Pet Sitting in Duncan

About: I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of many dogs for friends and family while they are away. I raised my first dog (In my adult life) from a puppy, right through to his end of life. I also have cared for our current dog who we adopted, so I have had exposure with dogs that are experiencing re homing and adoption senarios. I love walking dogs and believe strongly that an active dog is a happy dog! I am currently looking to change careers to dog walking and sitting and am very flexible with schedule. I am available for walks from 7am-3:30pm weekdays and can be open to weekend walks as well. For in home sitting I am available weekdays and weekends after 6pm for over night stays. I am very flexible for check ins and supplementary visits/ walks during overnight stays. All walks and visits can be curated to most schedule needs with enough notice and communication. I take all the measures to care for your pets in the same loving secure way that I can for my own pets. I require all dogs to be leash walked until a safe trust has been created between all parties involved. Obviously all safety concerns of the client as to the care of their pet will be followed to the best of my ability and instruction.

About: I have had the pleasure of owning two black labs over the last 45 years. Love to hike and like the company of a dog to come along. I am now retired. Looking for reasons to go for a walk. Would love to look after a dog to keep me company and give me some company during the day. I have a fenced yard. Have always kept my dog on a leash when walking. Dog hair in the house isn’t an issue. Lots of attention given

“It was a last minute booking. Shane was so accommodating, came right over to meet Roman and showed up the next day as promised. I was stuck and it was such a relief!!”

“Erin was a fantastic cat sitter! She was responsive and thoughtful and reliable. Erin followed our instructions and we felt confident our cat was taken care of. She was the first cat sitter our cat had met and Erin quickly built trust with her even though she was initially tentative. Erin went the extra mile and happily came to pickup/drop off house keys. I’d absolutely recommend Erin for your pet sitting needs.”

“Danielle has stayed at my house and watched my pets a few times. She is friendly and reliable and neat and tidy, and I have zero complaints. I know my animals are happy and well cared for while I’m away. She is my first choice when I go anywhere to watch my pets. Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and currently have two family dogs, a 9-year-old Border Collie x Coonhound and a 7-year-old Boston Terrier, both full of energy! I grew up around many animals and often would pet sit for friends and family. I love spending time outdoors and exploring new trails, and when I lived in Pemberton, I’d take my dogs on 7am hikes and often picked up neighborhood dogs to join us. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels, and I make sure to give each pet the care and attention they need. I truly love all animals and look forward to meeting you and your pet/s! I’m a full-time student at Camosun College, but my schedule is very flexible since my classes are spread out and only run Monday–Thursday. I’m usually out of my apartment for no more than 2 hours a day, so I have plenty of time to board animals, give them attention, and make sure their needs are met. Caring for pets also gives me the perfect reason to spend more time outdoors! I live in an apartment, but the complex has lots of open yard space for play and exercise. My favorite way to spend time with dogs is going on walks and hikes, and I’m happy to drive to nearby trails to make sure they get the activity they need. I’m very responsible and always follow any routines, rules, or training you have in place for your pet so they feel comfortable and secure. At home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles, and I make sure they’re never left alone for long. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’ll treat your pets like family and give them the care they deserve.

About: Pets have always been a large part of my life. Growing up my family had a cat and a dog and I became a huge animal lover. I now share that love with my family and my kids. We have two large dogs at home and a bunch of chickens. We are excited to be able to offer care to your pets. Our homeschooling lifestyle offers lots of opportunity and flexibility to be able to build care for your pets into our daily routine and adventures. We are happy to come and meet you and your pets and make sure that we are a good fit for your family. We look forward to working with you and getting by to know and love your pets too! We are available during the week as we are home full time and our days are very flexible aside from a couple of standing appointments. We come to your home and can provide company and playtime with your pets. Do you need someone to feed and water them? Take them for a walk? Or just play and spend some time with them? We are happy to make time in our day to help you meet your pets needs from the comfort of their own home.

“This was my first time using a pet sitting service and Lauren was an excellent introduction. She and my cat Pigeon became fast friends. Lauren provided me with daily updates on how Pigeon was doing, which was wonderful and put my mind at ease. Lauren was professional, kind and my cat loved her! I will certainly book her again in the future.”

“Breanne was absolutely wonderful and truly went above and beyond for our cats. She took such great care of them, and it was clear she really paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Knowing Breanne was coming by every day was such a comfort during a stressful time for us. The photos and updates were a highlight and gave us real peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We would 100% book Braenne again and highly recommend her, especially for anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.”

“Sabrina was a delight! She caught on quickly to our dogs’ ‘quirky’ personalities and made connections that made them ( and us!) very comfortable having her in our home. She is very professional and we won’t hesitate to have her back - Miki and Riggins are looking forward to it.”

About: Hey all you Pet Parents! Leaving your babies with someone you don't know can be terrifying, and to be honest, I was never able to leave my baby in a daycare - So I totally know what you are feeling right now! I will make sure they know how much they are loved, and I will always send pictures and updates to put your mind at ease! Each and every fur baby is the most special, and I always make sure they know that. My name is Hanna and animals are truly my life. I have spent my entire life spending as much time as possible with ALL types of animals. For me, growing up it was Dogs and Horses... Not only was I completely obsessed - but I was also the neighbourhood dog walker/babysitter. We lived in a fairly safe area, and most people would let their dogs have free roam. That being said, if they ever couldn't find their dogs, they were usually hanging out with 5 year old me, in my yard, or my bed. I began volunteering part time in barns and stables at the age of 7 years old. Every weekend I was taking care of all the barnyard animals, sheep, pregnant cats, injured ducks, birthing cows, nursing horses - you name it. During this time I also volunteered at the local SPCA, playing and brushing all the animals, and walking the dogs. As I grew older, I became the go-to in my neighbourhood whenever pets needed extra attention. I had two dogs on my street alone that needed regular medical support, and their owners weren't fully comfortable administering medication. One needed regular insulin injections, and one had part time subcutaneous pain management, that turned into full-time geriatric support I would help with. I was also the go-to when they couldn't take their babies on vacation with them, both in my parents house (Sorry Mom and Dad) and at their owners home. At the age of 13 I was on payroll with an elite Hunter/Jumper barn. I was part of a team that cared for 27 high performance show horses, with the most expensive horse in the barn being worth 1.2 million dollars (He happened to also be the best cuddler.) I stayed with this stable all through the rest of grade school until I went to Pharmacy school. Working with this team is still, to this day, the best working experience I have had in my life. Currently, I have the most wonderful Staffy mix, and he is truly my "soul dog". He is 8 years old and the biggest sweety pie ever, my Mother calls him "the marshmallow". We have recently signed up to be volunteers with St. John's, so that we can visit patients and eventually students who could use a dose of happiness. He loves other dogs, and kids, or anyone that will talk to him - and he will gladly share me with anyone we have in our home. I have both the passion, and the experience to give your babies not only the love they deserve, but also the care that they need while you are away, either at work or on vacation. If you have any questions at all, please reach out and I will get back to you as soon as possible! Take Care xo I own my own business so I am very flexible with time, and absolutely love being able to switch gears, get some fresh air with the dogs and give my brain a break! I am extremely professional and will follow your directions for how you’d like your dog (and me) to behave in the home - consistency is important! I have had multiple clients give me their keys or door codes to come and go with absolutely no concerns, I’m only there for your pets! My home has a very large fenced yard where your pet can safely explore to their hearts content. I am very comfortable with all animals, and am able to uphold any training regimens you may have (including e-collars, alternative collars etc)
