“Thanks so much again! We have 5 cats and they all have their own wants and needs :) Catherine has it all figured out and we know our kitties are well taken care of ♥️ We’ve booked her again already!”
“Paulina was fantastic with our cat, Rambo! This was our first time getting a sitter. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cares for animals, and we could tell Rambo was comfortable and well looked after during her visits. He even warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot! We had a wonderful experience and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Michele did a great job looking after my kitty! When Michele came over to meet her before my trip, I could tell my cat would be comfortable with her. I felt so at ease knowing she was there to look after her, and it was wonderful to get updates throughout her visits. Michele did everything I needed her to do, and will definitely use her again! Thanks Michele !”
“Holly did a great job caring for our two cats. They are fairly shy but warmed up to her fast! She was very good at communication and was attentive to all their needs. Thank you, Holly!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our cat sitter. She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and took amazing care of our cats. She even managed to win over our most shy kitty on her very last visit — no small feat! We would absolutely be happy to book her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Gwyneth house sat our 2 super senior cars while we were on vacation. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. She updated us daily with pics, she kept our house clean. The best part, I didn’t worry about the cats while I was away!!! We came home to happy cats and a clean and tidy house. We will definitely use Gwyn again for our cat sitting needs!!”
About: Hello, my name is Tory! I am 27 years old and have 120+ hours volunteering in veterinarian clinics with experience administrating medicine, cleaning kennels, and feeding animals daily. I spend most of my free time outside and live next door to Thetis Lake and would love to have your beloved dog as a companion to come along for walks or runs. I am also available for overnight house or pet sitting. I grew up on a farm where I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses and cows. Needless to say, I’m an animal lover big and small which is why I joined Rover! Although I do not have pets right now, I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. I am comfortable around small and large dogs and have experience pet and house sitting for coworkers, family, friends, and through Rover. I will always prioritize the safety and comfort of your pets in addition to providing daily walks, affection and play! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I currently work remotely with flexible hours which means I am able to adapt to your preferred schedule! I am available mornings, afternoon, or evenings. I plan on looking after your pet and home with the respect and care as if they were my own. I am able to take your dog on multiple walks and can guarantee lots of attention.
“Never had our cat be so comfortable and happy when we got home from being away. Usually he is quite upset with us and avoids us for the first 24 hours. But thanks to Sylvia, he was a happy little guy as soon as we walked in the door. Very much recommended.”
“Stephanie is truly experienced and incredibly diligent. She took excellent care of my cat and went above and beyond by sending frequent updates, which really helped ease my nerves while I was away. She was very attentive and happy to follow even the smallest instructions to make sure my cat was comfortable and entertained during my absence. My cat is usually timid with strangers, but she seemed to feel comfortable with Stephanie almost immediately, which says a lot. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a teen. Over the years I’ve had cats, dogs, horses, birds, and all sorts of rodents. I have housesat and cared for dogs in my own home. I have worked on farms taking care of horses! I am comfortable getting into the thick of it, not afraid to get dirty going for adventures and walking dogs off leash. I work full time Monday - Friday so am available to house sit on weekdays but not around during the day! In the evenings and weekends I like to relax at home and go for walks. Happy to cuddle with your animals and make sure they get attention :) If animals come to my house - I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs, a cat, and pet doves. If this wouldn’t work for your pet, I can come to your place and take care of them!
About: To me, a day with animals is the best day. I’ve been caring for fur babies in various ways for over a decade. Me and my soul dog, Cali were always looking for new adventures, with new friends, and I found myself doing something that truly made my heart happy! I lost my Cali girl earlier this year due to old age, and bless her heart for opening my eyes to how much I truly love and care about animals. I have experience with various breeds of dogs and also all of the cats! I’ve volunteered with rescues, and with FLED, and helped locate missing animals as well. I have a way with animals and feel like I can internally connect with them, and build trust quickly. I am currently working full time so I have time for pet care after 5pm on weekdays, or on the weekends. This includes house visits and bio breaks, a walk, or overnight boarding. I live in a townhouse style apartment with access to a yard for easy bathroom breaks! If you are considering me for overnight care, I do have an indoor cat who likes dogs very much, but it’s important that the dog staying is used to cats so we can keep our home calm and positive for everyone. I love to walk and hike so there will never be a dull moment! I have extensive experience with animals needing various kinds of medication, including injections and am confident in administering those. I have a very soft spot and a tremendous amount of patience for our seniors. After having my lab through all stages of life I see the extra care and attention that seniors need and don’t mine “slowing things down” to match that.
“Maia was great checking in on my cat and alleviated a lot of stress for him when I was out of town. Maia is a true animal lover and my cat was comfortable with her right away. She is reliable, communicates well, and follows all the instructions for your pet. I am looking forward to her caring for my cat again.”
About: I have not owned a cat in many years but always enjoy their company. Even the most unsocial cats seek out affection and attention for me. I have been involved with farming and farm sitting since I was a child. I work a couple of part time jobs in healthcare. My schedule for meeting with clients is flexible and can easily be worked around pet care commitments. I have walking trails and a fenced dog park in my neighbourhood. I have a spacious home and areas of my home can be closed off in order to assure a safe environment when I am not able to be around to observe the pets in my care directly.
“We left on a week trip and were lucky to find Megan. She was punctual great with communication and did everything we had asked plus more. Both our kitties were well fed and had clean boxes when we returned home. Would recommend and know who we will reach out to for our next trip.”
“Bryce was great with my dog who needs extra care with his health issues.. he left my place cleaner than I left it and even saved me a vet visit with his medical knowledge. He will be my first call next time I am out of town!”
“Our cat was well taken care of with Caitlin! We got lots of updates and she took great care of our home while we were away. Would definitely recommend Caitlin if you are looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ramesh took great care of William. Lots of updates and pictures while I was away. Very good communication and flexible with pick up times. William returned happy and relaxed! Would recommend :)”
About: I have always grown up with animals - dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragons.. and have house sitted and cared for friends animals (and plants!) across England, Australia, USA and Canada. I am an avid hiker and also city stroller - keen to take your dog on a big hike or little guy on a stroll along the beach. Happy to practice commands and any tricks youve been teaching your guy. I am taking the winter off from my usual line of work, so my schedule is fully open. I co-parent two cats with my partner in Victoria, BC and have been missing the companionship of some dogs around me. I like going for long walks almost every day after recently completing the PCT and happy to bring your dog along for some of my longer or shorter walks. I am a routine loving person and happy to adapt to your already established routine with your pet. I can keep things comfortable and consistent, from the length of walks to feeding time. Beyond pet care im happy to bring your mail in, water your plants and keep your place clean and secure.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - View Royal
Lynsay did an amazing job caring for my cat during a few days of drop-in visits. Her communication was always prompt and clear, and she shared wonderful photos of him while I was away. I returned to a spotless home and a very happy cat. Lynsay genuinely cares about animals, and she was professional throughout. I'll definitely be booking with Lynsay again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in View Royal choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
