“I was very hesitant to leave my beloved dog because she takes awhile to warm up to people, but I had no reason to worry! Kathryn was an amazing pet sitter! She won my dog over completely right away! My dog fell in love with her and even looked for her around the house the first few mornings after I returned from my trip. Kathryn sent me updates and video each day which helped to keep me relaxed to know my dog was so well looked after. I would 1000% have Kathryn pet sit again and I can recommend her highly.”

About: I have had many dogs in my family in the past and currently have three. I grew up in a dog obsessed family and I enjoy spending time with all sorts of animals. I have experience administering medicine, puppy care, all sorts of cleaning, and senior care. I currently am job searching so I am available all times of the week and day! If last minute pet care is needed then I am the one to call! I have a fully fenced yard and three friendly out going dogs that are also well around cats. I also have specific areas in my home blocked off to avoid any inside accidents!

“Hanna was so kind and calm with my dog, Penelope. We were in the area while I worked at a local business - she was very accommodating and flexible which I really appreciated! Hanna looked after Penelope for about 4 hours, walking her around and was even kind enough to ask if she could take P to her backyard where she was able to wander around off leash and sniff and have cuddles in the shade. Hanna kept in touch with me the whole time and even sent some videos so I knew what they were up to. Will absolutely reach out if I’m working in the area again, highly recommended! Thanks again Hanna ??”

“Breanne is our go-to dog walker. It's so nice knowing Rex is getting a nice venture and being well taken care of everytime she takes him out!”

“Shannon is great with animals and takes wonderful care of our pets. They’re dependable and always make sure the pets are happy. I’d highly recommend Shannon.”

“Sean has been the most regular and loyal dog walker we have had this far. He is trustworthy, always shows up when we need him. The dogs know when he is coming and are so excited for their fun they know they will have. If you have any needs for your pet and want to know they are in the best care, no doubt Sean is the BEST!!!”

“Cassie was amazing! Took our pup on lots of adventures and was super flexible. Our boy can be a bit of a handful and she did great with him. She will definitely be our first pick for pet care when we need it!”

“Dorothy was very dependable and friendly. Winnie enjoyed her day at Dorothy’s home. Winnie went on a 1 hour walk and felt very comfortable with Dorothy. I will rebook for sure!!”

About: I moved to Vancouver island from Salt Spring Island 8 years ago. I have 5 + years in the veterinary field industry which helps me provide care if need be to your beloved fur family member. I spend all my free time exploring the beautiful outdoors or cuddling up and watching a movie with my pups.

They’ll feel very at home💜 I have two well behaved fur babies who are always looking to make new friends and give your fur babies company! They love making new friends!

I am currently taking time off work to do what I love, to travel and take care of dogs, cats and any pet you may have. This means I will be home with your pet to give them A LOT of one on one attention and all the care that they need. I am very active so dogs with get A LOT of walks, hiking and fun depending on energy of the dog.

I am very attentive on our walks and I make sure that not only the dog is safe but that it feels safe as well. If the dog is ok with other dogs, I love taking them to fenced in dog parks if the owner is ok with that. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and all levels of energy and anxiety. A lot of dogs I care for have anxiety but I am able to allow them to feels safe and distract them with walks, toys and exercise. I'm very good at reading dogs and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I've been told I have very good energy. I've been sitting for more cats lately and love playing, petting and scratching under chin and making them trust me and purr.

“Tara is an absolutely beautiful soul inside and out and she brings her overflowing love to the pets of the world. She has been caring for my 5 yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback for almost 4 years now and has done in home multiple days many times and treats our home with care as well. She takes our boy out for wonderful walks and adventures and gives tons of cuddles all day. I highly recommend Tara as a pet/home sitter ❤️”
