“Shawn was incredible with our young and highly energetic puppy! He went above and beyond to work with him. Our daily photos and videos kept our minds at ease. While we were trapped with the Air Canada debacle, Shawn and his wife were flexible to help care for Paxton when we needed it most. I'd reccomend him and his family to anyone. They were fantastic and easy to work with!”
“Gabriella is an excellent dog sitter. My Maggie (dog) and Gabriella bonded instantly; from the moment I saw Maggie greeted her moving her tail and standing on her two legs; I knew i had chosen the right person to look after my dog. I received daily updates with photos while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you Gabriella. I recommend her immensely; if i could give her 10 stars; i would. I will ho back to her next time I go away.😃”
“Heather was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was very easy to work with and went above and beyond with our doggy. She treated her as her own, and kept us updated with photos and text messages.”
“Ayesha was very responsive & great to deal with! Finley had a fantastic weekend with them. Ayesha sent picture updates and checked in throughout the long weekend to let us know how it was going. I would 1000% rebook with her!!”
About: I've cared for dogs for over 20 years of my own. I am a big dog lover and enjoy the love and joy they bring. I have groomed and clipped nails for my own dogs. My family loves going for walks and playing at the park by our house which is a perfect place for a dog to run and play! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools her two boys. So there will be lots of time to play and cuddle with your little four legged friend. We love to be outside enjoying fresh air. We have a fenced backyard for bathroom breaks and tine outside. We have space for a crate if needed or we can place a bed in our room for your pup. We want to accommodate what's best for your dog so we're flexible in thoughts and ideas.
“Nikhil cared for our dog Maddie, when we were out of province. He was kind enough to keep us updated with videos of our dog, who was happily playing. His communication was especially excellent when doing a meeting and greet, and when booking his services. We would not hesitate to have Nikhil care for Maddie in the future. Thank you Nikhil!”
“Happy to have found Peggy! She was a clear & quick communicator. She welcomed & loved Bella and made me very comfortable to leave her. We will book her again and would recommend her.”
“Ashlie was great with our dog, Karlee. Normally, it takes Karlee (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) a few days to warm up to new people. Ashlie was able to get Karlee to relax and enjoy her week very soon after she arrived. I got cute pictures all week, with comments. I really appreciated that! I highly recommend Ashlie!”
“amazing!! first time Rover users who have an anxious dog and Sheena exceeded our expectations. will definitely be using her again. thank you Sheena for loving our dog the way we do! ❤️”
“This is our first time dropping our dog off to stay somewhere overnight. Dolly put all our nervousness to rest. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. It was evident from the videos and pictures she sent that our dog was having a great time! She got lots of exercise and play time, and we would gladly trust Dolly with her again. Our dog was not sure she wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“First time asking Danielle to look after my dog and am very happy with how it went. I am completely confident Birdie had a great time and was given loads of love and attention. I really appreciated all the photo and video updates and excellent communication. Sounds like Danielle’s own dog was a lovely companion for Birdie as well.”
“Jennifer and Al are lovely. They respond very quickly and sent me lots of updates and photos. Really appreciate how accommodating of Dory's special diet and reactivity they are. Dory seemed to have a good time chasing their son's RC car!”
About: I am a dog lover, and have run, trained, and explored with dogs almost every day of my life! I have three dogs of my own, and have always had busy working dogs with me. I spend the majority of my personal time training dogs, and I have experience with reactive dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with very, very high energy requirements, as well as your classic couch potatoes. My goal is to meet every dog where they are at and give them their very best day, whether that means taking them out on a big adventure, snuggling them, or letting them run wild on my 5 acres. I work full time as a teacher, and during the week can fit in dog walks or drop in visits in the mornings and evenings before or after work. My weekends are open to take dogs on adventures! When I am out on summer break June through August, I have full availability to wear out dogs. Dogs are always very closely supervised in your yard or mine (line of sight). We will work together to develop a plan if your dog participates in adventure days dependent on your dog’s individual needs. Options include: leash, long line, GPS collar, etc.
“Molly is always so excited to go to Denise’s…when we arrive she can hardly wait until we leave! I never have a worry or concern when Molly is with Denise. Thank you again and again!”
