“Ivy was amazing at taking care of our kitty George who has alot of separation anxiety. She played with him so much and gave him the best treatment while we were away for 4 nights. We came home to a happy kitty. We highly recommend ivy and would be a privilege to have her pet sitting again.”

“Ashley looked after for our cat for nearly a month, which was a long time but we know our cat was loved and cared for with Ashley. She sent us pictures and checked in regularly. Our cat gets up at ridiculous hours so we were worried Ashley’s sleep would be impacted but she was so tolerant with Couscous’ demanding feed schedule 🤣 We will definitely hire Ashley again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and kind cat sitter.”

“Anquia took great care of my cat, she kept me updated everyday and took a lot of pictures. I really appreciated her service. I highly recommend her to take care of cats!”

About: 5+ years of hands-on experience and dedication to providing thoughtful care for every pet. I have cared for puppies, dogs, and cats by house-sitting, walking dogs, feeding pets, giving medications and vitamins, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide reliable, loving care. I am available to walk your pets in the early afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can house-sit on occasion, if we come to a mutual agreement! I provide loving, personalized care, follow routines, ensure fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Customizable to you!
“Richelle is always great, she stopped in today to see my cat Lilly since I was working overtime at work. She is always on time and sends lots of pictures. Thanks Richelle, much appreciated!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life, and I've made it my work. I spent five years working on farms, ran my own dog walking business, and worked at a dog daycare for two years alongside it. I also housesit regularly and train dogs for clients as well as my own, so I'm calm and confident with animals of every size and temperament. I'm first aid certified and have vet knowledge. I've administered injections to various animals, so I'm comfortable with medications, including injections, and I know what to watch for if a pet seems off. At home I have three dogs, two Rottweilers and a Golden Retriever, so I'm used to every size, from big dogs to little ones, and to training basics like leash manners and commands. I'm also a longtime cat person who knows how to give cats the routine, space and gentle attention they like. I treat every pet like family and send photo and video updates so you can relax while you're away. Your home is in good hands too. I'm tidy and responsible, and your pets and I will happily hold down the fort :) My schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time for pets. I'm usually free during the day (I work a night shift) and can do walks, drop-in visits, housesitting and overnights. Just let me know your dates and I'll confirm quickly, and I'm happy to work around your routine. Your pet's safety comes first. I'm first aid certified with vet knowledge, and I'm comfortable giving medication, including injections. I keep dogs leashed or supervised, double-check doors and gates, and follow your routines. In your home I keep things tidy and secure, and I send photo and video updates.
About: Hello there, my name is Cass! I am a huge animal lover looking to help you take care of your animals! I have a very calming energy and do well with dogs who might struggle with anxiety or can be initially reactive when meeting new people. I have been caring for different animals for over 15 years including cats, dogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, and lizards. I am extremely reliable and easy going, with tons of references on my abilities on house and pet care. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I currently work full time out of the house, which means I can be out of the house for up to 8 hours at a time. If your dog cannot be left for that long I may not be the best fit. I have some flexibility to drop in mid day if certain situations require it. I am a very experienced house-sitter which means I will “move in” to your home and take care of your pets as my own! Walks/feedings/medications all a priority while also staying the night for companionship. I am a very trustworthy, attentive care-giver. You will have nothing to worry about if I am taking care of your pets in your home. I have strong attention to detail and will always make sure everything is safe and protected while in my hands
“Courtney looked after our two cats as our first 'cat-sitter' at home. I was a bit nervous using Rover for a first time, but Courtney is so mature & responsible, I already felt at ease within minutes of meeting her. She was so great with the cats, as both were a bit hesitant at first but warmed up to her after getting spoiled all weekend. She is a true animal lover and has a natural ability to connect with our cats. The cats definitely appreciated her visits and cannot wait to see her again!”

About: Trust, honesty, and reliability are at the heart of how I care for your home and furry companions. I believe every pet deserves genuine attention, quality time, and a safe, comfortable space to be themselves. Whether it's getting outside for an adventure, enjoying some playtime and cuddles, or simply having a little company, I want to make sure your pets feel happy, settled, and well cared for while you're away. I take pride in being attentive to each pet's individual needs and respecting their routines, personalities, and little preferences. My goal is to make your time away a little easier, knowing your home is respected and your furry family members are in good hands! 🐾🐶🐱✨ I just moved to Victoria, so I'm looking for work until I start school in January. I am hoping that this turns into my main gig while I'm in school! Honesty and reliability are core values of mine, and I bring them into every home and every interaction with your furry companions. You can expect thoughtful, attentive care, plenty of quality time, and a genuine effort to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your companions are in caring, trustworthy hands!
About: I’ve raised my dog since he was a puppy and he lives with me. Trust I can understand how much commitment and energy a dog needs. Let me help you provide that:) I’m currently working part time and am a full time student. Usually evenings are my best time or afternoons. Weekends I have a lot more flexibility if you need a date night or anything:)! I live in an apartment and currently make sure my dog gets his play time and his walk times needed. I’ll make sure your dog has a good time while getting the necessary things they need.

