House Sitting Lantzville

“Jaydyn was amazing. Took wonderful care of our mastiff cross and spoiled him rotten. We had zero concerns while away that our family member was taken care of and she sent pics!!”

“This was Thelma’s 2nd time with my furry babies and they have become even more comfortable around her! They are their usually selves which makes me so happy. Thelma is great at communicating how my pets are doing and leaves great updated notes at the end of her stay!”

About: I have taken care of many different dogs, including border collies, havanese and husky mixes! I grew up doing dog trials with 10-11 border collies & have house and dog sat over 5 times (1 being for over 4 months). I am open to dogsits, cat sits , dog walks and housesits as well as quick drop ins! I am very active and would love taking your dogs on walks/runs/hikes in my free time! I would love to give your cat lots of pets & love! I keep animals on their schedule and make sure to keep their life as regular as possible as if their owner has never left. I make sure to get all the needed information: medications, food schedules & exercise routines before the owner leaves.

“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!”

About: I’m professional and respect boundaries of both pets and owners. I’m happy to just chill and feel I have a good energy with animals and people alike! I’ve worked at the same financial institution for 18 years and looking to supplement income and meet some new furry pals around my shifts. Looking for possibly 2-3 days a week where I’m fully available or can incorporate more for staying over/feeding with a cat. I am respectful of all boundaries and have the utmost respect for other peoples homes and consider myself professional, timely, responsible and attentive! I value communication and respect!

“Mikhayla was super to work with to arrange a one day dog sit for our nervous and shy dog in our house in January. As we made our arrangements, Mikhayla communicated in a clear and timely way, and was punctual for the meet and greet. When the day came, Mikhayla spent the time needed to calm our nervous pup, and then they were fast friends! Mikhayla provided regular text updates and photos which we loved and reassured us that the visit was going well. We came home to a calm and happy pup, who had been well looked after with walks and playtime. We would highly recommend Mikhayla and appreciated her calm demeanor, and hope to get Mikhayla back to look after Chance in the near future.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were apprehensive at first. We sure got lucky when we found Sam! She was awesome! She is a pleasure to work with and very professional. You can tell she's a real animal person. She looked after our house and our cat Mickey for a week and everything went better than we could have hoped. You will not regret hiring Sam to look after your pet and your house if needed.”

About: I’ve always had dogs and have a lifelong love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including indoor and outdoor cats and dogs of different breeds and sizes. I also have my own dog and have done extensive training with reactivity and anxiety, giving me experience working calmly and patiently with reactive or anxious dogs. I offer house sitting and take care of everything while you’re away, treating every pet and home as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I meet with each family allowing me to create a trailered plan to meet the needs of each home. Helping to provide a stable environment for every animal! I believe it’s best for the animals to stay where they are the most comfortable. So I typically stay with them or ensure I go for multiple visits throughout the day.

“Sierra did a great job caring for our little Joey for the past week and he loved her right away. Sierra is very responsible and communicates wells. We came back to a very tidy home and a happy little dog. We will definitely call on her 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).

“Kelly was such a great sitter! She knew how to handle my sometimes tricky husky and was very patient with all the info I gave her. She did a great job! Would book again for sure.”

“Lyne was wonderful with my high-energy golden retriever. He was happy and well-cared for, and I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care.”

“Erin stayed at my house and took care of my dog and two cats for 5 or 6 days. All the animals seemed to like her immediately. She played with them and sent pictures regularly and always responded quickly to messages. The house was spic and span when we got home. The animals were happy. My dog got lots of hikes and swims. I have no complaints and happily recommend Erin. Thank you Erin!”

Emily L.

About: I have taken care of my dogs from puppies to seniors and end of life, ensuring their comfort and needs were met. I currently have two puppies, a senior black lab and a senior tuxedo cat who I take care of daily. I work part time and take care of my pets when I am home. I live with other people who also contribute to taking care of them. I have a fenced yard and pet friendly house. I live near a dog park and know lots of places to take dogs for walks.

“Paula made our anxious dog immediately comfortable. She was so good with him and we didnt worry that he was being well cared for! Highly recommend her!”

Iain W.

About: I have had pets my entire life: a German Shepard Husky growing up, and now I have a cat that I adopted from the SPCA (my second). I love pets and they love me. I also know the difficulty that comes with having to travel and leaving your pet and often your house in the care of another person. I am respectful, responsible, kind and considerate when it comes to animals and other peoples' homes. I currently am available any day for pet sitting, and am willing to stay overnight to also take care of your house and treat your pet and house with the same care that I take with my cat and my house. Unfortunately I do not have a fenced yard so cannot have pets in my house. I am happy to care for your pet in your home whether it means dropping by to feed and clean up and spend some quality time with them, or staying over night if needed if you are going on a longer trip.

About: My name is Julika and I'm a lover of cats and dogs alike! I own a sweet cat named Lulu, but am also hoping for some more puppy time in my life. I love spending time with friends' dogs. I live in Ladysmith, and am open to drop-in visits and walks in the area. I will also consider in-house pet sitting opportunities all over the island, and especially in Victoria, where I work twice a week, and Vancouver, where I love to visit. I love going on walks and hikes and would love to take your dog out with me. I live in Ladysmith and commute to Victoria twice a week for work. In addition, I also like traveling all over the island on weekends as much as I can. It's best to just send me a message and we can figure out if the date works. I can travel reasonable distances for drop on visits. Availability will depend on location and timing. I am unable to host pets in my own home, as my partner and I have a cat that is very protective of the house.

About: I have two boy cats and my soul kitty in heaven. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Huge animal lover! I’m okay with big dogs as well, I grew up with rottis and pitbulls Currently available full-time but actively looking for a full time job. Pet care fits perfectly right now as I am fully available to help out and be available when needed. I provide a calm, safe, and dependable environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of boundaries, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.

About: I grew up caring for three dogs of my own — two small breeds and one large dog — so I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for a pet’s well-being. In addition to my personal experience, I completed a canine training course where I learned how to better understand dog behavior, communication signals, and positive reinforcement techniques. I have experience helping dogs improve their obedience, learn basic commands, and even practice fun tricks using reward-based methods only. I am responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Since I have my own vehicle, I can easily commute and handle any necessary errands or emergencies. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and caring environment so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I have enough time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I am available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and from Monday to Thursday after 4:00 PM. However, I understand that every pet owner has different needs, and I am flexible whenever possible to accommodate specific schedules. I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions carefully, and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors are secure, monitor the pet closely during walks, and provide a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and responsibility.
