House Sitting Metchosin

“We have used several dog sitters from Rover and have always been pleased. Michelle is no exception. We had a sudden opportunity to go away for the weekend and our usual people were booked. We were delighted that Michelle was available and we are very grateful to her now that the weekend is over. She did a great job meeting the needs of our four different pets and their different personalities. She was also housesitting. The house was immaculate, and she had made every effort to water the plants, tidy up and generally welcome us home. She has a very winning personality– sees things positively and iseager to help and care for our pets. We would have her back in an instant and highly recommend her!”

“Kaitlyn is a wonderful cat sitter. She was on time, communicative, kind, clean, and spent tons of time taking care of my cat. Besides being all that, she’s clearly an amazing animal person. She did an amazing job and was perfect from start to finish, going above and beyond what I asked. Thank you so much Kaitlyn.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me since I was a kid, and I’ve owned my own dogs since 2020. I’ve taken positive reinforcement puppy training courses as well as reactivity specific lessons, so I’m comfortable reading early warning signs in anxious or reactive dogs and know how to de-escalate rather than just react. I’m also experienced handling big, strong dogs confidently and safely on leash. Before having my own, I dog sat regularly for friends, so I’ve got a solid range of temperaments and routines under my belt. I work from home running my own business, which means I’m around during the day most weekdays and have flexible availability for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I can work around specific feeding or walk times rather than squeezing visits into a rigid window. While house sitting, I treat your home like a guest would; respecting your space, sticking to your pet’s normal routine, and keeping things exactly as I found them. For drop-ins and walks, I’m attentive to leash safety, comfortable handling multiple pets, and quick to notice if something seems off with appetite, energy, or behavior. I’m also comfortable with reptile care basics like enclosure checks and feeding schedules, if that’s ever relevant

About: I have not owned a cat in many years but always enjoy their company. Even the most unsocial cats seek out affection and attention for me. I have been involved with farming and farm sitting since I was a child. I work a couple of part time jobs in healthcare. My schedule for meeting with clients is flexible and can easily be worked around pet care commitments. I have walking trails and a fenced dog park in my neighbourhood. I have a spacious home and areas of my home can be closed off in order to assure a safe environment when I am not able to be around to observe the pets in my care directly.

“We were nervous to leave our 4 month old puppy for the evening, but Tommy asked lots of detailed questions and sent us regular pictures and updates that reassured us she was in good hands :). Would recommend Tommy.”

About: About Hilda & Greg: We are two active, highly responsible professionals who own our unit in Victoria, BC. We have traveled extensively, lived and worked in Asia and Australia, and we understand that a break is important, but so is the absolute peace of mind that comes with knowing your companions and home are safe while you are away. We care for young to senior pets who require stable routines. With our professional backgrounds in education, we bring an exceptional level of organization, reliability, and clear communication to every booking. Because we operate as a dedicated husband-and-wife team, your pets receive twice the attention, companionship, and supervision. We are a 'small footprint' couple who are non-smokers, tidy, and deeply respectful of your space and boundaries. We love nature, walks, cooking, and reading. We will give your pets lots of love, cuddles, and structured exercise—at their direction, of course! We send regular photo updates and look forward to welcoming your furry family members into our care. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. We don't have any pets ourselves and we operate as a dedicated husband-and-wife team. Greg is retired, with exceptional daytime flexibility and consistent companionship. Our days naturally center around being active outdoors, enjoying urban and nature walks, and maintaining a structured, reliable environment. Whether we are house sitting full-time or providing daytime check-ins, we structure our schedules around your pet's specific feeding, exercise, and medication routines to ensure they are never left alone for long periods.

About: I got my dog Luca in 2017 as a puppy. We learned & grew together and have a loving and trusting relationship. Our favorite activities are to adventure & explore the outdoors together or to play and cuddle at home. I work mostly from home and have therefore lots of time to look after and play with your dog. I also only have my dog part-time (~2 months on/off), and am therefore excited to take care of your dog while mine is away or to have a friend around for our dogs to socialize. I live alone with my dog (part-time) in a house in beautiful Gordon Head, Victoria with a nice deck and large back yard (only partially fenced). Your dog would be allowed to roam the house freely or can be crated, depending on your preference. We can use the yard for little outings (on leash) or explore near by Mt Doug if larger hikes are desired.

“Melanie jumped and helped us out with a very last minute request and our doggo was super happy with her company. She also sent just the right amount of updates. Would def ask for her help again.”

