“Our dog Roxy had a wonderful stay with July and her family. They cared for her like she was part of their family. She got lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. They even gifted her some throwing balls that she loved during her stay. July was very good at communicating with us before and during our stay. She sent pictures multiple times a day and updated us on how Roxy was doing, I wouldn’t hesitate to have Roxy stay with her family again!”
“I can’t say enough about how much we were pleased with Sandra’s service. It was our first time in 7 years leaving the dog with someone. My wife was extremely worried. But the first day we received a picture of Max (our dog) walking with kids to school, we realized he is fine, which allowed us to relax and actually enjoy our vacation. Sandra is very caring, responsible and just great. We were receiving pictures and short reports every day and in general the communication was very easy and prompt. Max had a great time as well, being in a company of kids and a centre of attention, we couldn’t find a better arrangement for our dog. And actually we think he misses them. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with them in their home. She was clearly so comfortable and well loved, and we got updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Millie came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again—highly recommend!”
“Maryanne and her family were wonderful! They watched our 8 year old, food obsessed dogie, Stella for four nights. They took her on walks, off leash dog park time and truly let her feel like she was part of the family. Maryanne was very easy to get a hold of if necessary and provided great photo updates. I got to meet her husband, her daughter and Max (their fur baby) for a meet and great before we cemented the sleepover and I felt very confident that the family LOVES DOGS! My husband and I are thrilled with Stella's easy temperament when we picked her up, which we know is a testament to the love, care and consideration that they gave to help welcome our Stella into their family. Thank you so much, truly, it took a weight off our shoulders while we were away.”
“Connie provided excellent care for our dog. She provided all of the information needed before drop-off. Once we dropped off our dog, she provided updates via texts, pictures, and videos on a very frequent basis. She was also very understanding when there was a slight delay picking up our dog due to traffic conditions. Happy to let her watch our dog again if needed.”
“Andrea and her family took such wonderful care of my 17-year-old senior dog, Kali, during my work trip. Kali has very few teeth, limited mobility, and mostly just wants to be around people who will love her and Andrea gave her just that. They kept her cool and comfortable, took her on gentle little walks, and made sure she felt safe and cared for the entire time. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates it really gave me peace of mind knowing Kali was in such loving hands. This was my first time using them, and I felt so confident and reassured throughout. Highly recommend for anyone with a senior dog or a pet who just needs a little extra love and attention!”
“Sjako and his family took wonderful care of our little Emilio. His kids were so sweet and gentle with our dog and they took Emilio out for a hike as well. We appreciated the great communication and the photos of our dog while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“Maye and Frank truly made this experience so amazing. This was my first time living my dog with anyone besides family. I was blown away how comfortable my dog was the first time he meet them. The communication and pictures from Maye and Frank was above anything I was expecting and made our trip so enjoyable knowing our boy was in such good care. The would let us know what he did through out the day. Any dog parent that has any fears of leaving there for baby needs to not worry and just book with them. Can’t wait to see you guys again and have Bernie visit real soon. Thank you again Maye and Frank.”
“Coco and Hiaqian always go above and beyond with the care of our dogs. We always get daily updates and photos, and you can tell that they really love dogs. We feel that our dogs are always in great hands when staying with them. Thank you again!”
“Here’s the translation: It was Chai’s first time staying away from home, and we treated it as a trial run for a longer stay. Minerva was very open and kind about all our worries and questions, and she made sure to take care of Chai in every detail, always sending us updates and little news. Now Chai will be staying with her for 15 days, and we’re certain she’ll be extremely well cared for, with lots of love and attention.”
“Nairoby took wonderful care of our dog, Leo, while we were away for a few days. She was flexible with timing, clearly loves dogs, and sent frequent updates that gave us peace of mind. Leo was a happy boy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Angela was so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“Trudy is a natural in terms of handling pets...grooming, timely food, playtime, medications, everything was taken care of. We are so happy and blessed to have found Trudy to care for my old cat. Bingo needs oral medication twice a day, and she doesn’t like the pills mixed with food (even with the wet food, she just lets herself starve to death if she knows the pills are in the food…), so Trudy needs to apply the pills directly into her mouth, and Trudy did a good job! She gives timely photo and video updates regarding my cat. If anyone wants to make their cats feel at home and forget all the tension, choosing Trudy is definitely worth it because of her professionalism. Her lovely private cat room is also a big help for my cat to feel secure and cozy during the stay. Thanks Trudy for taking care of my "Bingo”.”
