“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 visited my cat Izzy twice a day for four days over Christmas. She provided a very professional level of service, sending me her report and pictures for each visit. She went above and beyond the call of duty washing up Izzy’s dishes and place mat and even emptying our Litter Locker and positioning a new bag. Dana paid us a visit when I first booked with Rover to meet Izzy and me. She came by for a second visit the week before I left. I don’t know if Izzy found that reassuring but I sure did. Professional though she was, by the time I left I felt I was leaving my pet with a trusted friend.”
“Hannah was so wonderful with my cat, and provided detailed notes and photos each visit. She made sure to follow and confirm feeding instructions, and spent high quality time grooming and playimg with my cat. If my cat could speak I think she would say she was spoiled with loving attention from Hannah!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life, most recently my boy Tas who I had for 11 great years. I love animals and will treat them with care and respect. I work a set schedule and look after pets on my days off. I have my own space with no other animals. They will be alone for minimal time in my care. I have a fenced yard, one small dog lives upstairs, who is very friendly. We have a forested area with trails where I will walk your pup.
“Fiona did daily visits to our cat Kinder while we were away for a week. Communication was easy and she took a lot of time to cuddle with our cat and we appreciate that! Highly recommended”
“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!!”
About: Hello Pet Parents! After exploring the Island and caring for lots of pets over the last year I've settled in the Comox Valley. I do work part time -- Thursday through Saturday in Courtenay. If I'm doing an overnight with you--I can let your doggo out on my lunch break. *Offering pet care in your home, I'm not available to host pets atm. Having been without pets for quite a number of years, I am missing their presence in my life. I grew up with poodles, springer spaniels and terriers. I had two cats of my own (Ruth and Monica) for 17 yrs and loved them dearly. I live in the Comox Valley, so Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Campbell River and nearby communities work well. I love having access to nature (forest hikes and lakes and the ocean.) I'm a devoted, reliable, dedicated animal lover and I take pride in doing any project to the best of my ability. I have a care-giver background, having worked in dental health and as a yoga teacher for many years. I have a solid green-thumb and can tend to some garden care. I love building connections with people & animals. I am 'trauma-informed' and am familiar with 'Force Free' training principles. I'm comfortable with older pets and giving some meds as needed also. I really appreciate dogs with some formal training and can take care of dogs up to 70 pounds. I've recently received a refresher with chicken coop care. Let's touch base with a phone or video call first to get a sense of each other. I'm proud of my 5 star reviews on House-sitters Canada, THS and 99% of clients ask me back to sit again. I'm confident that I can provide top-notch care for your pets and plants and return your home in excellent condition. Looking forward to caring for your precious animal friends. I'm working on some entrepreneurial and writing projects AND I work part time (Thursday through Saturday in Courtenay.). If I'm doing a overnight care for you--I can pop over on my lunch break to give your dog a mid-day pee-break. I'm happy to take pups out in the morning and evening for walks, and longer hikes on the weekend too! I love to hike and explore rural and forested areas. Exercise is an essential part of each of my days and I'm happy to continue the exercise routines that you have in place for your pets :). Breaks for 'play' time are great for pets and for humans too! As a detail oriented person with a healthcare background, I understand the importance of providing the highest level of care to your pets. My reviews on Canada House Sitters & THS are consistently 5 star. I believe in the importance of leaving a place better than you found it. I've got fantastic personal & local references also. I'm happy to provide consistent, reliable and loving care with your detailed guidance and instructions. As a former health-care worker, I understand the importance of detailed, compassionate care and supporting your pets needs and regular routines.
About: Over the past several years, I have looked after home and petals for family and friends, caring for daily routines and walks to overnight stays. I'm currently completely my masters and working part time. Recently moved back to the Comox Valley. My time currently is pretty flexible. Excited to help. Happy to take your dog for a walk, or looked after your house and pets while you are away. Excited to work with you and your pets.
“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.”
About: I got my family dog at the age of 6 and had her for 15 years. I trained her myself. I miss her every day. I can't have a dog in the apartment that I am renting now. I have 2 cats that I love with all my heart. I've tried walking them but they are uninterested in it, we just wander and sit around on leash instead. With the colder and darker months approaching, I'd like to spend more time outside and the best way for me to do that would be with a dog! I work from home from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday. My schedule is pretty flexible. As long as there is wifi, I can work from there. Otherwise I am available on my lunch break or after work. While walking your dog, I will do my due diligence in keeping them tied up, cleaning up after them and making sure we cross roads safely. My phone time would be limited (unless taking photos of them). I will treat your dog how I would want someone to treat my cats (lots of love, patience and care).
About: I am a qualified, certified Animal Care Aid. I am a graduate from North Island college’s program and work in the veterinary industry. I specialize in all animal care, and know all basic veterinary treatments, medications, and first aid. Please contact me directly for dates and availability. I currently am available Monday - Friday for dog walking clients. Pet sitting - please contact me with dates. I ask my clients to provide the food, leashes and dishes for when I am caring for their animals. I will take your poochie on tons of adventures and fun!
