“A truly wonderful sitter. She really goes the extra mile in taking lots of pictures and giving us a good report of how our kitty is doing. She washes the dishes and reaches out in advance to make sure she understands our kitty’s care needs. Hopeful to book with her again and again. All at a reasonable rate.”

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 (Tuesday-Thursday), so can spend all day with your animals making sure that they are having lots of walks, cuddles and play time. I offer: drop ins, house sits and boarding depending on needs of each client. 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 was terrific and took very good care of our kitties. She went above and beyond when our power went out while we were away. She also kept in touch with us during the entire duration so we knew everything was good at home.”

“Alex did a great job of looking after my older cat Jasper and the obviously spent some time getting to know him. Alex was always there at feeding time each evening and updated me on Jaspers whereabouts and dealt with his medication. Appreciate all his efforts.”

About: Lady was the first dog we had in our family (in the picture) and I had the opportunity to learn most of what I know through her. I was able to learn appropriate dog walking skills, routines for dogs, the importance of play and the impacts of going for longer walks in nature. I typically like to have the appropriate treats for dogs while on walks (depends on any known allergies) and always like have water or access to water with me to ensure hydration is being met after big runs! I’m always constantly ensuring their safety while out and mindful of where I am going. I’m currently working part-time and in school full-time at VIU; I am using this as an opportunity to get outside more; spend more time doing things that I love like going for nature walks and spending time with animals. For pet visits I hold the up most respect for your environment and how you would like me to interact in that with your pet; I have been a pet-sitter for my family and friends in the past and just always ask for exactly what you would like to see from me while there.

“Kylee saved our Thanksgiving holiday by agreeing to look after our kitties on short notice. She was very communicative and followed directions perfectly!”

“Shayla did a great job checking in on our dog and is very communicative. Will definitely request her services again :)”

About: Hello! I'm Anna and I've been a pet sitter for over 8 years. I LOVE spending time with animals. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from small lapdogs to extra-large breeds, and I've had the joy looking after many wonderful cats, from playful american shorthairs, cuddly ragdolls, gentle tuxedo cats, to my personal favorite sphynx baby! I also love getting out for walks, hikes, and even runs with dogs when they're up for it! My goal is to offer genuine, caring service that makes your fur babies feel loved and right at home. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in quality time for pet care throughout the day. I usually take short breaks to walk and play with the pets, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and affection while I'm working. I tailor my care to each pet and home based on your unique needs, making sure your pets get plenty of walks and playtime. I’m all about giving them fun, attention, and a comfortable environment so they stay happy and loved!

“Ashley has been open minded about Harley and her ways. On their initial meeting, Harley was protective and defensive, then warmed up and sat next to Ashley. Ashley showed of patience and understanding as well as being completely calm, honest, and respectful.”

About: I’ve taken care of plenty of companions over the last 10 years from fish to horses your furry friends will be in great hands :) I currently work part time so I will have tons of time to play with your animals! Depending on days I will be available to schedule accordingly. While being in your space I find it makes your pet comfortable and relaxed, being easy to tend to their needs and goes for a smoothness transition

“I contacted Dorothy months ahead about a drop-in type visit while my husband and I were to be visiting Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, from California for a family wedding. I scheduled with Dorothy to come to our travel trailer in the Living Forest Campground and RV Park for the Meet n Greet to not only meet us, but how to get in our trailer, all about the dogs and their needs. Dorthy listened to all that was needed and then contacted me by text during the scheduled evening when we were gone to let us know she’d been there and handled everything. There were three dogs to walk in two trailers and Dorothy fed each one and took them for walks to get their business done; what a lifesaver she was so that we could be gone for an extended time and all was handled. I recommend Dorothy without hesitation and will use her again if we ever come back to Nanaimo.”

“Sarah was an amazing sitter for my fur babies. They were well cared for and given care and attention and Sarah was great at communicating and sending photos for each visit. Thank you for taking such good care of Luna and Butttercup!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My daughter has brought home more rescues than I can count ❤️. I have pet sat for friends & family over the years and of course loved & cared for our own pets! I look forward to caring for your fur family member when you have to be away! I currently work full time Monday to Friday. My availability has changed to evenings and weekends. Available starting Fridays at 3:30 pm. Occasionally I will have an extra day (stat) off to make a long weekend getaway happen 😊 Walks and of course lots of love & affection! We do have two cats that are fairly chill and will most likely keep to themselves.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, giving me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. To me, pets are family, and I believe they deserve the same love, patience, and respect as any other family member. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and curious kittens to gentle senior cats and dogs, and I understand how each stage of life comes with unique needs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and truly understand how stressful it can feel to trust someone else with a pup who needs extra care, patience, and awareness. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and supportive environment where your pet feels secure and understood. With dogs, I have extensive experience in training, including agility, and I’m happy to reinforce any ongoing training routines you’re working on. While most of my experience has been caring for my own pets and those of close friends and family, I’m excited to expand my services and help more pet parents feel confident, supported, and worry-free while they’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. After work we’ll get a good walk in. They’ll have access to a large, fully fenced yard for safe potty breaks and outdoor time, along with a minimum of one walk daily. Off-leash adventures can also be offered for the right fit. I share my home with two cats and children, so any dog staying with us must be comfortable, gentle, and non-reactive in these environments. For everyone’s comfort and safety, trial meet-and-greets are required for all new boarding clients.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats as a child. As soon as I moved out to Canada, I got my own dog. My kids grew up with all kinds of animals in the house, the animals helped make my house a home. I’ve looked after friends and family pets most of my life and occasionally got paid for it. I took semi retirement early to enjoy life more and work less. I don’t consider caring for a pet a job. I work less the 30 hrs a week so lots of time to care for your pets in your home Lots of exercise, stick to the routine already set up by the owner. Lots of patience as the animal gets to know me and plenty of cuddles along the way. I have experience with seizures and epilepsy