“Kelsey was very friendly, and she provides an excellent place for dogs at her residence . Also very helpful & flexible with scheduling. We look forward to using her again in the near future!”
“This was the first time leaving George with a non family member. Ashleigh made us feel so comfortable and that George would be looked after. She sent pictures and updates which made us feel happy. George really enjoyed his time and I could see he was cared for and was treated like a king. Thank you and we will book again with Ashleigh, as we know she really cared for our Mr George. This was a great experience.”
“Rui was a wonderful, patient and caring sitter for this first sitting for twelve nights s for my elderly furbaby, who needed extra care, plus an extra two nights due to an unexpected delay to our travels. Thanks so much, Rui!”
“They took such good care of Finley and were excellent communicators. I had so much stress about leaving my dog with someone but right away I could tell that they were caring for him as if he was their own dog!”
“Jessie took such wonderful care of Max, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She genuinely cared for him and kept me updated with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was heartwarming to see how happy Max was and how quickly he bonded with Bubbles (her pup) and settled into her home. Knowing he was comfortable, loved, and having fun made all the difference. I would absolutely book with Jessie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dogsitter.”

“Jessica took wonderful care of our dog Hooper while we were on a whale watching trip. She took him on good walks and to the beach. She has a calm and kind way with animals and we are so glad she was able to spend the day with Hooper!”
About: Dear pet parents, over the past 8 years, I’ve been traveling the world as a full time house and pet sitter lovingly caring for dogs and cats across six continents. For me, a home without pets simply doesn’t feel like home 🐱🐶 Along the way, I’ve also regularly worked in animal rescue which has given me experience with anxious animals as well as administering medication. I'm currently living and traveling in Canada and would love to offer my services. Feel free to message me and I’m happy to share lots of positive references 🤍 All the best, Verena I am currently studying online and spend a lot of time at home myself, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. However, since I also love being in nature, I enjoy taking long walks and even longer hikes. I prefer to care for animals in their familiar environment, at your home, and I do my best to stick to their usual routines and daily habits, as I have found through many years of experience that this is what is best for the animal. :)
“We were very happy to leave our dog with Bee and Scott and their dog. Our dog was well cared for as Bee walked him a couple of times, at least for an hour.each time. Our pup enjoyed playing with their dog who was very well behaved. Bee fed our dog lunch and cuddled with him on the couch. Bee's love of dogs and her affection for our dog was obvious. Bee sent us several pictures throughout the day which we enjoyed. We felt reassured leaving our pup with her for the day. We would recommend Bee and Scott as dog sitters!”
About: I hade previous experience walking dogs before, all sizes. I’ve volunteered in animal shelters. VTA certificate, trained and my friends and family always refer to me to take care of their pets knowing I would be happy to do it. I currently have open availability. Mornings and mid-afternoon is the best time for me to give service. Sunday's is my day off, but for the rest of the week you can count on me. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with a lots of free space around to take walks, a beach close to me and a space for crate.
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I’d love to make your travel easier by caring for your beloved fur babies while you are away from home. I work from home and can rearrange my schedule during the day to stop in and take your pets out for potty breaks or a quick walk or cuddles. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so if your pets overnight here, they will have my full attention. I live in Sidney very close to walking paths and parks for walks and playtime.
“Kristine was so accommodating… on a last minute booking. She welcomed Ruby with lots of love and enthusiasm. She sent us photos and updates which we we loved. Ruby was well cared for.”
“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”
“I recently moved here, so I didn’t have a friend who can help me by taking care of my dog when needed. She became a wonderful friend. My doggie also loves her and her cute kids. While going for a walk, my dog and I encountered her family, causing my dog to wag his tail vigorously and rush towards them. 🤣 I always appreciate her help.”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! Your kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. The updates and care you provided meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate your dedication and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for treating my dog like your own!”
