About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. Most recently I trained a dog to mush. She is now living with my mother as a service dog for her social anxiety. My friends often lean on me to house and pet sit. I have a lot of experience with dogs who don't play well with other dogs or have some other kind of triggers. I am a tree planter and professional climber. My schedule is very flexible so I will be able to take care of your fur babies or just your house anytime 👍 Safety is a core value of mine in any aspect of my life. I will employ any safety measures required to take care of your pets.

About: Passionate dog walker ready to care for your furry friend. Tailored walks, big smiles. From hikes to the dog park, whatever your preference is i can manage it. I work from home and I generally go for a mid morning walk and an afternoon walk. Happy to be in the forest or neighborhood. I have the first floor of my home outfitted for dog care, and a quick walk away from the puntledge river. Happy to board and walk dogs.

“Samantha was great, we felt comfortable leaving our Luna in her hands while we were away. She put our worries at ease with her check ins. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have raised my own silver lab husky cross Blue since he was a pup to be a very smart, sweet and active dog. I am looking to continue to share my love for animals with you and yours! My windows of time to share with your dog are very sporadic throughout the week depending on my shift work schedule. That being said, I would still love to use my l free time to take care of your pet! I have a large fenced yard and plenty of walking trails around my neighbourhood to take your dog on long walks or runs if that is what they need!

About: Hi everyone, I'm from Vancouver but have relocated to Courtenay to study an Animal Care Aide program in a few months. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience, dog walking, administering medications, drop ins to check on your pet, and more. I have had pets my entire life and met my first bunny as a baby and fell in love. I've had hamsters, goldfish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats and dogs so I have about 37 years of past experience caring for all animals but specialize in taking care of bunnies. I'm hoping to find some casual or part-time work here, even when I'm in school. If you are interested in any of my services, please don't hesitate to reach out and message me. I currently own a 3 year old bunny named Boris who is half Dwarf and half Lop at 4.7lbs. He is my everything and the first thing I do when I wake up is feed him his pellets in stacking cups and hide treats in his treat puzzle where he'll come to greet me good morning and give me kisses. I then clean his litterbox to keep up to his high standards as well as mine and add fresh tomothy hay. After a lot of napping and play-time for him, he waits patiently at his dinner area for his evening salad consisting of dark, leafy greens, a few bits of carrots, and treats hiding inside which I make myself, at home, using only fresh, natural ingredients. He gets his night-time pets and hay cubes and more play-time from there on out and continues to play after I go to bed as bunny schedules tend to differ from humans. I'm not currently accepting boarding at my house as I'm not the only one living here and there is someone with allergies. I do, however, pet-sit when convenient for both parties for all kinds of animals and have no trouble with specific requirements one pet may have including administering medications. Feel free to ask me anything to determine if I would be a suitable fit to care for your loved one.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, I have taken care of big and small dogs. I love dogs with a passion ! I currently work part time as a Paramedic, I have a lot of down time/off time, however my paramedic career will always come first ! I typically work 4days on, 4 days off, so on my days off I have lots of time! On the days I am working, I occasionally have down time, but this obviously can change and I am obligated to be a paramedic first! Please note: I am not able to have dogs in my apartment, so I am strictly dog sitting at your home! I am very diligent, routine based, and have always been reliable and on time! Ive taken care of dogs for years and love every minute of it!

“This was our first time using Rover and leaving the boys with someone new in the last 2 years. Owen and Tatiana were wonderful. They were amazing with their communication and keeping us up to date. Both kitties seemed very content and happy when we got home and our usual shy Linus seemed to be more social with them then other folks he has met multiple times! They had to give Charlie his thyroid medication twice a day and handled this with no issues. Super trustworthy and lovely folks that we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and again! Thank you so much!”

About: Seven years ago, I found my best adventure buddy, Nikita. We're always out and about, exploring new places, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and adventuring together. I'd love to help take care of your pup whenever you're at work or away for a few days. Your dog must be ok with other dogs. 😊 I am currently on 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off schedule so I’ll have lots of time to play with your pup while on my time off (whenever I am available for bookings). I have a house in Courtenay with a big fenced backyard where the doggos can play. There are also couple trails near by I like to go to.

“My girl Teaka had a great time with Bailey. You could tell when i picked her up how they interacted together & she gave him kisses before we left. I had a full day of errands around Abbotsford / Chilliwack and coming far out of town it was difficult for me to syncronize everything but Bailey was so accomodating & it made my day much smoother. I would happily leave Teaka with Bailey again.”

“Linda was great in caring for our kitten! She was available short-notice on a long weekend, including to exchange keys. The pictures she provided of her play dates were also much appreciated. She also provided great recommendations to us as new cat-parents. Would definitely use Linda again.”

Paige B.

“Tahlia was great with our kitties and they looked like they were very well taken care and happy! She communicated well and followed directions with no concerns. I appreciated the peace of mind, while we were away at work.. We'd be happy to book her again :)”

Rachel G.

“Katelyn was great with Perry! He’s normally nervous with new people but he adored her from the moment they met. She sent fabulous pictures and we were greeted by one happy guys when we got home. We’ll be booking Katelyn again in the future.”

“It’s clear that Kaleena loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about training. She did exactly what we asked for with our nervous and reactive dog. Highly recommend!!”

About: I've taken care of Huskies and Malamutes most my life. Experience with German Shepards too. I'm good with all dog breeds in general and enjoy making sure they're happy. Despite huskies being notoriously energetic, noisy, and unruly dogs at times, I've always fostered the chillest, quietest, and easy going huskies. Everyone who meets my dog is ways surprised how well behaved and calm she is. I work different jobs but my schedule is pretty predictable. Teacher on-call, media developer, videographer, tourism/hospitality worker, outdoor enthusiast. Wednesday-Sunday I'm usually free. I usually walk my dog around the block and take her to the exhibition grounds dog park. I have a balcony designated for pet use, as well as a two types of crates to cordon off animals if needed. Access to fresh water, treats, and attention are all easily available.

“Kaoru was very thorough and helpful during her visit with Finn, she took lots of photos of him and made sure he was safe and well kept. I definitely will be using her services again!”
