“Huxley had a great time at Andrea's. Andrea doesn't over treat which in Huxley's case very good. Daily walks morning, afternoon and evening. The pictured shoed Huxley resting and laid back. I know he was well looked after to him Andrea's home felt like home.”
“Kelsey was wonderful overall! She gave daily updates, took my dog on walks, and was very flexible and easy to work with and clearly someone who truly loves animals. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend! I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Finding the right caretaker for my girl Rosie - who can be very shy and nervous around new places and spaces, and experience stress while we are apart. I wanted to ensure she would be with the best caretaker, and this was particularly important as I planned to be away for an extended period over the holidays. Thankfully, I came across Heather’s reviews and was able to connect with them before boarding Rosie. This provided me with a sense of relief and assurance to know she would be in a loving home. Rosie experienced an exceptional level of care and love and grew comfortable and content under Heather’s care. From daily walks and adventures to routine brushing, and homemade broth; Rosie was such a happy girl! Her sweet, loving, and active personality got to shine including her beautiful coat! Beyond grateful I had connected with Heather - I highly recommend her services. We will certainly be repeat customers.”
“We boarded our shy rescue dog Russer with Kendall for two weeks, and she is the absolute best. We had sent Russer to do a trial sleepover with Kendall a couple weeks prior, which was very beneficial as it takes time for Russer to trust new people. Kendall was very patient with him and she was so proud of the progress he made each day. Kendall gave us the perfect amount of updates on Russer along with pictures/videos, and made sure to always follow our care instructions. It was easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Russer was in good hands. Kendall’s love and passion for animals is clear in the care she provides. I highly recommend Kendall, and our future vacations will be planned around her availability.”
“Daisy and her family looked after our little rascal Toby and he had a wonderful time. He is still wandering around looking for Nina and Sonia! A lovely family home very amenable to dogs - Toby had lots of good walks, play time and cuddles. Perfect in every way 🐶”
“Our dog stayed a week with Alex and we’re quite sure she had a fantastic time. We also suspect she is a bit disappointed to have had to leave! Alex was attentive to our dog’s specific needs, provided regular photos and was very responsive. We wouldn’t hesitate to have our dog stay with him again! Thanks Alex!”
“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!”
“Such a wondering experience . Natalie saved us after our regular gal wasn’t able to take our dog last min. She provided regular updates and was super responsive. Our old guy was well taken care of and will definitely send him back to her next time.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“Vicki took great care of our 1 year old Maltese. Her and Henry were great playmates. It was a great vacation for our little girl. Vicki took great care and sent photos , videos and messages daily. It was a great relief to hear she was happy and having fun. We felt very comfortable with Vicki and that our baby was in good hands.”
“Holly was wonderful with our cat who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Our cat is leery of strangers and since being diagnosed, she is highly stressed and not easy to manage. Holly was extremely patient and never gave up on her. At the end of four days, our cat was affectionate with Holly and loved being petted. Holly even managed to administer insulin injections, and her no-nonsense approach and perseverance paid off. We received pictures and videos which kept us in the loop with everything that was going on. We are very happy with Holly’s care!”
“Michaela and Ben were absolutely amazing! We needed a sitter for our wedding and Michaela came and picked up Moose. The entire stay we got regular updates and Moose looked like she was living her best life.”
“Alisa did me a huge favour by watching my dog, Mylo overnight so that my partner and I could attend our friend’s going away party. She provided excellent care for my dog, took him on nice walks, and sent very cute photos and text updates so I knew my pet was in good hands. I highly recommend Alisa to care for your dog if you are in search of pet care now or in the future.”
“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!”
“My dog has been left with strangers during day and friends at night and seems to do fine. But strangers overnight was rough for him and gave him a nervous stomach. Marlisa was very gracious and helped him feel more settled. She also paid careful attention to his medical notes. Would highly recommend as someone that will care well for your pet.”
“Criofan took excellent care of Handsome! He had a lot of fun, and her well-trained delightful dog is H's new bestie. She was responsive, intuitive, and attentive, ensuring that H fit in, and that he remembered to eat! He came home from his adventure tired but happy. The dream! Thank you!”