“Ronika and her family were excellent hosts for Charlie!. Very communicative, flexible, easy going and accommodating during drop-off, pick-up and even some schedule changes! Charlie had so much indoor and outdoor fun. They made him part of their family. I would not hesitate to book another stay with them!”
“Second time Frankie has stayed with Carl and everything was great. I highly recommend him to others looking for a pet sitter. It is so nice to have photos to see what she gets up to during her stay. We will for sure use Carl again the next time we need a sitter for Frankie!”

“I'd like to extend my thanks to Taylor for taking excellent care of my two kitties while I was away! She went above and beyond, spent time playing with my pets, and managed great updates with pictures - even of my super shy cat who likes to hide from strangers! My pet received his medication on time every day and all food and water was topped up when I got home. Great job!”
“She is amazing! My cats were happy when I got home and she made herself available when we felt the cats needed more attention. She is wonderful and I highly recommend!”
About: Currently volunteering at the BC SPCA I've also owned and taken care of dogs as long as I can remember from puppies to seniors (my oldest dog living to be 15 and all the care that requires) Training my pups up to be respectable companions and making sure they get all the exercise they need. I still frequently sit for friends and families dogs and I decided this could be a good first step to a career with animals. I'm currently volunteering at the SPCA. Beyond the time I spend there I have all the free time in the world and hope to spend it taking care of your pets I have a decent size yard for your pet to run around in and would follow all instructions and guidelines any clients would have. Taking care of a friend's puppy recently has made me very aware of things to keep clear of him and to keep him clear of in my house. I'll always be sure to run and play all the energy they have out of them so they're too tired to misbehave.
“Thank you so much for the care both of you take with our kitties. Victoria and Kurtis keep an attention to detail in care and consideration of our pets. Thank you for the great communication and pictures. We look forward to the next time!”
About: 🐾 Hi, I'm Brianna! If you're looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, you've come to the right place! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have experience providing pet care through Rover and genuinely love spending time with animals. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they're having and enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, attentive, and responsive. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority, and I'll treat them with the same love and care I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend and providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience every time. 🐶🐱❤️ My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I do my best to follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I'm also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever I'm available. Your pet's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. I always provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and affection. I carefully monitor pets during walks and outdoor time and follow all instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, and routines. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Ashlie was wonderful to work with and took good care of our kitties while we were away! She stayed in touch and sent pictures which we really appreciated! Will definitely use her for future service!!”
“Sarah was amazing! I work away for 2 weeks at a time and having someone you can rely on to check in and keep you updated is hard to find! I am so blessed to have been able to meet Sarah as she has updated me on all visits with videos and photos! Thank you Sarah for all the help!!! Will definitely be having her again!”
“Maelyn was FANTASTIC and went above and beyond. She was great at communicating, asking many thoughtful questions beforehand which made it clear she was paying attention to the details and offered to come by for an introduction beforehand. She spent several hours more than was required for a drop in visit keeping our kitty company and sent photos and wrote detailed reports. She even watered our seedlings for us! Would highly recommend her.”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I’ve done training with multiple dogs, which has helped me build a strong understanding of behaviour—especially with younger pups. I also have a reactive dog, so I’m very comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and creating a calm, safe environment. Because of this, I feel confident caring for dogs with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I’ve provided dog and cat sitting for many families, so I’m used to following different routines and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I always treat every animal like my own. I truly love meeting new people and their pets, and I’d be happy to care for yours! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out 😊 I am currently not working as I just finished my Bachelor's, so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your animal(s). Since owning a reactive dog I know how important it is to have a safe & trusting environment. I also understand the importance of routine and am more than happy to help with that in anyway possible.
