“Erin did an excellent job taking care of my elderly dog & even older cat! Both of them took a liking to her straight away which is wonderful as our dog is quite picky with his people :) Would highly recommend, and look forward to her next visit.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover. I have extensive experience with puppies and dogs, kittens and cats, rats and ferrets. I am mature, responsible and single. I am devoted to my own little chihuahua, Sergio. We spend almost all of our time together walking in the woods, sitting on the grass, playing at the beach and snuggling on the couch. I am patient, considerate and kind. I currently live in Toronto but would like to spend part of the year on the west coast where both my brother and sister reside. Ideally, I would love to care for your pets, home and garden for an extended period of time. I am available 24/7 and happy to care for your pets, your home and your garden at all hours. I am free of obligation for months at a time. I am happy to follow the rules you set to ensure your pets are happy and healthy. The health and safety of your pets is my top priority!

“Jacqueline was simply amazing! She took such good care of our 3 dogs and 3 cats - which in itself is not an easy task, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were all comfortable and happy. She was also incredible at sending frequent updates on all of them! We are very thankful to have someone as thoughtful and competent as her to look after our home when we are away.”

“Thank you Kathryn for your understanding today and helping fulfill the needs for Daisy. She clearly trusted you right away and your consistent communication allowed me to enjoy my day away :)”

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.

“Kylee took good care of my dog Cheecha and followed the instructions I left for her. She was easy to communicate with, sent daily pictures and told me when my dog was showing signs of an upset tummy. When I got back home, the house was in the same clean condition I left it in. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you Kylee!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of many dogs for friends and family while they are away. I raised my first dog (In my adult life) from a puppy, right through to his end of life. I also have cared for our current dog who we adopted, so I have had exposure with dogs that are experiencing re homing and adoption senarios. I love walking dogs and believe strongly that an active dog is a happy dog! I am currently looking to change careers to dog walking and sitting and am very flexible with schedule. I am available for walks from 7am-3:30pm weekdays and can be open to weekend walks as well. For in home sitting I am available weekdays and weekends after 6pm for over night stays. I am very flexible for check ins and supplementary visits/ walks during overnight stays. All walks and visits can be curated to most schedule needs with enough notice and communication. I take all the measures to care for your pets in the same loving secure way that I can for my own pets. I require all dogs to be leash walked until a safe trust has been created between all parties involved. Obviously all safety concerns of the client as to the care of their pet will be followed to the best of my ability and instruction.

“Anna Maria came to our home to look after our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She took good care of our pets looking after feeding, walking, playing, cuddling and cleaning up. We were concerned because our senior dog, age 17, becomes stressed when we are away and needs special care. We appreciated the daily pictures and updates Anna Marie sent and could see that our pets were happy and calm with her competent care. She is reliable and trustworthy and we will be happy to hire her again.”

“Chris is wonderful!! My pups love him. He stayed in touch, sent pictures and the house was cleaner than when we left. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again.”

“Lynda is always a great sitter for Petey! I am always at ease knowing he's with her and have no worries :).”

“Lyne is a fantastic house and pet sitter! She took such good care of our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. Lyne sent us photos and videos and kept in contact throughout our trip, which was so reassuring and helped my Fiance and I truly relax and have fun while on our vacation. When returned home from our trip, the house was clean and tidy which was nice to come home to. I absolutely highly recommend Lyne for house and pet sitting, she is reliable, trustworthy and so friendly to work with.”

Rosanna S.

“Kathryn stayed at our home and watched our 2 Australian Shepherds for 3 nights and we highly recommend her. We are relatively new to Victoria and our dogs are still getting used to condo-living, elevators, and having lots of other dogs around at the same time which makes them rather anxious. In fact, one of our dogs was so anxious (or maybe not feeling well)) and Kathyrn took her outside multiple times during the night and went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. She also managed to take them on several walks even though it rained most of the weekend. She is very thoughtful, caring, responsible, clean and a genuinely nice person. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our pets again and would give her a 10 star rating if that was possible!”

Debbie And Hugh H.

“Emma did a great job caring for my cat and home. Trustworthy and a great communicator. She sent me frequent updates and photos of my cat which I appreciated. Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”

About: Hello! Are you going away and worried about your dog missing their walks, treats and belly rubs? I've got you covered! I offer calm, reliable, and loving dog care-whether that means daily walks or cozy house sitting and keeping your fur baby company. My focus is keeping your pets safe, happy and on their routines whilst treating them like family. I am happy to feed, provide fresh water and meds if required. Your furry friend/friends will receive lots of attention, snuggles and playtime. I have had dogs for most of my life and have experience with puppies, seniors, high watt energy and shy souls. I'm patient and take my time to establish trust and comfort with your animal(s). Think of me as your pet's stand in human while you're away. I'm always happy to keep their tails wagging, paws moving and your mind at ease. I currently have an on call position at my job, so I have a very open schedule allowing for stayovers, walks and drop ins. My schedule is listed open all week, I just need a little bit of notice in advance. When I am with your dog/dogs, cat etc I will feed and water them, and if required give basic medications. This will be adhered to in a timely manner as discussed for your pet's needs. If you have a yard and would prefer to have them be exercised there we can play ball, or if preferred your furries can be walked. When inside, that's you and your dog's space and will be treated with utmost respect.

