Pet Sitting in Nanaimo

“Sam is super accommodating and great with Finn. He’s a senior with lots of anxiety, but she’s flexible and takes her time with him. She came for a last minute drop in on short notice and was really easy going about it!”

“Lindsay is a very skilled dog care giver. She has given me great tips and tricks for caring for my new puppy. She has excellent communication and has gone above and beyond caring for my pup. Thank you Lindsay!”

“Great patience and consistent reporting from Emily. Never a concern about Heidi.”

“Really appreciated Kelly communicating through our visit since it was our first time away and our cats are difficult when it comes to feedings. Thank you again and would love to book in the future!”

“My cats loved her! She kept me updated on the status of my cats while I was away. Yuet is a very kind and trustworthy person. I’ll book with her again”

“Bethany is a gem! As a new dog mom I was very nervous about the process, so she came for a little meet and greet beforehand which was so helpful. During and after the visit I got updates and photos which put me at ease.”

“Eureka is a caring and loving pet caregiver. She treats my pets as her own. She is responsible and detail-oriented about instructions or specific things that my fur babies need. She is attentive to my dogs and I always feel safe with her if I ever need to leave them in her care. Overall great and truly recommend her!”

“Julie is a wonderful pet sitter and I’m so glad that we could book her to watch our dog. Jasper needs a little bit more care as he is an old dog who doesn't always get along well with other dogs. Jasper was so happy to have her there and enjoyed all of his walks and play time. Julie is our go to dog sitter!”

“We were so nervous leaving our cat for the first time but Alicia took amazing care of him. She sent us pictures regularly and little notes to tell us how he was doing. I would recommend her to anyone and have already told friends about this service.”

“Danielle was lovely to work with. Her love for animals was evident from the moment we met her. She was reliable and showed up every day and kept us updated with how her visits went. Would definitely recommend Danielle and we will rebook with her.”

“Barb is a remarkable person who will love and care for your dogs as if they were her own. Simply put, our dogs past and present have really connected with and loved Barb. I always say that dogs are the best judge of character and they have their way of showing it through reciprocal love. Your dog(s) will let you know as soon as they connect, that Barbara is a perfect match! Our standard poodle, Kona literally jumps twirls in the air when Barbara steps in the door then cuddles up beside her as close as she can get! She can’t wait for her walks and runs with Barb! Barb will provide the most compassionate care for your fur babies. Having an innate ability to connect with dogs makes her the ideal caregiver in your absence. Barbara has owned dogs her whole life and really knows how to properly and compassionately care for them. Her experience and skills through having dogs of her own will surely give you the confidence and peace of mind you will want when entrusting your pets unto her care. She has proven time and again that she can be trusted to give the best care and love to our dogs. Whether your dog needs medication administered, active walks or runs, play time, or just cuddles and love, you will be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing you have left your precious pet in the best possible hands!”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life but recently haven’t because my fiancé is allergic. I’ve recently spent some time hosting my mothers dog in my home and have found that it is possible to do with said allergies not being affected. Currently I own a cat and a leopard gecko, so friendly pets for boarding is a must! I currently work as a travel care aide but I don’t have a contract right now so I am available 24/7, till the end of summer. I have my own vehicle. I live by VIU so I have plenty of quiet, unpopulated trails around my house, for reactive pups. Although I live in a townhouse, I have tons of access to open fields to run and play.

“Melissa was FANTASTIC! So thoughtful and really cared about our cats. It was the first time we had been away since adopting them, and I was a little stressed but we received great updates and pictures! It put me right at ease. You can tell right away Melissa really cares for your fur babies :) Our kitties were very well looked after!”

“Hanna cat sat for me and immediately got along with my cat and took great care of him. She’s a very caring and dependable individual.”

“We went away for a weekend to a wedding and we were not able to bring our pup. This was our first experience with Rover and Jazmyn exceeded our expectations. She made sure our pitty mix got a good walk, food and some love! We will be using her services again, we highly recommend Her for all your pup care needs!!”

“Martha did drop in visits at our house with our two dogs, one old dog and one crazy, large puppy. She was wonderful! She sent lots of video and updates and our dogs were happy. I would recommend Martha for dog care and will be a repeat customer. Thank you Martha! :)”

“Highly recommend!! Janelle was amazing. From the moment we met her, we knew our 17 year old cat Rick was in perfect hands. Janelle sent us detailed updates after each visit and took some incredible photos of our old boy. Our experience with Janelle was beyond our expectations! We definitely look forward to her next visit!”

“If you are looking for a highly responsible individual to care for your dog - Andie is your girl! Be careful though… dogs have been known to fall in love with her! Andie has a natural connection with animals. I would highly recommend Andie to care for your dog. We had multiple foster dogs that Andie worked with- and always showed love, kindness and respect while somehow maintaining a leadership role.”

“Germán is an outstanding pet sitter who I've known for years. Their commitment to the safety and well-being of animals is unmatched. They create a nurturing environment where pets thrive, and their dedication to building trust with both pets and their owners is remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Germán to anyone in need of a loving and responsible pet care.”

About: I am a certified pet nutritionist. I’ve worked in doggy day cares, dog walking, grooming and bosleys! I have a 1 year old Aussie shepherd named Ruth and 13 year old German Shepherd named Ranger, along with 2 cats and 2 horses! I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages. I have experience working with pets that have medical conditions and/or allergies and I am comfortable giving any medications needed from pills to syringes! I am currently in the process of getting my Lash tech certification! I am able to work for Rover full time at the moment and hopefully move to part time as I do lashes! I might also mention, I am looking for models for my lash business, they are completely free as I am just starting out so if you or anyone you know wants some free lashes I will also be accepting new clients as well! I love taking Ruth to the dog park, beach or river to let out all that energy on the days I have her! My father works for a company that requires him to drive up and down the island so I offered he take Ruth so he’s got some company, she always looks forward to their road trips and exciting new smells so a lot time she’s not home with me. I recently moved to downtown Nanaimo located right near Maffeo Sutton park and the waterfront, perfect for any last minute walks or splashes!