About: I have been a dog owner most of my life but due to our travels I do not have a pet at this time. My last pet was a boxer who lived to be almost 14 years old. My neighbour had a lovely dog and she has many times referred to me as the "other Mom" and often droped her dog off if she is going out for any extended period of time even though she know the dog would be fine on her own. All my friends know I have a passion for animals and miss owing a pet very much. I am retired and did accounting for several small businesses. My husbands background is in banking and he is also retired but doing business consulting for small businesses. If I was chosen to pet sit in your home you can be assured that all would be well and your pets spoiled rotten! I consider myself a very reliable and trustworthy person and am known for my promptness. I am currently retired and spent winters in Mexico where I was voluntering at a local humane society walking, cuddling dogs and cats. I would love to look after your pets in your home or take them walking. Unfortunately no pets are allowed in my complex. I have had years of experience with cats and dogs. Very passionate with all animals. Love walking, cuddling, feeding. I would treat all as my own.
“Sarah stayed with our cats and house-sat for a week during one of the hottest weeks of the summer! Not only did she take great care of the kitties, she also took treat care of the house and the gardens ensuring everything was properly maintained during our absence. We got regular updates and photos of all the cats from her, and she was very responsive to any messages sent her way. We have no hesitation re-booking or recommending Sarah for any pet parents out there!”
“Our cat had a great time with Frank. Although we didn’t have internet where we were, it was good to see Franks pictures upon our return. I would recommend Frank very highly, and we will definitely request his services in the future”

“Nikhil and his partner Jharna took care of my dog like their own child. My dog is a husky mix and needs couple of hours a day for walks and calm atmosphere at home. They give her plenty of walks, ensure she is well fed. She used to be picky eater and they would make sure she eats her meals with food toppings. They regularly update us with how she is doing. Most importantly, they give her lots of love. They are great in communicating about confirmation and pick up. This is my second time boarding my dog with them and my dog comes back happy and relaxed. Thank you!”
“Baxter was very excited to see Heather again after our meet and greet a couple of months ago - he led me right to her door! Her dog and mine were good playmates and company. Baxter is fairly energetic since he's just 1 yr old so Heather ensured that he had some outdoor play time as well. I would definitely recommend Heather and will likely book her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was child, have been a rabbit owner for over ten years, and have two cats! I grew up in a farm, so not much in the way of animals scares me! Over the summer, I’m free as a bird! Once the fall comes around, I may not be as available with school obligations, but I can always make time for a furry friend I always remain calm and quiet with animals I’m first meeting in order to build trust, and get to know them. Each pet is different, and needs different treatment and I’m happy to adjust my routine and behaviours as is needed for each little creature I care for.

Even trail runs are on the table! I was raised on a hobby farm and comfortable with all dogs of any size. My daughter is ambitious and would like to get into dog sitting as she gets older. She is currently saving up to get her own goats. I will always be present and my daughter will only be there to help I recently sold a business and am now taking a few years to focus on my kids and helping out. My schedule is fairly flexible. Ideally my daughter will join me as much as possible. She loves animals and pampers them as much as possible. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for your dog. We have a fenced yard where our dog runs around. He spends most of his time indoors though. We live on a half acre so lots of room to run around and play.

“Brianna has been amazing with helping walk our dog, Molly. Molly is nervous with new people and situations, but warmed up to Brianna really quickly. Brianna is someone who just gets dogs and I feel really comfortable with Molly in her hands.”
“Taylor was great with Roscoe. She walked him 2x per day for almost 2 weeks. Roscoe is a big 120 lb XL Bully and she handled him fine. The day before Taylor was scheduled to walk Roscoe, I had taken him hiking up to Sasquatch Mountain ski resort. I think the shale rocks caused his nails to bleed. Taylor noticed that the next day when she began walking him. She notified me of the issue and then she applied Styptic Powder to his feet and the bleeding stopped. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a reliable and qualified dog walker.”

About: I have trained dogs and horses since I was a teenager and bred Basset Hounds for over 10 yrs. I love, and have worked with most breeds of dog, and am comfortable with giving shots, meds, and walking/working with hard-to-control pets. I love to snuggle and I personally walk about 10km/day. I have an 11-year-old female Basset named Barney that loves all dogs and cats and has helped me with training many times over the years..... including calming feral cats that I fostered. I love all new experiences, and can't wait to meet your pet. I travel a lot, but if you give me enough notice for a long stay I can usually make it work. I do have an older female Basset hound who is very friendly that would need to come with me. I prefer longer stays (weekly or monthly) while you're away. In your home, I am happy to work with whatever rules you have. I don't mind going for walks or to the park if your dog is good in the car and with other pets. I need to bring Barney with me, she cant be left alone for long periods of time.
