“Andrea was great! I was traveling abroad and Andrea kept me updated on how my dogs were doing during their stay. She took very good care of them and I would definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
“Guinness really enjoyed his stay with Kevin and Kayla. He was comfortable with them from the first meet and greet, which made me feel confident in choosing them to care for him while I was away. Communication was great and made my booking super easy. I’ll definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Candy spent 3 nights with Dawn and her family. This was her very first stay over since we moved to Victoria and due to her very strict diet and her health issues, I am always considered to leave her alone without me. But Dawn took amazing care of her! She always checked in and sent infos how Candy was doing. It was such a great feeling that I could relax and not worry about how she was because I knew she gets everything that she needs; love, attention, great care. Thank you Dawn again!”
“Daisy and her family are true treasures. They have a lovely home with a fenced yard, Toby the Sheltie adored his time with them and came home a happy pup. Communication with Daisy was excellent and we appreciated the photos sent during his stay in their home. A 5 star pet sitter.”
“So thankful for the great care my dog received while staying with Helin, Seung and family while we were away for a week. I received so many smiling, happy pics of Bailey on walks, socializing with other dogs, and cuddling at home. He seemed so comfortable and fit right into their daily routine. When our flight was unexpectedly cancelled, they were so kind to have him an additional night which was such a relief. I will definitely keep this lovely family in mind for future care of our dog.”
“Michele was easy to plan a visit with before our weekend away, so my dog was more comfortable upon drop off. She shared photos, my dog looked very relaxed during her visit. (It was her first time being dog sat out of our home)”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Iris! She sent us plenty of pictures of their adventures together and Juno always had a smile on her face. We will definitely be booking Iris again!”
“Kaori was amazing! She’s super nice and accommodating and you can tell she really cares about your pups. I left my two pups with her overnight as the hotel we were staying in is not pet friendly. She sent constant updates and pictures letting me know my babies were having a blast with her dog while me myself was enjoying the night. First time my two pups were away from me for so long and with one of them being anxious easily, Kaori made it a great experience. I didn’t have to worry at all knowing they are in good hands. Thank you!!!!”
“Karheek and their family took wonderful care of our Border Collie, Sophie. They gave her lots of attention and exercise, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was so well cared for while we were away. We would highly recommend them to any dog owner, and will certainly call on them again when needed. Sophie’s new extended family in Victoria.”
“It was my dog’s first stay away from home and we were both a bit nervous. Marlisa has a calm and gentle manner and a lovely older dog so my dog gradually settled in. I’m pleased with the care and attention she received from Marlisa.”
“Dwight watched my boxer Guinness and my sister's toy poodle. He is excellent with both: a big dog and a small one. Our boxer had long walks and he loved chilling in the backyard. Both dogs got royal treatment :). I highly recommend Dwight. Both him and his wife are very welcoming and I had zero reservations leaving our dogs with them. Do not even hesitate booking him!”
“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”
“Audrey was absolutely amazing!!! She did a meet and greet at a park before booking, which I super appreciated, and then was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay!!! I’m an anxious dog parent so having her look after Roxy and treat her as her own was perfect. I absolutely would book her again!!!!!”
“Lauren was super helpful with our anxious dog. She allowed us to visit prior to our vacation, to help get Roo more comfortable, and provided lots of updates during Roo's stay. We are very thankful to Lauren for looking after our pup so kindly. Roo can't wait for her next visit!”
About: We rescued our sweet girl Stella 12 years ago and recently navigated her terminal senior care until she crossed the rainbow bridge. We are experienced with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and large dogs. We both have had dogs our entire lives and are huge animal lovers. Jaclyn works from home full-time. Typically a dog would get time in the yard in the morning and similar bathroom breaks as needed throughout the day. We have dog beds, toys, and a whole house & yard to explore. In the evenings we would do a neighbourhood walk and on weekends a little hike adventure. We have a fenced yard, dog beds, toys, as well as a spare bedroom which is open to pets. Dogs are also allowed on our furniture and in our bedroom. We give lots of attention, love, and cuddles.
