House Sitting in Friday Harbor

“Morgan came through for us on a very last minute house visit. She was great with our pup and even stayed late for us. I would highly recommend her!”

Vanessa R.

“Emma was a great cat-sitter! She was very attentive, gentle with Luba and very communicative. She provided regular updates and put me at ease while I was away at work. Very glad to have had her cat-sit!”

Shakya S.

“Kelsey took such great care with our two cats, Julian and Greta. She provided us with regular updates, made sure they were good on water, food, and litter, and went above and beyond to be affectionate and amazing company for them while we were gone over the holidays. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Chantal was very patient with my skittish animals and was even able to win over my dog! She left the house clean and was responsive when messaged”

Valerie B.

“Sonya looked after our fur kids for the 1st time and we are so impressed with Sonya. The dogs were taken care off and spoilt (in a good way?). We received regular updates and photos of the gang while away. When we got home, the house was cleaner than we left it, and laundry done too!!! We highly recommend Sonya and will ask Sonya without a doubt to look after our fur kids again. Thanks Sonya for being so awesome.”

Hendrik S.

“Heather and Paul are so wonderful! They genuinely love animals. Caring for my animals seemed to fill their hearts and I was most comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. Heather sent lots of pictures and I came home to happy kitties and a clean house!”

Angie P.

“Kyla was great! Took care of my kitties like they were her own. Very happy with her service.”

Siobhan M.

“Alexander arrived on time and communicated throughout the stay. The house was tidy upon our return. Alexander put in additional effort by watering our plants when he noticed they were drooping and refilled my hummingbird feeders. Our two dogs were well cared for and we are sure they barely noticed we weren’t around!”

Elaine D.

“Dani was awesome. She made time to pre-meet us and the dogs in the midst of our crazy snowstorm and terrible roads, which put us at ease. She is mature and calm. She communicated well while we were away (sending pictures), was flexible and accommodating when our return plans changed, and in general was a pleasure to work with. She had to juggle three dogs, so I feel we put her through the paces and she came out on top!”

Memet B.

“Nick did a fantastic job with our 11-year old cocker spaniel. I actually think our dog was sad to see us open the door when we got back rather than Nick. He was communicative throughout the time sending pictures and notes. The house was in great shape when we got back, as was our dog.”

Dan G.

“No words can express the gratitude I feel for the special care that Tobi gave my two small dogs while we were away for a few days. Tobi has to be one of the sweetest, most caring, intuitive and professional dog lovers I’ve ever met. My boys were happy and relaxed when we returned and we will most definitely be calling Auntie Tobi every time we travel to take care of Simon and Webster. Nine million thumbs up!”

Chantal T.

“Anya was a terrific dog and house sitter! We appreciated her flexibility as our plans shifted a bit, and that she took our pup on lots of long walks and adventures. We also loved the photo updates, and the respect she showed for our home (honestly, she left the house cleaner than she found it!) She is a very reliable dog sitter and we’ll definitely be using her again!”

Valerie C.

“Anna took great care of my young German Shepherd. My pup was safe, comfortable and happy - exactly what I was looking for. Excellent communication with her, the sitter. There was the perfect balance of activity and chill, especially given hotter temps mid-day. Highly recommended.”

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.

“Nabil was wonderful! Our dog was well taken care of and the house was immaculate when we got home. Nabil kept us updated amd sent photos as well. Great communication. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using Nabil again to care for our fur baby!!”

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.

“Kelly watched our 3 year old dog Margo the afternoon and evening of our wedding. She was friendly, communicative and trustworthy which allowed for us to have full confidence in her and enjoy our wedding without having to worry about Margo. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks again Kelly!”

“I somehow missed writing a review for Lily G for taking care of my pup Starling over the holidays. Lily was awesome! She is a fantastic communicator, easy to interact with and my dog was clearly happy to have her take care of her. I will definitely keep Lily in my radar for future bookings. JJ”

Jeremiah J.

“What a pleasure to have such a great sitter for our two dogs. Both are giant breed and one is a 7 month old puppy! The dogs were happy and safe, the house and grounds were looking fabulous. We cannot thank her enough…She even sent text updates with photos. We are so pleased to have found her.”

Lainey V.

“We LOVE Krissy! She was punctual, a great communicator and was loving and attentive to our dog. We were staying at The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas with our 6 year old Maltese, Coco. Generally, Coco goes everywhere with us, but in this instance, we were going to a show and needed a sitter. As we looked through Rover, we saw Krissy's profile and immediately knew she the sitter for Coco. She was fantastic! We felt completely comfortable having her care for Coco while we were away. She's kind, trustworthy and loving. Krissy even sent us pictures of Coco during the evening. We highly recommend her services!”
