“I am very impressed with Carrie as she looked after my doggie Laurelle with care and attention to her needs. Carrie regularly sent pics to update me which I really appreciated. Highly recommend.”
“Andrea was amazing! We have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people and her deteriorating eyesight and hearing can make leaving her with a new person very stressful for us and her. Andrea had a very gentle and calm approach with our dog which allowed her space to feel comfortable. Her updates gave us peace of mind and when we picked her up she seemed at home in her house. It was so comforting for us to know Riley was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Andrea as she clearly has a great energy and connection with dogs putting them at ease.”
“Kelsey was wonderful overall! She gave daily updates, took my dog on walks, and was very flexible and easy to work with and clearly someone who truly loves animals. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend! I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Both Finn and I feel very fortunate to have found Kevin and Kayla. Finn instantly took to them and that is not usual for him. He thinks they're great and I concur!”
“Louann is a top notch dog sitter and a great person to know. We enjoyed our conversations with her immensely. She provided lots of pictures and commentary of C-Bar’s stay at her place. He had a great time meeting new friends. Our vacation was so much more enjoyable knowing C-Bar was in good hands and that he too was having a great time.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets for friends and neighbors. I bring a calm, attentive energy to every visit and take pride in creating a safe, positive experience for each animal. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walks in throughout the day. I’m typically available on weekdays, with some evening and weekend availability as well. I do my best to accommodate your dog’s routine and keep things consistent for them. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety and comfort. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I’m mindful in clients’ homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and respectful while creating a calm, loving environment for each pet.
“Amazing! Highly recommended, was in a pinch for safe boarding for my Dane and after four days Hendrix came home and slinked upstairs to our bed to pass out for 5hrs. Will be making this our primary for additional care. Highly recommended!!”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Stine took great care of our Fergus, sending lots and lots of photos and updates and taking him on lots of hikes. He was so happy to be there for the 5 days we left him and got to play non-stop with her dog Brodie. Her and her husband Walt obvious took care of Fergus as if he was their own. They were also very accommodating when our flight got re-routed and we arrived a couple of hours late. We would definitely book again with Stine without hesitation”
“Megan is wonderful with Murphy and he is always so excited to see her when she comes to pick him up. She sends lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciate and I cannot recommend her more highly”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“We have had Heather and her family for a year now and we always feel safe leaving her with them. She is always so happy and tired (in a good way) when she comes home. Thank you!!”
“Excellent people from start to finish! Looked after a Oliver last minute, sent photos and were very understanding of the circumstances that made me late for pickup. Will definitely have them care for Oliver again!”
“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”
“Jason took so well care of our little 15 year old dog. First time we left our dog for eight days, and he had a great time. Which we could see on all the pictures Jason shared with us. Would highly recommend Jason services.”
“My pampered pooch is with me all the time. So when I needed care for my dog, I needed someone special and AMY was the person who did a perfect job, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away. Daily updates showed multi-pics of Minnie out in nature enjoying herself or relaxed after a fun time of play with Amy. My dog had someone 24 hrs a day. She was treated as special and that was important to me, as she is! Highly recommend Amy. Also, pickup was so easy. All belongings packed and Amy waited at the door as we text back and forth. Communication and response time also excellent.”
“Michaela and Ben did a wonderful job taking care of Blue. They were very communicative and also sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away so I was never worried. When I came to pick him up he seemed very relaxed and happy. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking for a sitter.”
“Wonderful people! Very accommodating with a meet & greet, drop off and pick up times and kept me updated how the night was going. My dog was comfortable there and very relaxed when I picked her up. Great experience, super glad they were available!”

“Carrie came through for me when I was in a pinch (my other sitter failed to show up), and accepted the booking very last minute. She was an absolute dream, and all three of my cats warmed up to her (even the shy one!) Her communication was exceptional and open (lots of pictures!), she immediately put my mind at ease when I was away from home and worried about my fur babies, and she went above and beyond to ensure my cats were well cared for and loved. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Laura was fabulous! Our kitties were very well cared for and we received lots of pics and daily updates on them. Thank you Laura, we’ll definitely be in touch for our next trip ???”
“Maia and Joshua were wonderful with our kitten! They sent photos and videos throughout the visit and they clearly love all animals :) thanks for taking such good care of Charlie!”
About: I don’t have any cats of my own but I love all furry friends and would love to care for your cat. I know some cats love being around people, and some love their space. I am a very flexible sitter and can accommodate your particular cats needs.
