“Kelsey was super communicative with us and great with our dog despite his puppy nature and silly quirks! It is evident she really enjoys having dogs around and we appreciate her!”

“Anqian & Alex were incredible pet sitters and cared for Juniper like she was their own! I got the sweetest updates and pictures - and I'm not totally sure she wanted to come back home!! They went above and beyond and were so flexible. I'll definitely book again with them!”
“We went to New Zealand for 6 weeks. Alisa looked after Lucy and sent us photos. Alisa communicated often and sent us photo’s of Lucy relaxing in the house, playing with Haiko and going on walks. If I asked any questions, Alisa responded quickly. I knew that Lucy was well looked after, and because of Alisa’s care we were never worried and could enjoy our time away. I will only use Alisa and family in future to look after Lucy. I recommend Alisa highly.”
“Shravistha was incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible during a stressful moment in our trip to Victoria. As travelers with a dog, we suddenly found ourselves in a difficult situation late at night, and her quick communication and willingness to help gave us real peace of mind. Even though our plans changed afterward, we truly appreciated her understanding and support. Highly recommend!”
“Alex was amazing with Charlie. He took great care of him, sent regular updates, and I could tell Charlie was happy and comfortable. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“I highly recommend Vicky! My friend unfortunately lost my dog a few years ago and I've been incredibly nervous to leave her with anyone since and was dreading this trip. Right from first message Vicky seemed really sweet and responsive and even more so in person. After meeting her and seeing how sweet she is with her own dogs and where Rosie would be I completely stopped worrying! While away I received some smiley pics of my happy girl who looked like she was having a great time and everything went perfectly! Vicky will always be my first choice for pet sitting and I'd never hesitate to book again. Thank you Vicky! :)”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Criofan is absolutely amazing with dogs! It’s so clear how much she truly loves and cares for animals. She was incredibly dedicated to our dogs’ well-being, safety, and happiness the entire time. Her dog Albert was the perfect companion and brought so much joy, exercise, and positive energy to our dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Stephanie is awesome! She got Hank in last minute, was very flexible with excellent communication beforehand. And with her large dog experience and extensive knowledge with training, Hank had the best time! He made lots of new friends and was nice and tired when he got home. I totally recommend Stephanie. :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Victoria
Stacey and Izzy are awesome! We have 2 Mexican rescue dogs with mobility challenges and some behaviour issues, which require consistent calm yet firm attention and assistance up and down stairs. Stacey and Izzy knew exactly what to do without me having to say anything. Stacey bought a carpet for her house to help my dog walk so that her back legs don’t slide all around. Izzy was generous and shared her bed 😊Through the daily videos and pictures, it was evident that my dogs were comfortable, well cared for and they trusted Stacey. Our older dog, who does not show her belly to anyone, clearly trusted Stacey by freely presenting and enjoying a belly rub. Thank you Stacey and Izzy ❤️
We had a wonderful experience with Suzanne while we were away for 10 days. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind and let us follow along with all of our dog’s fun adventures. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We would happily book with her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Michaela! Her familiarity with Frenchies immediately put my mind at ease, and it was clear she understood their unique personalities and needs. Michaela was also incredibly accommodating when we had a less than ideal schedule change and needed an early morning drop-off. We really appreciated her flexibility and kindness. Our dog was well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Lauren’s extensive experience with pet care (including experience working in a vet hospital) set my mind at ease when I needed to find a somewhat last minute sitter for my dog Ollie, who’s in his senior years and has a sensitive little system. She was amazing with Ollie and sent lots of updates and adorable photos during their time together. I would absolutely book with Lauren again!
Alex and his fiancée were amazing with my sweet girl! I received photos and updates throughout her stay, which gave me a peace of mind. It was clear she was well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Lola!
Thank you, Geri, for taking such wonderful care of our Leo! Leo stayed with Geri for three days, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Geri was caring and attentive, provided regular updates, and sent us photos throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We always knew our dog was in safe and loving hands. We highly recommend Geri to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring companion for their dog. Thank you again for everything!
Heather and her family were amazing with our maltipoo. Due to his recent neck injury, we were looking for someone who didn't have a pet in their home. We didn't want him to get into "rough play" with another furry peer. He had a great stay, and he got to go out and about with the family. We appreciated the photos that Heather sent and the specific details in her messages. We knew by what she said that she understood our little guy's temperament and personality. We feel our senior dog was truly loved and cared for, and we have made another booking with Heather for an upcoming trip. We found her to be flexible, and she was open to us dropping by before he boarded to meet with her and her family. This gave us a great sense of the home and Heather's philosophy of pet care.
Thomas took great care of our Golden Retriever, Luigi, while we spent Canada Day exploring Victoria. It was such a relief knowing Luigi was safe and well looked after while we enjoyed the celebrations. Thomas was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We picked up a happy, relaxed dog, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Luigi with Thomas again. Highly recommend!
Rizzo had a great time with Emerald! Communication the entire time was super easy and she sent great updates and pics of my girl 😊 I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with her and she came back tired and happy from some big walks! I would definitely book Emerald again if I am in the area! This was my first time using Rover to have Rizzo stay overnight and it was a really great experience. Thanks again Emerald!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Victoria on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 376 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Victoria. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Victoria home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Victoria
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 83% 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.
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.
