Pet Sitting in Sooke

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 have a cozy townhouse with a partially undercover yard. Your dog would be welcome to sleep inside my house, on the bed! They will have plenty of access to the fenced yard for sniff and toilet breaks. We also have lovely parks and beaches close by to explore on walks.

“Carrie came through for me when I was in a pinch (my other sitter failed to show up), and accepted the booking very last minute. She was an absolute dream, and all three of my cats warmed up to her (even the shy one!) Her communication was exceptional and open (lots of pictures!), she immediately put my mind at ease when I was away from home and worried about my fur babies, and she went above and beyond to ensure my cats were well cared for and loved. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Maia and Josh were wonderful! They sent regular updates and clearly cared about my cat. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”

“Laura was fabulous! Our kitties were very well cared for and we received lots of pics and daily updates on them. Thank you Laura, we’ll definitely be in touch for our next trip ???”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 12. Growing up we had cats and dogs and it was my job in the family to walk our family's dogs. I've cared for puppies (including providing puppy training) and senior dogs. I'm happy to go for multi kilometer hikes, throw frisbees/balls in a field, or just cuddle on the couch. I also have experience looking after dogs with a variety of health issues and looking after their special needs (blindness, special diets etc). I currently work from home 4 out of the 5 days and my schedule is 8-4:30. During lunch or after work I am available to go for walks or check in as needed. On the weekends I have even more freedom for longer walks/hikes and time together. I do have 3 children (aged 5-13) every other week so the dog would have to be kid friendly for those weeks. My kiddos have been raised with dogs and would be extra friends for them to play with! I will care for the pets like they are my own. I currently have a senior pug named Hank and he spends most of his days sleeping so it would be great for him to meet new friends as well. Our daily routine would likely include letting them outside, feeding, going for walks/playing with dog toys, snuggling and unless the pet is crate trained, I would likely make them a bed for nighttime.

“Our ladies were happy and healthy and safe! Thank you for taking such careful care of our ladies and our home :)”

About: Always had animals growing up, dogs and cats. I have two dogs and understand how busy life can be so let me help if I can! I am a part time nurse working with people with physical and intellectual disabilities. Looking to help others with busy lives manage their pets needs. If you would like your pet crated or in a certain area in your home, this will be done. Safety is the most important. One of my dogs is crated when we are not home, however the one is left free range in our home. Each animals care is individual and important for continuity.

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.

“Adina was so lovely with our kitties! I knew right away that things would be just fine with the way she approached our shy kitty during the meet and greet. We got photos every day and they clearly loved having her visit. Thank you!”

“Etienne and Claire were absolute lifesavers for us! They watched both of our dogs in our airbnb for us while my husband and I went for dinner. Very calm and patient with both our dogs and overall such lovely people. So glad we found them and will definitely recommend them to all our friends who will be visiting Tofino.”

About: Note: I´m flexible and happy to travel (in BC/AB) - longer stays preferred. I can gladly provide excellent references from other Petsitting platforms (14 petsits). Feel free to reach out - I’d be happy to chat and share more! --------- I’ve had the chance to care for several homes and beloved pets in Canada since June 2025. It’s been an incredibly fulfilling experience so far, I have already worked with 10 workaway hosts on totally different projects, each stay was a unique experience. I take pride in being gentle, reliable, and tuned in to each animal’s unique personality. In September 2025, I spent an entire month volunteering at an animal farm sanctuary, where I learned a great deal about rescued animals and those with special needs. It was a deeply enriching experience that expanded my understanding of more than ten different farm animal species. I care deeply about treating every animal with respect and love, and I always take time to understand their unique personalities and needs. I´m a work and traveller from Germany, I finished my bachelors degree in business psychology in November 2025. I'm on the way to start my own remote business, so I´m very flexible about caring for your pets. As a traveling petsitter and workaway, I adapt quickly to new environments and routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping the house clean and cozy, I treat every place as if it were my own. I love creating a calm and loving environment for pets while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to help with extra tasks like watering plants or garden work. Only smoke & vapefree households.

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: I grew up in a multi-pet household and have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, and even the occasional lizard. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and care needs. After recently losing my senior cat late last year, I’m taking some time before committing to full-time pet ownership again; in the meantime, I would love to spend time caring for other pets and offering them the same attention, patience, and affection I’ve always given my own. I understand how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I strive to provide reliable, compassionate support so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I work outside the home Monday to Friday from 6 am-4 pm typically. I have weekends available as well and some flexibility in my work schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any specific preferences, to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, ensuring pets are always supervised appropriately and never put in unsafe situations. I also take care to keep environments clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I’m committed to clear, reliable communication so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

With experience in walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments , as well as pet-sitting throughout the Victoria area, I am confident in my ability to meet the unique needs of your pet. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of working around farm animals in the Metchosin area, which has broadened my experience and deepened my understanding of animal care. Currently, I am the proud owner of one dog and four cats, and I work part-time. I am skilled at balancing my schedule to prioritize the care of your pets, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and routine they need. From daily walks to feeding schedules and playtime, I will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in your absence.

About: Hi! I’m a 22 year old who is very passionate about animals. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats, and love so much to spend time with them, and would love to get to know your furry legged friends aswell! I’m working part time, and would love to spend my spare time with animals. I promise that as your pet sitter I will put your pets needs and well being ahead of anything else! I love dogs and cats, and have experience caring for larger breeds. Thank you very much ! Work from 3:30-8:30pm Monday - Thursday and Saturday mornings. Outside of those listed times where I am at work I am free to be with your pet. :) This is dependant on the animal I am taking care of. If it is a more energetic breed, I will be sure to take it on longer walks as many times as needed, and won’t leave them home alone for long periods of time if it can be avoided. For less energetic breeds i will try to gauge how much exersice/attention they need and give them the appropriate amount.

“Simrin was great with my cat. She gave consistent updates throughout my time away. I would definitely rebook with her. Thank you 🙂”
