“Lizz was fantastic with my cat, Artemis! She took such great care of her on our trip and was very communicative the whole time. I will 100% go back to Lizz for future cat sitting! Thanks, Lizz!”


“Appreciated the last minute availability! Nicole and Cody were great to work with, and our kitties were well taken care of.”


“Alma A. has house sat and cared for our animals several times now. She lives lightly in our house. There is no trace of her when we return, other than relaxed, happy cat, fish and birds, plants that have grown, and a house that seems cleaner than when we left. She sent us photos every few days and responded quickly when we had concerns. We feel very lucky to have her to depend on.”


“Jase took great care of our 2 kittens while we were away for a long weekend trip. He fed them, played with them, and cared for them like they were his own. This helped me relax during my vacation, knowing that they were in great hands.”


“Sierra was amazing! She paid attention to every detail. This is my first time leaving Jasper and Peaches alone and I was worried about them. Sierra was thoughtful and attentive. Playing with them every visit so they were happy, relaxed and content. I plan to book with Sierra exclusively. ✨💫🌟”


“Shyla was the best sitter I could have asked for! She went above and beyond in multiple ways, including being willing to do insulin injections and taking care of my cats' other complex medical needs. She was very communicative and left my place in perfect condition. My cats also didn't act like it was a big deal when I came home which is always a good sign!”


“Perfect care for our cat, Leo. Nick connected so well with Leo and understood what he wanted when they went outside for a walk. Pictures and narratives kept us feeling confident Leo was in excellent hands! A+”


“I highly recommend Kaetlyn for your pet sitting needs. She was respectful and patient with my dog who can have stranger danger. She was prompt with her visits and I felt that she really cared for my dog. I plan on hiring her again in the future! Thanks, Kaetlyn!”


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 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: 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 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.

“Nabil took great care of my cats while I was out of town. He was very communicative with me about what they were up to, and even accommodated a schedule change I made last minute. Absolutely trust and book Nabil for your pets.”


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: 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.

“After some initial mix ups about our get acquainted appointment things went great. Kelly was good with DJ and he seemed to have a good time. If needed we would book Kelly again and would recommend her to others.”


“Maia was terrific with our cat, who is very shy with strangers. She put serious effort into getting the cat to trust her, and by the end of the time, the cat was even purring and allowing Maia to pet her. I also appreciated Maia's willingness to send me pictures and text updates of how things were going. Great job!”



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.

“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!”


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.

Petra P.
“To whom it may concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Petra Pinkerton, a remarkable young woman whom I’ve known for the past 10 years. Throughout this time, she has consistently demonstrated compassion, integrity and a deep commitment to both animal welfare and human care. Petra possess extensive knowledge in pet and animal care, with an intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviours. Her dedication and instinctive connection with animals is nothing short of inspiring, and she approaches each creature with kindness and expertise. Whether caring for household pets or offering guidance to others, she displays patience and professionalism in every interaction. Equally commendable is her work as a respite caregiver for a person with developmental disabilities, a role she has embraced for 5 years. Her ability to offer both practical support and emotional engagement speaks volumes about her character. She brings empathy, responsibility and warmth into every situation, and presence is genuinely uplifting to those around her.”

Lily G.
“Lily has cared for our 65 lb black lab Beau with great care and affection a number of times. She is attentive, responsible and someone that we (and Beau) are very comfortable with. Our sense whenever we return from a trip is that Beau is well cared for...he is sometimes a challenge on his walks as his attention is drawn by every squirrel and cat he sees and senses, but Lily is able to manage his walking habits very well. I can recommend her without any reservation. ”
