About: I have been looking after dogs (and many other animals including cats and horses) for 15+ years as favours to friends and family, so I have a massive love for all furry creatures! I have grown up with dogs and can detect body language changes, and know how to defuse situations if they do escalate. I have worked with dogs who are other-dog reactive, and know how to cater our walks to suit their needs without additional stress. Whether you are looking to have you pup join Atlas and I at our enclosed acreage, or would like me to simply drop in to visit and break up your pup's day with a play in the yard, I'm happy to do it all. Currently on a very open schedule due to the nature of casual work, and am looking to continue building up my experience here on Rover! :) I am a casually employed person, so have multiple weeks of time off in which I can dedicate to pet-sitting! Whether you're looking for just a few days, or something more extended, I can accommodate both needs. I have a fully enclosed rural acreage with automatic button-controlled gates, and reinforced wiring along the bottom two panels of fencing. We live on a quiet street with a few school children that commute in the morning/afternoon, but otherwise, not very busy. A lovely, safe, interesting space for them to explore and enjoy.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always been passionate about understanding and caring for them. I’ve cared for friends’ and loved ones’ cats and dogs, as well as my cleaning clients’ pets, and genuinely love getting to spend time with animals. I’m comfortable with all aspects of cat care, including feeding, litter care, grooming, play, and medication (including oral medication when discussed in advance). I’m especially attentive to feline body language and adjust my approach based on signs of anxiety, fear, overstimulation, or discomfort. My approach is gentle and cat led. I follow a consent based approach to interaction, allowing cats to decide when they’re ready for touch, and building trust at their pace. I’m also very detail oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough care instructions. I’m happy to provide photos and updates and will treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. As a longtime entrepreneur first with a house cleaning business to now being in private practice as a counsellor, I’m responsible, dependable, and have a flexible schedule. I’d love the opportunity to spend more time with cats and provide them with thoughtful, individualized care while their pet parents are away. I currently work in private practice as a counsellor, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care naturally into my week. I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for and enjoy having the opportunity to spend time with them throughout the day. I’m comfortable working with individual care routines and am happy to discuss specific timing, visit frequency, and care needs with each pet parent. My goal is to make pet care a consistent and enjoyable part of my routine while ensuring each cat or dog receives the attention and care they’re used to. I like to make drop in visits feel like more than just checking the essentials. I’ll greet your pet first, take care of their food, medication and litter, then spend time playing, grooming, and giving them the attention they enjoy. I love learning each animal's favourite toys, quirks, and routines, and I’m happy to stay a little longer for extra companionship when needed. I’ll also make sure their environment is comfortable before I leave, whether that means making a cozy spot, putting on some Cat TV with a sleep timer, or taking care of plants and fish if requested. My goal is for you to come home feeling that your pets were cared for with the same thoughtfulness you would have given them yourself.

About: * A little note and update. Unfortunately my mom passed away last year and I have moved to Langford BC for a new beginning. So to any previous clients from Burlington that I haven’t spoken to before my move - I’m unfortunately no longer living there. It was a pleasure to work with you ! Everything else below holds true. Please read my profile carefully before booking to make sure I’m a good fit for your dog. I have over 18 years experience caring for animals. I’m an intuitive energy ( Reiki Master ) healer which allows me to connect and understand your dog’s needs at a deeper level. If your dog is nervous or afraid of new people and/ or surroundings, i’m able to calm them with a little energy treatment. I also have many years of teaching and practicing first aid under my belt, as well as 11years of caring for my first dog Charlie. Over all, I have a tremendous love and understanding of animals, which I believe makes me a great choice for caring for your beloved fur babies. I know how incredibly precious they are to you, and will ensure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own. I am writing a film, doing pack walks and running my energy healing business from home - which allows me a flexible schedule to give your animals the care they need. For overnight / daycare : we live in a coach house in Langford BC - a close drive to Royal Oak Beach. It’s such a beautiful, safe neighbourhood to explore and go for walks. Sooke Hills Wilderness Park is just 3mins away. Note there is a set of stairs leading up to my living space so for those dogs that can’t do stairs I might not be a good fit. I am available to sit at your home though if it’s easier. I’m currently working from home writing my film. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time for play and walks. Your pet is always my first priority though and I will customize my days around their schedule and care. Dogs are always leashed and well cared for when out for walks. I don’t have a yard or anywhere they can escape from. Their safety will always be my first priority.

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.

“Emily was amazing! I felt super confident knowing she was coming to check in on my kitty. I got lots of photos and updates, and always got a reply within the hour. Will def be booking with her again and highly recommend!”

About: 5+ years of hands-on experience and dedication to providing thoughtful care for every pet. I have cared for puppies, dogs, and cats by house-sitting, walking dogs, feeding pets, giving medications and vitamins, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide reliable, loving care. I am available to walk your pets in the early afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for and raised animals of all kinds, from puppies and rescue dogs to farm animals and small pets. My own rescue dog, Indigo, taught me so much about patience, compassion, and attentive care as I supported her through both IVDD and cancer. Through that experience, I became very comfortable with medication routines, mobility support, changing needs, and providing calm, loving care through every stage of an animal’s life. I’ve also raised puppies and lived on a farm where I regularly cared for large farm dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for many different animals, including parrots, snakes, hamsters, fish, rabbits, and other small pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while their owners are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I’m also a very active person and usually spend hours outside walking every day, so I’d genuinely love some furry companionship along the way - whether your dog prefers long adventures, slower sniff walks, or lots of playtime and attention. I live in a detached home with a fully fenced backyard and no other animals in the home, creating a calm and safe environment for your pet. I take animal care very seriously and have always treated every pet - whether my own or someone else’s - with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I cared for my sweet dog Indigo through both IVDD and cancer, which gave me firsthand experience supporting animals with medical needs, mobility limitations, medication routines, and changing comfort levels. That experience taught me that every animal is unique, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual routines, personalities, and care needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.
