Personalized care for your dog or cat - Roche Harbor
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Roche Harbor
“Rebecca and Nick are truly “dog people”. They took great care of our little guy and sent us pictures/updates almost everyday while we were away. We are super happy to have such a high-quality dog care option on Orcas.”
“Vicki was very welcoming and also accommodated my early drop off time and late night pick up for my puppy. Despite him being a puppy that is not completely potty trained she welcomed him warmly and when I picked him up afterwards he was exhausted from playing all day in her yard with her dogs! Thank you for a good first experience on rover :)”
“Kelsey was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so glad we landed Kelsey for our first! She was responsive, gave us proactive updates, and took amazing care of our pooch. Next time we go away, Kelsey will be our first reach out!”
“Kali had an amazing boarding experience at Bianca’s. The pick up and drop offs were seamless and the communication was excellent. Bianca regularly sent photo and video updates which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Bianca and would hire her for a future sit”
“Ella had a fun time with Criofan. She was happy to leave me and play with the other dogs on the property and she was happy at pick up time. Criofan was easy to deal with. She responded to texts promptly and eagerly set up a meet and greet time beforehand. She sent me photos to show what Ella was doing while under her care. If your dog likes lots of space and other dogs to play with then this could be a place for them!”
“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”
“Huxley had a great time at Andrea's. Andrea doesn't over treat which in Huxley's case very good. Daily walks morning, afternoon and evening. The pictured shoed Huxley resting and laid back. I know he was well looked after to him Andrea's home felt like home.”
“Heather was great about getting back to me in a timely manner for planning last minute, and sent lots of photos of my pup for me. It looked like Dolly had a great time there and appeared to be very comfortable when i arrived to pick her up, really appreciate the help and will be using Heather again in the future!”
“Daisy and family were great with Lucas! Daisy offered time for a meet and greet beforehand which was helpful. Lucas seemed to have a great time and he was cared for well. We’d happily recommend Daisy. Thanks for taking great care of Lucas!”
“Lauren’s extensive experience with pet care (including experience working in a vet hospital) set my mind at ease when I needed to find a somewhat last minute sitter for my dog Ollie, who’s in his senior years and has a sensitive little system. She was amazing with Ollie and sent lots of updates and adorable photos during their time together. I would absolutely book with Lauren again!”
“We went to New Zealand for 6 weeks. Alisa looked after Lucy and sent us photos. Alisa communicated often and sent us photo’s of Lucy relaxing in the house, playing with Haiko and going on walks. If I asked any questions, Alisa responded quickly. I knew that Lucy was well looked after, and because of Alisa’s care we were never worried and could enjoy our time away. I will only use Alisa and family in future to look after Lucy. I recommend Alisa highly.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 and family cared for Lola while we went on a trip. Pictures of Lola made being away from her more bearable. She was so well cared for- we feel like Kelsey would be our #1 choice next time we travel. We recommend Kelsey to anyone who is looking for an excellent home away from home for their dog.”
“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”
“Dani was great at caring for our pup Luna. From sending lots of photos to communicating as to how she was doing, we very much appreciated that level of communication and would definitely book again in the future! Thank you! :)”

About: Hi my name is Isabella and I and a wildlife biologist who loves animals! I grew up with pets who I have taken care of since I was 10.

I have experience with energetic puppies, senior dogs that require medication, dogs with leash aggression, and many cats as well. I am extremely tidy and will always treat your pets like family. After a year abroad, I am currently living at home with my parents so I have a lot of free time. I am very happy to hang out with your pets all day! I care for pets at their house.

