“Amy has been lovely to connect with. My dog is quite introverted and I was a bit nervous at first but Amy was able to put things at ease. My dog connected with her dogs quite well and it was lovely to see how well they’ve connected. I’ll be asking Amy for her help with dog day care and boarding more this summer for sure. If you’re considering having Amy help your dog, I think your dog would be in good hands.”
“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!”
“Vinny is very attached to me and it’s difficult sometimes to leave him, but I can tell he absolutely loved staying with Susan and Robin. He was very comfortable and relaxed when I picked him up. I 100% recommend booking with them if you need a sitter. Amazing people with amazing energy!”
“Marcy was great! First time using Rover and the experience was straightforward and painless. Our dog is on the anxious side but she looked calm and relaxed with Marcy. We got photo updates throughout the day!”
“Bentley had an excellent stay with Lauren and Andy with plenty of walks and no end of fun. It was easy to tell that he was enjoying himself because he got so tired and was ready to sleep at night without a problem. Lauren also sent us daily reports on what had happened together with photos and some videos and we were most happy to get the regular updates An excellent experience”
“Our puppy had the BEST time with Lindsey and her family. We are so grateful for the care and love she gave him during his stay. Highly recommend and Murphy will definitely be back again! Thankyou Lindsey :)”
“My dog Odis was well taken care of. When we came back after 2 weeks he was very happy and healthy. He became part of their family and fit in very well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”
“Doug and Janice are absolutely terrific! They are very caring and went out of their way to make our dog as comfortable as possible. We could not be happier.”
“Tazzy had a great time staying with Jessica and I felt confident that she was being well cared for. Lots of texts, pics and videos sent to keep me updated on how things were going so I could relax, enjoy my trip and not worry about my fur baby.”
“Paula is amazing and has a great home with a large fenced backyard. She took care of our dog very well. She has an amazing personality and passion for caring for dogs and others. Our dog loved his stay and is excited for his next sleep over. Thanks Paula!”
“Emma was amazing in watching our dog Junebug! Not only did she make sure our dog was fed and taken care of, but she went the extra mile! She took Junebug to the dog park on a regular basis, sent pictures and updates regularly. I can tell my dog was super comfortable with her and her family, and I would highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a temporary home for your pet while you travel.”
“Amazing!!!! I could tell Charlie felt so welcomed and loved for his stay. I will definitely leave Charlie with Kelly and Natalie again. In fact he’s already booked!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter than Sharon! She looked after my pup as though she were her own! Very attentive and caring. Beautiful accommodations to leave my pup with out any concern or hesitation. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a very friendly, safe and convenient place for your fur baby to holiday!”
“Yuet continues to be amazing every time she sits for me. I think the highest praise I can provide is the fact that my dog Odin gets super excited when he realizes he is going to stay with Yuet.”
“We were so happy with how Tyler took care of our dog while we were out of town! He's attentive and knowledgable, and you can tell how much he loves and cares for dogs by the thought and effort that he puts in to make your pup feel at home, even when they're away from home. We will 100% be using Tyler's services again in the future. Thanks again! :)”
“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”
“This was the first time I left my insecure little dog with a stranger. Her regular sitter was away so I entrusted her with Marcel and although I was apprehensive at first, I am so glad she got to experience a little “holiday” away from me. She played lots with their dog and went on daily walks (which I was also worried about because of her reactivity) but she apparently did well and is actually better now than she was before. I think it was a very positive experience for both me and my dog.”

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.

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.

