Pet Sitting North Cowichan

“Jennifer is absolutely amazing and most definitely a cat whisperer! Our dear cat is very nervous and shy but Jennifer had her feeling so safe and comfortable. Jennifer was able to offer such generous care and updates to us, navigate our cat's medication and made sure she was safe during a heat wave! Above all Jennifer is simply a kind and thoughtful person and we are very grateful to have had her to look after our cat. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough!”

About: I have had many dogs in my family in the past and currently have three. I grew up in a dog obsessed family and I enjoy spending time with all sorts of animals. I have experience administering medicine, puppy care, all sorts of cleaning, and senior care. I currently am job searching so I am available all times of the week and day! If last minute pet care is needed then I am the one to call! I have a fully fenced yard and three friendly out going dogs that are also well around cats. I also have specific areas in my home blocked off to avoid any inside accidents!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I’ve always loved pets and have raised a couple puppies as well. I will be your pets new best friend! Im currently working part time so I will have lots of time to check in on your pets. I’m available most days in the morning and evening. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I closely follow each owner’s instructions, keep doors and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!

“We are so thankful that you took care of our beloved fur child! We felt he was very well taken care of, would recommend Anna and will be using her caring services often!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for family and friends since my teen years. I regularly care for my sisters Siberian Huskies, so I'm familiar with high energy pets! I also have an elderly cat of my own that I love dearly who I've had her entire life. I am currently only working a few side-hustles so my schedule is very flexible to meet your pet care needs. Let me know your pets regular schedule and my aim will be to keep things as consistent as I can for their comfort. My goal is to keep your pets on their regular schedule while you are away so that they are as comfortable as possible. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you updated on how they are doing during my stay!

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

“Kathryn took good care of my cats and they really seemed to like her based on the photos. She made it easier to leave for my trip knowing they were in good hands”

About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, and I approach pet sitting with the same attentiveness and responsibility I would want for my own pets. I was a devoted dog owner for 14 years to my beloved beagle, caring for her through every stage of life — from daily exercise and enrichment to senior care and comfort. That experience shaped my understanding of how important patience, consistency, and emotional awareness are when looking after animals. I’m experienced with small dogs and cats and comfortable managing feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and independent. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets can stick to their routines and feel at ease. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I treat every home with respect and care. I work primarily from home on my laptop, so my schedule is flexible and I’m generally present for much of the day. This allows me to maintain your pet’s usual feeding, medication, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines while providing regular companionship. I do leave the home for errands, appointments, personal activities, and occasionally other scheduled pet-care visits. Before accepting a booking, I’ll confirm how long your pet can comfortably be left alone to ensure their needs are compatible with my schedule. My days are typically calm and structured, making my care especially suitable for pets that enjoy a relaxed environment and consistent routine. While I’m happy to accommodate reasonable care requirements, pets needing continuous supervision or who cannot be left alone should be discussed before booking. I provide house sitting in your pet’s own home, where they can remain comfortable in familiar surroundings. I work from home, so I’m generally present and attentive throughout the day while still coming and going for errands and appointments. For overnight stays, I require a clean, sanitary, and reasonably tidy home with a comfortable sleeping space prepared before my arrival. This includes freshly laundered bed linens, clean towels, and access to a clean bathroom and functional kitchen. Essential utilities and appliances must be working, and doors, windows, fences, and gates must be secure. Housekeeping or preparing the home for my stay is not included in the pet-sitting service. Please disclose any household concerns, maintenance issues, indoor cameras, or areas that are off-limits before the booking. I also require an honest and complete description of each pet’s health, temperament, routines, training, and behaviour. Pets should be reasonably clean, and the home must be free from fleas, bedbugs, or other infestations. Any history of aggression, biting, resource guarding, escape behaviour, separation anxiety, or indoor accidents must be disclosed before I accept the booking. Clear care instructions, emergency contacts, adequate food and supplies, and current veterinary information must be provided. My goal is to give your pets calm, consistent care while treating your home responsibly and respectfully.

About: Long time dog owner, I specialize in senior animals. I fully beleive in letting dogs sniff areas as much as they need, it's stimulating to them. I am self employed and living on Saturna Island. I live, work and travel with my best friend Raygan. We live off grid and raise our own meat birds, eggs and veggies. I do not provide in home care at my house. Need to meet minimum word requirements. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word.

About: I am so excited to meet and welcome your fur baby in our home and give them the love and care they need for every second they're with us! I have over 15 years of experience in dog and animal care with experience in puppy training as well. We love taking walks on our km of trails just beyond our backyard and a 10 minute walk to the ocean! We have a great outdoor space with a spacious home to stay warm inside. We can't wait to meet your fur family and share our cozy and clean oasis! I have plenty of time so share my day with your dog! I am available for weekday and weekend walks and can babysit and board on week days/weekends and over the holidays! I live in a very safe and clean neighbourhood. I have a partial fenced in backyard with lots of privacy and we are able to leash your sweet pups in our backyard. I have two children who are animal/dog lovers who are very comfortable with animals. I have a lower full walk out suite where our visiting pups stay! My home also doesn't require stairs if we've got a pup who has trouble. I am good with crate or uncrated pups and can trust your pup will not be without love and cuddles during their time here! Treats are included (with permission :)).

About: I’m lucky to have two amazing dogs in my life, Luna ( a lady of a certain age! ) she belongs to my son and when she comes to me for her “holidays” we enjoy long, leisurely walks and/or a lovely swim in the ocean! And lots of cosy, curled up on the couch time. Then there’s Molly- who is a sweet golden retriever puppy belonging to my daughter. I spent a wonderful summer with Molly in tow, at just 10 weeks old, everything was new to her and delighted her. Although our walks were short, we went often and Molly made many friends in the neighbourhood! My daughter lives in the Okanagan Valley therefore, sadly I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with “our” Molly. Having said that, I do have lots of time to spend with your precious canine! I love walking and believe I would be a great companion for your dog when you can’t be there. I will strive to walk in different areas to provide visual interest to your dog and take the utmost care of him/ her at all times. I prefer on leash walks but am more than happy to play off leash games in your back yard. If your dog requires medication, I’m quite confident with that - recently Luna needed a course of injections and I was able to do that with no problems and obviously, I can feed your dog if required. At the moment I provide 2 kitties with regular overnight care and drop in visits. One of whom is diabetic & requires daily medication. I have lots of flexibility at the moment. I can offer week day and weekend service and am happy to tailor the length/ type of walk to suit your dog. I prefer to offer one on one care to deepen my bond with your dog. I am excellent housekeeper & live “lightly” in my clients homes.

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

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.

“Highly recommend! Thank you both so very much!! You are kind, professional, and wonderful dog caregivers. I knew you both would have given him so much love and attention during our absence. Our pup was very happy when we came home. He was well cared for and very much appreciated the excellent communication and pictures throughout the care. We are looking forward to seeing you both again!”

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.

“Dorothy was very kind, I appreciated getting updates and pictures from her visit with my pups. She even took on my daughters little dog at the last minute which was so nice of her.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. I treat animals with respect. I have little well train dog from Mexico. Learning to train her has given me more confidence to handle other dogs. I’ve foster dogs several times and loved it. Your dog will be loved well cared for ❤️ Walks are in the morning (7am-10:30) and after 3 pm. One hour long and with or without my dogs company.
