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.
“Rhaya did a fantastic job looking after my little girl Lucy while I was away for a week. She was punctual on her visits and followed my instructions to the letter with feeding times, fresh water changes and litter box cleaning. She played with Lucy and kept her company twice a day which I was so grateful for. Rhaya went out of her way to ensure Lucy was safe, healthy and entertained so as to not feel lonely. She was quick to send photos and updates to ease my mind and always briefed me daily on how she was doing ie.feeding, bathroom and her overall moods. I am very pleased with Rhaya, she was professional and very caring. I would recommend Rhaya to anyone looking for a sitter for their family member while away, they would be in good hands.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Danielle is such a wonderful cat sitter. Not only did she come in and feed our cat but she spent time with her playing with her and giving her affection. We know when we call her in she will do a fine job enabling us to be worry free while we are away. I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the Parksville area.”
“Raven is a great pet sitter! She made sure to share lots of photos and videos while looking after our precious cat, Marge. Marge was very happy to make some new human friends, and get some TLC in while we were out of town. Thank you, Raven.”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle. Her welcoming home provided an excellent environment for my cat, Ollie. She thoroughly enjoyed observing the fish, birds, and even a bunny. Michelle went above and beyond to ensure Ollie's comfort by adding a cat tower a few days into her seven-day stay. She also sent daily photos of Ollie, which reassured me that she was safe and content during her time there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lyndsie is great to communicate with and we felt at peace knowing she was with our cat. We look forward to having her back next time we are out of town.”
“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!”
“Miranda is absolutely fantastic!”
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.
“Circe was a great host for our two cats and accommodated our booking request on short notice. Our cats clearly enjoyed their stay and Circe provided regular updates. Would happily book again with Circe.”
