Cat Sitting in Ladysmith

“Our pups just love Serena! I am a worry wort mom when away and Serena makes sure she stays in touch and sends pics so I know the dogs are being well taken care of. She is an excellent communicator, kind and trustworthy. I am very glad we found her and we all look forward to her visits”

“Moira was great with our elderly cat who required twice daily medication doses over a 10 day period. She is extremely reliable and very diligent. When she had a concern, she contacted us right away. She met our cat where she was at and was very respectful of her aloofness. Thanks Moira!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the last 10 years for friends, family and word of mouth. I had a dog throughout my childhood and now love to fill my time with furry friends. I would love to walk, board or stay at your home with your pets. I have walked and looked after any age and any size of pets. I currently am working very part time so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I am available all days! I have lots of time in the mornings and afternoons to take your pets out for a long walk if that’s what they want! I have a large unfenced backyard but a large deck that is closed off. There is lots of space for your dog to explore around my yard though! And I am always with them outside so don’t worry about them. I also love to stay at your place to make your pets feel at home still.

About: I am a retired lady who loves to get out for nature walks. I adore dogs of any breed and would love them like they were my family. I’m retired so I’m able to take care of your pet Monday thru Sunday and almost any hours that work for you. Please let me know what you need. I am able to take care of your pet at your home or mine but they will need to be on a leash at my home as I don’t have a fenced area yet.

“Lindsey was wonderful! Max Mittens enjoyed her playtime, P2 hid as is his nature. Everything was as promised. I will definitely use Lindsey’s services again. Thank you, Lindsey!”

“I can't say enough about how professional and caring Shelby was during her visits with my two cats while I was away in England. It was such a relief knowing that someone who truly cares about animals was watching over my "little ones". Thank you Shelby.”

“Jillian is such a sweetheart, and my girl Roxy really seems to like her. She stayed with Roxy while my partner and I went out for dinner as Roxy has separation anxiety and Roxy was chill and slept while we were gone! Would recommend Jillian to anyone!”

About: 15 years as a cat owner, dog training experience, and medication skills. Can provide personalized, stress-free care with constant updates, genuine affection, and attention to routine. Will make sure pets feel safe, happy, and truly at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m fully available on weekdays for walks, visits, and sitting, and I can provide attentive care before or after my 7–3 weekend shifts. I will care for pets in their home by keeping routines consistent - feeding, walks, playtime, and litter care. All while providing companionship and keeping the space clean. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Katy was super caring for our dog and cat while we were away. They were lonely and she took care to make sure they got extra pets and attention.”

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: Hello! Are you going away and worried about your dog missing their walks, treats and belly rubs? I've got you covered! I offer calm, reliable, and loving dog care-whether that means daily walks or cozy house sitting and keeping your fur baby company. My focus is keeping your pets safe, happy and on their routines whilst treating them like family. I am happy to feed, provide fresh water and meds if required. Your furry friend/friends will receive lots of attention, snuggles and playtime. I have had dogs for most of my life and have experience with puppies, seniors, high watt energy and shy souls. I'm patient and take my time to establish trust and comfort with your animal(s). Think of me as your pet's stand in human while you're away. I'm always happy to keep their tails wagging, paws moving and your mind at ease. I currently have an on call position at my job, so I have a very open schedule allowing for stayovers, walks and drop ins. My schedule is listed open all week, I just need a little bit of notice in advance. When I am with your dog/dogs, cat etc I will feed and water them, and if required give basic medications. This will be adhered to in a timely manner as discussed for your pet's needs. If you have a yard and would prefer to have them be exercised there we can play ball, or if preferred your furries can be walked. When inside, that's you and your dog's space and will be treated with utmost respect.

“Kelly was terrific and took very good care of our kitties. She went above and beyond when our power went out while we were away. She also kept in touch with us during the entire duration so we knew everything was good at home.”

“Kira was absolutely wonderful with my little girl Lucy. This was my first time using Rovers services with Kira for an extended period of time over the holidays. I was able to rest easy knowing Kira was there everyday at the same time spending quality time with her. Kira sent photos of Lucy daily keeping me updated on her well being and while sitting and playing with her. I came home to a very happy and well taken care of kitty. Lucy bonded so well with Kira! Kira was extraordinarily professional at all times throughout her time taking care of Lucy and I will absolutely consult with her again in the future.”

About: Your fur baby will enjoy plenty of exercise as we love hiking, running, and playing! I am dedicated to keeping your doggo happy, active, and so loved while you are away 💕 Caring for pets is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand that pets need routine and structure, and I ensure that they are well-cared for while their owners are away. I make sure to feed them on the schedule they are accustomed to, provide them with plenty of water, and give them regular exercise and playtime to keep them physically and mentally healthy. I also prioritize daily check-ins to track any potential signs of illness or discomfort and provide them with any needed attention. As a professional pet sitter, I maintain clear communication with pet owners, keeping them regularly informed about their pet's well-being through updates and photos. I make sure to adjust my schedule as necessary based on the needs of the pets in my care to provide them with the best possible care. When I take on the responsibility of a pet, I make sure they are given ample time, attention, and care, just like they are one of my own. I offer both in-home pet sitting services as well as caring for pets in my own home. Regardless of location, I provide a comfortable and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and secure. In my home, I have a designated space for pets that is cozy and stress-free, with ample space for exploring and playing. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to familiarize myself with the pet's daily routine to ensure minimal disruption to their lives. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding feeding, medication, and exercise requirements, and provide additional playtime and attention to ensure that the pets feel loved and happy. I also ensure that their living space is clean, orderly, and hygienic, with fresh water and food available at all times. I keep spaces free from potential safety hazards, including cords, small objects, and any toxic substances. I am always considerate of any behavioral or medical needs that a pet may have, and can offer extra care and support if required. Overall, I prioritize the comfort, happiness, and safety of pets in my care, and work hard to provide them with the same love and attention that they receive from their owners.
