Bailey has such a nice calm demeanour that is good for a reactive dog like Milo. My husband and I are very pleased with Bailey and feel confidant with having him walk our boy. . Thanks to Bailey our “ tank “ is on his way to becoming fit and hopefully lose some much needed excess lbs “ fat dog” . Unfortunately due to a serious car accident I cannot always walk him enough. This service is wonderful!

About: We have had pets our entire life. Now retired and travel a few months a year, so currently without a pet because of our travels. Missing the love of our own pets (Scruffy lived to 17 and Cedes lived to 16). So we have decided that the love of your pets, would be lovely and would benefit all involved. We live 2 blocks from the beach, which gives the dogs a great run and or swim permitting of course :) My wife and I are both retired and walk to the beach everyday, would be nice to have a dog to walk with us. For the evenings it would be nice to cuddle up to a dog or cat. We live on the bottom floor of a pet friendly building, with access to a yard. We do have a wrap around deck with a 2 foot brick wall/planter that is gated to large partially fenced yard. Pics attached. We both have knowledge of caring for both dogs and cats.

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: 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.

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: I have a wealth of experience being with dogs as I have been raised by my parents who are dog breeders and annual avid dog show competitors. I love going for walks with these 4 legged friends and enjoy their company throughout the day and night. I make sure they are fed well, had a good exercise for the day and are clean when I am with them. Looking for someone who is reliable, clean and will be compassionate towards your loved one? You can count on me. I work part time online, roughly 4 hours per day, during the week so I can easily fit in the rest of my day being with your pet. I will make sure I understand the boundaries of your place and what the characteristics and personality of your pet. I will make sure your pet is leashed when going for walks unless you say it is not necessary and will make sure your pet is happy throughout the time I am with him/her.

Hudson has always loved animals. Around the age of 13, he began looking after the pets of neighbors and friends. Beyond the usual tasks of providing food, water, grooming, and walks, Hudson takes the time to truly connect with the animals. Ensuring they receive ample cuddles and pets is just as important to him as their physical needs.

Highly recommend Michelle’s in home pet sitting. Ive tried boarding and really prefer to know my pet is getting personalized care which is why I sought out Michelle’s services. While my family and I were away, Michelle sent regular pictures and updates so that my partner and I could feel assured that Lola was in good hands. I have booked with her a few times and I recommend her to my friends regularly.
