House Sitting Hilliers

“Janean was great. Harper is a large mature dog who does not take to people easily. After 1 visit, when Janean came into the house, Harper sat beside her and leaned into her. High praise indeed! She kept the dogs calm and happy, sent lots of photos and updates, made a positive impression on our landlords and left the house clean and tidy on our return. This was a 2 week pretty sitting job and I would be comfortable having her stay longer.”

“Erin stayed at my house and took care of my dog and two cats for 5 or 6 days. All the animals seemed to like her immediately. She played with them and sent pictures regularly and always responded quickly to messages. The house was spic and span when we got home. The animals were happy. My dog got lots of hikes and swims. I have no complaints and happily recommend Erin. Thank you Erin!”

About: I have previously lived with 4 large dogs! And loved every minute of it. During this time I helped raise two puppies and took all 4 for frequent walks. I am available on Saturday and Sunday full time. Otherwise for week days I am available from the morning until 4 pm as I work evenings. I am an expert at building relationships with other peoples dogs! I love to play with them, take for walks or even just cuddle with them on the sofa I am also willing to do whatever necessary to keep them safe

“At first we were nervous to let someone we don't know stay at our home, but Kylee arranged to meet us a few days earlier to introduce herself, which put all of the uncertainty aside. She is friendly, courteous, and I had no doubt she would take good care of Josie, Jenny and Thandi...and of course our home. To look after 3 dogs, one still a pup, is a tall order, but Kylee was a real trooper and did an amazing job! She communicated well and kept up us up to speed with how they were doing during our trip. Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy. We will certainly make use of your services again :-)”

“Kim has been such an excellent sitter for our puppy! She is very responsive and went above and beyond in caring for him. Would definitely recommend booking with her.”

“Anna was great with our furry and feathered family. She communicated early and made sure to ask important questions so we felt very comfortable leaving our 2 frenchies in her care. She gave them lots of attention and walks and they seemed relaxed and happy when we got home. The house was tidy and everything was very well cared for. We hope to have Anna back!”

“Danielle did a great job of caring for my two dogs and cat. She fed them etc exactly how I asked her too. She also left our home like we left it, clean sheets, garbage empty etc. We will definitely be asking Danielle next time we need a pet sitter”

About: I have cared for pets for many years, from dogs and cats to fish, and I truly love being around animals. I’m an attentive person, and I’m willing to give your pet everything I have. I would love to take the time to understand your pet’s personality and routine. I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, as well as send you regular updates! I currently work from home, so I’m home all day and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can promise that your pet will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have a relatively spacious home right by the lake, which gives pets a comfortable and peaceful environment to stay in. I will make sure to follow any instructions you give in order to keep your pet and myself safe.

“Sarah was very communicative and considerate with the needs of our dogs. She was also really accommodating when it came to meeting us beforehand a couple of times (both to make sure she was comfortable and the dogs). She left our apartment in the same condition in which we left it, the dogs were calm and comfortable upon our return. We are so grateful to Sarah for taking amazing care of our Dogs, and would absolutely have her stay with us again! Thank you!!!”

“Lyne took great care of our young adult golden retriever while we were away for 10 days. This dog has some quirks and can be a handful, but Lyne took it all in stride and assured me everything would be fine. Communication was excellent both before and during our trip, and we returned to a beautifully clean home. I was surprised to see that our garden looked better than when we left, despite the hot and dry weather. I wholeheartedly recommend Lyne for her pet-sitting services and would absolutely trust her with our pets again.”

Kimberley D.

“Great service provided. Plenty of photos throughout the stay. Happy cats, guinea pigs and a spotless house upon arriving home. Would highly recommend ”

Claire D.

“Paula made our anxious dog immediately comfortable. She was so good with him and we didnt worry that he was being well cared for! Highly recommend her!”