About: Recently had to say goodbye to my baby girl of nearly 20yrs, missing her snuggles and purrs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your sweetheart(s) when you're away and would be honored to care for them and keep them company until you return. I always grew up with pets and have pet-sat for friends through my teens & adult years. Litter boxes, dog-poop patrol, medications or special diets - your furry friend will be well looked after!
About: I have always wanted to look after animals since I was a kid. My husband and I fostered rescue dogs in Alberta to help get adopted. I have also cared for a variety of small caged animals over the years. As your house sitter, I will be present in your home for the entire duration of the stay. This is great if your pup does not like to be left alone. I am able to administer simple medications if needed. I am also able to care for small caged animals in my own home and we can discuss this arrangement if you are needing this service. House/pet sitting is my priority. When you hire me, I will not need to leave your residence for other employment. This is great if your pup does not like to be left alone. I will care for your pets following the daily routine that you have already established for them. If the pets are used to a morning walk then I will take them on a morning walk if that is preferred. If your pets are happy to simply play in their yard while you are away I would be happy to do that as well. I usually like to arrange a short meet and greet prior to the first overnight stay to familiarize myself with your pets and their home.
About: I’ve been around family pets my whole life, and always loved meeting the pets in my neighborhoods. I’ve looked after many dogs of all types, from all walks of life. I own and care for 3 disabled and elderly dogs in my family. I love to travel all across Greater Victoria, which means I can expand my services anywhere in Sooke, Langford and Victoria. I will find a way anywhere for families in need of a sitter. I have a monumental amount of free time. No school, no current physical job, rarely going to events, so I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. I am not in college or currently employed, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets. During the day I am available between 7AM - 11PM. Schedule may vary slightly on weekend nights. I am available for overnights, separate from the times above. Not applicable as I will not do business inside of my home.
“Adina was so lovely with our kitties! I knew right away that things would be just fine with the way she approached our shy kitty during the meet and greet. We got photos every day and they clearly loved having her visit. Thank you!”
About: I’ve spent years around animals and regularly cat sit my sweet Cleo for a close friend whenever she’s out of town. I genuinely enjoy cats and appreciate all of their funny little personalities, routines, and boundaries. I know that cats tend to choose their people and pace themselves when building trust, so I always approach them with calm, patient, respectful energy. Whether your cat is cuddly, shy, playful, or delightfully weird, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away.
“This was our first experience with using Rover and I must say that we are very pleased with Kirsten’s care of our cat and home. We’ll be asking her to come back again this winter. Thank you!”

I have also always cared for animals belonging to family and friends.

“Carrie was wonderful with Cooper who was a little anxious about being without me because we have been traveling for 2 weeks. It was an early drop off for a fishing charter and she was wonderful with cooper. I can’t thank her enough for being the support the cooper needed. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hello, nice to meet you! I'm Claudie, a 31-year-old from Montreal. As a freelance graphic designer, I have the flexibility to work from home, which allows me to offer pet sitting services. I also have a car, so I can take your pet to the vet or any necessary appointments while you're away. I live an active lifestyle that includes surfing, Pilates, hiking, and running, so I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors - especially with furry companions by my side. I often travel with my long-time partner, Thomas, a 31-year-old teacher from Canada who’s always chasing the next great wave. As a freelancer working from home, I have the flexibility to change my environment while enjoying the company of pets. I love the balance it brings - caring for animals while maintaining my work routine and incorporating them into my active lifestyle (hiking, walking, running). I also live in a house in East Sooke, close to many forest and seaside walking trails. My backyard is surrounded by nature, and I can easily secure a pet on a leash so they can safely enjoy the sun while I work outside beside them. If a pet’s routine is quite structured, I adapt my work and activity schedule to match it. Otherwise, I usually start the day with something active (running, walking, or hiking) and go for another walk in the afternoon. Since I work from home, pets always benefit from my company, whether I’m working indoors or outside. I’m also just a text or call away, and I love sending daily updates and photos to owners. Having a car makes me very flexible in case of an emergency.
“Adina had great communication, we had a meet & greet before daycare was needed to make sure her home was a good fit for my dog. My dog, Akira was happy when I dropped her off on the day of doggy daycare and was reluctant to leave when I picked her up. This was a great sign that she was well taken care of and I will definitely book with Adina again soon.”
“Cow had an awesome day with Etienne. He gave him lots of walks and allowed us to have a day of surfing. He was always updating us with how the day was going and was very accommodating to our schedule.”
“Jules and Cody were amazing caregivers to Poppy. They had great communication and were accommodating. They seemed to love dogs and took our dog on many trail walks. Can’t wait to use their services again.”
