Dog Walkers in Port Alberni

“Anna was friendly, thoughtful and kind. She took just the right approach with my dog!”

“Carolyn is wonderful. Our dog, Roger, adores her - he always comes home happy, tired and clearly well cared for. She takes him on great off leash adventures and her communication is excellent. I always look forward to her updates and photos. We feel very lucky to have her, and Roger does too!”

Morganne F.

“Heather is awesome! She arrived right on time, my dog was happy to leave with her (which isn't always the case with a stranger) and met me back at my place early, at my request, when I messaged her saying I had returned early. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to all my messages. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

Danae D.

“Very quick to respond, very quick to come walk my dog. Punctual and awesome! Highly recommend”

About: Grew up on a farm with a dog- and been obsessed ever since! I am a Boston terrier lover at heart, but always wanted someone to have nearby that if I needed care that they too would love my dog like I did- as family. I’m super flexible for schedules and travel. I have my own vehicle, so I don’t mind picking up or dropping off. I can be available for vet appointments, ferry transport, and airport transport or just a good ol’ fashion cuddle and ball toss. I’m comfortable giving medication to the dogs if needed as I have cared for elderly pets too. I want them to feel safe and at ease, and reduce any stress- I want to offer them same love and care that I did with Brutus, and always wanted to have someone available to love my dog with the same love and care. But happy to learn about any specifics you have about your pets needs and quirks. ♥️

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover all of my life, I have a particular love for cats and dogs and have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own! I have a kind and compassionate nature and my goal in life is to pet as many dogs as possible. I have a soft spot for cats and would be happy to do drop on visits with playtime, feeding and litter box cleanings as well. If your cat likes to be walked, I can do that too! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends as well as earning your trust. Lastly I promise to treat your furry friends as if they were my own. If you have any questions feel free to ask! ( as a side note I can also feed, water and collect chicken eggs while you are away on vacation) My availability varies week by week, upon requests I can discuss availability and determine if I would be a suitable sitter for your pets. I do have a vehicle and can accommodate multiple drops ins during the day. In a clients home I would make sure I am caring for the animal as to not disrupt their normal routine. If a cat is sat at my home they will have their own kitty paradise in a spare room along with their food, water, litter. This is to ensure a low stress environment for all involved.

About: I am a pet lover through and through. My dog Norah is a snug bug and an adventure companion. I a very patient and attentive dog watcher. Whether your dog just loves a warm lap or a run in the woods, I will prioritized their needs. I am flexible with an active pup or a more shy and or protective dog. I am well studied in positive reinforcement and will assist in any areas you are working on with your four legged friends. 🐾 I live close to parks and the sea wall. I frequently visit North Shore trails for hikes and forest waks. I work four days a week very close to home and go home everyday to visit my pup at my lunch hour. I am active in the evenings and weekends and love to be outdoors when ever I can. Daily park walks and weekend hikes are a guarantee I offer strength based conditioning and consistent commands. I would offer to find out what each dog needs and modify based on client’s preferences. With my dog I am persistent and consistent and offer treat and love based reward for a job well done. For instance: Norah gets a dried fish after every successful walk when she does her business outside!

About: I grew up working in farming. Sheep and cattle. I’ve owned and extensively worked with Border Collies, Great Pyrenees and Maremmas. I have since moved into town and own a french bull dog and a lovely cat. I love spending time with dogs, caring for dogs and taking them on fun outings. I work part time with a flexible schedule and have plenty of time and energy to care of fluffy friends. I am very active and frequent the many walking trails and hikes in the area on a daily bases with my dog Francis. I believe nearly every activity of daily life is more fun with an animal in tow. I have a large fully fenced yard and a large five bedroom house. No small children. I have a well mannered french bulldog and a lovely cat. They are very well socialized. I would prefer to pet sit in my own home but am happy to also go to yours.

About: Retired veterinarian with decades of experience with cats and dogs. I currently have my own dog (Boxer) who is great will all other dogs. Yard is not currently fenced but that project will be completed in 2026. So leash walks are provided. Home backs onto a green space so there are good opportunities for walks. I often plan day trips to provide additional walking experiences. I also have 2 Siamese cats in the home. I work part-time from home 2 days a week, so the rest of the week lets me available to any animals that are staying here. Currently, with the yard not being fenced, leash walks will be provided. Familiar with and capable of providing any required medications if applicable. Can provide more frequent meal breaks (my Boxer has 3 meal breaks to help maintain weight).

“Raven was super fast to respond and available on short notice. I was happy she was open to a quick meet and greet with our dog before she walked him the next day. She sent lots of adorable photos from the walk. Very great first time experience on Rover!”

