Top cities for house sitting in Canada

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Oak Bay home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Oak Bay.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Oak Bay home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hi! I’m Nusrat, and I’m passionate about caring for pets of all kinds . I have hands-on experience looking after dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior pets who prefer calm walks and extra attention. I’ve also cared for pets with special needs, including administering medications, monitoring health, and adjusting routines to keep them comfortable and safe.

Every pet has a unique personality, and I tailor my approach to match theirs. For example, shy or anxious pets get extra reassurance and gentle encouragement, while active dogs enjoy structured walks and interactive games. I also follow consistent routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise to help pets feel secure while you’re away.

Safety is my top priority. I always supervise pets during walks and playtime, ensure secure environments, and am trained to handle unexpected situations calmly — from minor scrapes to sudden stress in pets. I communicate regularly with owners, sending updates, photos, and notes so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and cared for.

I have flexible availability, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to fit your schedule. With me, your pets will receive love, attention, and personalized care — I treat them just like my own!

Hi! My name is Nicolas, I’m 29 years old and originally from France. I recently moved to Calgary, and even though I’m far from home, one thing that has always stayed constant in my life is my love for animals. I grew up surrounded by them at my parents’ home and also on my grandparents’ farm, so caring for dogs and cats has always felt natural to me. They’ve been part of my daily life since I was a kid, and I truly enjoy their company.

Now that I’m living in Calgary, I really miss having animals around, which is why I would love to spend time walking and caring for yours. I know how important regular walks and outdoor time are for dogs, not only for their physical health but also for their happiness and well-being. Whether it’s a calm stroll or a more active outing, I’ll make sure the walk matches your dog’s energy and personality.

I live with my girlfriend, and together we have plenty of time and love to give to animals. We both enjoy spending time outdoors and would be delighted to bring your pets along with us for walks in safe and enjoyable places. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority.

I’d be happy to connect with you, learn more about your dog, and understand their routine and preferences. Every animal is unique, and I want to make sure each walk feels right for them

As a dedicated cat lover, I provide reliable and compassionate care for your feline friends while you're away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I will make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Having had cats my whole life, I am experienced in caring for all kinds of cats and temperaments, and understand howimportant it is to have someone you can trust with your pet.&nbsp;

Home visits are 30 minutes. This includes:
- feeding your pet and filling their water
- cleaning the litter box
- playing with them/providing pets or cuddles, as requested. 

I also sometimes take housesit/boarding requests, offering extra peace of mind and company for your pet.&nbsp;

I work a regular job M-F 8-4:30, but am otherwise flexible with timing of visits.

I primarily serve James Bay but am also available in some nearby areas.I look forward to meeting you and your cat!

With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly understand that pets aren’t “just animals” — they’re cherished members of the family. I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to pet care, shaped not only by years of experience but also by being a devoted pet parent myself. I currently care for a high-needs cat, which has made me especially comfortable supporting pets who require extra patience, consistency, and thoughtful attention.
I am well-versed in medication routines, special dietary needs, behavioral sensitivities, and providing the kind of reassurance that helps pets feel safe and secure in their own environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, ensuring they receive the same level of care, respect, and love I give my own.
I previously provided pet-sitting services in Ottawa before relocating to Victoria and am excited to begin offering care here. While my “spicy cheeto” is very much a one-cat wonder, that simply means I can dedicate my full attention to caring for your pets in the comfort of their own homes. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, reliability, and genuine care while you’re away.&nbsp;