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’ve always owned cats. I grew up with cats and so did my children. Unfortunately my current living situation does not allow cats so I have lots of time for yours. I’m currently working less than 30 a week so lots of time to care for your cats. My profile picture is of my cat Goldie and dog Parker
“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!!”
“I am so thankful to Karuna for caring so beautifully for my babies. She is a great communicator, takes lots of photos and asks great questions. I would book her again in a heartbeat- even my shy girl loved her right away. Thank you!”
“Kelly took wonderful care of our cats. She came over at least twice a day to feed, administer meds, provide scritches and love. We received daily updates and pictures/videos. I would definitely contact them again to look after the cats and would recommend them to anyone who wants their pets to be safe and comfortable while they are away.”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Meranda and as you’ve already guessed, I love dogs. While I want to adopt my own furry friend someday, for now I’d LOVE to take care of yours when you need it! Special needs pets are always welcome here! I have plenty of patience for anxious pups who need time to decompress after drop off to build trust, room in might house for crates/carrier kennels/etc for crate-trained dogs who feel safest in their own space, as well as elderly, blind, and deaf dogs. I grew up with my family’s dogs who both lived 16+ years, and were deaf and blind, and needed medication. I work weekdays from 8:30-5:00 but i have the flexibility to work from home most of the time, as well as a pet friendly office for when I absolutely have to go in! Trust me, my coworkers will be thrilled to have a cute dog there for the day! Currently, I can welcome 1 dog or 1 cat in my home at any time (strata limits us to 1 pet per household at any time, sorry!). I don’t have a private yard, but I have a fenced dog run shared by my neighbors and I, and plenty of green space around. Plus, if your pet is good with car rides, we can take a field trip to nearby parks for a change of scenery! My best friend and roommate Jen will also be around, she is always happy to have a cuddly new friend to watch tv with or keep her company while she writes! With both of us being chill homebodies, someone will always be there to be sure your BFF (best furry friend) is loved and taken care of 24/7 💕 Currently I work full time but with the flexibility to work from home. Generally I’m more of a homebody, we like to relax and have quiet weekends! I always appreciate a meet and greet before any sitting is booked. It not only helps build trust and relationship between myself and your pet, but also with pet parents. I make exceptions with stays that happen at my home, however please note I will not book overnight stays at a clients home without having met or prior or as a previous client
“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.”
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: 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 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.

“Karuna was fantastic. She provided updates throughout the day, which made me feel very comfortable leaving my pups in her care. They came home tired and happy, clearly well exercised. I really appreciated the photos she shared and would highly recommend her.”
“Amy was SOOO accomodating! And just a friendly and caring person overall. It was my first time using a pet sitter while on a road trip to Ucluelet and I decided to try squeeze in some whale watching. Amy accepted Zoey with 1 nights notice and even accomodated an earlier drop-off because I forgot to account for the 45min check-in time for the excursion. Amy sent text & pic updates. Zoey was very well taken care of & even got to enjoy an oceanside walk. :)”
“We all liked Courtenay right off the bat, especially Phoebe, and we felt very comfortable leaving Phoebe with her. We tried a two-hour sample stay first and that went very well so the full days that we needed puppy day-care were an easy transition. Courtenay made sure Phoebe was comfortable and busy so she didn’t have time to miss us, and her whole family was also involved so our little girl had a great time. We will definitely leave Phoebe with Courtenay again when needed ✨ thanks Courtenay and fam!”
“Jazzy and Simon enjoyed their day with Alicia and Rey and jazzy came home tuckered out . Look forward to the next visit . Thank you Alicia for loving jazzy and Simon as your own .”
“Sultaan was really happy when got picked up. Terry taken care of him really well and she was also giving updates on different times for me to make sure that he is doing goo. Overall Terry did a really good job!! I will always refer my fruends for dog home boarding to Terry.”
“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!”

