Cat Sitting Mill Bay

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life and have many years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler pace. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and each dog’s individual personality so they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I treat every pet with the same patience and kindness I would want for my own. I am available to take care of pets all through the week and I find it enjoyable to take care of and walk dogs, if the dog is having fun I find it very rewarding. When in a client's home I treat it as my own, I try and maintain the schedule the pet is used to and make sure that they have a lot of hands on play and entertainment to keep them happy and active.

“Highly recommend! Thank you both so very much!! You are kind, professional, and wonderful dog caregivers. I knew you both would have given him so much love and attention during our absence. Our pup was very happy when we came home. He was well cared for and very much appreciated the excellent communication and pictures throughout the care. We are looking forward to seeing you both again!”

“Brittney was fantastic! She communicated well, followed all instructions and requests, and most of all my cats liked her. She spent time to play with and groom them and clearly loves animals. There was even a little mess while I was away and Brittney wasn’t fazed. She informed me, made sure she knew how to handle it, and took care of everything. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I’ve always loved pets and have raised a couple puppies as well. I will be your pets new best friend! Im currently working part time so I will have lots of time to check in on your pets. I’m available most days in the morning and evening. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I closely follow each owner’s instructions, keep doors and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!

“Anna Maria did another excellent job caring for our cats while we were away. She is reliable, caring, and attentive to their needs, including special feeding and medication routines. It gives us great peace of mind knowing our cats are in such capable hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything was in perfect order. This is the second time we have entrusted our cats to Anna Maria, and once again she exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Anna Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”

“Jennifer is absolutely amazing and most definitely a cat whisperer! Our dear cat is very nervous and shy but Jennifer had her feeling so safe and comfortable. Jennifer was able to offer such generous care and updates to us, navigate our cat's medication and made sure she was safe during a heat wave! Above all Jennifer is simply a kind and thoughtful person and we are very grateful to have had her to look after our cat. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs, but between working full-time, travelling , and raising a family, owning one felt like a big commitment. So instead, I became the go-to dog walker for my neighbours! I also spent 10 months pet sitting for a friend while they travelled throughout Europe, and after that experience, I finally got my own dog! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently share my home with two cats and one friendly dog along with my husband and son. Now that my son is 19, I have more flexibility and would love to help other families by providing reliable, caring pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your pet’s routine and personality. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to answer any questions and see if we’re a good fit! I work full time and am available evenings and weekends to care for your pets. I have some flexibility with my job and am able to make arrangements to fit what you may want for your pets. I am happy to come to your home to walk, feed, play and/or stay with your pets. I enjoy hiking too so if your dog would prefer that, I am able to take them on some of our lovely hiking trails.

About: 5+ years of hands-on experience and dedication to providing thoughtful care for every pet. I have cared for puppies, dogs, and cats by house-sitting, walking dogs, feeding pets, giving medications and vitamins, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide reliable, loving care. I am available to walk your pets in the early afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can house-sit on occasion, if we come to a mutual agreement! I provide loving, personalized care, follow routines, ensure fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Customizable to you!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

“Kathryn took good care of my cats and they really seemed to like her based on the photos. She made it easier to leave for my trip knowing they were in good hands”

About: Long time dog owner, I specialize in senior animals. I fully beleive in letting dogs sniff areas as much as they need, it's stimulating to them. I am self employed and living on Saturna Island. I live, work and travel with my best friend Raygan. We live off grid and raise our own meat birds, eggs and veggies. I do not provide in home care at my house. Need to meet minimum word requirements. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word.

About: Hi! Thank you for checking out my profile! I am so excited to meet your wonderful furry friends. I have been caring for animals for going on 7 years. I do dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, house sitting and more! I have worked with a large variety of breeds, sizes and temperaments. I am confident working with senior dogs and cats, and puppies and kittens. Additionally I have worked with countless rescue dogs and know how to work with anxious dogs. Animals are more than pets to me, they are family. Your pet deserves enrichment, love and safety. I strive to bring all of this to my care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets at home so I want to make this process as easy as possible for you. Giving you thorough updates, communication and trusting experience. From one animal person to another, I’m so excited to connect! 😊🐾 I work from home so pet care works perfectly into my schedule. It gives me the freedom to travel anywhere and be with the pets most of the day When I care for your pet in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect. I will treat it as my own, being clean, responsible and and considerate.

About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, and I approach pet sitting with the same attentiveness and responsibility I would want for my own pets. I was a devoted dog owner for 14 years to my beloved beagle, caring for her through every stage of life — from daily exercise and enrichment to senior care and comfort. That experience shaped my understanding of how important patience, consistency, and emotional awareness are when looking after animals. I’m experienced with small dogs and cats and comfortable managing feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and independent. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets can stick to their routines and feel at ease. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I treat every home with respect and care. I work primarily from home on my laptop, so my schedule is flexible and I’m generally present for much of the day. This allows me to maintain your pet’s usual feeding, medication, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines while providing regular companionship. I do leave the home for errands, appointments, personal activities, and occasionally other scheduled pet-care visits. Before accepting a booking, I’ll confirm how long your pet can comfortably be left alone to ensure their needs are compatible with my schedule. My days are typically calm and structured, making my care especially suitable for pets that enjoy a relaxed environment and consistent routine. While I’m happy to accommodate reasonable care requirements, pets needing continuous supervision or who cannot be left alone should be discussed before booking. I provide house sitting in your pet’s own home, where they can remain comfortable in familiar surroundings. I work from home, so I’m generally present and attentive throughout the day while still coming and going for errands and appointments. For overnight stays, I require a clean, sanitary, and reasonably tidy home with a comfortable sleeping space prepared before my arrival. This includes freshly laundered bed linens, clean towels, and access to a clean bathroom and functional kitchen. Essential utilities and appliances must be working, and doors, windows, fences, and gates must be secure. Housekeeping or preparing the home for my stay is not included in the pet-sitting service. Please disclose any household concerns, maintenance issues, indoor cameras, or areas that are off-limits before the booking. I also require an honest and complete description of each pet’s health, temperament, routines, training, and behaviour. Pets should be reasonably clean, and the home must be free from fleas, bedbugs, or other infestations. Any history of aggression, biting, resource guarding, escape behaviour, separation anxiety, or indoor accidents must be disclosed before I accept the booking. Clear care instructions, emergency contacts, adequate food and supplies, and current veterinary information must be provided. My goal is to give your pets calm, consistent care while treating your home responsibly and respectfully.
