“So glad to have come across Susan, who, while seeing if she was available for caring for Minnie, my Mother, said ... I know Susan and I take my cats to her. Right there, I knew a good reference! 😊 Met with Susan to met prior to leaving Minnie and her little dog Lily and Minnie played well together. Felt peace of mind and loved receiving the pictures Susan sent of Minnie playing with Lily and on their walks. I know I've found my place to leave my wee doggy if ever I need. I know Minnie enjoyed her time there with Susan and Lily and am happy to have found Susan. 🥰”
“I met them beforehand and then felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them while I was out of town. He was very well taken care of. I loved getting update photos every day - I could tell he was enjoying himself!”
“Dominique and family took very good care of our Ava girl. The kids were very tentative and caring aswell as Dominique. They took our girl out on adventure played with her and the kids like to have sleep overs with her aswell as ava. Thank you so much Dominique and family you were all so great and we know Ava is well taking care of in your home and we look forward to her visiting again 😊”
“Seamless dog boarding experience with Ingrid. I would not hesitate to book again with her. My pup was well cared for and the process felt relaxing due to her easy going and professional nature.”
“Such a lovely family! We spent 3 nights away knowing Charlie was in caring hands and have no doubt she received all the ball throws and cuddles her heart desired. Photo updates were appreciated as well :) Thank you Catherine and Doug!”
“Taryn is absolutely terrific! I really appreciated the active communication, she sent lots of photos updates and it was easy to tell the great care that our girl was receiving. Taryn was flexible and accommodating to our requests leaving us very at ease. Will most definitely book again and would recommend to anyone! 😊 thank you so much again!”
“Willow had an amazing time with Carolyn and her family! She went up the alberni lookout and loved playing in her huge yard. I appreciated all the updates and communication was great. We look forward to seeing them again.”
“Marie took really great care of our golden retriever Maggie! We really appreciated the pictures and little updates and Maggie was so happy on your walks and adventures. She got along really well with your two sweet dogs. Thank you!!!”
“Cat accommodated a last minute request for a full day of daycare on a holiday weekend. My doodle had a wonderful time with her and the other pups, and I received regular updates and photos. We'll be back! ♥️”
“Janine and her family took such great care of Natty-Bo! Lots of fun play-time, couch snuggles, photos and love. This was our first time leaving our pup and we had zero concerns while we were away. Thank you so much for that peace of mind!”
“This was our first Rover experience. We are very impressed with Kevin and Jenny. They provided a great “home away from home” for Jetta. We received daily updates and pictures and will be reaching back next time we need a sitter. Thank you both.”
About: We had to say goodbye to our sweet dog last fall and would welcome some occasional furry love in our home again! I understand what’s involved in taking care of a dog properly, all while giving them love and attention. I raised a vizsla dog from puppy through to senior and passing on. He had epilepsy which required daily medication his whole life, was a high energy alpha male, and had lots of minor medical issues. I also grew up with a collie-shepherd rescue when I was younger. During the summer months I don’t work, so looking to add a furry friend to our family while I’m home. I have kids, so while we may go out for occasional outings, if the dog isn’t joining us, the dog would only be home for a few hours. During the school year, I would only be gone weekdays for 4-6 hours. I have a fenced rural property (just under an acre) on the edge of Comox, with access to trails and beaches, galore! There is a mudroom inside our home that is a safe place to leave a dog, or a crate if they feel safe. My children understand how to approach and treat dogs carefully and respectfully (they are 7 and 10 years old). With some blankets on the couch, your dog is welcome up for some cuddles! The house is well setup for a dog, as our last one lived here too. There is always access to fresh water for your pup, we have a walk in shower with easy access from the door on tile, and our home is a comfortable temperature year round with a heat pump.
“Lorena and Michael took fantastic care of my husky, Nova! She’s a rescue and has some quirks, but they were great with all her needs and very communicative while we were away. Their dog Leia was very sweet and receptive to Nova’s boundaries, and Michael was very knowledgeable with dog cues and behaviour which gave me great confidence in leaving my pup with them. I would leave Nova with them again in a heartbeat! Thanks again.”
“It was so lovely to return to collect Finn after 3 weeks international travel to have him calm, washed and ready to go. Carol has been a delight to work with and her communication while we were away was great. Finn and I both agree that we have found his home away from home. Thank you Carol (and Augie, Rupert and Mike) x”
“Allie was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She asked good questions so that she could learn as much as possible about my dog. Juno was very comfortable in her care and I would recommend Allie to anyone looking for an excellent dog sitter!”
