Pet Sitting Metchosin

“Lixia was a perfect sitter for my older cat Emily, she was attentive with the instructions I gave her on giving Emily her medication and followed through perfectly on feeding and giving Emily her medicine. I am so thankful to have booked lixia for my week away and wouldnt hesitate to book her again!”

“Our cat is healthy, happy, and cheerful. Kaitlyn is kind, communicative, and amazing with our elderly and medicine requiring cat. We’re repeating clients of Kaitlyn and don’t intend to stop.”

“This was my second time booking with Chantelle, and once again everything was fantastic! She took wonderful care of the boys, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. It's such a relief knowing they're in such caring and reliable hands. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had dogs in my life since day 1 and previously ran my own dog grooming/daycare and boarding business out of my home. I have since switched careers but my love of dogs never left! My home has 1 small, blind, old dog, 1 playful and well mannered lab, dog-savvy cats and chickens outside, so there is plenty to keep your pup busy and entertained. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a large fully fenced yard close to parks and beaches. *We do have stairs in our house, and to the backyard* Our new fur friends are welcome to join us on outings if allowed. I am also home quite a bit throughout the day so it is unlikely they will ever be alone longer than a few hours at a time. There are also 2 animal loving, respectful children in the home so although I am patient, experienced and able to deal with a variety of issues, all dogs must be non-aggressive/reactive and great around kids. If this seems like a good fit I'd love to discuss with you more! I work from home quite a bit and also spend a lot of time outdoors in the yard or on walks/hikes so pets in the home get a lot of attention (if wanted) and outdoor time. I try to keep feeding and walk schedules as consistent as possible so pets feel at home. If they prefer to be crated at night we can do that, or they can sleep anywhere they please. My goal is to keep things familiar so they settle in quickly.

About: Lover of all animals. Throughout my life, I’ve owned and helped care for dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, and even reptiles! I grew up with dogs, have dog sat for family and friends throughout my teens, and have provided casual care for friends’ dogs in my adult life. Though I haven’t had the space for a dog of my own yet, I hope to adopt someday. In the meantime, I figured pet sitting would be the next best thing! As for cats, I have cared for my own the past 9 years. I love cats just as much as dogs while understanding the behavioural differences between the two. I live in the West Shore, but commute downtown a couple of times a week for work, allowing me flexibility for drop ins and walks whether you’re in the West Shore yourself or downtown. On the weekends, my availability is very flexible and I am typically able to provide even full time care on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I have a calm and patient demeanor and always take the time to help make pets feel more comfortable. I understand how stressful it can be for pets to be separated from their people and want to provide as inclusive and stress-free of an environment possible for them while providing the utmost attentive care for their needs.

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.

About: I am a young professional who loves the outdoors. I spend most of my time being very active outside. I enjoy hiking, running or long walks on the beach in all types of weather! I have always loved dogs and have spent many years being around them and caring for them. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters and guinea pigs, mice, frogs etc. I often volunteer to take friend's and familie's dogs for walks in my spare time or pet sit over longer periods of time. I genuinely enjoy the company and energy that dogs bring. I have a life long ambition to care for animals who have been neglected or poorly treated. Apart from being active, I also enjoy downtime/ snuggle time with older/less energetic animals. I have a gentle touch and a lot of love to share for 4 legged friends, no matter the size or temperament! I am currently taking the Summer off so my schedule is wide open for all your furry friend's needs! Please feel free to reach out regarding any availability questions/concerns. I have a large property (a dogs paradise!) but I am also happy to go on as many or as little dog walks/fetch dates as needed for whatever length is best suited for your dog. I have lots of experience with anxious animals or unsocialized pets so therefore I am confident I can keep your fur baby safe.

“Our dog Lola really enjoyed her walk with Shelene! Lola seemed very happy afterwards, and we received a detailed summary note & photos from the visit. We look forward to booking with Shelene again!”

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.

“Sally was a great cat sitter--she responded to my messages quickly, was very accommodating, super friendly, and always sent pictures of my cat Beatrice. :) I would definitely recommend Sally for any pet sitting needs!”

“Catherine was a great cat sitter! Met for a meet and greet before her check-in with our cat Toro and she was so friendly and nice. Took good care of our house and cat 😊”

About: * A little note and update. Unfortunately my mom passed away last year and I have moved to Langford BC for a new beginning. So to any previous clients from Burlington that I haven’t spoken to before my move - I’m unfortunately no longer living there. It was a pleasure to work with you ! Everything else below holds true. Please read my profile carefully before booking to make sure I’m a good fit for your dog. I have over 18 years experience caring for animals. I’m an intuitive energy ( Reiki Master ) healer which allows me to connect and understand your dog’s needs at a deeper level. If your dog is nervous or afraid of new people and/ or surroundings, i’m able to calm them with a little energy treatment. I also have many years of teaching and practicing first aid under my belt, as well as 11years of caring for my first dog Charlie. Over all, I have a tremendous love and understanding of animals, which I believe makes me a great choice for caring for your beloved fur babies. I know how incredibly precious they are to you, and will ensure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own. I am writing a film, doing pack walks and running my energy healing business from home - which allows me a flexible schedule to give your animals the care they need. For overnight / daycare : we live in a coach house in Langford BC - a close drive to Royal Oak Beach. It’s such a beautiful, safe neighbourhood to explore and go for walks. Sooke Hills Wilderness Park is just 3mins away. Note there is a set of stairs leading up to my living space so for those dogs that can’t do stairs I might not be a good fit. I am available to sit at your home though if it’s easier. I’m currently working from home writing my film. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time for play and walks. Your pet is always my first priority though and I will customize my days around their schedule and care. Dogs are always leashed and well cared for when out for walks. I don’t have a yard or anywhere they can escape from. Their safety will always be my first priority.

“Montana did a great job with out cats. She kept us well informed about their wellbeing and followed all of our instructions. She helped us feel reassured that we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away.”

“This was a very positive experience. Bryce was very loving and intuitive with my dog and I would highly recommend him for your pet. Thanks so much Bryce...I will def have you spend time with my dog again...”

“Madison did a great job looking after our cat while we were away! She took so many great photos and administered his insulin. We couldn't ask for a better pet sitter 😊”

About: Hi! I am someone who is very passionate about caring for animals. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats, and loved so much to spend time with them, and would love to get to know your furry friends aswell! I’m working part time, and would love to spend my spare time with animals. I promise that as your pet sitter I will put your pets needs and well being ahead of anything else! I love dogs and cats, and have experience caring for larger breeds as well as dogs who are reactive. Thank you very much ! Work from 3:30-8:30pm Monday - Thursday and Saturday mornings. Outside of those listed times where I am at work I am free to be with your pet. :) This is dependant on the animal I am taking care of. If it is a more energetic breed, I will be sure to take it on longer walks as many times as needed, and won’t leave them home alone for long periods of time if it can be avoided. For less energetic breeds i will try to gauge how much exersice/attention they need and give them the appropriate amount.

“Kassie was very nice and responsive. Our cat has happy and healthy as normal and I'm sure that she did a great job dropping in on him while we were out of town camping. Would totally call again for future kitty care. Thanks Kassie!”
