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: I have years of pet sitting experience with both cats and small and large dogs. I’m the first person my friends and family call when they need someone to watch their furry friends! I’m a Comox local & am excited to get to hang out with your furry friends! Whether your critter is small or large, or a puppy/kitten or elderly, you can trust that I’ll give them exactly the care they need. I have experience administering both oral medicine, and eye drop dropped treatment to cats. I am responsible and reliable and will always be tedious with sticking to feeding or walking schedules. I also have experience with non-potty trained puppies. Spending time with animals brings me tons of joy and I look forward to the opportunity of hanging out with your pet! 🐾❤️ I work from home & have a very flexible schedule, so I have lots of time and ability to hang out with your doggy or kitty! I live right beside a beautiful, pet-friendly park, and whether you’re here from here or out of town, trust that I can be counted on to be the perfect host for your pet in Comox while you’re away or busy. I love going for walks as well as spending time throwing a ball around or just snuggling with your pet! I also have a car so I can pick up your pets as needed and take them to lots of cool places, or just walk around your neighbourhood if you prefer!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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: 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.

“Jacqueline was an obvious and incredible choice to watch our cats over our honeymoon. The moment we met her, we felt like we could trust her and the cats would be safe while we were gone. Jacqueline was always very easy to get a hold of (even though we were travelling on the other side of the world) and made sure to let us know if she ever needed to adjust the time of day she was dropping in. We came home to 2 happy and healthy cats, thank you Jacqueline!”
