“Andrea was amazing! We have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people and her deteriorating eyesight and hearing can make leaving her with a new person very stressful for us and her. Andrea had a very gentle and calm approach with our dog which allowed her space to feel comfortable. Her updates gave us peace of mind and when we picked her up she seemed at home in her house. It was so comforting for us to know Riley was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Andrea as she clearly has a great energy and connection with dogs putting them at ease.”

“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”

She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Your pup will never get bored at our house! We know that a TIRED dog is a HAPPY dog. That's why we make it a priority to exercise and stimulate our furry friends first thing, and throughout the day, every day. There is nothing more satisfying than a calm, tired dog! We are a dog loving family with two sons, ages 11 and 14, with many years of experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am a stay at home mom and Travis works from home 3 out 5 days, so your pup will never be lonely. I love the excuse to get out for early morning hikes and the opportunity to walk as a family after school and in the evenings. We have a large property with lots of space to run and play and multiple beaches, including a dog park, within walking distance. And there will be no shortage of cuddles and stimulation at our house - the kids love to play and engage with all dogs. Who knows? Your pooch may even come home with some new tricks! We are comfortable with all ages, breeds and sizes and we are confident and experienced dog handlers. We truly care about providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for every dog who stays with us. When your dog is with us, they are part of the family. When you're on vacation, they'll be on vacation too! Our family is available to care for your dog 24/7! Pup care is my main gig and I have a flexible schedule. Being home with your pup or keeping them by my side is my priority. Because we only take a maximum of 2 dogs at a time, you can leave your pup knowing they are getting highly individualized care. Please note, if our calendar is showing availability, there is a chance we have 1 other dog booked who has been pre-screened to socialize well with other dogs. Our big yard has lots of space to play, however it is not fenced so we will never leave your dog outside unattended. In our home your dog will be loved and cared for as our own and we will do everything we can to make them feel comfortable. We are happy to accommodate your dog's regular routine to help make the transition as easeful as possible. Our cat, R2D2, generally ignores dogs and spends his nights outside but if your dog has a strong prey drive or tendency to chase cats, they might not be the best fit.
“Criofan was great, we were travelling from Edmonton and decided to do a last minute Whale Watching Tour. Within 5 minutes Criofan responded and we had Luna booked in to play for the day. We really appreciated the late night pick up at 10pm, was flexible for us to enjoy our time in Victoria without feeling rushed. The drive was only 20 mins, but was definitely worth the drive, huge space for Luna to run with Albert. Really appreciated the messages after dropping Luna off, put my mind at ease that she was behaving. Highly recommend, we got back a happy tired pooch!”
“Woody was very comfortable staying with Alanna! Alanna sent us photos and a video during the day, reporting on his activity. She had an old pug so the two old guys kept each other and Alanna company all day. Alanna was very flexible and accommodating of the day care—I recommend her totally!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with family dogs and cats and, until recently, shared my life with two incredible dogs of my own. I was a Rover client for years and always appreciated the peace of mind it brought me. I’m excited to give back and spend time with your animals. We live in a house with a fenced yard and a dog door that can be blocked or open. I love being outside and going for walks, and I especially enjoy building trust through positive reinforcement and trick training. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, particularly those who walk well on leash. I’m also a nurse, which gives me a strong comfort level with administering medications , whether it’s an easy pill pocket or a more challenging situation. I’ve had experience giving medications to both cooperative and more anxious dogs, and I always approach it with patience and gentleness. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some cuddles, or a bit of extra care, I’d love the chance to be there for them. I am a nurse with flexibility with my schedule. I have lots of free time during the day for dog walking and pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve whether it’s a mid-morning walk, afternoon playtime or all day company. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, quirks, and routines. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for and keeps their routine.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles since I was 10. Trusted by friends, family and neighbours to follow strict care plans and medication instructions I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to cuddle and care for your pets. My work schedule is often fluid so I can make sure I’m home whenever needed. I live in an apartment right on the Galloping Goose Trail that is perfect for long walks. I have a very social cat who loves playing with other cats and dogs, perfect if you are wanting to socialize your fur baby’s.
About: As a dog parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and can help with walks, feeding, meds, and play. I treat every pup like my own—with love, patience, and lots of attention. Im currently working remotely so have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pup! I have a black lab that loves to play and is always looking for a new buddy. I live close to a fenced dog park and lots of dog friendly walking trails. I have a dog of my own so I know how scary it can be to leave your fur baby but in my care they will have a furry friend as well as me.
About: I have owned cats since I was a child and been around dogs for many years. I work closely with a family who have a Golden doodle who I love very much. I am great at following direction on your training cues and guidelines. I will love your animal as you do. I am looking to fill my schedule to accommodate your holidays, I work 830-3 till end of June then off for the summer months, before continuing my Monday to Friday job. I will offer care at pets home, and follow the owners rules of picking up after them and caring for your animal as the owner does.
