“Nick and Rebecca were wonderful. Not only are they caring people for pets, they have a great open property for your dog to roam freely. We will be return customers when we're back on Orcas Island.”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Most of us have a hard time leaving our dog kiddos behind when we have to leave town. Well - not if you’ve got Kelsey nearby ?. It was obvious from the start that he connected with our Lily and treated her like family. Photos, comments, questions while we were away kept us from missing her too much. And never worried for a moment…We highly recommend Kelsey (& his family when needed). Thank you Kelsey ??”
“My husky was so well taken care of by Kelsey and her family! She came back to me happy and tired 🥰 Kelsey was so good about sending pictures and updates too, which I loved. Will definitely be dropping aloo off again when I return to Victoria”
“Andrea and her family took great care of our Loki for a week, following the care instructions we provided and sending us frequent updates and photos. We felt Loki was in great hands, we would not hesitate to recommend her and book with her again if we are ever in need again in Victoria!”
“Maryanne and her family were wonderful! They watched our 8 year old, food obsessed dogie, Stella for four nights. They took her on walks, off leash dog park time and truly let her feel like she was part of the family. Maryanne was very easy to get a hold of if necessary and provided great photo updates. I got to meet her husband, her daughter and Max (their fur baby) for a meet and great before we cemented the sleepover and I felt very confident that the family LOVES DOGS! My husband and I are thrilled with Stella's easy temperament when we picked her up, which we know is a testament to the love, care and consideration that they gave to help welcome our Stella into their family. Thank you so much, truly, it took a weight off our shoulders while we were away.”
“Virginia was amazing! She was available last minute to take care of our dog. She sent updates and pictures and Blue - our dog got extra attention from her kids. I will definitely be bringing Blue back to her house for more dog sitting.”
“Sarah is the finest boarding experience we’ve ever had. Our dog wriggled out of my arms and ran up to her front door- how is that for Lola’s endorsement? We get picture and text messages frequently. There is nothing I or Lola would change about Sarah. So grateful for her service and love for our Lola!”
“Kim was awesome!! She took great care of Jasmine and sent me pictures daily & was in constant communication. I could tell Jasmine was having a great time and getting a lot of love.”
“Happy dog! Happy dog-mom! Chelsea was so caring-- especially during a hot spell. I trust her. It was such a relief to know our dog was in good hands so we could focus on our trip.”
“Lenore took great care of my dog. Scout and her dog, Rook, seemed to get along and it was great to know that she was staying in a “dog friendly house.” It can be hard to leave your dog behind with a stranger, but I felt confident that she would be well cared for.”
“Thank you for the great communication and caring for our fur babies! All of the play, walks and snuggles were greatly appreciated by our pups, washing his jacket was a very nice bonus!”
“Bailey had a great time with her new friends. She was kept active and comforted when she was fussy ( new place syndrome 😁) She has a new buddy in Ollie and I couldn't be happier for her care! We'll be back!”
“We had an amazing experience with Cynthia! She took care of Milo for two days and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him lots of attention and care. It was clear that Milo was happy and well cared for the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Criofan is absolutely amazing with dogs! It’s so clear how much she truly loves and cares for animals. She was incredibly dedicated to our dogs’ well-being, safety, and happiness the entire time. Her dog Albert was the perfect companion and brought so much joy, exercise, and positive energy to our dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Vicki was such a great find. For him, it was like being at camp! Vicki was so accommodating as she both picked up and dropped off. And, Paddington was so well-taken care of. We also loved receiving all the pics during his stay We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Heather was awesome. Great communication from beginning to end and King was so well taken care of. They accommodated our late return at pick up and even purchased toys to keep him busy. We will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter.”

About: I’m a proud cat person and longtime cat owner, and I’ve basically been chosen by cats my whole life. I know every cat has their own personality. Some are social and chatty, some are shy observers, and some rule the house with a quiet (or not-so-quiet) sense of authority. I love getting to know what makes each cat tick and earning their trust at their own pace. I’ll care for your cat like they’re part of my own little pride. Whether that means interactive playtime, respectful coexistence, or being granted the honor of lap time, I’m here for it. Drop-in visits can include feeding (even the fancy timed or automatic setups), fresh water, treats, bowl cleaning, litter box duty, playtime, and affection on your cat’s terms, of course. I’m also comfortable giving simple medications and doing light grooming. Got a specific routine? A favorite toy that must be presented just so? A cat who insists on things being done their way? Tell me everything as I genuinely love the details. I’m also happy to bring in mail and water plants while you’re away. My goal is simple: a happy, relaxed cat and a human who doesn’t have to worry!
