“Rojin took wonderful care of our little dog, Paulo. She was reliable, kind, and clearly very caring with him. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Katy & Rachelle were great daycare hosts for our Pepper! They sent us photos throughout the day which helped ease our mind and let us know that she was well taken care of and doing okay. Would definitely book with them again :) Thank you!”
“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!”
“Daniely took such great care of our little Maya! As a three month old, Maya requires consistent attention and care, and is still learning biting inhibition and walking. Daniely was patient with Maya's needs and gave regular updates throughout the day; she's also great at communicating and responds promptly, which is helpful to anxious parents! We also appreciate that Daniely took our last-minute booking and schedule changes, her flexibility was a welcome asset. Will definitely book again!”
“Finn and Kai were great with my reactive dog. It’s always tricky finding the right people to take on that challenge. They are conveniently located near a very pet-friendly hotel (Hotel Zed) so it worked super-well for our weekend trip to Victoria.”
About: New clients on Rover can use my coupon code “ ARISAF94292” for $20 discount. I’ve had quite a bit of experience dog sitting and cat sitting for friends and my boss, often caring for multiple pets at the same time. I genuinely love being around animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I also have a 7-year-old Toy Poodle of my own, so I’m very familiar with the day-to-day responsibility of caring for a pet. He has a very strict diet, and I always need to keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn’t pick up or eat anything he shouldn’t. Because of this, I’m used to staying attentive and keeping an eye on pets throughout the day. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to the little things, and I always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well loved. 🐾 I currently work part-time online from 4–7 p.m., so I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and keep an eye on your pups throughout the day. There’s also a dog park nearby, so I can take them out for a walk and some playtime during the day. I’m available for boarding most days of the week, and even while I’m working, I’m able to stay home with the pets. I love having animals around and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and company throughout the day. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, and this is actually my preference as my apartment is fairly small. I find that staying in their familiar environment can also help pets feel more comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. When staying at a client’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special care or medication they need. I have a 7-year-old Toy Poodle named Mickey who is very friendly. For overnight house sitting, I’m available if Mickey is able to come with me, or if your home is close enough to mine that I can easily go back and forth to feed and care for him. I would always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure the arrangement works well for everyone.
“Andrea has been so patient with our new puppy, she treats her as if she was a part of the family. I have no doubt Nyx is already looking forward to her next visit!”
“Christy was great with Steiner, our one year-old puppy, who is still learning how to behave. Christy lives very close to all the activities in Victoria, B. C., so dropping Steiner off was so easy. Thank you for taking care of our puppy, Christy.”
“Ramesh and Lauren are amazing. They were able to help my anxious dog settle in quick. After a couple visits he was excited to go over to their place. They were able to keep me up to date during the day to settle an anxious owner. Ramesh was quick to respond and worked to help me cover my needs. I am excited to have my dog back with them when I need them!”
“We were in a crunch when our dog unexpectedly developed anxiety after a relocation to Victoria. Joseph was able to offer a meet and greet and subsequent day of day care very quickly, which really helped us out! He was great with our dog Kevin; very patient which helped with his separation anxiety, and sent me lots of great photos from their day together! I would book Joseph again and would recommend him for pet sitting 😊”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked with horses for five years and have spent the last three years working with and around dogs. I also raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, who is now a government-certified service dog. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine through walks, enrichment, training, and personalized care. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and giving every pet individual attention. I provide attentive, personalized care in every home. With parks, trails, and Beacon Hill nearby, pets enjoy safe walks, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection.
“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.”
“New to Victoria and had to find a sitter for my pup while the movers were here and Josh was the perfect fit. He listened to Baxter’s needs when voiced and took him for many walks which made Baxter a very happy and tired little pup. Since we lived close he even dropped him off. Josh is the best!”