“Kimberly took really good care of my mocha for the day! I really appreciate that she agreed to watch Mocha even though it was a last minute booking. Communication was easy, drop off and pick up was too. She was very understanding of Mocha's challenges. Overall I highly recommend!”
“Andrea took such good care of my girl Piper. Piper can be quite anxious (and as a result I get anxious to leave her with anyone!) and Andrea was so understanding and patient with her. She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”
“Criofan was great, we were travelling from Edmonton and decided to do a last minute Whale Watching Tour. Within 5 minutes Criofan responded and we had Luna booked in to play for the day. We really appreciated the late night pick up at 10pm, was flexible for us to enjoy our time in Victoria without feeling rushed. The drive was only 20 mins, but was definitely worth the drive, huge space for Luna to run with Albert. Really appreciated the messages after dropping Luna off, put my mind at ease that she was behaving. Highly recommend, we got back a happy tired pooch!”
“Woody was very comfortable staying with Alanna! Alanna sent us photos and a video during the day, reporting on his activity. She had an old pug so the two old guys kept each other and Alanna company all day. Alanna was very flexible and accommodating of the day care—I recommend her totally!”
“Stacey is great, she took a pretty short notice booking and has a great set up, nice fully fence back yard. She is obviously experienced with dogs, Luna took to her right away and instantly went to play with some toys she had for her even brought one to show me when I picked her up. Would definitely book with Stacey again”
“Despite not having a dog, my Shayka gets ssoo excited to be dropped off to Flora. Her wage is great considering she takes Shayka out for quite few walks during the sit. As well, Flora has made exceptions with her usual time schedule.”
“Our dog Olly had a great day at daycare with Christian, Chinel and Benny! Olly can be a bit nervous but he had no issues spending the day with them. They sent us lots of updates with pictures and were super responsive.”

I'm only able to board cats at my place, they will be comfortable inside with windows to perch and watch the world go by or soak up some the warmth of the sun. I have a cat tree, scratching post and toys to keep them busy. I am available to dog-sit in your home or simply provide check-in visits, bathroom breaks, and walks. To start, tell my about your pet's usual routines and needs and I'll let you know how I can support that. Then we can discuss and see if I'm the right sitter for you 🙂
About: I’m 55, and a lifelong pet owner. I have two dog-friendly cats Octavia & Mario, and a sweet Chihuahua girl Bellamy. Having relied on pet sitters myself, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy, responsible, and experienced sitter. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities. Whether it's catering to the needs of a senior dog, providing training for a lively puppy, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I approach each interaction with patience, compassion, and expertise. I take pride in maintaining the daily routines of the pets I care for, ensuring stability and comfort in their environment. Whether it's a home visit, doggy day care, or overnight stay in my home, your pet will receive personalized attention and plenty of love. ______________________________________________ ** Boarding (My home) - Dogs must be good with cats and not chase them.** ** House Sitting (Your home) - My Chihuahua comes with me. She’s quiet and very well-behaved.** ______________________________________________ Taking care of pets isn't just something I do on the side – it's my full-time job. I'm dedicated to them all day, every day. From morning to night, I focus on making sure they're well-fed, exercised, and content. Playing, cuddling, and giving them attention is what I do best because it's my passion and my only priority. With your pet's well-being in mind, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space conducive to their needs. Whether it's ensuring secure fencing in my yard for outdoor play or utilizing safe and reliable equipment during walks, I take every precaution to keep your pet protected. Additionally, I adhere strictly to any dietary or medical requirements, administering medications if needed, and providing a calm and nurturing environment.
“We can’t recommend Vanessa highly enough! Our dog can be sensitive and requires some extra attention, and Vanessa has always been wonderful about carefully following our instructions and making sure our pup is comfortable and well cared for. She is extremely communicative, sends great photos and updates after walks, and is someone we completely trust. Knowing our dog is with Vanessa gives us real peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker.”
