House Sitting in North Saanich

“Shelley looked after our two dogs for 3 days and two nights. The dogs really enjoyed their time with her. Shelley’s communication was great before during and after, she sent us regular updates and photos which we really loved. You can tell instantly that Shelley is kind and loves animals. We will definitely use her services again 🙂”

“Robynn was amazing with our dog! Penelope felt comfortable with her immediately. She sent us photos and updates throughout her stay. She even put the bedding through the wash before she left, which was not expected but very much appreciated:) will definitely be booking with her again.”

I offer dedicated, full-time care to your home and pets (no charge for 1 extra dog) throughout Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands and Main Land (Negotiable).

Beyond that, I genuinely enjoy caring for your home. It brings me real joy to help wherever I can—exceptional cleaning, gardening and landscaping, organizing cupboards, or simply taking care of things I notice need attention. If something needs doing, I do it. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away and return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet—and a few thoughtful surprises that make your life a little easier. Thank you for trusting me with your home and your beloved companions. What sets me apart?

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!

“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!”

About: I have been pet sitting for my fur buddy Oscar since puppyhood and love it. I have also cared for friends and neighbors dogs for many years and am always interacting with dogs when given the chance. I am always learning and enjoy tips from all sources and am looking to enroll in dog first aid course when i can. I recently took early retirement and looking to expand my interest in dog and cat care .I enjoy the outdoors and photography ,so dog walking is perfect ! I frequently have care of a dog in my home and also occasionally care of a neighbors senior dog when at my parents home and have never had any issues with feeding/special requirements. I also frequently cat sit for a good friend and enjoy it thoroughly. These animals have all become good buddies with me and i find it very rewarding

“Chris looked after our small farm for 10 days. He was awesome with our dogs (2), 2 birds, 4 guinea pigs and 1 lizard. The house also look amazing when we got home. I would highly recommend Chris to care for your pets.”

About: I have always had a huge passion for animals and knew that they would be apart of my career. I also have experience working with fish, reptiles and small animals. I began dog sitting as a favour to friends and family and have enjoyed it so much that I want to continue doing it as much as I possibly can. My love for animals will never stop growing and I would love to add your pet to my list of animals to love! Please message me if you have any questions or corncerns, I am very flexible and available whenever needed. I am working towards becoming a full time pet caretaker. I have learned a lot from working with other dog walking companies and in my career working with marine species. I am able to come to your place and take your dog for a walk or house/dog sit. I am also available to care for cats, reptiles and fish.

About: I take care of all animals as if they’re my own! I’m very observant and want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m working part-time and I love any opportunity to get out of the house and meet friendly furry faces. My schedule is open and my hours are very flexible. Your pets safety and happiness are most important to me. I will tailor my care to the needs of your pet no matter how specific.

About: Hi! I'm a full-time cat mom of two wonderful kitties, Iggy & Hans. Unfortunately they make the rules around here, so I'm not allowed dogs at my place. But, I'm more than happy to watch your dog in your home :) If you have cats or other pets I am also happy to look after them as well / as needed. I grew up with 2 beautiful Newfoundlands and a Heinz variety. I'm a huge animal lover, and I have experience with young pups/senior dogs, and have experience providing medication to both dogs and cats. I work remotely 4 days a week, so I'm more than happy to work from your home for the duration of the sit. I love to walk, and have done sits for both active and low energy dogs. I'm prepared to walk 20K steps a day if that's what your dog likes, but I'm also more than happy to cuddle up on the couch for hours! Working from your home could mean before work, lunch time, and after work walks. I can let your dog out as needed, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy going in and out of the backyard! As a pet parent who loves to travel internationally (most recently in Cambodia), I think about my cats multiple times a day and I enjoy getting random photos throughout the day. I also understand how stressful and hard it can be to trust someone with your pet. Happy to provide as many updates as you'd like! Or, if you'd prefer, I can stick to sending an update every few days or reach out only should I have any questions or concerns. I've been known to send out a little video or photo diary at the end of the sit, because who doesn't like to see what their pet was up to:) I'm also happy to do some extra tasks like water plants/take out garabge or recycling, receive mail etc!

“Jessica did a wonderful job caring for our two little dudes, and our place. She provided regular updates, spent time getting to know and understand the boys, and gave them the attention and enrichment they needed. Even introduced them to classical music. Would highly recommend Jessica for your cat and house sitting needs.”

“Emily was fantastic! She sent videos and messages throughout the week to show us how Hazel was doing and she kept Hazel super entertained with trips to the beach, and meeting farm animals. Would highly recommend Emily and would definitely have her petsit again in the future.”

Potty breaks 3x a day. Your pet will be in the same room as me and my dog Lucy. They will get lots of cuddles, pets, and walks while in my care.

I have tons of references, I am reliable, trustworthy, quiet and your house, dogs/cats will be in excellent care while you are away. References available.

“From the moment I met the dogsitter, I knew I could trust them. They were incredibly patient and understanding, especially since I wasn’t sure at first if I needed to cancel. I’m very particular about who cares for my dog, but they made me feel completely at ease right away. They treated my pup and kitty like family, and I felt truly reassured that Nero and Gaetano was in good hands. Nero is usually very picky about eating, but he had no problems at all while in their care — which really speaks volumes. Very kind and caring humans. I highly recommend them!”

“Chantal was wonderful. My pups were well cared for and my home was spotless when I returned. Chantal took the time to set the routine with the dogs and I could tell she understood their needs and quirks and made sure they were comfortable. I would absolutely have Chantal back again!”

“Aly was great at taking care of my two small dogs. I had a conference in Vancouver so I was out for two days. Not only was she great at letting me know the status of my dogs, pictures videos and proper communication, but she also kept the house super clean and when I came back, things were cleaner than before! Hats off to an amazing service experience by Aly. I recommend her 100%.”

“Dani was awesome. She made time to pre-meet us and the dogs in the midst of our crazy snowstorm and terrible roads, which put us at ease. She is mature and calm. She communicated well while we were away (sending pictures), was flexible and accommodating when our return plans changed, and in general was a pleasure to work with. She had to juggle three dogs, so I feel we put her through the paces and she came out on top!”

About: I have owned and cared for all sorts of animals professionally my entire life. While pursuing my Bachelor's degree I continued to work with animals and study animal welfare and behaviour. I take great pride in my attentive nature and promised to go above and beyond for your pet! For the past 5 years I have specialized in senior and special needs care, ensuring that medication and therapeutic schedules are maintained while the animal's main caregiver is away. Above all, I love all animals and want to make sure that your pet is as happy as can be! I am also available to provide training and/or continue training plans for your pets so they never skip a beat! I ride and train horses professionally so I am home all day and all my pets have an active play area outside while my hands are full with the horses. Your pet will enjoy a "farm feel" house sit where their days are filled with hands on walking and hands-free play. All the pets sleep inside and are welcome to sit on the couch while we wind down with an episode of TV or two! I have a fenced yard with grass and dirt for your pet to play in. I also am comfortable with special needs cases that need to be inside or that are unable to play off leash.
