Pet Sitting Courtenay

“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.”

“Dana was so incredible, I have already booked her for another trip! I was so anxious about taking my first trip away from my cat. She was so transparent about everything, informative and helped me feel so much better. I ended up having an issue with my pets water receptacle which was just a huge headache just as I was leaving for my trip across the country. She was FANTASTIC! She send pictures and videos and was so communicative and accommodating. She totally set me at ease which is hard to do! THANK YOU DANA!!!”

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: 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.

“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!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bailey is AMAZING! We are so grateful to have found Bailey to care for our dog, Maugrim. From the moment we connected, Bailey’s communication was clear, thoughtful, and responsive. He came to our home twice a day and gave us regular updates, photos, and sweet little details that reassured us Maugrim was not just being looked after—but truly cared for. When we returned, Maugrim was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious he felt comfortable and safe with Bailey, and that made all the difference for us while we were away. We’d book Bailey again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything—you’re a gem! --- Shannon”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, and parrots. I love animals. I am always gentle with them and will play and pet your furry friend.

I can watch your pets in your house and take them outside in the yard. I can walk them too.

“Reliable, communicative and friendly. Thanks again!!”

About: Hello, Welcome to my profile !! I have always had pets of one type or another in my household and taken care of them for more than 15 years. I'm the one you find in the corner on the floor at a party with the dog or sitting in the street petting a puppy I've seen. I am happy to care for your furbabies while you are out and about or on vacation ! I cater to their needs so they are comfortable with me. The house is theirs, I just occupy the space 😅 For anyone with larger dogs, my husband always joins me on puppy walks, so he is more than able to walk your furbaby if you are worried about pulling etc. I am home Full-time so your baby won't need to be left unattended for any longer than it takes to run to the store if needed. I try to keep the same schedule and/rules as the parents have given me so the pets feel at home and are able to continue their routine as uninterrupted as possible.

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.

“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!”

“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!!”
