House Sitting Mill Bay

“Walter is in Love! He was so happy with the care and walks he got. And how comforting Sky was to his injured paw. He is looking forward to their week together.”

About: I’m Sandy — an animal-loving sitter with 30+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Pet sitting lets me combine my love of travel and animals while giving pets lots of love and their owners a completely worry-free vacation. I’ve spent decades involved in Pomeranian rescue, performed home checks for Little Paws Rescue, and most recently was a flight angel bringing two pups from Mexico to their forever homes. I’m especially good with seniors, shy animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work part-time remotely, so your pets get plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a non-smoker with a peaceful, easygoing demeanor. I enjoy quiet hobbies like reading and yoga — which helps create a calm, relaxing environment for the pets I care for. I’m clean, respectful, and will look after your home as if it were my own. 🐾 Optional: I share my life with a gentle, well-socialized Pomeranian named Sable. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, and is fully housetrained, friendly, and easygoing. If you’re open for her to join me, she makes a sweet, low-maintenance companion — but she’s just as happy staying at home if you’d prefer a pet-free sit. References available. *Sable's reference: She was a therapy dog at the last dental office I worked at. She helped calm nervous patients, especially children. This speaks volumes about her character. I work from remotely part time. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets and caring for you home while you are away. While you are away, I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. My priority will be to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while also making sure your home is safe and well cared for. Pet care will include: Feeding your pets according to their regular schedule and instructions. Providing fresh water every day. Giving medications or supplements as directed, if required. Making sure they receive their usual exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship. Keeping litter boxes, food areas, and other pet areas clean. Watching for any changes in their behaviour, appetite, or overall well-being and contacting you if I have any concerns. Sending you updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you're away. Home care will include: Keeping the home clean and tidy. Bringing in mail, packages, and newspapers. Taking garbage and recycling out as needed. Watering plants according to your instructions. Following any instructions for heating, lights, security systems, or other household routines. Making sure doors and windows are secure when I leave. Letting you know right away about any maintenance issues or unexpected problems. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings and will do my best to leave everything in the same condition as when you left. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.

“Shae was an amazing and calm dog sitter. Our dog had never been left with anyone before and she was able to reassure Ollie a great deal. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy. She went above and beyond taking care of Ollie and our home. We highly recommend Shae for any sitter needs and feel completely confident in doing so.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Teresa J! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which made it possible for us to catch an earlier ferry. Throughout our pup’s stay, she sent us pictures and updates, and it was so nice seeing all the fun adventures they were having together. When we got home, everything was beyond our expectations, and most importantly, our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly had an amazing time. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend her and hope to have her pet sit for us again in the future!”

Debra J.

“We had Sarah stay with our pup for 5 days and Sarah was incredible. She made me feel so comfortable while I was away with updates and pics of our dog , it just made our trip away so much more enjoyable. When I came home the house was tidy. I would 100 percent recommend Sarah and would def try to rebook her again in the near future.”

Kim E.

“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!”

Ashley C.

“Chris looked after our small farm for 10 days. He was awesome with our dogs (2), 2 birds, 4 guinea pigs and 1 lizard. The house also look amazing when we got home. I would highly recommend Chris to care for your pets.”

“I can’t say how grateful I am for having met Seoyeong! After over 3 years without taking vacations together, my husband and I were really nervous and unsure about leaving our Nina with someone we didn’t know, and the best review was actually seeing how rested and relaxed Nina was when we finally got back home. Our dog was happy to see us, of course, but there was no anxiety, no signs of stress at all, and that is the best review I can think of. Seoyeong was so patient with us throughout the entire process… That was our first time using Rover, and we had a lot of questions and all the uncertainties that come with leaving our baby with someone new. Seoyeong was patient with our questions and accommodating to our needs. That gave us the confidence we needed to enjoy a wonderful vacation time! I can’t thank her enough for that!! She kept track of Nina’s food, exercise routine, and supplements… Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, the apartment was nice and tidy when we got back. Nina was in great shape, happy and relaxed, and that says it all! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Nina asked me to tell you she is missing you already.🐾”

Mariana C.

“Sumiah was fantastic. She took care of our house, dog and cat and kept us worry-free during the entire duration. She was especially accommodating when we had flight delays and that's extremely appreciated. I couldn't recommend her more!”

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

About: I started my business 26 years ago, been professionally full time dogwalking ever since! I grew up with my parents owning a doggy daycare and learned everything from a young age about dogs, dog training, petsitting and dogwalking. I do private walks and group walks. Every dog has a meet and greet to evaluate their personality , and placed with the perfect group for him/her. I have training expierence, pet 1st aid, am bonded and insured. I practice fear free training with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I am available 6 days a week, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sundays, from 9 am to 5 pm. Potty breaks, playtime or walk & trains I live on a secured 3-acre property, with no other dogs. I do daily dog walking from 9 am to 5 pm, including drop in visits for playtime, potty breaks, or walk & trains

About: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. For services at your home, I strictly follow your pet's regular routine, ensure your property is completely secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

“Anna Maria was the first home pet sitter we ever used, was always in a kennel or with family but too old now. Our Rottweiler can be pretty set in his ways and when mama goes away it’s not good but he went right to Anna Maria, cuddled and layed at her feet. We will definitely use Anna Maria again”

About: Dogs and cats have always been special to me. Your furry family members are safe in my care. Check-ins, feedings, and medicine applications are all in my repertoire. I'm a BC native, new to the island. I'm a mortgage broker and have plenty of spare time, so pet sitting fits right into my lifestyle. I'll be there for your beloved family members when they need me. Walkings, feedings, medicine applications, pets, snuggles, and other common means of care are certainly available. I can also teach common tricks, if you have any requests.

“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!”

“Tiana was a great sitter, and I would definitely recommend her to others.  Her communication, availability, and flexibility as we made plans for her to stay at my house was SO kind, and for that alone I am so grateful!! But she did a great job taking care of my kitty, and I was happy to not have to worry about her while I was gone for multiple weeks. Tiana also went out of her way to be very respectful of my home while she was staying there. She clearly put thought and effort into making sure things were nice, clean, and set up for me when I arrived home. I can't tell you how good it felt to come home after a long trip to my space and cat being so well taken care of <3 I definitely want her to catsit again for me next time.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way! I grew up helping care for animals on friends’ farms and had five rabbits of my own while participating in 4-H. These days, I have a wonderful client whose two cats and one dog I care for often. At home, I share my life with a very energetic golden retriever named Dixie and a one-eyed cat named Kitten. Both of whom I absolutely adore. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I love spending time outdoors, going on hikes, and giving animals the attention and care they deserve. My weekly schedule varies as I am currently a part-time server and university student. At the moment, business is slow so Im looking for a little more excitement to fill my time. I do school online so location is not a problem and I can drive as needed. In my home and yours, every animal is treated like part of my family. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they walk through the door. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means meal times, walks, playtime, or quiet time, so they feel right at home. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and always make sure they get the space and reassurance they need.

“Bryce has taken care of our dogs a few times in our house, and he has gone above and beyond our expectations. He is quick to respond, flexible, and always ensures the well-being of our dogs. His experience working with pets has helped us with our senior dog. Our dogs are very happy when we get home. He has become our to-go sitter.”

“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!”