About: My name is Julika and I'm a lover of cats and dogs alike! I own a sweet cat named Lulu, but am also hoping for some more puppy time in my life. I love spending time with friends' dogs. I live in Ladysmith, and am open to drop-in visits and walks in the area. I will also consider in-house pet sitting opportunities all over the island, and especially in Victoria, where I work twice a week, and Vancouver, where I love to visit. I love going on walks and hikes and would love to take your dog out with me. I live in Ladysmith and commute to Victoria twice a week for work. In addition, I also like traveling all over the island on weekends as much as I can. It's best to just send me a message and we can figure out if the date works. I can travel reasonable distances for drop on visits. Availability will depend on location and timing. I am unable to host pets in my own home, as my partner and I have a cat that is very protective of the house.

About: I have almost always had a pet throughout my life. Cats mainly but in more recent years I have been caring for both dogs and cats both through private house sitting (friends & family) and through the Trusted Housesitters app (Happy to share my reviews from there). I work remotely so I am often in the home a lot so that animals will get a lot of attention! Lots of cuddles and play time! I am very active so I love taking dogs for walks and hikes (depending on what the dog likes and is able to do). I am not super strong though, so I will say that if you have a large dog that isn't leash trained please don't request me (I've had an incident with a larger dog that wasn't great on leash and I just wasn't strong enough to control her). As a previous long time pet owner I know how tough it can be to put trust in another person to love your animals as much as you do. I like to ensure I'm giving the pet as much attention, love and care as their owners would. And also provide reassurance and lots of updates to the pet owners while they are away. I am self employed and work remotely so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate pet care. If I am house sitting, the pets get extra attention as I can give them attention while working and on my breaks. :) I travel and house sit full time so I am only able to take care of your pet at your home. When I am not traveling I generally am in the Comox Valley but I have a vehicle so I'm able to pet sit around Vancouver Island. I will take great care of your pets, home, and plants if needed! You'll return home to a nice clean home.

About: *NOTE* For Reviews of Past Pet care * Please look through all of my photos. I specialize in in-home care for cats and small dogs, offering a calm, respectful presence so your pet can remain comfortable in their own environment. I bring extensive house and pet sitting experience. My experience includes extended stays, maintaining household routines, and providing dependable care while homeowners travel. Having owned four homes and cared for my own pets over the years, I understand firsthand the importance of treating both pets and property with genuine care and responsibility. I have a natural affinity for cats, including those who are shy, anxious, or slow to warm. I understand feline boundaries and build trust quietly and patiently. I also welcome small and senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace, consistent routines, and attentive companionship. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications and pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. What sets me apart is maturity, reliability, and discretion. I treat your home with care and integrity, and I'm happy to tend to plants and general household upkeep while you're away. I provide thoughtful updates so you can travel with peace of mind. My approach is simple: calm energy, careful attention, and a genuinely peaceful experience for both pets and their people. *NOTE* For Reviews of Past Pet care * Please look through all of my photos. Pet care is an intentional part of my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care, companionship, feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment while maintaining each pet's familiar schedule. I offer overnight house sitting and scheduled drop-in visits, limiting the number of pets I care for at a time to ensure each receives calm, individualized attention. My flexible routine accommodates vacations, extended travel, and occasional care needs. I prioritize consistency, medication schedules, and a peaceful environment. I'm particularly well suited to cats, small dogs, and senior pets who appreciate gentle companionship, predictable routines, and thoughtful care. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind. Having owned four homes myself, I understand the importance of treating your home and belongings with genuine respect and care, ensuring everything remains secure, clean, and orderly. I carefully follow your pet's established routines and any specific care instructions, paying close attention to behaviour, appetite, and overall well-being. I provide a daily update with photos so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications, maintaining clean litter boxes, providing fresh water, and offering gentle play or affectionate companionship when welcomed. My calm, consistent approach helps pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. Above all, I aim to create an environment where your pet can relax and thrive while you're away, and you can travel knowing your home and companions are in attentive, trustworthy hands.