“Simply the best. always great and so accommodating. My dogs love them both. It takes all the stress out of leaving your valued pets. Thank you Malcolm and Annette”
“Could not recommend Alana enough! I have a hard time leaving my dog with people as she is high energy and can having a hard time settling in with sitters. All my concerns were eased after my dogs stay with Alana. Socks settled right in and had the best time! Alana was great at sending updates, she sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the stay. She also took my dog on lots of adventures- she came back home tired and happy. Socks will be coming back to her next time I need a sitter without a doubt!”
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.
About: I’ve had pets throughout my entire life. I spent the past ten and a half years taking care of a high energy golden retriever who I will miss very much. I have experience with high needs dogs and am looking forward for the opportunity to provide your pet with the highest level of care :) I’m currently working full time, but am available to care for your pet on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Pending location I’m available for lunch visits as well We live in a pet friendly apartment complex and are located close to beautiful walking trails. I enjoy exercising with your pet and would be so happy to take your dog on hiking or trail running adventures
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - View Royal
Karly and Brent were absolutely amazing. They took care of my little furbaby like he was their own. Took him on adventures, gave him lots of cuddles, and sent me photos and updates while I was away. I couldn’t be more grateful ☺️ I will absolutely book them again!!
Andrea took such good care of our two Cavaliers while we were away for a week. She sent lots of photos and videos and we could tell they were happy when we picked them up. Her attention to detail was awesome and we will definitely book again! Thank you for giving our girls such a wonderful home for the week Andrea!
Alexa was fabulous! It's obvious that Alexa loves animals, I could feel it the moment we met. Even my pooch was drawn to her energy. Alexa made us feel comfortable in our first meeting and that didn't change after we dropped dog off with her for a three night stay. Immediately Alexa took our dog out for a walk and started sending pictures, with updates, to us. It made us feel very comfortable and that we made the right choice going with her to look after our beloved pet. Thank you alexa, I sure hope you are available the next time we need a a puppy sitter because we will definitely be reaching out to you.
Kelsey was amazing with Luna. She was very kind and responsive, and she'd send lots of updates. Our schedule was a little all over the place, but she was very accommodating which made our trip easier. Luna's always been a bit of an anxious gal with sitters, but she seemed very happy with Kelsey and did very well :) I would definitely use her again.
Lilia is a wonderful sitter! She was able to socialize and adapt with my dog Ima quickly. She sends frequent updates about their adventures and Ima seemed to have had a blast staying over her home. Recommended to others 100%!! Will be sure to book with her again in the future.
Kali was awesome! She was super communicative throughout the entire stay and sent me pictures of my pup every single day, which I really appreciated! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. She seems like such a genuinely kind and caring person who really loves animals. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pets. I would definitely book with her again!
Montana is amazing! Our puppy Pluto loves her, and they had a great time together during his stay. She kept us updated with photos and messages and communicated really well. We felt comfortable knowing Pluto was in good hands. We’ll definitely use her services again!
Iris is caring and capable, and has a large fenced yard and a friendly golden retriever that my dog got along very well with (apparently they played a lot!). She is home with them most of the time and takes them out for 2 walks a day. It was reassuring to know Ellie was well taken care of.
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.
Princey took fantastic care of our pup Cedar while we were away for four days, and was very accommodating for our last-minute booking. We received many photos and updates, and it was a such a relief to know our dog was so well-taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Princey for dog boarding, and we’d love to book again in the future!
Amelia, Thomas and Biscuit all have such lovely calm energy, as well as in their home. Dottie received wonderful care while in the care of them. I don’t think Dottie wanted to leave! Thank you for providing such a stress free boarding experience with lots of updates. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their View Royal 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 View Royal
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 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.
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. 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
