“Nick and Rebecca watched my two cats for about a week. They were extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times! My cats felt at home and Nick and Rebecca were great with sending updates to me! I would definitely trust them with my cats any time and will be utilizing their services again in the future!”

“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”

“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”

“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”

“We had a great experience boarding with Criofan, she is kind, caring, and wonderful with animals. Her home and beautiful fenced property are set up thoughtfully to provide a fun and safe environment with lots of fresh air and exercise. We really appreciated the great communication and photo updates. Our dog was well cared for and made some new best friends. Thanks again!”

“Ben had a great stay with Tiana! He loves it there and runs right to her when we arrive. Tiana is a great communicator. We love all the pics of Ben and seeing him play with all the other pups!”

“Vicki was available last minute to look after our Ridgeback for his very fist night away. She was so good with meeting him for the first time. She was also great about communicating with us and let us know he had settled in nicely. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. Thank you Vicki! We will definitely be back!”

“Very happy with the sleepover, will recommend! I had been worried due to my boy being bigger at 70lbs but we had a good greet and meet. Thank you for a wonderful stay”

“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.”

“Kelsey and family are a lovely home for our little Yorkie. I appreciate having a local, quality dog sitting arrangement. I have no hesitation recommending Kelsey as a pet companion and home sitting service.”

“Bill and Gerrie are 2 lovely genuine people who in our absence have looked after our 2 furry family members in such a way that we are free to enjoy ourselves without worry or guilt. The personal and individual attention our dogs had during the home environment stay was great. Communication has been great throughout and we received regular updates and pictures of them both having a wonderful holiday of their own with Bill and Gerrie. We 100% recommend them both as wonderful sitters and have already booked another sitting with them going forward.”


“Bianca was amazing! Having another dog was so great and the picture updates set our minds at ease. She’ll be bored back home with us! We will definitely use Bianca again!!!”

“Cynthia was amazing! She sent lots of updates and pictures of my dog without me even asking. She took her on walks, and I could tell they were good because Kota was good and worn out. I highly recommend Cynthia and will rebook with her again.”

“Guinness really enjoyed his stay with Kevin and Kayla. He was comfortable with them from the first meet and greet, which made me feel confident in choosing them to care for him while I was away. Communication was great and made my booking super easy. I’ll definitely book again!”

“Daisy and her family looked after our little rascal Toby and he had a wonderful time. He is still wandering around looking for Nina and Sonia! A lovely family home very amenable to dogs - Toby had lots of good walks, play time and cuddles. Perfect in every way 🐶”

“Once again, Sarah hits it out of the park!! We love having Sarah and family take care of our Lola. She loves it at their home and they do a really awesome job!! Highly recommend her!!”

“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.”

“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”

“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.”

“Criofin was great! Our pup is shy with new people and had never done daycare before, but he got comfortable quickly playing with the other dogs. At the end of the day we had a very happy and tired dog. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Andrea took such good care of my girl Piper. Piper can be quite anxious (and as a result I get anxious to leave her with anyone!) and Andrea was so understanding and patient with her. She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”

“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!”

“Ben had a great time at daycare! There was playing with other dogs, hiking, and nap time when everyone was tired. Tiana is the best at sending pics! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our boy!”

“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!”

“Vicki helped me out on short notice and even let me come by the night before to ensure my dog would get along ok with her two cocker spaniels. Really close to UVIC so it was easy for me to drop off my pup and get to class. Thanks Vicki!”
“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.”


“Bianca kindly took Pickford for the day on short notice. Communication was great and I appreciated the photos throughout the day. He seems to have settled in very quickly and we came back to a happy, rested dog. Would definitely recommend.”

“Nicole and Cody took such great care of my 5 month old puppy while we were in town for a family trip. It was one of her first times at doggy daycare, and she had a blast! Highly recommend.”

“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”

“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. She is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Roxy is a great dog sitter and our dog was comfortable and happy in her care. We received photos and updates daily, which I really appreciated. Great place for him to socialize with other dogs of all sizes. He was definitely well cared for and came back more confident around other dogs. Would definitely recommend and will use her again!”

“Gabriel took great care of Winston and gave me lots of updates. Winston got plenty of walks and love and he was clearly a very happy pup when I returned. Really appreciated Gabriel’s flexibility as I reached out the night before. Would definitely recommend.”

“Amazing! Our Clyde had such a good time! Kinda funny as when I left him, he didn't even want to say goodbye to me. Instead just followed the children into the house to play. Perfect stay!”

“July took such wonderful care of my cat, Tillie, while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure Tillie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
