Cat Sitting North Saanich

“This was our first time using Rover. Connecting with Carys to provide care for our two cats was a great experience for us. We found her to be very communicative, kind and punctual. We really appreciated the pictures and updates that she sent us to let us know how things were going. We would highly recommend Carys for anybody looking for care for their animals.”

“So grateful that Shelley was available for me to fly out for my mom's funeral, I didn't have to worry about anything. It was our first time together, I'm sure kitties will see her again. She gave the "problem child" the extra attention he needed.”

“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!”

“Devyn was awesome, very communicative and took great care of our dog. Thanks!”

For cats I am able to to provide a stay at my own hone. Our cat violet lost her best friend about a year ago and would love the company! However no dogs as my baby only likes cats :)

“We had a last minute request for drop-in sessions for my brother’s Big Bully Baby, Benny. My brother was away snowboarding and Benny was staying with my father, but was just too much dog for my father to exercise as he is having health problems. I’m on the mainland and couldn’t help out but luckily found Emma here, and she was able to go out and walk Benny and play with him two days in a row to get Benny out in the fresh air and get some energy out of him. She really saved the day and Benny loved his time with her. I wasn’t sure if I would find someone comfortable with Benny’s size and breed (even though he’s a big softie) so to have her come play and be comfortable with him was an extra blessing. Thank you so much!!”

About: Hey cute dogs and responsible dog owners! I am a german dog trainer and I miss working with dogs so much! Since I am here in Canada, I work part-time from home and unfortunately I am not allowed to have an own dog, where I live. For the past 8 years I worked with more than 45 dogs and I fostered more than 30 dogs in my own home in Germany (mostly rescues). I used to worked with three german animal protection associations as well. My specialties are: - leash pulling issues - creating a better bond and relationship between dog and owner - behavior in general - issues at home I can´t wait to meet you and your dog! I work part-time in my own business at home, so I am able to organize my own times, when I work. But ideal is after 11:30 am. I know, how to read dogs. I work with dogs all my life, even as a kid, I worked with dogs at german dog parks. I was the youngest trainer in my town, who ever worked with dogs. And mostly, I often like dogs better than humans - to be honest. Dogs are just amazing. I will always take care about the safety of the animal, that - for me - is job one. Also I won´t give anything to the pet (treats, toys), that I haven´t talked through with the owner beforehand.

About: Updated SUMMER 2026 SCHEDULE: Pet Sitting for all types of animals in YOUR own home 🐶😸 Pet Sitting in YOUR home Available 7 days/week 🐕😸🦎 Drop-Ins & Walks Available Mon-Fri after 5pm & anytime weekends. Please note, I offer services primarily in the Oakbay/Fernwood/Oaklands/Hillside/Downtown area. Pet Sitting requests outside this area may be declined or require extra fees. MY SUMMER 2026 SCHEDULE has been updated! Pet Sitting happens in YOUR animals own home to reduce stress and maintain your furry friend's regular feeding and bathroom routine. Animals can get dysregulated by change, just like humans! So this option allows your pet to skip the high energy and stress of kennels as I will be staying in your home and providing love and care for your pet day and night as requested. **Please note I work remotely from my laptop during the day. This means I will be multi tasking between computer work and phone calls, while also ensuring your animals are loved and cared for like they were my own by providing them care, feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks. Please provide parking and a WIFI password on the counter as I require internet access to work from home. Thank you! :) Drop Ins and Walks only offerred Mon-Fri after 5pm, and Weekends anytime. **Not offering care in my home at this time. About Me: I have two dogs of my own, as well as two bunnies, 6 chickens, a pig and two domestic pigeons. Therefore I am very familiar with animal needs and behaviors! I encourage any specific care needs be written down or messaged to me through Rover to ensure high quality care and detail can be given. Please note: ALL services are conducted WITHOUT my dogs or pets. Additionally, for safety purposes I do not interact animals from different houses. House sitting and walks are done for ONE household at a time, for safety purposes. Feel free to reach out with questions! :) I provide care in your own home, by taking them out for walks, to the bathroom, refilling food/water as needed. Since care is provided in your own home I will be home during the day and can be receptive to your pets needs and any specific care plans they may have. This ensures that while you are away your animals recieve consistent care and you recieve peace of mind. Feel free to ask me questions! ☺️

I am a Respiratory Therapist and also enjoy teaching yoga. I am available both for in house and out of house dog watching and dog walks, and please if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask! I would love to meet you and your animals! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile! I have quite open availability.

About: Hello! Canada is my 37nd country:) Although I am an engineer, currently I am giving online English lessons. p.s. I don`t have a car. Your furry kid will receive lots of bum pats while he/she is with me:) Please communicate if your furry child/ren have any medical conditions (vomiting every day etc.) before I accept your invitation. Make sure they are vaccinated on time and be given flea pills etc. Boarding/Housesitting: I have lived alone for many years so I am not bad at house chores and I am a tidy person. I had some plants at home (avocado, qumquat, calonche, cactuses etc.) Also, I have experiences on couchsurfing/airbnb/workaway and have many references there (~30 references/reviews in total). I can share my profile links with you if you wish. You can check my profile for further details:) Please leave a clean and tidy house for me with clean bedding. I do not expect hotel-like cleaning and I understand that there are cultural differences in terms of hygiene but I really don`t like breathing dust or seeing spider nets above my bed or stains in my bed/urine on the toilet etc. For me to leave your home clean before I leave, make sure that you leave cleaning products/cloths/paper towels/cloths etc., please. Also, please let me know if there is no hot water/no heating/unusual stairs/ladders that I have to use at your home. Warm wishes & looking forward to meeting you soon, Aylin I am currently unemployed and flexible. The only thing is that I don't have a car and cannot travel long distances to look after your pets. I have references in another volunteer pet sitting application. I can share the details with you if you like. I am not allowed to have a pet at my home but I can visit your home. You can talk to my previous pet parents to confirm my reliability.

My love for animals will never stop growing and I would love to add your pet to my list of animals to love!

“We chose Sarah because of her very positive reviews. There was even a review that stated she sprawled out on thin ice to save a dog from drowning. After Sarah took care of our two cats ,I totally believe that. Sarah was given the difficult task of injecting our 16 year old cat with insulin. Unfortunately, our cat was not cooperating, Sarah contacted us immediately. Her concern for Sox was obvious. She stayed until the situation was resolved. Dependability is the cornerstone of a person who should act as a rover sitter. Based on that, we will definitely have Sarah sit for our cats again.”
