About: We have been lifelong dog and cat lovers and currently have a very friendly tuxedo cat named Severus. We can't wait to host your furry loved ones in our home or in yours! We have looked after over 40 dogs and cats and our reviews speak for themselves! Lauren has had many beloved family cats and Ramesh is a cat and dog-lover who can often be seen crossing the street just to request a pet. We are looking to add furry friends to our lives and have lots of love to give. Your dog or cat will be treated like family under our care. We will take your dog out for bathroom breaks as needed and feed them according to their feeding schedule with food you provide. We are both active and will ensure your dog gets the physical activity it desires! We will communicate with you throughout and will share as many updates and photos as you desire. We are happy to meet in advance to ensure we're the right fit to look after your pet as we take the care of your pet seriously. We are conscientious young professionals who have excellent communication and organization skills, so we will ensure your experience is hassle-free! Note: we have just moved houses and are still prettying it up. So, the photos on our profile are of our previous home! We will update our profile with new photos as soon as possible and upon your request. Ramesh works full-time, from home. Lauren is wrapping up her PhD program at the University of Victoria and is also a sessional instructor at the university. We both are quite flexible with commitments and are quite easily able to take your dog out for walks and potty breaks throughout the day. We both are very active and pet care fits right into our schedules. We live in a house with a fenced yard to the side and an unfenced yard out front plus a number of parks nearby. Our home is spacious and yours will get all of our love and attention! We have a very friendly cat named Severus. He is an adventurous boy and loves making friends. We have a food and water dish but we will rely on you to provide pet food and treats. We won't provide any food that isn't yours to ensure that there is no risk to your pet. We also ask that you bring any favourite toys or other items your furry friend requires to keep them comfortable during their stay :)

About: Hi! I am an animal lover with a lifelong history of caring for dogs and cats. While I currently don't have pets of my own, I have grown up with animals my entire life, including regularly taking take for dogs for family, friends and co-workers. I was raised with a Husky/Malamute and frequently care for my parents' Husky/Shepherd mix and my aunt's Havanese, so I am comfortable with a range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I'm active, upbeat and dependable and I take pride in being patient, nurturing, and responsive to each pet's individual needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in-visits, or extra companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am always happy to answer questions and would love to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure I'm a great fit for you and your pet. *Please note, I respond to messages from here between 7am and 8pm. I currently work full time during the week, but my weekends are flexible and I don't work every third Monday, which means I have flexibility of these Mondays. I would take care of your pet in your home or mine and do what is requested of me. I would want to get to know your dogs needs in order to make them feel safe and to minimally disrupt their routine.

About: Easy going and energetic pet lover that has looked after all kinds and sizes of dogs. Also had many cats when I lived on an acreage, including a goat! Pets have always been a big part of my life. I don't presently have a pet so am excited to help with yours. A big fan of dog walks and will even walk your cat! Flexible on dates and times to accommodate your schedule. My home is a secure space with a third of an acre forest behind and has great open green spaces nearby to play and walk. I’m happy to have your pet visit and stay over or I will come to your pet. Please feel free to contact me and let me know how I can help you best!

“We left on a week trip and were lucky to find Megan. She was punctual great with communication and did everything we had asked plus more. Both our kitties were well fed and had clean boxes when we returned home. Would recommend and know who we will reach out to for our next trip.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and have looked after a variety of different types of dogs and cats for various friends, neighbours, and colleagues. I am currently on my summer break from teaching and so will have plenty of time to hang out with, walk, and get to know your pets. When looking after pets in my client’s homes I do my best to make sure it feels as normal as possible for their pets, sticking as close to their usual routines as I can, and, after approving it beforehand, providing some fun adventures along the way!

“All good! I came home to a happy cat 🥹”

About: Since I can remember I’ve had such a love for animals and their beautiful personalities and energy. Since approximately 12 years of age I’ve cared for and raised dogs. My husband and I have had two wonderful companions for 16-18 years who are sadly no longer with us. We continue to want to have animals in our life and help where we can. We have experience with puppies , middle aged, and senior pups and love all the stages that each age ranges bring. With family member we understand the utmost care and trust is needed. When we had our two dogs our lives definitely revolved around the both of them. Whether it be walking, feeding, playing and medications - they always came first. They were family. Our home consists of 2.5 floors. We have hardwood and carpets (runners) available for dogs who have traction issues. We can carry dogs that weigh up to 20 Ibs up and down if needed if they are older and also utilize baby gates. Water is available up and down and we also have AC.

“Maia was great checking in on my cat and alleviated a lot of stress for him when I was out of town. Maia is a true animal lover and my cat was comfortable with her right away. She is reliable, communicates well, and follows all the instructions for your pet. I am looking forward to her caring for my cat again.”

About: I have a beautiful, sweet kitty in my life but I need more love and I’m hoping to get it from your pets! I grew up on a hobby farm with all sorts of animals. I have experience with cats, dogs, small animals, birds, large livestock and even insects and arachnids. I have to say living in the farm has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Through my many years experience with pets I have learned to read the body language and eye contact of a variety of animals making it easier to build trust and a better connection. I’m attentive and affectionate and am confident your loved ones will be in safe in my loving hands. I work part time from home in the insurance industry but would love to eventually make Rover my fulltime career. I am able to take your pet outside to the bathroom anytime of the day and can go for mini walks on my breaks before the big adventure after work. I will care for your pets in your home just as you would care for your pets in your home. Per your instructions as always.

