About: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. For services at your home, I strictly follow your pet's regular routine, ensure your property is completely secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets for friends and neighbors. I bring a calm, attentive energy to every visit and take pride in creating a safe, positive experience for each animal. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walks in throughout the day. I’m typically available on weekdays, with some evening and weekend availability as well. I do my best to accommodate your dog’s routine and keep things consistent for them. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety and comfort. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I’m mindful in clients’ homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and respectful while creating a calm, loving environment for each pet.

“Sarah continues to care for our senior Airedale, Zeiss, regularly and so thoughtfully. We know he is looked after so well when we’re gone for long hours! Sarah always sends lots of pictures about their time together too, which is a nice bonus!”

About: My experience over the years with dogs has been with a variety of different breeds, ages and behaviors. I volunteered fostering dogs at the Victoria Humane Society in 2022 where I gained a lot of experience with different temperaments and ages/mixed breeds. The highlight of my experience was working for Island Miniature Schnauzers outside of Sooke in 2016 for 8 months. My duties were: Home Life training for adopted puppies. This provided the new owners one week of me training the puppy at my home. This included walking on leash for the first time, crate training, schedule for house training, socializing with other dogs and people to name a few.. I provided video and pictures to the new owners to keep them up to date on progress. I also took older Shnauzers who were used to farm life and adapted them to urban life by going on leashed walks, greeting new dogs and people. I also learned to groom puppies and older dogs as well. You can see in all my photo's with the Schnauzer puppies and dogs that I trained while working for IMS. Over the years I have taken care of friends/family dogs and cats at their home. I treat all animals like my very own. I massage them, comfort them them and just love them up! I have a nice sized backyard that is fully fenced for play. There are many trails, beaches and lakes that we go on each day. Depending on your dogs level of care, adjusting the cost is a flexibility I offer. I am retired and am home most of the day while caring for your pet. We walk once or 2x a day and I have a nice sized backyard. Games and training time are incorporated into our day. I aim to make it as balanced and fun as possible. I offer 2 walks a day. There are many places to walk close to my home & the galloping goose trail is behind my gate. My backyard is a good size for running and zoomies. Naps and downtime are a must for a happy healthy dog. The dogs sleep with me unless they need to be in a crate.

“This was my second time booking with Chantelle, and once again everything was fantastic! She took wonderful care of the boys, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. It's such a relief knowing they're in such caring and reliable hands. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

“My cats were well loved and cared for. Lion and Gabe took to Tayor right away. Taylor was punctual, responded quickly to messages and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Taylor as a petsitter!”

About: I truly believe our pets aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I know how vulnerable it can feel to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and that’s exactly why I decided to offer pet care services. My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, attention, love, and respect I expect for my own. I’m a proud pet parent myself. I have a Shiba Inu whom I personally trained, so I have firsthand experience with an intelligent, independent, strong-willed breed that requires patience, consistency, and an understanding of individual boundaries and personality. I also have a senior cat who requires extra attention and special care, which has given me a deep appreciation for the needs of older pets. I understand that every animal is different - some need lots of exercise and stimulation, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, reassurance, or simply someone who understands their routine. When you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a well-deserved vacation, you should be able to relax knowing your furry babies are safe, comfortable, loved, and properly cared for. I want you to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering, “Are they okay?” 🏡 Flexible & Dependable - Including House Sitting I am a reputable, knowledgeable real estate agent and property manager, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate different routines and, whenever my schedule permits, last-minute bookings as well. My professional background also means I understand the responsibility and trust involved when someone gives me access to their home. I will always treat your home, privacy, belongings, and pets with care and respect. While I’m caring for your furry family members, my partner looks after our own pets. This gives me the flexibility to offer house sitting and overnight pet care without having to rush home to mine. ❤️ Why I Do This Caring for others is simply a big part of who I am. I genuinely love animals, and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to combine two things that bring me happiness: helping people and caring for animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, cuddles, a consistent routine, patient senior care, or simply a loving person nearby while you're gone, I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and secure. 📍I’m based in Langford and have a vehicle, so I’m happy to travel throughout the region, including North Saanich, Sooke, Mill Bay, and surrounding communities. Your pets deserve someone who understands that, to you, they aren't just animals waiting at home. They’re your babies. They’re family. And while they’re in my care, I’ll treat them that way. 🐾❤️ As a real estate agent and property manager, I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My partner cares for our pets while I’m away, allowing me to offer overnight and house sitting as well. I’m based in Langford and can travel from North Saanich to Sooke and Mill Bay.

I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: I adopted my cat Bruma when I was 18. She’s sweet, independent, and has taught me the importance of respecting each pet’s unique personality and boundaries. Years later, I welcomed Nala, a very well-behaved husky. I personally trained her to be calm, quiet, and to give her paw and do high fives — it’s been a joyful and rewarding journey. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently live with both Bruma and Nala, so I understand the dynamics of multi-pet households and how to meet individual needs with love and attention. Whether your pet thrives on affection, structure, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I just wanted to clarify that my husband is not assisting me with pet care during any service periods. I am the only person responsible for the pets in my care, and there will be no transfer of custody, care, or control to anyone else. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I start and end each day spending quality time with my own pets, which includes feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I organize my schedule to make sure I can give each animal the attention they need, whether it is a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening cuddle session. I also have the support of my husband when he is not working, which allows us to provide even more care and love to the pets we look after. Taking care of animals is not something I just fit into my day; it is part of how I live my life every day. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home. At home, we maintain a calm and pet-friendly environment with secure spaces where animals can relax, play, or enjoy quiet time depending on their needs. Our cat and dog are both friendly and well-behaved, and we always make sure any new pet feels welcome and safe. If I am caring for a pet in their own home, I closely follow the owner's routines and instructions to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for the animal. I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to build trust with each pet and provide them with loving and attentive care in a safe environment.
