About: My partner Alex and I have taken care of fluffy friends for over 2 years now. Without advertising ourselves, people genuinely go around and tell others how good their experiences were with us. As a young couple, we have always known that our travelling plans doesn’t allow us to have our own pets, but our experiences with friends’ pets gave us confidence to try taking care of others’ pets. We are more than ready to learn more about this journey too! Here is a bonus ($20 off) for our first time customer: code ANQIAW39001, on https://www.rover.com/sit/anqiaw39001. I work as an educational assistant in a secondary school and my partner is a physics PhD student at UVic. My work is 9-3 everyday and his schedule is flexible. For dogs we used to split the walks into morning walk (him) and evening walk (myself or us both). For cats it will be flexible because our schedules make it at least one of us will be at home for most of the time of the day (18-24 hours) Our apartment building is located next to several parks and a quiet residential neighbourhood where we like to walk with pets. Our apartment courtyard also has a private and secure dog run where pets can play off leash. Our apartment has multiple windows so it provides amazing view for your pets to look out and say hi to any animals passing by.
“Thank you for providing such personalized care to sweet Henrietta! I appreciate your notes about your visits and love that I can see that she is eating and playing and doing her business as if I was there with her 😀 I can tell that Henrietta enjoys your visits and is her normal, snuggly, playful self when I get back home. You're the best Sarah!”
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
“Karin was a wonderful sitter. We received daily photos and updates for Toby, and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing he was in great hands. Karin asked lots of questions during our initial meeting and Toby appeared very comfortable with her.”
About: I grew up with dogs in my family which has formed my love of pets. For the past several years, my family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to look after their dogs and cats while they are away. This ranges from a small pug, to a medium sized mixed breed dog. I have also looked after cats from kittens to older cats. I live in the Fairfield area and I have a 4 year old sweetheart golden retriever myself. My golden keeps me active going to parks and beaches in the Fairfield area so my preference is for pet sitting in this area as I am very familiar with good walking routes. I would be open to a meet and greet to see if I am a good fit for your furry family member! I'm currently going to school part time so my schedule is pretty flexible to care for your furry family member! I am available most mornings and anytime after 4pm. I am available for pet sitting Friday afternoon through to the weekend. I know its hard to leave your furry family member at home so I make it a priority to send plenty of photo and daily updates. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet to chat about your pet's perfect routine! I want to have fun with your pet so we can play games inside the house with treats (if allowed) and go for walking adventures around your neighborhood or local parks near by.
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for cats my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with their routines, personalities, and needs. In addition to cat care, I’ve walked neighbours’ dogs and I’ve also volunteered through the Elder Dog program, where I helped walk dogs for seniors. This has given me experience with pets of different temperaments and energy levels, and an understanding of the importance of gentle, consistent care. I take pride in being attentive, dependable, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and I work from home on some days, which allows flexibility for pet care during the week. I’m also available most weekdays after 4:00 pm for walks, check-ins, or sitting. I provide a calm, safe, quiet and pet-friendly environment in my home, with a large apartment and easy access to outdoor areas and walking trails.
“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!”
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*
“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.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve worked years in shelters and have 5 years experience in veterinary clinics, so in addition to my own curiosity and knowledge about dogs/cats, I have learned a lot in this time. I’ve walked/taken care of many friends’ and family’s pets before, and am very familiar with chronic medication as well as knowing how to respond to potential emergency situations. I am great at reading animal behaviour 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 largely work from home full time, but the rare day I am away in the field for work. Time from home is variable depending on the task, and can range from 2-10 hrs. Otherwise, I am doing office work at home and with my two furbabies all day! In my home, my two are given free rein over the house, although they mostly just sleep during the day. 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!
“Andrea and Silvia are so great. My elderly cat has various food and medicine protocols and they are great at keeping her on track. Very attentive and excellent communication.”
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 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.
“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.”
“Adria was amazing! My kitty was a bit spicy but she handled her with ease, and she was healthy and well taken care of on our return. We’ll definitely book again! Thanks so much Adria!”
About: I'm cat/dog sitting/walking for my friends a lot. Haven't had any issues with anyone so far. I used to have a cat of my own, too. 😸 Will be taking care of your pet just as good as you do! I work full-time 8:30 - 4:30. I have plenty of time after work, except Wednesdays, but I could shuffle around my schedule if needed 🤗 I can stay at your place and take care of the pet following your instructions. Once I had to look after a sick cat and give him meds under a set time schedule.

I will take care of your pet with responsibility and love. I always try to create a friendly environment and play with them. Me and my friends both had cat.
“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 :)”
About: I love spending time with dogs. I am an active person who is happy to walk around the block, the neighbourhood, or head out on the trails. I have a full-time job but can schedule time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings that will work for your pet. Weekends are more open but don’t hesitate to ask if dates and times will work. I am flexible! I live close to parks and walking trails. My home is on the second floor and is far from traffic and will keep your pet from sneaking away. Lots of places to relax and feel at home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Victoria
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
Marcia was absolutely wonderful with our senior kitty Nugget! I feel lucky to have found her on Rover because she goes above and beyond for her clients & their pets. I’ve had multiple pet sitters over the years but none made me feel as comfortable as Marcia did. She sent personalized updates daily with photos and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with my kitty Nugget. I absolutely recommend her!
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!
