“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and have shared my life with many different personalities over the years, from playful and affectionate to shy, independent, and everything in between. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat as an individual and adapting to what makes them feel most comfortable. I understand that cats communicate in their own unique ways, and I’m usually able to tell when they’d like to play, when they want affection, and when they’d simply prefer some quiet space. I’m patient with timid cats, playful with energetic ones, and always respectful of their boundaries. More recently, I also helped care for two rescued kittens on a farm, watching them grow into confident, friendly, and independent cats. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away by keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’ll happily follow your care instructions and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in caring hands.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for family and friends since my teen years. I regularly care for my sisters Siberian Huskies, so I'm familiar with high energy pets! I also have an elderly cat of my own that I love dearly who I've had her entire life. I am currently only working a few side-hustles so my schedule is very flexible to meet your pet care needs. Let me know your pets regular schedule and my aim will be to keep things as consistent as I can for their comfort. My goal is to keep your pets on their regular schedule while you are away so that they are as comfortable as possible. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you updated on how they are doing during my stay!

“Natalia did an amazing job taking care of our 5 month old kitten! Great communication with frequent updates and pictures. Lily was well taken care of and we'll definitely be using Natalia's services again :)”

About: Mature and reliable pet care at your home or my home. Large fenced yard - daily walks and lots of cuddles. Have cared for various dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m currently working from home so am available to care for and walk your pet and can either care for them in your home or in my home. I have two friendly dogs who are used to sharing.

“Highly recommend Karuna for all your pet sitting needs she treats your pet like her own and is very reliable and attentive! She always leaves a detailed update and photos so your trip remains stress free. I would definitely recommend her services! 11/10”

“Kelly was terrific and took very good care of our kitties. She went above and beyond when our power went out while we were away. She also kept in touch with us during the entire duration so we knew everything was good at home.”
About: Hey! I’m a Veterinary Assistant with 4 years of experience working in clinic. This has taught me many valuable skills including post surgical / wound care, administration of various medications, dietary needs, and many other pet caring skills. I also have spent a great deal of time caring for my own elderly doggy who recently passed from cancer. This in conjunction with my training has given me a great deal of experience working with high need pets who require complicated care. I’ve also done some casual cat and dog sitting for family, friends, and coworkers. Since my own doggie passed I have been missing my pet time and thought this would be the perfect way to get my fix! :) This September I’ll be going into full time school, as a student I will need to be on the VIU campus for 2-8 hours daily on weekdays. I’ll be available for pet care before and after class, and all day on weekends. :) As someone who has worked with pets of all kinds with varying medical and physical needs you can rest assured that I will have both the skills and knowledge to give your pet the absolute best care!
About: I have been around pets my whole life. From a cat in my teens to a Bernese mountain dog. I have always loved being around animals. I currently work remote. I know schedules can be crazy and emergencies happen. That Is why I am making myself available anytime to play with your pets! It's all about them. I believe in coming in with great energy but not coming in too strong. I will make sure to fully understand your pet so they feel safe with me.
“Jessica was so great with our senior dog, really showed her good attention and took her for walks following her cues for limitations. We really appreciate her being available last minute, asking so many questions to provide the best care and really being professional and attentive. Would recommend 100%! Thanks Jessica!!”


About: I’ve had cats my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me I also completed my 208-hour practicum with the BC SPCA, where I cared for cats with a wide range of personalities and needs, learning about their behaviour, administering medication, and helping them prepare for their forever homes. I also have my own two-year-old cat, Cedar, who is my whole world. He’s been my adventure buddy on hikes, road trips, and even flights—he’s truly attached to my hip! I understand how much your cat means to you because I feel the same way about Cedar. I’ll care for your cat with the same patience, love, and attention that I give my own.
“Lindsey was wonderful! Max Mittens enjoyed her playtime, P2 hid as is his nature. Everything was as promised. I will definitely use Lindsey’s services again. Thank you, Lindsey!”

“Dorothy is true gem. She took care of my cat (and for awhile, my dog) during a very chaotic and stressful time for me. She was very kind, and flexible during this unpredictable period. She sent pics of my pets to me everyday, which was so comforting. (She even found a toy that my cat, who doesn't "do" toys, seemed to enjoy.) Superlative pet care. Thank you Dorothy. I have no hesitation in recommending you in the highest terms.”