“I was very pleased with Ayesha's care for Roscoe while I was out of town. She noticed his paw was irritated from a hike I previously took him on and notified me immediately. She even made adjustments to her walks with him to avoid walking him on pavement and instead kept him on grass most of the walk. Roscoe is a big dog and she was able to manage him well. You'll be happy with her.”

About: For as long as i can remember, I've always loved dogs. Pretty much all of my family members had them when I was growing up. But my mom always said no to me getting one. So everywhere I went, when I saw any dog I would always have to go out of my way to say hi to the puppy (I still do this to this day). As I got older I started to realize that everywhere i went, every dog that I would meet would come right to me for love, even if the dog was usually afraid of people. So I felt like I needed to do something with that. I have always had such a passion working with and being around animals. I have previously worked at a doggy day care for over a year, and I've also previously worked at mr pets in Abbotsford for over 2 years, being the main person taking care of all different types of animals. When your pets are in my care I will always show them nothing but love and compassion. I promise, your babies will be in amazing hands. I will play outside (if you have the space in your yard) with your puppies so they get all their energy out and I will take them on walks around your neighborhood (if leash trained) when house sitting or if asked to go for walks! Your babies will get the utmost attention and cuddles while they are in my care that I promise you will never have a thing to worry about. Whether I am coming to just take your dog out for a walk, to spend some time with them or to watch them while you are away, your babies will be very well taken care of. With lots of playtime, cuddles and exercise. ( I love all animals, so depending on what type of pet you have, we can work out prices for the animal(s) you'd need taken care of) 🐶🐱🐹🐭🦔🐇🐍🐦🐠🦜🦎 PLEASE READ. I have 5 cats of my own that are not dog friendly. So unfortunately I cannot dog sit at my house. But I am more than happy to come to your home and watch your fur babies. Please if you are interested in any animal care, feel free to message me to set up an in person meeting and great so I can meet you and your fur babies and we can proceed from there. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to spend with your fur babies, they will get the best of care with me. I unfortunately cant care for pets in my own home because of my cats, but I am more than happy to come to your home and take care of your babies. They will have my undivided attention while in my care and will get thr utmost amount of love.

“Shawn was incredible with our young and highly energetic puppy! He went above and beyond to work with him. Our daily photos and videos kept our minds at ease. While we were trapped with the Air Canada debacle, Shawn and his wife were flexible to help care for Paxton when we needed it most. I'd reccomend him and his family to anyone. They were fantastic and easy to work with!”
“Gabriella is an excellent dog sitter. My Maggie (dog) and Gabriella bonded instantly; from the moment I saw Maggie greeted her moving her tail and standing on her two legs; I knew i had chosen the right person to look after my dog. I received daily updates with photos while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you Gabriella. I recommend her immensely; if i could give her 10 stars; i would. I will ho back to her next time I go away.😃”
“Ayesha was very responsive & great to deal with! Finley had a fantastic weekend with them. Ayesha sent picture updates and checked in throughout the long weekend to let us know how it was going. I would 1000% rebook with her!!”
“Nikhil cared for our dog Maddie, when we were out of province. He was kind enough to keep us updated with videos of our dog, who was happily playing. His communication was especially excellent when doing a meeting and greet, and when booking his services. We would not hesitate to have Nikhil care for Maddie in the future. Thank you Nikhil!”
“amazing!! first time Rover users who have an anxious dog and Sheena exceeded our expectations. will definitely be using her again. thank you Sheena for loving our dog the way we do! ❤️”
“This is our first time dropping our dog off to stay somewhere overnight. Dolly put all our nervousness to rest. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. It was evident from the videos and pictures she sent that our dog was having a great time! She got lots of exercise and play time, and we would gladly trust Dolly with her again. Our dog was not sure she wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“First time asking Danielle to look after my dog and am very happy with how it went. I am completely confident Birdie had a great time and was given loads of love and attention. I really appreciated all the photo and video updates and excellent communication. Sounds like Danielle’s own dog was a lovely companion for Birdie as well.”
