Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog fosterers and sitte
We have fostered close to 40 dogs mostly through the Victoria Humane Society. We also regularly dog sit for friends. Gemma, our 8 year old dog is used to having other dogs in the house as we have taken care of many dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and disabilities such as blind and deaf. We do two dog walks of about 30-45 minutes each day and longer ones on the weekends but this can be adjusted based on the needs of your dog. We also have a fully fenced yard.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
George has been an absolutely incredible pet sitter for my dogs. Every time they stay with him, I know they are not only well cared for, but truly loved. There are very few people my dogs will run out to greet and happily stay with—but George is one of those rare people. They are always so excited to see him, which says everything. He goes above and beyond with long hikes, making sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, and he’s always generous with belly rubs, butt scratches, and affection. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with them, and they adore him in return. What I appreciate most is the level of care and attention he gives—he treats my dogs as if they were his own. I always come home to happy, relaxed pups, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend George to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter.
