Dog Walkers in Nanaimo

“Cristina was absolutely incredible. She was reliable, she communicated and planned in advance with me prior to the visit. Post visit she touched base letting me know how it went and sent pictures. I have a reactive dog on the leash and was nervous on how she would be. She was fantastic with both of my dogs. I would 400 percent recommend Cristina to anyone and will definitely be booking again.”

About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth. Im a very patient, trustworthy person with a passion for animals. If you ask anyone that knows me they'd say I'm an animal lover. I've had animals throughout my whole life from dogs and cats to rats and birds. I've taken care of friends and neighbors animals whether that be walking them, exercising them- I've made arrangments to stop by to feed dogs and reduce some anxiety by playing, relaxing them and company. I've attended the Animal Care Aid Program learning more about the anatomy, interacting and body language of animals, and administering medications. I love taking care of animals and making sure they are getting what they need. Please contact me if I sound like a good fit for your furry family member. I am a part-time online student and work seasonal positions, which allow me to maintain a flexible schedule. I am available for walks and visits at various times throughout the day. When you entrust your pets to me, whether in your home or during walks, I will care for them as if they were my own. I prioritize open and transparent communication, providing regular updates and photos while you are away. I always keep my phone accessible, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. Whether it involves administering medications, exercise, or providing companionship, I am committed to maintaining their routines and ensuring their well-being.

“Sarah has been a breeze to communicate with and my pup looked overjoyed with her walk and visit. Moving to Nanaimo has been an adjustment for my pup and I and having great dog walkers like Sarah is helping ease the stress of this relocation. Plus my dog loves meeting new people.”

About: While a newer face to pet sitting I've had nothing but good times with my clients pets. Have extra poop bags in car. Willing taking dogs on car trips and extra long walks. Have taken care of highly reactive pets before. I love finding new ways to get out and dog walking after work is the perfect way to stretch my legs. Not every weekend has to have plans why not fit in spending time with some amazing pets. Available after 5pm Mon-Thurs Available all day/night Fri-Sun. Will provide pet with love and attention while your not home. Can perform some house cleaning tasks for small additional fee. Will be bringing my own food. (Vegan) During slow moments of pet sitting will most likely be drawing.

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.

“Very compassionate and enthusiastic with my little guy. Prompt arrival. Thanks!”

“Anastasia is so lovely! Prompt communication and isn’t afraid to ask questions if she needs any clarification. She sent pictures and little updates after her walk with Minnie. You can tell she really loves animals too. Great experience!”

About: I grew up taking care of my own dog, teaching her many tricks as a puppy and expanding my knowledge of animal caregiving. I have since had many experiences pet sitting for family friends, and sharing my passion of taking care of individual needs of dogs, giving them a multitude of love and attention. I am a nursing student at VIU and it is currently my summer break so I am practically fully available to provide pet care at this time. I rely on a compassion-based approach, focusing on meeting individual pet’s needs and making sure to adjust my approach depending on how active or attention-needing the animal is.

About: Will care for your dog as if it was my own. Proficient in dog health, cues and behavioural indicators for optimal provision of needs. Believe in consistency from owner to care giver to maintain comfort. I am off work right now, taking time to reconnect work life so I’m just at home. When I am working, I work from home. Pets in my care, depending on home life, spend most of their time with me and come with me on any outings. Exercise is critical to evening rest. Depending on age, trips to dog parks and one long walk a day.

About: I've owned many different pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and all sorts of livestock, and love them all very deeply! This is the same love I will bring to your pets, because I think theres nothing better than spending your time building a friendship with an animal, and gaining their trust and love. I am currently a part time student, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I am generally available all weekend, and anytime after 12pm on Mondays and Fridays. I like to build trust with new pets slowly, so that they don't get anxious of a new person in their space, and let them initiate most interactions. Of course I love to play with pets, but am happy to simply meet their needs and give them a bit of company if that’s what they prefer.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My family has fostered dogs since I was 11 and I was in charge of feeding, walking, bathing and playing with them all. We took in abandoned or abused dogs and gave them a loving temporary home and helped find them their forever homes. I am an experienced dog walker and have no problem walking multiple dogs at once. I have some experience with training puppies on walks and with potty training. I am available everyday as of right now! I prefer walking in the morning but I can work around your schedule. I am also available weekends. I would make sure to tend to your dogs specific needs when visiting your home. I will make sure I include a lot of playing and walking. I will always have treats on me and a water bowl for our walks. I recently worked for my mom’s dog walking company “Paws and Pals” out of Langley. I have 1.5 years of experience as a veterinarian assistant so I am able to administer medications and assess animals behaviours.
