House Sitting Cedar

“Jimena was great with Max, taking him for lots of walks and fresh air. She kept us posted on how he was doing with videos. It was like Max was on vacation!”

“Nicole provided such amazing care for my boys and was super lovely and thoughtful to work with! I look forward to having her take care of my dogs again soon! (But not as much as they do!)”

Rebecca B.

“Ann was an exceptional dog sitter for our lively Scottish Terrier puppy. Her approach was perfect for our girl’s shy yet high-energy nature. We’re genuinely impressed and look forward to having Ann’s help again!”

“Tyler was prompt arriving and very professional. He stayed with our 6 month old Boston terrier and he kept her entertained and managed her puppy behaviour very well. I will definitely use him again.”

“At first we were nervous to let someone we don't know stay at our home, but Kylee arranged to meet us a few days earlier to introduce herself, which put all of the uncertainty aside. She is friendly, courteous, and I had no doubt she would take good care of Josie, Jenny and Thandi...and of course our home. To look after 3 dogs, one still a pup, is a tall order, but Kylee was a real trooper and did an amazing job! She communicated well and kept up us up to speed with how they were doing during our trip. Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy. We will certainly make use of your services again :-)”

“We had a great experience with Angela! This was our first time having a sitter stay at our home since moving to a new city, and she made us feel completely at ease. She took great care of our two dogs and two cats, sent regular updates and photos, and was always quick to respond. She was also super reliable, showed up on time, and even left our home clean and tidy. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I have had pets my entire life: a German Shepard Husky growing up, and now I have a cat that I adopted from the SPCA (my second). I love pets and they love me. I also know the difficulty that comes with having to travel and leaving your pet and often your house in the care of another person. I am respectful, responsible, kind and considerate when it comes to animals and other peoples' homes. I currently am available any day for pet sitting, and am willing to stay overnight to also take care of your house and treat your pet and house with the same care that I take with my cat and my house. Unfortunately I do not have a fenced yard so cannot have pets in my house. I am happy to care for your pet in your home whether it means dropping by to feed and clean up and spend some quality time with them, or staying over night if needed if you are going on a longer trip.

About: *NOTE* For Reviews of Past Pet care * Please look through all of my photos. I specialize in in-home care for cats and small dogs, offering a calm, respectful presence so your pet can remain comfortable in their own environment. I bring extensive house and pet sitting experience. My experience includes extended stays, maintaining household routines, and providing dependable care while homeowners travel. Having owned four homes and cared for my own pets over the years, I understand firsthand the importance of treating both pets and property with genuine care and responsibility. I have a natural affinity for cats, including those who are shy, anxious, or slow to warm. I understand feline boundaries and build trust quietly and patiently. I also welcome small and senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace, consistent routines, and attentive companionship. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications and pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. What sets me apart is maturity, reliability, and discretion. I treat your home with care and integrity, and I'm happy to tend to plants and general household upkeep while you're away. I provide thoughtful updates so you can travel with peace of mind. My approach is simple: calm energy, careful attention, and a genuinely peaceful experience for both pets and their people. *NOTE* For Reviews of Past Pet care * Please look through all of my photos. Pet care is an intentional part of my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care, companionship, feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment while maintaining each pet's familiar schedule. I offer overnight house sitting and scheduled drop-in visits, limiting the number of pets I care for at a time to ensure each receives calm, individualized attention. My flexible routine accommodates vacations, extended travel, and occasional care needs. I prioritize consistency, medication schedules, and a peaceful environment. I'm particularly well suited to cats, small dogs, and senior pets who appreciate gentle companionship, predictable routines, and thoughtful care. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind. Having owned four homes myself, I understand the importance of treating your home and belongings with genuine respect and care, ensuring everything remains secure, clean, and orderly. I carefully follow your pet's established routines and any specific care instructions, paying close attention to behaviour, appetite, and overall well-being. I provide a daily update with photos so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications, maintaining clean litter boxes, providing fresh water, and offering gentle play or affectionate companionship when welcomed. My calm, consistent approach helps pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. Above all, I aim to create an environment where your pet can relax and thrive while you're away, and you can travel knowing your home and companions are in attentive, trustworthy hands.