“Etienne did great with our pup! He was happy to meet with us before the walk day to make sure Etta knew him and was really easy going. Etta had a lot of fun and was very well taken care of. Will definitely rebook next time we're in Tofino!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for and raised animals of all kinds, from puppies and rescue dogs to farm animals and small pets. My own rescue dog, Indigo, taught me so much about patience, compassion, and attentive care as I supported her through both IVDD and cancer. Through that experience, I became very comfortable with medication routines, mobility support, changing needs, and providing calm, loving care through every stage of an animal’s life. I’ve also raised puppies and lived on a farm where I regularly cared for large farm dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for many different animals, including parrots, snakes, hamsters, fish, rabbits, and other small pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while their owners are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I’m also a very active person and usually spend hours outside walking every day, so I’d genuinely love some furry companionship along the way - whether your dog prefers long adventures, slower sniff walks, or lots of playtime and attention. I live in a detached home with a fully fenced backyard and no other animals in the home, creating a calm and safe environment for your pet. I take animal care very seriously and have always treated every pet - whether my own or someone else’s - with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I cared for my sweet dog Indigo through both IVDD and cancer, which gave me firsthand experience supporting animals with medical needs, mobility limitations, medication routines, and changing comfort levels. That experience taught me that every animal is unique, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual routines, personalities, and care needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.

About: Hello! My name is Isabella and I’m originally from Mexico. I’ve grown up in a home surrounded by dogs, which sparked my lifelong passion for caring for animals. I just graduated from Ecology at Thompson Rivers University and I’m also an active volunteer at local animal shelters. These experiences have deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and well being. I have over 7 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, working with a wide range of breeds—from small, energetic pups to larger, strong dogs like Labradors. My top priority is always the well-being, safety, and happiness of your pet. I love going for long walks, playing, and making sure each pet feels loved and secure in my care. I am happy to look after your dog in your home to ensure the health and safety of all animals I look after. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and promise to keep you updated with photos and videos while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I have all weekdays and weekend free. As a recent graduate, I am currently looking for a job so I will be home all day taking care of your furry ones. My previous experience in my Mom's dog sitting company has given me the tools to provide the best possible care of the furry pets. I provide food, fresh water, and any medications needed at appropriate times, following the given schedule to optimise the pet’s wellbeing. I also personalise the care for each pet, taking into consideration their age, health conditions, energy levels, etc. I like to keep them entertained by playing with them and taking them on walks if agreed with you first. My walks always prioritise safety, providing the best experience possible for you and your pets. Letting them take their time while smelling plants and nature is crucial to ensure they enjoy the most. I offer on leash and off leash walks depending on your personal preference.
About: I have had experience caring for puppies and adult dogs. I can teach your pet commands, have fun playing with him and keep his safety as my own I am currently working from 11am till 9 pm, so I will have time for your pets. You are welcome. we'll have a great time together I have enough space for several animals. I also have a pet, a Labrador Retriever. He is very friendly and gets along with both dogs and cats. I also have a park where I can walk your dogs
About: I love dogs and would like to get out walking, so might as well do both! My background in animal care includes 2 yrs of previous experience volunteering at an animal rescue in Northern Alberta. Please reach out to me if you would like to do same day booking, I may be able to fit you in! I will be updating my calendar weekly to better reflect the days I have available ☺️ Please let me know of any preferences you have for the walk (eg. Areas to walk, triggers, sensitivities, etc) and I will try to adjust accordingly.
About: Hi! My name is sarah, and I would love to care for your furry family member while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day and will never be left alone for long periods. As a dedicated pet owner with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, I understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and accommodating your dog’s individual routines and preferences. I’m also happy to provide references from previous pet care experiences upon request. I share my home with my friendly 7-year-old, 40-pound dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a calm, easygoing personality. Because I live in a condo without a yard, I make sure dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to provide a safe, loving environment that feels as close to home as possible. Whether your pup enjoys cuddling on the couch, going for walks, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I’ll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I also know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you informed so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work full time from home. 1 sweet dog . I live in a condo but we go for 3 walks away, our lunch time walk is an hour, in the mornings and normally to the dog park after work, but that’s only if your dog is comfortable with dog parks. I have a sweet rescue dog. I’m at home full time and would love another pup to hangout with us in the day or over nights
About: I have a very flexible availability since I’ve just finished my law degree and am home full time! I live near multiple parks (within 5 mins walking distance) and with lots of space in my home that your pup would love! I have a 5 month old mini dachshund puppy, and she is extremely friendly, social and would love to make new friends. I’ve been training her since she was 8 weeks old and I can also work with your pup on anything you’d like to re-enforce or newly introduce. I have past experience with dogs dealing with separation anxiety, I also implement crate training and enforced naps throughout the day and positive rewards. I also can potty train if needed! I only take 1 pet/booking at a time so I can give my full attention to your pup! Please do let me know if your pup is social or has any triggers (toy/food guarding) and is friendly to puppies, if your uncertain I strongly recommended a quick meet up prior to booking with your pup and mine to ensure a safe and fun day for them! I am home full time and my daily routine consists of caring for my own puppy, usually including playing and training and enforced naps and walks I live in a single dwelling home with a fenced yard with plenty of grass, and my home is split leveled so there’s plenty of space for your pup to run around and play. I’m not adjacent to a busy street so there are no noises that might make your pup anxious. I also have my own pup who would love a new friend (Please let me know if your pup shouldn’t be taking stairs or jumping, since I dont let my mini dachshund take the stairs or jump onto furniture due to any back injury risks so I carry her and I can do the same for yours!)

