“I'm soo happy that Ariel was able to watch my dog Cinnamon for a few days on pretty short notice. He kept me up to date on how it was going and provided pictures. Ariel also let me know that he was concerned that she wasn't eating much, but I said not to worry (it was hot those days and she isn't the biggest eater anyways). He has a lovely backyard to run and play!! Thank you 😊”
“Nicole was super nice and kind! Mila was very well taken care of and came back home happy and relaxed. Nicole sent us pictures and kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with the care Mila received and would definitely recommend Nicole! ❤️”
“Lindsey is amazing and took incredible care of our boy. He played sooooooooo much! He fell asleep as soon as we walked in the door. 5 out of 5. Would like and subscribe if I could. Amazing.”
“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!”
“My Coonhound, Clementine, had a wonderful time at Joanne’s! She made herself right at home and was treated like one of the family. She went on all sorts of off-leash adventures and was one tired, happy girl when I picked her up. Joanne is terrific - funny, easy-going, and she obviously loves animals. She kept in touch daily and sent lots of pics. (And her St. Bernard, Samson, is a great big sweetheart!)”
“Juney always has a great time with Montana. She loves playing with Rune and comes home happy and tired. We get lots of updates about her adventures and It’s so nice to know she is well taken care of while we are away.”
“We feel very lucky to have found Kelly and Natalie to watch after our dear pup Niko. Niko hadn't spent a night away from home before when we found ourselves looking for care. Kelly and Natalie were recommended to us from a man and his puppy we met at a dog park. When we met Kelly to drop off Niko for his first sleepover, Kelly was terrific. She made sure both us and Niko were very comfortable before we headed out. While caring for Niko, we received many pictures from Kelly and Natalie to keep us updated on Niko's adventures. That definitely helped putting us at ease as we could see how much fun he was having going on hikes, beach walks, and finally snuggling in the evening. We will 100% continue to engage Kelly and Natalie to look after Niko and highly recommend to all dog owners looking for loving care while they are away.”
“Lauren and Andy and their dog Zeus were very welcoming to my dog Robby. They were caring and diligent and very flexible. I would certainly recommend them to anyone, and look forward to using their services again.”
“Truffle had such a wonderful experience and was so well cared for! He came back in such a good mood and definitely picked up some wisdom from the two elderly doggos! Thank you Amy and Ellie! :)”
“Jessica was great. Her and Bruno got along awesome right away during the meet and greet and he didnt want to leave. I got updates and pics everyday. Bruno looked like he a great time playing with other fury friends and lots of walks. Very caring professional and Id highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, giving me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. To me, pets are family, and I believe they deserve the same love, patience, and respect as any other family member. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and curious kittens to gentle senior cats and dogs, and I understand how each stage of life comes with unique needs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and truly understand how stressful it can feel to trust someone else with a pup who needs extra care, patience, and awareness. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and supportive environment where your pet feels secure and understood. With dogs, I have extensive experience in training, including agility, and I’m happy to reinforce any ongoing training routines you’re working on. While most of my experience has been caring for my own pets and those of close friends and family, I’m excited to expand my services and help more pet parents feel confident, supported, and worry-free while they’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. After work we’ll get a good walk in. They’ll have access to a large, fully fenced yard for safe potty breaks and outdoor time, along with a minimum of one walk daily. Off-leash adventures can also be offered for the right fit. I share my home with two cats and children, so any dog staying with us must be comfortable, gentle, and non-reactive in these environments. For everyone’s comfort and safety, trial meet-and-greets are required for all new boarding clients.
“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!”
“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.”
“We left our French Bulldog, Parker, with Susan and Robin when we went away for the weekend. They were very welcoming at our meet and greet. During our time away, we received numerous texts and pics/videos as updates. Parker was happy when we picked him up and tired out when he got home. We will not hesitate to have them look after him in the future. Thank you Susan and Robin for taking great care of Parker!”
About: I am a flexible pet sitter who will prioritize your pets needs whether it's a snuggle, an adventure, medications, or continued training. I have experience with pets of all sizes and with reactive dogs (even larger sized ones). I have always loved all animals and had a beloved family dog growing up. I have since become a go to sitter for many of my friends and a pet aunt for most of them. I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would provide to my own animal while simultaneously respecting the rules and routines you have set out for your pet. If your request for care falls outside of my normal calendar/service offerings, please still contact me as I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule depending on client needs. I have the ability to work remotely 3days/week and can normally adjust my work schedule to ensure your comfort with how much time I'm spending with your pet in your absence. Pet care is customized to the pet, their owner, and the needs. I am willing to stay at your home if you require additional house sitting, but reside in a very pet friendly building if you would like your pet to meet some new neighbourhood friends. I like to meet prior to your departure to walk through the space, meet your pet, and cover any details that I may require (normal schedules, special needs, emergency contacts, vet details, etc).
About: I’ve had over 6 dogs in my life and had the great experience of adopting senior dogs to care for. Working with timid and shy dogs has been a specialty of mine. I work from home with a flexible schedule , making it easy to care for your dog during their stay. With access to the yard , your dog can comfortably go in or out. I have a large fenced yard where your pup will enjoy their stay with our husky. Lots of warm and cozy shelter is provided with oversized dog houses and entry into the main house.

