Elizabeth is wonderful with Lupe — she warmed up to her so quickly! Lupe always has a great time, and it’s a bonus that Elizabeth brings her dog since Lupe loves to play and make new friends :)

We can’t say enough good things about our experience. Our dog is a rescue and can be a bit cautious, but you took the time to build trust and made her feel so comfortable. She gets the perfect mix of exercise, attention, and care. Truly exceptional and highly recommended!

About: I grew up dog-sitting for families in my neighborhood and have been around dogs my entire life. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I love spending time with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and am available Monday through Thursday throughout the summer. I work part-time at a restaurant from Thursday to Sunday, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets during the week. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and consistent care to fit your pet’s needs. As I live in an apartment I’m unable to have dogs in my building, but I would be more than happy to come to your home whether it be for a dog walk or dog sitting!

About: The most important part of understanding an animal is reading their body language and observing their behavior. They tell us very clearly what they're feeling/needing. Once they feel understood, safe and sense the loving vibe, everything is calm. I have been an animal lover all my life, with both cats and dogs in my home. I have a very friendly, playful 2 year old mixed-breed dog who gets along with every dog he's ever met. He's gentle with the little ones and seniors and adores finding a dog friend with similar energy to wrestle and run with. If your dog is social, mine will make yours feel right at home. I do not have a fixed schedule, so I am flexible and have time to watch and ensure that everyone is happy and getting along. I have a large fenced yard and am close to several good trails and beaches. Every day will be filled with a fun dog adventure.

About: Grew up with three very stubborn terriers that required lots of structure and enrichment. Helped my family take care of them through all ages, from puppy to senior, including special caare such as medications I generally am able to work remotely with internet access as I am a graduatae student at UVIC. I have to be on campus Thursday & Friday 8-4 but I am able to return home to take for walks or bring to campus if pets are comfortable with that. I strive to provide the best environment for your pet and will do everything possible to ensure their comfort. I am unable to take pets into my own home, but I can provide outdoor time or make their own space as familiar as possible.

About: I’m new to pet sitting, but I have cared for my Miniature Dachshund for more than 10 years. I love dogs and often spend time whenever I can. I’m caring, responsible, and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets on my days off and during open hours. I truly enjoy spending as much time as possible with dogs and making them happy. In your home, I will make sure your dog feels relaxed, safe, and cared for. I will follow your walking routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions while respecting your home and space.

About: I've cared for many pets growing up. My cat, Cinnamon, has been with me for about 6 years now, and I very frequently care for my family's dog on and off for about 2-3 years. I'm currently studying full-time so I'm almost completely unavailable during the weekdays, but on weekends I'm super free to care for and love your fur-babies! I have a fenced yard with a good amount of grass, and my cat is either only in the upstairs of my house or adventuring outdoors! When checking up I'm totally understandable to leave pets to themselves (my cat is not the biggest cuddlebug) or give any attention they might want! (my family dog is an absolute velcro dog)

About: I adore all dogs and cats like they were my own. I have been told I have a special energy and bond with animals by many different people. I've lived with and cared for numerous animals over the years, unfortunately not having any of my own at the moment :( I have experience and comfortability with many various breeds, animal needs, disabilities, temperaments and personalities. I am an outdoor saavy, active individual with my own SUV that is dog friendly. Given proper permission and assurance I can take your pup on a fun adventure, or to meet other dogs. I love pet photography and would be happy to share many happy moments of my time with them. I have taken my Canine First Aid, volunteered for weeks at a time at dog rescue sanctuaries abroad and have completed many successful sits and walks over the years helping pet parents feel at ease and that their pet has been properly cared for. I guarantee to be respectful, cautious, and caring when sitting for your furry family. 🐶🐺🐱🐰🐹🐍🐴🐈🐩🐕🦙🐐🐦 My current schedule is very flexible, and when caring for pets they are my number one priority. I make sure to do my best to ensure timely meal and walk times. I am an attentive and adaptable individual, being able to gauge when an animal is in need of care or attention. Iike out animals we all need a proper routine, safety, regular food and water, exercise and affection. I make sure these needs are met in addition to some added playtime and mental stimulation.

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds for many years. Friends, family members, and neighbours have always trusted me to walk, feed, and give lots of attention to their pets while they are away. I have trained my own dogs as puppies, and have lots of experience working with with reactive/medically complex dogs. I am currently a full time University student. This leaves me with lots of time in between classes and at the end of the day to spend time with your animals! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their home. I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I take extra care to ensure their environment remains clean and secure, and I’m experienced in administering medications for pets with medical needs. My goal is to provide attentive, trustworthy care so both pets and owners feel at ease while apart!

About: My family adopted our dog from the SPCA, and caring for her has been a really meaningful experience for me. Over time, I’ve seen how love, patience, and consistency build a strong sense of trust and loyalty. I’ve also had the opportunity to dog- and house-sit many times, which has strengthened my confidence in caring for different pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am currently on summer holiday from university, so I have lots of free time to spend caring for others’ dogs, whether going for walks or housesitting. I provide care directly in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for, while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and organized during my stay.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and currently have two family dogs, a 9-year-old Border Collie x Coonhound and a 7-year-old Boston Terrier, both full of energy! I grew up around many animals and often would pet sit for friends and family. I love spending time outdoors and exploring new trails, and when I lived in Pemberton, I’d take my dogs on 7am hikes and often picked up neighborhood dogs to join us. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels, and I make sure to give each pet the care and attention they need. I truly love all animals and look forward to meeting you and your pet/s! I’m a full-time student at Camosun College, but my schedule is very flexible since my classes are spread out and only run Monday–Thursday. I’m usually out of my apartment for no more than 2 hours a day, so I have plenty of time to board animals, give them attention, and make sure their needs are met. Caring for pets also gives me the perfect reason to spend more time outdoors! I live in an apartment, but the complex has lots of open yard space for play and exercise. My favorite way to spend time with dogs is going on walks and hikes, and I’m happy to drive to nearby trails to make sure they get the activity they need. I’m very responsible and always follow any routines, rules, or training you have in place for your pet so they feel comfortable and secure. At home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles, and I make sure they’re never left alone for long. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’ll treat your pets like family and give them the care they deserve.

Was super responsive when booking. I really appreciated how she was able to do a last minute walk booking. My dog can be very reserved with strangers to a fault and it seems she warmed right up to her despite their first meeting not even having us there! She took extra care to get introduced and I can tell by the photos my doggo had a good time. Thanks again!
