“We had Sarah stay with our pup for 5 days and Sarah was incredible. She made me feel so comfortable while I was away with updates and pics of our dog , it just made our trip away so much more enjoyable. When I came home the house was tidy. I would 100 percent recommend Sarah and would def try to rebook her again in the near future.”

About: I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, whether it’s daily walks, companionship, or sticking closely to your pet’s usual routine. My goal is simple — to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets are happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve been retired for about six months now and have been looking for meaningful ways to stay active and engaged. Spending time with animals has been a natural fit for me — it gives structure to my days and is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always had a strong connection with animals and appreciate the companionship, routine, and sense of purpose they bring. It’s important to me to stay busy in a way that feels rewarding, and caring for pets does exactly that. I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes and do not provide care in my own home. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions provided. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment, and I’m attentive to both the home and the pets while I’m there. My goal is to make sure your pets feel relaxed and well cared for, and that you have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Caring for dogs have been my passion for over 16 years, cats for a few years. I’m comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. From patience required for senior dogs or special needs to the playful energy of a new puppy, I adapt my energy to fit your pet’s personality. My approach is calm, connected and understanding, attention to details and genuine care. Dog walks are my favourite form of exercise, cat cuddles are my favourite way to chill :) From January to May 2027, we’ll be exploring Vancouver Island as a potential new home. With no other work commitments during this time, we have complete availability to give your pets undivided attention and keep your home clean and tidy. (Available for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits across Vancouver Island, Jan–May 2027) With 7 years of hands-on rescue volunteer experience, I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. We prioritize safety, clear communication, and treating your home with total care and respect.

About: I’m Sandy — an animal-loving sitter with 30+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Pet sitting lets me combine my love of travel and animals while giving pets lots of love and their owners a completely worry-free vacation. I’ve spent decades involved in Pomeranian rescue, performed home checks for Little Paws Rescue, and most recently was a flight angel bringing two pups from Mexico to their forever homes. I’m especially good with seniors, shy animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work part-time remotely, so your pets get plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a non-smoker with a peaceful, easygoing demeanor. I enjoy quiet hobbies like reading and yoga — which helps create a calm, relaxing environment for the pets I care for. I’m clean, respectful, and will look after your home as if it were my own. 🐾 Optional: I share my life with a gentle, well-socialized Pomeranian named Sable. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, and is fully housetrained, friendly, and easygoing. If you’re open for her to join me, she makes a sweet, low-maintenance companion — but she’s just as happy staying at home if you’d prefer a pet-free sit. References available. *Sable's reference: She was a therapy dog at the last dental office I worked at. She helped calm nervous patients, especially children. This speaks volumes about her character. I work from remotely part time. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets and caring for you home while you are away. While you are away, I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. My priority will be to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while also making sure your home is safe and well cared for. Pet care will include: Feeding your pets according to their regular schedule and instructions. Providing fresh water every day. Giving medications or supplements as directed, if required. Making sure they receive their usual exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship. Keeping litter boxes, food areas, and other pet areas clean. Watching for any changes in their behaviour, appetite, or overall well-being and contacting you if I have any concerns. Sending you updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you're away. Home care will include: Keeping the home clean and tidy. Bringing in mail, packages, and newspapers. Taking garbage and recycling out as needed. Watering plants according to your instructions. Following any instructions for heating, lights, security systems, or other household routines. Making sure doors and windows are secure when I leave. Letting you know right away about any maintenance issues or unexpected problems. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings and will do my best to leave everything in the same condition as when you left. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.

About: My name is Julika and I'm a lover of cats and dogs alike! I own a sweet cat named Lulu, but am also hoping for some more puppy time in my life. I love spending time with friends' dogs. I live in Ladysmith, and am open to drop-in visits and walks in the area. I will also consider in-house pet sitting opportunities all over the island, and especially in Victoria, where I work twice a week, and Vancouver, where I love to visit. I love going on walks and hikes and would love to take your dog out with me. I live in Ladysmith and commute to Victoria twice a week for work. In addition, I also like traveling all over the island on weekends as much as I can. It's best to just send me a message and we can figure out if the date works. I can travel reasonable distances for drop on visits. Availability will depend on location and timing. I am unable to host pets in my own home, as my partner and I have a cat that is very protective of the house.

“Jenn was incredible! She was so communicative, kind, and attentive to our sweet, anxious dog. She followed our instructions for him to T, and when we came home, he was just so happy. Plus, our house was cleaner when we came home then when we left! What a treat! Our dog has been nervous in the past with other sitters, but we could tell he was happy and comfortable with Jenn right away. She and Adam really have a way with dogs, and we're so grateful that we found them. Will definitely be booking them again soon!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years through friends, family, and word of mouth. I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around animals, so I'm overly happy to fill my time with some furry friends! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and sizes and would love to help with walks, boarding, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs a little extra exercise, some company while you’re away, or someone to stay in your home with them, I’d be happy to help I’m currently off work for the summer, so I have plenty of extra time to spend caring for your pets! I love hiking and exploring the outdoors, so if your furry friend is up for an adventure, I’d be happy to bring them along. If they prefer a relaxed walk around the neighbourhood, that’s just as welcome! I’m happy to adjust my days and activities to whatever your pet enjoys most. My goal is to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and, most importantly, feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I have a large, unfenced backyard with a spacious, fully enclosed deck, giving your dog plenty of room to explore and enjoy some outdoor time. I’m always outside with them, so they’ll have plenty of supervision and company. I’m also more than happy to stay at your home if that’s what works best for you and your pets. I know some animals are happiest in their own familiar space, and I’d love to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away!

