Dog Walking Metchosin

About: I am a huge animal lover and have assisted in the care of my family's two high-energy dogs for over half my life! I have also been trusted by family friends to provide care for their cats. I currently attend university three days a week, having classes end 2:30 at the latest. My courseload is light leaving me lots of time to spend with your pets. I will treat your pets and home as if they are my own. On top of providing care for your furry friends, I am happy to water plants and perform and other household tasks.

About: I have been looking after dogs (and many other animals including cats and horses) for 15+ years as favours to friends and family, so I have a massive love for all furry creatures! I have grown up with dogs and can detect body language changes, and know how to defuse situations if they do escalate. I have worked with dogs who are other-dog reactive, and know how to cater our walks to suit their needs without additional stress. Whether you are looking to have you pup join Atlas and I at our enclosed acreage, or would like me to simply drop in to visit and break up your pup's day with a play in the yard, I'm happy to do it all. Currently on a very open schedule due to the nature of casual work, and am looking to continue building up my experience here on Rover! :) I am a casually employed person, so have multiple weeks of time off in which I can dedicate to pet-sitting! Whether you're looking for just a few days, or something more extended, I can accommodate both needs. I have a fully enclosed rural acreage with automatic button-controlled gates, and reinforced wiring along the bottom two panels of fencing. We live on a quiet street with a few school children that commute in the morning/afternoon, but otherwise, not very busy. A lovely, safe, interesting space for them to explore and enjoy.

“Dawn was incredible. She walked Daisy, my elderly mother’s dog- last minute. She was understanding and trusting with the situation. 💛🌻”

“Tommy was excellent. Sensitive, caring, and very responsible. He noticed that I had forgotten a bowl of water and put some out even when there was a friend coming to see my dog that evening. Great communicator and wonderful with my dog. I will definitely use Tommy's services again!”

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 have at least 10 years of experience with dogs, I have had all kinds of animals growing up and currently have one dog. I have dog walked, dog sat, and watched overnight for my family, friends, as well as friends of friends and family friends. I get along very well with most animals and love to be around them. I know their needs and what they can and cannot have. I am currently working 4 days a week , so I can do week days and weekends depending on day, mostly at anytime but we will always have a chat before hand. Also if you are needing/wanting a day that’s not on my availability just send me a message and I can double check my schedule and see if I can make time for you. My schedule on the app is sometimes not accurate as my schedule changes often with my job so just send me a message with whatever day you were looking for I cannot have pets over at my home due to my own pet but I am more then happy to look after your pets at your home and I can take care of any needs that your pet requires

About: I have spent most of my childhood into early 20s rescuing dogs and either rehoming or keeping them for their full life span. I can care for your dog like they are my own! I love getting outside any chance I can get and typically work my regular job in the evenings so this provides a great morning routine for dogs whos owners typically work early mornings and through the day. I care for pets by using positive reinforcement when learning new skills and providing lots of attention and time outside so they do not develop bad behaviours in the home or in public.

“Emily was amazing! Communication was easy! Pickup was super smooth and Ace was very happy! Would 100% recommend!”

“Very dependable, trust worthy and my dog loopks forward to seeing her as she adapts to my older dogs comfort and needs. I will be booking with her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 3 indoor cats and caring for my grandparents German Shepherds. I fostered many dogs and cats with my roommates in University, and worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 2+ years. I’ve rescued a senior dog from the SPCA (who since passed) and now have a 3.5yr Rottweiler. My schedule is extremely flexible and I can make myself available at anytime needed to provide care for your pets. A typical day with my dog consists morning potty, breakfast, long walk, indoor mental play time, supper, outside potty and more play time. It’s not uncommon to go for off-leash walks in a park. Another activity we enjoy is mental enrichment - either a mind game with treats or frozen kong. I have a condo in Westhills. There are many parks and trails nearby. I also have a SUV I use to take the dogs on adventures to the beach, hikes, etc. As for care in your home; I like to maintain whatever schedule you have!

“Deanna walked our Siberian Husky daily while I was away and we couldn’t be happier how it went. Deanna sent me updates and photos. was on-time for every walk and communication was great. But what seals the deal is our dog would stare out the window in anticipation of Deanna’s arrival and did so the day after I got home expecting her to show up. She our doggy was also a big fan of hers. Highly recommend Deanna.”

About: Hello! My name is Emily and I am an animal lover living in beautiful Sooke. I've lived in Greater Victoria for most of my life and grew up with cats and dogs. I own two black cats, and live with four of them in total! While my experience is mostly with cats and dogs, I like (almost) all animals, except for arachnids. I am comfortable doing basic grooming (brushing, nail trims) on both cats and dogs as well as driving pets for appointments or adventures. I am available for walks, drop in visits, overnight care in your home, and more. Rates are flexible and I am also open to trades for goods or services. My schedule is currently fairly open. On Wednesdays I take my grandmother out to do her errands. I currently have three dogs in my walk rotation that I take out a couple days a week. Pets are one of my favourite parts of life. My cats are what get me out of bed most mornings, and not just because they are screaming for breakfast!

About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for about 3 years now, and I also worked at Pet Valu for 2 years, which taught me a lot about dog nutrition, health, and behaviour. I got really comfortable understanding different temperaments, keeping playtime safe, and knowing what different dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds! puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, and the more shy or anxious ones too. I make sure every dog gets attention, affection, and a routine they’re comfortable with. I like to keep things fun, calm, and stress free, and I always treat pets like my own while they’re with me. I offer daily updates (with cute photos), exercise and enrichment, walks, feeding, cuddles, and just making sure your dog feels loved and secure while you’re away! I currently work part-time, which means I have lots of extra time and flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, enrichment, and just spending time with your dog so they feel safe and loved! Whether your pet needs extra attention, playtime, or calm companionship I’m able to fit it into my routine easily! I provide attentive, loving care for pets in their own home, keeping their routines and environment consistent. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have access to fresh water, and get the attention, playtime, and exercise they need. I maintain a safe environment by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring for any hazards, and following all specific instructions from the owner. I also keep the home clean and comfortable, and provide updates to owners so they can have peace of mind while away.

“Montana is amazing! I'm so glad to have found her through this app. She has looked after my rescue rottweiler with so much kindness and patience! Would absolutely recommend and can't thank her enough!”
