“Charlotte had a wonderful stay with Andrea and her family! Andrea was attentive, responsive, and sent updates throughout Charlotte's weekend stay. We will definitely book with Andrea again in the future!”
“Tiana was excellent with Finn! He had so much fun with her dogs and she has a great outdoor space for them to play and run around! She was constantly updating us with photos which made us feel great about being away as we knew he was so well taken care of! Will definitely use her again and Finn will be so excited to return 😁”
“Kelsey took very good care of my dog 🐶 she’s very kind and kept me in the loop on what my dog was up to throughout the days. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have her sit their fur babies! ❤️”
“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”
“I highly recommend Vicky! My friend unfortunately lost my dog a few years ago and I've been incredibly nervous to leave her with anyone since and was dreading this trip. Right from first message Vicky seemed really sweet and responsive and even more so in person. After meeting her and seeing how sweet she is with her own dogs and where Rosie would be I completely stopped worrying! While away I received some smiley pics of my happy girl who looked like she was having a great time and everything went perfectly! Vicky will always be my first choice for pet sitting and I'd never hesitate to book again. Thank you Vicky! :)”
“Amazing! Highly recommended, was in a pinch for safe boarding for my Dane and after four days Hendrix came home and slinked upstairs to our bed to pass out for 5hrs. Will be making this our primary for additional care. Highly recommended!!”
“Kimberly was amazing with our pup! She has a great setup and an obvious heart for pets. She was so kind to send us pictures/videos to help us feel better about leaving him behind. We’ll be using her again!!”
“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”
“Alisa was great! We felt out dog was very well cared for and looked like he had a great time, fron the photos that were shared. We recommend Alisa and she would be our first thought when needing someone to care for our dog in the future.”
“I’m so happy to have found Kelsey. It was my first time boarding Momo so I was a little anxious. I knew she’d be in home hands once I dropped her off. Kelsey was calm, attentive and knowledgeable. He responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures throughout the day. We highly recommend Kelsey and would love to come back.”
“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.”
“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond. She even gave our dogs a bath before we picked them up, and while they were there, they got to join in celebrating her dog’s birthday! She did the cutest birthday photo shoot and even sent our pups home with little goodie bags. Such a fun and thoughtful surprise! It’s clear Cynthia genuinely loves dogs and treats every one like family. Our pups came home happy, clean, and loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”
“Even though my dog caused them a lot of trouble, Kevin&Kayla still loved my dog until the end. I'm grateful to them. They are very nice people. If they would allow me, I would like to ask them again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Shravistha is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Sarah was great with our dogs and was willing to administer Ivy's medicine when she unexpectedly hurt her back just before our trip and gave her extra care. Thank you Sarah!”
“We are so lucky to have Daisy & her family take care of Corkey again. He’s always so happy and well-cared for. I especially like that the whole family is involved in the care. No hesitations with asking them to take our Corkey again!”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“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!”
“Barbara is the perfect sweetheart to leave your pup with. Uly felt so at home with her …immediately! Her back yard is divine for zoomies and she even took Uly different places for walks… like a surprise daily field trip!! He was such a happy kid we we picked him up. Barbara’s a gem you can trust :) with your pup!”

“My Rover sitter for my cats was fantastic. He answered all my questions, sent daily updates, and even captured photographic evidence of my cat giving him a high five, which I did not know was possible. Nick was personable, reliable, and clearly won my cats over. I would absolutely recommend him.”

“We were so lucky to find Nick and Rebecca when I had to find a last minute sitter during our visit to Orcas island. My pup Genghis took to Nick right away - and I could tell he was very well taken care of. Nothing like feeling a peace when I have to leave the little guy behind.”
“We are so happy to have found Criofan and this beautiful farm for our pups. Leo and Millie had the most wonderful time. Criofan was easy to communicate with and sent us photos of our dogs running, playing with balls and soaking in the doggy pool. They were both so tired hahaha and happy puppers at the end of the day. We will be back for sure!!!”
“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”
“Andrea has been so patient with our new puppy, she treats her as if she was a part of the family. I have no doubt Nyx is already looking forward to her next visit!”
“Bianca was great with our little guy Bruno, she was very accommodating when we had some issues with our building and had to change the schedule. She is responsive and we will not hesitate to bring our dog to her care next time we require it.”
“Chris and Amy were great with Leo he seemed happy and exhausted when he came home. They were good at communication, sent lots of photos and asked good questions. They were very tolerant of our high energy puppy! Thanks!”
“Vicki helped me out on short notice and even let me come by the night before to ensure my dog would get along ok with her two cocker spaniels. Really close to UVIC so it was easy for me to drop off my pup and get to class. Thanks Vicki!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating.

