“Sarah took such great of Luna while I was away. It is evident she is very caring and compassionate about animals. She provided Luna with excellent enrichment and play while giving her lots of love. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty in Sarah's care. I always looked forward to reading Luna's daily Rover card to see what fun they got up to! I will be booking with Sarah again!”
“Our first and perfect cat sitter Ashley went above and beyond! My husband and I traveled for 14 days and she took care of our beloved Peach, the cat girl and Rocky, the kitten boy. She managed Rocky’s medications, which requires a lot of attention because are many, and to help he is afraid about almost everything, currently finding new spots to hide. Patiently, Ashley handled the situation and both fell in love with each other. We received daily updates and photos, guaranteeing they were safe and happy. She also tidied up the house making it neat and clean, which we really appreciated it after long hours traveling. She is very special! If we could give her more than 5 stars, we would. Thank you, Ashley, for being so kind, caring and generous. We’ll definitely hire her services again :)”
“Ivy was amazing at taking care of our kitty George who has alot of separation anxiety. She played with him so much and gave him the best treatment while we were away for 4 nights. We came home to a happy kitty. We highly recommend ivy and would be a privilege to have her pet sitting again.”

“We really appreciated Jasper looking after our two cats. He was reliable and quick to communicate. Unfortunately we had to end our trip a bit early, but would we use his services again.”
“I highly recommend her! She was punctual and reliable throughout the entire experience. A couple of days before the visits, she reached out to confirm everything was still scheduled, which I really appreciated and found very reassuring. She kept me updated after each visit with messages about how my cats were doing, giving me real peace of mind while I was away. Before I booked her, she was more than happy to meet with me, and she was warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly very responsible. I felt completely comfortable leaving my cats in her care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“Courtney is a great pet sitter and was very patient with my shy boy. I felt very comfortable knowing that she would be keeping an eye on him. I’ll definitely be messaging her again when I need a pet sitter.”

“Clancy is a reliable and responsive sitter who provides lots of updates. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in good hands, and really appreciated all the photos/communication. I would absolutely recommend Clancy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter!”
About: I’ve been looking after and interacting with animals of all types, furred & otherwise, since I was able to stand up say hi! Well versed in sitting, walking (or jogging), playing, and providing care in general for dogs, cats & rabbits (well maybe not walking the latter two as much) for both friends and family, I'm sure I can provide the care and attention you desire for your animals as well. My most current long-term care experience is with a rescue rabbit I share a home with. I've learned a lot about animal care, respect, and boundaries by carefully observing body language and learning his needs. I enjoy learning more about his quirks and teaching him new tricks. In addition to the bunny, I currently reside with a few creepy-crawlies! Part-time hours during my weekdays currently often leaves me quite flexible, especially afternoons, for walks, check-ins or play-time! I am mainly involved in contract gig-work, which does fill some of my weekends, so I’m not always available Mon, or Th-Su, but happy to fit it in when available! Please check my calendar or ask about availability! I regularly enjoy going for walks (long, or short) around Victoria, so I'm regularly available for, and interested in, bringing a four-legged friend along for the adventure! I’m a firm believer in getting down to an animal’s level when interacting with them, especially with new introductions and being in an animal's home space, and would do everything possible to make an animal feel comfortable with new human interactions. I take animals' trust seriously and do my utmost to keep eyes open and respond to their needs to maintain those relationships. Making animals as comfortable as possible is my goal, and I'll do my best to keep you up-to-date on your furred friend's experiences while I'm looking after them on your behalf. I'm also happy to maintain, to the best of my ability, your pet's routines and expectations, and will touch base with you to learn as much as I can about your pet to set myself up for success! Let's chat and work together to meet you and your pet's needs!
“Richelle is a great! She recently cat sat our two boys for two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with her service. From start to finish, Richelle was communicative, professional and sent us daily updates with photos of our fur babies. It was such a relief to see them happy and well-cared for while we were away. It was clear she spent quality time playing with our cats, as they were their usual playful selves when we returned. Beyond their care, Richelle went above and beyond by leaving our house spotlessly clean. It was such a treat to come home to happy cats and a pristine home. We highly recommend Richelle and would absolutely book her services again, she is a genuine cat lover!”
“Stephanie was an amazing cat sitter. We were completely at ease and knew we could relax on vacation knowing Ollie was in great hands. Stephanie was a great communicator, sending us pics every day to show that Ollie was settled in nicely. I can highly recommend Stephanie and we will be using her again for sure.”
About: I currently have a Sphynx (high maintenance cat breed with very specific needs) so I’m comfortable with tailored routines, diet restrictions, and reading an animal’s particular quirks.. I also grew up with dogs (multiple Border Collies) so I know the energy and exercise they need too. Whether your pet wants constant attention, space, or a specific routine, I adjust to what actually works for them :) I am currently working part time, so I have free time in my week and would love to drop in and take care of your animal(s). Typically I work Thursday-Saturday, but am happy to accommodate as best I can if you need support during those days. In your home, I stick closely to their feeding schedule, walks, and any specific instructions, staying attentive to their comfort in their own environment throughout each visit. *I have a cat in my home, (2 bd duplex house). I am happy to have your pet stay in my home if they’re patient/friendly towards cats and my cat gets along with them -would need to discuss/meet & greet prior to me hosting*
“Anquia took great care of my cat, she kept me updated everyday and took a lot of pictures. I really appreciated her service. I highly recommend her to take care of cats!”
About: I have over five years of experience as a cat parent and caregiver, so I understand the love, patience, and attention cats need. I know how important it is to have a reliable sitter who will care for your cat just like you would. Whether they love playtime, cozy naps, or just having someone around, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule on the two days I work from home and am also available on weekends, allowing me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. Whether your cat needs daily visits, weekend check-ins, or extra companionship, I can adjust to their routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. When caring for cats in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine to minimize stress while you’re away. I provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box regularly, and give them attention based on their personality—whether they love playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet presence. I also send updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your cat is happy and well cared for.

We recently moved to the area and needed a new pet sitter for occasional travel. Danielle took care of our 2 cats and 2 dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She is friendly, prompt, communicative, and sent nice photos during each drop-in visit. Thanks, Danielle!
Richelle always does such a great job. She did a stop in visit today for my cat and played with her and gave her lots of attention. She always follows instructions and is great at communication and sending the cutest pictures. Highly recommend, thank you! Very happy customer. Jenn and Lilly
I’m so grateful to Sophie and Cieran for taking such wonderful care of my shy cat, Doki! 🐾 Doki is quite nervous and takes time to warm up to new people, so I was a little worried about leaving him in someone else’s care. Sophie and Cieran were incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with him, giving him the time and space he needed to feel comfortable. Their calm and caring approach gave me complete peace of mind. I also really appreciated how reliable, thoughtful, and communicative they were throughout the experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie and Cieran. They were wonderful with Doki, and I felt confident knowing he was in such caring hands. Thank you both so much for looking after Doki! I’m truly grateful and would happily use your services again. Highly recommended! 🐱❤️