About: I’ve been very fortunate to get to spend my life around animals, and each one has brought so much joy and purpose to my days. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve cared for furry friends of all ages and personalities, always striving to understand and meet their unique needs. Whether it’s ensuring they get plenty of exercise, sticking to their feeding routine, or providing extra cuddles, I make their happiness my priority. I take pride in anticipating their needs—whether it’s noticing when they’re ready for a water break during a walk, spotting when they’re feeling anxious, or offering an extra blanket on a chilly night. My goal is to make sure your loved ones feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away, giving you peace of mind. I'm a retiree, living independently without pets of my own to care for, due to roommate allergies. I have a reliable vehicle and am available for house/pet-sitting both in the Courtenay/Comox area and Tsawwassen/Delta (where my daughter lives). Needless to say, my schedule is flexible and I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's schedule. At this time I am unable to care for pets in my home however, I am very flexible in caring for your furry loved ones in their home, where they're most comfortable :)

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple house pets & got my first dog at 15. I hike with my dogs every weekend with long walks during the week. I got into pet sitting after I dog sat for friends and family for years. I have experienced with multiple different behavioural and medical needs (pets in diapers, needles for diabetes, heart medications, reactive large breeds, etc) & a wide range of experience caring for different types of animals including cats, dogs, ferrets, sugar gliders, farm animals, etc. Growing up on a farm, I have experience caring for larger animals as well. I treat each animal like my own and can cater to the needs of each individual pet. I work as a homeless outreach worker for CMHA. My husband is a car salesman at Van isle FORD. I like to let my pets out at least every 2 hours, but we also spend lots of time outside. I spend most my time outside of work with my dogs, going on hikes, walks, swims or participating in one of my favourite sports. I have a large 2 story home so there’s lots of room for animals if they are inside. If they aren’t, that’s okay too. I live on 3/4 of an acre and have a fully fenced yard with two separate spaces if there’s multiple pets. I have 2 amazing dogs at home - one who loves to have some company, and although the other one rules the house, she steers clear of other pets. My cat is basically a dog, he’s the best.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am gentle with pets and pets usually love hanging out with me . I am working full time and available on weekends or statutory holidays. I can also be available on Friday evenings if needed . . . I will follow pet owners instructions about the schedule of their pet. I will keep in mind the safety and sanitation of pet owners home

“Danielle is super friendly and obviously loves dogs. My dogs had a great time on their walk and we look forward to lots more walks in the future!”

Jennifer T.

“Rhaya was great with my 2 doodles. She took them for a full hour walk around our area, on short notice, and they returned tired and happy. Very pleasant and punctual.”

Cindy V.

“Dorothy was very dependable and friendly. Winnie enjoyed her day at Dorothy’s home. Winnie went on a 1 hour walk and felt very comfortable with Dorothy. I will rebook for sure!!”

Brianne S.

“Kelly was amazing. If you want your dog to have the best experience, use Kelly. I used her when I was working a long day and couldn't get out to walk my dog. She came and picked Myra up from my work and took her for a walk. Myra absolutely loved her and was a tired dog after, huge help on a busy day. Will be using Kelly again for sure!”

Jacquie H.

“Cherese has been amazing. She’s incredibly accommodating (coming all the way to me in Cumberland from Merville, plus several other things!) and has a great understanding of dog behaviour. She has her own two pups, and made sure it was okay if she could bring one of them along for Alder’s walk. It’s clear she cares a lot for animals, and wants to ensure that her clients get solid feedback after every walk. Alder has seemed so much happier and fulfilled this week vs before the walks with Cherese. Very happy I found her profile :)”

About: We've grown up in homes full of love and animals. With this we've learned much about animal care and would be honored if you entrusted your pets with us. I've recently had to take time off work for the foreseeable future and would love to fill my spare time with animals and adventure. All animals welcome.. We live in a large house near Departure Bay ferry terminal with a fenced back yard and many safe spaces. Our roommates cat Mr Moons mostly keeps to himself.

About: Hello, My name is Tara! I am a customer service representative and dancer on the side, and I'm also a huge animal lover! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me so compassionate towards every fur baby; I have a sense for dogs especially. I had a 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer/Terrier for almost 10 years who has passed on December of 2021. He was my life. Now I vicariously live through the fur babies I get to spend time with and spoil my favourite little frenchie niece! My favourite thing to do is go out and find new and exciting spots to hike on beautiful Vancouver Island. I've pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work part-time and I’m very active so I have lots of time to take out your dog to various hiking spots all over! I live in a safe neighbourhood and place right off Long Lake. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and feels loved and cared for.
