“Kimberly took really good care of my mocha for the day! I really appreciate that she agreed to watch Mocha even though it was a last minute booking. Communication was easy, drop off and pick up was too. She was very understanding of Mocha's challenges. Overall I highly recommend!”

“Andrea took my dog in last minute and freed up some days to watch her longer. I was able to bring macie to her house beforehand to see if Macie was comfortable and could trust her giving all of Macie’s medications. She also sent me photos everyday which I really appreciated !”

“Stacey is great, she took a pretty short notice booking and has a great set up, nice fully fence back yard. She is obviously experienced with dogs, Luna took to her right away and instantly went to play with some toys she had for her even brought one to show me when I picked her up. Would definitely book with Stacey again”

Teri M.

“Woody was very comfortable staying with Alanna! Alanna sent us photos and a video during the day, reporting on his activity. She had an old pug so the two old guys kept each other and Alanna company all day. Alanna was very flexible and accommodating of the day care—I recommend her totally!”

Susan C.

“Olivia was an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of Bullet and kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her puppy Adonis was the perfect companion for Bullet — they had an absolute blast together! It’s clear Olivia truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I had a large dog for 12 plus years. I love how active and different all dogs are. Their fun personality speaks volumes about each breed! I have a very flexible work day. I also work a 5 minute walk from home so it is easy to check in with pets. I'm off on weekends and early on Fridays for outdoor adventures. I have a fenced yard for day time play. I live I'm a beautiful walkable neighborhood for more adventures. There are no Pets here to make your pet feel more comfortable

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 2 yrs ago (2022) where I gained a lot of experience with different temperaments and ages/mixed breeds. When they were adopted, it broke my heart so I adopted a beagle, Copper, in 2023. 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 fenced in backyard for play. There are many trails, beaches and lakes that we go on each day. I'd like to meet first to see if Copper and I are a good fit for you and your fur baby. Please see my IG account for most of the dogs in my care starting in 2016. (copper_the_beagle_trofimuk) Depending on your dogs level of care, adjusting the cost is a flexibility I offer. 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 house & the galloping goose trail is behind my gate. My backyard is a good size for wrestling, running and playing. I am currently revamping my yard to make it more dog friendly. Naps and downtime are a must for a happy healthy dog. The dogs sleep with me unless they need to be in a crate.

About: As an interior designer, I spend my days creating spaces that feel calm, comfortable, and welcoming, and I’ve always taken the same thoughtful approach with the animals I spend time with. I’ve loved animals my whole life, and spending time with them has always brought me a genuine sense of happiness. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and veterinary clinics, as well as cared for dogs and cats for family, friends, and through referrals. I love getting outside for walks and hikes, and there’s nothing better than having a four-legged companion along for the adventure. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers a slower pace, I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I own my own interior design business and primarily work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, meeting their needs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after until you’re home again.

“Our little senior dog is anxious when away from her people or near big dogs, but she is relaxed and happy with Vera, Jorge and their golden retriever. We feel comfortable leaving our dog in their care and enjoy the updates about how her day is going.”

Roberta M.

“Stephanie was amazing and took such great care of Lola and provided me update pictures and videos throughout, I really appreciated it!”

Brooks M.

“Kirsten was so great with my baby, Koko. Communicating with her was so easy and she was very accommodating. She provided updates and pictures throughout Koko's stay. Koko had such a great time - she was completely wiped out when she got back home from having a fantastic day with Kirsten. I will definitely be using Kirsten's sitting services again.”

Kimaada B.

“Dominique is lovely. I trusted her to keep my dogs safe.”

“Shravistha and her husband were very warm and welcoming from the moment I dropped off my puppy. I explained that this was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and they were both very understanding, patient, and caring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was safe and comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. My puppy received lots of attention, affection, and excellent care. I truly appreciated the regular updates and communication. I highly recommend Shravistha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! 🐾❤️”

About: Your pup will never get bored at our house! We know that a TIRED dog is a HAPPY dog. That's why we make it a priority to exercise and stimulate our furry friends first thing, and throughout the day, every day. There is nothing more satisfying than a calm, tired dog! We are a dog loving family with two sons, ages 11 and 14, with many years of experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am a stay at home mom and Travis works from home 3 out 5 days, so your pup will never be lonely. I love the excuse to get out for early morning hikes and the opportunity to walk as a family after school and in the evenings. We have a large property with lots of space to run and play and multiple beaches, including a dog park, within walking distance. And there will be no shortage of cuddles and stimulation at our house - the kids love to play and engage with all dogs. Who knows? Your pooch may even come home with some new tricks! We are comfortable with all ages, breeds and sizes and we are confident and experienced dog handlers. We truly care about providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for every dog who stays with us. When your dog is with us, they are part of the family. When you're on vacation, they'll be on vacation too! Our family is available to care for your dog 24/7! Pup care is my main gig and I have a flexible schedule. Being home with your pup or keeping them by my side is my priority. Because we only take a maximum of 2 dogs at a time, you can leave your pup knowing they are getting highly individualized care. Please note, if our calendar is showing availability, there is a chance we have 1 other dog booked who has been pre-screened to socialize well with other dogs. Our big yard has lots of space to play, however it is not fenced so we will never leave your dog outside unattended. In our home your dog will be loved and cared for as our own and we will do everything we can to make them feel comfortable. We are happy to accommodate your dog's regular routine to help make the transition as easeful as possible. Our cat, R2D2, generally ignores dogs and spends his nights outside but if your dog has a strong prey drive or tendency to chase cats, they might not be the best fit.
