House Sitting Cole Harbour

“Courtney was wonderful with our two large breed dogs & cat during a week we were away. Dogs seemed very happy with her stay. She left the house tidy, with the bedsheets she used left in the washer for us. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to her for future dog walks or overnight stays.”

Meg E.

“Lori was fantastic! After meeting her, I was assured that she does this purely out of her love for dogs, not just the extra cash! She sent great updates regularly and pics and I felt at ease while travelling knowing my most precious boy was being well tended to.”

Jenna B.

“Ross was a wonderful pet sitter, very professional and communicative. He bonded with my dog immediately and put my mind at ease while I was away. I can’t recommend him enough.”

“5 star plus for Kathleen. We have a selective/unique cockerspaniel who loved her. She provided daily pics and updates keeping us in the know, especially when we were missing him. She left the house in great condition and communicated efficiently with family that was helping out. Thank you, Kathleen. Look forward to booking you again for our next getaway.”

Carmen L.

“Louise was wonderful! Regular check-ins and photos were sent, even ones of our dog who wasn't ready to be her friend! The house was exactly as we left it and the dogs were happy!”

Karen V.

“Julia was great! Kai was very nervous at first as he has a lot of separation anxiety, but Julia was very patient with him and kept me updated the entire time! She sent lots of pictures of how happy he was :) I will definitely be rebooking with Julia”

“Jenna was an absolute gem. She treated Annie like her own, took great care of my place and kept me in the loop with great communication. Recommend!”

“Cleah did an amazing job looking after our dogs for two weeks. The dogs were happy and our house was spotless when we arrived back home. I would highly recommend Cleah!!”

Erin F.

“Alexandra was great with Soba and put our mind at ease as it was our first time being away down our dog. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

Gillian M.

“Maggie is mature, lovely and reliable. My dog, Chloe, was well cared for. I will definitely book with Maggie again. Thank you again, Maggie, for taking such great care of Chloe”

Christine S.

“We were happy with the care our dogs received while we were away. They were healthy and happy when we got home, which gave us great peace of mind. Communication was easy, and the sitter was friendly and dependable throughout the stay.. The only small issue is that the amount of time spent with our dogs wasn't quite what we had expected based on our discussions beforehand. It wasn't a major issue, just expected more time at home with the boys! Overall, we appreciate the care our dogs received and would gladly recommend this sitter to others! She's a busy girl, book her in advance!!”

About: I love animals so much and have had them in my life since a very young age. I will love your animal like my own and will keep them happy until your return! I own my own spa business out of my home so I am flexible to be able to fit visits in with your pet through the day. The pets in my house (I have a dog and two cats) are spoiled rotten! I believe that all animals are a gift to us! I have the ability to administer medication to your pets if needed also. I am flexible for whatever your animals needs are - just ask!

“Kina did an excellent job of dog sitting our chocolate lab Hershey. She sent lots of updates with pictures. Hershey was very happy and relaxed when we returned. Our house was also kept in excellent condition. Thank you Kina for such an excellent experience!”

About: I have had my own dog, Bear, for 10 years. He’s a highly excitable beagle-dachshund mix! As a university student, I’m always looking to give back to my community in the summers. I’d love to help out my fellow pet-lovers by ensuring their dog gets their needs exceeded while feeling comfortable and loved. With a flexible schedule and calm demeanour, I can help unload the stresses of life by giving your dog the care they deserve🐾 From July-August I have a highly flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life as a student since my summer-job has come to a close and school does not begin until September. I can help at those difficult times when both work and your dog need attention at once. I will always take the time to learn the precautions you have set up for your dog, whether that be fencing, gates, crates, or a designated play area. You can trust me to respect any special requests as I understand the needs dogs sometimes require. My own dog is on daily medication and requires mobility assistance for stairs.

