Dog Walking Sooke

“We can’t recommend Vanessa highly enough! Our dog can be sensitive and requires some extra attention, and Vanessa has always been wonderful about carefully following our instructions and making sure our pup is comfortable and well cared for. She is extremely communicative, sends great photos and updates after walks, and is someone we completely trust. Knowing our dog is with Vanessa gives us real peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker.”

About: Recently had to say goodbye to my baby girl of nearly 20yrs, missing her snuggles and purrs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your sweetheart(s) when you're away and would be honored to care for them and keep them company until you return. I always grew up with pets and have pet-sat for friends through my teens & adult years. Litter boxes, dog-poop patrol, medications or special diets - your furry friend will be well looked after! I'm self-employed and currently working part-time so my schedule is relatively flexible. If you live in Sooke, I can easily check in on your pup during the day and am free most evenings & weekends to get them out for walks and/adventures. I love hiking and exploring different trails. I am available to dog-sit in your home or simply provide check-in visits, bathroom breaks, and walks. To start, tell my about your pet's usual routines and needs and I'll let you know how I can support that. Then we can discuss and see if I'm the right sitter for you 🙂

“Laura was fantastic with our pup. She took the time to establish a relationship, and provided updates and photos of their long way that gave us peace of mind.”

“Sumiah was a tremendous help to us by walking our headstrong dog for five days. She is a delightful young woman, very responsible, punctual, confident and friendly. We would love to use her again.”

About: I have always wanted to look after animals since I was a kid. My husband and I fostered rescue dogs in Alberta to help get adopted. I have also cared for a variety of small caged animals over the years. As your house sitter, I will be present in your home for the entire duration of the stay. This is great if your pup does not like to be left alone. I am able to administer simple medications if needed. I am also able to care for small caged animals in my own home and we can discuss this arrangement if you are needing this service. House/pet sitting is my priority. When you hire me, I will not need to leave your residence for other employment. This is great if your pup does not like to be left alone. I will care for your pets following the daily routine that you have already established for them. If the pets are used to a morning walk then I will take them on a morning walk if that is preferred. If your pets are happy to simply play in their yard while you are away I would be happy to do that as well. I usually like to arrange a short meet and greet prior to the first overnight stay to familiarize myself with your pets and their home.

About: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. For services at your home, I strictly follow your pet's regular routine, ensure your property is completely secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

“Etienne is awesome, he took care very well of Koa and Oliver. They were so happy after the walk. You can see that he loves dogs and understand them very much. Next time we come to Tofino we will definitely book him again.”

About: I am a young professional who loves the outdoors. I spend most of my time being very active outside. I enjoy hiking, running or long walks on the beach in all types of weather! I have always loved dogs and have spent many years being around them and caring for them. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters and guinea pigs, mice, frogs etc. I often volunteer to take friend's and familie's dogs for walks in my spare time or pet sit over longer periods of time. I genuinely enjoy the company and energy that dogs bring. I have a life long ambition to care for animals who have been neglected or poorly treated. Apart from being active, I also enjoy downtime/ snuggle time with older/less energetic animals. I have a gentle touch and a lot of love to share for 4 legged friends, no matter the size or temperament! I am currently taking the Summer off so my schedule is wide open for all your furry friend's needs! Please feel free to reach out regarding any availability questions/concerns. I have a large property (a dogs paradise!) but I am also happy to go on as many or as little dog walks/fetch dates as needed for whatever length is best suited for your dog. I have lots of experience with anxious animals or unsocialized pets so therefore I am confident I can keep your fur baby safe.

“Trina was great with my dog Stan who can be nervous with new people. She’s clearly experienced with anxious dogs and was very responsive. Thanks again, Trina!”

“We had the pleasure of meeting Annastasia during our first time using Rover. She was so easy to communicate with and very reliable to take our dog for a walk. Annastasia was fantastic and we would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked with horses for five years and have spent the last three years working with and around dogs. I also raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, who is now a government-certified service dog. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine through walks, enrichment, training, and personalized care. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and giving every pet individual attention. I provide attentive, personalized care in every home. With parks, trails, and Beacon Hill nearby, pets enjoy safe walks, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection.

“Very responsive, professional and great with my pup!”

“Shouka was very tired and Kurtis was very thoughtful and coordinated!”

About: Hello Pet Parents! My name is Kassie and I have been caring for animals ranging from hamsters to cats and dogs since I was a young child. My love for all animals has taken me into a career specializing in preventing cruelty to animals; through the BC SPCA. I've had dogs and cats throughout my life and if you choose me to watch your babies, they will be well taken care of! I work from home so my schedule is flexible! I love long walks and can throw a ball for hours! If I am boarding your pet, I do have a 1 year old tuxedo cat in the home. He is incredible. He loves dogs and cats and has been the best foster dad in the past! I look forward to hearing about your fur babies! I work Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm. I would walk your pets or come to your home to check on/feed them before work and after work if I were attending to them at your home. If they’re at my home, I have the flexibility to play with them at any point in the day & take them out In my home, your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free of hazards, with cozy resting spots, secure outdoor access (if needed), and plenty of stimulation to keep them happy and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding to playtime, and ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether they’re here for a day or a week, they’re treated like family.

About: Hi! My name is sarah, and I would love to care for your furry family member while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day and will never be left alone for long periods. As a dedicated pet owner with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, I understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and accommodating your dog’s individual routines and preferences. I’m also happy to provide references from previous pet care experiences upon request. I share my home with my friendly 7-year-old, 40-pound dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a calm, easygoing personality. Because I live in a condo without a yard, I make sure dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to provide a safe, loving environment that feels as close to home as possible. Whether your pup enjoys cuddling on the couch, going for walks, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I’ll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I also know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you informed so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work full time from home. 1 sweet dog . I live in a condo but we go for 3 walks away, our lunch time walk is an hour, in the mornings and normally to the dog park after work, but that’s only if your dog is comfortable with dog parks. I have a sweet rescue dog. I’m at home full time and would love another pup to hangout with us in the day or over nights

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for many years, I have experience with all pets. I have worked with all different sizes and breeds, I have also worked with different temperaments. I’ve dealt with shy and timid dogs, to aggressively not good with other animals or humans, and of course loving and super friendly dogs. Pets are my passion and I only have what’s best interest for them :) I have tons of references if wanted, I am super flexible and just happy to help with your furry family members. I am happy to just drop by and give a snuggle or out for a bathroom break, and I am also happy to stay at your home for as long as you need. I currently work part time, my job is flexible so I am able to check on the pets anytime during the day! I am always home by 3pm so plenty times for adventures and snuggles!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 3 indoor cats and caring for my grandparents German Shepherds. I fostered many dogs and cats with my roommates in University, and worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 2+ years. I’ve rescued a senior dog from the SPCA (who since passed) and now have a 3.5yr Rottweiler. My schedule is extremely flexible and I can make myself available at anytime needed to provide care for your pets. A typical day with my dog consists morning potty, breakfast, long walk, indoor mental play time, supper, outside potty and more play time. It’s not uncommon to go for off-leash walks in a park. Another activity we enjoy is mental enrichment - either a mind game with treats or frozen kong. I have a condo in Westhills. There are many parks and trails nearby. I also have a SUV I use to take the dogs on adventures to the beach, hikes, etc. As for care in your home; I like to maintain whatever schedule you have!
