“Alma was fantastic with Drax and Essie. She was dependable, communicated throughout each visit, and always sent photos and updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear the dogs were comfortable with her and well looked after. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands and will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommended!”
“Kate did an amazing job taking care of our cat Sid while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and detailed every visit. He was fortunate to have Kate checking in on him. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
About: Hello there, my name is Cass! I am a huge animal lover looking to help you take care of your animals! I currently separated from my kitty due to not having a pet friendly home so I would love to spend some time with your pets in your home! I can provide evening dog walking, and stay overnights. I have an early morning job but am usually available after 3pm and also available on my off days all day long! 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, but I have tons of time in the morning and evenings for dog-walking. I am also open to living in your home while you are away to take care of your pets. Or even drop in check-ins to ease your mind while you are away 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
“Sarah is always reliable and available to answer questions while you are away on holidays and follows through with what she says she will. She is a hard worker and truly loves animals. My pets lover her!”
About: With over five years of dedicated experience in animal care, including pet retail, I'm known as the "animal whisperer" for my calm and loving approach with all animals, even the most nervous pets. My lifelong passion for animals began with countless hours volunteering at shelters as a child and continued through my teen years at vet clinics. A highlight was a two-week volunteer experience with 127 sled dogs in the Yukon, an unforgettable adventure. This foundation, combined with three years of retail experience at a well-known pet company, has honed my skills in caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I pride myself on building strong bonds not only with pets, but with their owners too. Starting in August I will be available daily! For the time being I’m currently working Monday to Friday 8-4. Im available on weekdays in the evenings, and am flexible on the weekends! I’d love to help you out in any way possible. My "animal whisperer" reputation stems from fostering secure, loving environments. I gather crucial details for personalized care, maintain open communication for owner peace of mind, and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cherished. In the client’s home, I prioritize their routine and comfort. I meticulously follow feeding/medication schedules, use secure leashes, and can provide regular updates with photos. My calm demeanor helps nervous pets. I respect your home, ensuring security and cleanliness.
About: 💜 I am a kind and affectionate individual who treasures spending time with furry friends 💛 I adore spending quality time with pups and kitties of all breeds and sizes 🩵 I have a great amount of experience, having spent the last 18 months pet-sitting across Western Canada: across the Okanagan Valley, in and around Calgary, and now in beautiful Victoria My daily and weekly schedule is based around the kitties and pups that I care for 🐾 Whether I am pet-sitting in your home, dropping into your home for a visit, or collecting a pooch for their dog walk, my commitment to you and your fur baby is my top priority 💚 For me, following the instructions each pet parent provides is paramount 📝 Each four-legged friend (and their home) is different, so I will always tailor everything accordingly 🧡 Whether that's a more relaxed schedule for a senior feline or doggo, or a more active schedule for an energetic pooch 🐶😺
“Karin was fantastic! My girl Gertie warmed to her instantly and I felt so confident leaving them together, which means a lot as it was my first time and Gertie is quite anxious. They had a great time together and I could tell that Gertie had fun - I am so grateful. We've already booked additional visits together - I would highly recommend Karin.”
About: I live for cats and love them all! Will treat your pets as if they were my own and shower them with love and affection. Grew up having cats, dogs, ducks and bunnies — big love for all the little critters. I work from home right now and have one cat (Stormy) who lives with me. I am available any day of the week that you need. I live in a small studio and do not currently care for client’s pets in my home. I will gladly come to yours so you pet can stay in their familiar environment and has all their comforts.
“Madeline took wonderful care of our toy poodle, Ziggy, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. This was Ziggy’s first time being left alone with a sitter, so we were a bit nervous—but she immediately put both us and Ziggy at ease. She took him out for a walk, spent quality time playing with him, and gave him lots of cuddles and attention. It was clear from his behavior that he genuinely enjoyed her company and felt comfortable with her. Madeline is incredibly sweet, responsible, and attentive. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Kate and Grant are fabulous humans who looked after our kitties as if they were their own. They kept us up to date and let us know how our fur babies were doing. I highly recommend them, and they are now our go-to pet sitters. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who will take the best care of your pets, they are the ones!”
About: Growing up, we’ve always had dogs. I’ve always gotten to walk them (2 at a time), and now, I also love walking friends’ dogs with them! I always work from home, part time, with a flexible schedule, so apart from the occasional meeting here in or there, I’m almost always available. Every pet is unique, so I coordinate with the owner to see what the pet needs. When I meet a pet for the first time, I give them the space necessary for them to feel comfortable, and wait for them to reach out.
“Silvia and Andrea did a great job during their check ins. They provided lots of pictures showing me they had a great time and made our pup’s middle of the work day a lot more exciting :)”
“Stephanie is truly experienced and incredibly diligent. She took excellent care of my cat and went above and beyond by sending frequent updates, which really helped ease my nerves while I was away. She was very attentive and happy to follow even the smallest instructions to make sure my cat was comfortable and entertained during my absence. My cat is usually timid with strangers, but she seemed to feel comfortable with Stephanie almost immediately, which says a lot. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care”
About: Hello! I absolutely love cats & dogs and have cared for animals since childhood, starting with my own family pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping friends, neighbours, and clients with dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care, including caring for a senior blind dog over the course of a summer. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and energy levels. Some pets love long walks and playtime, while others simply want calm companionship and routine. I always try to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have no pets in my home, so your pet would have a quiet environment and plenty of attention during overnight stays if needed. My schedule is flexible, and I’m typically home mornings and evenings and away for shorter periods during the afternoon. I offer 30, 45, and 60 minute walks and prefer smaller groups (2–3 dogs max) so each dog receives proper attention, safety, and care during walks. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel relaxed knowing how your pet is doing throughout the day. I’m attentive, reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is always for your pet to feel happy, safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. If I am house sitting, you will return to a clean and happy home! I would love to build long-term relationships with regular clients in Victoria and the surrounding area. I am pretty flexible as my work schedule tends to vary. I live in the Oak Bay area but am happy to travel for your pet needs. I care for pets the same way their owners would with consistency, love, and attention to detail. For in home stays: pets receive affection, playtime, and comfort. Cats have daily litter cleaning and scheduled feedings at their usual times, while dogs get two walks per day, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of pets and love. For dog walks: I make sure they’re happy and refreshed with potty breaks, light grooming if needed so they’re clean when they return, and treats or feedings as directed. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, cared for, and loved just like they are with you.
“Marcia took great care of my dear Kevin. Her updates were great. Kevin and I are pleased with the service provided. Will definitely reach out to Marcia for cat-sitting services again. Thank you!”
“Adria is wonderful! Great communication and very thoughtful in ensuring she knew all she needed about my cats. I appreciated the photos and notes, and my cats were both happy when I got home. Thanks, Adria!”
“Miriam was amazing with our fur-baby cat! I immediately felt comfortable and confident in having her check-in on Nala while we were away. I received lots of updates and pictures and Nala got lots of love! I will definitely be contacting Miriam for any future care :)”