About: I am a dog lover, and have run, trained, and explored with dogs almost every day of my life! I have three dogs of my own, and have always had busy working dogs with me. I spend the majority of my personal time training dogs, and I have experience with reactive dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with very, very high energy requirements, as well as your classic couch potatoes. My goal is to meet every dog where they are at and give them their very best day, whether that means taking them out on a big adventure, snuggling them, or letting them run wild on my 5 acres. I work full time as a teacher, and during the week can fit in dog walks or drop in visits in the mornings and evenings before or after work. My weekends are open to take dogs on adventures! When I am out on summer break June through August, I have full availability to wear out dogs. Dogs are always very closely supervised in your yard or mine (line of sight). We will work together to develop a plan if your dog participates in adventure days dependent on your dog’s individual needs. Options include: leash, long line, GPS collar, etc.
“Molly is always so excited to go to Denise’s…when we arrive she can hardly wait until we leave! I never have a worry or concern when Molly is with Denise. Thank you again and again!”
“Second time Frankie has stayed with Carl and everything was great. I highly recommend him to others looking for a pet sitter. It is so nice to have photos to see what she gets up to during her stay. We will for sure use Carl again the next time we need a sitter for Frankie!”
“Deepin looked after Raven while we were away, and it was his first time meeting her. From the moment we met and I introduced him to Raven, the entire process—from drop-off to pick-up—was smooth and stress-free. He kept me updated with photos and video throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Raven was well cared for, and I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying. Deepin did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Your fur baby will be in great hands!”
About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized attention, patience, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own routine. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, administering basic medications, and caring for anxious animals who need extra patience and reassurance. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or keeping up with special care needs, I make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve! I’m currently working part time, so I’ve got lots of time to take care of your pet. I regularly go on runs, walks and hikes so if you have an active dog they will naturally fit into my regular routine! I have a large, fully fenced backyard, and no other pets as my dog recently passed away. I have lots of dog supplies still, such as a crate, bowls, beds, toys and much more. If your dog is needing of training of any sort I have a variety of skills I am able to teach, including behavioural and mannered. I am very active, so I’m great for high energy dogs, but am also able to chill around the house if that’s your pets preference :)
“Julie and family were very welcoming when Blu and I showed up and their home. Julie sent photos everyday and keep me posted and Blu’s activities. Very kind and will be a frequent visitor of their services. Thank you for an awesome experience.”
About: Hi I'm Katie! Also known as that British lady! I have owned dogs my entire life, usually always two at a time. I currently have one of my own after losing three elderly dogs in the last few years. I now only have Ernie a chihuahua cross i rescued from Kansas in 2017. I've had experience with various breeds and fostered ex racer greyhounds for a while in the U.K. I also have two indoor/outdoor cats I rescued as kittens from local feral cat litters. I finish work for the Summer in June and can offer drop in services up to three times a day for dogs, cats and smaller furries if you live in the local area, Maple Falls etc. These can be whilst you’re at work to give your beloved pet a potty break or they can be for longer stretches of time while you vacation so you can feel secure your dogs are in their own home safe and comfortable. I can also board dogs in my own home from all over Whatcom county if they are dog/cat/responsible kid friendly. I have a fenced in yard and a very dog friendly house! I finish work for the summer in June and have a lot of availability for both walks, drop ins and boarding! From June 12th my schedule really opens up! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have two dog friendly cats who are indoor and outdoor and tolerated living with four dogs and two kids. Dogs are allowed on my sofa and bed but only if you allow that at home… I don’t want to create bad habits!
“Samantha is not only an absolute delight, but provides an amazing boarding service. I couldn't imagine anyone better to watch my dog. She has a large fenced property so the dogs can run around. My dog had the best time. She loved it. Samantha sent me pictures, videos and responded to my messages to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Samantha's services to anyone. I look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Glad to have Cassandra watch over our dog Bella while we’re gone for 8 nights. Bella was very happy, smiling and eating. usually she gets a bit sad whenever I’m away and my friends or relatives watches her. But I was surprise to see her get comfortable right away. Will definitely book with Cassandra again! Thank you”
