Cat Sitting Merville

About: I have had a dog my entire life, most recently my boy Tas who I had for 11 great years. I love animals and will treat them with care and respect. I work a set schedule and look after pets on my days off. I have my own space with no other animals. They will be alone for minimal time in my care. I have a fenced yard, one small dog lives upstairs, who is very friendly. We have a forested area with trails where I will walk your pup.

“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”

“Marie was so helpful and great with our cat! Our cat is very shy with new people normally, but she went up to Marie right away and was very comfortable with her. She responded very quickly and was flexible with meet up times, highly recommend :)”

About: Over the past several years, I have looked after home and petals for family and friends, caring for daily routines and walks to overnight stays. I'm currently completely my masters and working part time. Recently moved back to the Comox Valley. My time currently is pretty flexible. Excited to help. Happy to take your dog for a walk, or looked after your house and pets while you are away. Excited to work with you and your pets.

“Madison was a lifesaver when I was in a pinch! Tuna is pretty easygoing, but I'm so grateful she stepped in while I was out of town for 30 hours. Even without an in-person meeting, she visited twice, kept me well-informed, and made everything seamless. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much for the care and attention of Niah! Amazing communication and attention to Niah, my cat! Would have Nicole back to care for Niah in a heartbeat! 💜”

About: My family has owned pets all my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea and bunnies of all different ages, and am capable of ensuring they have everything they needed, including medication if required. I love animals and enjoy meeting new ones and getting to know them. While I work full time, I will be available in the mornings and at lunch for quick check-ins (15 or so minutes) and can do longer visits in the evenings to take dog(s) out for walks or just cuddle with your pets as needed. When visiting a client's home i will ensure to be respectful of their home, while also giving their pets all the care required. Pets will be visited as often as the client requests and receive all the care and attention needed.

“My girl Teaka had a great time with Bailey. You could tell when i picked her up how they interacted together & she gave him kisses before we left. I had a full day of errands around Abbotsford / Chilliwack and coming far out of town it was difficult for me to syncronize everything but Bailey was so accomodating & it made my day much smoother. I would happily leave Teaka with Bailey again.”

About: I’ve had pets all through out my life. I am very accommodating and have the most patience when it comes to animals. I love training, and am very familiar with the puppy phase, i’m a pro at midnight potty breaks. If your pet has any routines or weird quirks they enjoy, I love to provide! I currently volunteer at a local shelter and am starting a part time position in April, so I am very available right now, and will be flexible working around my schedule when the time comes. I love positive reinforcement, I don’t believe any animal being submissive or fearful is the goal, respect goes both ways. If you work on training or certain cues I’m more then happy to incorporate them in walks or with meals.

“Anthony took great care of my cat when I was away, she is very anxious and shy but I felt confident leaving my cat with him, he even took my mail in and sent me updates and a little video to reassure me! I would definitively book Anthony again!!”

“We are so glad to have found Fiona. She came by for a meet and greet with our rabbits and was keen to learn about them and make sure she understands how to care for them. We really appreciate her diligence and attention to detail.”

“Holly did multiple house visits with our dog. It is great to have someone reliable to come check on our pup and she has also accepted requests on short notice too. She is our go to person. Definitely recommending her.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years through friends, family, and word of mouth. I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around animals, so I'm overly happy to fill my time with some furry friends! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and sizes and would love to help with walks, boarding, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs a little extra exercise, some company while you’re away, or someone to stay in your home with them, I’d be happy to help I’m currently off work for the summer, so I have plenty of extra time to spend caring for your pets! I love hiking and exploring the outdoors, so if your furry friend is up for an adventure, I’d be happy to bring them along. If they prefer a relaxed walk around the neighbourhood, that’s just as welcome! I’m happy to adjust my days and activities to whatever your pet enjoys most. My goal is to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and, most importantly, feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I have a large, unfenced backyard with a spacious, fully enclosed deck, giving your dog plenty of room to explore and enjoy some outdoor time. I’m always outside with them, so they’ll have plenty of supervision and company. I’m also more than happy to stay at your home if that’s what works best for you and your pets. I know some animals are happiest in their own familiar space, and I’d love to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away!

“Carissa took great care of our shy girls! They warmed up to her quickly and seemed to have a lot of fun. It's obvious Carissa has a real affinity for cats; we'd happily have her look after our cats again. The cute pictures and detailed updates were an added bonus!”

About: I got my family dog at the age of 6 and had her for 15 years. I trained her myself. I miss her every day. I can't have a dog in the apartment that I am renting now. I have 2 cats that I love with all my heart. I've tried walking them but they are uninterested in it, we just wander and sit around on leash instead. With the colder and darker months approaching, I'd like to spend more time outside and the best way for me to do that would be with a dog! I work from home from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday. My schedule is pretty flexible. As long as there is wifi, I can work from there. Otherwise I am available on my lunch break or after work. While walking your dog, I will do my due diligence in keeping them tied up, cleaning up after them and making sure we cross roads safely. My phone time would be limited (unless taking photos of them). I will treat your dog how I would want someone to treat my cats (lots of love, patience and care).