Richelle was a terrific cat-sitter for our cat Chester. He has a few issues and not the easiest food to prepare and Richelle did everything we asked and more. She was professional and friendly and made sure to give us detailed notes on her visits, how Chester was feeling/doing, etc. Would heartily recommend Richelle anytime and will certainly ask her to come back if she's available in the future! Thank you Richelle :)
Marcia is exceptional. Professional, through and detail oriented. She went above and beyond to ensure Tiger had fun play time, snack time, dinner and her dishes clean. Tiger was so happy and purring in all photos and videos. I could tell they bonded immediately. Tiger and I were so lucky to have Marcia as a cat sitter.
Lauren takes excellent care of our cat Basil, and always includes daily photos. We are anxious pet parents so we love seeing these photos every day while we’re away. Lauren leaves our place today and neat, and always takes out the litter garbage as an added bonus. Thanks Lauren!!
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.
Danielle was fantastic! She was warm, friendly, and so gentle with our cats, Cleo and Oliver. They’re usually shy with new people, so we were amazed they both came out to greet her! She was reliable, arrived on time, and sent us a daily photo update, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and wouldn’t hesitate to book Danielle again. Thank you so much, Danielle!
Taleah was absolutely incredible with my two cats (including one very high energy kitten) and rabbit. She was kind enough to step in last minute when my sitter fell through and took such good care of the animals and house. Up and beyond! She shared lovely hilarious updates which brought some great smiles from her visits. Would highly recommend!
Maia was great checking in on my cat and alleviated a lot of stress for him when I was out of town. Maia is a true animal lover and my cat was comfortable with her right away. She is reliable, communicates well, and follows all the instructions for your pet. I am looking forward to her caring for my cat again.
Stacey is wonderful! My very elderly cat was very happy seeing Stacey twice a day and is happy and calm upon my return. Stacey sent me lovely pictures of my cat daily and I felt so confident with her care of my old girl. Stacey was so easy to talk to and her visits were just what was needed. I will definitely call on her again.

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.

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.

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.
