Pet Sitting Oak Bay

“Monet did an amazing job taking care of our two cats! She is very trustworthy, quick to respond, and sends lots of great photos. It was clear from the photos that she spent lots of time playing with them and swapping out toys. She even took the time to vacuum around the litter box. It’s clear she loves animals and is very responsible - we’d 100% recommend her!”

“Richelle was great with my cat, Cocoa! Very responsive and thoughtful. She sent great updates and photos each day while I was away letting me know how Cocoa was doing.”

About: I’ve cared for many pets since childhood, giving me decades of hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. I offer calm, reliable care making pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. And yes, dogs think I’m hilarious, while cats simply tolerate me — I respect the dynamic. I’m here for the zoomies and the drama! Calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious pets who need a soft, reassuring presence. I stick closely to feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and walk preferences so pets feel secure and comfortable. I always send warm, detailed updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel right at home, treated with the same patience, gentleness, and respect I give my own… plus a little extra, because I speak fluent “treat” and I’m an unlicensed but highly skilled cuddle dealer! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m not working at the moment, so your pet basically becomes my coworker — and honestly, they’re way better company. I’m able to give pets my full attention. I keep a flexible schedule for drop‑ins, daycare, and walks, and I’m available to follow each pet’s specific routine, from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and calm companionship. Pets get consistent care, plenty of interaction, and a reliable presence throughout the day. Drop-ins at your home: I keep things consistent by following their established schedule, giving pets calm companionship, enrichment, and plenty of attention. Walks are safe, paced, and full of sniff‑approved adventures. Daycare is a mix of play, rest, and gentle supervision. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, cozy environment, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and whatever routine makes them feel most at ease — from free roaming to crating if that’s their comfort zone.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets for around 15 years now, through friends, family, and neighbors. I also have a beagle back home with my parents who I look after when they are away and when I lived with them. I helped train him since he was a puppy, teaching him recall and providing loving care. I absolutely adore dogs but don’t have a good space at my place for one long-term. I am currently working a full-time hybrid schedule between 7 AM to 6 PM with weekends off. My availability is typically in the evenings during weekdays or throughout the day on weekends. I do volunteer frequently and I may need to block off certain dates based on events in advance. When caring for pets, I make sure to use patience, a clear voice, and excitement. I also always keep in mind the different needs of each dog and act accordingly.

About: My assistant, Kevin (our dog), and I are happy to hangout with your dogs when you need a sitter. Good with all dogs from puppies in training to senior dogs needing extra love. Currently working from home full time so lots of time to spend with your pets. Have a 2 year old dog at home with me so your dog will have a friend to play with the whole time. Have a fenced backyard with lots of space for your dog with relax and explore. We live close to lots of parks and trails for walking and hiking adventures.

About: I currently have a Sphynx (high maintenance cat breed with very specific needs) so I’m comfortable with tailored routines, diet restrictions, and reading an animal’s particular quirks.. I also grew up with dogs (multiple Border Collies) so I know the energy and exercise they need too. Whether your pet wants constant attention, space, or a specific routine, I adjust to what actually works for them :) I am currently working part time, so I have free time in my week and would love to drop in and take care of your animal(s). Typically I work Thursday-Saturday, but am happy to accommodate as best I can if you need support during those days. In your home, I stick closely to their feeding schedule, walks, and any specific instructions, staying attentive to their comfort in their own environment throughout each visit. *I have a cat in my home, (2 bd duplex house). I am happy to have your pet stay in my home if they’re patient/friendly towards cats and my cat gets along with them -would need to discuss/meet & greet prior to me hosting*

About: I am my friends’ go to dog sitter and have done overnight sitting with multiple doggos! I’ve never owned a dog but have been in a cat household my whole life.

Very much interested in travelling out of town to sit so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I work Monday to Friday with the ability to work from home most of the time!

About: I have always grown up with animals - dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragons.. and have house sitted and cared for friends animals (and plants!) across England, Australia, USA and Canada. I am an avid hiker and also city stroller - keen to take your dog on a big hike or little guy on a stroll along the beach. Happy to practice commands and any tricks youve been teaching your guy. I am taking the winter off from my usual line of work, so my schedule is fully open. I co-parent two cats with my partner in Victoria, BC and have been missing the companionship of some dogs around me. I like going for long walks almost every day after recently completing the PCT and happy to bring your dog along for some of my longer or shorter walks. I am a routine loving person and happy to adapt to your already established routine with your pet. I can keep things comfortable and consistent, from the length of walks to feeding time. Beyond pet care im happy to bring your mail in, water your plants and keep your place clean and secure.

About: Hello there, my name is Cass! I am a huge animal lover looking to help you take care of your animals! I have a very calming energy and do well with dogs who might struggle with anxiety or can be initially reactive when meeting new people. 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 out of the house, which means I can be out of the house for up to 8 hours at a time. If your dog cannot be left for that long I may not be the best fit. I have some flexibility to drop in mid day if certain situations require it. I am a very experienced house-sitter which means I will “move in” to your home and take care of your pets as my own! Walks/feedings/medications all a priority while also staying the night for companionship. 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

“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!”

