“Britt did a great job of taking care of our elderly cat and our aquatic turtle while we were away for 10 days. Our cat’s care included giving him medication in the morning via syringe. It was nice not worrying about our pets while we were away!”
“Lindy is fantabulous!! Lilo has thoroughly enjoyed her visits! It is such a relief to know she is in good hands with someone who will take care of your fur baby when you are gone. I appreciate and love the pictures she sends of their time together!!”
“Regina is absolutely the best. We had a serious family emergency and had to go out of town very last minute and she jumped right in. She even cleaned our cats’ food area. I just can’t thank her enough. So impressed and grateful.”
“Megan has been nothing but super sweet to my pup. She leaves thorough notes immediately after her visits and takes THE best photos of my pup. I feel so safe and comforted knowing she’s checking in on her during a long day. I highly recommend Megan to watch your dog”
About: I have grown up with a dog and cats. I am very familiar with how to successfully care for pets because I don’t remember my life without pets. Growing up, I had both a dog and cats that I helped take care of. I was involved in feeding them, bathing them, and making sure they felt loved and cared for. I also spent a lot of time walking my dog, which I really enjoyed. take care of pets by making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I meet their basic needs like feeding, walks, and playtime, while also adjusting to their unique personality. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and loved, just like they would with their owner.
About: I find animals to be a joy and take pride in caring for them. I enjoy being around them and ensuring they’re healthy and safe. I’m currently working full time and I am available anytime after 5PM, to check in and play. I am also free anytime on the weekends. I will be able to fulfill any request that you have in order for me to look after your pets in your home. I make sure to be observant of their behavior to ensure their needs are met.
“Natalie is absolutely incredible with my girls! I have one puppy and one senior dog, so they come with a lot of quirks! She is quick to respond and connects with me about any questions or concerns. I cannot recommended her enough! We are so lucky to have found you 💕”
About: I have had dogs around all my life. We have had the pets of many friends overnight over the course of the past 10 years. We love pets and will love your like our own while you are away. My wife and I work full time from home. We love to take walks during the day at all times of the year. We also have a 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter who will give lots of love. We have a large house with 2 active kids to keep your pets company. Our neighborhood has many friendly dogs and access to paths for walking.
“so appreciative for Katharine (and her daughter) helping me with my dog while i was unable to. she was very kind, responsive, and i look forward to booking her services again.”
About: Hi, I'm Charlotte! I have loved dogs and taking care of them my whole life. I have a dog of my own and have spent years training her and working with her on many different skills. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I have recently started a dog walking business by finding clients through word of mouth and have enjoyed working with many different types of dogs. I know how important pets are and will take the best care of your dog possible. I am looking for more clients and would love to take care of your dog for you! I’m currently a senior in high school, so my availability is mainly weekday afternoons. I’m typically available starting at 3:00 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and as early as 2:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. After I graduate in May, my schedule will be much more flexible, and I’ll be happy to offer midday walks or drop-in visits to check on your pup. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I follow all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and routines, and tailor walks and playtime to each pet’s personality and needs. My goal is always attentive, reliable, and stress-free care.
“Adelaide did a wonderful job walking my pup. She was great to work with, flexible, good communication, and is very experienced handling big dogs. I am super happy with her care of my girl!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had both through all stages of their lives, puppy/kitten - senior. I also have experience with administering medications. I am a college student who misses my own pets, and I would love to help care for yours so they do not get lonely! I am currently a college student and I do not have another job at the moment. This semester I am in class from 12pm-3pm M/W/F, and 8am-1:30pm on T/Th. Outside of that, I am a student leader so I have meetings on Monday’s from 3:30-5pm and events on some Friday's. However, I make sure to find time on my lunch breaks and before and after class to make sure pups can get outside and get a little love in between the times I have to be away. At my home, I have a fenced in yard for my dog, who is generally very well behaved, but I do not leave him unattended for long. He loves to wrestle and be brushed, so we do that often. He gets food once daily, per vet recommendations. In the past when I have had cats, they loved to cuddle and were pretty lazy. I cleaned out their litter box’s every 1-2 days, and they were grazers so I kept their food and water full daily.
About: I have experience caring for pets, especially dogs and cats, since I have had animals at home since I was a child. To me, they are not just pets, but part of the family. I have learned to take care of their daily needs such as feeding, walks, basic hygiene, and most importantly, giving them love and attention. I also understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and commitment when it comes to their well-being. Caring for pets is not just a task for me it’s something I do with love and dedication. 🐾 I currently work during the day, but I am available to care for your pets in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and responsible when you can’t be there, and I am happy to provide loving, attentive care during those times. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I will make sure your pets feel safe and cared for. 🐾 I provide personalized care depending on each pet’s needs and the service requested. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, routines, and any special needs. Pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and affection so they feel at home and loved. In my client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, go on regular walks, get exercise, and receive companionship and care. I also keep the area clean and provide updates to owners for peace of mind. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they are in my home or theirs.
“Jennifer was incredible in her care for our 3 cats. Her stop in visits during our trip allowed her to engage them and ensure they got the attention they needed. She did an incredible job of following up on visits with photos and responding to questions. It made us feel so comfortable in being gone!! We will definitely use her again!! Mark & Sheila”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my teens. I watched the neighbors dog with my sister when they were on vacation growing up. My sister had a Pomeranian dog breed throughout high school into college. Have experience watching Shih Tzu's, Chihuahua's, St Bernard, and Black Labs. I have experience watching a mixed husky (breed) and have known the dog since 2014. I most recently watched Renly while they were on a camping trip during the summer of 2023. This dog lives with epilepsy and special care was provided twice a day! I have experience with little and large breeds and enjoy animals and getting outside for a walk after work! I am working full time during the weekdays, available during the weekday evenings and weekends to be at home providing pet care. I can take for walks after work for exercise. I can crate your dog as needed or kennel when I am not at home. I pay close attention to the dogs when outside to ensure they are safely in the yard. I have experience with electric fences and houses that do not have the electric fence.
“Paige was a wonderful sitter! She was so kind and communicative, leaving us great updates and pictures from her visits. We didn’t worry about our boys at all! Would definitely recommend Paige😺”

Natalie is absolutely incredible with my girls! I have one puppy and one senior dog, so they come with a lot of quirks! She is quick to respond and connects with me about any questions or concerns. I cannot recommended her enough! We are so lucky to have found you 💕
Carine and Eric were incredible watching our two doodles while we were away; they were fantastic following our requests, were punctual throughout the visits, and were great at communicating. It gave us peace of mind to know they were taking care of our pups while we were away; would recommend for sure!
We chose Josh to care for Jake and Levi while we went for a long weekend. He was excellent! He sent pictures at every meeting, medicated Jake appropriately and kept Levi happily fed. The other 3 cats were pleased with his time there as well! I heard no complaints from anyone 😺😹😽

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Victoria on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,414 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Victoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Victoria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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, don’t 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 Justice’s 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 Rover’s 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 Victoria. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