Sarah-Jane N.

“Absolutely amazing and was with our 2 big dogs for 15 days. Great communication and took good care of the house. Will definitely ask her to come back.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked with horses for five years and have spent the last three years working with and around dogs. I also raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, who is now a government-certified service dog. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine through walks, enrichment, training, and personalized care. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and giving every pet individual attention. I provide attentive, personalized care in every home. With parks, trails, and Beacon Hill nearby, pets enjoy safe walks, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection.

About: I currently work part-time, which gives me great availability! I'm free full-time 3 days a week and available every evening for the rest of the week. ​I like to take my time with every animal to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I offer in-home visits and house sitting at your location, as I have cats of my own and prefer not to host other pets in my home. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility! I am available all day 3 days a week, as well as every evening on the remaining days. This allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time and focused care to your pet. I take a patient, gentle, and unhurried approach with every animal. Because I have cats at home, I exclusively provide care directly at your place. This keeps your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring a calm, safe, and stress-free routine.

About: I truly believe our pets aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I know how vulnerable it can feel to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and that’s exactly why I decided to offer pet care services. My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, attention, love, and respect I expect for my own. I’m a proud pet parent myself. I have a Shiba Inu whom I personally trained, so I have firsthand experience with an intelligent, independent, strong-willed breed that requires patience, consistency, and an understanding of individual boundaries and personality. I also have a senior cat who requires extra attention and special care, which has given me a deep appreciation for the needs of older pets. I understand that every animal is different - some need lots of exercise and stimulation, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, reassurance, or simply someone who understands their routine. When you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a well-deserved vacation, you should be able to relax knowing your furry babies are safe, comfortable, loved, and properly cared for. I want you to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering, “Are they okay?” 🏡 Flexible & Dependable - Including House Sitting I am a reputable, knowledgeable real estate agent and property manager, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate different routines and, whenever my schedule permits, last-minute bookings as well. My professional background also means I understand the responsibility and trust involved when someone gives me access to their home. I will always treat your home, privacy, belongings, and pets with care and respect. While I’m caring for your furry family members, my partner looks after our own pets. This gives me the flexibility to offer house sitting and overnight pet care without having to rush home to mine. ❤️ Why I Do This Caring for others is simply a big part of who I am. I genuinely love animals, and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to combine two things that bring me happiness: helping people and caring for animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, cuddles, a consistent routine, patient senior care, or simply a loving person nearby while you're gone, I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and secure. 📍I’m based in Langford and have a vehicle, so I’m happy to travel throughout the region, including North Saanich, Sooke, Mill Bay, and surrounding communities. Your pets deserve someone who understands that, to you, they aren't just animals waiting at home. They’re your babies. They’re family. And while they’re in my care, I’ll treat them that way. 🐾❤️ As a real estate agent and property manager, I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My partner cares for our pets while I’m away, allowing me to offer overnight and house sitting as well. I’m based in Langford and can travel from North Saanich to Sooke and Mill Bay. I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, walks, medications, and any special instructions you have. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Eva - a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all personalities, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I spent time volunteering in a large dog shelter in Morocco, helping care for over 500 dogs. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group walks safely, and give every dog individual attention and care. Over the last three years, I’ve also cared for a spirited puppies, senior dog and everything in between during regular pet-sitting stays, and I was also the proud owner of my own dog for 14 wonderful years — so I know what it means to love and look after a pet like family. Whether your dog needs a calm and steady walker, a safe and comfortable boarding experience, or a caring sitter while you’re away, I provide reliable, professional care with plenty of affection and clear communication. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first — and of course, there will be walks, playtime, and updates along the way! 🐕💛 Caring for animals is something I build my days around. I have lots of flexibility in my schedule, so I can easily plan my time around each pet’s needs — from long walks and feeding times to relaxed hangouts at home. I love being outdoors and active, so spending my days with dogs fits perfectly into my lifestyle. When I’m house sitting, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, keeping things calm and familiar. I’m very tidy and respectful of each home I stay in, treating it with the same care I’d give my own space. My goal is for your pets to feel happy and relaxed — and for you to return to a clean home and a content companion.

“Stephanie is the best! As a pet parent, leaving your pets with someone can be nerve-wracking. When I met Stephanie I was instantly put as ease! She’s super attentive, sends many photos, and I can tell my dogs have a great time with her :) I would 10/10 recommend!!”
