Pet Sitting in Lake Cowichan

“Kylee saved our Thanksgiving holiday by agreeing to look after our kitties on short notice. She was very communicative and followed directions perfectly!”

About: We have had pets our entire life. Now retired and travel a few months a year, so currently without a pet because of our travels. Missing the love of our own pets (Scruffy lived to 17 and Cedes lived to 16). So we have decided that the love of your pets, would be lovely and would benefit all involved. We live 2 blocks from the beach, which gives the dogs a great run and or swim permitting of course :) My wife and I are both retired and walk to the beach everyday, would be nice to have a dog to walk with us. For the evenings it would be nice to cuddle up to a dog or cat. We live on the bottom floor of a pet friendly building, with access to a yard. We do have a wrap around deck with a 2 foot brick wall/planter that is gated to large partially fenced yard. Pics attached. We both have knowledge of caring for both dogs and cats.

“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!”

“I have hired various sitters over the years for my furry family, and Alex is a pet owner's dream come true! Reliable, responsible, respectful, communicative. So great with my cat, who didn't seem affected at all that I was gone 10 days! I would definitely recommend and rebook with Alex.”

“Etienne sent updates and photos of our cats throughout their stay which was a great peace of mind. One of our cats had a minor medical event in our absence and he alerted us to it and helped where he could.”

“Kayla was amazing! great communication and a lovely caring person. My dogs loved her and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone in the area.”

“Jennifer is a thoughtful, selfless person who loves animals and everything to do with them. She loves being outdoors and finding new parks to go see. She loves snuggling and having lazy days too. She’s be a perfect Rover person as she needs something to keep her busy and this is the perfect way.”

“Kathryn took good care of my cats and they really seemed to like her based on the photos. She made it easier to leave for my trip knowing they were in good hands”

“Dorothy came for a home visit to let my dog out for a break and walk. She came early in the day to pick up keys, was on time and updated me on what happened during the visit. Very happy!”

“Courtney was great to work with - communicative, reliable and sweet with our dog. Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to friends. Thanks Courtney!”

“We are so thankful that you took care of our beloved fur child! We felt he was very well taken care of, would recommend Anna and will be using her caring services often!”

“Kelsey followed instructions well and was great with our two kitties. She cleaned up after feeding them and even sent us a photo update after each visit. Thanks again, Kelsey!”

“Tara did a drop in visit and dog walk with Haru while I was away for most of the day. She took him on a lovely walk and sent me pictures of their adventure. I came home to a very content pup. Thank you for all the amazing care Tara!”

“Great cat sitter. Good to know cats were in good hands while we were away.”

About: I grew up on a ranch in southern Alberta, caring for multiple litters of kitties and their mama’s, our 4 dogs (German shepherd, great dane, husky and an unknown breed). I’ve also cared for livestock and children, so I like to think I have a keen understanding of the delicate needs of living things! This is currently my only gig while in university! My schedule is flexible toward morning and afternoon care depending on the day, and I’m happy to work out a schedule around my classes/ extracurriculars that best suits your fur baby’s needs. I have not done any Rover pet-sitting ventures yet! (First time) But was engaged with my own animals when we had them. At least 1-2 walks per day for dogs if they can tolerate it, respect for feeding, cleaning and sleep schedules, as well as gentle redirection in any areas of discipline that may require special attention.

“She was very easy to work with, took great care of my animals, is very nice, and super talkative. Definitely highly suggest her for any of your pet care needs!”

About: I moved to Vancouver island from Salt Spring Island 4 years ago. I have 5 + years in the veterinary field industry which helps me provide care if need be to your beloved fur family member. I spend all my free time exploring the beautiful outdoors or cuddling up and watching a movie with my pups. I know the area now very well and would love to take care of your beloved doggies and show them some beautiful adventures and once we finish that, curl up on the couch and end the day with a movie and cuddles! Continuously hiking or cuddling on the couch while watching a movie, they will get lots of cuddles and lots of outdoor activities. They’ll feel very at home💜 I have two well behaved fur babies who are always looking to make new friends and give your fur babies company! They love making new friends!

“Kylee is kind, caring, patient, and has a genuine love for animals. Due to this, she is my go to for anytime I’m out of town or even just a check in when I have to work late.”

“Kate is an exceptional pet owner and caregiver. The careful attention and love she gives to her dog, Dakota, is really inspiring and lovely to experience. She has a profound appreciation for all animals, and that is seen in the way to is willing to care for her friend's pets as well. I am very happy to recommend Kate as a responsible pet caregiver and would not hesitate that she will make an amazing Rover.”
