Cat Sitting in Nanaimo

“Anastasia was amazing doing pop in visits for my cat. She always sent photos and kept me up to date. Would recommend and will use her again!”

“Communication and coordination went seamlessly with Sara. We threw a bit of a curved ball at her and she handled it profesionally; she seems to have a very solid foundation on animal behaviour, I'm guessing from past experienced at shelters. Thank you for taking care of Gordo while he was on edge and playing catch with us in trying to make new friends for him ♡”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were apprehensive at first. We sure got lucky when we found Sam! She was awesome! She is a pleasure to work with and very professional. You can tell she's a real animal person. She looked after our house and our cat Mickey for a week and everything went better than we could have hoped. You will not regret hiring Sam to look after your pet and your house if needed.”

“Jen has special touch with animals. She has such gentle soul that even my skittish cat opened up to her quickly. I am so grateful to find her would recommend her to anyone with their furry companions.”

“We’ve had Janelle come and look after our cats multiple times and every time we’re so happy with how well she takes care of them. She is also great when we’ve had unexpected travel issues and been delayed coming home. Fantastic and would definitely recommend!”

Elaine S.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Fanta. We had an unexpected family emergency to take care of on the mainland and knowing Fanta was in good hands took so much stress off of us.”

Susan P.

“Our cats are usually very standoffish with other people and they were curious from the meet before the situation. Good signs. When we came home, everyone was calm, playful and zen. The mark of a great feral cat whisperer is an ambivalent and aloof floof. Thank you so much! 10)10”

“Norman loved his time with Yuet. She was responsive to messages and incredibly caring with my sphynx cat. She sent multiple updates throughout the day so I wasn’t missing my lil guy. She is extremely great at what she does and we will use her services every time Norman needs a babysitter. Thank you, Yuet!”

“Jimena did a wonderful job. She took good care of my 2 spoiled cats over a weekend giving them their special food and treats. She sent pictures and videos every few hours which made my wife and I travel without worrying much about them. We felt they were in good hands”

“Alex is AWESOME she took such great care of our two cats. we haven't left them alone very much so we were quite worried about it, especially one who is more on the nervous side, but when we came home they weren't stressed out at all they were really happy and chilled out. Alex took great care of our house and we couldn't have asked for better. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Alex and we will definitely use her again”

About: I have volunteered at a vet clinic, as well as volunteering at an animal rescue group. Recently adopted my very own feral cats Max and Mickey. I do 3 overnight shifts a week, so can spend all day with your animals making sure that they are having lots of walks, cuddles and play time. I only pet sit in clients home, due to apartment regulations as well as I have two cats. I always do a meet and greet with each client to discuss the pet’s needs and the best ways to take care of them.

“Kelly took wonderful care of our cats. She came over at least twice a day to feed, administer meds, provide scritches and love. We received daily updates and pictures/videos. I would definitely contact them again to look after the cats and would recommend them to anyone who wants their pets to be safe and comfortable while they are away.”

She has cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and rabbits: giving her a deep understanding of different species' needs and behaviors. Together, we have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions, including basic training like housebreaking, leash manners, and socialization. Being active and outdoorsy, we love providing fun, stimulating activities like long walks, play sessions, and enrichment tailored to your pet’s personality.

We have a lovely home located in the heart of Departure Bay.

When caring for pets at the owner's home, we respect their routine and environment, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. We adapt to each pet's habits, whether it's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply offering companionship.

“This was the second time Melissa has looked after our kitties and same as the first time, she is so awesome! We got updates and pictures and didn't have to stress during our vacation at all!”

About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs and cats. When I moved to Nanaimo for school I missed my pets so much, which caused me to start volunteering with Elder Dog Nanaimo in 2022. I’m a 3ed year criminology student studying full time at VIU. I volunteer every Saturday and Sunday; however, it is only for 2 hours each day. I believe in making a connection with your pet and following their normal routine. I am great at following instructions to keep your dog/cat happy and calm.

“Elizabeth was great with my cat, she sent regular photo and video updates, was super responsive, and clearly someone I could trust. When I came home, my cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious Elizabeth gave her lots of love and attention. I’d definitely book with her again!”

About: Located in Nanaimo, BC in the University District. I’ve grown up always having family dogs and I now have two cats of my own. I used to have a few regular clients that I house sat for a few years ago in Kamloops but i took a few years break from the app. Now that I’ve recently relocated to Nanaimo I’m looking to get back into it again where it’s house sitting, walks or check ins. I have a pretty flexible schedule so as long as i don’t have any conflicting clients I’m available quite often as long as there is a couple hours notice. I have my own vehicle so I’m able to come to your neighbourhood or take your pet to a nearby park for a more enriching environment.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, as well as worked on farms with sheep, goats and chickens and always enjoy getting to meet new animals. I work from home with a relatively flexible schedule. Getting away to drop in or go for a walk is one of my favourite aspects to my current role! I have cared for my own personal pets before, during and after surgeries. I’m very comfortable with administering medications. From young ages to elderly, big to small, I’m very adaptable and always aim to keep animals safe and happy.