“Very pleased with my experience with Siobhan, and lebron seemed sooo happy to spend time with her. Prior to her visit, she helped my dog to feel comfortable by popping over for a meet and greet, and even provided lebron with a delicious treat :) I absolutely loved getting pictures and updates during her visit. Siobhan also provided me with an extremely thorough visit card filled with information about her time spent with my dog. Thank you so much!! :)”

About: Animals have been my passion and career for over 10 years. My background includes working in dog daycares, veterinary medicine, and animal control, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I've welcomed many dogs into my home over the years and treat every pet like family. I currently have one dog and three cats, so my only requirement is that visiting dogs are social and comfortable around other animals. I look forward to giving your pet a safe, loving home away from home! As a stay-at-home mom to one child, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Your pet will be treated like part of the family while in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the day and can provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and lots of attention. Dogs will have access to a safe, comfortable home environment and plenty of supervised interaction. I have one dog and three cats, so I only accept dogs that are social and comfortable around other animals. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, loved, and at home while you're away.
“We really appreciated the updates and pictures. It is not easy for us to find good people fir our dog as she is really shy. But we had right away a good feeling that they are loving and patience enough. Thank you!”

“We are very happy with Callie's time with Susan and Robin. Callie was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. We definitely appreciate their care of Callie and highly recommend them.”

“Kelly and Natalie were exceptional.... I'm sure most people would have given me the eye roll as I spilled out the details of how Lukas does this and how to do that with Lukas.... like a new mom leaving her baby for the first time... but Kelly and Natalie patiently listened and paid close attention.... I left feeling absolutely confident that Lukas was in good hands!! To top it all off.... he had an AMAZING time and came home happy and tired from playing with his new best friends. He loved going on his big outdoor adventure walk.... and I loved getting the pictures and video. I would highly highly recommend Kelly and Natalie. They are officially our go to when Lukas needs daycare! I can't say enough about how happy I was. Thank you!!”

“Took great care of my pup! He came home absolutely spent and very happy. I’d feel more than comfortable leaving him in Lindsay’s hands the next time we need someone to look after him!”

About: Dog mom of Max since he was 8 weeks old. My parents used to breed miniature schnauzers, so it was really neat to be part of the process of birthing and puppy care ☺️ After an extended break from dog-sitting, I finally am settled in my own home. My partner and I recently moved to Nanaimo and are excited to explore! My partner and I work from home full-time, so our schedule is flexible for daily potty breaks, walks, outside playtime and snuggles. We also like visiting off-leash dog parks and the beach. Max is a very well loved pup! He is a member of the family, is allowed on the couch for a snuggle and sleeps at the foot of the bed. I love taking Max to off-leash dog parks and trails, so if that's appropriate for your dog, that's great too! I am happy to share lots of video and photos while your pup is in my care. I have an open-communication policy so if there is anything that concerns you, please ask!
“Morgan was so kind and patient throughout the whole process, from initial outreach to pickup! We have a younger dog, who can be vocal, but she and her partner managed him so well. Our pup was very excited to see her again after meeting her at the meet and greet! When we picked him up from daycare, he was happy, content, and well cared for. We will definitely be looking to book again.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life. We had hounds and a Bull Mastiff growing up, and I was hands-on with daily care and routines. I was mainly responsible for caring for our goats — including baby goats and milking — and I also helped out on neighbouring farms. I got my first dog at 21, and she was by my side for 13 wonderful years, so I understand the lifelong commitment, love, and responsibility that comes with caring for a dog. Over the years, I’ve regularly taken friends’ dogs on hikes, especially when living in the Interior — everything from extra-large breeds to tiny minis. I’m confident handling different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive experiences. We’re a pet-loving household, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I’m home during the work week, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a large property with a fully fenced back yard for safe outdoor time, as well as access to local wooded trails and paved paths for walks and enrichment. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling, and I tailor activity levels based on each dog’s needs — whether that’s a calm stroll, trail walk, or extra outdoor time. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will be treated like part of the family. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. We have a very friendly dog and two small children, so it’s important that visiting pets are comfortable around both. Our large, fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for supervised outdoor time. If your dog prefers one-on-one attention, I’m happy to offer solo walks or individualized care tailored to their needs. Whether your pup enjoys calm companionship, structured walks, or extra outdoor enrichment, I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and loving experience for every dog in my care.
“Laura was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. She was so gentle with Brunette, and I really appreciated that Brunette had the chance to interact with her children. It was such a positive experience for Brunette, and I could tell she felt comfortable and happy. Thank you, Laura, for your care and kindness!”

