House Sitting in Waldron

“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.”

David M.

“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 😅”

“Second time having Shyla stay for a week with my older dog, Georgie. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Kindest cleanest and gives you the best pup pics. Visited us beforehand to get a food prep refresher. I feel safe leaving because I know the house and Georgie are in good hands.”

Rachelle O.

“Jase was amazing with my dog!! It was my first time leaving her for more than 12 hours and I felt so safe leaving my dog with him over a weekend. He took my dog on a hike and sent me pictures which I really appreciated!”

Bonnie W.

“Shyrelle is highly recommended for dog walking and house sitting. She came in and instantly bonded with our 80 Lb Golden Retriever who is a handful. We found her to be on time , communicates well and just overall a really nice person. Shyrelle is the one you can trust with your pet and house.”

“According to Bailey, our Maltese, Pat treated him with attention and affection like never before (except from us) while we were away on Christmas vacation: he frankly hated to see her leave. Pat responded to our enquiry promptly and met with us on two occasions to get all the details regarding staying in our home, including Bailey's culinary details and exercise and sleeping preferences. Upon our return we found everything as we had left it and a very happy Bailey eager to have us go on another vacation in order to have fun with Pat again. We highly recommend Pat as she saved the situation for us. Initially, we did some "interviews" with a local kennel but were rejected since all Bailey did during the "all day trial" was try to escape. On future trips, Pat will be the first person we'll contact for the job.”

“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!”

“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!”

Elaine D.

“Camden was great! He was communicative, accommodating, and was patient with my cat as she warmed up to him. He was flexible with scheduling and spent a lot of time with her.”

Ellie H.

“Sierra took great care of Rori while we were out of town. She kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages. In addition, she took excellent care of our house, keeping it tidy and bringing in several packages. We will definitely have Sierra take care of Rori again in the future.”

About: I have owned and cared for all sorts of animals professionally my entire life. While pursuing my Bachelor's degree I continued to work with animals and study animal welfare and behaviour. I take great pride in my attentive nature and promised to go above and beyond for your pet! For the past 5 years I have specialized in senior and special needs care, ensuring that medication and therapeutic schedules are maintained while the animal's main caregiver is away. Above all, I love all animals and want to make sure that your pet is as happy as can be! I am also available to provide training and/or continue training plans for your pets so they never skip a beat! I ride and train horses professionally so I am home all day and all my pets have an active play area outside while my hands are full with the horses. Your pet will enjoy a "farm feel" house sit where their days are filled with hands on walking and hands-free play. All the pets sleep inside and are welcome to sit on the couch while we wind down with an episode of TV or two! I have a fenced yard with grass and dirt for your pet to play in. I also am comfortable with special needs cases that need to be inside or that are unable to play off leash.

“Brooke stayed at our house and watched our dogs for five days. She was responsive and took great care of our dogs and house”

Emma S.

“We were so lucky to find Kristin when our previous sitter cancelled last minute for our 2 week vacation. Kristin stayed in our house to look after our 2-yr old dog and 5-yr old cat. She kept great care of the pets, and our house was tidy when we returned home. We would definitely use Kristin again and can't thank her enough for accepting our booking last minute.”

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.

About: I've taken care of family dogs since a young age. I enjoy play time with big dogs in the great outdoors and have always enjoyed the physical exercise involved with keeping dogs active. I am employed full time, but my role as a quality control technician allows me a flexible work schedule with plenty of time to look after dogs throughout the week I can adapt to each pets needs as required. If they are more comfortable in their own surroundings I am flexible to meet those demands

“Sarah is awesome!!! And our pups loved spending time with her while we were away. Looking forward to having her help us for our next time out of town.”

Miranda G.

“Responded right away whenever I reached out. My puppers loved her!! My elderly orange boy cuddled right up to her and my cranky girl kitty even eventually warmed up to her!! Overall fantastic and I would book again in a heartbeat!!”

“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!”

Lise W.

“We LOVE Krissy! She was punctual, a great communicator and was loving and attentive to our dog. We were staying at The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas with our 6 year old Maltese, Coco. Generally, Coco goes everywhere with us, but in this instance, we were going to a show and needed a sitter. As we looked through Rover, we saw Krissy's profile and immediately knew she the sitter for Coco. She was fantastic! We felt completely comfortable having her care for Coco while we were away. She's kind, trustworthy and loving. Krissy even sent us pictures of Coco during the evening. We highly recommend her services!”

“I could tell Lauren was an animal lover when she first met our terrier. Gemma does not always trust new people but she took to Lauren right away! She is very kind and seemed to really enjoy caring for our pup. Getting photos of Gemma while we were away was comforting and we came home to a happy dog and a clean house!”
