I am Lisa, a 50ish pet and house caretaker based in Victoria. I've spent the last seven years caring for a variety of pets, including but not limited to dogs, cats, birds and fish - each one capturing a special place in my heart. I am particularly adept at caring for senior pets, providing them with the extra love and attention they need in their golden years. I'm also experienced in providing critical care to pets, including administering animal First Aid/CPR, and both oral and injected medication. In addition to pet care, I am a specialist in house sitting and housekeeping, making it even less stressful for you to leave your home for an extended period. My experience in home care goes beyond just professional cleaning and organizing - it extends to ensuring your beloved pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space even when you're not around. A non-smoker with a valid driver's license and my own vehicle, I am perfect for the job of driving your pets to parks, vets, and wherever they need to go. I am also a skilled swimmer which is particularly handy for those dogs who love a good swim! I am looking to engage in house sitting, drop-in visits (to feed and play), and dog walking tasks that mostly fall in the morning to mid-day slot from Monday to Friday. Please note I am unable to bring your pets to my home for care. In addition to my years of hands-on experience, I also hold a certification in Animal First aid/CPR. Trust me with your pets and I will make sure they receive the highest standard of care, just like they would with you! I am fluent in English and am a proud Canadian citizen with a clean police check. Being a pet lover and animal care professional brings me great joy. I've missed the company of my own dogs, who have long since passed, and have found a fulfilling way to fill my love for animals by caring for others' pets. I take great pride in contributing positively to a pet's life and to bring a sense of tranquility to pet owners knowing their loved ones are in good hands. On a lighter note, believe me when I say, there is nothing better than seeing a happy, tired pet at the end of the day resulting from good exercise and play. Looking forward to being a part of your pet’s life starting from 7th January 2025. I have had the pleasure of pet sitting for many years, mostly dogs but also a few cats and a parrot. I have looked after a female chocolate lab while she was pregnant and her 13 puppies, which was a full-time job to make sure each puppy was given to a loving home. I have had four dogs of my own, but sadly no longer have them. Currently, I look after a family by cleaning their house and taking care of their family dog, making her food from scratch as well.

I’m a bubbly, fun loving, responsible, pet owner who loves creating relationships with animals that honours play and respect alike. I grew up with dogs around me (mainly a labradoodle and a bishon shitzu) and I now live with a senior cat and a ferret in Oak Bay. I am attentive and kind but know when to be firm about boundaries, especially with excitable pups. I have loved all the animals I have cared for and I tailor my care to their individual personalities. I am comfortable with administering medication and I’m happy to take care of household chores/responsibilities while I am in the family’s space. I have house sat and pet sat for many community members and friends over the years, caring for many dogs (big and small), cats, fish, ferrets, and even chickens! I love going on long walks with pups and I am happy to stay the night with animals when their owners have to go away. I always make sure to give each family a sparkly clean home to return to :))

I am Sonam , born and brought up in Bhutan. Currently, I am here in Canada to pursue my master's degree. I love reading, dancing, and going for hikes, but more than anything, I enjoy keeping myself busy with work. I am the kind of person who can sacrifice sleep for a little more work. So here I am, looking to find a job that will keep me busy and at the same time give me a chance to love the little hearty paws, the same way I love my packs in Bhutan. Times have changed, and I am happy that most of the animals are now taken care of. However, back when I was in high school, it wasn’t the same in my country. There were many stray dogs and cats that needed a place to call home, but people didn’t have time for them. Understanding this situation, I ended up taking home more than 7 dogs and considering myself their mother. While I am not a professional trained to care for dogs, I gave them all the love they deserve and am confident that I can do the same for any new furry friends I meet. Now, here I am in Canada missing my little ones at home, eager to feel the warmth of new furry friends and looking forward to meeting my new hearty paws family.

I am a single woman with an 8-year-old Rottweiler-Lab of my own. I have not worked professionally with animals before, but I have a lot of experience and have received compliments about my dog being the most well-trained pet a working dog handler has ever met, so I am confident in my training techniques for everyday training. I choose to train with a calm, yet firm demeanor, using praise (with or without food) rather than an authoritative, emotional demeanor. I believe that a calm demeanor with pets makes them feel safe and secure and provides a more positive outcome and response from the animal. Most of my experience with dogs is with larger breeds, however, I am comfortable with small dogs too. I have experience with dogs with behavioral issues. I lived with a former partner for three years whose dog was leash-reactive and had zero recall. He required a lot of advocacy on my part when we were out in public around other owners who did not have their dogs under control. He had his issues but was the sweetest boy! I also took care of a dog for 2 years from when she was a puppy until she was two years old. This was a dog that another partner had gotten and then abandoned with me when we split up. She had a lot of food allergies and it took me a year to find the right food for her. I had to administer many oral medications and apply topical medications to lesions from her allergies. She was also quite fearful and anxious about strangers and some other dogs, so I had to put in a lot of care and effort to building trust with her to ensure she felt safe with me and that I had things under control. Aside from all this, she was VERY HYPERACTIVE. She needed extensive exercise to tire out. For cats and birds, I grew up with both. I have had indoor and outdoor cats. I understand their feeding requirements and how important it is to keep their litter boxes clean. I know that indoor cats need mental stimulation provided by their humans. For birds, my comfortability would be feeding and cleaning their enclosures. I have not clipped wings or anything since I was a teen, so I am not comfortable with that kind of care. If I were to provide overnight care for pets, your pets would need to be comfortable around my dog, as I would have to have her with me. I also have experience with children from newborns to 10 years old, as I have a niece and several friends with children. If you are looking for childcare along with pet care, I would be happy to discuss that in more detail and see what your needs are. I love both kids and animals, and my dog is comfortable around children and good around most other animals. I have not worked professionally with animals before, however I have had my own dog for 8 years and I previously was in relationship for three years with a dog who was a challenge as he was leash aggressive, but also had no recall, so he needed special care to adhere to his anxiety and ensure he felt safe. A former partner of mine also got a puppy and ended up leaving me with her. She was very rambunctious and had a lot of anxiety and food allergies so it took a lot of work to build up enough trust between us in order to mitigate her anxiety and keep her feeling safe and like I had things under control. I was also very dilligent with adhering to her allergies and making sure that she didn't have anything that would make her sick. My dog Phoebe, who is 8 years old and I have had since 10 weeks, I have been told by a friend who is a handler for a working dog that Phoebe is the most well-trained pet she's ever met. I give her some of the credit for being so easy but I take the kudos for the hard work that I put in to training her too! When it comes to cats I have had cats all my life until 7 years ago when my cat passed away, but I still love them! I understand their dietary needs, respect their boundaries, and know how to properly clean a litter box etc.

I have pet sat many of friends dogs overnight at their houses or mine. I have also taken walks with pets on mornings and evenings and I was trained by the SPCA for dog walking in Gatineau, QC. My name is Myriam and I (like everyone else here) love dogs. I've been here 3 years and miss having a dog around, so really you're doing me a favour (truly). I offer drop in visits, pet sitting (at your place), and walking services. I'm very excited to get to meet your dogs (and cats), take them for walks, or just drop in to say hello and make sure they're doing okay. I am very cautious during this covid-19 pandemic, but any extra precautions, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I look forward to meeting your pets, big and small!
