House Sitting in Victoria

Catarina is the dog sitter of our dreams! This was our first time having her take care of my dog, and she was phenomenal. My dog struggles with anxiety, she takes a daily medication as well as she has a rescue med if she is really having a hard time. Catarina recognized when my dog was really struggling and reached out to me to check in and ask if she could give my dog the rescue med. I was so impressed by her ability to be so in tune with not only my dog’s physical needs but also her emotional needs. Catarina texted me multiple times each day to give updates, she sent lots of videos and pictures, and she was very, very loving towards my needy dog. I had such a better vacation knowing that my dog was being cared for by such a responsible and loving person. Also, Catarina left my home spotless for us when we came home. We will never use a different dog sitter again. Catarina was AMAZING!

We adopted both our dogs, in our new home, in a new city - just about a year before the 2020 lockdown started. Since then - I have continued to work from home - and my dogs are pretty much never left alone. We have even brought them with me when I have traveled...which was a bit much. For this trip, I reached out through Rover which I have used before in other cities- and it has always been great. Because my dogs were not used to being home alone for extended periods of time, I really wanted someone who could housesit them. I put my request in about a month before my trip - and was surprised at how many responses I received right away. Katie responded that she was available - AND could have a "meet and greet" the very day I put the request in. We set it up a few hours later – and I met her (and her two kids – which at first I thought was I little odd - her daughter – maybe around 11 and her son maybe around 5-6?). But honestly, you could tell that Katie is really together and her kids are really cool...so that “meet and greet” with the kids actually made me trust her even more. A few days before our trip – Katie came over and we went through everything – easy breezy. And then during our trip she sent us texts/pics/updates – and I knew our house and our puppers were in great hands. Katie is the first person I would contact if I had to find a dog sitter again – she is awesome! Thanks Katie!!!

Victoria is amazing! We had her house sit for us for a week and she was very responsive with daily updates and photos. We came home to a clean house & happy animals; would definitely book her again!

Ashly came to our rescue when our scheduled pup-sitter sprained her ankle & we count ourselves lucky to have found her on Rover! Ashly far exceeded our expectations!! She was in frequent contact with us to check in & send photos/videos. asked great questions and assured us at every turn that our pups were in excellent hands! You can definitely tell she is an animal lover and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that our dogs were being VERY well cared for! We have used kennels in the past and it was a leap of faith to have someone we don’t know stay in our home, however since we have a senior dog this arrangement was ideal. We were so thankful that Ashly went the extra mile not only in cleaning up after our dogs but leaving our house extra clean and sparkling! We wouldn’t hesitate to remember Ashly for your pet-sitting needs & will definitely plan to hire her again in the future!

Madison was a fantastic pet sitter on fairly short notice. She provided multiple updates and photos of our pets every day. She kept us well apprised of their schedules and activities. Most importantly, they seemed happy, healthy and well cared for with her. Upon our return, we found the house and pets in excellent condition. I would not hesitate to hire her again!

Stephanie took great care of our two pets while housesitting over a long weekend. She provided regular updates with the cutest photos of her playing with them, and they looked like they had a blast! We would definitely rebook with Stephanie again!

Olivia is a sweetheart. Very attentive, clean and loving. I got home and no surprises! Clean and neat. She even shoved my front yard.

I was able to book Cameron to watch my 4 month old golden retriever, with only a few days notice, and we really lucked out! He brought along his dog Nova for a house sitting evening and we were very pleased. My pup has a great time with both Cameron and Nova and was all tucked in his crate for bed, as instructed, when we got home that night.
