House Sitting in Port Alberni

“We would definitely book Shelley again to care for our fur baby. She took such great care of her and our house was spotless when we came back. She gave us updates and we could tell our cat was comfortable and content with her. She even gave us an amazing scratching post and self cleaning litter box that are practically new.”

“Anna was great with our furry and feathered family. She communicated early and made sure to ask important questions so we felt very comfortable leaving our 2 frenchies in her care. She gave them lots of attention and walks and they seemed relaxed and happy when we got home. The house was tidy and everything was very well cared for. We hope to have Anna back!”

“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: Are you looking for more than just a "sitter"? I’m a Registered Nurse and an outdoor enthusiast who treats every dog like a member of my own family. Since I don’t have any dogs of my own right now, your pup will receive 100% of my attention, cuddles, and energy! ​Why Choose Me? ​I don’t just "watch" dogs—I provide an active, engaging lifestyle while you’re away. Whether it’s at my house or yours, your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. ​The Ultimate Play Space: I live on a fenced triple lot with massive room to run. Plus, we are right next to a large open field—perfect for endless rounds of fetch with their favorite ball or stick. ​Trail Ready: I am an avid hiker and love being on the trail. We are located right by the Cherry Creek Trail, so your dog will enjoy scenic, long walks and plenty of fresh air. ​RN Peace of Mind: With my background as a Registered Nurse, I am calm under pressure, highly observant of health needs, and experienced in following strict medication or dietary schedules. ​Services: In-home sitting or your home,dog walking, and adventure hikes. ​Environment: Smoke-free, secure, and full of love. ​Requirement: I take on a limited number of furry clients to ensure everyone gets the "family member" treatment. ​Your dog deserves a vacation as good as yours! I enjoy staying active with my pets and will take your dog on a walk and hike ( if they are able) My usual routine is between 1-3 walks per day with a hike at lunch time. I have a triple lot that is fenced and live by Cherry Creek where I can take your pup on walks! Please pm me for more information

“Keah was an excellent sitter for our little pup Garrix. Very responsive and went above and beyond to look after him. We’d be more than happy to book her again”

“Kristin took wonderful care of my three pets. It is very hard to find trustworthy care when you have pets, let alone pets with special needs and Kristin kept them safe and happy.”

“Richelle was an amazing pet sitter for Peggy Sue, Billie Jean and James.. We had no worries while we were away. They loved playing with little Aria and Richelle sent us videos everyday to assure us that our doggies were having a good time and being cared for.. If you are looking for a caring person to look after your pets, I would recommend Richelle as a pet sitter..”

“Kim is an awesome and reliable pet sitter. She took care of my two cats and was very kind and patient with them. She was also responsive and understanding with me. Highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter!”

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 have over 10 years of experience in caring for dogs and cats. I have had a deep love for animals since I was a young child! I currently have a male basset hound named Flash who is now well into his senior years. He loves other dogs and still enjoys his daily walks. I also used to have a cat and I have lots of experience house sitting for friend’s cats. I am currently attending college online and am available 24/7. I live at home with my mom and my dog. I am interested in dog walking if you are in my area, as I don’t have a car. As far as boarding goes, I have a spacious yard for dogs to play and there are plenty of walking trails close to my home. My yard is partially fenced in and backs onto an alleyway with very minimal traffic. Your pets will always be supervised during their time in the yard.

“Janean was very friendly, communicative and professional. This was my first time hiring a professional dog sitter/house sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since I was a child and always put in the extra time for exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I have successfully helped puppies complete puppy training and offer caring support to elderly animals and those with special medical needs. I do contract work and have a lot of time off so can be with your pets for extended amounts of time. I live in the forest close to a provincial park I visit regularly and can provide long nature walks for your dogs. While I don't currently have any of my own pets, at the moment, I will enthusiastically cherish the time I get to spend with yours!

“Sarah was very communicative and considerate with the needs of our dogs. She was also really accommodating when it came to meeting us beforehand a couple of times (both to make sure she was comfortable and the dogs). She left our apartment in the same condition in which we left it, the dogs were calm and comfortable upon our return. We are so grateful to Sarah for taking amazing care of our Dogs, and would absolutely have her stay with us again! Thank you!!!”

About: I believe in structure that is fun and rewarding win/win for animal and humans. Touch/massage/space/respect that animal requires including but not limited too massage therapy. I offer kindness to you or your pet or both ;) Let me know what they love and enjoy and I'll do my best to follow it in your absence! I say I'm a pet-whisperer, I've had wild moose,fox,bear approach me when alone without animals... I've stayed calm and felt energy and understanding exchange. I love people, plants and animals and they feel it. I have had pet owners say that their animals are difficult instead they behave wonderfully for me first and reaccuring visits! I've owned cats and dogs thru out my childhood, as an adult I adopted older and untrained animals from shelters and breeders and they fit in perfectly with rythem love and consistency. I work as a local barber. I am flexible with my schedule. I'm flexible to come and go to walk or house sit for you and your fur baby! I can follow instructions for your family and pets routine of normal. Talk, read, pet, sing, watch little Netflix whatever they enjoy for human time.