“Danielle is wonderful! I trust her with my dogs completely and she has great communication around what she offers and expectations. She has a wealth of knowledge on dog behaviour and she applies it to support my dogs’ learning where it’s needed! She also sends updates on the day and even takes them on adventures, etc! Highly recommend! She has been a huge relief and help to me as a single working person!”
“Linda provided amazing care for my dog! Super helpful to deal with, accommodated my busy schedule, and my dog came back happy! Thank you so much for looking after my precious pup. I feel lucky to have found you, and will definitely be back again:)”
About: I grew up with cats & dogs, & have experience with all sizes of dogs, cats and other small animals like rabbits. We are in a condo so accepting dogs and cats under 30 pounds. I have experience giving medication & injections when needed. Your pet is in good hands! We will play, snuggle and have a good time. I work from home so I am available all day & weekends. I have a small dog named Gizmo who gets along with most dogs & cats. I have one 18 lb Jack Russell who is almost five. Your pup can play with Gizmo, pets are part of the family here we care for them like children.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for 4 cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities of different pets. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I also offer boarding in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where your pets will get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work part time for myself from home, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to stay on top of feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 5 acres of space for dogs to explore and play, along with a fenced play area for safe outdoor time. I also have a friendly 2 year old lab to keep your dog company. I’m able to crate dogs if needed, depending on their routine, to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
“Amy is magnificent! I was a bit hesitant to put in a review as I want her available for my mutt! ;-) She is very calm and zen, loving, open and warm which was evidenced by our first meet and greet where she got on the floor and my girl just cuddled into her arms. She sent photos and updates without me asking and was flexible with last minute changes keeping Lily overnight. It is my Lily (the white French Bull Dog) that you will see on her sitter profile, and you can see for yourself how wonderful Amy is.”
“Sandra's flexibility meant I had care when our usual sitter was away. She communicated often and updated me regularly when Walnut was not feeling well. Appreciate your help!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Allison! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Allison was also incredibly accommodating with our schedule. We got stuck in unexpected traffic and ended up arriving much later than our planned pickup time. She was so kind and understanding, staying up late so we could pick up our dog without any issues. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate Allison’s kindness, flexibility, and excellent communication. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Sidney was amazing. Oslo took to her from the moment they met. She was very accommodating. I was delayed on my return from Kelowna and while I was stressing about it she kept reassuring me that it was fine. When I picked Oslo up, not only did I return to a happy boy, but he seemed to have charmed the entire family as I met Sidney's family who were clearly spoiling him with love. I recommend Sidney to anyone that is looking for kind and thoughtful caregiver to your fur baby.”
“Anisa was extremely responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Most importantly, it was clear that my dog was comfortable with her and had a great time while in her care! It’s always reassuring to know your dog is happy and well looked after, and I felt confident leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Ranah and Franki were incredible caretakers for Huck. They were diligent and asked great questions during the intake. Their attention to details made me feel comfortable off the bat that they really cared about his wellbeing and to make sure it would be a good fit. During his stay, they were incredibly communicative with daily updates and cute pictures! I could tell by the pictures that Huck was very comfortable with them. I would 100% recommend Ranah and Franki to anyone looking for care for their pets. Thank you for making a paranoid dog mom feel comfortable :)”
“Despite the late hour, thank you so much for responding and helping us on such short notice. Zhikun and his family handled my three dogs calmly and skillfully, making me feel at ease from the very beginning. They took great care of them with regular walks, and on the last day, they even gave them a shower and sent them home with a thoughtful gift, which I truly appreciated. Zhikun also runs a pet shop, which further reassured me of his experience and reliability. I’m very grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend them.”
“Bianca’s energy is calm and welcoming, we felt good leaving Emmy (senior Pomeranian) in her care. We received cute photos over the weekend and picked up a happy, rested gal. We’d be happy to have Bianca sit for us again!”
“This was our third time with Anita and our dog loved it once again. We were away for almost a month and Katara felt and seemed very well taken care of. We will absolutely use Anita's services again.”