“Marcy was amazing! We felt extremely comfortable leaving our two senior dogs with her. She sent updates throughout the day and we could tell our fur babies were so happy in her care. We will definitely be taking them back! Highly recommend! :) Thank you again!”
“Luna had a great time with them! She did lots of playing and adventuring! I got lots of amazing photos and video updates and didn’t worry about her at all! The flexibility was outstanding. Will for sure be booing again!”
“Rebecca was a dream to work with! I observed that my basset hound felt so secure with her right away, and returned back to me so happy and calm. It was a perfect fit. I really appreciated Rebecca's communication and responsiveness. We will definitely be connecting again the next time we are in town - sincerely could not have asked for a better experience!! Thank you!!!!!”
“Such an amazing and caring family! My dog couldn't wait to get out of the car for her second day, her tail was wagging the second we pulled up. She got tons of love and endless belly scratches. Highly recommend for any pup who loves snuggles and playing with kids!”
“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.”
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.
“Lindsey watched our dog and she was fantastic! Our dog is like our baby and she took great care of him! She was thoughtful in her caring responses of lots of pictures and videos and keeping us updated. She even provided the details of where they went walking! I would highly recommend Lindsey and I know we will be utilizing her amazing services again!”
“We have a somewhat difficult 5-month-old puppy, and initially, we were not sure how she would do elsewhere for the day, but Shay, Matt, and Chacho are truly wonderful and accommodated us in every way from our initial meet and greet and through the visit with regular updates. I think we were more worried about the separation than our puppy was, it seemed like she had a great day! We are truly at ease sending away”

“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.

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.

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.
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.
“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!”
“Nicole has been amazing! It was my first time using a dog walker for my boy and she did wonderfully. Lots of messages to coordinate and enjoyed our interactions. By the last visit my dog was waiting at the door for her vehicle to roll up ❤️”
About: I grew up caring for three dogs of my own — two small breeds and one large dog — so I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for a pet’s well-being. In addition to my personal experience, I completed a canine training course where I learned how to better understand dog behavior, communication signals, and positive reinforcement techniques. I have experience helping dogs improve their obedience, learn basic commands, and even practice fun tricks using reward-based methods only. I am responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Since I have my own vehicle, I can easily commute and handle any necessary errands or emergencies. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and caring environment so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I have enough time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I am available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and from Monday to Thursday after 4:00 PM. However, I understand that every pet owner has different needs, and I am flexible whenever possible to accommodate specific schedules. I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions carefully, and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors are secure, monitor the pet closely during walks, and provide a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and responsibility.
About: My name is Casey, I am a dental assistant with the oral surgeons. I typically work 4 days a week, with random days off. My dog Benson and I love to meet and play with all sorts of dogs. Benson gets along with everyone, especially those with high energy! Benson and I are looking for someone to spend my day’s off with. Our dream doggy day is full of puppy cuddles and someone taking use for long walks all around town. I grew up with labs, but love all fur babies. I have an allergy to cats, so unfortunately I’m unable to care for them. But I love and have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I can’t wait to meet you and your precious doggos! I work very close to home (3 minutes away) and with only working 3-4 days a week, I have lots of time to spend with my furry friends. My back yard is fully fenced. My dog, Benson, is always happy to have a friend to keep company. However, my front yard is not fenced.
“We had an amazing experience with Angela! She walked our two big, somewhat challenging dogs six times and did a fantastic job every single visit. Her communication was excellent, she was reliable, and she handled our dogs with confidence and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled dog walker. Thanks, Angela!”
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’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.

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.
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.