About: I have had animals my entire life and have been extremely involved in training and ensuring they get the best care possible! I have done a lot of dog training in reactivity, separation anxiety, and use positive reinforcement to ensure that the relationship between me and my pet(s) is built on love and trust. With every new pet, I let them approach me and I build a foundation of trust so that obedience is not something forced but given! I work part time but I have blocked out those days so that it won’t interfere, but other wise I work 7 hour shifts so if your pet is staying when I am working, they would have to be comfortable being home alone for those hours I care for my pets by using positive reinforcement and consistency. Consistency is key and is very beneficial for ensuring my pets can succeed in all aspects of their lives. I understand dog body language and know when to approach, let them be, or let them come to me. It’s about listening to boundaries, just like with us humans!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for and raised animals of all kinds, from puppies and rescue dogs to farm animals and small pets. My own rescue dog, Indigo, taught me so much about patience, compassion, and attentive care as I supported her through both IVDD and cancer. Through that experience, I became very comfortable with medication routines, mobility support, changing needs, and providing calm, loving care through every stage of an animal’s life. I’ve also raised puppies and lived on a farm where I regularly cared for large farm dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for many different animals, including parrots, snakes, hamsters, fish, rabbits, and other small pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while their owners are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I’m also a very active person and usually spend hours outside walking every day, so I’d genuinely love some furry companionship along the way - whether your dog prefers long adventures, slower sniff walks, or lots of playtime and attention. I live in a detached home with a fully fenced backyard and no other animals in the home, creating a calm and safe environment for your pet. I take animal care very seriously and have always treated every pet - whether my own or someone else’s - with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I cared for my sweet dog Indigo through both IVDD and cancer, which gave me firsthand experience supporting animals with medical needs, mobility limitations, medication routines, and changing comfort levels. That experience taught me that every animal is unique, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual routines, personalities, and care needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for about 3 years now, and I also worked at Pet Valu for 2 years, which taught me a lot about dog nutrition, health, and behaviour. I got really comfortable understanding different temperaments, keeping playtime safe, and knowing what different dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds! puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, and the more shy or anxious ones too. I make sure every dog gets attention, affection, and a routine they’re comfortable with. I like to keep things fun, calm, and stress free, and I always treat pets like my own while they’re with me. I offer daily updates (with cute photos), exercise and enrichment, walks, feeding, cuddles, and just making sure your dog feels loved and secure while you’re away! I currently work part-time, which means I have lots of extra time and flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, enrichment, and just spending time with your dog so they feel safe and loved! Whether your pet needs extra attention, playtime, or calm companionship I’m able to fit it into my routine easily! I provide attentive, loving care for pets in their own home, keeping their routines and environment consistent. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have access to fresh water, and get the attention, playtime, and exercise they need. I maintain a safe environment by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring for any hazards, and following all specific instructions from the owner. I also keep the home clean and comfortable, and provide updates to owners so they can have peace of mind while away.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for dogs and cats since childhood. I’ve dog-sat for neighbors, taken friends’ dogs on hikes, and have experience with puppies, senior pets, and reactive dogs who need extra patience. I’ve also house-sat for families with cats and am comfortable with feeding, walks, baths, medication reminders, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets with different needs. I’m currently taking time off working in health care, and am available all day to look after your pet! I enjoy staying at home and getting out for walks in the neighborhood. Pets in my home get a calm, cozy environment that feels like a second home. I live in a two story loft suite, have a front yard (unfenced) and am a 3 minute walk away from View Royal dog park. I will follow your pet’s feeding, walk, and bedtime routines, and I supervise outdoor time with secure leashes/harnesses—no off-leash areas unless you approve. I’m comfortable with reactive or anxious pets and give them space to warm up at their own pace. I keep my home clean, safe, and free from hazards, and I send regular photo updates so you always feel connected while you’re away.
“Sarah did a great job with Leo he had so much fun while we were away with long walks every day and lots of socialization with other dogs. He seems to be really excited when he arrives at her house. Thanks!”
About: Since I can remember I’ve had such a love for animals and their beautiful personalities and energy. Since approximately 12 years of age I’ve cared for and raised dogs. My husband and I have had two wonderful companions for 16-18 years who are sadly no longer with us. We continue to want to have animals in our life and help where we can. We have experience with puppies , middle aged, and senior pups and love all the stages that each age ranges bring. With family member we understand the utmost care and trust is needed. When we had our two dogs our lives definitely revolved around the both of them. Whether it be walking, feeding, playing and medications - they always came first. They were family. Our home consists of 2.5 floors. We have hardwood and carpets (runners) available for dogs who have traction issues. We can carry dogs that weigh up to 20 Ibs up and down if needed if they are older and also utilize baby gates. Water is available up and down and we also have AC.
“Rose took great care of my dog over several days, sending photos of the dog every day along with comments about how she was doing. I will book with Rose again and would recommend her to anyone.”