About: Hi, I’m Olivia—an experienced, reliable pet and house sitter who loves being in nature, with animals, making art, hiking, cycling, snorkeling and eating good food! I bring a calm, detail-oriented, and responsible approach to every sit. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away and ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Because respecting and caring, you and your animal deserve the best. I had a female Vizsla named Ruby growing up who had seemingly endless amounts of energy so I am no stranger to taking care of mid sized dogs that need to be walked multiple times a day. Living in many different areas across B.C. And now Alberta has made it hard to have an animal of my own so I would love to spend time with your fur baby. I actually have a lot of experience taking amazing care of cats as well. With little space for an animal of my own I long to help dog owners with their busy schedules and provide a helping hand to you and your dog. I will always respect your wishes and will treat your dog like family. Currently I live with two middle aged cats that belong to my house mates. I help feed them, allow them in and out of the house during the day and help bring them inside in the evenings. When their owners are away I look after them entirely including cleaning kitty litters, charging their tracking collars at night, playing with them and all mentioned above. In the past I have loved and taken care of many dogs in relationships. I love the uniqueness of different animals and helping them live their best lives. I am not able to take pets into my home but within your home I am happy to be adaptable to what you and your pet requires to feel safe and happy in your absence.

“Mykena was wonderful, Jazz was a very happy girl, I doubt that she even noticed we were away. We will use MyKena’s service’s again.”

“Rhaya was an excellent dog sitter! Kind and easy to communicate with, she made being away from our pup feel so much less stressful. Would definitely hire again.”

About: I have taken care of animals as small as cats and Shih Tzus all the way up to Irish Wolfhounds and horses! No animal is too big or small! (Excluding boarding since I can’t exactly bring a horse into my apartment haha) I am currently working part time so I can likely find time to fit in the pup. I am quite flexible and the animals come first! At my home the puppers would have 2-3 walks per day and potty breaks every 2-4 hours depending on the pup! I have multiple great trails within walking distance and a plethora more within a short drive!

“If you need a wonderful reliable dog sitter, it’s Tara! We needed a dog sitter in short notice and we got very vey lucky. We had never met Tara before and after talking with her we knew she could be trusted with our house and our dog. The minute Tara got in the house she sat down and welcomed our dog into her lap. Our dog is a rescue and very timid. She does not like change. Tara easily won her over with her very calm aura and scratches in our dogs favourite places. Tara sent pics of Bella and we saw our dog was right at ease. It also made us feel better about leaving her. Tara is very reliable, followed routines and asked questions. The house was left spotless and she had even done her bedding laundry. We can’t say enough kind words about Tara. We highly recommend her and would definitely get her again. Tara is a gem!!”

About: Worried about kennel stress or disrupted routines? Wondering if someone will truly respect your home the way you do? These are real concerns. Which is exactly why I offer professional, live-in home security and pet care that keeps your companions comfortable in their own environment while you're away. 📍 As a professional nomad, I'm willing to travel for house sits across BC, Canada, and internationally. I have over 15+ years of home and pet care experience across wildly different environments—from tropical heat to northern winters—caring for a variety of pets. While conditions change, my approach stays the same: reliable and detail-focused care that honours your animals and respects your space. "Rebecca is “5-star” across the board without a doubt. She arrived a full day early to go over our rather extensive list, as we have property outside of the city and it is somewhat isolated. We left with confidence just by recognizing that she had handled many of our maintenance requirements in the past. She kept in touch with us regularly and contacted us when a home maintenance issue arose, and on both occasions already had it under control. She prepared our Golden Retriever’s home-cooked diet each week and kept her beautifully groomed. As Rebecca works from home, we could tell the two of them formed a close bond—she delivered us back and forth to the airport, and we arrived home to an immaculate house and a delicious dinner!" When you travel, you deserve complete peace of mind. I'm here to make sure your pets feel safe, your home stays respected, and everything runs smoothly in your absence. Wherever you are, let's talk. As a professional working remotely from home, pet care isn't squeezed between office hours—it's woven into my day. Your animals receive my full attention and companionship throughout the week. On the rare occasions I need to step out, it's typically for 4–6 hours at most, and never without first ensuring your pets are settled and comfortable. This flexibility means I can adapt to your pets' unique schedules—whether that's early-morning feeding routines, midday play sessions, or simply being present so they never feel alone. With a background in tourism and hospitality, I bring the same level of responsibility, discretion, and care to your home that I'd offer any valued guest—because that's exactly what your space and your animals deserve. I understand the trust it takes to hand over your keys and the wellbeing of those you love. That's why I treat every home with respect: following house rules carefully, maintaining cleanliness and security, and keeping your pets' routines consistent so nothing feels off-balance while you're gone. Daily care includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and one walk for dogs. I stay calm and compassionate in emergencies, and I'll always keep you informed if any concerns arise. You'll leave knowing everything—and everyone—is in capable, caring hands.