About: I've been a trusted a reliable pet sitter for 15 years. With no kids, my schedule is flexible and I can give more time and attention to your cat or dog. I'm also very active and can take your pet for hikes/runs all day long! With a flexible work schedule and no kids, I can easily fit pet sitting into my day. I am around most weekends and care for each pet as thought they were my own. I have a fenced yard and a quiet home in a safe neighborhood. Living on Orcas, I am close to beautiful trails and parks that are dog friendly.
About: I have taken care of cats through housesitting and dropping in to feed cats over the years. I enjoy playing with felines and offering a calm presence. I can also care for several at once. I have administered medications to cats. While I don't have a great passion for deep-cleaning litter boxes, :) I am conscious and an animal's comfort and health is important to me so I am thorough and responsible.

“Nick and Rebecca were wonderful. Our pup felt right at home and was well taken care of. They kept us posted throughout the day with photos which gave us peace of mind that Beanie had settled.”
“Beth was nothing but amazing from start to finish. We were on the island for my wife's work event and she suggested we get a sitter so my son and I could explore the island dog-free for the day. With less than 24 hours notice we found Beth, she responded immediately and confirmed quickly. She asked all of the right questions so you could tell she really cared. My 12 year old son was worried about leaving the dogs, but Beth sent us text updates and posted pics and videos to a Google folder throughout the day. She took them for multiple walks and a hike. They came home happy and tired...they definitely had their best time on the island with Beth. I can't say enough good things, she was fantastic.”
“Wonderful home for my dogs, she treats them just like I do! It's important to feel like your dogs are safe and happy and that's what Roxanne provides them!! Great caretaker, thank you!!”
“I loved that she had prior experience with chihuahuas! She also had a dog that my dog could play with! She was super friendly and had great communication! I'd use her again if we're in the area in the future! We had a great experience!”
“Virginia and family took great care of Shay. I will call upon Virginia next time in town and in need of a doggie sitter. We were in town last year or early 2023 and she took great care of Shay then. I give her quad A+ rating !”
“I’m the lucky one to have Monica and her boyfriend. She’s such a fantastic caregiver and sent me a lot of photos all day long. It just likes that I am with my fur baby the whole day. Dongdong was relaxed in the pictures and made a new friend. I won’t hesitate to book Monica again.”
“Criofan was great, we were travelling from Edmonton and decided to do a last minute Whale Watching Tour. Within 5 minutes Criofan responded and we had Luna booked in to play for the day. We really appreciated the late night pick up at 10pm, was flexible for us to enjoy our time in Victoria without feeling rushed. The drive was only 20 mins, but was definitely worth the drive, huge space for Luna to run with Albert. Really appreciated the messages after dropping Luna off, put my mind at ease that she was behaving. Highly recommend, we got back a happy tired pooch!”
“First time using service. Our pups were treated so well! You can tell they both love animals. Everything was tailored to them. Great experience. Would recommend both Nicole and Cody!”
“Nick and Chialin were amazing with Frankie. Nick took special care insuring our girl had a relaxed, comfortable afternoon at their place. Took her for a nice walk and hung out with her while being kind and attentive. She came home relaxed and happy. Thanks for taking great care of our girl!”
“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”
“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”
“Rachel was wonderful! It was our first time using Rover and we had a 100% satisfaction experience. We met with Rachel in advance of our booking, she was very responsive to our question and quick to respond every time we communicated. She introduced our 8 month old Toller to chickens, horses and cats with great success. A kind and calm sitter, we’d highly recommend her to others. Thanks for everything Rachel!”
“We were really nervous about leaving Leo with someone but Vicki made the process so easy! She was so understanding and communicated with us throughout the day. Leo came home tired and happy! :)”
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. I’d love to make your travel easier by caring for your beloved fur babies while you are away from home. I work from home and can rearrange my schedule during the day to stop in and take your pets out for potty breaks or a quick walk or cuddles. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so if your pets overnight here, they will have my full attention. I live in Sidney very close to walking paths and parks for walks and playtime.
“Tippy loved his stay with Heather. He's an active puppy and she was so good and patient with him. We appreciated the updates and pictures showing Tippy looking completely contented in her beautiful home and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. Thanks Heather and we will definitely be using your services again.”
“Chris and Amy were great with Leo he seemed happy and exhausted when he came home. They were good at communication, sent lots of photos and asked good questions. They were very tolerant of our high energy puppy! Thanks!”
“Ramesh & Lauren are great sitters! They took wonderful care with our Dog, Georgia, and were responsive in communications. Georgia even pulls going to their place for drop off.”