“Rebecca is wonderful and trustworthy. She comes almost every week and looks after our puppy so well. We would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was a little girl! I always wanted to own a dog or a cat, but grew up with guinea pigs. My piggies were an anchor in my life and taught me lots about little animals and caring for them (although I did not know how much cleaning was required 😭). When I started working at petsmart in their grooming salon, I thought working with dogs was going to be super fun and fulfilling. I was definitely not ready for how much work and learning I was going to go through. After I’d been there for about a year, I learned all about grooming (including baths, brushing, nail trims, paw grooming) and how important it was for all the different breeds of dogs. I loved the experience I got from grooming dogs and learning different signs of stress (critical and non critical), different types of brushes for breeds and so much more! Now, I’ve been working at a doggy daycare for about a year, and I’ve extended my experience with dogs to seeing how they play, how they fight, how they get along and become friends. I’ve learned so much about body language, how to differentiate different behaviours and anticipate situations before they happen, and learn to regulate my own emotions in such a big space with lots of dogs. I care for the smallest chihuahas to the biggest bernese alongside my coworkers, as well as the 5 month old puppy that comes in to learn to socialize, and the 12 year old senior who has been with us since the beginning, and I could not be happier anywhere else! I also have the privilege to care for 15+ dogs at a time in a fully fenced area in the forest as their outdoor adventure. I drive a big van with my little friends in the back, and I supervise their play time, their behaviours with the other dogs and their own emotions while being out there! I love all sizes and all ages, and continously learn more about these pups every day 🤍 I am working part time, so I have lots of free time outside of work! I love to hangout with friends and stay at home, but with this free time, I’d love to care for a pup or cat near me in the city :) A fun fact about me is i’m trilingual! Is your dog trained/only understands a different language? You’ve found the right sitter - I speak fluent Spanish and French. At your house where your dog or cat feels most comfortable, I’d love to keep them company while their parents are away! We’d have plenty of play time, walks, and cuddles if they’d like. Dogs are as emotional and even more than humans, which is why they always need someone by their side ❤️

About: I’ve worked with dogs my entire life, between my own personal dogs and volunteering at the SPCA. I’ve worked professionally with dogs for the past 2.5 years, including specializing in reactive dogs. I currently am self-employed, so I have a ton of time to watch your furry friends! I love doing longer visits so that we can get to know one another. I am trained in both canine CPR and canine body language. I have over a year in training with reactive dogs and reactive dog training.

About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including caring for my own dog throughout her life and providing dog-sitting services since 2023. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I understand that every pet has a different personality, energy level, and comfort zone, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other daily routines. I also enjoy sending photos and updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet with the same patience and respect I would give my own. As a graduate student, I have a flexible weekly schedule and plan my pet care bookings around my classes and other commitments. I keep my calendar updated and prefer recurring bookings whenever possible. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can provide reliable, attentive care while respecting each pet’s routine. For drop-in visits, I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s routine, safety, and comfort as my priorities. I make sure doors and gates are secure, provide fresh water and food as instructed, supervise pets throughout the visit, and leave the home clean and secure. I also send photos and updates so owners know how their pets are doing.

“Holly was seriously amazing! We booked her last minute due to a trip to Sweden and a last minute medical emergency with our cat, putting him on a few medications. She sent us updates everyday that were detailed and helped us so much. I am beyond grateful for what she did for us. Thank you so much Holly!”

“Thank you, Michelle and Evan! Your kindness and the way you care for cat made us feel completely at ease leaving Nagi in your care. We’d absolutely love to have you look after him again next time!”

About: Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I am passionate about caring for dogs, and have two of my own. If you need someone reliable, loving, and caring dog walker, I'm here to help! Whether it’s long walks in the park, quick potty breaks, or just hanging out to make sure your dog feels loved and comfortable, your pup will be in good hands. I’m a proud dog parent to two amazing dogs, including my 3 year old Golden Retriever, who loves making new dog friends! I’d love to take your pup on some fun, safe walks alongside mine. It’s always a blast when my golden has a buddy to join her on her adventures, and I’m happy to welcome a friendly dog into the mix. Please note: Unfortunately, I’m unable to accept reactive dogs, as I want to make sure every walk is a positive experience for everyone involved. Here’s what I offer: - Walks that match your dog’s energy (from chill to high-energy) - I’ll send you photos or videos so you can see how your dog’s doing while you’re busy - Flexible times that work with your schedule - Experience with all types of dogs—puppies, seniors, and everything in between I’m currently off work for the summer (July and August), so my availability is flexible. In September, I’m available on weekend walks, as well as weekday evenings. Your pup will be treated like family, and I’ll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to stay happy and healthy.

“Sarah is wonderful! She is my go to for all my pet sitting needs. She’s great with dogs and cats, is super communicative and reliable. I recommend Sarah 100%.”
