“Phenomenal experience. Prompt responses, amazing communication, my pup absolutely adored her and was exhausted once I brought her home. Highly recommend and will be using again”

“Rachel and her family were great with Arya. They did walks, played fetch, had time with another furry friend, and sent me pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and will be connecting with her in the future for my fur baby's care. Thank you so much to you and your family!”

“Michelle is so caring and kind, she is the best sitter I’ve ever had. My dog Daisy usually has accidents when she stays in a new place, but she never had any accident with Michelle, Michelle and her family made her feel very safe and cared for. We will definitely book with Michelle anytime we are away!”

“Rizzo had a great time with Emerald! Communication the entire time was super easy and she sent great updates and pics of my girl 😊 I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with her and she came back tired and happy from some big walks!

“Nick was super kind to my pups. He treated them well, gave them walks, and gave them love that only a dog lover could give. I highly recommend Nick without any reservations when coming to Orcas Island.”

“I am the kind of person who hates leaving their dog with anyone because I'm so paranoid the worst case scenario could happen.... Not the case with Roxanne! She was quick to get in touch with me after my initial request and very flexible with my schedule. Clooney's tail wags nonstop as soon as we pull into her driveway, and he seems to forget about me the minute we walk through the door! Roxanne sends periodic texts and pictures throughout the day, which I also love. My mind is always at ease once I drop Clooney off at Roxanne's house, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Anacortes and Oak Harbor area!”


“Vicki was so great! The pup had such a good time there, and was wiped when I came to pick him up (which is always best case scenario). Vick was super understanding of me being an anxious puppy mom, and let me be there to greet all the dogs in the back yard with Soren. We will be back very soon! Thank you, Vicki!”

“Virginia was great. Maggie-Roo was happily tired. 💖🐾 Virginia's communication was excellent. This was Maggie-Roo's first time playing with Virginia and everything went smoothly. Highly recommended. Thank you.”

“Shravistha and her husband were very warm and welcoming from the moment I dropped off my puppy. I explained that this was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and they were both very understanding, patient, and caring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was safe and comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. My puppy received lots of attention, affection, and excellent care. I truly appreciated the regular updates and communication. I highly recommend Shravistha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! 🐾❤️”

“Ramesh and Lauren are amazing. They were able to help my anxious dog settle in quick. After a couple visits he was excited to go over to their place. They were able to keep me up to date during the day to settle an anxious owner. Ramesh was quick to respond and worked to help me cover my needs. I am excited to have my dog back with them when I need them!”

“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”

“Chrystalla took amazing care of our dog when we visited Victoria and needed a safe place to leave Luna for few hours. Her place is conveniently located close to Empress hotel and waterfront. Highly recommended!”


“Morgan was simply the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, communicative and flexible first Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable having Henry stay with her and her adorable dog Baby. She sent frequent pictures of their activities and ensured Henry got exercise, rest, healthy snacks and attention. We were only visiting Bellingham but wish she lived in our town - we would have her hang with Henry all the time! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Morgan!”

“James was great! We had to book last minute and he was happy to help. Xhiggy came back exhausted. His backyard is great and he also took X for a beach walk. Very attentive for our Girl. Thank you James.”

“Rachel was wonderful! It was our first time using Rover and we had a 100% satisfaction experience. We met with Rachel in advance of our booking, she was very responsive to our question and quick to respond every time we communicated. She introduced our 8 month old Toller to chickens, horses and cats with great success. A kind and calm sitter, we’d highly recommend her to others. Thanks for everything Rachel!”

“Sandeep and Priyanka are such good pet sitters. I can trust them fully with my dog, icy. They make sure your dog are well looked after and gets enough walkies. Our icy is always happy with them. Thank you for your service.”

“Kylee was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time that we had left our sweet Penny with anyone other than family and she had the best time! She had a blast going for walks and making a new friend in Remmy. I highly recommend her if you need a kind and caring person to look after your pup :)”

“Thanks so much, Robin and Luc! Eddie loves going to doggy daycare which just warms my heart- he doesn’t even notice I’m gone anymore. I always know when I am at work he is being well looked after and spoiled. We will be back again!”

