House Sitting in Parksville

“At first we were nervous to let someone we don't know stay at our home, but Kylee arranged to meet us a few days earlier to introduce herself, which put all of the uncertainty aside. She is friendly, courteous, and I had no doubt she would take good care of Josie, Jenny and Thandi...and of course our home. To look after 3 dogs, one still a pup, is a tall order, but Kylee was a real trooper and did an amazing job! She communicated well and kept up us up to speed with how they were doing during our trip. Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy. We will certainly make use of your services again :-)”

“Natalie provides exceptional care to our busy puppy. She communicates with the dog owner and gives frequent care updates. Our family feels confident leaving our pup in her care.”

“Kayla is terrific. She kept in touch, texting regular pictures to me of Freddy enjoying his time with her. This was important as I had never left my 5 year old Frenchton with anyone for this long before and I was missing him terribly. Knowing that he was happy and Kayla was there allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. When I got home the house was spotless and both Freddy, and my cats Oliver & Kizzy were happy, healthy and had been well-loved. Kayla was also very gracious, thanking ME for letting her care for my pets! Thanks Kayla, I'd have you back in a heartbeat!”

“5 stars all around for Janean. We had her house sit for over a week and came back to happy dogs and a clean house. Couldn't ask for a better Rover experience. Thanks so much!”

“Trinity was great with our pet Millie. She was always quick to respond to any messages, and kept us informed of any issues with the house while we were away as well. Thanks trinity!”

“Azura was so amazing with our girl! She sent updates and pictures and was extremely accommodating - she last minute over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day took Harley for an extra night when all the ferries were cancelled and we couldn’t get back. Thank you for making our first rover experience so wonderful!! Definitely recommend”

“Jilly had a sleepover and looked after my 2 pups while I was out of town. My first time leaving them over night with a sitter. I felt 100% confident they were in good hands and would be well looked after. Will definitely be booking with Jilly for any future travels. Thank you ❤️”

“Tara fulfilled our list of requests with no problem or miscommunications! Our dog is reactive so it’s important to be able to leave him with someone we trust. He loved his time with Tara and we will definitely be booking again! She was extremely polite and easy to work with and left our house clean and tidy.”

About: We have had pets our entire life. Now retired and travel a few months a year, so currently without a pet because of our travels. Missing the love of our own pets (Scruffy lived to 17 and Cedes lived to 16). So we have decided that the love of your pets, would be lovely and would benefit all involved. We live 2 blocks from the beach, which gives the dogs a great run and or swim permitting of course :) My wife and I are both retired and walk to the beach everyday, would be nice to have a dog to walk with us. For the evenings it would be nice to cuddle up to a dog or cat. We live on the bottom floor of a pet friendly building, with access to a yard. We do have a wrap around deck with a 2 foot brick wall/planter that is gated to large partially fenced yard. Pics attached. We both have knowledge of caring for both dogs and cats.

“Nicole sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated through her stay. She also left my house clean and tidy - Thank you!”

“Diane has looked after my cat, Ewok, countless times. The level of care she provides is outstanding and my cat loves visiting her because she gets lots of attention and playtime! My cat also has IBD and sometimes needs medication and this is never a problem. Diane seems to really understands animals and what they need and goes out of her way to create a safe and comfortable space for them.”

“We returned from a 10 day trip to a calm and happy cat and a spotless house! Ally communicates quickly and consistently. We will definitely ask her back.”

“Arantxa is amazing and very connected with animal. A real dog and cat mum. She use to hide street animals in her room when she was a teenager. Strongly recommend!”

“Hi! I’m Koda and I just wanted to say what a great time I had with this new human named Vaughn! She was awesome!! She played with me, fed me, gave me treats, gave me belly rubs and nice long walks! She spent extra time with me and got me a stuffy named Occy! I pretty much shook the dickens out of it! I would love to have her doggie sit me again!! From Darryl and Denise: if you love your pets like we do, I would 100% recommend Vaughn! She was outstanding. From our initial meeting, you could see her love and attention she would give Koda. Our trip to the mainland was just that more enjoyable, having the piece of mind! She sent us regular updates over the two days, which were hilarious by the way!! The house tidy and well kept, and by the looks of the treats and toys left for him, we could tell we had one happy pooch!!”

“My experience has been amazing Cuddles was so well cared for I could have not had a better experience. Home stay was perfect! Will repeat.”

“Joanna and Mark stayed for one week in our home and cared for our high energy/anxious dog and laid back cat. They exceeded all expectations! Both are incredibly kind, caring and responsible people. Their #1 priority was the wellbeing of our pets, and they strived to make sure they were happy and healthy. Our dog and cat quickly fell in love with Joanna and Mark. They provided morning and evening updates along with photos to help put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Our home was treated with respect, and we returned to a sparkling clean house! We highly recommend them, and look forward to having them stay again in the future.”

“Gabriel B is an intelligent and caring young man who loves animals and has been around pets all his life. Alongside an assortment of dogs and cats, he has cared for farm livestock including poultry and sheep. Gabriel is polite and punctual. In addition to his work with animals, he has also acted as mentor and coach at his local sports facility, and earned himself an excellent reputation in that capacity. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a responsible and experienced pet - sitter or dog - walker.”

“Both our dog and cat loved Kayla, and they enjoyed having her spend the day at our house. We were happy to receive photos while we were away. Thanks Kayla!”

“Lauren took wonderful care of our dog while we were away at a wedding. She arrived perfectly on time and went above and beyond leaving our home in sparkling shape. We recommend Lauren highly.”

“Rhaya is just a fantastic dog/house sitter. We’ve booked her multiple times and love that we can be away completely worry-free knowing our pup and home are in great hands. 10/10 recommend.”