“Korina is a very caring and responsible individual. She is amazing with my two dogs! I highly recommend her services!”

“Thank you Kathryn for your understanding today and helping fulfill the needs for Daisy. She clearly trusted you right away and your consistent communication allowed me to enjoy my day away :)”

“Shae was an amazing and calm dog sitter. Our dog had never been left with anyone before and she was able to reassure Ollie a great deal. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy. She went above and beyond taking care of Ollie and our home. We highly recommend Shae for any sitter needs and feel completely confident in doing so.”

About: I’m lucky to have two amazing dogs in my life, Luna ( a lady of a certain age! ) she belongs to my son and when she comes to me for her “holidays” we enjoy long, leisurely walks and/or a lovely swim in the ocean! And lots of cosy, curled up on the couch time. Then there’s Molly- who is a sweet golden retriever puppy belonging to my daughter. I spent a wonderful summer with Molly in tow, at just 10 weeks old, everything was new to her and delighted her. Although our walks were short, we went often and Molly made many friends in the neighbourhood! My daughter lives in the Okanagan Valley therefore, sadly I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with “our” Molly. Having said that, I do have lots of time to spend with your precious canine! I love walking and believe I would be a great companion for your dog when you can’t be there. I will strive to walk in different areas to provide visual interest to your dog and take the utmost care of him/ her at all times. I prefer on leash walks but am more than happy to play off leash games in your back yard. If your dog requires medication, I’m quite confident with that - recently Luna needed a course of injections and I was able to do that with no problems and obviously, I can feed your dog if required. At the moment I provide 2 kitties with regular overnight care and drop in visits. One of whom is diabetic & requires daily medication. I have lots of flexibility at the moment. I can offer week day and weekend service and am happy to tailor the length/ type of walk to suit your dog. I prefer to offer one on one care to deepen my bond with your dog. I am excellent housekeeper & live “lightly” in my clients homes.

About: I specialize in in-home care for cats and small dogs, offering a calm, respectful presence so your pet can remain comfortable in their own environment. I have a natural affinity for cats, including those who are shy, anxious, or slow to warm. I understand feline boundaries and build trust quietly and patiently. I also welcome small and senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace, consistent routines, and attentive companionship. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications and pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. What sets me apart is maturity, reliability, and discretion. I treat your home with care and integrity, and I’m happy to tend to plants and general household upkeep while you’re away. I provide thoughtful updates so you can travel with complete peace of mind. My approach is simple: calm energy, careful attention, and a genuinely peaceful experience for both pets and their people. Pet care is an intentional part of my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be present for feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. I focus on in-home sitting and limit the number of pets I care for at a time, ensuring each animal receives calm, individualized attention. My schedule is flexible, making me an ideal choice for vacations, extended travel, or busy workweeks. I prioritize predictable routines, medication timing, and maintaining a peaceful environment. Because I’m selective about the pets I accept, I’m best suited for cats, small dogs, and senior pets who benefit from quiet, attentive care. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind. I treat your home and belongings with the same respect and care as my own, ensuring everything stays secure, clean, and orderly. Pets are supervised at all times, with attention to their individual needs and routines. I carefully monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and provide daily updates so you always know your pet is safe and content. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, maintaining litter boxes, providing fresh water, and offering gentle play or affectionate companionship when welcomed. My calm, consistent presence helps pets feel secure, even in new or stressful situations. Above all, I aim to create an environment where your pet can relax and thrive while you’re away, and you can travel knowing your home and companions are in attentive, trustworthy hands.

About: Lifelong dog and cat owner (from energetic pups to wise old seniors). Clear and frequent communication with updates and photos. Comfortable with medication, special diets, and plenty of exercise. Love daily walks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. My remote work schedule gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with pets all day long. I balance focused work with walks, fresh air breaks, and plenty of interaction. Whether your pets prefer long adventures or relaxed downtime, I’m able to match their pace and keep their days full, calm, and connected just as they would be if you were home. I lost my 15 year old pup almost a year ago and I am now enjoying getting my fix spending time with furballs of all varieties in their own homes as I know my boi preferred that. I am very active and love getting out for walks and adventures with the pets who enjoy that and as an avid bookworm there's nothing better than reading with a sweet companion as company. I keep things tidy, secure, and peaceful so your furry family feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