I am a very organized and tidy person and I will always be very respectful of your house.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Roche Harbor
“Nick and Rebecca were excellent with our Bailey! They sent numerous pics, took her for a walk and let her snuggle on the sofa just like home! Bailey was relaxed and happy when we arrived and she’d love to stay with them again.”
“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!”
“Our pup immediately settled with Criofan and had a happy calm day. We’ve booked her in for a 7 day stay soon and this experience means I am confident she will be very well looked after. But with the field to run in, the AC and the cuddles… will she want to come home?🤣”
“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.”
“Bianca kindly took Pickford for the day on short notice. Communication was great and I appreciated the photos throughout the day. He seems to have settled in very quickly and we came back to a happy, rested dog. Would definitely recommend.”
“Daniely took such great care of our little Maya! As a three month old, Maya requires consistent attention and care, and is still learning biting inhibition and walking. Daniely was patient with Maya's needs and gave regular updates throughout the day; she's also great at communicating and responds promptly, which is helpful to anxious parents! We also appreciate that Daniely took our last-minute booking and schedule changes, her flexibility was a welcome asset. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I’d love to make your travel easier by caring for your beloved fur babies while you are away from home. I work from home and can rearrange my schedule during the day to stop in and take your pets out for potty breaks or a quick walk or cuddles. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so if your pets overnight here, they will have my full attention. I live in Sidney very close to walking paths and parks for walks and playtime.
“Andrea took such good care of my girl Piper. Piper can be quite anxious (and as a result I get anxious to leave her with anyone!) and Andrea was so understanding and patient with her. She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Tiana was amazing with Cisca She was so sweet and caring ! ❤️ She took her for a lovely walk and made her feel so comfortable that she even ate, which she normally doesn’t do when meeting someone for the first time. She also sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her! 🐾💕”
“Robin and Vivi, animal lovers are easy to find, but responsible animal lovers are a race breed indeed. We are fortunate to have found you, great family committed to providing lots of love and care for our coco. We loved receiving updates on what coco was up to throughout the day; the regular photos and videos where so cute. Thank you Robin and Vivi again for all your love and care. Coco says Woof woof ?”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Chris is such a wonderful & skilled sitter! We leave our 3month old puppy Maya with him (and his two doggies) three days a week, and have complete confidence in him. He provides regular updates throughout the day, is a great communicator, and flexible when we need our schedule slightly adjusted. Maya is always excited to see him and happy when we pick her up!”
“Chrystalla is very professional and cares for our puppy so well. She is clear with her communication and our dog was very happy when we picked him up. This was our first time in using the rover service and Chrystalla and we will definitely book her again. Thank you!”

“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!”

About: I grew up with at minimum 4 dogs at all times, ranging from Border collies, to Shepard mixes, to Jack Russell and fox terriers. I learned from a young age the best way to train dogs specific to their breeds and personalities and I have lots of experience caring for pups from the day they were born into old age. I understand the importance of exercise, routine and play for our furry friends. I say I have 7 years of experience caring for pets, but really it is 30+ years at this point, the 7 years comes from a boom in friends getting dogs and the beginning of me taking care of their pets when they go on vacation, have family/medical emergencies etc. I live less than a block from a park that is off-leash-optional (the park has a cute communal dog toy box also) and I live in a quiet neighbourhood where I can stroll with your pup on-leash for exercise if that is preferred. I also carry my own pups to designated off leash areas where they can run forest trails with me, or just hike around. Depending on your pups needs and what you and I discuss, play/exercise time for your pup may involve all three. My home has a fenced in back yard which is great for toilet breaks and serves as a play area also, if your pup is so inclined :) I have two pups of my own, a Border Collie and a Wire Haired Griffon, both friendly gals, the Border Collie is becoming a senior gal and generally pays no attention to other dogs past an introductory sniff, the Griffon is 4 years old and loves to play if your pup is willing, if not, no issues, she is not forceful in anyway. I can say with confidence that your pups will be in safe hands,well taken care of and loved while I am looking after them. I work a flexible schedule from my home office. My doggy caring day typically starts with at least a 30 - 40 min neighbour hood walk before 8:00 am. Backyard toilet and exercise breaks around 10:00. 30 - 40 min neighbourhood/park lunch walk around noon. More toilet/stretch the legs breaks around 2:00. Off-leash Forest walk around 4:30/5:00 (Or on-leash depending on the pup, and if a forest walk doesn't suit, then more time in the beautiful neighbourhood often heading to a larger fenced in municipal park about 10 mins walk away) Obviously, meals are given as per your pups schedule and lots of treats throughout the day (unless you tell me not to) I have a fully fenced in back yard, with two friendly pups for company for your pup. The house itself is very dog friendly, pups are allowed onto the couch, but not the beds or other furniture. There are many dog beds in various rooms for pooches to sleep in as they wish. When walking/exercising your dog, I will only walk your dog on-leash in the neighborhood and in any area that is not well fenced in. If your dog is reactive, timid, has any health concerns we can discuss and I will be sure to adjust my routine around those needs. I will do exactly what you ask of me when it comes to feeding, play, keeping your pup on-leash, treats etc. Should the unlikely happen and I need to bring your dog to a vet unexpectedly, I will have your contact details, your vets contact details and I live within 5 mins drive of the emergency vet hospital. Your pup will be well looked after.
“Sheila is excellent! I cannot recommend her enough. I’m always hesitant to leave my dog because of his separation anxiety but Sheila put me at ease as soon as we met. She tailored her days to make sure Opie was with her at all times and even took him to dog-friendly places around town. Opie had such a great time, he’s been trying to walk back to her house since we’ve been back!”
“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 😁”
“Suzanne was incredible with my dog. She has great communication. My dog was clearly well taken care of and so happy at pick up. I would not hesitate recommending her for your pets needs! 5 stars”
“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!”
“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”