“This was our first walk with Karuna and we are thrilled to have found her. She’s got such a lovely presence, and I’m sure our animals would agree. Our rescue dog can be very reactive to new folks, but Karuna is patient and understanding and he is quickly becoming comfortable with her. We really appreciate Karuna’s obvious experience and comfort level with both dogs and cats and are looking forward to more dog walking and house sitting with her in the near future. Thanks Karuna!”

About: I have taken care of many different dogs, including border collies, havanese and husky mixes! I grew up doing dog trials with 10-11 border collies & have house and dog sat over 5 times (1 being for over 4 months). I am open to dogsits, dog walks and housesits as well as quick drop ins! I am very active and would love taking your dogs on walks/runs/hikes in my free time! I keep dogs on their schedule and make sure to keep their life as regular as possible as if their owner has never left. I make sure to get all the needed information: medications, food schedules & exercise routines before the owner leaves.
About: I’m a patient, loving, and highly attentive pet caregiver who genuinely adores animals of all kinds. Dogs, cats, shy pets, energetic pups, seniors , I’m happiest when I’m around them. I understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m great with multi-pet homes and very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, making sure everyone gets the attention they need without stress or overwhelm. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour, and I move at your pet’s pace, whether that means a calm walk around the neighbourhood or an enriching adventure on nearby trails. Safety and awareness are always my priority. I’m mindful of surroundings, leash security, and your pet’s emotional comfort at all times. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and respect, just like one of my own. What you can expect from me: 🐕 Neighbourhood walks or trail outings 🐱 Comfortable and confident with cats 🐾 Experienced with multi-pet households ❤️ Patient, gentle, and emotionally aware care 📸 Photo updates and detailed check-ins ⏰ Reliable and communicative I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I don’t take that lightly. I’d love to meet you and your furry family and help keep them happy, exercised, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work from home, which gives me flexibility and consistency for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. While I do have occasional travel during the week, I plan my availability carefully to make sure pets receive reliable, attentive care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, and walking dogs is a great way for me to get outside and stay active while giving them the exercise and enrichment they need. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore as it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize in my daily and weekly routine I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes. I believe pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter care, medications if needed, and any household-specific preferences. I take a calm, patient, and attentive approach, paying close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection (as welcomed), and I always prioritize safety and cleanliness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life. More recently, while living on a farm, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and helped care for two kittens we rescued and raised until they grew into happy, independent cats. Although I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. My background in hospitality has taught me to be highly organized, dependable, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, so I’ll always treat your pets with kindness and respect while keeping you updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities, and I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide so your pet receives the same level of care they’re used to at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate weekdays, weekends, holidays, and many last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine and your schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any house rules your pet is used to. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.
About: I have professional and personal experience with dogs, working in a professional setting with up to roughly 100 dogs daily (to many...please don't hire me to look after that many) as well as working with strays and rescues out of the country... Just lots of pet experience all around. I am professionally trained in dog and cat behavior, and studied wildlife biology. Not just a dog lover, I can handle all animals well, including exotics:). I am open for over night or a few hours or days. Any time is a good time. I can be flexible for whatever works I pay attention to the animal's behavior and needs rather than wants. Every dog is a new personality and they shouldn't all be handled the same way.
About: I have been around pets my whole life. From a cat in my teens to a Bernese mountain dog. I have always loved being around animals. I currently work remote. I know schedules can be crazy and emergencies happen. That Is why I am making myself available anytime to play with your pets! It's all about them. I believe in coming in with great energy but not coming in too strong. I will make sure to fully understand your pet so they feel safe with me.
“We had Angela come and walk our dog a couple times while we were at work. She is trustworthy and was able to follow all instructions provided. Will definitely be using again in the future!”

