“This was my first time leaving Cedar with a sitter, he came back very happy! I received lots of photos and videos of his stay, which gave me reinsurance and made me feel comfortable :) Yuet was very easy to communicate with and flexible with timing!”

“Dorothy was a great sitter for our high-energy lab! Great communication and a lovely person. Would not hesitate to have her watch our beloved pup again :)”

Lyssa M.

“Lily loved spending the day with Rebecca and her two pups! Rebecca asked all the questions and sent me updates through the day and was super flexible with my booking. I would book with Rebecca again!”

Ellie K.

“Joanne was excellent with our pretty active border collie/lab Lucy. Our first meeting inspired trust and confidence that we were leaving our family member in good hands, and Joanne clearly displays the compassion and understanding anyone would want to see in the person taking care of their dog. Lucy came back to us tired from all the fun she had, and anytime we need dog-sitting in the Nanaimo area we know where to take her. Thanks Joanne!”

Mel C.

“Thanks Sharon for taking excellent care of Robear! I appreciated all the updates and photos, made me feel at ease while away on vacation. Thanks again!”

“Rune and Ralphy are the best of friends. Montana and Stephen took the best care of Ralphy and make him feel so at home. Best dog sitters ever❤️”

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.

“Jaydyn was awesome, so warm and friendly and did a great job of sending pics and updates. She was also very flexible and accommodating as we had some uncertainty in our drop off and pick up times. Our dog came back happy and healthy. Thanks so much Jaydyn! 😁”

“Coraline & Valentin were great watching our dog for a quick day trip! We appreciate their responsiveness, willingness to do a meet and greet and taking care of our pup.”

“I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter for my sweet Ellie. Tyler was very communicative and trustworthy from the very beginning, and bonded with Ellie right away. He sent updates and photos very regularly, and was incredibly responsive to Ellie’s needs and personality. He even taught her a new trick! I had no doubt that she was happy and comfortable and very well cared for the entire time I was away. I will definitely be asking Tyler to dog-sit again !”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I’ve always loved pets and have raised a couple puppies as well. I will be your pets new best friend! Im currently working part time so I will have lots of time to check in on your pets. I’m available most days in the morning and evening. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I closely follow each owner’s instructions, keep doors and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!

About: I have been actively petsitting for 2 years and looking after pets is my true passion! I offer overnight petsitting in your home where your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings while you’re away :) My overnight stays generally start late afternoon or evening-to-morning, meaning I typically arrive between 3 - 6 pm and stay overnight until the morning of the last petsit day. My overnight pet sitting care is live-in, which means I will stay in your home, resume my normal schedule with the goal of keeping to your pet’s regular routine as much as possible. • I am generally away for approximately 4-8 hours depending on my schedule, working at my job. So this service is best suited for pets who are comfortable during the day/used to working pawrents!🐾 • For in my home boarding/petsitting, I can accept 1 dog at a time and they must be friendly with other dog & cats. I have a fenced yard + parks and trails nearby! • If this sounds like a good fit for you, feel welcome to reach out! 🐾❤️ During the day, I am either doing check ins or working at my job. I am always around in the evenings & overnight when I’m doing in your home petsitting. Whether it’s multiple daytime check ins, or an overnight petsit, I’ll treat your pets like family, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’d be honored to be part of their routine and help give you peace of mind when you’re away. 🐾

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.

“Marcel took my dog Molly for the day while I was at a meeting and she was instantly comfortable with them and their pup. I was in from out of town and had to make a quick decision and I am so glad I found this option for my dog Molly 🐾 If we’re back this way I will be sure to contact you again!”

About: I am a flexible pet sitter who will prioritize your pets needs whether it's a snuggle, an adventure, medications, or continued training. I have experience with pets of all sizes and with reactive dogs (even larger sized ones). I have always loved all animals and had a beloved family dog growing up. I have since become a go to sitter for many of my friends and a pet aunt for most of them. I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would provide to my own animal while simultaneously respecting the rules and routines you have set out for your pet. If your request for care falls outside of my normal calendar/service offerings, please still contact me as I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule depending on client needs. I have the ability to work remotely 3days/week and can normally adjust my work schedule to ensure your comfort with how much time I'm spending with your pet in your absence. Pet care is customized to the pet, their owner, and the needs. I am willing to stay at your home if you require additional house sitting, but reside in a very pet friendly building if you would like your pet to meet some new neighbourhood friends. I like to meet prior to your departure to walk through the space, meet your pet, and cover any details that I may require (normal schedules, special needs, emergency contacts, vet details, etc).

“We are very happy with Paula and the way she looked after Benji for the week we were away. Benji got along very well with Paula and her dog. We will certainly use her boarding service again in the future. Thank you Paula.”