About: My experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and behavior has given me a strong understanding of cats' unique needs, personalities, and medical requirements. I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and medication. I also have experience recognizing subtle feline body language and stress signals, helping me provide care that is both compassionate and respectful of each cat's comfort level. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment and am experienced working with shy, anxious, reactive, or otherwise sensitive cats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers their own space, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I recently transitioned to a casual position at Lady Hammond Animal Hospital after working there full-time for nearly two years. This change has given me the flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets and providing them with the attention they deserve. My passion for animal care began long before my veterinary experience, with previous work in dog daycare and grooming environments. What I enjoy most is building relationships with animals and helping them feel happy, fulfilled, and comfortable while their families are away. I have always loved spending time outdoors and staying active. After the loss of my own dog last October, I found myself missing the companionship and joy that comes from sharing walks and adventures with a furry friend. Now that I have the time and availability, I've made it my mission to help provide that experience for pets whose owners may need an extra hand with exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having a caring and knowledgeable companion nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I'm always ready for the next adventure. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, allowing me to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs—whether they prefer an energetic adventure, a leisurely stroll, or something in between. My goal is to ensure every outing is safe, enriching, and enjoyable. I drive a spacious SUV with plenty of room to safely transport pets to appropriate exercise and enrichment locations, as well as provide reliable transportation to and from veterinary appointments if needed. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs, from independent animals who require quiet time and space to decompress, to affectionate "Velcro pets" who thrive on constant companionship and attention. My background in animal behavior helps me recognize body language and stress signals, allowing me to adapt my care and provide accommodations that support each pet's comfort and well-being. I am also experienced with a variety of feeding routines and dietary requirements, including veterinary prescription diets, medication administration, food allergies and sensitivities, and raw feeding protocols. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's established routine and will ensure they receive consistent, attentive care while you're away.

“I'll preface this review with: I've never ever trusted anyone but my mom to watch my dogs. I am a hover-dog-mom probably to a fault, and I have the absolute highest standards of care for Phoebe and Marcel (two large-ish goldendoodles). Sarah and Dylan were lovely, immediately bonded with my dogs, took care to check in every day with photos, were excellent to communicate with, and fulfilled my everlasting list of demands. I came home to a clean house with 2 happy pups. Would recommend Sarah and Dylan to anybody looking for caring, considerate and capable pet sitters.”

“Jacques stay at our house to look after our two golden retrievers, Daisy and Rufus, and our bearded dragon, Spike. He did a wonderful job maintaining the dogs’ comfortable daily routine, and we really appreciated the daily updates that showed how well everyone was doing. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and perfectly themselves— a good sign of the quality care they received. It was so reassuring to know they were in capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Jacques to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter, and would be very happy to have him back again.”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I have strong listening and communication skills from my customer service background, so I always make sure pet parents feel updated and reassured. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, or a senior pet who needs gentle care and extra patience, I adapt to make them feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and create a loving, stress-free environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular interaction, playtime, and comfort.I am available for house sitting for both cats and dogs, and I can also host cats in my home. Since I work remotely, I’m able to follow feeding schedules closely, provide timely potty breaks, and maintain a calm, structured environment.I only accept bookings I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives reliable, attentive, and loving care. Since I work from home, cats in my care receive consistent supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide cozy resting spots, and make sure their environment is calm and stress-free. I also spend time socializing and enriching their day with toys, scratching posts and gentle interaction. I provide house sitting by following each pet’s routine carefully feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I ensure their environment stays safe and comfortable and I provide updates to owners regularly so they feel reassured. For dogs, I include walks or outdoor play and for cats, I make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they are energetic, shy or senior pets needing extra care.No matter the location or service, every pet in my care receives attention, affection and the same level of love and responsibility I would give my own pets.

“Jasper was a life saver! She was flexible in working with me for a last minute stay with my dog Ted, and took very good care of him, providing me with regular updates and pictures of their walks.”

“Kelsey stayed in my home for 7 days to care for my two dogs, a husky and a chihuahua, and I could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable and sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which made it so easy to relax while I was away. It was clear my dogs were very well cared for. She also left the house clean and tidy, which was so appreciated after returning from vacation. Knowing my dogs were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I would recommend Kelsey in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”