About: * A little note and update. Unfortunately my mom passed away last year and I have moved to Langford BC for a new beginning. So to any previous clients from Burlington that I haven’t spoken to before my move - I’m unfortunately no longer living there. It was a pleasure to work with you ! Everything else below holds true. Please read my profile carefully before booking to make sure I’m a good fit for your dog. I have over 18 years experience caring for animals. I’m an intuitive energy ( Reiki Master ) healer which allows me to connect and understand your dog’s needs at a deeper level. If your dog is nervous or afraid of new people and/ or surroundings, i’m able to calm them with a little energy treatment. I also have many years of teaching and practicing first aid under my belt, as well as 11years of caring for my first dog Charlie. Over all, I have a tremendous love and understanding of animals, which I believe makes me a great choice for caring for your beloved fur babies. I know how incredibly precious they are to you, and will ensure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own. I am writing a film, doing pack walks and running my energy healing business from home - which allows me a flexible schedule to give your animals the care they need. For overnight / daycare : we live in a coach house in Langford BC - a close drive to Royal Oak Beach. It’s such a beautiful, safe neighbourhood to explore and go for walks. Sooke Hills Wilderness Park is just 3mins away. Note there is a set of stairs leading up to my living space so for those dogs that can’t do stairs I might not be a good fit. I am available to sit at your home though if it’s easier. I’m currently working from home writing my film. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time for play and walks. Your pet is always my first priority though and I will customize my days around their schedule and care. Dogs are always leashed and well cared for when out for walks. I don’t have a yard or anywhere they can escape from. Their safety will always be my first priority.

About: I truly believe our pets aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I know how vulnerable it can feel to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and that’s exactly why I decided to offer pet care services. My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, attention, love, and respect I expect for my own. I’m a proud pet parent myself. I have a Shiba Inu whom I personally trained, so I have firsthand experience with an intelligent, independent, strong-willed breed that requires patience, consistency, and an understanding of individual boundaries and personality. I also have a senior cat who requires extra attention and special care, which has given me a deep appreciation for the needs of older pets. I understand that every animal is different - some need lots of exercise and stimulation, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, reassurance, or simply someone who understands their routine. When you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a well-deserved vacation, you should be able to relax knowing your furry babies are safe, comfortable, loved, and properly cared for. I want you to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering, “Are they okay?” 🏡 Flexible & Dependable - Including House Sitting I am a reputable, knowledgeable real estate agent and property manager, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate different routines and, whenever my schedule permits, last-minute bookings as well. My professional background also means I understand the responsibility and trust involved when someone gives me access to their home. I will always treat your home, privacy, belongings, and pets with care and respect. While I’m caring for your furry family members, my partner looks after our own pets. This gives me the flexibility to offer house sitting and overnight pet care without having to rush home to mine. ❤️ Why I Do This Caring for others is simply a big part of who I am. I genuinely love animals, and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to combine two things that bring me happiness: helping people and caring for animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, cuddles, a consistent routine, patient senior care, or simply a loving person nearby while you're gone, I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and secure. 📍I’m based in Langford and have a vehicle, so I’m happy to travel throughout the region, including North Saanich, Sooke, Mill Bay, and surrounding communities. Your pets deserve someone who understands that, to you, they aren't just animals waiting at home. They’re your babies. They’re family. And while they’re in my care, I’ll treat them that way. 🐾❤️ As a real estate agent and property manager, I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My partner cares for our pets while I’m away, allowing me to offer overnight and house sitting as well. I’m based in Langford and can travel from North Saanich to Sooke and Mill Bay. I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, walks, medications, and any special instructions you have. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

“Andrea takes such good care of our elderly kitty. She never misses sending us lots of photos at each drop-in visit and we know our old boy is in good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life! I am patient and calm. I can trim cat nails like a pro:) I am looking for a companion until my cat eventually arrives in BC! I just moved from Ontario:) as of now I don’t have any pets in my home. I am currently a TTOC (supply teacher). I don’t have a full time position. I go in when I’m called in. I’m home mornings until 9am. I’m always home in the evenings after I work ! I have a 1 bedroom condo on the ground floor with a patio and garden. I am experienced with having a cat on a leash if needed to roam around the garden. I have lots of windows for the cat to look out :)

About: 5+ years of hands-on experience and dedication to providing thoughtful care for every pet. I have cared for puppies, dogs, and cats by house-sitting, walking dogs, feeding pets, giving medications and vitamins, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide reliable, loving care. I am available to walk your pets in the early afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can house-sit on occasion, if we come to a mutual agreement! I provide loving, personalized care, follow routines, ensure fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Customizable to you!

About: I grew up with animals in the home. I have experience with animal rescue and rehabilitation and am practiced in caring for vulnerable animals (kittens/puppies, elders, sick animals.) I’m currently in between jobs and have open availability for both quick drop in visits as well as availability for extended stays to care for your pets :) I provide attentive and intuitive care for your animals. I have lots of energy for walks and play that is balanced out by a responsible and caring nature.

About: A lifelong animal lover, pet sitting has long been a pleasure. Whether your pet enjoys a local hike, slow beach days, playing at home with a favourite toy, or simply relaxing with good company, I have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and ages. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you're apart. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time because you know them best. I also have experience caring for senior pets and those who need medication or a little extra attention. If I'm staying in your home, I'll leave it just as you left it and happily bring in packages while you're away. I offer house sitting and drop-in visits, although I'm unable to host pets in my own home. I also have a vehicle for outings with larger dogs. I work daytime weekdays with 3 days in office in James Bay, and 2 at home near Spectrum. Available early mornings, evenings and weekends to play, cuddle, and walk. For both housesitting and drop in care, I value understanding the home environment of your pet, their routines and the spaces they are able to use safely. Written or verbal orientation information is appreciated.
