House Sitting in Ucluelet

About: Hi, my names Amy and I'm currently living in Ucluelet, within a campground and I am loving it! I am however desperately missing the company of a dog(s) and my long walks are in need of a furry friend. I work evening shifts so my days are mostly free and I'd love to help out with any dog sitting or walking that you might need. In November I am heading to Costa Rica for 3 weeks to volunteer at an animal shelter, rescuing abandoned/homeless dogs, which I'm incredibly excited about and have wanted to do for years. All my funds earned through Rover will be going towards this :) My experience with dogs goes as far back as when I was tiny, having always had dogs in my life growing up. I've cared for the little dogs, the big dogs, the old and the puppies, and I love every single one of them. I've done 2 years of volunteering in the UK dog walking and my dream one day is to set up my own dog walking business. Basically, I want my every day life to revolve around dogs! Please do get in touch if you would like some help with your 4 legged family members. I would truly treat them with all the love and hugs you would hope. I work evenings from 3.30 so have most my days free to spend with your pets. I love going on hikes around Ucluelet and Tofino, so your dogs can join me on these adventures exploring the beautiful Vancouver island! :) I can offer home sitting through the day, or occasional night sitting dependant on my work schedule. We are currently living in a trailer which although lovely, is very small, so big dogs might be a bit squeezed in! I'd try to be out and about with your dogs rather than at home, finding shaded walks when its too hot.

“James looked after our two dogs, and cat in our home for two days and one night. He was able to accommodate us with short notice which was very much appreciated. He was excellent with the pets, and was very respectful of our home. We look forward to working with him again in the future!”

“Joanna and Mark stayed for one week in our home and cared for our high energy/anxious dog and laid back cat. They exceeded all expectations! Both are incredibly kind, caring and responsible people. Their #1 priority was the wellbeing of our pets, and they strived to make sure they were happy and healthy. Our dog and cat quickly fell in love with Joanna and Mark. They provided morning and evening updates along with photos to help put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Our home was treated with respect, and we returned to a sparkling clean house! We highly recommend them, and look forward to having them stay again in the future.”

“Keah has been sitting our Frenchie for some time now. She has been excellent and very responsive. Regular photo updates have been great too! She’s made it possible for us to book some last minute travels without any worries on our mind.”

About: i grew up with our family dogs being german shepherds and rottweilers, so i am no stranger to the big fluffy ferocious friends. on the flip, i have spent countless hours loving and caring for smaller dogs and do not discriminate! in between seasonal jobs and looking to wisely occupy my time, i’m happy to do day walks, check ins, house sitting, and anything in between to get those behind-the-ear and belly scratches! i take pride in being punctual, trustworthy, flexible to your needs and following each request to deliver an above and beyond experience for you and your pet

“Amy was friendly, a great communicator, and cared for Hunter like he was her own pup, taking him on long walks and beach adventures. She stayed at my house and was clean and respectful. She provided regular updates and photos and her and Hunter had a great time. He was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Amy for all your pet sitting needs.”

“Keely was amazing. We were scrambling to find someone to watch our dog and Keely took our booking request the same day to bail us out. Great communication and very punctual. I’d book Keely again for sure!”

“Excellent dog sitting! Cannot say enough great things. Not only did Claire help us plan our trip to a Tofino, her and her partner Etienne took fantastic care of our boy Charlie! Highly recommend their services. Charlie was a happy boy and had a great time to boot! Thanks again!”

About: I have had a dog and cat since I was born! We started living half the year in Mexico with my 3 daughters and husband in 2008. I joined Sayulita Animals while I was homeschooling my daughter and started fostering dogs in my home with my family. I have loved and nurtured over 40 different dogs including pitbulls, 3 legged Huskies and tiny sick puppies. Every dog had a different personality that comes with different needs. I give my animals alot of exercise and beach time. I'm a sucker for letting them on the furniture but also can follow friends boundaries and crate ideology. I like to keep my animals safe. Emotionally and physically. I love cats equally to dogs and my perfect Sunday is snuggling my dog and cat in my bed and listening to the rain. I am a semi retired restaurant owner who works part time teaching swimming lessons.My animals come to school drop off and soccer games and I rarely leave the animals alone. Of course the cat doesn't come along. If I commit to pet care, it is important my dog Camino is able to join the walks and beach adventures. I would definitely need other dogs that get on well with other animals. I am also flexible to leave my dog at home if your dog needs do solo walks and care. I follow the guidelines of the client and always use a leash for dogs. I am very careful in exchanging between car and home and use common sense and skills I use as a mother of 3. I have worked with many dogs during my fostering work .
