About: I have loved having fur family in my life for 35 years. We shared our love with many cats over the years, 3 brothers when we couldn’t separate the brothers when we went to rescue a cat from the SPCA,… and have been blessed to enjoy 16 wonderful years sharing our love with our beloved Lucy, a yellow lab that loved long walks at Bonniebrook daily. We now enjoy sharing our love with a Mexican rescue who is now 7. As an artist I have also shared my passion and love for animals through my art, creating memory works for many friends, family and others. I will be the sole caretaker of your pet and look forward to getting to know your fur family and bringing them joy when you are not around to do so. I’m currently semi retired and only working sporadic work and mostly work from home so I’m free to share my time with your loved fur family As our current dog is a rescue with high anxiety, I would avoid bringing dogs into our home as it would create unneeded stress on our dog. I love to sit with them closely but understand that some animals need their own space.
“My cat was healthy and happy when I returned from my trip - in fact, I think he missed Allison. Allison was thoughtful and reliable, and helped with some small but important things around the house as well. Great job!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience and have looked after dogs and cats of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable with energetic dogs who need regular exercise as well as older pets who prefer a slower pace. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, basic grooming, administering medication when needed, and providing calm companionship. I am attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work flexibly and spend much of my time at home, which allows me to prioritize walks, check ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my schedule around pets’ needs, whether that means regular daytime visits, longer walks, or overnight care. I am reliable, punctual, and comfortable adjusting my routine to suit each animal. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible, following routines and instructions closely to help them feel secure and settled. I am attentive on walks, mindful of leash safety, and aware of surroundings at all times. I keep homes clean, secure, and calm, and make sure pets are comfortable and never rushed. Clear communication and respect for both pets and their homes are very important to me.
“Can’t say enough good things about Cass. She was so good with our 2 cats. She was so consistent in her visits and clean and respectful of our home. We came back to well fed and happy cats. Would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: I love animals and feel having a dog/cat lover is best care for your pet. To stay in their own home where it’s their domain Lots of playtime and walks. I had pets but prefer not to now as I enjoy the freedom of travel, but feel fulfilled caring for animals. Pets need attention and love when their owners go away it’s best they still feel that love and attention. I’m at stage in my life I have time for caring for pets. I have retired and moved to the coast and am available to come to your home to look after them in an environment they know. I administer medicine and keep the home tidy as your away Ive done several house sitting jobs for a week with larger dogs and would be happy to be with your pet while you are away. We can discuss your needs and happily accommodate your fur baby I am retired and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you let care needs would be. I love you be outdoors and on hikes in nature with the pets I respect personal homes of my clients and follow requests for any care for pets thoroughly. I like to frequently communicate while owner is away with pics and updates of their pet
“Christina was excellent with our two cats. I would get an update of the visit every time she came. Everything was done every visit as instructed. She is very friendly and approachable and would recommend her for anyones pet sitting needs.”
About: Animals mean the world to me. I grew up with Pure Breed Bouvier dogs, Persian and Himalayan cats. I was no "stranger" to cleaning dog runs, bathing, brushing and combing their fur. As well as, assisting with their oral hygiene. I truly feel in my heart that all animals need love, compassion, companionship, guidance, comfort, and assistance. They are our family!! Whenever you look into an animal's eyes you can see deep within their soul and spirit. It's an incredible and amazing feeling. Animals, give us their complete vulnerability and as pet owners/family, we are supposed to: * Protect, nourish, and love them*. I am here to: "take away" your worries, your stress, and your anxiety! I am professional and compassionate. I am here for you and your "Furbabes". Thank You Natalie
About: Hi! I’m Morgan. I’ve been fortunate enough to have the privilege to grown up on Vancouver Island, surround myself in nature on a daily basis and reach peaks with views that leave you in Awe. I’m a nurse at the hospital, some days are harder then others but I’m looking for a new type of work to throw into the mix that makes me feel good, animal therapy! I believe it’s called. I’m responsible, friendly, respectful and reliable. :) I’d be more then happy to take your precious fur baby off your hands for an afternoon or a night and take it hiking, to the beach or on a stroll around the neighbourhood. I need some fluffy cuddles in my life these days. :) I have a flexible work schedule at the hospital and when I’m not working, I’m out on the trails running or walking! Having a pet to spend time with would fit into my schedule well I’ve had many pets over for sleepovers and have also stayed at friends places or people in need a pet sitter and I love it. Being apart of their routine, feeding, movement, cuddles. I love it all.
