House Sitting in Lake Cowichan

“At first we were nervous to let someone we don't know stay at our home, but Kylee arranged to meet us a few days earlier to introduce herself, which put all of the uncertainty aside. She is friendly, courteous, and I had no doubt she would take good care of Josie, Jenny and Thandi...and of course our home. To look after 3 dogs, one still a pup, is a tall order, but Kylee was a real trooper and did an amazing job! She communicated well and kept up us up to speed with how they were doing during our trip. Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy. We will certainly make use of your services again :-)”

“I have known Kathy as a close friend, for approximately 15 years. She is always kind, compassionate and gives from her heart. I have witnessed Kathy interact with many cats and dogs, always with love and respect, whether she knows them well or has just met them. They always seem to be attracted to her and before long they allow her to bestow them with a never ending supply of kisses! In addition, Kathy will stay true to a commitment, treat your place with care and respect and will show you consideration and communicate well. Kathy has cared for my cat, dog and home in the past and I recommend her 100%.”

“I have to say if you are visiting Tofino and you need your dog walked or watched for the day Claire was amazing !! I am from Ontario and I flew out to Vancouver Island to travel the island and during my stay in tofino - Claire watched Stella ( golden Retriever ) while I was on a whale watching tour. Claire sent me the most adorable photos of my dog and took her on a 12 km hike !!! She was extremely helpful and so super friendly !! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect first experience with Rover !!”

“I had Leesa house/pet sit last year for me. I was gone for three months, and she looked after my two dogs. The dogs enjoyed walks, and lots of love from her I’d recommend Leesa to anyone looking for a loving, caring pet sitter while they are away. 🐾❤️🐾”

“Pat is a very loving, giving, compassionate person who views animals with the same respect as people. Our pets are our family members, something Pat deeply understands. She took care of our golden retriever with kindness, love & efficiency. Carla K.”

“Jillian cared greatly for my two dogs and cat while I was away for nine days. I had a bit of anxiety about leaving my animals, but Jillian communicated with me multiple times a day, and sent many photos of all of them. She went above and beyond my expectations and thoroughly cleaned my whole house before we arrived back home. It was wonderful coming back and not having to clean anything! I couldn’t have found a better house sitter for my fur babies. I know they miss her already! Will definitely be booking with her again 😊”

“Geoff babysat our 2 large breed dogs for 5 days and from what we can tell, both dogs were happy and peaceful when we returned! He also took good care of our many plants and the house was nice and clean. He is responsive, courteous and realiable. Thanks Geoff! Will book again.”

“Marika is very responsive, communicative, and responsible. I trust my aging fur babies with her!”

“Elizabeth was excellent - clearly understood the specific needs of our rescue greyhound and we came home to a very calm and happy dog. Elizabeth is friendly, competent and experienced. Highly recommend.”

About: Hello my name is Amanda! So just a little about me. Ever since i was a baby, i have never been without a pet. Most of which were dogs. I've loved each one equally each were a unique. I love my dogs like their my kids and, what I mean is that I will always protect them even if it means putting myself at risk. I look for like-minded people that feel the same. Its a scary thing trusting someone with your pet. Let me at least meet them, they can decide whether or not they like me and we can go from there. Hope to hear from you FEEL CONFIDENT that your fur baby is safe with me (dog,cat,hamster,ferret,bird, etc.). I will treat each one as if they were my own, which means lots of kisses, hugs and play fighting whatever they need. I have various availability that doesn't always match up with the calendar so if you need someone, I may be able to help you! Just ask!! :) I currently work mainly from home so at the moment gives me a ton of availability as I can easily move my work outside my home. I have a patio that could be closed off if necessary. Some pets are flight risks (run out the door, first chance) so I never leave a building unless your pet is secure

“Kelly took the most amazing care of our fur babies while we were out of town! Sent photo updates and took special care of our high maintenance pets. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Fantastic communication and made sure our beloved dog was well cared for. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing our dog was safe in her care. Thank you so much!”

About: My name is Ashley and I am a SAHM, I currently have 3 dogs who are all huskys, Luna, Aurora and Koda and a cat, Cali. I love all animals! All thoughout my life I have always had a lot of pets. At one point we had 25 kittens that we rescued off of the native reserves and found homes for them to be fostered in the city via ARF. I found alot of fulfillment from carrying for these animals and finding their forever homes. Thanks for checking out my page today. Please let me know if your interested and I can plan something that works for you. I offer babysitting in your own home and walking or potty brakes anytime of day. I'm located in Lake Cowichan. Im a SAHM so can really be available when ever. Let me know what works for you and Im sure we can figure something out. We let our animals live like people. We care for them as if they were our kids and I think every pet should be loved

“Bryana is a wonderful, caring, and upbeat person. I've seen her many times with dogs and trust her completely, so we arranged 'dog walk trades' where we would take turns with each others' dogs, thus allowing for longer walks for the dogs... My pup always came home very happy! There's not that many people I trust to take care of my dog, but she is certainly one of them, and I have no doubt that she will devote the same love and care into any pet, no matter how long she's known them.”

“Amy formed a bond with Shaté right from the get go. Came back from a very tired trip to find my cat really calmed...and happy. So yes, i recomnand Amy.”

“My sweet little Gretsch passed away last fall at the ripe old age of nearly 19, but if she were still around I would not hesitate to have Joey look after her, as he did many times throughout her long life. Joey is a kind and responsible person who I would trust with looking after any animal or human that I love!”

About: Animal lover, traveller, marine biologist. I love all that is nature. I would love to help take care of your animals and home while you are having your own adventures! For a year in 2020-2021 I lived on a hobby farm in Cedar, BC. There I helped care for 4 collies, one cat, 2 horses and 2 sheep! It made me realize how valuable time taking care of animals and property is. I am looking to build these skills while saving money to invest in a property of my own down the line. Currently in a career restructuring I am available to Housesit and look after your pets 24/7. My weekly routine is extremely open and I am very flexible with your schedule. Given my experience living on the farm I detailed in Cedar, I am ready to take care of your indoor or outdoor pets however you prefer!

“Julika is a very dependable and caring individual and has been my primary dog sitter. A great communicator and trustworthy, I highly recommend her services!”

“Lisa did a great job. Came over ahead of time to meet the dogs and get instructions. She cared for our two dogs and when I got home they were happy and settled. She also respected our house with care and attention so when I got home everything was tidy and in its place. A competent and capable sitter for the dogs and our house.”

“I am thrilled to share my experience with Wendy, my trusted dog walker. From the moment I met Wendy I knew that she would be the perfect fit for my furry friend. What sets Wendy apart is her level of professionalism, reliability, and commitment to her job. She is always punctual and shows up at the same time every time without fail. I appreciate the regular updates and pictures she sends me during the walk, which show how happy and content my dog is. Wendy is also very flexible and accommodating, and she has been able to adjust to my schedule changes and even accommodate last-minute requests. But what truly sets Wendy apart is her love for dogs. She treats my furry friend as if they were her own, providing the love and attention that all dogs deserve. I can see how much my dog loves and trusts Wendy, and it gives me great comfort knowing that my pet is in good hands. Overall, I highly recommend Wendy as a dog walker. Their professionalism, reliability, and love for dogs are unmatched. Thank you, Wendy, for taking such great care of my beloved pet!”
