House Sitting in Courtenay

“Rebecca is a very kind hearted person. She is very respectful of our home. We know she's caring because the dogs love to see her when she comes for a sit. Rebecca is an informative and prompt communicator. I would highly recommend Rebecca.”

About: I have done house and pet sitting for many years. I will treat your baby as if s(he) were my own. I have many references from all across Canada and in other countries. Since I am retired I am available most days. This gives me a nice way to get out and spend time with animals I enjoy. I think it is more comfortable for the pet to be in their own home. I am happy to provide my services in your home.

“We couldn't be happier with the care Cindy provided while staying at our home. What impressed us most was her ability to build a relationship with our two dogs. One of our pups is a rescue with significant trust issues, and Cindy was patient and intuitive in earning their confidence. She kept us completely at ease with frequent updates, photos, and detailed reports. It was clear our dogs were happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy sitter!”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a young child. I currently have 1 wheaton terrier, and 2 gerbils (my daughters). I love taking care of animals, and have experience with walking, training, boarding dogs and cats. I love taking dogs to beach and forest walks--we have a large park behind our home where dogs can run and play safely. Children in home (11, 7) Note: any pets boarding with me need to be safe with children. No aggressive animals will be accepted. I work from home Monday to Friday with some weekdays off, weekends off-ensure my own dog walks 3 times a day including a long walk/plays, lots of pet love. I have large fenced yard, huge park behind our home which is away from busy roads. Lots of playtime inside and outside, our kids are great with animals and love caring for them too.

About: Hi, I’m Kenya :) Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for my grandparents chickens and sheep. I also raised a loving & energetic Wheaton Terrier, who lived to a happy old age, I am comfortable providing the care senior dogs need. I adopted and raised rescued small animals.. guinea pigs and rats have my heart. I am very familiar with the handling, cage cleaning, and environment enrichment needed in their lives for them to thrive! These days I share my home with a sweet cat, which means I’m very tuned in to the little quirks and routines that make cats feel secure and loved. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing a gentle walk, a cuddly cat, or small critters, I treat them all with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I run my own business and mostly work from home, with 1-2 days a week spent in a local business. This gives me a lot of flexibility to build pet care into my day, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or having extra company while I’m home. Comfort and safety come first. I stick closely to routines so animals feel secure. I’m meticulous when it comes to details like feeding, medications, and exercise. I respect your space and follow instructions carefully so both you and your pets can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I'm new here, but I have already done several pet-sitting jobs for my friends. I love dogs and like to play and cuddle with them. Since I'm traveling and working abroad, it's not possible for me to have my own pets. So if I can help others and be with animals at the same time, it makes me really happy. I work Monday to Friday from 5 AM to 1 PM. After that, I have the entire afternoon to watch the animals. In the evening, I sometimes have CrossFit or volleyball for 1-2 hours, but after that, I would be back again. I am not allowed to have pets in my apartment, so in any case, I would have to come to your house. But there, I would take good care of the animals as well.

“With three "girls" (cats) to look after, with such varying personalities, Katelyn did a wonderful job caring for them. I got a few updates on how they were doing while away. Katelyn seemed happy, competent and self assured, which really kept me from worrying about leaving them. Communication was clear and responses were quick. The house was spotless and the cats completely relaxed and happy when we got home. She even took her own garbage!! I would highly recommend Katelyn if you are looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

“Holly is absolutely wonderful! Her passion for animals is evident in the way she cared for our husky Skye. She went above and beyond, ensuring that every need was met with love and attention. Her dedication and genuine affection for pets make her the perfect sitter. We couldn't be happier with the care Skye received and highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Kolbi and Andrew—they took such incredible care of our senior dachshund, Glen, while we were away. At 15 years old he needs a little extra patience and love, and they gave him both in abundance, keeping us updated and making sure he felt comfortable and cared for. The biggest testament, though, was when Kolbi left—Glen stood at the door watching after her, already missing them! It’s rare to find people who connect so deeply with your pet, and we’re so grateful for the peace of mind they gave us. Highly recommend!”

Laura P.

“Ashley stayed with our two pups for a second time and again we couldn't be more pleased. She continually goes above and beyond our expectations to take the best care of our boys ... not to mention our home as well. We hope she will continue to take care of our two dogs when we travel as I can't imagine using anyone else! Highly recommend!”

“Michelle was great! Jackson snuggled right up to her right away and she was very responsive with pics and keeping us in the loop. She left the place super tidy which was really appreciated as well!”

I have over 10 years experience in dog walking and dog care and over five years experience in housesitting. I am the owner of three cats and me and for four dogs so I understand all of their basic and not so basic needs I am available for anything from a quick half an hour dog walk to bath and overnight care :) Due to the lack of snow, I currently have many days off with where I am available to help out. I have a standard of three days of a week and I am able to pick them so I can fit in with anyone’s care needs I live in an apartment with my partner we are non-smoker and have access to many trail walks and parks We have a closed door balcony, so when looking after feline, they will be nice and safe

“Colleen and her husband watched our 2 frenchies for 2 weeks in February. We love them and so do the dogs. The boys were so well taken care of and so was our home. We returned to 2 happy healthy dogs and a very clean house. They sent us a text updates, pics and some videos regularly, which my wife and I really appreciated. They also helped our boys with a pulling issue they had on leash and found a way to help reduce that behaviour. We will book with this wonderful couple again.”

“Owen and Tatiana are amazing pet sitters! Their kindness and genuine love for animals were clear from the start. They went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and well cared for, sending plenty of updates with photos that gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a spotless house and pets that were relaxed and in great spirits—it was clear how much they adored Owen and Tatiana. Their thoughtful care and attention to detail exceeded all our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. 10/10 recommend—they’re the best!”

“Great experience with Grace and Benoit. We will definitely use them again, and recommend them.”

“Melissa was great. She met us at our hotel and watched our dog who has separation anxiety while we went for dinner. She fed Whisky and took her for a walk. I highly recommend her for watching your dog or walking your dog. Melissa is very reliable.”

“Amelia was great to work with as we arranged our first house/pet sitting. Met our pups in advance and they loved her! Everything was low stress and our dogs were well cared for and happy/relaxed when we arrived back home:-) Thanks Amelia!”

Claudine B.

“Avery was fantastic. I had a last minute request which she was able to accommodate me with quick responses. She took great care of my dog and cat with updates given throughout the stay. She was very tidy and thoughtful in our home. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out in the future for care. Thanks Avery!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. I have looked after my own animals as well as those of friends and family. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playtime, giving companionship, and maintaining daily routines when owners are away. I am comfortable administering medications, including pills, ointments, and eye care products, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I have significant experience with French Bulldogs and understand their specific needs, but I truly enjoy spending time with all breeds and personalities. My goal is always to make each pet feel safe and relaxed, and I will care for them as a true member of the family. I work from Friday to Tuesday, 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM. Outside of these hours, I am available and flexible for pet care services. I can help in the mornings, late evenings after work, and on Wednesdays and Thursdays I am fully available. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my priorities when caring for pets. I make sure they are always in a secure space, use a leash on walks, and follow owners’ instructions carefully. I maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I also can communicate regularly with owners, send updates and pictures.

“Conscientious. Good communications.”