About: Ease your mind with your pets care in my hands! I have grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, from fish and guinea pigs to birds, cats, and my dog Marley. Being exposed to such a wide variety of pets has given me a strong understanding of different animal needs, behaviors, and personalities. Caring for them has always come naturally to me, and over the years I’ve developed a deep sense of responsibility and attentiveness when it comes to their wellbeing. While I truly love all animals, I have a special connection with dogs. I enjoy their companionship, energy, and unique personalities, and I’m very comfortable meeting their daily needs, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing them with attention and affection. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, cared for, and loved, especially when their owners are away. Through my experience, I’ve become patient, reliable, and intuitive when it comes to animal care. I love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of time in my schedule to play and care for your beloved furry friends! Keeping pets safe whether in their own home or in mine, comes down to being attentive, prepared, and creating a calm, secure environment. In your home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent. I double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure to prevent any escapes, and I’m mindful of things like food left out, small objects, or anything that could be harmful. I respect the pet’s space and comfort level, keeping their environment calm and familiar while making sure they’re always supervised and cared for. In my own home, I focus on creating a pet-safe environment before they even arrive. I remove any hazards like toxic foods, loose cords, or small items they could swallow. I ensure there’s a clean, comfortable space for them to relax, with access to fresh water at all times. I also take time to slowly introduce them to the space so they feel safe and not overwhelmed. No matter where I’m caring for pets, I stay attentive to their behavior and needs, making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“Moose and I loved his stay with Mika!! They were such amazing hosts for our boy, and we could tell when we picked him up he'd had a great time :) we will DEFINITELY be asking for you again in the future! Thank you again so much!!”


“Alexis and Amy have a great thing going. My partner and I are typically weary about leaving our high energy dog with strangers but couldn't have been happier that we chose Alexis' daycare. Everything from communication to drop-off/pick-up was super smooth. Our dog Sprocket thrives on social interaction with both humans and dogs and was happily exhausted at the end of the day when we picked him up. All the other dogs at daycare seem very well adjusted and friendly as well which was a relief for us. Would definitely recommend them and we will certainly be using them again! Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the experience of caring for them throughout my life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and caring, and I treat every dog as a member of the family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I enjoy walks, playtime, companionship, and giving dogs the attention and affection they need while their owners are away. Most importantly, I provide reliable, responsible, and loving care you can feel confident about. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home and available every day. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets, including walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and giving them the attention they need. I enjoy being around dogs and would be happy to make them part of my daily routine. I provide safe, loving, and reliable care while following each pet’s routine at the client's or my home, has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, exercise, and relaxation. I also keep pets comfortable, supervised, and treated like family.
About: My name is Sally and I pride in being a PROFESSIONAL! I'm easy-going, punctual and most of all lover of all animals! I'm a hospital shift worker so my hours are flexible (weekdays, evenings & weekends). I love walking and being outdoors, and there's nothing better than having a furry friend to tag along! I've had 2 dogs, a cat and a horse in my lifetime, and I recently adopted a German Shepherd! So you can trust me when it comes to caring for your four-legged family member. As a healthcare worker, I know how important confidentiality is, and I can be discreet with key locations, alarm codes etc. I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters when I travel to Mexico, Belize etc I look forward to working with you, and caring for your pet (dog or cat) as if they were my own!!!

About: I have had pets of all kinds my whole life from hamsters to turtles to cats and my father later in life adopted dogs for me to care for when returning home. I started taking care of dogs when I was travelling for work in the USA through Trusted Housesitters with my partner. After having a child we have had fish, enjoy taking our friends' dogs for morning walks and cat-boarding for colleagues at work. I love living in Victoria and am lucky to live in a nice neighbourhood with big parks and nice walks. Walking is my favourite exercise and walking with company is the best! I am going to use the dog walking extra money to fundraise for my daughter's trip to DisneyLand this February 2027. I want to walk dogs in the morning before work and school for exercise and enjoy the early hours. I am also raising money to go on a trip to Disney Land. Having used Trusted Housesitters, I have stayed in other people's houses to care for their pets for up to a month. I also used to run an Airbnb with my partner so we could travel and have experience cleaning and taking care of the home with pets. I keep a clean and tidy home with my daughter, mostly to keep track of everything haha 😂 I have split level apartment at the top two floors of a house with open spaces and 2 bathrooms. I have a gated front patio and a giant dog park across the street. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the great weather of Victoria.
“Alanna was an amazing sitter for my dog Hunter, he is a senior dog with mobility challenges and she worked so hard to accommodate his needs. I loved the updates and pictures she send. I would definitely recommend Alanna as she was so understanding and caring.”

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!