“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!”
“Marcy was great! First time using Rover and the experience was straightforward and painless. Our dog is on the anxious side but she looked calm and relaxed with Marcy. We got photo updates throughout the day!”
“Our puppy had the BEST time with Lindsey and her family. We are so grateful for the care and love she gave him during his stay. Highly recommend and Murphy will definitely be back again! Thankyou Lindsey :)”
“Tazzy had a great time staying with Jessica and I felt confident that she was being well cared for. Lots of texts, pics and videos sent to keep me updated on how things were going so I could relax, enjoy my trip and not worry about my fur baby.”
“Paula is amazing and has a great home with a large fenced backyard. She took care of our dog very well. She has an amazing personality and passion for caring for dogs and others. Our dog loved his stay and is excited for his next sleep over. Thanks Paula!”
“Emma was amazing in watching our dog Junebug! Not only did she make sure our dog was fed and taken care of, but she went the extra mile! She took Junebug to the dog park on a regular basis, sent pictures and updates regularly. I can tell my dog was super comfortable with her and her family, and I would highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a temporary home for your pet while you travel.”
“Amazing!!!! I could tell Charlie felt so welcomed and loved for his stay. I will definitely leave Charlie with Kelly and Natalie again. In fact he’s already booked!”
“We were so happy with how Tyler took care of our dog while we were out of town! He's attentive and knowledgable, and you can tell how much he loves and cares for dogs by the thought and effort that he puts in to make your pup feel at home, even when they're away from home. We will 100% be using Tyler's services again in the future. Thanks again! :)”
“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”
“We felt so lucky to find these folks during a last minute shuffle of our plans for pet care for our dog, Maxwell. We were overwhelmed, running out of time, and stressed for our high energy breed. It was our first experience with a pet sitter and with Rover - and we were so happy with Coraline. We had a chance to meet and have a long discussion about our dog’s needs, and her calm reassuring energy helped us make a really good decision. Max had a great time, and from what I can tell he came home calmer & more grounded than when we left him (and of course we returned calmer!) it really felt like I got a better dog when I came home. We are super happy to have someone Max really enjoys being with if we ever find ourselves taking another trip without him!”
About: ❇️ I pay close attention to animals in my care, I'm always looking out for their safety and well-being. I only host one or two dogs at a time so things stay calm and comfortable. This lets me focus on each dog and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. My goal is simple: help your dog feel safe, happy, and at home — and give you complete confidence that they’re being well cared for. ❇️ Boarding - Bookings are available most weekends of the year from Friday evening to Sunday evening. ❇️ Dog walking - I'm available for dog walks most mornings and evenings throughout the year. ❇️ Day Care - I have daytime availability during July and August + winter/spring breaks + all stat/bank holidays. I work for the school district full time September-June. ❇️ I have a fully fenced yard, and space in my home for crates, bowls, and toys. Safety is important to me. If you have any concerns, or if your dog has special needs, please provide details prior to drop-off. I want to ensure your pet has a fun and happy stay.
“Leanne was so wonderful! My pup felt safe and nurtured, and got lots of exercise in beautiful forest and beach areas. She was so great with communicating and sending photos. I knew what my boy was up to throughout the day. Highly recommend her as a sitter and your temporary dog mom while you’re away. So grateful to have her in our lives!”
“Lily loved spending the day with Rebecca and her two pups! Rebecca asked all the questions and sent me updates through the day and was super flexible with my booking. I would book with Rebecca again!”
About: I have been actively petsitting for 2 years and looking after pets is my true passion! I have experience caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. I’m newly accepting clients on a limited basis for petsitting in my own home, I can accept 1 dog at a time and they must be friendly with other dog, and cats. I have 1 dog and 2 cats. I have a fenced yard & lots of areas for walks. For overnights in your home, I am choosing to only do a few per month now, so spots will be a limited and based on what is the most compatible, so please give information about your pet, expectations & any medications when requesting a booking. 😊 My overnight stays are evening-to-morning, meaning I typically arrive around 5–6 PM and stay overnight until the morning. Some days I may arrive a bit after 2 pm, depending on my schedule! During the daytime, I am generally away for approximately 6–8 hours, working at my job, so this service is best suited for pets who are comfortable being home alone during the day/used to working pawrents!🐾 Once I am there in the evening, I’m happy to give them their dinner, potty breaks, yard playtime, companionship, and whatever care is needed as part of their normal routine. Dog walking is not something I offer at this time, so having a yard for your dog is a requirement for overnight care. If this sounds like a good fit for you, feel welcome to reach out! 🐾❤️ During the day, I am either doing check ins or working at my job. I am always around in the evenings & overnight when I’m doing in your home petsitting. Please take note that I am unable to accommodate pets that require someone at their home 24/7. Whether it’s multiple daytime check ins, or an overnight petsit, I’ll treat your pets like family, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’d be honored to be part of their routine and help give you peace of mind when you’re away. 🐾
“Millie loved staying with Jody and the fur gang! Jody took such loving care and they had loads of fun! We got videos of walks and play and hangout time. We felt very assured that Millie was in great loving care with Jody!”
