Dog Sitters in Esquimalt

Gideon N

Gideon spent a lot of time with our two, active Australian Cattle dogs. He took them for several walks and jogs and played ball with them. He took the time to figure out their personalities. We could tell they were attached to him when we came home. He communicated throughout the stay and cleaned the house and my car even though we told him it wasn’t necessary. We highly recommend him, especially if your pets need a lot of exercise like ours.

Michelle

Amazing sitters! Took my dog on lots of walk and gave him lots of love. Left the house very clean. Very communicative. Would welcome back anytime!

Rosi

Rosie and her girlfriend Janet were mature, arrived on time and were self-reliant. I came back to a tidy home and relaxed pets. I would be happy to have them back.

Lindsay

Lindsay was absolutely amazing as a house and cat sitter! Very easy to communicate with and very thorough when asking questions. She took great care of my cat, Ember, and left the house very clean. She was also really good about sending photos and videos to make sure I didn't miss him too much while I was gone. It really put my mind at ease having her here while I was gone for 2 weeks :)

Ange

Angeli was a total delight to work with. She was great at communicating. Our dog Molly was in great shape when we returned and the house looked great too.

Jillian

Tremendous dog sitter! We were so fortunate to have Jillian stay at our home. Our dogs were so relaxed and happy. Excellent communication and check-in's throughout her stay and our home was perfectly taken care of.

Ariya

Ariya was a wonderful cat sitter. She was very accommodating as we needed a sitter last minute adn kept in touch regularly with pictures of our cat. She left the house very clean. Would highly recommend.

Laurel & Edward

We really couldn’t have wished for better housesitters than Laurel and Edward. Super-organised and reliable, they provided outstanding care for our cat, quickly building trust with him and sending us regular updates, photos and videos of him, which was appreciated very much. They really got to know the local area too, exploring many of the bastide towns and antique markets nearby. While we were away, Edward fixed an issue with our WiFi and on our return, they provided us with a splendid lunch and we remarked that our house has never looked so good! Our thanks to both for being such amazing carers for Tariq, who we are convinced would have gone home with them if the opportunity had arisen! We are hoping that Laurel and Edward will be around when we need to go away in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.

Kristen

Kristen did a great job of watching Emery for us. The house was spotless when we came home and Emery was relaxed and happy!

Keegan

Great communication and care for our home and dogs. Keegan and Jess were awesome - would gladly host them again.

Jill & Bernie

We invited Jill and Bernie back to our home for a second pet sit and I hope they are available every time we travel! Our pup loves them and she was exhausted from all the quality play time. The house was immaculate on our return, and it seemed easy for them and for us to do the handover for a second visit. We highly recommend this couple, they are gems!

Sunni

Tuxey is very timid and slow to trust. She came right out at night, and ate well. The care and consideration was really appreciated.

Lana

Arna took such good care of Uisuki, even when Uisuki needed extra attention and care cause of some health issues. I appreciated her daily updates and flexibility with my return time.

Eleanor

John looked after my dog and cat for two and half weeks and it was a very positive experience. He is personable, a reliable communicator with an easy going and down to earth Yorkshire attitude. He was very patient with my elderly pug, encouraging him to go for a walk when he'd rather stay on the sofa and also resisting his demands for ever more food. He sent me regular updates on them both while I was away and was also proactive about looking after the flat. 

I returned home to find a clean and tidy home, two happy animals and as an extra, much appreciated gesture, a box of chocolates and everything necessary to make a good cup of tea after a long journey. All this after he had been up half the night dealing with an unfortunate bout of tummy trouble on the part of the dog.

I would not hesitate to recommend him as a sitter and I believe his calm, mature attitude would immediately put at ease anyone nervous about leaving their homes and pets.

Susannah

Lucie was amazing from the start. Her communication was thorough and consistent and I got regular updates of my cats looking peaceful and happy with her. I would 100% recommend Lucie as a careful, kind and reliable sitter who will allow you to feel completely relaxed in your trip knowing your babies are in safe hands! 
Thank you Lucie, the girls miss you already!
