âBethany was fantastic! My cat and I recently made a cross-country move and leaving her alone in a new place for a week made me so anxious (probably more anxious than the cat was). Bethany made sure Mimi had everything she needed and sent me daily updates. đâ

âPriya was very attentive and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pets. She sent detailed updates with every drop in. She kept an eye on our home for us too. I would highly recommend her!â
About: Iâve been pet sitting for 3 years now. Iâve done a wide variety of jobs. I have worked on a long term schedule, stayed overnight, and handled last minute care situations. Every single time I have met both the fur baby and owner with care, compassion, and trust. I have always loved caring for pets and love to tune in with each of their personalities! From hyperactive pups to our elderly babies who just want to watch tv together. Itâs amazing to bring out the personality in each one and give them the opportunity to be in charge! If they want to walk, we walk, if they want to play, we play, if they want to chill all day, we chill! I can ensure that while youâre out, your pet will be taken care of and loved so you can remain stress free. Iâm currently working part time so Iâll have plenty of time to work with you and your pet. I love getting out of the house and would love to spend the day with your fur buddy! I currently have one large dog and one cat in my home. I plan to only work within the clients home. I believe itâs best to keep pets in their safe space so they can remain stress free while you remain stress free as well. Iâm accustomed to house sitting, house care, and staying overnight if needed. I can assure you that I will abide by the campsite rule and always leave things better than how I found them!
âThis is the second time Chrystal has watched our cats for multiple days at a time and I couldn't feel more at ease. She is attentive and communicative. She will be my first choice next time as well! Thanks Chrystalđžâ

About: Hi, Iâm Sophia! Iâm 22 and Iâm looking for dog walking/sitting opportunities. I have years of experience caring for my own animals and family/friends pets. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes. I have three years paid experience pet sitting and previously worked as a kennel tech. I would be able to provide pet sitting whether it be check-ins to play with or feed your pet, or overnight boarding as well as walking. I have two dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs as well as a backyard for ur pup to play in! Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you! I am a full time student at UH, but only go to campus two days a week, so I am home basically all the time! I have a fenced backyard and two very friendly dogs who love to play! One is a chihuahua and the other⌠Iâm not sure. I found her about a year ago as a stray but she is a very calm and polite dog.
âKadence was a wonderful sitter for my cat! She was great at communicating, timely, and always sent pictures. My cat was delighted to see her and always looking well loved and petted in the photos.â

About: Iâve been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love! Iâve grown up around animals and have experience owning and caring for cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and many other animals. Iâve also fostered pets and have hands-on farm experience, so Iâm comfortable with animals of all different sizes, personalities, and needs! I absolutely love getting to know each petâs unique personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and spoiled while theyâre in my care. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, get lots of cuddles, or just relax by my side, Iâm happy to give them all the attention they deserve. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing theyâre in loving and caring hands. I would be so excited to meet your fur babies and give them the same love and attention I give my own! đžâ¤ď¸ I currently work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and frequent face-to-face time throughout the day! Iâm able to give them lots of opportunities to go outside, stretch their legs, and play, rather than being left alone for long periods of time. Iâm happy to follow your petâs normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any other care theyâre used to at home. I also love taking dogs on evening walks and giving them plenty of playtime and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to keep your petâs routine as close to normal as possible while youâre away, so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for! Your petâs safety is always my top priority! I have a fully fenced-in yard where your pet can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, along with a quiet, safe neighborhood thatâs perfect for walks. I also have a super friendly miniature poodle who loves making new friends and can keep your pet company if they enjoy having a furry friend around! Of course, Iâm happy to keep pets separated if thatâs what theyâre most comfortable with. I also have a crate available and can crate your dog when needed or if thatâs part of their normal routine at home. Iâll always follow your instructions and do whatever helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while theyâre in my care!
About: I have owned a dog for 13 years. I have experience pet sitting that included loving and playing with them. I haven't met a cat or dog that didn't like me. I am looking to be more active so I am walking/playing with dogs to achieve that I only work 3 days a week so I have lots of time and flexibility to walk/ take care of your pet on your schedule! I live in a home, with a large yard for playing, and can take walks around my neighborhood. There are no children in the household and it is a very quiet and calm environment. I let my pets on the couch too for snuggles so they will be very cozy

