“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!”
“Sandeep is an amazing person, trustworthy and very responsible. During the day he sent me pictures and was very attentive. For me it was difficult because it was the first time I gave someone my dog Kira who means the world to me, but Sandeep gave me calm since I gave Kira to him, I knew she was going to be in good hands and she was! Thank you Sandeep for your amazing service, I would definitely book again.”
“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!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. A former owner of a golden retriever, I have been counted on to look after friends, family and coworkers dogs for a number of years. I have downloaded Rover to get the chance to meet new friends (dogs and people) since moving to Victoria from Ottawa this fall. While I am job searching for a permanent gig, let me take your dog out on some adventures so they can show me around. Also happy to be a chill at home if they prefer as well. I’m currently job searching for full time work in Victoria since moving from Ottawa. In the meantime, I’ll have free time to watch your dog. Explore or chill at home, up to them (and you)! I have a specious one bedroom apartment that I share with my girlfriend. We both love dogs and are always happy to welcome a new friend into our home!
“Rachel and her family took great care of my dog, going on long walks, taking her to the beach, and taking her in the car when they went places. They made sure my pup was happy, healthy, and safe.”
About: I worked in pet shops and clinics back in Brazil, had two cats on my own, and I love animals since I was a child. I enjoy spend calm time with animals, playing and walking. I work at evenings shifts and my partner work from home. I can walk animals before my other job and can look after them at home. I live in a condo and can spare a room for the animal if it needs more space. I can walk long distances. I would prefer to walk only one or two animals at a time.
“Kristina was fabulous with our dog. She sent us so many photos and we knew he was in such good care. She was very communicative and went above and beyond in client service. Thank you Kristina!”
“Alexa took super care of my cat Remi, she sent me pictures all the time and supplied a litter box as well as a bunch of other stuff. She made the process super easy and personable. I would highly recommend using her. Thanks again Alexa!”
“Angela & her partner were so so lovely! I got cute photos & updates and they were super flexible when I was running late to pick my dog up from them. Would totally use again!! Thanks so much Angela!”
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.
“We left our little boy with them for a couple of days, and they did an excellent job. He made a new friend with their dog, looked really happy when we picked him up, and we had good communication throughout. Thank you so much”
“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”
“Katy and Rachelle responded quickly to our last minute request and took very good care of our 6 month old puppy. We received regular updates with pictures confirming she was doing well and feeling right at home. Oakley didn't want to leave when we came to pick her up.”
“We were a little worried about leaving our dog Murphy with a family he had only just met.... for 11 days. But, we needn't have been concerned at all. We received lots of pictures and comments during our time away, and it was very evident that Murphy was one of the family, having a wonderful time. Their dog Rory is very accepting of other dogs and was wonderful with Murphy. We would not hesitate to recommend this family and we will definitely book with them again.”
About: I grew up with a rescue dog and multiple cats, and I've been around animals my whole life. I currently live with and co-trained a high energy German Shepherd/Malinois cross, so I'm very comfortable with daily exercise routines and handled her recovery after major knee surgery. I've taken on the sole care of a senior cat whose owner had to unexpectedlyleave the province for a year, I frequently sit for my relatives' cats, and have stepped in to care for a neighbour's Chihuahua when they had a medical emergency. I like to meet animals where they are at. cuddling the ones who want attention and giving space to the ones who need it, while figuring out their individual personalities. I work 9-5 in town, have a car, so am open to drop ins around those hours and overnight stays. I also live in a house with a fenced backyard with my good friend who is home during the day and happy to help sitting if you are looking for more full-time boarding. Depending on the service, I keep things pretty adaptable. If they are staying at my place, I make sure they get plenty of time to decompress, utilize the fenced yard, and stick to a comfortable routine. If I'm staying at your house, I respect your space and your pet's normal habits. Because I pay close attention to animal body language, I'm quick to notice subtle signs if they are feeling stressed, anxious, or unwell, and I'll adjust accordingly.
“Chris and Amy and the whole family are so great! Cedar was so well cared for and most importantly, he was given all the love and snuggles he needed! We will definitely book with them again!”

Maddison is always so wonderful - we’ve had her watch our dog several times now and have had such a great experience every time! She has great communication, such positive energy, and is incredibly kind. Being able to go on vacation and genuinely not worry about whether our dog is happy and well cared for is such a blessing. We always know he’s in great hands with her. Thanks so much, Maddison :)
Anqian and Alexandre were wonderful with Ellie! She is typically very nervous away from home, as she has separation anxiety, but Anqian and Alexandre made her feel right at home! We are very grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend their services!
This was the first time we used Rover and Kathy and my wife and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Kathy was so easy to communicate with and sent regular updates. One of my chihuahuas can be a bit feisty and when I went to pick him up, Kathy and him seemed like best friends. Can’t wait to use Kathy again soon.
My 2 babies spent 4 days with Christina and they had a blast! She is communicative, thoughtful, and took them on so many adventures! Every photo I could tell how happy they were, and they came back to me fully themselves, not out of sorts at all. We HIGHLY recommend and will absolutely book again if we are in the area. Thank you, Christina!
Christy and Trevor were fantastic! They were so relaxed we felt comfortable and had great trust in them to take care of our puppy. Christy kept us in the loop the whole time sharing pictures and progress updates as our 11month old spent her first night away from us. We would certainly recommend and use them again :)
Iris did a great job with our bernedoodle. We left her with Iris for 17 days and she appeared content and well adjusted when we returned from our time away. Sona got along with Iris’ dog Ash, who is very friendly. Iris has a nice yard for the dogs to play in. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Iris. It is clear that she loves dogs and we are lucky to have found her.
Our beagle had a wonderful time with Ida! And with her beautiful dog. So grateful to find Ida last minute. She gave us regular updates, and photos. They went for lots of walks and Eli really had a good time. Ida was super attentive and easy to communicate with and is a lovely human! Would highly recommend her!
My wife and I recently left our Obi with Lucas for a long weekend. It was our first foray into the world of Rover and we were not disappointed. Lucas was extremely professional from start to finish. He clearly loves animals of all types and we wouldn't hesitate using his services again.
Stacey is our go-to sitter for our corgi Valkyrie. Val has been enough times that at the most recent drop-off, she didn't even look back at us when we left haha. She always has a really good time, and my spouse and I have peace of mind knowing our dog is getting great care from someone we trust.

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