About: Hello! Are you going away and worried about your dog missing their walks, treats and belly rubs? I've got you covered! I offer calm, reliable, and loving dog care-whether that means daily walks or cozy house sitting and keeping your fur baby company. My focus is keeping your pets safe, happy and on their routines whilst treating them like family. I am happy to feed, provide fresh water and meds if required. Your furry friend/friends will receive lots of attention, snuggles and playtime. I have had dogs for most of my life and have experience with puppies, seniors, high watt energy and shy souls. I'm patient and take my time to establish trust and comfort with your animal(s). Think of me as your pet's stand in human while you're away. I'm always happy to keep their tails wagging, paws moving and your mind at ease. I currently have an on call position at my job, so I have a very open schedule allowing for stayovers, walks and drop ins. My schedule is listed open all week, I just need a little bit of notice in advance. When I am with your dog/dogs, cat etc I will feed and water them, and if required give basic medications. This will be adhered to in a timely manner as discussed for your pet's needs. If you have a yard and would prefer to have them be exercised there we can play ball, or if preferred your furries can be walked. When inside, that's you and your dog's space and will be treated with utmost respect.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, having had pets of my own as well as caring for animals in my family. I’ve owned and cared for cats at different stages of their lives and have also adopted a Pit Bull mix. I’ve regularly cared for an active Husky and was responsible for maintaining her daily routine, including making sure she received her medication consistently. While I may not have decades of professional pet-care experience, I’m comfortable taking responsibility and adapting to each animal’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m attentive to those differences. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs plenty of exercise, a cat that prefers its own space, or an animal with specific care requirements, I’m comfortable learning what works and making sure they’re well looked after. I work full-time Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, so I’m away from home during the day. My schedule is best suited to cats and dogs who are comfortable being home alone during a typical workday. Outside of work, I’m home and available to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m fully available on weekends, holidays, and long weekends, making those times especially flexible for boarding and longer stays. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while they’re with me. I live in a 25-foot fifth wheel in a quiet, private setting with no pets of my own. While the space is smaller than a traditional home, it provides a cozy and comfortable environment where pets can stay close by and receive plenty of attention. I have a semi-fenced yard with almost an acre of surrounding space for outdoor time. I’m also just a five-minute walk or short drive from local trails and the Nanaimo River, giving us plenty of opportunities to get outside when appropriate. Because there are no other pets in the home, your pet can settle into their own space without having to share it with unfamiliar animals. I’ll always follow their routines, care instructions, and individual boundaries, with their safety and comfort as my priority.

“This was the first time I've been away from Dug since I got him. I was so worried to leave him with someone else, Cindy did a great job at reassuring me that he's in good hands, with daily updates and photos of him, he seemed to be very happy. She took him on daily walks and made sure he wasnt alone for long periods of time. As she stayed in my house she left it spotless and respected house rules. She did have me fill out forms in advance to help with settling in easier. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone who is looking to have their fur baby and home looked after!”

“I asked the dogs: Salsa - "Many stars! Many walks! Much fun! Cookies? Things! WHEEEEE!" Mister Bird - "All good. Got some bounces in there, hung out a lot, cruised the neighbourhood. Worked out great!" Salsa - "WHEEEEE! Cookies?" We will happily hire Shannon again.”

About: I have cared for the pets and homes of many friends and family when they went on vacation. Recently, I also joined Trusted Housesitter for awhile and enjoyed caring for many fun, furry friends! One of my charges was a 17 year old small dog. He could not manage stairs or getting into vehicles anymore so I carried him a lot. He also had incontinence issues and I managed his hygienic needs well. He had a special diet with supplements added and I enjoyed lovingly preparing his food. His owners were very pleased with my care and expressed that they thought I treated him better than they did! I have also cared for larger dogs like golden retrievers. We enjoyed many long walks together exploring. I am a part-time caregiver for my elderly father and can easily arrange my schedule to do all the essentials and also have fun times with your pet(s)! I am very flexible and adaptable and look forward to spending quality time with new furry friends! I only offer care for pets in their own homes. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking and petsitting in your own home. My preference is for homes that have fenced yards but as I’ve said I am flexible. I will easily adapt to your environment and whatever your guidelines and requirements are.

“Thank you Kathryn for your understanding today and helping fulfill the needs for Daisy. She clearly trusted you right away and your consistent communication allowed me to enjoy my day away :)”

“Sasha did a fabulous job with our special French bulldog for two nights! She handled his quirks without hesitation and he absolutely adored her. Sasha is an excellent communicator and sent us frequent updates and photos. She treated our home with the upmost respect and left it cleaner than how she found it. I would highly recommended Sasha!”

About: I started my business 26 years ago, been professionally full time dogwalking ever since! I grew up with my parents owning a doggy daycare and learned everything from a young age about dogs, dog training, petsitting and dogwalking. I do private walks and group walks. Every dog has a meet and greet to evaluate their personality , and placed with the perfect group for him/her. I have training expierence, pet 1st aid, am bonded and insured. I practice fear free training with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I am available 6 days a week, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sundays, from 9 am to 5 pm. Potty breaks, playtime or walk & trains I live on a secured 3-acre property, with no other dogs. I do daily dog walking from 9 am to 5 pm, including drop in visits for playtime, potty breaks, or walk & trains

About: I have had dogs on and off my entire life. I adopted an older dog in my twenties who had severe arthritis and cared for him until his final days. This gave me hands-on experience with senior care and medication administration. I have house sat for my family and friend’s dogs throughout the years and given the dogs medication whenever it was needed. I have also been on many walks, runs and hikes with dogs and am able to handle high-energy dogs. My partner and I currently own a dog who is anxious and has some separation anxiety, and so I have a lot of patience and can handle more nervous/anxious dogs. Because of his anxiousness we are almost always with him and have a very homebody lifestyles with tons of positive reinforcement and desensitization techniques. I work as a flight attendant Monday to Wednesday's, and the rest of the time I am home. Whenever I am home I am fully available for pet sitting, dog walking and house drop ins. I mostly spend my days off going for long walks along the seawall, running, camping and enjoying time at home with my dog. I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of time off so it allows me to be fully present for any dog care. I currently live in an apartment in Fairview with easy access to the outdoors. There is a dog park about 10 minutes away from my place along with the seawall for walks. I live in a quiet neighbourhood that is very dog friendly. There is a vet at a 10 minute walk if ever it was needed.
