House Sitting in Sooke

“Carollee took wonderful care of my pets while I was away on a work trip. She was very attentive and made sure to send frequent updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog has been having some tummy issues lately, and she kept me informed about how she was doing throughout my trip. I arrived home to a neat and tidy house and, most importantly, happy and healthy animals. Thank you so much, Carollee! 😊”

“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!”

About: I’m 55, and a lifelong pet owner. I have two dog-friendly cats Octavia & Mario, and a sweet Chihuahua girl Bellamy. Having relied on pet sitters myself, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy, responsible, and experienced sitter. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities. Whether it's catering to the needs of a senior dog, providing training for a lively puppy, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I approach each interaction with patience, compassion, and expertise. I take pride in maintaining the daily routines of the pets I care for, ensuring stability and comfort in their environment. Whether it's a home visit, doggy day care, or overnight stay in my home, your pet will receive personalized attention and plenty of love. ______________________________________________ ** Boarding (My home) - Dogs must be good with cats and not chase them.** ** House Sitting (Your home) - My Chihuahua comes with me. She’s quiet and very well-behaved.** ______________________________________________ Taking care of pets isn't just something I do on the side – it's my full-time job. I'm dedicated to them all day, every day. From morning to night, I focus on making sure they're well-fed, exercised, and content. Playing, cuddling, and giving them attention is what I do best because it's my passion and my only priority. With your pet's well-being in mind, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space conducive to their needs. Whether it's ensuring secure fencing in my yard for outdoor play or utilizing safe and reliable equipment during walks, I take every precaution to keep your pet protected. Additionally, I adhere strictly to any dietary or medical requirements, administering medications if needed, and providing a calm and nurturing environment.

“Dom was fantastic! She took excellent care of our pets while we were away and even went above and beyond by helping out with a couple household requests as well. Very good communicator, and very reliable. Will be happy to use her again or recommend her to others!”

About: Busy with work or going on vacation? I am here to help. I am offering dog walking, house sitting, drop in visits throughout the day and anything else you may need. As a previous dog owner, I know how important your fur baby is to you. I will treat them and love them like they are my own. I am highly energetic and love to be around animals. I have worked at a vet clinic, handling all kinds of animals. I owned three dogs at once and trained them myself. One was a 120lb (all muscle on the big guy) chocolate lab X golden retriever and the other was a border collie x Shepard. So, I am familiar with large and highly active dogs. I am an animal lover and can't wait to assist you with yours. I am looking to spend quality time with your pets and facilitate the exercise they require. I am available at anytime throughout the day and night to better convenience you and your pup. If your fur baby is young and needs further training walking on the leash, I am more than happy to increase their training. Although I don't have a fenced in yard, I have a long leash outside and can walk them often. There is a park down the road too for a few games of fetch. I do have a cat in my home as well, Eddie. He is a beautiful boy but if dog sitting is what you require, they will never come into contact. He is good with dogs but I prefer to keep everyone safe rather than sorry! Please feel free to message me at a time of your convenience and we can discuss your needs and the needs of your fur baby! Hope you chat soon! I am currently working part time (night shifts) so I am available throughout the day to help exercise your dog! I am very flexible on times and days. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to play with! I have tons of experience with animals including owning and training my own!

“Chantal was amazing with my dog. She had a hard time with new people but Chantal was calm and great and my dog warmed up very nicely. The house was left clean which was a huge relief 😅”

“Lukas took excellent care of our dog and our home. He quickly befriended Lucy, our large, shy, senior dog. While we were away he sent dog pictures daily., He also left the house as clean as or maybe even cleaner than we left it. We are grateful for the peace of mind he gave us, and we highly recommend Lukas for dog and house sitting.”

About: I have been caring for animals in general since I was 10 years old. I love petting them and taking care of them. I also love teaching them different ways to respond to calls and, above all, taking care of them as if they were another member of the family. I’m currently working Monday to Friday until 4PM, so I can be available after this and the whole weekend also. Just let me know when and I’ll be there. I prefer to take care of them in their own space or places that they use to walk or play. I know they can stress without having theirs routine. So I can move there whenever you need.

