House Sitting in Ladysmith

“Michelle was fantastic with our dogs, 1 senior and 1 high-energy. Great communication and never doubted her care, will definitely be reaching out again when we need an animal person to help watch our dogs!”

“Anna Maria was the first home pet sitter we ever used, was always in a kennel or with family but too old now. Our Rottweiler can be pretty set in his ways and when mama goes away it’s not good but he went right to Anna Maria, cuddled and layed at her feet. We will definitely use Anna Maria again”

About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.

“Nicole took such great care of our pups while we had a trip to the mainland. She sent us the cutest updates, took them out for some great active time and snuggled them for us. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were cared for and we could just enjoy ourselves. She left our home in spotless condition and was so sweet and communicative. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Absolutely thrilled with the care and attention our 2 Springer Spaniels received! Serena exceeded all our expectations as a dog and house sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a genuine love for animals and a professional, responsible demeanor. Our dogs were well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection. Serena kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. The house was spotless when we returned, and it was clear that they treated our home with the utmost respect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our Springer Spaniels seemed happy and healthy, and we could tell they had bonded with Serena. We highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip! So appreciate her and all she did to support our family ❤️”

“Kylee took good care of my dog Cheecha and followed the instructions I left for her. She was easy to communicate with, sent daily pictures and told me when my dog was showing signs of an upset tummy. When I got back home, the house was in the same clean condition I left it in. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you Kylee!”

“Jimena was absolutely amazing with Taika! I kept getting regular updates and videos/photos that really put my mind at ease while I was away. So happy with her service and will definitely be booking her again when needed!”

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: 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.

“Thank you Kathryn for your understanding today and helping fulfill the needs for Daisy. She clearly trusted you right away and your consistent communication allowed me to enjoy my day away :)”

“Jillian took care of our two pups, in our home for four days. She provided frequent updates, pics and videos while we were away. She worked well with our youngest who is not great warming up to new people. We arrived home tons nice clean home and two happy pups!”

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.

“I needed someone to hang out with my pup just during the day while visiting from Vancouver for a course. Tyler very kindly hung out with her at my airbnb, sent plenty of updates and made sure she was calm and relaxed and followed my care instructions.”

Katie B.

“I asked the dogs: Salsa - "Many stars! Many walks! Much fun! Cookies? Things! WHEEEEE!" Mister Bird - "All good. Got some bounces in there, hung out a lot, cruised the neighbourhood. Worked out great!" Salsa - "WHEEEEE! Cookies?" We will happily hire Shannon again.”

“Ann was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Pepper. Right from the start we noticed her calm and inviting energy and felt that our beloved girl was in good hands. She was extremely communicative, provided lots of updates and pictures, and even washed our bedsheets at the end of her stay. We could tell just how much she enjoyed being with Pepper and never got the sense that she treated it like a chore. If we can, we would love to have her watch our dog again!”

Samantha W.

“Amber is absolutely wonderful. Our boy was so well taken care of. She took him on hikes and made sure he was given his medication on time and kept him on his routine! Will forsure be asking her again to take care of our Hades.”

Hannah W.

“Thank you again Tara for taking such good care of Sydney. After her first meeting with you she was excited to see you each time. That says it all! And thanks also for leaving everything clean and tidy <3”

About: Since I was a child, I learnt how to be responsible by taking care of several animals, including: dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots and the list go on, well I had like a zoo at home and also I walked, fed other neighbours dogs. I really enjoy spending time with them, playing around. Animals transmit peace and they make you forget about stress. I have gained experience through these years. I have taken care of several breeds and sizes, senior dogs, cats, dogs with ear and oral medications, etc. If your furry friend is high energy, I can provide good daily exercise and play their favorite games, going to Trails and more! My dog loves playing with other dogs and sharing his toys, he loves to say hi to everyone. I usually go for long walks, parks with lakes, hiking. Your dog will never be alone or bored. I will always give the attention that they deserve and the best experience that makes them feel at home. *Rates: Dog Boarding rate: Pick-up times for dog boarding services will be until 08:30 PM.

I have a big fenced backyard for your dogs to have a good time, always keeping my eyes on them and playing cool games.

“Kelly took the most amazing care of our fur babies while we were out of town! Sent photo updates and took special care of our high maintenance pets. Will definitely be using her again!”

Beth R.

“We were super happy with our experience with Brenden and Brooke. Right off the bat, we could tell how much love they have for dogs. It immediately gave us peace of mind, and we truly felt safe leaving our girl in their care. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was a great fit beforehand. We met with them a couple of times prior to booking, practiced walks together, and showed them around the house. That preparation made everything feel easy and seamless when it came time for us to leave. They followed our pet care guidelines to a T and kept us updated daily with photos, which meant so much to us. It’s imperative to my husband and me that we find people we completely trust with our Rottweiler, and they were absolutely wonderful with her. They took the time to really understand her behavior and made her feel comfortable. On top of that, they left our home in great condition. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would book with them again anytime. Highly recommend!”
