About: I’ve taken care of Animals my entire life. We’ve had dogs and cats, goats and chickens. Rabbits and hamsters. We have a very flexible schedule. We are very nurturing and just love animals I have a Very flexible schedule. So fitting in pet care into my daily and weekly routine, can be made a top priority. I can work around your schedule. I have a fenced yard in our home. So lots of outside time. Daily walks or multiple times a day. I can trim nails if needed. Or bathing and grooming. I can administer medication if needed. Please just let me know what your needs are, and I can accommodate.
About: We had to say goodbye to our sweet dog last fall and would welcome some occasional furry love in our home again! I understand what’s involved in taking care of a dog properly, all while giving them love and attention. I raised a vizsla dog from puppy through to senior and passing on. He had epilepsy which required daily medication his whole life, was a high energy alpha male, and had lots of minor medical issues. I also grew up with a collie-shepherd rescue when I was younger. During the summer months I don’t work, so looking to add a furry friend to our family while I’m home. I have kids, so while we may go out for occasional outings, if the dog isn’t joining us, the dog would only be home for a few hours. During the school year, I would only be gone weekdays for 4-6 hours. I have a fenced rural property (just under an acre) on the edge of Comox, with access to trails and beaches, galore! There is a mudroom inside our home that is a safe place to leave a dog, or a crate if they feel safe. My children understand how to approach and treat dogs carefully and respectfully (they are 7 and 10 years old). With some blankets on the couch, your dog is welcome up for some cuddles! The house is well setup for a dog, as our last one lived here too. There is always access to fresh water for your pup, we have a walk in shower with easy access from the door on tile, and our home is a comfortable temperature year round with a heat pump.
“Lorena and Michael took fantastic care of my husky, Nova! She’s a rescue and has some quirks, but they were great with all her needs and very communicative while we were away. Their dog Leia was very sweet and receptive to Nova’s boundaries, and Michael was very knowledgeable with dog cues and behaviour which gave me great confidence in leaving my pup with them. I would leave Nova with them again in a heartbeat! Thanks again.”
“Cat did a wonderful job caring for Dale! She has a lovely home and property with lots of room to run and play. Excellent communication throughout stay and her dogs were very welcoming to ours. Would highly recommend getting in contact with Cat for any caregiving. Thanks so much Cat, look forward to bringing Dale over again sometime!”
“Sean and his wife are wonderfully warm and welcoming. Our dog was comfortable right away in their home. Sean has previous experience with training and caring for his dogs. Our boy had just received surgery and Sean was respectful of his aftercare. I enjoyed the photos they would send me. When the time comes I would definately call them again!”
“Aparna took excellent care of my dog. Honey went on a long off leash walk everyday and was given lots of time with enrichment toys. Honey loved hanging out with Aparna’s dog. I received many pictures and videos from Aparna. This was my first experience with Rover and it was a very positive experience. I definitely recommend Aparna as a pet sitter!”

“Hannah was so wonderful with my cat, and provided detailed notes and photos each visit. She made sure to follow and confirm feeding instructions, and spent high quality time grooming and playimg with my cat. If my cat could speak I think she would say she was spoiled with loving attention from Hannah!”
“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”

I'm currently completely my masters and working part time. Recently moved back to the Comox Valley. My time currently is pretty flexible. Excited to help. Happy to take your dog for a walk, or looked after your house and pets while you are away. Excited to work with you and your pets.
“Fiona took care of our two cats over the weekend, one of them being a very high energy Bengal cat. She was very communicative and made sure to take our bengal cat Simba out for his daily walks, which isn’t typical for most cat sitting jobs. We very much appreciated, having the peace of mind that our for babies were well taken care of. We recommend trusting Fiona with your pets and home.”
“Anthony took great care of my cat when I was away, she is very anxious and shy but I felt confident leaving my cat with him, he even took my mail in and sent me updates and a little video to reassure me! I would definitively book Anthony again!!”
“Carissa was amazing with our cat Nakita! She was very thorough on our first meeting and avidly played with our cat Nakita. Our cat has a bit of separation anxiety and needs lots of company, attention, and entertainment which Carissa seemed to fulfill even in a short visit. Carissa sent us lots of photo updates and detailed check ins. Nakita was so happy and content when we got home. We will 100% book with her again!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life, most recently my boy Tas who I had for 11 great years. I love animals and will treat them with care and respect. I work a set schedule and look after pets on my days off. I have my own space with no other animals. They will be alone for minimal time in my care. I have a fenced yard, one small dog lives upstairs, who is very friendly. We have a forested area with trails where I will walk your pup.
“Marie was so helpful and great with our cat! Our cat is very shy with new people normally, but she went up to Marie right away and was very comfortable with her. She responded very quickly and was flexible with meet up times, highly recommend :)”
About: I cared for my own two cats for 17 years and supported their elder years with special diets and meds. I was a fan of the pine and natural types of litters and understand that cats are particular and need a daily scooped litter box. I have a health care background and a deep sense of compassion and care. Though I tried to convince my cats of the merits of harness walks, they would have none of it! I'd love to 'walk' your cat on a harness if that's what they'd like. I love playing 'fetch' with cats and interacting with lots of cat toys and just generally sharing space with them.