“Valeria is amazing! Finally I found a good petsitter, When I went to pick up Kali she didn't want to come with me haha. The best thing about it is that she speaks Spanish so Kali could feel at home, I will definitely use her again and I recommend her. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻”

“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”
About: Over the past several years, I have looked after home and petals for family and friends, caring for daily routines and walks to overnight stays. I'm currently completely my masters and working part time. Recently moved back to the Comox Valley. My time currently is pretty flexible. Excited to help. Happy to take your dog for a walk, or looked after your house and pets while you are away. Excited to work with you and your pets.
About: I cared for my own two cats for 17 years and supported their elder years with special diets and meds. I was a fan of the pine and natural types of litters and understand that cats are particular and need a daily scooped litter box. I have a health care background and a deep sense of compassion and care. Though I tried to convince my cats of the merits of harness walks, they would have none of it! I'd love to 'walk' your cat on a harness if that's what they'd like. I love playing 'fetch' with cats and interacting with lots of cat toys and just generally sharing space with them.
“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.”

“Amber was FANTASTIC! She accepted the booking on short noticed, was patience when I was late due to a rd. closure, and seemingly gave Finn a great day. I appreciate her clear communication and attention to Finn's needs.”
“Firstly, THANK YOU. Our sweet little Senna had the best day of her life at Andew & Diana's. They are responsive, friendly, communicative and passionate about caring for dogs. We did a meet and greet before doing a full day of doggy daycare. I appreciated Diana's emphasis on safety and her attentiveness to the animals. It's not easy to find good, safe, reliable care so knowing that they had eyes on her was reassuring. The check-ins and pictures were wonderful, I would highly recommend them.”
“Janine took good care of Darla while I went to go check out the Tulip Festival. Took her on a walk to the beach and ensured she was quite entertained. Janine also frequently sent photo updates and quite responsive when I asked how Darla was doing. ☺️ Highly recommend getting her as a dog sitter.”
“Leaving my puppy with Jaqueline was an absolute peace of mind. She was very kind and took care of my puppy in his last days of wearing the cone after his neutering surgery. My puppy loved staying with Jaqueline!”
About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life. I have owned my own dogs for the last 17 years. My dogs have always been family members to me and are included in everything I do. I have experience administering medications, supplements and dealing with senior pooches in the past. I have cared for many family, friends and acquaintances pets over the years, including multiple at one time. I currently am at home and available 7 days per week. My husband works full time and is off on weekends. I love to go on daily walks (often multiple) and am always up for weekend adventures at the lake, beach or in the forest with whatever furry friends I have tagging along. I have a fully fenced 1 acre property located in the Alberni Valley, about 15 minutes drive from town. I love walking the many nature trails in our area with my dog. Aside from a daily walk or two, weather dependant, you will typically find us outside on the property, gardening or just relaxing. I understand the importance of meeting the specific needs of certain dog breeds, both physical and mental, as I have a Border Collie who requires a fair amount of stimulation (if ya know, ya know). My home is spacious and well set up for doggies to enjoy both outside and indoors. No couch is off limits for the pups! My girl Millie is very well socialized and loves meeting new doggies of all shapes and sizes. Her many doggie friends will tell you she is very calm and well mannered. I do have free range chickens on our property, but haven’t had any issues with proper introduction and supervision, even with dogs who have never been around them before. I would care for your pup as if it were my own and ensure they had nothing but the best time during their stay! They may not even want to leave!
“Cat was amazing. I felt safe to leave Bug with her lovely dogs. She made his stay comfortable and I am happy with the services. Cat was very flexible with the needs and was very welcoming and friendly. I would use her service again if I want another dog sitting day. And 100% recommend her to anyone.”
About: I work from home and go for frequent walks with my dog. Our place backs onto a green space so we are out a lot. I work from home and set aside time each morning, afternoon and evening for walks, and can be available if they need to go out. We have a large fenced yard with space to run and play. I always make sure there is plenty of fresh water available, and of course give lots of love and pets.
