Cat Sitting Oak Bay

“Lucy was fantastic with my dog Perla! It was her first time with a sitter, and she can be nervous around new people but Lucy had the magic touch and immediately made Perla feel comfortable. She was very communicative and made me feel reassured that Perla was well taken care of. If you're looking for a trustworthy sitter that's great with pets, Lucy is your girl.”

About: 💜 I am a kind and affectionate individual who treasures spending time with furry friends 💛 I adore spending quality time with pups and kitties of all breeds and sizes 🩵 I have a great amount of experience, having spent the last 18 months pet-sitting across Western Canada: across the Okanagan Valley, in and around Calgary, and now in beautiful Victoria My daily and weekly schedule is based around the kitties and pups that I care for 🐾 Whether I am pet-sitting in your home, dropping into your home for a visit, or collecting a pooch for their dog walk, my commitment to you and your fur baby is my top priority 💚 For me, following the instructions each pet parent provides is paramount 📝 Each four-legged friend (and their home) is different, so I will always tailor everything accordingly 🧡 Whether that's a more relaxed schedule for a senior feline or doggo, or a more active schedule for an energetic pooch 🐶😺

“5 stars isn’t enough. Diane’s fantastic. She’s communicative, and even sends a photo of my cat eating his food. I wouldn’t have asked, but the peace of mind is sooo nice. Will have her over again.”

About: Hello there, my name is Cass! I am a huge animal lover looking to help you take care of your animals! I currently separated from my kitty due to not having a pet friendly home so I would love to spend some time with your pets in your home! I can provide evening dog walking, and stay overnights. I have an early morning job but am usually available after 3pm and also available on my off days all day long! I have been caring for different animals for over 15 years including cats, dogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, and lizards. I am extremely reliable and easy going, with tons of references on my abilities on house and pet care. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I currently work full time, but I have tons of time in the morning and evenings for dog-walking. I am also open to living in your home while you are away to take care of your pets. Or even drop in check-ins to ease your mind while you are away I am a very trustworthy, attentive care-giver. You will have nothing to worry about if I am taking care of your pets in your home. I have strong attention to detail and will always make sure everything is safe and protected while in my hands

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! ☺️

“Richelle was a terrific cat-sitter for our cat Chester. He has a few issues and not the easiest food to prepare and Richelle did everything we asked and more. She was professional and friendly and made sure to give us detailed notes on her visits, how Chester was feeling/doing, etc. Would heartily recommend Richelle anytime and will certainly ask her to come back if she's available in the future! Thank you Richelle :)”

I will treat your pooch as I do my own, a member of the family who deserves the best. I offer complimentary sticks, ample squirrel & deer for observing. Woofever you prefer! I'm available most week days & wknds! As an early riser, early morning requests are most likely be approved. I do work a FT day job but do my best to accommodate any requests. Regular walks + trips to the trails or mountains in the surrounding area. Frequent outdoor time for regular bathroom breaks and sniffaris. Apartment living in lush green surroundings, in a dog vibrant neighborhood. A 4 year old neutered male Boston Terrier named Mr. Pickles lives here full time.

“We had a great experience with Lauren! She has excellent communication and experience, and sent us photos of our dog Yani during her visit and walk with him. He is a bit of a tricky dog, so we appreciated Lauren's background as a vet tech and dog owner - it all went great! We look forward to booking her again.”

About: I have hands on pet care experience through regularly house sitting over the past three years, where I cared for two cats during weekend stays. This included following detailed care instructions, feeding schedules, and providing companionship to keep them comfortable while their owners were away. I also have experience caring for a three-legged dog on and off since 2024, including feeding, walking, and ensuring she stayed happy and comfortable. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of routine, patience, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. I currently have a flexible schedule while completing online school, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for the pets I’m looking after. Since my coursework can be done remotely, I’m able to spend lots of time at home with pets, follow their routines, and make sure they receive regular walks, companionship, and care throughout the day. I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routines, keeping their environment clean, and paying attention to their individual needs and behaviours. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings to help prevent accidents, and I always take the time to make pets feel comfortable at their own pace.

