Pet Sitting in Courtenay

“Dana was a wonderful sitter for my dog who has special needs. She was super attentive and thorough with the care and the report cards. 100% will book with her again.”

Felicia v.

“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”

“Thank you so much for the care and attention of Niah! Amazing communication and attention to Niah, my cat! Would have Nicole back to care for Niah in a heartbeat! 💜”

About: Hi there! I recently said goodbye to my senior dog, Riley, who was just shy of 13. He was my daily walking buddy, my constant companion, and truly the heart of my home. Losing him has left a big space in my life, and I find myself missing the simple joy of walking with a four-legged friend and sharing that unconditional love and companionship. Because Riley was a senior boy, I have lots of experience supporting older dogs—everything from giving medications to understanding their changing energy levels and mobility needs. I also cared for a cat with long-term health issues for several years, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, special routines, and pets who need a little extra attention. Ian has also been around dogs his entire life and helped with Rileys care the last year of his life. His current furry best freind is Sophia the frenchie. He is such a great dog dad to her, making sure her health and wellness is always top priority... and if you know about french bull dogs you would understand this!! ;) We would both love the opportunity to spend time with your dogs, get back to those peaceful walks in nature, and offer the same patience, care, and kindness that we give to our own animals. Whether your pet is young and full of energy or a slow-moving senior with a big heart, We would be honoured to help them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am self employed and have a somewhat flexible schedule with various times available to visit your pet or take them for a walk. I am available most mornings, several evenings and weekends. Ian is available most weeknights and weekends. We pay close attention to the little details and will follow any instructions you share so your pet has everything they need to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have been around animals from a very young age and have worked in veterinary clinic form the past 6 years. I am a current veterinary student at the University of Calgary and as such have ample experience working with all sorts of animals including animals with additional support needs. I currently work part time in the evenings and as such have plenty of time for animal care throughout the mornings and afternoons! Additionally, I have full availability for pet care on days that I do not work. As I have many years of animal handling experience under my belt, I feel that u have a very strong understanding of animal behaviour and communication. This will help me interact with your pet in a way that is comfortable for them and allows us to build rapport quickly and easily!

“We are so glad to have found Fiona. She came by for a meet and greet with our rabbits and was keen to learn about them and make sure she understands how to care for them. We really appreciate her diligence and attention to detail.”

About: Hi there, my name is Tamara! It's nice to meet you. I'm a registered diagnostic medical sonographer that works between the hospitals in Comox Valley & in Campbell River. My work involves creating a connection with people, a love of anatomy.... and sitting in a dark room for 8 hours a day! Taking care of your furry friend not only means they get their beloved outdoor time, but I get mine too. I have grown up around dogs most of my life, and look forward to the day I can adopt my own. Until then, I'm so grateful for the connections I get to make with your furry family member, and to help you find peace of mind while they're in my hands. Please let me know, if it's ever a weekend visit, if you'd like me to take your dog for a hike. My husband and I like to get outdoors on our days off, and will happily take your dog along if you think they could really burn off some energy. I have experience in training as well, so if there's certain commands or habits you're trying to reach your dog, let me know so I can continue that work while they're with me. I'm comfortable with medication too, as my family dog is in his senior years (14 years young!) and requires the odd medication when his age shows. !!Currently located: Comox My hours vary Monday-Friday with work. My start time ranges between 6am-9am, and ends 8hrs after that. When I work in Comox, I can let your dog out on my lunch break. However, I cannot do that when I'm working in Campbell River, so they'd have to be okay with being left alone for 8hrs until my husband can let them out on those days. I'll be sure to let you know! My place isn't pet friendly so I unfortunately cannot have your pet over. However, house sitting will involve plenty of walks and couch snuggles! On weekends, my husband and I usually get outside, hiking, snowshoeing, mountain biking even (if your dog is a trail dog!), so let us know if that's something your pet would be up to doing.

“Paige was great at attending to our cat's unique needs!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always been very involved in their care. Over the years, I’ve helped walk and pet-sit for family and friends, working with dogs of all sizes from 5 lbs to 65 lbs and all energy levels, from slow neighborhood walkers, who want to smell every blade of grass to high-energy pups who pull every step they take. I’ve had experience with both very shy/timid dogs and a reactive dog in my own home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of following an owner’s training style closely. I’m comfortable using tools like special leads, clickers and etc.,I will always respect your routines, rules, and any training you’re working on. I’m a recent graduate who also grew up riding horses and caring for goats and sheep, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I truly do this because I love spending time with animals especially since I can’t currently have a dog of my own in my space and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I typically work between 10am–6pm, with some days finishing way earlier. For house sitting or drop-in visits, this means I’m able to spend quality time with pets in the morning before work including feeding, walks, medication routines, and playtime and then return in the evening for another visit, feeding, and attention. Evenings are often longer visits, especially for dogs who enjoy extended walks or cats who prefer calm companionship and cuddle time. On days I’m off work, I’m available for multiple visits throughout the day and can accommodate midday check-ins or longer outings for high-energy dogs, including enriching walks or hikes if appropriate. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and care. I am clean, organized, and conscientious about leaving your home exactly as I found it. Any messes made by pets will be promptly cleaned, and I ensure food, litter areas, and living spaces remain tidy. My priority is that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you return home to a happy animal and a home that looks untouched.

“Alexia was awesome with Luna. Would recommend and will book her again.”

Laura M.

“Anthony took great care of my cat when I was away, she is very anxious and shy but I felt confident leaving my cat with him, he even took my mail in and sent me updates and a little video to reassure me! I would definitively book Anthony again!!”

“Madison was a lifesaver when I was in a pinch! Tuna is pretty easygoing, but I'm so grateful she stepped in while I was out of town for 30 hours. Even without an in-person meeting, she visited twice, kept me well-informed, and made everything seamless. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl! My brother and I grew up with cats , Guinea pigs , dogs and bunny’s! I now own a 3 year old little weiner dog who is very friendly and loves to play! She makes a great companion and friend for your animal if they get along with others! I took care of my elderly grandparents dog for many years. Walking her daily, taking her to appointments and grooming her! I understand the nerves of leaving your pet with a sitter. I will treat them just as my own, I am a very well trusted person who has a deep love for animals as I can assure you your pet is safe with me! I am a bartender and I work 4 days a week, I work short shifts anywhere from 4-6 hours! I’m available most parts of the day as I usually work nights. I will be able to stop in the morning and afternoon and then evening after my shift to look after your furry friend! If your dog loves company I have a three year old weiner dog who loves other animals! She’s extremely friendly and loves to chase! I have .5 of an acre backyard they can run around in. I walk my dog Olive twice a day every day anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hour. I can bring yours along with me! I have a very quiet and calming space with a big yard surrounded by trees! My mother lives above me in the house and I can leave my dog upstairs if they do not get along or that is not something you’re comfortable with!

“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.”

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.

“Great service. Lots of updates. Thank you!”

Arron M.

“Holly did multiple house visits with our dog. It is great to have someone reliable to come check on our pup and she has also accepted requests on short notice too. She is our go to person. Definitely recommending her.”

Caroline L.

“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!!”

“Marie is so sweet and great at communicating!! She eased all my worries leaving my little Goose home alone for the first time and sent me updates and photos every day 🐱 🥰”
