House Sitting in Port Renfrew

“This was our first experience using a Rover sitter and it turned out great! Ophelia met with us and our pets beforehand, as well as went on a walk to learn the cues we use with our dog, which showed great attention to detail and helped her know what to expect. She sent photos and updates, kept our place clean, and made sure our dog was well exercised so we could come home and relax after our trip. We were a bit nervous because our dog can be a handful and our cat unexpectedly needed medication, but she handled everything like a pro. We’d definitely book with her again!”

“Etienne is the best dog sitter ever! He’s been looking after my dog for many years now and Chloe loves him. Not only does he take her for several walks a day, but he has helped with her training and recall immensely. A tired hound is a good hound, and Etienne never fails to tire her out. Thanks again Etienne!”

“I left my dog Riley in Emery’s care at my house for two weeks. I will admit I was a little nervous at first because Emery is on the younger side and I had never used Rover before. My nerves settled after we met prior to the pet sitting service. She has a way with dogs and putting them at ease. Riley liked her immediately and I was impressed with her level of maturity and thoughtful questions she asked. Once away, I received daily text updates with photos. By day two Riley (who sleeps in bed with me) was nestled into the covers with Emery and I was totally relaxed knowing she was in great hands. Emery cared for her like she was her own and communicated regularly about their adventures together. She even spoiled Riley with a few new toys, which she absolutely loves! I would 100 percent hire Emery again and recommend her to others looking for pet sitting! Thank you, Emery!!”

“According to Bailey, our Maltese, Pat treated him with attention and affection like never before (except from us) while we were away on Christmas vacation: he frankly hated to see her leave. Pat responded to our enquiry promptly and met with us on two occasions to get all the details regarding staying in our home, including Bailey's culinary details and exercise and sleeping preferences. Upon our return we found everything as we had left it and a very happy Bailey eager to have us go on another vacation in order to have fun with Pat again. We highly recommend Pat as she saved the situation for us. Initially, we did some "interviews" with a local kennel but were rejected since all Bailey did during the "all day trial" was try to escape. On future trips, Pat will be the first person we'll contact for the job.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 20 years. I have experience working with and training a variety of different dog breeds. I also work as a foster with Cats Cradle Animal Rescue. I currently work from home so your pets will have someone with them all day:) I have a pet friendly vehicle so any areas in Victoria are not an issue. I have a fenced yard at my home and have a Pomsky pup that loves playing with all different dogs and cats. I also have a cat that loves meeting new furry friends and sharing her enclosed catio for safe outdoor time.

About: Greetings from the Dawg House! I'm Dawn! I am semi-retired and work from home with my two Rescue Pups: Blanquita the mini poodle mix and Margo the pug! They are rescues from Mexico and both welcome all of our new friends at the Dawg House. I have 97 five star gold reviews and testimonials and many repeat customers. I provide 24 hour supervision and dogs are never left alone or crated (unless the dog is used to it and that is what the owner wants). All dogs are welcome to sleep with me. I will also come to your house for overnights with your furry friends because I know that some dogs and cats do better in their own home. I have experience with senior dogs, nervous and anxious dogs, dogs who suffer from separation anxiety as well as dogs who need medication. Dogs have full run of the house and are never left alone without prior approval from you. I provide 24 hour care and supervision. Dogs at my house get lots of love and attention: our day can include snuggles on the couch, people & animal watching out of the windows, or with your permission - car rides to local parks and beaches. Your pup will have freedom to roam in our apartment, finding what spots they find most comfortable. I have experience with seniors, nervous/ anxious dogs, separation anxiety, and giving medications to dogs. Pets are allowed total freedom in our apartment and are more than welcome to sleep with us. All dogs are taken out several times a day.