“Marcia was so wonderful. She took good care of Fawn while I was away and left some cute Polaroids of their time together. I’ll be contacting her again next time 😻”

“Robin took wonderful care of my cat (Moon) while I was out of town. She was responsive through Rover and checked in on the timings we had scheduled when the weather got really warm - she had Moon’s best interest at heart!”

“Alexa was awesome! Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our dog and cat. Appreciated her consideration when accommodating changes in our schedule. Very professional and highly recommended.”

About: I’ve been caring for neighbors’ pets for over 6 years and grew up with family dogs that I routinely care for. I’m reliable, experienced, and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve—just like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m a nursing student with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate walks, feedings, and playtime throughout the day. I prioritize giving pets consistent attention and care, whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and calm environment. In your home, I respect your space and routines. I’m gentle, responsible, and make sure pets feel secure, whether I’m walking them or just keeping them company.

About: I love animals and spend a lot of time training, snuggling, brushing, playing with and spoiling my Aussiedoodle with treats. I come with a parent who has had animals her whole life and is very comfortable making sure your pup is well cared for. We have a flexible schedule with afternoon visits being the most convenient, but can be flexible. My 9 year old is keen to come as her first “job” however I work shift work and am available often during the day to fill in any gaps. We are mostly interested in visits to your home for cat or dog sitting. We are happy to provide what is needed based on your animals temperament and needs. Refilling food, snuggles, play, etc. as needed.

“Melanie is great with our three pets two dogs and a cat, she gives them massages and they are always happier after seeing her. She is great at communicating and does a great job. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pets cared for.”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah Rose, and animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for pets since I had my first cat at three years old, and my current little Yorkie is the absolute love of my life. I’ve also shared my home and cared for a senior dog who had diabetes, cataracts, and became blind, so I’m very experienced and comfortable with senior dog care, administering medications, and managing all the routines and special attention that come with supporting aging pets. From 2014 to 2021, I was deeply involved in the dog rescue and rehabilitation community in Mexico, working hands-on with both cats and dogs of all personalities and backgrounds. I gained extensive experience in dog training, especially with larger breeds and more challenging cases, learning how to read canine body language and create safe, supportive environments for every animal. I know pets are family, and my approach is always to care for your pet as if they were my own: with warmth, attentiveness, and respect for their unique needs and routines. Whether your companion is a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior needing medication and extra patience, you can trust me to provide responsible, compassionate care. I would love to meet your furry family member and help you feel at ease whenever you’re away. Please reach out if you have any questions or special instructions - I’m more than happy to accommodate all personalities, quirks, and care routines! As someone who works from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am almost always available to provide care and attention for your pets throughout the day. Taking my own dog for walks is truly the highlight of my day, and I love incorporating outdoor time and play into my routine. Because I’m home most of the time, I can offer plenty of companionship, regular check-ins, and a calm, reassuring presence for pets who need a little extra comfort or attention. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, day-care, or overnight care, I can easily adapt my day to fit your pet’s needs, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and well cared for no matter what. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces, regular supervision, and lots of love. I maintain a clean, secure space - removing any hazards and making sure pets are never left unattended outdoors. My own dog is gentle and well-socialized, and I always take the time to introduce pets slowly and ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and instructions closely, respecting your space and your pet’s unique needs. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I am attentive to details, mindful of doors, gates, and feeding routines, and always prioritize gentle handling and positive reinforcement. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as family: with patience, respect, and genuine care.

“Ava was fantastic! She was so easy to book with and accommodating. Nala loved her, and it was clear Ava spent quality time with her. She kept us updated on how Nala was doing and sent some great pictures. Anyone would be lucky to hire Ava to take care of their pets; she deeply cares about animals, and our (grumpy senior cat) Nala can't wait to have her back. Thank you Ava!”
