“Kayden was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of Jax while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was getting lots of love and attention, and she always made sure he was doing well. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayden again. Highly recommend!”
“Jen has been dropping in to give Gracie, our Cavapoo, a much needed midday break for several months now. Jenn is always reliable and accommodating. Gracie loves Jenn; I am so grateful we found her!”
“The level of detail that Regina provided with each visit is the quality of care that I’ve been looking for in a cat sitter for years!!! Finally, I can fully enjoy my time away knowing my cats are well cared for! The app worked flawlessly! I received an alert at the beginning and end of each visit. Regina was extremely attentive and provided detailed information and photos of both cats after each visit. So grateful to have found Regina! Will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”
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.
“Lindy did a great job taking care of our dog (and even gave some pets to our cat too!) She spend at least a good 30 mins with our Booth each visit and sent lots of photos where he looked so happy with his new friend. She was very good on communication as well! Lindy even grabbed a package off our porch and our mail which was really nice so it wasn’t sitting in our mail box all weekend! We will definitely ask again in the future for her to stop by and look after our animals. Highly recommend! Thanks Lindy!!”
“Our three dogs had a great visit from Lexi! She fed them, let them outside and played with them and sent us great photos and a video. We felt very assured leaving Lexi in charge of our crew and we returned home to three very happy pups! We'll definitely be booking Lexi for future dates. Thank you!”
“Lindsey and her girls did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Koda. They gave him lots of snuggles and love while we were gone. They even left us some cute artwork with a nice note. We will definitely book drop in visits with them again in the future”
“Emma was so great! She was prompt to respond, flexible, and kept us in the loop with really sweet updates & photos throughout. Our cat Billie seemed to warm up to her super quick & was clearly well cared for while we were away. Will absolutely book with Emma again!!”
“Kristin was wonderful and made it very clear that she cared about our kitty and his wellbeing! He is on medication right now and doesn’t cooperate very well, but she was able to get it in him :) would definitely recommend booking her. Thank you, Kristin!!”
“Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕”
“Adelaide is amazing!! She is so tuned into my dog and her needs and behaviors. Her communication is excellent and her updates truly bring me joy when I’m away. She goes the extra mile to give the best care possible!”
About: Pets make life better! They are family. If they behave well, they should be spoiled! I have always had dogs. I grew with up with dogs and now I have my own. I have never owned a cat because my mom is allergic, but I really enjoy them! I care for my friends two cats frequently. I love caring for, playing, and walking animals! I love getting outside to walk. I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I also enjoy playing with feather or ribbon cat toys! I am good with any age animal. They all need love and attention! My dog is 2, so I have been through the puppy stage recently. He has a lot of energy so I know how much exercise dogs need.

Regina did a great job of doing daily check-ins for my cat Ziggy while I was out of town for a week. She arrived in the morning as requested and gave Ziggy her medications , food and water as well as changed her litter box and brought In my mail. I really appreciated the notifications and pictures Regina sent each day which gave me a sense of comfort while I was away. Thank you taking such good care of her !
Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕
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 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Victoria on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,444 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
- 97% 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.