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.
“We've booked Sara for a series of drop-ins twice now. She has been great at making our cat comfortable with her, he is usually wary of new people. Both times we've come home to happy, healthy cat, as well as clean cat food dishes and litter area.”
“Sarah is amazing, We had to leave last minute and she gladly accepted a full work week of check ins 2x a day. And was able to fit us in around her busy schedule, her love for animals really shows. our kitties warmed up to her very fast, will definitely be our new go to pet sitter 😊”

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 taken care of cats and dogs for family and friends since 2016. 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!
“I arrived home to a happy kitty, thanks to Sarah. She sent lots of photos while a was away, cared for my cat as instructed, and got along super well with him. I already have her booked again!”
“Kelly was very easy-going and got along really well with my cats. She spent time playing with them and even made some little toys for them, which I thought was really sweet. Everything went smoothly while I was away.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs — from playful and social to independent and reserved. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments and always make sure they feel safe, respected, and cared for in their own space. I’m available for drop-in visits to provide feeding, litter box care, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention while you’re away.
“my experience with Maddie on this app was nothing but fantastic. my cat had been diagnosed well after my trip had originally been booked and I had reservations about leaving my pet to someone else so new into his medication routine. Madison was fantastic and accommodating to all of my requests and following the regimented dosing schedule for his medication. I would highly recommend anyone with a cat who has any concerns about pet sitters to contact Madison for their needs. She sent regular updates and kept us posted about any changes in the routine outside of the medication. I would absolutely book her services again.”
“Sarah was great with my puppy, Harley. It was clear she truly cared, and I felt completely at ease knowing Harley was in good hands. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help on short notice. She was responsive and provided updates with pictures, which I loved!”

About: I have cared for pets for many years, from dogs and cats to fish, and I truly love being around animals. I’m an attentive person, and I’m willing to give your pet everything I have.

I have a relatively spacious home right by the lake, which gives pets a comfortable and peaceful environment to stay in. I will make sure to follow any instructions you give in order to keep your pet and myself safe.

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!

