Was a pleasure to meet Lindsey today. She took excellent care of my two Westies. They enjoyed their day with her kids and family pets. It was definitely a fun day for them. Would highly recommend Lindsey, and will definitely arrange another booking in the future.

Karuna, who is often shy and sometimes fearful, returned to Shawneen’s with tail-thumping enthusiasm. I felt easy leaving her. Shawneen’s home seems to have a good mix of calm and entertainment.

Karin, her husband and her son provided an excellent family experience for our 7 month old puppy. She responded to our booking request immediately, and provided updates and photos while we were away. I will certainly be using her again, and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Thanks Karin!

Bentley had an excellent stay with Lauren and Andy with plenty of walks and no end of fun. It was easy to tell that he was enjoying himself because he got so tired and was ready to sleep at night without a problem. Lauren also sent us daily reports on what had happened together with photos and some videos and we were most happy to get the regular updates An excellent experience

It was apparent right from the start that Susan is a caring, kind, friendly and just loves dogs! This was my 3 year old Labradoodle, Orla, first overnight stay with a dog sitter, so a little trepidation on my part. But Orla was happy & seemed quite "at home" when I picked her up the next day. I would recommend Susan & Robin in a heartbeat! Five stars for sure!

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!

Just brought back from Yuets. Binoo's first time overnight staying( 8 nights) was nervous for us but Binoo seemed have a good time with Yuet. Usually, Binoo scared everyone expects family so I've never sent her anywhere for entire her life. But from now on, we can go to travel without Binoo because we have Yuet!! Thanks a lot.

Danielle was a lifesaver taking in my newly adopted Nellie when family plans unexpectedly changed over the holidays. Although Nellie is nervous around most people at first, she warmed right up to Danielle and her pal Gibuu and settled in nicely for the few days we were gone. I appreciated Danielle’s experience and commitment to Nellie’s care and even sent me updates of their adventures! I would definitely recommend Danielle!

About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.

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.

Kelly and Natalie were exceptional.... I'm sure most people would have given me the eye roll as I spilled out the details of how Lukas does this and how to do that with Lukas.... like a new mom leaving her baby for the first time... but Kelly and Natalie patiently listened and paid close attention.... I left feeling absolutely confident that Lukas was in good hands!! To top it all off.... he had an AMAZING time and came home happy and tired from playing with his new best friends. He loved going on his big outdoor adventure walk.... and I loved getting the pictures and video. I would highly highly recommend Kelly and Natalie. They are officially our go to when Lukas needs daycare! I can't say enough about how happy I was. Thank you!!

About: Your fur baby will enjoy plenty of exercise as we love hiking, running, and playing! I am dedicated to keeping your doggo happy, active, and so loved while you are away 💕 Caring for pets is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand that pets need routine and structure, and I ensure that they are well-cared for while their owners are away. I make sure to feed them on the schedule they are accustomed to, provide them with plenty of water, and give them regular exercise and playtime to keep them physically and mentally healthy. I also prioritize daily check-ins to track any potential signs of illness or discomfort and provide them with any needed attention. As a professional pet sitter, I maintain clear communication with pet owners, keeping them regularly informed about their pet's well-being through updates and photos. I make sure to adjust my schedule as necessary based on the needs of the pets in my care to provide them with the best possible care. When I take on the responsibility of a pet, I make sure they are given ample time, attention, and care, just like they are one of my own. I offer both in-home pet sitting services as well as caring for pets in my own home. Regardless of location, I provide a comfortable and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and secure. In my home, I have a designated space for pets that is cozy and stress-free, with ample space for exploring and playing. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to familiarize myself with the pet's daily routine to ensure minimal disruption to their lives. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding feeding, medication, and exercise requirements, and provide additional playtime and attention to ensure that the pets feel loved and happy. I also ensure that their living space is clean, orderly, and hygienic, with fresh water and food available at all times. I keep spaces free from potential safety hazards, including cords, small objects, and any toxic substances. I am always considerate of any behavioral or medical needs that a pet may have, and can offer extra care and support if required. Overall, I prioritize the comfort, happiness, and safety of pets in my care, and work hard to provide them with the same love and attention that they receive from their owners.

About: I have had the pleasure of owning two black labs over the last 45 years. Love to hike and like the company of a dog to come along. I am now retired. Looking for reasons to go for a walk. Would love to look after a dog to keep me company and give me some company during the day. I have a fenced yard. Have always kept my dog on a leash when walking. Dog hair in the house isn’t an issue. Lots of attention given

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.

Diana was friendly and flexible, willing to take Earl at short notice. The facility seems nice. She sent a number of photos and two quick videos of him. She took him for a walk, and played with him. Unfortunately, Earl was unable to relax while he was there. That, as well as the distance from our home, means that we won't be using Diana's services again. It just wasn't a good fit for us, but I have no concerns about Diana's capability.

