as I want her available for my mutt! ;-) She is very calm and zen, loving, open and warm which was evidenced by our first meet and greet where she got on the floor and my girl just cuddled into her arms. She sent photos and updates without me asking and was flexible with last minute changes keeping Lily overnight. It is my Lily (the white French Bull Dog) that you will see on her sitter profile, and you can see for yourself how wonderful Amy is.”
“Took such good care of Ada on short notice and came out to meet me when I asked them to meet my other dog just to get a sense of their reactions. Ada was apparently demanding of a walk and they very graciously took her out for one. Ada was happy and tired when she came home, happy and sniffed out.”
“Montana was very communicative and great with our very shy guy! I think Marvin is bummed to come home with us after all the fun and cuddles he had all afternoon. Thanks so much! - Marvin and family”
“Chrystalla is very professional and cares for our puppy so well. She is clear with her communication and our dog was very happy when we picked him up. This was our first time in using the rover service and Chrystalla and we will definitely book her again. Thank you!”
“Ali is so gentle and has great energy. My little girl can take longer than usual to adjust to new settings and Ali gives her the space she needs. I am so happy I found her! Thank you!”
“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”
“Daniely took such great care of our little Maya! As a three month old, Maya requires consistent attention and care, and is still learning biting inhibition and walking. Daniely was patient with Maya's needs and gave regular updates throughout the day; she's also great at communicating and responds promptly, which is helpful to anxious parents! We also appreciate that Daniely took our last-minute booking and schedule changes, her flexibility was a welcome asset. Will definitely book again!”

Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. Every sitter on Rover has their own routine and some may offer flexible activities suited for your dog. 91% of sitters in your city can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.
These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sooke commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.

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 .
