About: I have owned and cared for all sorts of animals professionally my entire life. While pursuing my Bachelor's degree I continued to work with animals and study animal welfare and behaviour. I take great pride in my attentive nature and promised to go above and beyond for your pet! For the past 5 years I have specialized in senior and special needs care, ensuring that medication and therapeutic schedules are maintained while the animal's main caregiver is away. Above all, I love all animals and want to make sure that your pet is as happy as can be! I am also available to provide training and/or continue training plans for your pets so they never skip a beat! I ride and train horses professionally so I am home all day and all my pets have an active play area outside while my hands are full with the horses. Your pet will enjoy a "farm feel" house sit where their days are filled with hands on walking and hands-free play. All the pets sleep inside and are welcome to sit on the couch while we wind down with an episode of TV or two! I have a fenced yard with grass and dirt for your pet to play in. I also am comfortable with special needs cases that need to be inside or that are unable to play off leash.

About: I’ve been around all animals almost all my life and have always had the biggest love for them. I have also worked at veterinary offices and love almost every part of it :) I am currently doing online courses for school at skagit valley college and have an open schedule to help out with any type of animal care :) I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs would love and hardwood floors inside my house for when they are inside. I am fully capable of taking care of the animals however wanted :)

About: I love all kinds of dogs and pets! I have watched and taken care of both my own and friends pets for years. I love hanging out with all different kinds of dogs and have experience with both big and small dogs. I have an open schedule at the moment! I am back in Anacortes this summer before starting grad school this fall. I am able to board pets at the moment. I will abide by your and your pet’s normal routine at home and follow any safety rules you have set in your home. I always have my full attention on every pet when taking care of them.

About: I have owned dogs, cats, chameleons, and rabbits throughout my life. I’ve always loved the companionship a pet provides and have enjoyed nurturing such loving animals. I am passionate about providing proper care to animals and have a calm and patient demeanor with them. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and I also enjoy hiking with dogs to keep more with their energy. I believe in the proper care and treatment of animals and will make sure that all of my effort goes into providing the best care possible. I’m very flexible and willing to pick up and drop of at the owners convenience to save them travel. I’m an outdoor educator so my availability is on the weekends, but I am free for early walks before 8am on week days and after 8pm. I have some flexibility around dinner time given notice. I am more than happy for overnight weekday visits knowing I’ll be gone from 8am-8pm. In my clients home I care for the pets the same way a family member would, my job is to make your pet as comfortable as I can while you are gone.

About: Experienced dog walker and sitter in Victoria, BC. Reliable and trustworthy with small dogs and cats of all ages. Flexible schedule and a good communicator. Pet care fits into my flexible schedule as i am an online graduate student who loves to get outside for physical activity and animal care time. I am thorough with my pet care and make sure everything is accounted for. I make sure the pet is happy with food, water, walks, play time and a cleaned litter/backyard.

About: As a mature woman in my 50's with a lifetime of caring for dogs, including my beloved Hungarian Vizsla, I understand the special bond pets share with their owners. Recently losing my sweet boy, I’m more committed than ever to providing loving, attentive care for pets of all kinds. Whether it's a Velcro dog or a cuddly cat, I treat every animal like family and ensure they feel safe and loved in your home. I have a full and current police information check and for the vulnerable sector. I have Intermediate Level C First Aid CPR/AED and Pet First Aid as well. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am more than happy to chat with you to discover what works best for you and your pets needs. I offer pet care in your home. I may be able to accept pets in my home in the future but for now I will offer care in your home where your pets are most comfortable.

About: Animals are wonderful beings! They have a way of reminding us to slow down, be present and get outside. Having been without pets for quite a number of years, I am missing their presence in my life. I grew up with poodles, springer spaniels and terriers. I had two cats of my own (Ruth and Monica) and loved them dearly. I'm considering a move to a quieter (and more rural) part of Vancouver Island and am looking to explore some of the areas outside of Victoria and house/pet sitting is a great way to get a feel for other communities. I'm also interested in exploring areas of the BC interior. I'm a devoted, reliable, dedicated animal lover and I take pride in doing any project to the best of my ability. I have a care-giver background, having worked in dental health and as a yoga teacher for many years. I have lots of experience with landscaping and I love to garden. I love building connections with people & animals. I am 'trauma-informed' and am familiar with 'Force Free' training principles. I'm comfortable with older pets and giving some meds as needed also. I've recently received a refresher with chicken coop care --gathering eggs, cleaning and maintaining the coop as well. Let's touch base with a phone call first to get a sense of each other. From there, if the 'fit' feels good--I'm happy to meet up in person on Vancouver Island. Alternatively, we can meet on video to get a feel for each other also. Looking forward to caring for your precious animal friends. I'm working on some entrepreneurial and writing projects (WFM) so I'm happy to take pups out in the morning and evening for walks, and longer hikes on the weekend too! I love to hike and explore rural and forested areas. Exercise is an essential part of each of my days and I'm happy to continue the exercise routines that you have in place for your pets :). Breaks for 'play' time are great for pets and for humans too! As a detail oriented person with a healthcare background, I understand the importance of providing the highest level of care to your pets. All of my airbnb references are 5 star, as I believe in the importance of leaving a place better than you found it. I've got fantastic personal references also. I'm registered with THS and House Sitters Canada. I've got a recent police check also. I'm more than happy to meet and review things in detail over zoom or meet up in person on Vancouver Island. I'm happy to provide consistent, reliable and loving care with your detailed guidance and instructions. As a former health-care worker (dental assistant and dental hygienist), I understand the importance of detailed, compassionate care and supporting your pets needs and regular routines.

“Kelly's lifelong experience with dogs was evident from the very first minute with Maggie-Roo. Great rapport! She really listened to specific tips and hints for backyard play and I'm confident they'll have fun together in the future. Highly recommended.”

About: I grew up with at least one dog at all times, sometimes as many as two or three. I dog sit regularly for friends and coworkers. I enjoy spending time will all types of dogs! I am young, active, and love being outside. I am confident in my ability to take care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I work in town and my hours are flexible, so I can spend valuable time with the dog(s) that I am watching. Thank you for reading my profile and for considering me to watch your pup! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I work a full time job but can be flexible to take breaks between 9-5 to take your dog out. I also have a dog friendly office, so if your dog likes to hang out in that type of environment I can easily be a companion all day at work. I have two dogs at home, so I prefer to stay at the home of the pet I am watching and have my husband take care of our two dogs separately.

About: In my apartment complex, I’ve become the resident dog walker/sitter. Im a huge animal lover, and have been the go-to care taker for friends and family when they vacation. I am available all evenings and most mornings for pet-sitting. I work short morning shifts in a restaurant and work shifts tend to last about 4-6 hours. Weekends can be up to 8 hours. My schedule is very flexible and I’m willing to work with different schedules. I will not be providing services in my home because of my own old tabby rescue cat. He has anxiety and doesn’t handle other animals well.

“Lauren went above and beyond and gave us great updates on our cat, we look forward to continuing to have her sit for us in the future. Highly recommend!”
