House Sitting Bennington

“Victor was great to work with and went above and beyond to care for our pack. He was always on time, communicated quickly, left our house in great shape, and even stayed late to make sure our dogs got their night treat and evening walk before we returned home. I would happily work with him again.”

About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.

“Zahara did such a great job with my puppy! He warmed up super quickly and I loved getting photos of what they were up to. Thank you so much, hope to have Kai taken care of again by you soon :)”

“Brigit is so sweet. Bailey adored her. This is a game changer. Our dog seemed much less stressed out by the whole thing by being home. We will see Brigit again for sure.”

“Lyla did a great job getting to know our timid pup in the short time she was here. Our dog was happy when we got home and the house was in good order. Lyla also has been very prompt and helpful in all of her communications with us, during booking and throughout her stay. We’ll definitely rebook with her!”

“Janesia did a great job with our pup Charlie! She kept in touch with messages and pictures throughout the stay. Our house was clean when we arrived home and she even left us some homemade cupcakes. She was very professional, friendly, and attentive. We look forward to her pet sitting for us in the future!”

“Brooklyn was so good with our pups. They’re both older now and require more care. She handled all their needs so well and was always responsible about communicating with us as needed. Also appreciate how many photos she sends of our dogs through the days. Definitely recommend her services if she is available.”

About: After becoming an elementary school teacher 15 years ago, I began dog sitting for coworkers and some of my parents friends. Then, 10 years ago, I adopted my own dog, Moxie. My 14 year old girl would love to have some friends over to play, she still has a lot of energy for a senior dog! She is fixed, about 45 lbs, fully vaccinated, and gets along with most dogs, especially smaller dogs, we would just need to have them meet first. We have a cozy home with a fully fenced yard in SE Vancouver. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with vision, hearing, and mobility challenges, dogs that take oral medication, and administering diabetes medication syringes. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule! Please reach out and let me know what daily or weekly routine works best for you and your pet. I have a fully fenced yard, a 14 year old female schnauzer mix that loves to play, prefer crate trained dogs for when I’m away during the day, but dogs are free to roam my house when I’m home and can sleep in my room at night.

“Skyler was very attentive to our dog, Remi’s needs, and maintained her daily schedule. She communicated well and sent pictures. Remi is high anxiety, she seemed to be comfortable with Skyler. She even continued to play with Skyler and her son after we returned home. Would definitely recommend for your pet care needs”

“Cody did a great job looking after our two dogs for 2 weeks and left the house in great condition after he left. He was diligent about sending photos and videos, and always answered questions/concerns in a timely manner. Will absolutely book with Cody again for future trips!”

“My baby Charlie(Ragdoll cat) spent 4 days and 3 nights with Jen. I loved and appreciated the pictures she sent each day. Another thing I appreciated so much was the note she left my friend and myself. She is very kind and humble, and I believe took really good care of Charlie. I’ll be calling Jen again.”

About: Growing up around guide dogs taught me a lot about how to truly care for our 4 legged friends. I’ve been around dogs from all backgrounds, including anxious rescues. I take the approach of maximizing comfort and trust from all animals I care for, especially dogs. Your companion is safe with me for whatever you may need me to do! From walks, to feedings + water refresh, play time, potty breaks, extended games of fetch, etc..I’m happy to help! I’m currently not working, so most drop in times work for me! Currently unavailable Thursday mornings from 10:00-12:30. Located in east Vancouver, willing to drive! Comfort and trust is my #1 priority when providing care. It’s imperative that both you and your furry loved ones know I will always be a safe, loving, and respectful sitter to you, your baby, and your home. Whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable around me is what I’ll do!

“Eric did a great job with the dogs and made friends with our cat, which only likes us occasionally. The house was clean, the plants watered, and he took the time to send us daily pics. Eric was great.”

“Savanna was lovely! My dog and cat seemed to get along with her very well. She also was kind enough to manage our dog during the last week of her Heat and took it seriously. It was unfortunate timing but all went well and we really appreciated her. The house also looked great and overall things went very well. I would highly recommend her!”

Leah U.

“Shani always takes great care of the pups and house, provides daily updates, and sends lots of photos. We hope to have her care for the pups in the future!”

Dana M.

“Jessica took great care of our pup. She clearly has a lot of knowledge and familiarity with dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving town knowing she was taking care of our 9 month old puppy. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”

Beth R.

“Kaitlyn genuinely joyed taking care of my pets. They are both on medications and it's challenging to dispense them correctly. It was done perfectly. She took really cute pictures of them and kept in touch with how things were going. I am hiring her again!”

About: I am obsessed with every animal under the sun, although the fluffy ones are my favorite. I have had a snake and hermit crabs as pets (in addition to the usual dogs and cats). I am notorious for remembering a pet's name while forgetting the name of their human. Nothing gives me more joy than meeting a new animal and learning all their quirks. I especially love working with pets who need a little extra care and attention. I spent five years living with a highly reactive dog, and have done reactivity training with my own dog for around 4 years. I have also served as a dog-walker for the local animal shelter, performing basic leash training with high-energy dogs. I really enjoy working animals on their terms - I am happy to sit quietly with a dog or cat until they feel comfortable enough to approach me. One of the reasons I like house-sitting and drop-ins are because pets tend to be much more confident and comfortable in their home, especially with a stranger. Whatever their needs, I will make sure to keep them comfy and happy. I have a flexible schedule and generally accommodate with enough notice. My transportation options are somewhat limited, so I prefer to work local to Vancouver. I am very respectful of my client's home and their established routine. I will work with you beforehand to make sure all your pet's needs are addressed.

“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”

“Wonderful care for my two dogs. My youngest one had a dental procedure and teeth removed. Margherita was great and ensure he got his meds and love.”
