1. Tory B.

“Highly recommend! Tory was fantastic, we have a lab/collie with a dog reactivity and always feel nervous leaving him with others. Tory had experience with this which made us feel much at ease. She is also very friendly, clean, and respectful. Will definitely reach out to her in the future! Thank you Tory!!”


2. Jane R.

“Jane was amazing with our reactive dog while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures and kept us updated daily. It was so nice to know that our girl was in good hands while we were away.”


3. Miranda M.

“This is the second time that Miranda took care of my dogs. She is very responsible and she loves taking care of dogs. My dogs are happy with her. Whenever she sent some pictures, I could tell that my dogs were very happy. Thank you Miranda!”


4. Taylor L.

“House/Dog sitting. Tayor was a friendly, capable dog sitter. Our young, shy, dog, Shimmer, took to Taylor within 5 minutes of meeting her. We only had Taylor looking after her for two days and one night, but I would not hesitate to call on Taylor again .”


5. Carolyn W.
“Carolyn is an amazing pet buddy! She has watched our furry guy, Emmett, many times over the past few years. We feel so fortunate to have someone who truly takes care of our dog. Emmett has a ton of energy and she always make sure he has a great walk. In addition to feeding, walking and cuddles, Carolyn always seems to go the extra distance - she has even made his food when we were on vacation and supplies ran low. She is trustworthy and responsible. And she truly loves Emmett!”


6. Selena D.

“Absolutely...without any doubt...100% impressed and happy with the service we received. The communication and pics sent throughout the weekend were the best. We came home to happy pups. Will use this service and this dog sitter again. Thank you so much”


7. Kelsi Lee C.

“Kelsi provided pet sitting for our dog and cat, as well as house sitting for a week. The animals were happy, and cared for, our house was perfect. Highly recommend. Kelsi asks great questions and ensures that she has all the information she needs to care for your pets and home.”


8. Taylor D.

“I recently had Taylor watch my dogs for the day, and I couldn’t be happier with her services. My dog is usually quite nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Taylor quickly, which says a lot about her calm and caring demeanor. She was attentive, kept me updated throughout the day, and even sent me photos, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”


9. Adria L.

“Adria was great with my dog Hennessy. She stayed in communication and was flexible when my travel plans proved to be challenging. Hennessy was so happy when I got home and can’t wait to see her again.”


10. Chloe C.

“I can't say enough good things about Chloe. She looked after our dog Jake, who has some fear reactivity to new people in his space. Chloe took the time to meet Jake not once, but three times before we left on our vacation. Chloe clearly has experience with dogs and making them comfortable. She asked about Jake's specific care needs and sent us photos while we were away. Chloe always responded quickly to any messages we sent her, and she left us feeling confident that our dog (and house) were in good hands. We will definitely use her dog care services for any vacations coming up in the future!”




11. Sonya S.

“I recently hired Sonja to take care of my nervous pup, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Despite my dog's initial anxiety, the sitter's patience and understanding really came through. She took the time to build trust and create a comfortable environment, providing updates and reassurance throughout. I returned to a relaxed and contented dog, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they received. I highly recommend Sonja as a dog sitter to anyone in need of compassionate and reliable pet care.”


12. Kelsey B.

“Kelsey took such great care with our two cats, Julian and Greta. She provided us with regular updates, made sure they were good on water, food, and litter, and went above and beyond to be affectionate and amazing company for them while we were gone over the holidays. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
13. Elel P.

“Elel was an attentive and excellent house-sitter for our cats. She is professional, friendly and communicative. One of our cats is shy and normally hides from strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Elel. She gave us daily updates with pictures and videos and she kept our place clean and the cats happy. We’re glad we reached out to Elel for this - she made us feel at ease and comfortable about leaving our cats with her.”


14. Kaitlyn B.

“Kaitlyn is a wonderful cat sitter. She was on time, communicative, kind, clean, and spent tons of time taking care of my cat. Besides being all that, she’s clearly an amazing animal person. She did an amazing job and was perfect from start to finish, going above and beyond what I asked. Thank you so much Kaitlyn.”


15. Rezina H.

“Rezina did an amazing job of house/pet sitting for a week while we were away on vacation. She left our house spotless and our dog and cat loved her! Our dog can be quite energetic but that didn’t seem to phase her. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter in Langford!”


16. Kristen T.

“My cats love Kristen, and so do we! Kristen recently stayed at our place while we were away for a week. We could trust that our cats were well cared for in the A/C, with plenty of treats and playtime. We were provided daily updates, quick communication and photos and videos. My grouchy old girl took a while to warm up to Kristen, but through patience and creativity Kristen eventually won her over. Our place was lovely to come back to and it is clear that Kristin took care to be respectful of our place. Garbage was taken out, sheets washed, floor swept and most importantly, two happy cats! ❤️”


17. Michelle S.
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I’m a devoted animal lover with two adorable cats of my own, Bleach and Tidepods, who are the centre of my world. I have a deep love for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My experience extends to working with animals who have faced abuse, disabilities, and require special medical attention. I am committed to providing the highest level of compassion and care, ensuring that your pet receives the personalized love and attention they deserve. I work from 8-5pm, but due to my flexible schedule, I have most Mondays off and work from home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am available early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I live in Langford but can commute where needed. I have a large yard with plenty of space and am close to nearby trails and paths. If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to chat with you! I’m also happy to arrange a meetup beforehand to ensure everything is perfect for your furry friend. Looking forward to connecting!


18. Pat M.

“According to Bailey, our Maltese, Pat treated him with attention and affection like never before (except from us) while we were away on Christmas vacation: he frankly hated to see her leave. Pat responded to our enquiry promptly and met with us on two occasions to get all the details regarding staying in our home, including Bailey's culinary details and exercise and sleeping preferences. Upon our return we found everything as we had left it and a very happy Bailey eager to have us go on another vacation in order to have fun with Pat again. We highly recommend Pat as she saved the situation for us. Initially, we did some "interviews" with a local kennel but were rejected since all Bailey did during the "all day trial" was try to escape. On future trips, Pat will be the first person we'll contact for the job.”


19. Danielle P.
“Danielle did an excellent job looking after my dog and and keep me well informed which is always appreciated.”


20. Amy G.

“Amy was terrific! She stayed 2 weeks in our home with our cat and French Bull dog. It was like we were never gone. Although they were all happy to see us when we arrived home, they hadn't skipped a beat! The house was as we left it and our fur babies were perfect! Our vacation was a huge success because of Amy and knowing Ruby and Lulu were in great hands. She sent us a picture/video every day which always made us smile. This was our first trip away and now we can confidently know it won't be our last. Thank you Amy, we really appreciate you :))”
