House Sitting in Sooke

“Chantal was very patient with my skittish animals and was even able to win over my dog! She left the house clean and was responsive when messaged”

“Emma was a great cat-sitter! She was very attentive, gentle with Luba and very communicative. She provided regular updates and put me at ease while I was away at work. Very glad to have had her cat-sit!”

About: I grew up with 1-4 dogs in the house at all times and am used to a multiple-pet household. I also have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, and senior dogs. I have been doing pet/house sitting on and off for 5 years and would love to do more in the future. I have a part-time job, but I am free Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays, and some Saturdays. I am free pretty much the whole day when I don't have work, and i could work around my 9am-6pm shift on the days that I do. I have three dogs of my own, and one of them is reactive to strange dogs, so I would prefer to come take care of your pet(s) at your house.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cared for my own for the last 15 years. I absolutely adore all breeds and can tailor my care to the needs of your pet. Whether they love cuddles, alone time, long walks or frisbee chasing, I will make sure they have the best time and are loved as if they were my own. I have pet-sit in Australia for years, and have shared my home with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am happy to care for young and old dogs, and have experience administering medications, cleaning and most importantly entertaining your fur baby. I am currently working part-time so have plenty of availability to care for your pet. I am available on weekends and holidays, as well as for overnight stays. I prefer to care for pets in the comfort of their own home to reduce stress on the animal. I am happy to travel to your home to provide care for the day, night or just for check-ins. I have a fenced, partially undercover yard at my home where your dog is welcome for an additional fee.

“Alexander arrived on time and communicated throughout the stay. The house was tidy upon our return. Alexander put in additional effort by watering our plants when he noticed they were drooping and refilled my hummingbird feeders. Our two dogs were well cared for and we are sure they barely noticed we weren’t around!”

“Kirsten took care of our 2 little dogs, Bessie and Judy, for a week in our home while we were on holiday. We were so grateful for the care and love she showed them, especially since Judy can be a bit skittish with strangers at first. But thanks to Kirsten's delicate and extra care, and frequent updates, we had peace of mind that they were well taken care of. It was clear when we returned that they were totally at ease with her. Kirsten was also a great house guest. We wouldn't hesitate to ask her to take care of our girls again!”

Shawn & Anita S.

“Perfect experience for the dogs. Updates were great and the service provided was vastly above expectations. If you love your pets Roseline is the way to go”

Tristan T.

“Sonya is the finest house sitter there is. She cares for my cat with tons of attention. She leaves my house in better shape than I left it and is communicative and responsive. Thanks again!”

Mark T.

“Kelsey took such great care with our two cats, Julian and Greta. She provided us with regular updates, made sure they were good on water, food, and litter, and went above and beyond to be affectionate and amazing company for them while we were gone over the holidays. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Jakkapan Ron K.

“Pat was absolutely the best sitter we could have chosen for our little guy! She was super at communicating and sending us pictures. She left our home neat and tidy and we would love to have her back next time we are away! We highly recommend!”

Kelly And Shandra W.

“Huck was happy and well taken care of when we got home. Sometimes it’s hard to find someone to watch such a big dog but we feel he had a great time with Chris.”

Jaclyn P.

“Ashley took attentive care of my cat for a week including giving him his asthma inhaler each morning. She sent me pictures throughout the week and kept in touch. I came home to a spotlessly clean home and the linens and towels were washed, too. Thank you Ashley!”

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: Hello, nice to meet you! I'm Claudie, a 29-year-old Canadian from Montreal. As a freelance graphic designer, I have the flexibility to work from home, which allows me to offer pet sitting services. I also have a car, so I can take your pet to the vet or any necessary appointments while you're away. I live an active lifestyle that includes surfing, Pilates, hiking, and running, so I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors - especially with furry companions by my side. I often travel with my long-time partner, Thomas, a 30-year-old teacher from Canada who’s always chasing the next great wave. As a freelancer working from home, I have the flexibility to change my environment while enjoying the company of pets. I love the balance it brings—caring for animals while maintaining my work routine and incorporating them into my active lifestyle (hiking, walking, running). I also live in a house in East Sooke, close to many forest and seaside walking trails. My backyard is surrounded by nature, and I can easily secure a pet on a leash so they can safely enjoy the sun while I work outside beside them. If a pet’s routine is quite structured, I adapt my work and activity schedule to match it. Otherwise, I usually start the day with something active (running, walking, or hiking) and go for another walk in the afternoon. Since I work from home, pets always benefit from my company, whether I’m working indoors or outside. I’m also just a text or call away, and I love sending daily updates and photos to owners. Having a car makes me very flexible in case of an emergency.

“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Trina cared for our little fur and furless friends like they were her own and sent an abundance of photos which made us so happy and able to enjoy our wedding day! We would definitely hire Trina again 🖤”

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 specialized 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! I look forward to hearing about your fur babies! I work Sunday - Thursday, 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.

“Elel is an amazing person. She took great care of my home and my 8month old kitty 🐈‍⬛ Maggie. I’ve been working to socialize Maggie since adoption 3 months ago, and Maggie took to Elel within the first couple days- she’s like a cat whisperer! She sent photos and videos everyday so I could see Maggie’s progress, and when I got home Maggie was very settled. Almost as if I hadn’t been gone. Also my house was clean and well taken care of. I don’t think I’ve ever gone away feeling so secure about my fur family members or my home, ever. Thank you so Elel, I appreciate you so much! 🙏🥰💙”

“Etieteen was so great with Molly! I would definitely have him come and puppy sit again. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans over Christmas that meant we could no longer take molly with us. Etieteen was so accommodating and put me at ease right away. He stayed at our apartment and took such good care of everything for almost a full week. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. He sent us lots of updates over the 5 days he was watching her and was always available when I needed to contact him. I can tell that Molly received lots of attention and was well taken care of while we were away. She misses her new friend.”

“Carlee stepped in at the last minute and we really appreciate her quick response. The animals were happy and well taken care of. The house was in great shape! Would highly recommend. Thanks Carlee!”
