“Great communication and easy to work through details of the stay. Ron is a super kind person who will take great care of your pets! Don’t hesitate to book him to hang out with your pups!”
“Emma was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and was very clean and respectful of our home. Our dog is on the high maintenance side and she was able to manage him very well. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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 amazing with my dog. She had a hard time with new people but Chantal was calm and great and my dog warmed up very nicely. The house was left clean which was a huge relief 😅”
“Shyla did a great job with my Great Dane, Zeke! He can be a lot to handle, and she was awesome with him. She left my house spotless after her stay, too. Communication was excellent before, during, and after her stay.”
“Nathaniel was great! He made sure that our two kittens were as comfortable as possible, even when it took several days for them to adjust to having a new person in the house. He communicated regularly, and everything was exactly as we left it when we got home from our trip.”
“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!”
“Nicole and Cody went above and beyond to make sure my pups were taken care of! Our little girl has become a bit reactive at first hello - and they were patient, gentle, firm and kind with her! I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Jase was a FANTASTIC home caretaker & dog sitter for Zooey and Nelson during a recent 12 night stay. Jase was attentive and adaptable to each dog’s unique needs. Jase even asked about our house plants watering schedule that was not included in the lengthy care instructions. Jase left no detail unaddressed. Jase provided frequent updates and pictures of the dogs and was super communicative and responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; yes, I am a helicopter Dog Dad. I, as well as my spouse, are so appreciative of Jase’s kindness and care of our home and “kids”. I would rebook and recommend Jase’s house/dog sitting services to anyone in a heartbeat! Jase is simply the BEST! A 5 star rating isn’t enough; I’d give 10 out of 10 hands down! THANK YOU, JASE!”
“Katrina was great! She was super sweet to Oliver and left the house super clean! She was incredibly responsive and gave updates on Oliver while we were abroad! I would absolutely book Katrina again!! Thanks for being so kind to Ollie!!”
“Marta was WONDERFUL with our furry and feathered family. Arrangements and communication was clear and simple. Our pets were very well cared for and our home looked untouched when we returned. I highly recommend her for house sitting with your pets.”
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-give 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. I'm happy to meet up in person on Vancouver Island if an in-person meet up feels best. 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 :) 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 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”
“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.”

She is very health-conscious and outdoorsy. She loves nature walks & hiking and I’m sure would keep your dogs active and engaged in fun outings. Melinda is a very caring & responsible person and a great choice for entrusting the care of your beloved pets and your home to. Mary, Victoria BC Canada”

Over 7 pet parents in Orcas have booked house sitting
Orcas pet parents share their Rover experiences
Where to begin? Marta took on two dogs that have only been watched by our family since we brought them home six years ago. This was a new experience for all of us and she treated them as if they were her own dogs. She made it her mission to know everything about the dogs that she could and asked to meet them before she took care of them. She allowed the dogs to get to know her on their terms and they loved her from the very beginning. I saw pictures and videos of things she was doing with them that is nothing short of a miracle, these two had major separation anxiety and they felt at home with her. She is patient, kind, her empathy never ending. She is an exceptional professional and we will certainly miss her since it was a destination wedding for which she helped us out.
