Top rated Orcas house sitters
“Donna is amazing!! She took excellent care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our house, walked the dogs and took them to park for exercise. This was our first trip without the dogs and felt very reassured knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Donna and plan on requesting her in the future.”
“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!”
“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”
“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.”
“Fantastic sitter who not only took care of my little girl, but also was extremely understanding and flexible! Got photos of my girl happy every day while I was gone and it put me at ease that she was safe and having a good time ❤️”
“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!”
“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!”
“I could tell right away that I could trust Sierra with my 2 senior dogs, house, and chickens. On our first meeting she arrived promptly with a pad of paper and pen to take notes, asked great questions to learn what was needed and I could breathe a sigh of relief knowing everything and everyone was in good hands. She kept me updated while I was away and made sure everything was just right before we returned. House was clean, dogs were fed, chickens well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Sierra to anyone and will be calling on her in the future.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”
About: I offer dependable and attentive pet care for animals of all shapes and sizes. With a calm and grounded approach, I create a peaceful, safe environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, play, or companionship, I would love to meet your pet! My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m available to offer thoughtful, individualized pet and house sitting. I genuinely enjoy keeping cats company, walking dogs, watering plants, or just making sure everything feels cared for while you’re away. I’m open to daytime and overnight visits. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, needs, and personality. I strive for you and your pet to feel at ease while you’re away. I like to prepare for visits by learning what’s important to you and your pet, what you need from me, and what your pet might need in your absence. I care about cleanliness and do my best to ensure that your space is tidy for your return.
“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-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 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.”

Gabriella M.
“Gabby did a great job watching my cat, Potato! They sent regular updates with pictures about how Potato was doing. They kept Potato's litter box clean and her water full. Gabby has a calm presence that animals seem to appreciate. They were able to connect with Potato (a notoriously aloof/standoffish creature) with their patience and perceptiveness of Potato's mannerisms. But the end of the visit, Potato was rubbing up against Gabby's leg. Thanks, Gabby, for caring for Potato!”

Benny seemed to have more activity with her than he usually has while we are home ! She took him on frequent walks and drove him to a dog park couple times as well! Our house was left clean and as immaculate as when we left . We will most definitely ask her to dogsit for us again”

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.