“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!”
“Jaydyn took such great care of Ellie while I was away on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Ellie was happy and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Ellie always came home happy, and it was obvious she enjoyed spending time with Jaydyn. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Jaydyn!”
“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 ❤️”
“Lindsey was absutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous finding someone to come and care for my dogs while i was at work. Lindsey did such an amazing job communicating with me and coming by for a quick meet & greet before coming to take the dogs on the walks for the first time. She kept me updated with photos from the walks and some great notes of how it went! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will care for them like her own Lindsey is your girl! Tucker & Boba say thank you! 🐾”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life — from cats and dogs to a variety of farm animals — and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I truly believe dogs are part of the family and deserve to be treated with the same love, respect, and attention as any family member. I’m very active and make sure the dogs in my care get plenty of exercise and enrichment. We go on walks at least twice a day, with longer off-leash adventures on the weekends (when appropriate and safe). Because I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to drop in for potty breaks if you’re within a reasonable driving distance. Growing up on a farm gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including keeping chickens on and off over the years. I’m comfortable, confident, and attentive with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I share my home with two very friendly, well-socialized dogs. One is a large senior Lab who spends most of his day happily snoozing, and the other is a young Dachshund who would love a playmate but is just as content relaxing if that’s more your dog’s style. Both dogs are neutered, healthy and kept up to date on vaccinations. Because of this, I do require that visiting dogs are comfortable around other dogs. I have fostered puppies over the years and am comfortable with puppy care as well as administering medication for any health issues. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own — with love, structure, exercise, and plenty of cozy downtime. 🐾 My days are structured but flexible since I work from home. I’m able to let dogs out in our secure fenced yard for potty breaks as needed throughout the day and always make time for at least one dedicated walk during the workday. After work, we head out for a longer walk to burn off energy and enjoy some fresh air. Between walks, there’s plenty of supervision, companionship, and relaxation time so your pup feels comfortable, cared for, and part of the family all day long. 🐾 Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, loving home with lots of attention and supervision throughout the day. I do have two friendly, well-socialized dogs at home — a laid-back senior Lab and a young Dachshund — so visiting pups must be comfortable around other dogs. We tailor walks to each dog’s comfort level and training, offering on-leash or off-leash outings when appropriate and safe. At night, my dogs typically sleep with me, and there’s plenty of room for extra snuggles if your pup enjoys that too. If you prefer your dog to be crated or follow a specific nighttime routine, I’m happy to stick to your instructions to keep their routine consistent. 🐾
“Excellent experience with Sara walking our dog, Hazel! Sara is reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Hazel comes home happy and well exercised after every walk. We have complete confidence in Sara and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional dog walker. 😊”
“Chelsea was great! Easy to communicate with and prompt to reply. Was on time and did great with my dog. He had a fun time on his walks and I really liked getting photos and a map showing the route covered. I will definitely call again next time I need dog care.”
“Hilda is so patient and kind with my dog Cannoli who is a bit nervous with new people and situations. I can tell that Cannoli already senses some comfort and trust with Hilda after one meeting and one walk. Looking forward to another walk with Hilda!”
About: My partner and I travel often so we aren't ready for a dog of our own. But we love to dog sit for our friends. We've taken care of small and big dogs from Pomeranians to St. Bernese. My family dog growing up was a border collie. He joined us as a puppy when I was 11 years old, so caring for dogs, especially high energy breeds, is second nature. I work from home so I can keep a close eye on your dogs needs. It also means I have a flexible schedule for pick up and drop offs. At least two walks a day and I let them outside whenever they want so they can enjoy the fenced back yard. In the spring and summer I like to bring my laptop outside and join them.
“Tyler was very patient with my beloved puppy for her first walk with him. She was very shy but he took the time to let her come to him. Looking forward to working with you. Thanks Tyler”
“Sarah has been a breeze to communicate with and my pup looked overjoyed with her walk and visit. Moving to Nanaimo has been an adjustment for my pup and I and having great dog walkers like Sarah is helping ease the stress of this relocation. Plus my dog loves meeting new people.”

About: I have had the pleasure of being apart of 3 different puppies lives, helping out with my housemates huskies, bernadoodles, and labs and have taken an active role while they grew up. Whenever their owners were away, I was always there to step in and watch over them. As a firefighter for the city of Nanaimo, my schedule is quite flexible. My days off rotate weekly and I can be available to walk or look after your pups almost any given day of the week. I'm naturally patient and observant. Every dog is an individual, and I take the time to learn their unique personality, energy levels, and any quirks they might have. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer who needs to burn off steam or a more reserved companion who prefers a leisurely stroll, I adapt my approach to suit them. This also means I'm constantly aware of their body language and surroundings, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. I understand the importance of sticking to a routine, and you'll always be informed about our walks, from pick-up to drop-off, and how your dog enjoyed their time. I treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing their well-being above all else. I incorporate playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of positive reinforcement into our outings. From navigating busy streets safely to exploring local trails, I ensure your dog gets the exercise and engagement they need to be happy and healthy.
About: My partner and I have over 10 years of combined experience with small and large dogs. From daily walks, to overnight stays, we'll ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. We have one small dog of our own Spud the Cockapoo Kenzie works from home and Dom works on site. One of us is always home and if we ever leave we would more than likely bring your pet with us. We have a home with a fenced in backyard and plenty of green space surrounding us. We would stick to whichever routine is provided for us and love taking pets on walks around the neighbourhood.

“I'm soo happy that Ariel was able to watch my dog Cinnamon for a few days on pretty short notice. He kept me up to date on how it was going and provided pictures.

“Lindsey is amazing and took incredible care of our boy. He played sooooooooo much! He fell asleep as soon as we walked in the door. 5 out of 5. Would like and subscribe if I could. Amazing.”
“Dorothy was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog Mickey! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals and a gentle, caring demeanor. She was incredibly attentive to my pup's needs and quirks, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for every step of the way. I especially appreciated the regular updates and sweet photos she sent — it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and I would trust Dorothy again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“My Coonhound, Clementine, had a wonderful time at Joanne’s! She made herself right at home and was treated like one of the family. She went on all sorts of off-leash adventures and was one tired, happy girl when I picked her up. Joanne is terrific - funny, easy-going, and she obviously loves animals. She kept in touch daily and sent lots of pics. (And her St. Bernard, Samson, is a great big sweetheart!)”