“I am very impressed with Carrie as she looked after my doggie Laurelle with care and attention to her needs. Carrie regularly sent pics to update me which I really appreciated. Highly recommend.”
“Kelsey was wonderful overall! She gave daily updates, took my dog on walks, and was very flexible and easy to work with and clearly someone who truly loves animals. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend! I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets for friends and neighbors. I bring a calm, attentive energy to every visit and take pride in creating a safe, positive experience for each animal. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walks in throughout the day. I’m typically available on weekdays, with some evening and weekend availability as well. I do my best to accommodate your dog’s routine and keep things consistent for them. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety and comfort. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I’m mindful in clients’ homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and respectful while creating a calm, loving environment for each pet.
“Amazing! Highly recommended, was in a pinch for safe boarding for my Dane and after four days Hendrix came home and slinked upstairs to our bed to pass out for 5hrs. Will be making this our primary for additional care. Highly recommended!!”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Stine took great care of our Fergus, sending lots and lots of photos and updates and taking him on lots of hikes. He was so happy to be there for the 5 days we left him and got to play non-stop with her dog Brodie. Her and her husband Walt obvious took care of Fergus as if he was their own. They were also very accommodating when our flight got re-routed and we arrived a couple of hours late. We would definitely book again with Stine without hesitation”
“Megan is wonderful with Murphy and he is always so excited to see her when she comes to pick him up. She sends lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciate and I cannot recommend her more highly”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“We have had Heather and her family for a year now and we always feel safe leaving her with them. She is always so happy and tired (in a good way) when she comes home. Thank you!!”
“Excellent people from start to finish! Looked after a Oliver last minute, sent photos and were very understanding of the circumstances that made me late for pickup. Will definitely have them care for Oliver again!”
“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”
“Wonderful people! Very accommodating with a meet & greet, drop off and pick up times and kept me updated how the night was going. My dog was comfortable there and very relaxed when I picked her up. Great experience, super glad they were available!”
“I wasn't there for the stay, but my dog gave Bianca 5/5 stars. Really felt confident and at ease leaving my pup with her. She was very flexible, and communication was on point. Her daily updates were awesome. I will be thinking about her whenever I need a sitter again!”
“Allison watched our doggo while we hiked the Hoh River trail - no dogs allowed. She was fantastic! Great communication with us and a nice welcoming place for our fur buddy to stay - toys, walks, and cuddles.”
“Suzanne was incredible with my dog. She has great communication. My dog was clearly well taken care of and so happy at pick up. I would not hesitate recommending her for your pets needs! 5 stars”
About: Busy with work or going on vacation? I am here to help. I am offering dog walking, house sitting, drop in visits throughout the day and anything else you may need. As a previous dog owner, I know how important your fur baby is to you. I will treat them and love them like they are my own. I am highly energetic and love to be around animals. I have worked at a vet clinic, handling all kinds of animals. I owned three dogs at once and trained them myself. One was a 120lb (all muscle on the big guy) chocolate lab X golden retriever and the other was a border collie x Shepard. So, I am familiar with large and highly active dogs. I am an animal lover and can't wait to assist you with yours. I am looking to spend quality time with your pets and facilitate the exercise they require. I am available at anytime throughout the day and night to better convenience you and your pup. If your fur baby is young and needs further training walking on the leash, I am more than happy to increase their training. Although I don't have a fenced in yard, I have a long leash outside and can walk them often. There is a park down the road too for a few games of fetch. I do have a cat in my home as well, Eddie. He is a beautiful boy but if dog sitting is what you require, they will never come into contact. He is good with dogs but I prefer to keep everyone safe rather than sorry! Please feel free to message me at a time of your convenience and we can discuss your needs and the needs of your fur baby! Hope you chat soon! I am currently working part time (night shifts) so I am available throughout the day to help exercise your dog! I am very flexible on times and days. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to play with! I have tons of experience with animals including owning and training my own!
“Monica is a very compassionate and capable pet sitter. I love receiving the frequent updates and know that Koa is getting lots of exercise and is in great hands. It sure takes the worry out of leaving your pet when you know that they are in a safe, loving and nurturing home.”
