“Jennifer is absolutely amazing and most definitely a cat whisperer! Our dear cat is very nervous and shy but Jennifer had her feeling so safe and comfortable. Jennifer was able to offer such generous care and updates to us, navigate our cat's medication and made sure she was safe during a heat wave! Above all Jennifer is simply a kind and thoughtful person and we are very grateful to have had her to look after our cat. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I’ve always loved pets and have raised a couple puppies as well. I will be your pets new best friend! Im currently working part time so I will have lots of time to check in on your pets. I’m available most days in the morning and evening. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I closely follow each owner’s instructions, keep doors and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!
“Jamie took excellent care of our cat while our family was away. She looked after everything we needed, had great communication so we knew what was going on each day, and sent lovely photos and videos of our very happy cat. We'd definitely ask Jamie to help us again in the future.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.
About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, and I approach pet sitting with the same attentiveness and responsibility I would want for my own pets. I was a devoted dog owner for 14 years to my beloved beagle, caring for her through every stage of life — from daily exercise and enrichment to senior care and comfort. That experience shaped my understanding of how important patience, consistency, and emotional awareness are when looking after animals. I’m experienced with small dogs and cats and comfortable managing feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and independent. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets can stick to their routines and feel at ease. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I treat every home with respect and care. I work primarily from home on my laptop, so my schedule is flexible and I’m generally present for much of the day. This allows me to maintain your pet’s usual feeding, medication, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines while providing regular companionship. I do leave the home for errands, appointments, personal activities, and occasionally other scheduled pet-care visits. Before accepting a booking, I’ll confirm how long your pet can comfortably be left alone to ensure their needs are compatible with my schedule. My days are typically calm and structured, making my care especially suitable for pets that enjoy a relaxed environment and consistent routine. While I’m happy to accommodate reasonable care requirements, pets needing continuous supervision or who cannot be left alone should be discussed before booking. I provide house sitting in your pet’s own home, where they can remain comfortable in familiar surroundings. I work from home, so I’m generally present and attentive throughout the day while still coming and going for errands and appointments. For overnight stays, I require a clean, sanitary, and reasonably tidy home with a comfortable sleeping space prepared before my arrival. This includes freshly laundered bed linens, clean towels, and access to a clean bathroom and functional kitchen. Essential utilities and appliances must be working, and doors, windows, fences, and gates must be secure. Housekeeping or preparing the home for my stay is not included in the pet-sitting service. Please disclose any household concerns, maintenance issues, indoor cameras, or areas that are off-limits before the booking. I also require an honest and complete description of each pet’s health, temperament, routines, training, and behaviour. Pets should be reasonably clean, and the home must be free from fleas, bedbugs, or other infestations. Any history of aggression, biting, resource guarding, escape behaviour, separation anxiety, or indoor accidents must be disclosed before I accept the booking. Clear care instructions, emergency contacts, adequate food and supplies, and current veterinary information must be provided. My goal is to give your pets calm, consistent care while treating your home responsibly and respectfully.
“Highly recommend! Thank you both so very much!! You are kind, professional, and wonderful dog caregivers. I knew you both would have given him so much love and attention during our absence. Our pup was very happy when we came home. He was well cared for and very much appreciated the excellent communication and pictures throughout the care. We are looking forward to seeing you both again!”
About: Experienced cat, dog and snake sitter!

Anna Maria is a true gem. I have been travelling more than usual for work lately and needed someone to provide a solid anchor for my two cats when I was away. I couldn't be happier. My cats are not only happy, but they are healthy as well i.e. not streased. Also, my home is cared for so that when I return, I don't have to immediately launch into a deep clean.
Kirstin is amazing!! She is fantastic with my babies and they are always well taken care of. She always goes over and above, I would 1000% recommend her to take care of your babies, if you want someone to care for them in the same way you would! I can't recommend her enough.

She did drop-in visits for my two nervous cats while I was away, and she completely won them over — which is no easy feat. From her calm, caring energy to her thoughtful updates and photos, I always felt reassured knowing my cats were in such good hands. It was clear she took the time to understand their personalities and make them feel safe and loved. I came home to two happy, relaxed cats. I would absolutely recommend Karin to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. She’s truly amazing at what she does!