About: Iâve had multiple dogs in my household for my whole life and have learned how to take care of them A LOT! I have 4 dogs currently and take care of them on a daily basis. Sofie is my great dane mix, Jagger is a mix of many breeds, Kiwi is my black lab mix, and Cora is my big great dane. Whether thatâs taking them outside, feeding them, giving them water, cleaning up after them, or even just hanging out and playing with them! Safe to say I have quite a bit of experience with animals! Im working full time currently, so Iâm mainly just looking to do this on the side and make some extra money! I can be flexible with my schedule, just have to discuss beforehandz Iâm always around my dogs to make sure they arenât doing anything bad. I also have a good habit of being extra safe with dogs when walking or even just around the house to make sure theyâre okay! And you always have to make sure theyâre happy! So hanging out with the dogs is always the best!
âAnthony cared for my greyhound and GSD with drop in visits for a whole week and I have nothing but good things to say! Great communication, lots of pictures, and made me feel very comfortable. I will be booking with Anthony again!â


About: I have had animals my whole life! I love dogs and cats! I have my own 5 year old Golden Retriever who has received 3 AKC Good Citizen Certifications. I love taking pups on walks! I am working full time currently so not as open as I would like to be, but may be leaving my job soon to finish school online so my schedule might be opening up a lot! I make sure the dogs are given as much attention as they need and are not left to their own devices to get into trouble as we know our pets love to do! A safe and healthy environment for play and learning is top priority in working with animals.
âLori is the best! Excellent communication skills, she kept us informed throughout her visit. We will be asking her again soon to watch our close family member Cody (Golden Retriever)??â


About: Iâve been taking care of my dog and friends dogs for almost 10 years now. I can provide the exercise they need and follow feeding and/or medication instructions as needed. I am very respectful of routines. Iâm new to the area and currently have full time availability to take care of your pets. I have a car so I can travel to drop in and walk your pets. If booked to board over at a clients home I will be respectful of the schedule and routine of the dog(s) and follow all instructions given.
About: Hey Iâm Sarah and I would love to take care of your fur babies while you are away! I used to have two dogs and a cat, but I currently have two cats! I am very good at time management and sticking to a schedule, and my unconditional love for animals set me apart from everyone else. I have a very open and flexible schedule, so please contact me if you need a dog walker or someone to play/ feed your dog(s)/cat(s) periodically! I currently stay at home so I have a flexible schedule! I can be free to watch and care for your animals at any point in the day or night! Because of my pets at home, I do not do home stays at my home, however, I have tons of experience in pet care, so I can easily crate dogs and cats, I am able to go on runs and walks with dogs, and I follow a schedule very well so feedings will be on time!
About: I have 4 years of dog sitting for multiple families of different breeds of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own that I have had since they were puppies. My oldest dog has diabetes, so I have a lot of experience with dogs that require medication and special attention. I have a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs, and love going on walks, playing, and just cuddling with them. My daily schedule is pretty open. I can housesit any day of the week. Most days I can be over to walk, play, and let out animals every 4 hours or more if needed. I will make sure the pets go about their usual schedule and routine as much as possible. I will give them love and attention and ensure they are at ease and comfortable when caring for them.
About: Iâve had a dog since I was in high school, and over the years Iâve cared for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I understand that every pet has their own personality. Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others are happiest having their own space, and Iâm comfortable with both. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and as happy as possible while youâre away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies with someone else, so Iâll send plenty of updates and photos so you can see how theyâre doing and have a little extra peace of mind. I also have a pet camera available, so if your pet is staying with me, youâll have the option to check in and see them live while theyâre in my care. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and being well taken care of. đžđ I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so my weekends are my most flexible! Iâm available for evening care during the week and have much more availability for drop-ins, walks, boarding, and house sitting on weekends. Iâm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your petâs normal routine and make sure I can give them the time and attention they need. đžđ I have two 8-month-old bunnies of my own who are very loved and definitely a little spoiled! đ°đ If Iâm caring for your pet in my home, my bunnies will be moved from the living room into my guest room, where theyâll stay completely separate from your pet. This gives everyone their own safe, comfortable space to relax without any direct interaction. Your pet will have plenty of room to get comfortable, along with lots of love, attention, cuddles (if they want them!), playtime, and maybe a treat or two. Iâm big on making animals feel at home and keeping their normal routine whenever possible. When I leave for work, I even like to leave the TV on so they have some background noise and donât feel like the house is completely quiet. Most importantly, Iâll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, treats, medications, routines, boundaries, and anything else that helps your fur baby feel safe and comfortable while youâre away. đžđ

My wife and I used Rover for the first time and booked Aspyn. I can say with full confidence that Aspyn went above and beyond to take care of our dogs. She kept us updated on her arrival and shared daily photos to let us know how they were doing. Great communication and respect of our home. Highly recommend Aspyn to take care your animals!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Courtenay is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,161 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Courtenay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, donât forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justiceâs National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Roverâs 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Courtenay. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