About: I have been a pet parent since I was a wee lass, owned mostly dogs and cats but I've also had rabbits, birds, fish and lizards. I have experience with all ages of animals and I used to foster and help train groups of puppies for a rescue agency. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can be available daytime and evenings as needed. I am also available for overnight stays. I offer drop in care service or a full overnight house sit as needed. I will treat your pet like my own with lots of love!
About: Hi! I'm a full-time cat mom of two wonderful kitties, Iggy & Hans. They make the rules around here, so unfortunately I can't get a dog right now, but that means I'm more than happy to watch your dog/pets in your home :) I grew up with 2 beautiful Newfoundlands and a Heinz variety, and I'm a huge animal lover. I have experience with young pups/senior dogs, and have some experience providing medication to both dogs and cats. I have the ability to work from home so I'd be with your pet the majority of the stay. This is great for pets who like their routines and thrive on a consistent schedule when it comes to feeding/walking/playtime etc. I've done sits for both active and low energy dogs, so I can adapt to their energy level:) As a cat mom who loves to travel internationally, I understand how stressful and hard it can be to trust someone with your home/pet and I'd be happy to provide as many updates and photos as you'd like :)
About: I have been caring for animals since I was 10 years old. I graduated from a Veterinary Assistant program in 2001. I am a volunteer at the BCSPCA 2 to 4 days a week and have been involved in several animal rescues. I have been a stay at home mom of humans and animals for 22 years but the human kids are growing up and moving on leaving me the time and desire to spend more time with animals. I am available to feed, walk, bathe and medicate your pets. I am able to take them to and from vet or grooming appointments and provide safe and loving care in your home. I enjoy taking dogs to the beach, trails, and neighborhood walks. Long hikes or short strolls. I am feline savvy as well and am comfortable with animals of all sorts. I have been happily married for 25 years and we own our own home in North Nanaimo. I am also an active and long term volunteer board member with the Nanaimo Minor Hockey Association. I am able to provide both personal and professional references upon request. My availability is extremely flexible. I do not work outside of being a parent and my availability is quite open with some exceptions. I'm sure we could always make something work. My number one priority is and always will be an animals safety and mental/physical well-being and happiness. I can accommodate any requirements you have for your fur babies. My animals are just as much my kids as my human children. To make sure I have the most knowledge possible on your pet(s), I provide an initial questionnaire as well as provide initial meet and greets to ensure we are all a good fit.

“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”

“Emma took wonderful care of Tisha! She kept us updated, sent photos, and was very attentive to his needs and routine. Tisha seemed happy and comfortable with her and her family.

“Tyler looked after Tori so well, and I am incredibly grateful! He was so kind throughout the whole time and gave Tori his full attention, which made me feel completely at ease.

We would highly recommend them and will be using them again. Thank you so so much!!”

“Joanne was amazing she took care of my dog for a week and he was spoiled. She went above and beyond and is very accommodating. You couldn't find a better sitter for my dog.”

“Was excellent with my anxious dog, took him in last minute when my usual sitter canceled. Goose hates the car and I had just drove with him for 4 hours in the car before I handed him off, which he was also anxious about, but he ended up chilling out and snuggling with Karuna at night. I super recommend Karuna”

I’m currently working from home so am available to care for and walk your pet and can either care for them in your home or in my home. I have two friendly dogs who are used to sharing. I have a fenced yard and large house to care for your fur baby. If you require dog walking or care in your own home I can accommodate your preferences.
About: Dog mom of Max since he was 8 weeks old. My parents used to breed miniature schnauzers, so it was really neat to be part of the process of birthing and puppy care ☺️ After an extended break from dog-sitting, I finally am settled in my own home. My partner and I recently moved to Nanaimo and are excited to explore! My partner and I work from home full-time, so our schedule is flexible for daily potty breaks, walks, outside playtime and snuggles. We also like visiting off-leash dog parks and the beach. Max is a very well loved pup! He is a member of the family, is allowed on the couch for a snuggle and sleeps at the foot of the bed. I love taking Max to off-leash dog parks and trails, so if that's appropriate for your dog, that's great too! I am happy to share lots of video and photos while your pup is in my care. I have an open-communication policy so if there is anything that concerns you, please ask!
“Very good experience with Chloe She's very down to earth and it's obvious she loves animals. My doggo gets along great with other pups, but he's a bit hesitant now after being attacked by another dog last Fall. Chloe took the time to do slow introductions between Jughead and the other dogs to ensure he was comfortable. All in all, everything went great and I'd definitely have her pet sit again.”
