Pet Sitting Merville

“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.”

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.

About: I have a lifelong passion for canine care, with extensive experience managing dogs of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me with their beloved pets. Currently, I am a proud dog mom to two 14-year-old Chihuahuas—one a grateful rescue and the other raised from puppyhood. This senior care journey has given me specialized expertise in meeting the unique needs of small breeds. I currently work full-time, but I have plenty of time to walk or care for your furbabies after 5 pm on weekdays or during the weekends. My senior Chihuahua is a grumpy old man, but I would be happy to walk your fur baby around the neighbourhood or play in your yard.

“Alexia was awesome with Luna. Would recommend and will book her again.”

“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!!”

About: I am a life long pet owner and lover! I am newly retired now and have decided my hobby would be pet sitting! My pet sitting experience (1 year so far) has taught me to able able to adapt to all types of doggie personalities as well as being comfortable to give meds when needed. I speak dog and cat extremely well! :-). I am healthy and love getting out for walks and enjoy play time with cats of all types. Interacting and doing things together with animals is the very best way to bond with them and it's just plain FUN! I am flexible and able to accommodate most schedules with notice. I am an early riser and have my own vehicle and that seems to work for walks and outings! At this time I am not able to take pets into my own home due to not having a fully fenced yard. This is something I may consider in the future.

“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 have professional, hands-on experience working in dog daycares and kennels, where I cared for multiple dogs at a time in both structured and play-based environments. I have experience providing dog sitting services, caring for dogs in home settings while maintaining their routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. I’m confident handling dogs of various sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I prioritize safety, calm leadership, and clear communication to help every dog feel secure, exercised, and happy. I work full time during the week, but I’m available to provide pet care after 4:00 PM on weekdays. I have open availability on weekends, which allows me to offer flexible and attentive care for all your dog’s needs, including walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and sitting. I care for pets in their own homes by sticking closely to their routines and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I respect each client’s home, follow instructions carefully, and provide attentive, reliable care.

About: I started taking care of dogs when I was 12, helping with walks and training for my own dog in Italy, where I’m from. Being around dogs has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I also dog sat for friends and family, caring for different breeds and keeping up with their usual routines. After moving to Canada, I felt like something was missing and that’s when I decided to get my own dog here. That experience taught me even more about responsibility and the joy of having a dog in your life. I’m comfortable with daily walks, basic training, feeding schedules, and making sure each dog feels relaxed and well cared for. I’m responsible, easygoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I have a very flexible work schedule and am available for walks every day from 4 to 8 PM, as well as early morning and lunchtime walks. I also have more time on weekends, making it easy to fit in longer walks or extra playtime. I’m very respectful of each owner’s training style and home rules. At my place, I have a 2-year-old, 15-pound Havapoo who loves to play and will happily keep your pup company.

About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I will be your dog's best friend whether it's for a daily or weekly walk or a weekend sleepover. I have raised two dogs from 8 weeks old that are impeccably obedient. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with medical or dietary restrictions, small and big. I am here to cater to their favorite activities whether it be walking swimming or trail walks we are up for it all. I am a free lance bookkeeper and accountant that works from home. My day is scheduled around my animals and yours. Depending on the day I incorporate multiple dog walks and outdoor time throughout the day. I care for pets as if they are my own by maintaining all obedience rules of the family first. If obedience or crate training isn't a priority of yours then I can help to provide good habits that your pet can take home with them.

About: With 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I have a genuine love for animals and understand just how much they mean to their families. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your furry friend loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I always do my best to make them feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, because I know they’re not just pets, they’re family! ❤️🐾 Working from home allows me to be fully present for pets’ needs throughout the day - feeding, walks, playtime, and comfort whenever they need it! I prefer house sitting at the client’s home so pets remain comfortable in their own environment. Keeping their normal routine, sleeping spots, and feeding schedule reduces stress. I also send regular photo updates so owners always have peace of mind!

As I divide my time between these locations throughout the year, I welcome both one-time and recurring bookings whenever I'm in your area. 🐾 Personalized Care for Every Pet As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every animal has a unique personality, from playful and social to shy, independent, anxious or sensitive. I take the time to understand your pet's individual needs, routines and personality, creating a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and secure in their own familiar surroundings. My experience includes: 🐶 Puppies requiring patience, consistency and routine reinforcement. 🐕 Adult and senior pets with individual exercise, mobility or comfort needs. 💊 Pets requiring medication administration or additional physical assistance. 🤍 Anxious, fearful or reactive pets who benefit from a calm, patient approach and time to build trust. My observant nature allows me to recognize subtle changes in behaviour, appetite and energy. I'll keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. 🏡 Your Home Is in Caring Hands I understand the trust involved in leaving both your beloved pets and your home in someone else's care. I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach to every booking, maintaining your pet's established routines while treating your home with the same consideration I would my own. For overnight stays, I travel fully equipped with my own portable bed, bedding, towels and cooler. This allows me to settle in comfortably while minimizing disruption and keeping your home tidy. 🌿 Additional Care Needs Every pet deserves care suited to their individual needs. My Puppy/Enhanced Care Rate also applies to pets requiring additional time, attention or specialized care, regardless of age. This may include: 🐾 Puppies requiring frequent potty breaks, training reinforcement or close supervision. 🐾 Senior pets needing additional mobility assistance, frequent outings or more involved care routines. 🐾 Special-needs pets requiring medication, mobility support or individualized attention. 🐾 Anxious, fearful or reactive pets requiring additional supervision and a gradual, patient approach. A pet's age alone does not determine whether enhanced care is necessary. We'll discuss their individual requirements before confirming your booking. Please note: Pets requiring continuous supervision or those who cannot comfortably be left alone may require an individualized care arrangement and rate. 🗓️ Extended Stays — 10+ Nights I welcome extended house and pet-sitting bookings and offer a preferred nightly rate for qualifying stays of 10 nights or longer. Please note the following conditions: The extended-stay rate applies to regular overnight care only.