About: Since I can remember I’ve had such a love for animals and their beautiful personalities and energy. Since approximately 12 years of age I’ve cared for and raised dogs. My husband and I have had two wonderful companions for 16-18 years who are sadly no longer with us. We continue to want to have animals in our life and help where we can. We have experience with puppies , middle aged, and senior pups and love all the stages that each age ranges bring. With family member we understand the utmost care and trust is needed. When we had our two dogs our lives definitely revolved around the both of them. Whether it be walking, feeding, playing and medications - they always came first. They were family. Our home consists of 2.5 floors. We have hardwood and carpets (runners) available for dogs who have traction issues. We can carry dogs that weigh up to 20 Ibs up and down if needed if they are older and also utilize baby gates. Water is available up and down and we also have AC.

“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!”

“Daytona took care of our cats & dogs, all who needed medical attention. She kept the home clean and tidy, and made sure all of the animals got the best care while we were away. We will surely contact her again for all of our pet sitting needs. Thank you!”

“I was very happy with Brook and Brenden. They looked after our 130lb Mastiff for 3 weeks and I would highly recommend them to any other's looking for great house and dog sitters. They were super about meeting us a head of time to get familiar with our dog and his habits, even spending some time with us in the forest and a dog park before we left. They also moved into the house 1 night early to become familiar with the space. While we were away there were no issues, and ongoing communication including pictures and videos was really good. So in short they are 5-star sitters and have my double thumbs up! Thank you so much Brook and Brenden, I hope to see you bak next time!”

“Silvia and Andrea are excellent pet sitters. They spent a week with both of our pups at our home. We can home to happy and relaxed dogs, it was ans if we had never left. We also really enjoyed the days picture, video and message updates. They are both detail orientated and trustworthy, we will 100% recommend them for all their services.”

“Michaella was amazing with Dunkin. I had a last minute change of plans and she was very flexible and still able to accommodate everything! She sent lots of pictures and Dunkin had the best time. Would love to book with her again soon!”

Bailey M.

“Chantelle has looked after my dog twice now and is the best. She's kind, communicative, and I always come home to a tired happy pup. Can't recommend her highly enough”

Isabelle M.

“Tammy provided excellent care for both my home and my pets. She made sure my dog got daily walks and little adventures, and I really appreciated all the photo updates while I was away. My dog is a senior, and Tammy was incredibly thoughtful—she even brought a dog stroller so Bella could ride comfortably whenever she got tired. Tammy truly went above and beyond. She left my home clean and tidy, even organizing a few things around the house. I was welcomed home with freshly baked banana bread on the counter and a handwritten note, which was such a lovely touch. We would be absolutely happy to have Tammy back again and highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, space, and attention I can give your dog. I work from home every day, which means your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and can enjoy multiple walks throughout the day. I have a large fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, plus I live near great trails in Saanich and a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for long walks and outdoor time. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and previously owned a German Shepherd Malamute Husky., so I’m very comfortable handling and caring for larger breeds as well as high-energy dogs. I understand their needs for exercise, structure, and attention. I’m also happy to stick closely to your dog’s routine. Whether it’s feeding at specific times, crate training, or maintaining their normal schedule, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well cared for until you’re back home. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend a lot of time outdoors. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I usually structure the day around multiple walks, playtime in my large fenced backyard, and relaxing time indoors. I also live near great trails in Saanich and a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. I’m used to following a dog’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, crate time if needed, and exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, I can keep a close eye on your dog and make sure they’re comfortable, active, and well cared for. Providing updates to owners is also part of my routine, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household. Because I work from home, your dog will get lots of attention, regular bathroom breaks, and multiple walks throughout the day. I also have a large fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and burn off energy. I like to keep dogs on their normal routine as much as possible. I follow feeding schedules, crate routines if needed, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise and rest. Living near trails and a quiet neighborhood also allows for great outdoor walks. I’ve had dogs my whole life and previously owned a German Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. My goal is to keep your dog happy, active, and relaxed while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow all instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and provide regular updates so you know your pet is doing well.
