“Bart’s new Besties”
From the moment we met Donna, Karen, and Dewey, we knew we’d found the perfect peeps and pup to walk our dog while we were away. They were magnificent! Everyday we received email messages, video clips, route maps and still shots of Bart showing Dewey – his new bestie – around his ‘hood. We’ve only been back 2 days, but each morning at Donna/Karen/Dewey time, he sits at the window, waiting for his new friends. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask The Petsitting Pros back again. Their passion for 4-leggeds is evident in everything they do. They even left a hand-crafted welcome home card with a portrait of Bart – such a lovely touch!

Ann – Bart’s Hooman
Oak Bay, British Columbia
Cared For: An amazing rescue and a mix of four breeds
☝️ More about this dog walking adventure:
Every day for 10 days, we arrived at Bart’s house to find him ready and waiting, tail wagging, for his hour-long walk. He and our dog, Dewey, strutted their stuff around the neighborhood marking every tree and bush in sight. Rain or shine, Bart was always eager for his walk. We made our way to the beach most days, where he loved the fresh air and the sounds of the waves. Bart was the best walking companion we could ask for!
“5 stars plus!”
This was our second time to have Donna and Karen look after our acreage and animals: sheep, mini horse, and dog. They are extremely conscientious and love animals. The house was in perfect order. We feel so fortunate to have been able to have them stay here. They handled a medical issue with our dog with calmness and professionalism… 5 stars plus!

Cared For: Border Collie, mini horse, 2 sheep
☝️ More about this sit:
We faced a medical emergency during this sit and quickly took the dog to an emergency vet. To ensure the home owners were informed every step of the way, we kept in touch with them even though they were half-way around the world in Australia.
The feelings are mutual
Thank you once again Donna, Karen and Dewey for making my life and ability to travel stress-free knowing that Tiger and Oscar are happy as can be in your care. Donna and Karen have “sat” for me many, many times and they are my go-to Sitters whenever I can fit into their schedule. (They are in high demand!) I highly recommend them for the love they show my pups, for the care they take of my home, and because they are an honest, kind and conscientious couple who have become very good friends.

Cared For: Yorkie Mix, Jindo Mix
☝️ More about this sit:
We regularly sit these dogs and one has major anxiety and is afraid of everything, With our gentle care and loving attention, both of these dogs thrive while their mom is away.
We were there to deal with a leak
Donna and Karen went above and beyond taking care of Inja and our home. They delt with a leak in our home and a delay in our return without issue. I am so grateful we had them as sitters during the past two weeks.

Cadboro Bay, British Columbia
Cared For: A Senior Doodle
☝️ More about this sit:
During this sit, we handled a leak in the basement and adjusted to a mistake in the owners travel schedule. With two of us, one could stay while the other continued to our next sit. We loved this dog and their family so much that we returned for another sit a few months later.
100 star review 😁
If we could give Donna & Karen 100 stars, we would! They truly enjoyed our cat & dog, you can definitely tell how much they love animals. We got daily photos or videos. Their communication was excellent, the house was tidy & clean. We never once worried about our home or pets we can’t thank them enough. Bravo.👏

Thrilled Cat and Dog Parents
Sidney, British Columbia
Cared For: Portuguese Water Dog, Maine Coon Cat
☝️ More about this sit:
We absolutely loved watching this cat and dog pair during this 10-day stay! They entertained us with their playful interactions, keeping us engaged. Dewey, our dog, particularly enjoyed the cat’s playfulness and cat-titude.
We feel lucky too!
Donna and Karen were just a joy to have at our home. They were super tidy and respectful of our space. Organized in reaching out to confirm arrival dates and times and departure dates and time to ensure it lines up. The house was left extremely clean and tidy – you wouldn’t know they were there!
But most of all, them and Dewey took such awesome care of Gordie. he got beach walks and fetchings and trail walks and park plays. Him and Dewey settled in so great together and Gordie had parents to love him and cuddle him while we were away.
We got lovely video and photo updates to keep us in the loop! Anyone would be lucky to have Donna and Karen and Dewey look after their place and we would love them back as we feel so lucky to have found such wonderful humans!

Cared For: A Cava-poo
☝️ More about this sit:
This dog was a delight! Our first experience with an e-collar was a success, as it proved to be very effective. With a few important commands, we kept him on his usual routine and maintained his status as a very good boy!
Highly Recommended
Donna and Karen are two remarkable people. We were gone for three weeks and they cared for our three dogs and our house beautifully. They came over a few days early and we enjoyed getting to know them and Dewey. While we were away they sent us photos and videos with updates almost every day. We came home to a clean house and very healthy and content dogs! We highly recommend Donna and Karen, and we hope to see them again!

Cared For: Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mix, Jack Russel Mix
☝️ More about this sit:
This sit made us fall in love with senior rescue dogs! This trio was a hoot and our dog Dewey fit in as he loved the nap-all-day vibe these pups live by. But when they got out on the trails for their daily walk, they had so much pep in their step it was inspiring and beautiful!
