“Shravistha and her husband were very warm and welcoming from the moment I dropped off my puppy. I explained that this was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and they were both very understanding, patient, and caring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was safe and comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. My puppy received lots of attention, affection, and excellent care. I truly appreciated the regular updates and communication. I highly recommend Shravistha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! 🐾❤️”
“Katy and Rachelle took such great care of Jet with short notice, and their dog Tater graciously shared the space! Jet was happy and healthy when I picked him up 🙂”
“Ali is so gentle and has great energy. My little girl can take longer than usual to adjust to new settings and Ali gives her the space she needs. I am so happy I found her! Thank you!”
“Bianca kindly took Pickford for the day on short notice. Communication was great and I appreciated the photos throughout the day. He seems to have settled in very quickly and we came back to a happy, rested dog. Would definitely recommend.”
“Melissa took great care of our little Luna! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous to leave our heart and soul with someone we didn’t know but Melissa was very reassuring and communicative to ease our worries and sent lots of pictures and updates! We would definitely use her again and recommend to anyone else looking for good care for their pup. :)”
About: Hi! I’m Christy. Dogs have always been part of my life, and I truly can't imagine a home without them. There's something special about each and every dog, learning their unique personality, and making them feel safe and loved. As a lifelong dog owner, I know how difficult it can be to leave your pup with someone else. That's why I care for every dog as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. I currently share my home with my friendly 10-year-old Cockapoo, Luna, who loves having canine visitors. My partner, Trevor, and I have both cared for dogs through Rover as well as for friends and family over the years, so your pup will be in experienced, caring hands. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. Walks are part of our daily routine, and we love visiting Clover Point and Dallas Road for fresh air, exercise, and lots of sniffing opportunities. Between walks, your dog will enjoy potty breaks, playtime, naps, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm also comfortable administering medications and following your dog's regular routine, so they experience as little disruption as possible. Your dog's safety and happiness are always my top priorities. We live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with an elevator, making it accessible for dogs of all ages. Our balcony has an additional safety barrier installed, and access can be supervised or restricted depending on your dog's needs. Luna is a calm, friendly Cockapoo who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her a great companion for visiting pups. I'm naturally very organized and pay close attention to the little details—from feeding schedules and medications to potty routines and favourite sleeping spots. I know every dog is different, and I'm happy to follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. As a dog owner myself, I also know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you're away. I love getting photos of Luna when I'm travelling, so I'll send regular photos and messages to keep you updated on all of your pup's adventures. If Trevor or I ever need to step out briefly, we also have indoor cameras so we can check in remotely and ensure everyone is safe and comfortable.
“Finn had a big time for his first Rover stay!! Communication was excellent. She even sent photos of the dogs playing in the back yard and Finn chewing on a toy at one point. She said he is super playful. I’m so thankful for our first stay turned out fantastic!! I can’t say enough good things about Kaori!”
“My experience with Kathy was amazing! She sent tons of daily updates and my pup got all the love and attention! Kathy is super knowledgeable about all things fur baby and will treat your pups like her own! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Finn and Kai were available for a same-day request to dogsit my Alaskan Malamute, and he came home happy as ever to have gotten to spend time with some lovely new friends! Finn and Kai were very receptive to my worries about my dog being an escape artist and somewhat reactive with other dogs. I would 110% request them to have my dog come hang out with them again should we need another sitter for him in the future :)”
“We were so happy we found Neil when we visited the Island for a hockey tournament. Our little Boston spent 3 days with him and each day we dropped her off she was so excited to see him! Neil is a very kind and caring human and his place looked very neat and tidy. Neil is a 10/10. I would highly recommend his services and we’d go back to him in a heart beat.”
“Cassidy is an absolute gem. Booking with her was easy, she was responsive and kind. When we had our meet and greet we immediately felt comfortable and Leo also took to her right away. She sent us pictures and updates during his visit. It was a real peace of mind to know that he was in such good hands. We would definitely book Leo in with Cassidy again and again.”
“Kaori and her partner are so very loving and caring with our puppy, she has had great experiences over there and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals, especially cats ans dogs and horses, and caring for them has always felt natural to me. My dream is to open my own animal rescue one day, so I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. I’m completely obsessed with my cat I even moved from France to the other side of the world with her, because leaving my baby behind was never an option 🥹 (I come from France) I’m a freelancer, so I have a very flexible schedule, especially in the afternoons and on weekends. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs, and if needed, I can even work remotely from your home so your pet has company while you’re away ! When caring for pets in their own home, I always respect the owner’s routine and instructions to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I care for every animal as if they were my own and always pay close attention to their well-being. If your cat stays at my home, I just ask that they’re comfortable around other cats, as I have a very friendly cat of my own. I don’t have a garden, but I do have a secure, enclosed balcony with protective netting, so your cat will always be safe.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Victoria is $40

We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. She is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Finn and Kai were available for a same-day request to dogsit my Alaskan Malamute, and he came home happy as ever to have gotten to spend time with some lovely new friends! Finn and Kai were very receptive to my worries about my dog being an escape artist and somewhat reactive with other dogs. I would 110% request them to have my dog come hang out with them again should we need another sitter for him in the future :)
Suzanne was exceptionally patient and kind with our dog, and it was clear she genuinely cared about him and attended to his needs. She kept us updated with photos during his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and really seemed to enjoy his time with her. We will definitely ask her to take care of him again when we come back to Victoria!
Kirsten and Guy are the kindest truest animal people and we know Poppy was in good hands. Their adorable and enthusiastic pup, Rory, was the perfect pal for the day, too. They were available for check-ins and sent pictures, we were very happy with our experience. Thanks guys!
Our 2 dogs recently spent 2 days of daycare with Ramesh and Lauren. I immediately felt very comfortable as Ramesh was calm and friendly and not fazed by their initial separation anxiety. He was quick to respond and gave us updates and photos . I knew they were in good hands especially when on day 2 they went charging into his house .I would recommend them for your pets too.
Alana was amazing with our 5 month old puppy! She sent us photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated, and it was so nice to see how happy and comfortable he was. He settled in right away and seemed completely at home with her. She also lives in a great location near a beautiful park, so he got lots of outdoor time and exercise. We picked up a happy, tired pup at the end of the day and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Ollie with Alana again. Highly recommend her!
Kristina was wonderful! Our pup warmed to her instantly and spent the whole evening snoozing at her feet. She sent us regular updates and made sure Billie had time for potty breaks. Looking forward to being back in Victoria so Billie can hang out with Kristina and Herman again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Victoria on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 286 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Victoria. About 86% of Victoria sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Victoria commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 .
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