“Ida took such great care of our girl - she went on so many fun adventures, even a trip out to a pet-friendly restaurant! Her time was full of play with her girl Nala, so she came home absolutely pooped. She sent many photo updates to keep us at ease at how our baby was doing. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

Aurora was the perfect sitter for my pup while I was off backpacking for a week. She was home during the days and brought my pup on beach and trail adventures every day - exactly the care she needs! She was the perfect fit for my pup who is a bit older, weary of other dogs, and very attached to humans. She made her feel loved and safe by giving her a lot of care and attention. I could tell by the photos that Aurora sent and when picking up my pup that she had a great time! I appreciate how flexible, timely, and communicative Aurora was from booking all the way to pickup. Will definitely book with her again next time I need a sitter near Victoria!
We recently left our dog with Lauren for 2 whole weeks! We'd never left her this long with anyone and it was our first time using a Rover sitter for her. Lauren put us at ease by making time to meet with her long before we booked. We were invited into her home and shown her backyard, time to chat and ask questions. One of my main concerns in leaving our dog was that she has a gastro issue and therefore needs to eat multiple smaller meals throughout the day. The questions she had for us indicated a level of care, experience and dedication that I hadn’t seen in meeting previous Rover sitters. Anyone who has a fur baby knows its not easy to leave them with someone. It can cause a lot of anxiety for us humans, as well as our little ones. We were so happy with the care and love Lauren provided to her. She sent us multiple updates a day with amazing photos, which put our minds at ease. We were also in a different time zone, and Lauren still ensured we were kept up to date. Our pup enjoyed her own vacation, meeting new dog friends for walks and Lauren let her sleep in the bed! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals and can't praise her enough! I think they developed a sweet bond and we are so grateful. Thank you so much again, Lauren!
Neil was absolutely amazing! Not only did our dog instantly fall in love with him (which is a HUGE deal if you know our dog) but throughout the sit, Neil was diligent, communicative, and kept our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. We will definitely book with him again!
A very loving, gentle and caring sitter. Someone who I can be stress free with when I leave my dog with them! They were very accommodating and thoughtful when it came to specific needs and overall care. Always communicative and kept me well updated during my dogs sitting period. 100% would rebook with her, she was just an amazing and easy person for dog sitting.
Shravistha and her husband took such wonderful care of my two senior dogs. They were both incredibly warm, kind, and accommodating from start to finish. My older dog has been with me her whole life and is quite comfortable with dog sitters, and she had a lovely time with them. My newer dog was having her very first overnight stay with pet sitters, and S and her husband went above and beyond to help her feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a new environment. They kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that both dogs were receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. When I picked them up, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Shravistha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you both for taking such great care of my girls!
erry took wonderful care of our 15-year-old dog for nearly two weeks. Our senior girl had special feeding requirements and some newly diagnosed medical issues that required extra attention, and Terry handled everything with care, patience, and professionalism. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which helped us stay connected and reassured that our dog was happy and well cared for while we were away. Knowing Terry was paying such close attention to her needs allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without worrying. We are incredibly grateful for the care Terry provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!
Can’t really say enough about Agnes. Our nervous, allergy affected dog just loves her, as do we. Maggie is so well cared for when we leave her for a week with Agnes. Our directions are followed carefully, lots of fun walks and loads of love & affection at home. Highly recommend Agnes (& the added bonus of Agnes’ equally attentive and caring daughter!!)
Ida was calm and professional with my barky/reactive blue heeler right away on our first intro walk. I knew the dogs would be in good hands. Ida sent pictures and a little note by text every night to give me updates on the day. She stayed at our house while we were away. She left it very tidy and made it easy for us when we returned home. Very trustworthy and a class act. The dogs had big smiles on their faces after their time with her. High recommend her.
Sandeep took excellent care of Mocha and Bailey while we were away on our 2 week vacation. He sent us photos and videos everyday which brought us great joy and comfort. You can tell Sandeep strongly cares for animals. I would strongly recommend Sandeep to anyone looking for a genuine caring dog sitter.

As of June 2026, there are 383 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
- 88% 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.