About: I was one of those people who "didn't like cats" until my boyfriend convinced me to rescue a barn cat and now I am OBSESSED and also got another cat. Over the last 3 years I have become a crazy cat lady and my cats' happiness = my happiness. I go out of my way to give them enrichment, quality food and a clean home (and litter box that is cleaned daily). I would be honoured to care for your beloved cat as well.

“Really pleased with the expierence! Andrew and Diana are knowledgeable about dogs and seem very competent and thorough with their screening process. My dog Skye seemed very happy with her visit! I am booking my next appointment with them as soon as I finish writing this review. LOL”
“Amber did a fabulous job taking care of Ranger. She was calm and thoughtful with our exuberant young husky. Communication with Amber was easy and she sent lots of photos to keep us up to date. I am pretty sure Ranger looked back over his shoulder as we walked back to the car at the end of the day. I would recommend Amber and will call on her again.”
“Leaving my puppy with Jaqueline was an absolute peace of mind. She was very kind and took care of my puppy in his last days of wearing the cone after his neutering surgery. My puppy loved staying with Jaqueline!”
“Janine took good care of Darla while I went to go check out the Tulip Festival. Took her on a walk to the beach and ensured she was quite entertained. Janine also frequently sent photo updates and quite responsive when I asked how Darla was doing. ☺️ Highly recommend getting her as a dog sitter.”
“Robin had the best time at Marie’s, her dogs are super gentle and friendly and they entertained him all day. She was also very responsive on the pre- planning Thanks for great sitting!”
About: I’m Sandy — an animal-loving sitter with 30+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Pet sitting lets me combine my love of travel and animals while giving pets lots of love and their owners a completely worry-free vacation. I’ve spent decades involved in Pomeranian rescue, performed home checks for Little Paws Rescue, and most recently was a flight angel bringing two pups from Mexico to their forever homes. I’m especially good with seniors, shy animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work part-time remotely, so your pets get plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a non-smoker with a peaceful, easygoing demeanor. I enjoy quiet hobbies like reading and yoga — which helps create a calm, relaxing environment for the pets I care for. I’m clean, respectful, and will look after your home as if it were my own. 🐾 Optional: I share my life with a gentle, well-socialized Pomeranian named Sable. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, and is fully housetrained, friendly, and easygoing. If you’re open for her to join me, she makes a sweet, low-maintenance companion — but she’s just as happy staying at home if you’d prefer a pet-free sit. References available. *Sable's reference: She was a therapy dog at the last dental office I worked at. She helped calm nervous patients, especially children. This speaks volumes about her character. I work from remotely part time. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets and caring for you home while you are away. While you are away, I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. My priority will be to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while also making sure your home is safe and well cared for. Pet care will include: Feeding your pets according to their regular schedule and instructions. Providing fresh water every day. Giving medications or supplements as directed, if required. Making sure they receive their usual exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship. Keeping litter boxes, food areas, and other pet areas clean. Watching for any changes in their behaviour, appetite, or overall well-being and contacting you if I have any concerns. Sending you updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you're away. Home care will include: Keeping the home clean and tidy. Bringing in mail, packages, and newspapers. Taking garbage and recycling out as needed. Watering plants according to your instructions. Following any instructions for heating, lights, security systems, or other household routines. Making sure doors and windows are secure when I leave. Letting you know right away about any maintenance issues or unexpected problems. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings and will do my best to leave everything in the same condition as when you left. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life. I have owned my own dogs for the last 17 years. My dogs have always been family members to me and are included in everything I do. I have experience administering medications, supplements and dealing with senior pooches in the past. I have cared for many family, friends and acquaintances pets over the years, including multiple at one time. I currently am at home and available 7 days per week. My husband works full time and is off on weekends. I love to go on daily walks (often multiple) and am always up for weekend adventures at the lake, beach or in the forest with whatever furry friends I have tagging along. I have a fully fenced 1 acre property located in the Alberni Valley, about 15 minutes drive from town. I love walking the many nature trails in our area with my dog. Aside from a daily walk or two, weather dependant, you will typically find us outside on the property, gardening or just relaxing. I understand the importance of meeting the specific needs of certain dog breeds, both physical and mental, as I have a Border Collie who requires a fair amount of stimulation (if ya know, ya know). My home is spacious and well set up for doggies to enjoy both outside and indoors. No couch is off limits for the pups! My girl Millie is very well socialized and loves meeting new doggies of all shapes and sizes. Her many doggie friends will tell you she is very calm and well mannered. I do have free range chickens on our property, but haven’t had any issues with proper introduction and supervision, even with dogs who have never been around them before. I would care for your pup as if it were my own and ensure they had nothing but the best time during their stay! They may not even want to leave!
