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 from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My schedule is generally quiet and structured, with most of my work done on my laptop, so pets aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m typically home the majority of the day, with only occasional short outings for errands, groceries, or appointments. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to maintain consistent feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, and check-ins, while also keeping an eye on pets who may need a bit more attention or companionship. My work is flexible, so I can easily adapt my routine to fit a pet’s needs, whether that means extra outdoor time, medication schedules, or simply providing a calm presence for animals who prefer company. This setup works especially well for pets who are used to having someone around, experience separation anxiety, or just enjoy a steady, relaxed environment. Although I don’t offer boarding, I maintain a calm, organized, and safety-conscious home environment that reflects the level of care I bring to every pet sitting job. I keep my space clean, clutter-free, and pet-aware, meaning there are no accessible hazards like exposed wires, toxic plants, or unsafe foods within reach. I’m very mindful of safety routines such as securing doors and gates, monitoring pets closely, and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere without excessive noise or disruptions. My approach is preventative — I pay attention to details and potential risks so pets can feel relaxed and secure at all times. Because I work from home, I’m present and attentive throughout the day, which allows me to respond quickly if a pet needs anything. Whether I’m caring for pets in their own home or simply checking in, I bring the same level of responsibility, awareness, and respect for their comfort and safety.

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 work remotely and can 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!

“Huck was happy and well taken care of when we got home. Sometimes it’s hard to find someone to watch such a big dog but we feel he had a great time with Chris.”

“Cameron has stayed with my dog multiple times now and has been great everytime. She's a true German Shepherd and has a hard time with new people. She's also 100 pounds so not just anyone can watch her. Our house has been left clean every time. would definitely recommend him!”

“Kirk arrived as scheduled and had great communication. I trusted the dogs had a great time!!”

“Robin was great, especially with Toro (our senior dog) - he got a beach day and lots of snuggles. He was very happy and energetic when we got home. She also left us a beautiful drawing of all our animals - we're looking forward to her taking care of our kitties in August.”

Jarrett H.

“Lori is a kind and considerate person who took care of my precious furry boys (dog and a cat) for a four days, in my own home. The boys were spoiled and happy and the house just was as I left it when I returned. I would absolutely have Lori back anytime I have a pet sitting need!”

“Brooke & Brenden did an incredible job for us. They looked after our dog and our house for two weeks. They were very communicative, punctual and absolutely great with our 70 pound dog Charlie. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Charlie was getting all the care, love and attention she needed. Charlie is a sweet but reactive dog that requires some special attention while walking and greeting strangers. Our instructions were followed very closely by Brooke and Brenden and Charlie seems very relaxed after their stay. They also left the house extremely clean and well tended. We highly recommend these two wonderful people and look forward to booking them for our next trip away !”

Shannon J.

“Jenn was incredible! She was so communicative, kind, and attentive to our sweet, anxious dog. She followed our instructions for him to T, and when we came home, he was just so happy. Plus, our house was cleaner when we came home then when we left! What a treat! Our dog has been nervous in the past with other sitters, but we could tell he was happy and comfortable with Jenn right away. She and Adam really have a way with dogs, and we're so grateful that we found them. Will definitely be booking them again soon!”

Julie M.

“Selina was a very professional, mature, reliable sitter for our indoor cat Jelly Bean. We recieved some photos and excellent communications before, during and after her stay in our home. Our house was left very clean and our plants maintained well and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”

“Michaella was amazing with Dunkin. I had a last minute change of plans and she was very flexible and still able to accommodate everything! She sent lots of pictures and Dunkin had the best time. Would love to book with her again soon!”

About: I’m lucky to have two amazing dogs in my life, Luna ( a lady of a certain age! ) she belongs to my son and when she comes to me for her “holidays” we enjoy long, leisurely walks and/or a lovely swim in the ocean! And lots of cosy, curled up on the couch time. Then there’s Molly- who is a sweet golden retriever puppy belonging to my daughter. I spent a wonderful summer with Molly in tow, at just 10 weeks old, everything was new to her and delighted her. Although our walks were short, we went often and Molly made many friends in the neighbourhood! My daughter lives in the Okanagan Valley therefore, sadly I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with “our” Molly. Having said that, I do have lots of time to spend with your precious canine! I love walking and believe I would be a great companion for your dog when you can’t be there. I will strive to walk in different areas to provide visual interest to your dog and take the utmost care of him/ her at all times. I prefer on leash walks but am more than happy to play off leash games in your back yard. If your dog requires medication, I’m quite confident with that - recently Luna needed a course of injections and I was able to do that with no problems and obviously, I can feed your dog if required. At the moment I provide 2 kitties with regular overnight care and drop in visits. One of whom is diabetic & requires daily medication. I have lots of flexibility at the moment. I can offer week day and weekend service and am happy to tailor the length/ type of walk to suit your dog. I prefer to offer one on one care to deepen my bond with your dog. I am excellent housekeeper & live “lightly” in my clients homes.

“Alison was a loving and attentive cargiver for my dog Suede. I arrived home to a house that was sparkling clean and a calm and content pup. Alison even made homemade dog food for my dog and bought a ball and ball launcher for my dog.”

“Very happy with Erika’s care of my 2 pets while I was away for 5 days without cell service. I came home to a tidy home & happy pets. Thank you Erika!”

Carrie C.

“Thank you Kathryn for your understanding today and helping fulfill the needs for Daisy. She clearly trusted you right away and your consistent communication allowed me to enjoy my day away :)”

“Leah was wonderful...kind to my shy rescue and resilient wuth the 2 different personalities. She sent pictures. The only reason I didnt give 5 out of 5 was rhat my shy rescue proved a little too stubborn about not going for walks and I wished Leah had asked more questions about that...but as this was our first housesit and spending time with these 2 big dogs. LEAH was awesome.”

Janie R.

“Tammy provided excellent care for both my home and my pets. She made sure my dog got daily walks and little adventures, and I really appreciated all the photo updates while I was away. My dog is a senior, and Tammy was incredibly thoughtful—she even brought a dog stroller so Bella could ride comfortably whenever she got tired. Tammy truly went above and beyond. She left my home clean and tidy, even organizing a few things around the house. I was welcomed home with freshly baked banana bread on the counter and a handwritten note, which was such a lovely touch. We would be absolutely happy to have Tammy back again and highly recommend her!”

Huzan M.

“She is a very good listener, communicated well & gave our senior cat meds, feel very comfortable having her stay at our house to care for our cat with special needs, highly recommend!”

Leanne J.

“Reed was incredibly self-sufficient, responsible, and organized. From the first moment, I felt at ease even being out of the country and occasionally out of contact. Highly recommend.”