“Breanne stepped in on short notice to look after Roke while I was out of town. Roke is recovering from an ACL injury. Breanne did an awesome job of tiring him out within his limitations, and spent some extra time with him to make sure he got cuddles and care. I look forward to having Breanne back the next time I need a dog sitter.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each dog’s routine and needs. I focus on calm, consistent handling and clear expectations, which helps dogs settle quickly. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of training cues, and comfortable supporting puppies as well as senior dogs. I follow care instructions closely, keep environments safe and structured, and pay attention to behaviour or health changes. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and care that prioritizes your dog’s wellbeing while you’re away. Although I work full time, I have flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to build pet care smoothly into my daily routine. When working in the office I commute to Nanaimo, which means I can provide home care to pets from Shawnigan Lake to Nanaimo. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment for pets, both in my home and in clients’ homes. I stick to routines, follow instructions carefully, and pay close attention to safety on walks and at home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces and keep things clean and secure. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

“Tara fulfilled our list of requests with no problem or miscommunications! Our dog is reactive so it’s important to be able to leave him with someone we trust. He loved his time with Tara and we will definitely be booking again! She was extremely polite and easy to work with and left our house clean and tidy.”

“Cassie looked after our older pup this weekend and she was amazing. I felt instantly comfortable upon meeting Cassie and Layla was very content being at home with her for the weekend. Cassie took great care of our home leaving it as she found it and more. Thanks so much Cassie will definitely see you again soon!”

Sonya S.

“I was so grateful to have Jillian look after my kitty and home while I was away. She's very friendly and sweet and sent regular updates while we were away so we knew how Geronimo was doing. She even cleaned before she left so we didn't have to do a thing when we came home. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again. Thanks so much Jillian!”

About: Hey all you Pet Parents! Leaving your babies with someone you don't know can be terrifying, and to be honest, I was never able to leave my baby in a daycare - So I totally know what you are feeling right now! I will make sure they know how much they are loved, and I will always send pictures and updates to put your mind at ease! Each and every fur baby is the most special, and I always make sure they know that. My name is Hanna and animals are truly my life. I have spent my entire life spending as much time as possible with ALL types of animals. For me, growing up it was Dogs and Horses... Not only was I completely obsessed - but I was also the neighbourhood dog walker/babysitter. We lived in a fairly safe area, and most people would let their dogs have free roam. That being said, if they ever couldn't find their dogs, they were usually hanging out with 5 year old me, in my yard, or my bed. I began volunteering part time in barns and stables at the age of 7 years old. Every weekend I was taking care of all the barnyard animals, sheep, pregnant cats, injured ducks, birthing cows, nursing horses - you name it. During this time I also volunteered at the local SPCA, playing and brushing all the animals, and walking the dogs. As I grew older, I became the go-to in my neighbourhood whenever pets needed extra attention. I had two dogs on my street alone that needed regular medical support, and their owners weren't fully comfortable administering medication. One needed regular insulin injections, and one had part time subcutaneous pain management, that turned into full-time geriatric support I would help with. I was also the go-to when they couldn't take their babies on vacation with them, both in my parents house (Sorry Mom and Dad) and at their owners home. At the age of 13 I was on payroll with an elite Hunter/Jumper barn. I was part of a team that cared for 27 high performance show horses, with the most expensive horse in the barn being worth 1.2 million dollars (He happened to also be the best cuddler.) I stayed with this stable all through the rest of grade school until I went to Pharmacy school. Working with this team is still, to this day, the best working experience I have had in my life. Currently, I have the most wonderful Staffy mix, and he is truly my "soul dog". He is 8 years old and the biggest sweety pie ever, my Mother calls him "the marshmallow". We have recently signed up to be volunteers with St. John's, so that we can visit patients and eventually students who could use a dose of happiness. He loves other dogs, and kids, or anyone that will talk to him - and he will gladly share me with anyone we have in our home. I have both the passion, and the experience to give your babies not only the love they deserve, but also the care that they need while you are away, either at work or on vacation. If you have any questions at all, please reach out and I will get back to you as soon as possible! Take Care xo I own my own business so I am very flexible with time, and absolutely love being able to switch gears, get some fresh air with the dogs and give my brain a break! I am extremely professional and will follow your directions for how you’d like your dog (and me) to behave in the home - consistency is important! I have had multiple clients give me their keys or door codes to come and go with absolutely no concerns, I’m only there for your pets! My home has a very large fenced yard where your pet can safely explore to their hearts content. I am very comfortable with all animals, and am able to uphold any training regimens you may have (including e-collars, alternative collars etc)