“Needed drop off daycare on short notice. Hosts were quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. Easy drop off and pick up. Happy family, happy dog. Highly recommend!”
“Christy was great with Steiner, our one year-old puppy, who is still learning how to behave. Christy lives very close to all the activities in Victoria, B. C., so dropping Steiner off was so easy. Thank you for taking care of our puppy, Christy.”
“Roxy is a great dog sitter and our dog was comfortable and happy in her care. We received photos and updates daily, which I really appreciated. Great place for him to socialize with other dogs of all sizes. He was definitely well cared for and came back more confident around other dogs. Would definitely recommend and will use her again!”
“Beth was nothing but amazing from start to finish. We were on the island for my wife's work event and she suggested we get a sitter so my son and I could explore the island dog-free for the day. With less than 24 hours notice we found Beth, she responded immediately and confirmed quickly. She asked all of the right questions so you could tell she really cared. My 12 year old son was worried about leaving the dogs, but Beth sent us text updates and posted pics and videos to a Google folder throughout the day. She took them for multiple walks and a hike. They came home happy and tired...they definitely had their best time on the island with Beth. I can't say enough good things, she was fantastic.”
About: I’ve cared for many pets since childhood, giving me decades of hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. I offer calm, reliable care making pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. And yes, dogs think I’m hilarious, while cats simply tolerate me — I respect the dynamic. I’m here for the zoomies and the drama! Calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious pets who need a soft, reassuring presence. I stick closely to feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and walk preferences so pets feel secure and comfortable. I always send warm, detailed updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel right at home, treated with the same patience, gentleness, and respect I give my own… plus a little extra, because I speak fluent “treat” and I’m an unlicensed but highly skilled cuddle dealer! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m not working at the moment, so your pet basically becomes my coworker — and honestly, they’re way better company. I’m able to give pets my full attention. I keep a flexible schedule for drop‑ins, daycare, and walks, and I’m available to follow each pet’s specific routine, from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and calm companionship. Pets get consistent care, plenty of interaction, and a reliable presence throughout the day. Drop-ins at your home: I keep things consistent by following their established schedule, giving pets calm companionship, enrichment, and plenty of attention. Walks are safe, paced, and full of sniff‑approved adventures. Daycare is a mix of play, rest, and gentle supervision. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, cozy environment, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and whatever routine makes them feel most at ease — from free roaming to crating if that’s their comfort zone.
“Gabriel took great care of Winston and gave me lots of updates. Winston got plenty of walks and love and he was clearly a very happy pup when I returned. Really appreciated Gabriel’s flexibility as I reached out the night before. Would definitely recommend.”

“Nick is a very professional, knowledgeable and skilled dog walker. He is building a solid positive relationship with our dog Nanuk (a 1 year old Labrador) who is excited to go with Nick on his walks and happy and calm when he gets home. I know Nanuk is in great hands with Nick and would absolutely recommend!”

“Tiana was excellent with Finn! He had so much fun with her dogs and she has a great outdoor space for them to play and run around! She was constantly updating us with photos which made us feel great about being away as we knew he was so well taken care of! Will definitely use her again and Finn will be so excited to return 😁”

“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!”
“Rachel and her family took great care of my dog, going on long walks, taking her to the beach, and taking her in the car when they went places. They made sure my pup was happy, healthy, and safe.”

“Heather was awesome! Easy to communicate with and booking was smooth. Our dog is a little timid at first but Heather handled it well and sent us updates. Pam settled in and enjoyed the soft blankets on her couch, fenced-in backyard and going for walks in Sidney by the Sea. It's such peace of mind to know your dog is being cared for while you're away. We will definitely use Heather 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!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked with horses for five years and have spent the last three years working with and around dogs. I also raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, who is now a government-certified service dog. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine through walks, enrichment, training, and personalized care. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and giving every pet individual attention. I provide attentive, personalized care in every home. With parks, trails, and Beacon Hill nearby, pets enjoy safe walks, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection.
“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”
