“Our kittens love getting visits from Sarah, and we love all the updates we get and coming home to happy cats. If I have the option, I always try to book exclusively with Sarah if our schedules align because she’s just the best.”
“Holly was very attentive and responsive while taking care of our cats. She provided daily check ins with photos and was very communicative when needed. Our cats are very shy and tend to hide around anyone who isn’t us but Holly managed to make friends with both of them :) We will definitely be using Holly in the future!”
“Alex is the best pet care person we have ever had. She follows directions perfectly and is a genuinely nice person. I look forward to using her services again and would highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend Robin! Her detailed updates and communication gave me such a peace of mind being away from my cat on a last minute work trip. I’m grateful for all her help and care with Jim while I was away, and cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Robin!”
“I left my two shy babes for a weekend and Ashley was very communicative and consistent, I didn’t think they would come out from hiding for her but they did make themselves known and felt comfortable around her. I rested easy knowing they were in her care!”
“Gwyneth is a prompt and professional communicator. She left detailed notes and photos during her drop in visit with Quigley, which we appreciated. We look forward to working with her more in the future.”
“I highly recommend her! She was punctual and reliable throughout the entire experience. A couple of days before the visits, she reached out to confirm everything was still scheduled, which I really appreciated and found very reassuring. She kept me updated after each visit with messages about how my cats were doing, giving me real peace of mind while I was away. Before I booked her, she was more than happy to meet with me, and she was warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly very responsible. I felt completely comfortable leaving my cats in her care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“Silvia and Andrea were great with our cat. Luna is an anxious cat, but Silvia and Andrea made her feel comfortable and she was very playful with them! They were also great at giving updates on Luna.”
About: I currently have a Sphynx (high maintenance cat breed with very specific needs) so I’m comfortable with tailored routines, diet restrictions, and reading an animal’s particular quirks.. I also grew up with dogs (multiple Border Collies) so I know the energy and exercise they need too. Whether your pet wants constant attention, space, or a specific routine, I adjust to what actually works for them :) I am currently working part time, so I have free time in my week and would love to drop in and take care of your animal(s). Typically I work Thursday-Saturday or Sunday, but am happy to accommodate as best I can if you need support during those days. In your home, I stick closely to their feeding schedule, walks, and any specific instructions, staying attentive to their comfort in their own environment throughout each visit. *I have a cat in my home, (2 bd duplex house). I am happy to have your pet stay in my home if they’re patient/friendly towards cats and my cat gets along with them -would need to discuss/meet & greet prior to me hosting*
“We loved all the photos of our kitties and reading what they’d been up to while we were away! Richelle really cares and was able to get even our shy kitty to come out and play with her. We look forward to having Richelle look after our pets again!”
“This is my second time booking Rover services with Vanessa and I couldn't be more pleased. Vanessa makes it so easy and goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are happy and the owner too. The cute photos of happy pets through the app are the cherry on the cake :-)”
About: Hi there! I’m Nick, and I am a lifelong animal lover. I believe every pet animal deserves a safe, fun, and engaging experience. Whether it’s a long walk in the neighborhood, a hike on the trails, or just some quality backyard playtime, I’m dedicated to keeping your pet happy and tired! I am reliable, punctual, and—most importantly—patient. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I prioritize clear communication and frequent updates. I look forward to giving your pet the attention and exercise they need while you’re busy. I just moved to Victoria BC and have lots of free time, a flexible work schedule, and a bike to get around. I live alone and work from home as an instructor and researcher at a few universities. I wake up very early and love being outside as much as possible. I am keen to explore my surroundings, including parks! I have access to a vehicle too with advanced notice. I live in a small apartment in downtown Victoria with access to a rooftop pet care area and cleaning facilities. I am very mobile within a limited range that is accessible by bicycle. I have access to a vehicle if necessary with advanced notice.
“Elena did a great job of taking care of Nova while we were gone for the week. Based on the pictures she sent, the two of them seemed to get along great. Will definitely book her again next time we have to be away from Nova for an extended period of time.”
“Camille was great taking care of my cat Lucy, checking in with me on how Lucy was doing each visit and sending over nice pictures. Would be happy to use Camille again in the future and would highly recommend!!”
“Diane is a pro! She went out of her way to meet Tiger before I left on my trip. She is confident around kitties, and Tiger was happy To see her immediately. She was a great communicator, asked the important questions and made me feel confident leaving Tiger in her capable hands. Diane sent fun photos and communicated when needed when I was gone. I returned to a happy and playful kitty. Thank you Diane.”
“Paige was amazing with Henry! She took such great care of him and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jasper! He looked after our three Ragdolls for a week, making sure they were well fed and spending time visiting and keeping them company each day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were being cared for so well while we were away. Jasper was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we came home, which says everything. We’re very, very happy with the care they received and would absolutely recommend Jasper to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. We would happily book him again”

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Nagi! We were able to enjoy our road trip along Klondike＆Dempster Highway without having to worry about him. Our cat tends to over-groom himself when he gets stressed, and we thought that he might do that while we were away. But he stayed healthy and didn’t do that at all. Now he's making up for two weeks of cuddles😻 We really appreciate it🧡
I’m so grateful to Sophie and Cieran for taking such wonderful care of my shy cat, Doki! 🐾 Doki is quite nervous and takes time to warm up to new people, so I was a little worried about leaving him in someone else’s care. Sophie and Cieran were incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with him, giving him the time and space he needed to feel comfortable. Their calm and caring approach gave me complete peace of mind. I also really appreciated how reliable, thoughtful, and communicative they were throughout the experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie and Cieran. They were wonderful with Doki, and I felt confident knowing he was in such caring hands. Thank you both so much for looking after Doki! I’m truly grateful and would happily use your services again. Highly recommended! 🐱❤️
Excellent service and professionalism! Lauren took great care of my cat and made sure he got his meds while I was away, and included many pictures with every visit. It really put my mind at ease to know my lil guy was in such good hands, and I’ll absolutely be booking again!
Karin not only took great care of my cat but also sent the MOST GORGEOUS photos I've got of him. I didn't expect one of the joys of my trip to be showing fellow travellers pictures from home, but anyone who caught a glimpse of a photo she took wanted to talk. I can't recommend Karin highly enough and look forward to booking her again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! It gave me such peace of mind knowing my cat was so well cared for while I was away. Alynne was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated my cat with genuine love. She also sent me lots of pictures, which helped with the separation on my part! My cat had some unexpected tummy issues while I was away, and I still came home to a very happy, relaxed kitty. I would absolutely recommend Alynne to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

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 Victoria 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!
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
