About: Hey! I’m a Veterinary Assistant with 4 years of experience working in clinic. This has taught me many valuable skills including post surgical / wound care, administration of various medications, dietary needs, and many other pet caring skills. I also have spent a great deal of time caring for my own elderly doggy who recently passed from cancer. This in conjunction with my training has given me a great deal of experience working with high need pets who require complicated care. I’ve also done some casual cat and dog sitting for family, friends, and coworkers. Since my own doggie passed I have been missing my pet time and thought this would be the perfect way to get my fix! :) This September I’ll be going into full time school, as a student I will need to be on the VIU campus for 2-8 hours daily on weekdays. I’ll be available for pet care before and after class, and all day on weekends. :) As someone who has worked with pets of all kinds with varying medical and physical needs you can rest assured that I will have both the skills and knowledge to give your pet the absolute best care!

About: Animals have been my passion and career for over 10 years. My background includes working in dog daycares, veterinary medicine, and animal control, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I've welcomed many dogs into my home over the years and treat every pet like family. I currently have one dog and three cats, so my only requirement is that visiting dogs are social and comfortable around other animals. I look forward to giving your pet a safe, loving home away from home! As a stay-at-home mom to one child, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Your pet will be treated like part of the family while in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the day and can provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and lots of attention. Dogs will have access to a safe, comfortable home environment and plenty of supervised interaction. I have one dog and three cats, so I only accept dogs that are social and comfortable around other animals. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, loved, and at home while you're away.

“Very caring of my kitty. Happy to have Karuna come.”

“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.”

“So happy that I found Rhaya to look after my cats while I was away on vacation! One is 18 and requires his meds and like a pro she made sure he got them. He also took quite the liking to her;) The other is very shy, an indoor/outdoor and she somehow managed to get her to come around to eat. Very rare with people she doesn't know! Upon meeting Rhaya I knew right away that she could be totally trusted and that my cats would be in the best hands. I had no hesitation in just leaving a key for her and it was so nice to get a quick message update daily after each visit. As well a few cute pics over the time period:) Professional, reliable and caring, I highly recommend her to all other pet owners. So grateful to have found my new regular cat sitter🙏”

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. Heading back to work! Primarily work from home and travel to headquarters for branch and divisional meetings. I currently work for the Ministry of Emergency Management. 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.

“Just delighted to have found Lindsay to look after our doggos! Nala and Winston had the best time and we look forward to booking again - such a relief to find someone to help us out.”

“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.”

About: I have professional and personal experience with dogs, working in a professional setting with up to roughly 100 dogs daily (to many...please don't hire me to look after that many) as well as working with strays and rescues out of the country... Just lots of pet experience all around. I am professionally trained in dog and cat behavior, and studied wildlife biology. Not just a dog lover, I can handle all animals well, including exotics:). I am open for over night or a few hours or days. Any time is a good time. I can be flexible for whatever works I pay attention to the animal's behavior and needs rather than wants. Every dog is a new personality and they shouldn't all be handled the same way.

“Jillian is such a sweetheart, and my girl Roxy really seems to like her. She stayed with Roxy while my partner and I went out for dinner as Roxy has separation anxiety and Roxy was chill and slept while we were gone! Would recommend Jillian to anyone!”

About: I've had a dog since I was seven and have gotten used to taking care of them throughout my life. I really enjoy going for long walks, so I'm always happy to come over and tire your dog out! I’d love to to take your dog for a hike or to the lake! I find it’s a great way to get outside for me and the pooch! I always make sure the gate is closed when pets are in the backyard, I always check to see if they have enough water and will adhere to your feeding schedule! As a pet owner, I value outdoor time for animals because I notice they're always happiest outside!

About: I've always loved animals. I have a psych degree, and learning about positive re-enforcement and and training pets to do tricks is my favourite thing. I'm self employed so my schedule is flexible. I am also nomadic, so I'm happy to travel to a new place to care for a pet, and be somewhere new I take time to get to know each animal, their wants and needs, and most importantly, their personalities. My goal is to make any separation from their persons as easy as possible

About: Took care of my first puppy chihuahua for 18 years. Now taking care of a 3 year old Bernedoodle. Lots experiences with all ages of dogs. I am only working part time so I have lots of time to be with my dog. When I am off work, we go to different parks or beach when the weather is nice. I live 1 block away from Stanley Park with a 3 year old mini berniedoodle. We take our walk alone the seawall everyday. We are at a air conditioned 3 bed room apartment so we got enough space for the pups.