About: Hi, I’m Carley! I grew up on a farm up north, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. From pigs, chickens, rabbits, cows, horses, and sheep to dogs and cats, being surrounded by animals from a young age shaped my passion for animal care. I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a Veterinary Assistant, as well as at a local animal shelter as an Animal Care Attendant. In these roles, I care for a wide variety of animals including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, rabbits, snakes, hamsters, ferrets, rats, mice, and guinea pigs. Working in both veterinary and shelter environments has given me hands-on experience in animal handling, husbandry, monitoring health and behaviour, and providing compassionate care for animals of all ages and needs. I truly love all animals and always go the extra mile for the ones in my care. I currently work full time, but even though I can only stop in twice a day I will always go the extra mile to make sure they are happy, healthy and safe before I leave I am safe, respectful, reliable and trustworthy. I will always make sure your babies are cared for thoroughly and accordingly to their dietary, medical, or other necessary needs. I will always make sure they know they are loved and leave them with a sweet treat (if allowed) before I go. I can’t wait to meet your little fur family members. Talk soon!(:

About: I have taken care of our own family dogs, friends and clients dogs. I love all dogs! As I am an Energy Healer, animals seem to relax in my presence. Nature and the outdoors are also my hobbies, so your dogs will get lots of fresh air and walks. I am self-employed and work part-time, often at home in Cowichan and a few times monthly in Victoria, thus my hours are flexible. Preference to sits in Duncan area and Victoria. Please note: I do Drop-ins ONLY in North Cowichan and Duncan proper. For safety purposes, homes would need to have cell service. Drop - in visits of one hour only Pet-sitting would be in your home, as I am not allowed pets where I live unfortunately. I am respectful of your home, and follow your wishes regarding care. Pets are cared for as if they were my own. Instructions are followed respectfully, and your fur babies will be in loving hands!

About: Hello, My name is Tara! I am a customer service representative and dancer on the side, and I'm also a huge animal lover! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me so compassionate towards every fur baby; I have a sense for dogs especially. I had a 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer/Terrier for almost 10 years who has passed on December of 2021. He was my life. Now I vicariously live through the fur babies I get to spend time with and spoil my favourite little frenchie niece! My favourite thing to do is go out and find new and exciting spots to hike on beautiful Vancouver Island. I've pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work part-time and I’m very active so I have lots of time to take out your dog to various hiking spots all over! I live in a safe neighbourhood and place right off Long Lake. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and feels loved and cared for.

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!

Danielle was a lifesaver taking in my newly adopted Nellie when family plans unexpectedly changed over the holidays. Although Nellie is nervous around most people at first, she warmed right up to Danielle and her pal Gibuu and settled in nicely for the few days we were gone. I appreciated Danielle’s experience and commitment to Nellie’s care and even sent me updates of their adventures! I would definitely recommend Danielle!

We felt so lucky to find these folks during a last minute shuffle of our plans for pet care for our dog, Maxwell. We were overwhelmed, running out of time, and stressed for our high energy breed. It was our first experience with a pet sitter and with Rover - and we were so happy with Coraline. We had a chance to meet and have a long discussion about our dog’s needs, and her calm reassuring energy helped us make a really good decision. Max had a great time, and from what I can tell he came home calmer & more grounded than when we left him (and of course we returned calmer!) it really felt like I got a better dog when I came home. We are super happy to have someone Max really enjoys being with if we ever find ourselves taking another trip without him!

I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter for my sweet Ellie. Tyler was very communicative and trustworthy from the very beginning, and bonded with Ellie right away. He sent updates and photos very regularly, and was incredibly responsive to Ellie’s needs and personality. He even taught her a new trick! I had no doubt that she was happy and comfortable and very well cared for the entire time I was away. I will definitely be asking Tyler to dog-sit again !

Joanne was excellent with our pretty active border collie/lab Lucy. Our first meeting inspired trust and confidence that we were leaving our family member in good hands, and Joanne clearly displays the compassion and understanding anyone would want to see in the person taking care of their dog. Lucy came back to us tired from all the fun she had, and anytime we need dog-sitting in the Nanaimo area we know where to take her. Thanks Joanne!

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working in busy doggy daycares, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve also volunteered with the SPCA, giving me experience with animals who need extra patience, gentle handling, and understanding. At home, I have both a dog and a cat, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, feeding, exercise needs, enrichment, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. I’m confident with everything from high-energy pups to shy or sensitive animals and I always follow each pet’s unique routine. Your pet will be treated like family — with lots of love, attention, and care every step of the way. I run my own cleaning business, which means I can fully control my schedule. I’m only away from home for short periods, and I’m able to plan my work around the pets I’m caring for. If your pet needs 24-hour care or close supervision, I can usually accommodate that by adjusting my bookings. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I’m home often, I take regular outdoor breaks for walks and playtime, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and company throughout the day. You can feel confident knowing your pet won’t be left alone for long and will be cared for like my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a secure, clean, and cozy environment, and follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel at ease. I take my own dog for two walks a day, and there’s a fenced off-leash dog park nearby that I love to visit — your pet is welcome to join if that’s something you’re comfortable with. In your home, I care for your pet just like I would in mine — with love, supervision, and consistency.
