“Lyndsey and James bonded instantly with our 17-old very shy feral cat, Lola. Their care was professional and complete...and we greatly appreciated their updates and pictures of Lola. We are looking forward to our next worry-free booking with them and we highly recommend Lyndsey and James to others.”


“We were so pleased to have our two cats stay with Janice and Doug for a week. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they received. We intend to be repeat customers!”


“Danielle was excellent while looking after our kitty during our week away. Danielle provided daily updates via photos/videos which we looked forward to. It was clear Danielle has much compassion and love for animals as she was in tune with Rubys needs. Eg: Noticed Ruby was getting lonely in the home and asked to turn the tv/ and light for her. Would absolutely ask Danielle to care for our girl again - we felt she was a great fit for our persnickety girl!”


About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. Most recently I trained a dog to mush. She is now living with my mother as a service dog for her social anxiety. My friends often lean on me to house and pet sit. I have a lot of experience with dogs who don't play well with other dogs or have some other kind of triggers. I am a tree planter and professional climber. My schedule is very flexible so I will be able to take care of your fur babies or just your house anytime 👍 Safety is a core value of mine in any aspect of my life. I will employ any safety measures required to take care of your pets.

“So happy that I found Rhaya to look after my cats while I was away on vacation! One is 18 and requires his meds and like a pro she made sure he got them. He also took quite the liking to her;) The other is very shy, an indoor/outdoor and she somehow managed to get her to come around to eat. Very rare with people she doesn't know! Upon meeting Rhaya I knew right away that she could be totally trusted and that my cats would be in the best hands. I had no hesitation in just leaving a key for her and it was so nice to get a quick message update daily after each visit. As well a few cute pics over the time period:) Professional, reliable and caring, I highly recommend her to all other pet owners. So grateful to have found my new regular cat sitter🙏”


About: Dogs and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have always had dogs and cats growing up. I also spent a large part of my childhood on my grandparent's farm where there was never a shortage of dogs, cats, and other farm animals. My most memorable pet growing up was a beautiful German Shepard, her name was Jade and she lived to be 14 years old. She and I spent a lot of time together, its safe to say she was my best friend. In my adult life, I have been missing the companionship and love that animals offer. I have not yet had the opportunity to get another pet since I have traveled extensively over the past 10 years. Upon moving to Victoria I have no plans of leaving any time soon and since I am a student Rover works well with my schedule. Im currently in school Monday to Friday 8:00am - 12:30pm to become a professional counsellor and my schooling is done via zoom. I am looking for house sitting/ dog walking jobs in the North Vancouver/ Lynn valley area. I am very professional, organized, clean, respectful, and mature! I have a huge heart for animals and I take their safety and comfort very seriously.

“This was our first time using a dog sitter...ever. I was very nervous about leaving our babies with a stranger. I was very glad to do a meet and greet before hand and knew right away that Jilly would be perfect. I felt confident that they were with some who would take really good care of them. We were able to chat, check in. She sent me some photos. I know for sure I will use her again.”


“Crysta was great with my senior lab Pearl! Crysta had a meet and greet before the drop in and both myself and my dog were very comfortable with her! She was flexible and understanding of a last minute plan change. Would definitely get Crysta to drop in on Pearl again :)”


“Rebecca was awesome, looking after our two bengal cats who can squabble with each other from time to time. She gave me the peace of mind to be able to go away, knowing our fur babies and house were in good hands. She sent us regular photos and updates and left our home in immaculate. Would recommend and we will be calling on her pet sitting services again!”


About: I have 10 plus years experience owning a dog and dog sitting for family and friends dogs. My dog is very active so I ensure we get out for 2 shorter walks each morning and evening to do their business and a longer afternoon walk rain or shine. We have had many great experiences having dogs stay with us. Must get along with our dog and be good with kids (we have 3 young kids). Dogs must be potty trained and adaptable to staying in our home (unfortunately we cannot accommodate dogs with anxiety/ separation anxiety as we have kids and a dog of our own and do not have the capacity to attend and spend too much time comforting extra attention). Work casually. I work around my partners schedule. I sometimes work evenings and weekends. I try not to book work if we have dogs staying with us to focus on the dogs. Between both of us someone is always home with the dogs. Semi fenced yard. If your dog is larger and or tries to escape they may be able to jump over the gate. Our dog never tries to but we usually take dogs we are caring for on leashed walks for the outside business. Trail walks in afternoon (prefer off leash but can do leashed walks if required). Cannot walk a larger dog that pulls and tugs on leash as I cant keep control of those dogs. We often allow dogs on couch and have had some on our bed - no longer allowed as we've had accidents and no longer can accommodate your dogs on our beds. Please send their own dog bed.

About: Perfect space for pets to come hang out. 1/2 acre beautiful yard with lots of cedar trees and racetrack. I am currently available fulltime. I am an automotive technician and build custom kitchens. I love to camp, fix, collect and repair projects. Raised with a dalmation my younger life. I can whisper all dogs so they are calm and happy. I love cats. Just me in a 5 bed 3 bath home after selling in Vancouver and moving to the Island. Im youngest of 5 kids with parents that are amazing! Dogs are always super happy to be here! They can explore the huge backyard any time! Im in this to spend more time with animals! I'm available full time to care for pets. Any work I do outside the home I limit too no more than 4 hours! I will bring pets along everywhere I go generally! Pets get the luxury of free roam in my home! They have a big fenced backyard to roam and play. As long there recall to come back inside when asked they get full privilege of going in and out as much as they want! After years of caring for animals I've learned so many safety strategies and precautions!

About: I grew up on a farm around lots of animals! Love to play! I spend quality time with the animals and want to meet your furry friend! Working a variety of shifts so have a random range of availability, shoot me a message and we will see what works! Open & flexible! I will help out with any tasks you need! I love to spend time with the animals, playing and taking care of their basic needs. I don’t mind doing the dishes and some cleaning tasks too!

About: We are a Young active family with plenty of yard space. Living in a rural setting which backs on to green space with abundant trails for dog walking. Quiet home with my husband, young playful black lab and kitty. We love animals and would love to help care for a well behaved pet. I am a nurse working with seniors in our community and Evan is a fishing guide during the summer season. We have both come from homes that love animals, especially dogs. We actively work with our lab to get him to be the most well behaved doggy on the block by regular exercise and training to do tricks. We love going out on nice long walks and playing out in the yard. Our pup would also love a companion to play with.

I highly recommend Matthew!”