About: Pet Sitting/Walking Services - Dogs & Cats I grew up surrounded by dogs and have spent the past couple of years caring for both dogs and cats of close friends. I currently live in a pet-free apartment, so I have turned my love for dogs and cats into a mobile pet-care service, travelling to owners' homes to provide in-home sitting, playtime, and attentive supervision for their beloved companions. I have house-sat for friends during week-long trips, taking care of everything from feeding and litter-box cleaning to playtime and plant watering. I am comfortable working with any breed - big or small, energetic or senior - and I always discuss each pet's preferences, potential triggers, and health concerns with owners before the first visit. My top priority is always your pet's well-being. I meticulously follow the owner's instructions, ensuring food, water, litter, and any special routines are completed. Beyond meeting basic needs, I dedicate quality one-on-one time to each pet, observing body language and offering gentle affection to create a trusting bond. Please note: I do not have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, or insulin. If you need a caregiver with those specific skills, I recommend exploring the many qualified Rover sitters who specialize in medication administration. I am currently working part-time between 15-20 hours per week. While my weekly schedule is quite dynamic and changes from week-to-week, I do my best to update my Rover calendar availability based on my work shifts and pet sitting engagements. The only pet sitting requests that I may not be able to accommodate are for pets that may not be left alone for less than 4 hours. I unfortunately cannot bring pets to my workplace, and it would not be fair for them to be left alone for longer than they're accustomed to, if I am scheduled for a minimum 4 hour shift. I treat every pet like a cherished family member, offering the same love, patience, and attention you would provide at home. After each visit, I record the pet's likes, dislikes, quirks, and any health observations, creating a 'Pet Profile' that lets me anticipate and meet your pet's needs on every future booking. Owners can expect to receive real-time updates including photos, videos, texts, or phone calls, so you can relax knowing exactly how your companion is doing. I am also an avid plant lover. I am happy to water and tend to any houseplants after your pet's needs are met, keeping your entire home thriving while you are away!
About: I’m a friendly, dedicated animal lover who is extremely flexible. I’ve raised a family of 3 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats — a true multitasker! I’m quite flexible with my schedule and am available at short notice. I’m here to help support you and your pets to stay healthy and happy. I have vast experience with both small & large dogs and cats including playing with, feeding, giving regular medication (both orally, topically and injections), grooming and providing a loving, caring and stimulating home environment.
“Christina is excellent! She watched my cat who needed eye drops 4x a day and was meticulous in her care for her. Never missed a drop and always ensured her needs were met. Will be contacting her again for house sitting and cat care!”


About: I've only done pet sitting for friends or family, but never through an app or website so this is new for me. Would love to take care of your fur babies! I do work full time but I have Thursdays and weekends off. Would love to take your dog out for a hike or snuggle your cat on the couch with a book. Will not be boarding at my place since I unfortunately don't have a large space. Happy to drive to your house when you need me!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I have two rescues (1 cat/1 dog) and they are incredibly spoiled. I’ve worked years in animal shelters, boarding kennels, and have 5 years experience in veterinary clinics. I’ve taken care of many friends’ and family’s pets before, and am very familiar with all breeds, chronic medication, and animal behaviour, as well as knowing how to respond to potential emergency situations. I am great at reading body language and assessing their needs to maintain comfort and happiness. I am a mature, kind, and responsible individual who has been trusted time and time again with other peoples’ furbabies. I love to share my affection with other animals and make them feel comfortable! I am truly happy to be surrounded by furbabies at any time. I work from home full time. I am highly mobile and my work schedule is very flexible. I can work remote from any location! :) In my home, my two are given free rein over the house, although they mostly just sleep during the day (very lazy). They are fed 3 times per day, at specific times, and Murphy gets a walk a day at minimum. In a client’s home, I would adjust to their needs and routine as per their owner’s requests and whatever the animal needs to maintain their usual level of comfort.
About: Growing up in a home that always had animals set me up for early pet responsibilities. Thriving in community service, I love the opportunity to hold safe space and care for our furry friends. Taking pets on walks is easy for me as someone who is quite active and enjoys being outdoors, is playful, and clean. I’ve bathed, walked, changed bandages, and experiences elder care. multiple daily walks, early morning starts, and ability to follow schedule/routine helps with pet care. I have an adaptable schedule, especially on weekends and love a change up in my routine revolving around helpful tasks for others. Offering service in another’s home allows for the security of the home or pet owners to trust in the safety, especially knowing a pet didn’t need to adapt to a new space. Cleanliness and respect towards another’s home are high values, and will always be honored.

We recently moved to the area and needed a new pet sitter for occasional travel. Danielle took care of our 2 cats and 2 dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She is friendly, prompt, communicative, and sent nice photos during each drop-in visit. Thanks, Danielle!

Richelle always does such a great job. She did a stop in visit today for my cat and played with her and gave her lots of attention. She always follows instructions and is great at communication and sending the cutest pictures. Highly recommend, thank you! Very happy customer. Jenn and Lilly

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.

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.