“Cat was amazing. I felt safe to leave Bug with her lovely dogs. She made his stay comfortable and I am happy with the services. Cat was very flexible with the needs and was very welcoming and friendly. I would use her service again if I want another dog sitting day. And 100% recommend her to anyone.”
“Aparna was amazing! We were visiting from Vancouver for a wedding and were so glad we found her. Great communication before and during with lots of pictures updates, so welcoming, and Ginny had the best time ever! Would 100% recommend, thank you so much 🙏”
About: I work from home and go for frequent walks with my dog. Our place backs onto a green space so we are out a lot. I work from home and set aside time each morning, afternoon and evening for walks, and can be available if they need to go out. We have a large fenced yard with space to run and play. I always make sure there is plenty of fresh water available, and of course give lots of love and pets.
About: Had dogs all my life and trained and rehabilitated my 15 year old border collie. Recently said good bye to both family dogs. Experience with puppies, senior dogs, unique dog medical needs, and nervous dispositions. I work full time from home, can offer daily dog walks, very active family life on the weekend. Dogs can come along for any and all the adventures where appropriate. Biking, hiking, beach plays, trail runs. Back yard not fenced, very friendly German Shepard shares the yard. Steps away from the beach so many strolls for sniffs and pee breaks. One very excited toddler to pet and play. Has learned to be gentle with dogs.
“I’m would definitely use Yasmine again. She was great with Jasper, clear communication before, while and after. We were just visiting and needed someone to care for Jasper while out whale watching and she was perfect and convenient for the marina.”
“Crysta is such an amazing sitter! She welcome my last-minute request and was super communicative and accommodating. She took such great care of my pup Reggie and was extra thoughtful and responsible with caring for animals through a heatwave. She provides a calm, loving, cozy environment, and enough enrichment that had Reggie super happy and tired at the end of the day. I don’t think he wanted to leave! I wholeheartedly recommend Crysta and am so grateful to have found her. She’s also just a really cool person!”

“Brynne responded right away to a short notice request to exercise kali for 3 days, 1 hour walks. She met up with my son the that evening for an introduction. Brynne was flexible with her schedule, professional and most of all Kali responded very well to her. Thank you 😊”
“I would highly recommend Fiona to any pet parents as your pet sitter. She’s a responsible person. She gives you feedback every time. I’ve used rover more than 50 times, I can tell that Fiona is my dog’s favorite sitter above all other sitters she ever met. My dog would quickly running to my door and wagging her little tail waiting to be picked up by Fiona the second she heard Fiona’s footsteps. She’s just so happy. That never happened to her before with other dog sitters. The bond between my dog and Fiona is amazing. I never told Fiona how much I appreciate her love and patience to my dog because I’m not a girl who’s good at socializing and expressing myself. But the truth is that I can always trust Fiona with my dog because I know she’s in good hands. The smile on my dogs face melted my heart. I truly appreciate it. Thank you Fiona!”
“I was feeling a little worried about how Milo would react going out without me and very pleasantly surprised that he didn’t act up. Just a bit resistant but went along. Bailey is calm and talks in a nice tone to Milo. He didn’t have cause for alarm because of everything being low key and matter of fact. I’m very impressed with Bailey. He’s a very personable young man. I’m having him come tomorrow as well. I think Milo will soon really look forward to going out with Bailey.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs with diabetes and epilepsy, working dogs (boxer, gsp, Aussie) as well as smaller bichons and frenchies. I’m between dogs personally and ready to care for your fur baby. Recently retired and flexible in my routines both day and night. I’ve been travelling and dog sitting along the way. Will get 10,000 daily steps in with or without a leashed friend. Can do off leash playtime once I’m assured of your pet’s recall skills. I have a fenced yard and a 5km paved path network at my disposal for care at my home. I would follow your routines at your home.
“Amelia is very professional, reliable, and kind. I have a very sensitive and at times anxious pup, and Amelia took the time to come meet him prior so we knew it was the right fit. Amelia is extremely patient and positive with my dog and I would 💯 recommend her services :)”
“I definitely recommend Alexia to look after your pet - she is responsive, attentive, super considerate and kind. Her prior experience with reactive dogs was evident and she took great care of my dog Luke, who's a large anxious rescue with some big feelings!”
About: I have had dog and cat friends for as long as I can remember. For the past two years, I have been commissioned to take care of my friends and family members furry companions with increasing regularity and have decided that this the best possible way for me to continue doing what I enjoy. My availability is if flexible at the moment as I relocated to the Valley two years ago and have switched gears career-wise. My wife and I have a roommate so boarding is not an option. I am adaptable and consider myself extended family while continuing with daily routines and care needs for each individual furry friend. We will have a fun time together, guaranteed. I endeavour to respectfully leave you home the way I found it.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic routine care. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I treat pets like family and always follow owners’ instructions closely. I work part-time as a Pilates instructor, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of free time for pet care. I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, and I can easily adjust my schedule to fit walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide attentive supervision, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I always respect my client’s home and instructions.
