“Sarah is exceptionally quick at responding and communicating. She is easy to work with and very friendly. Our dog received wonderful care while we were gone. We will leave our dog with her again.”
“Rachel is amazing! Our senior dog had so much fun playing with the other pups and being so spoiled in her home. She was very accommodating to all the senior dog needs and even had homemade treats and chicken for our dog to eat when she was sad after we departed. She also did a great job with new dog introductions to the dogs in the house. Highly recommend Rachel for any and all dog care! We'll be using her again and again and again.”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Kelsey was great. She and her family were all very welcoming and expertly introduced my dog Zoe to hers. The two dogs seemed to instantly make friends. She was comfortable walking Zoe off lead . Also Kelsey was super flexible with sleeping arrangements. The space was beautiful, clean and well organized with a large fun back yard. I would definitely use Kelsey's services again.”
“It's been quite a while since we left our little boy with anyone other than family. We were a bit nervous initially how he would do with a bew peraon. We were very pleased with the care shown by Lisa during his stay. She was very atte tive to his needs and sent us lots of updates and pictures about how he was doing which helped ease our minds. We definitely recommend using Lisa if you need a Rover for your pooch.”
“Andrea and family were fantastic. Our dog Stu seemed to love being there as soon as he arrived and we had no concerns about leaving him. They took him on a big adventure walk to a beach and musts have given him a bath as he came back soft and smelling cleaner then ever. Would definitely send Stu back there if we need a petsitter again!”

About: Greetings from a genuine dog lover! My name is Lexi, and I've been blessed with the joy and companionship of dogs all my life. Raised in a family where dogs were always a part of our household, I quickly learned about their unconditional love and the boundless joy they bring. My professional journey with dogs began at a reputable doggy daycare in the Kitsilano area, where I had the privilege of caring for over 50 dogs daily. This role enriched me with invaluable insights into the diverse needs, personalities, and quirks of various dog breeds. Whether dealing with energetic puppies or calm seniors, I've approached each one with love, patience, and understanding. I've recently relocated to a pet-friendly apartment in a neighborhood conveniently located near dog parks in Victoria, providing the perfect backdrop for my dog-sitting services. To make life easier for you and your furry friend, I've also expanded my services to include dog pickup and drop-off, as well as neighborhood walks. I'm eager to provide your furry family member with a home away from home, filled with care, fun, and memorable experiences. I currently have very flexible schedules. This flexibility allows me to prioritize the needs of the pets I care for, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I’m living in a new pet-friendly apartment with constant temperature. No pets, no kids, no smoking. But yes toys, yes treats, and yes first aid kit. There is a dog wash station in the building and I'm very familiar with having to bathe extremely mud-happy pooches on a daily basis.
“Wow! This was my first Rover.com experience and it couldn't have gone any better! Virginia and family treated my elderly pup, Kipper, like one of their own. He came back worn out, needing a nap and lolling his tongue, as if he'd just returned from a highly satisfying trip to Disneyland. I strongly recommend Virginia for your boarding needs. She paid attention when we explained Kipper's idiosyncrasies, was flexible on pickup and drop-off timing, and obviously played Dog Mom as well as Kipper's own could!”
“Nick and Rebecca were wonderful. Not only are they caring people for pets, they have a great open property for your dog to roam freely. We will be return customers when we're back on Orcas Island.”
“Marta was so incredible taking care of our dog while we were in town for our wedding. She went above and beyond and provided excellent communication and updates. We are so happy with how attentive she was with our dog”
