Cat Sitting in West Vancouver

This is the 4th housesit with Ron and Morgan. They are the best. They are reliable and trustworthy; they love our pets, and our house is spotless when we return from our trip. They are flexible and accommodating. Our pets get excited when they see their vehicle and hear their voices. Ron and Morgan are adaptable even having to deal with a large black bear in the yard. If you want a great housesitter; I highly recommend this sweet couple

Coral and Ken are supremely competent, caring, knowledgable and responsible. They made sure they had all the information needed prior to the start of the sit, kept in regular contact with us while we were away, efficiently handled every aspect of pet and house-sitting, and welcomed us home to two happy and healthy pups and a sparkling clean home. They took initiative - for example, contacting us when our peonies began to bloom and then droop, so that Ken could McGyver a way to support them (he loves a handy project!), - and were on top of the medication and rehab for our pup who recently had knee surgery. They not only asked us for the recipe for the frozen vegetable cubes we make for the pups when the ones we had made ran out, but they came up with a perfect name for them: "pupsicles"! They even checked with us at the end of the sit to find out what groceries they could pick for us, so we arrived home with a few comforts in the fridge. We know how very fortunate we are to have had Coral and Ken care for our precious dogs and home, and we cannot thank them enough.

Anara was a great sitter for our two old cats. Her communication was much appreciated, both before and during the sit. The cats were much loved and the house was clean and tidy.

Julie did everything that I asked her and did not have any trouble except couldn't figure out the paper recycling when it was clearly labeled. No big deal. I would highly reccommend them again!

This was the second time Vanissar has looked after our home and elderly cat. If she was available every time we needed a sitter she would always be our first choice!

We had to leave early so the handover was not in person. But they were wonderful about that and since they were experienced sitters took in their stride. Lots of photos, good comments from the nieghbours and I felt very comfortable leaving the doggies with them.

Mary was again amazing at our home and with our dogs! Cant say enough about how great Mary is.

We are very pleased with Estelle and Saronna! They are both very sweet and friendly and easy to talk to. I really appreciated the daily updates with photos of my girls while I was away! I have 3 bengals, which are a fairly active cat breed and Estelle and Saronna did such a great job keeping them entertained! Our place was clean and tidy upon our return and the girls were very calm and relaxed. We look forward to hosting them again! Thank you so much!

I would absolutely have Shelley sit my cat again. Throughout the process she was a dependable communicator. During her stay she checked in regularly to let me know all was well at home with my cat, Wendy. She reached out with a few questions and shared photos of Wendy. Wendy generally takes time to feel comfortable when she meets new people, but Shelley let me know that Wendy was immediately comfortable and greeted her in the kitchen. At one point during Shelley’s stay, a small section of ceiling drywall fell down in my storage closet. My apartment is in a 110 year old house and sometimes provides “old house surprises”. Shelley handled the situation with complete grace: she took a few photos and texted me right away. My landlord happened to be on site and was able to come by and address it. I really appreciate how calm and professional Shelley was in a situation that must have been very surprising and potentially stressful. When I arrived home, my place was exactly as I’d left it, and Shelley even washed the sheets and towels — above and beyond. Thank you, Shelley, for taking such good care of Wendy during your stay!

Richard rescued our holiday plans at short notice after our original sitters had to cancel at short notice, we are hugely grateful to him for stepping in and turning a potential nightmare into a success in a calm and efficient manner. Richard is a very pleasant man, quiet and calm and self sufficient. Our cat was extremely happy in his care and company and has missed him since he left. He was good at sending regular updates and didn’t trouble us with any issues while we were away. He also kindly offered to get basic supplies in for us for our return, which was very thoughtful. I’m sure had there been any problems , he would have been more than capable of dealing with them. The house was very clean and tidy on our return and he had also tidied up our drive and garden, which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. We would happily have Richard to house sit again and would highly recommend him.