“Chrystalla took amazing care of our dog when we visited Victoria and needed a safe place to leave Luna for few hours. Her place is conveniently located close to Empress hotel and waterfront. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
About: I grew up with at minimum 4 dogs at all times, ranging from Border collies, to Shepard mixes, to Jack Russell and fox terriers. I learned from a young age the best way to train dogs specific to their breeds and personalities and I have lots of experience caring for pups from the day they were born into old age. I understand the importance of exercise, routine and play for our furry friends. I say I have 7 years of experience caring for pets, but really it is 30+ years at this point, the 7 years comes from a boom in friends getting dogs and the beginning of me taking care of their pets when they go on vacation, have family/medical emergencies etc. I live less than a block from a park that is off-leash-optional (the park has a cute communal dog toy box also) and I live in a quiet neighbourhood where I can stroll with your pup on-leash for exercise if that is preferred. I also carry my own pups to designated off leash areas where they can run forest trails with me, or just hike around. Depending on your pups needs and what you and I discuss, play/exercise time for your pup may involve all three. My home has a fenced in back yard which is great for toilet breaks and serves as a play area also, if your pup is so inclined :) I have two pups of my own, a Border Collie and a Wire Haired Griffon, both friendly gals, the Border Collie is becoming a senior gal and generally pays no attention to other dogs past an introductory sniff, the Griffon is 4 years old and loves to play if your pup is willing, if not, no issues, she is not forceful in anyway. I can say with confidence that your pups will be in safe hands,well taken care of and loved while I am looking after them. I work a flexible schedule from my home office. My doggy caring day typically starts with at least a 30 - 40 min neighbour hood walk before 8:00 am. Backyard toilet and exercise breaks around 10:00. 30 - 40 min neighbourhood/park lunch walk around noon. More toilet/stretch the legs breaks around 2:00. Off-leash Forest walk around 4:30/5:00 (Or on-leash depending on the pup, and if a forest walk doesn't suit, then more time in the beautiful neighbourhood often heading to a larger fenced in municipal park about 10 mins walk away) Obviously, meals are given as per your pups schedule and lots of treats throughout the day (unless you tell me not to) I have a fully fenced in back yard, with two friendly pups for company for your pup. The house itself is very dog friendly, pups are allowed onto the couch, but not the beds or other furniture. There are many dog beds in various rooms for pooches to sleep in as they wish. When walking/exercising your dog, I will only walk your dog on-leash in the neighborhood and in any area that is not well fenced in. If your dog is reactive, timid, has any health concerns we can discuss and I will be sure to adjust my routine around those needs. I will do exactly what you ask of me when it comes to feeding, play, keeping your pup on-leash, treats etc. Should the unlikely happen and I need to bring your dog to a vet unexpectedly, I will have your contact details, your vets contact details and I live within 5 mins drive of the emergency vet hospital. Your pup will be well looked after.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Victoria
Rojin was so kind and patient with my dog who was healing from an injury. He visited her for doggy daycare during the day when I was at work, and she took extra care to make sure he was comfortable, calm, and taken care of. She communicated and checked in throughout the day. I’d highly recommend Rojin and Cookie as excellent Rover hosts. ❤️🐶
We were in a crunch when our dog unexpectedly developed anxiety after a relocation to Victoria. Joseph was able to offer a meet and greet and subsequent day of day care very quickly, which really helped us out! He was great with our dog Kevin; very patient which helped with his separation anxiety, and sent me lots of great photos from their day together!

Ramesh and Lauren (and their sweet cats) were wonderful with our senior dog. They accommodated us on short notice and took fantastic care of her. On both stays she came home happy and relaxed, and we felt completely confident leaving her in their safe, trustworthy hands. We’d happily book with them again!
Allison and Tarun were very kind and attentive to our little dog’s needs. He was just after dental surgery and he was a last minute booking too. We felt they listened to what Scotty’s character and mannerisms were and they adhered to our wishes for his care. I liked that they also had a baby gate to ensure that he didn’t do a Houdini act! We would definitely book with them again for Scotty. Thank you Allison and Tarun.
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!
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!

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

There are 280 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Victoria. About 84% 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.
