About: Dog Walking, Sitting & Hiking in the Cowichan Valley! Hi! I’m Rachelle, and I’ve been working with dogs for nearly 15 years — from dog walking and sitting to grooming — beginning in West Vancouver and now happily based in the Cowichan Valley. Whether your pup needs an adventure buddy for trail hikes and park play, or just a calm and cozy companion at home, I’ve got you covered. I specialize in gentle, patient care, and I’ve learned many techniques over the years to help dogs feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Flexible weekday & weekend availability Walks, hikes, playtime, or home hangs — at your place or mine Keeping dogs cool, enriched, and loved through the hot summer months Special care for shy, senior, or sensitive pups Let’s make this summer full of tail wags and fun at all your dog’s favorite spots. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet — I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! – Rachelle M. I am currently working part time so I have lots of spare time to take care in many ways for your pet. I make sure to have lots of patience with every animal I have worked with clients with crating their pet, and calming them before their care giver gets home, feeding them, and making sure they have been walked and had a bathroom break

About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 15 years. I have looked after cats and dogs mostly. I have a busy household and a dog of my own and aside from my part time job, I'm looking for some side work that I know would be fun and fulfilling for me. I love playing with animals and am usually the first one to ask if I can pet someone's dog. Whatever your needs are, I can take care of them for you and your furry family members. I work part time and my hours are not super consistent. I do book my schedule in advance so it it pretty easy to figure my availability in advance. I can see if I can work with a time that suits you! I can't currently board dogs or cats in my own home at this time as my dog is reactive to other furry animals. I am available for home visits/play time and walks when it suits my schedule. I am respectable and tidy and leave places how I find them (if not tidier).

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of pet sitting experience, caring for everything from playful puppies to senior pets and even chickens and bearded dragons! I’ve been on Rover for 5 months, but I’ve been looking after dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, and even farm animals for about a decade. I currently share my home with 3 dogs and 3 cats, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m reliable, flexible, and comfortable with pets of all temperaments including anxious animals, energetic pups, and older companions who need a gentler pace. Whether your pet has a strict routine or just needs a little extra patience and love, I’ll be there with attentive care and lots of affection. Let me know how I can help keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away! When I am sitting your pet they will have my full time and attention. I will only leave for a maximum of a few hours at a time to run errands and small gigs *unless the animals cannot be left alone. In that case, adjustments are made. Your pet(s) are always in my best interest. I live on an acreage and have 3 very friendly dogs who love new friends. We go on several walks/adventures a day and the dogs are supervised when together at all times. I also have three cats but they are well-behaved/trained and used to having new dogs in the house. Like my dogs, they are very friendly and social. If I do care in your home, my animals will stay at my home with my partner, unless your dog would like a friend or two - in that case, my dogs would love to join!

“Brooke took great care of our two cats while we were away and shared some fantastic pictures every visit. It was so nice to know they were in good hands so that we didn’t have to worry. :)”