“We feel very lucky to have found Kelly and Natalie to watch after our dear pup Niko. Niko hadn't spent a night away from home before when we found ourselves looking for care. Kelly and Natalie were recommended to us from a man and his puppy we met at a dog park. When we met Kelly to drop off Niko for his first sleepover, Kelly was terrific. She made sure both us and Niko were very comfortable before we headed out. While caring for Niko, we received many pictures from Kelly and Natalie to keep us updated on Niko's adventures. That definitely helped putting us at ease as we could see how much fun he was having going on hikes, beach walks, and finally snuggling in the evening. We will 100% continue to engage Kelly and Natalie to look after Niko and highly recommend to all dog owners looking for loving care while they are away.”
“Jessica was great. Her and Bruno got along awesome right away during the meet and greet and he didnt want to leave. I got updates and pics everyday. Bruno looked like he a great time playing with other fury friends and lots of walks. Very caring professional and Id highly recommend.”

I share my home with two cats and children, so any dog staying with us must be comfortable, gentle, and non-reactive in these environments. For everyone’s comfort and safety, trial meet-and-greets are required for all new boarding clients.
“Coraline and Valentin were wonderful! Friendly, flexible, compassionate, and obviously Robby was very comfortable with them. Thank you! Hopefully we'll see you again!”
“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!”
About: I have been actively petsitting for 2 years and looking after pets is my true passion! I offer overnight petsitting in your home where your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings while you’re away :) My overnight stays generally start late afternoon or evening-to-morning, meaning I typically arrive between 3 - 6 pm and stay overnight until the morning of the last petsit day. My overnight pet sitting care is live-in, which means I will stay in your home, resume my normal schedule with the goal of keeping to your pet’s regular routine as much as possible. • I am generally away for approximately 4-8 hours depending on my schedule, working at my job. So this service is best suited for pets who are comfortable during the day/used to working pawrents!🐾 • For in my home boarding/petsitting, I can accept 1 dog at a time and they must be friendly with other dog & cats. I have a fenced yard + parks and trails nearby! • 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. 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. 🐾
About: I am a flexible pet sitter who will prioritize your pets needs whether it's a snuggle, an adventure, medications, or continued training. I have experience with pets of all sizes and with reactive dogs (even larger sized ones). I have always loved all animals and had a beloved family dog growing up. I have since become a go to sitter for many of my friends and a pet aunt for most of them. I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would provide to my own animal while simultaneously respecting the rules and routines you have set out for your pet. If your request for care falls outside of my normal calendar/service offerings, please still contact me as I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule depending on client needs. I have the ability to work remotely 3days/week and can normally adjust my work schedule to ensure your comfort with how much time I'm spending with your pet in your absence. Pet care is customized to the pet, their owner, and the needs. I am willing to stay at your home if you require additional house sitting, but reside in a very pet friendly building if you would like your pet to meet some new neighbourhood friends. I like to meet prior to your departure to walk through the space, meet your pet, and cover any details that I may require (normal schedules, special needs, emergency contacts, vet details, etc).
About: I have cared for pets for many years, from dogs and cats to fish, and I truly love being around animals. I’m an attentive person, and I’m willing to give your pet everything I have. I would love to take the time to understand your pet’s personality and routine. I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, as well as send you regular updates! I currently work from home, so I’m home all day and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can promise that your pet will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have a relatively spacious home right by the lake, which gives pets a comfortable and peaceful environment to stay in. I will make sure to follow any instructions you give in order to keep your pet and myself safe.
“We are very happy with Paula and the way she looked after Benji for the week we were away. Benji got along very well with Paula and her dog. We will certainly use her boarding service again in the future. Thank you Paula.”
About: I’ve had over 6 dogs in my life and had the great experience of adopting senior dogs to care for. Working with timid and shy dogs has been a specialty of mine. I work from home with a flexible schedule , making it easy to care for your dog during their stay. With access to the yard , your dog can comfortably go in or out. I have a large fenced yard where your pup will enjoy their stay with our husky. Lots of warm and cozy shelter is provided with oversized dog houses and entry into the main house.
