Carolyn was fantastic. She did a great job of connecting with my shy kitty, was very diligent, and communicated extremely well. I felt very reassured leaving my cat in her care, and would definitely recommend her services. Thank you, Carolyn!

Lyndsey and James were easy to communicate with and replied quickly to my short notice request. I felt comfortable knowing they would be checking in on my pup while I was away. Thank you Lyndsey & James!

About: I work from home and go for frequent walks with my dog. Our place backs onto a green space so we are out a lot. I work from home and set aside time each morning, afternoon and evening for walks, and can be available if they need to go out. We have a large fenced yard with space to run and play. I always make sure there is plenty of fresh water available, and of course give lots of love and pets.

Miranda has been so helpful! I have a small puppy she has been helping with while I'm at work and I feel so much better knowing he's in good hands. I'm also new to the app so she helped navigate some problems and I'm so greatful.

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: 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!

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.

Tara did a drop in visit and dog walk with Haru while I was away for most of the day. She took him on a lovely walk and sent me pictures of their adventure. I came home to a very content pup. Thank you for all the amazing care Tara!

About: With many years in the animal world, having grown up on a family farm, and having raised mini Aussies for many years, I have ample experience caring for pets. It is a passion of mine to ensure all animals are loved and well cared for, I thoroughly enjoy including all animals I care for into my daily adventures and active lifestyle. I work from home and would love to offer at home services to give your pet some extra one on one. I am a yoga and healing practitioner and love to extent my care and love to animals. I am stepping into the animal assisted wellness field and they are a big part of my work/life! I work from home and would love to offer your pups love, exercise, and some fantastic adventures along the way! I also raise Miniature Australian Shepherds and have come to understand doggy dynamics very well throughout my years as a breeder. I am happy to offer daily walks in the Comox Valley, and house sitting. Here I have 60 acres for dogs to run and play, spend time with other dogs, and enjoy my family’s companionship. There are outdoor dog runs if need be for my own dogs and an unlimited amount of play opportunities. Our dogs spend nighttime inside with us and we spend our days outdoors exploring.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. I treat animals with respect. I have little well train dog from Mexico. Learning to train her has given me more confidence to handle other dogs. I’ve foster dogs several times and loved it. Your dog will be loved well cared for ❤️ Walks are in the morning (7am-10:30) and after 3 pm. One hour long and with or without my dogs company. Depends of the preference of the other dog. I follow the instructions that the owners leave as each dog has its own routine and it’s important to keep them on that schedule. In order to make the dog feeling stable and safe.

Heather was excellent and absolutely accommodating to all 6 of my animals! Dogs, cats and fish! She is very personable to humans as well. I could tell the dogs loved her as they went crazy to say bye to her on the last day. You simply cannot go wrong with this lady!