About: I’m Sandy — an animal-loving sitter with 30+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Pet sitting lets me combine my love of travel and animals while giving pets lots of love and their owners a completely worry-free vacation. I’ve spent decades involved in Pomeranian rescue, performed home checks for Little Paws Rescue, and most recently was a flight angel bringing two pups from Mexico to their forever homes. I’m especially good with seniors, shy animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work part-time remotely, so your pets get plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a non-smoker with a peaceful, easygoing demeanor. I enjoy quiet hobbies like reading and yoga — which helps create a calm, relaxing environment for the pets I care for. I’m clean, respectful, and will look after your home as if it were my own. 🐾 Optional: I share my life with a gentle, well-socialized Pomeranian named Sable. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, and is fully housetrained, friendly, and easygoing. If you’re open for her to join me, she makes a sweet, low-maintenance companion — but she’s just as happy staying at home if you’d prefer a pet-free sit. References available. *Sable's reference: She was a therapy dog at the last dental office I worked at. She helped calm nervous patients, especially children. This speaks volumes about her character. I work from remotely part time. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets and caring for you home while you are away. While you are away, I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. My priority will be to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while also making sure your home is safe and well cared for. Pet care will include: Feeding your pets according to their regular schedule and instructions. Providing fresh water every day. Giving medications or supplements as directed, if required. Making sure they receive their usual exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship. Keeping litter boxes, food areas, and other pet areas clean. Watching for any changes in their behaviour, appetite, or overall well-being and contacting you if I have any concerns. Sending you updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you're away. Home care will include: Keeping the home clean and tidy. Bringing in mail, packages, and newspapers. Taking garbage and recycling out as needed. Watering plants according to your instructions. Following any instructions for heating, lights, security systems, or other household routines. Making sure doors and windows are secure when I leave. Letting you know right away about any maintenance issues or unexpected problems. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings and will do my best to leave everything in the same condition as when you left. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
About: Had dogs all my life and trained and rehabilitated my 15 year old border collie. Recently said good bye to both family dogs. Experience with puppies, senior dogs, unique dog medical needs, and nervous dispositions. I work full time from home, can offer daily dog walks, very active family life on the weekend. Dogs can come along for any and all the adventures where appropriate. Biking, hiking, beach plays, trail runs. Back yard not fenced, very friendly German Shepard shares the yard. Steps away from the beach so many strolls for sniffs and pee breaks. One very excited toddler to pet and play. Has learned to be gentle with dogs.
“Keah was absolutely amazing! Gunner was exhausted after coming home. She sent me photos during his care at her place. She is very dependable and even adapted to the schedule when we were running late. She is amazing and we would love to have her watch Gunner again. I would definitely recommend Keah to watch fur babies.”
“Crysta is such an amazing sitter! She welcome my last-minute request and was super communicative and accommodating. She took such great care of my pup Reggie and was extra thoughtful and responsible with caring for animals through a heatwave. She provides a calm, loving, cozy environment, and enough enrichment that had Reggie super happy and tired at the end of the day. I don’t think he wanted to leave! I wholeheartedly recommend Crysta and am so grateful to have found her. She’s also just a really cool person!”
About: Hi! I’m a mom of three with a 8 year old pup and 2 year old cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is being well taken care of. I offer dog walking in your neighbourhood, drop in’s and dog boarding in my home. Dogs must be good with small children, dogs and cats if staying in my home. I’m currently working part-time. I can be very flexible with your schedule needs, I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals. Thank you! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get outdoor breaks (for dogs), and have clean litter boxes (for cats). I spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not just “checked on.” I’m respectful of your space, and I always make sure everything is secure and tidy when I leave.

“Amelia is very professional, reliable, and kind. I have a very sensitive and at times anxious pup, and Amelia took the time to come meet him prior so we knew it was the right fit. Amelia is extremely patient and positive with my dog and I would 💯 recommend her services :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs with diabetes and epilepsy, working dogs (boxer, gsp, Aussie) as well as smaller bichons and frenchies. I’m between dogs personally and ready to care for your fur baby. Recently retired and flexible in my routines both day and night. I’ve been travelling and dog sitting along the way. Will get 10,000 daily steps in with or without a leashed friend. Can do off leash playtime once I’m assured of your pet’s recall skills. I have a fenced yard and a 5km paved path network at my disposal for care at my home. I would follow your routines at your home.
“I was feeling a little worried about how Milo would react going out without me and very pleasantly surprised that he didn’t act up. Just a bit resistant but went along. Bailey is calm and talks in a nice tone to Milo. He didn’t have cause for alarm because of everything being low key and matter of fact. I’m very impressed with Bailey. He’s a very personable young man. I’m having him come tomorrow as well. I think Milo will soon really look forward to going out with Bailey.”
“Dorothy was very dependable and friendly. Winnie enjoyed her day at Dorothy’s home. Winnie went on a 1 hour walk and felt very comfortable with Dorothy. I will rebook for sure!!”
