“Jessica was incredibly caring, patient, and understanding with our shy dog, Sawyer. She knew exactly how to help him feel comfortable and at home during his overnight stay. Sawyer got lots of exercise, had a great time playing, and came home happy and relaxed. Jessica also sent us photos and updates throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!”
“Truffle had such a wonderful experience and was so well cared for! He came back in such a good mood and definitely picked up some wisdom from the two elderly doggos! Thank you Amy and Ellie! :)”
“They helped me out at the last minute, I wrote to them and in 30 minutes they were ready to take my Rarity. Very pleasant to talk to. They sent photos and videos, talked about her condition and quickly responded to messages. My dog is very social, so it's very good that they have other dogs and she was not bored. I can't say anything bad, only positive emotions. Thank you”
“My and Tim's experience with Braden was fantastic. Tim was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Braden was quick to respond, and sent updates on how Tim was doing. I definitely will be reaching to Braden again next time I'm going out of town. Thanks!”
“Luna had an amazing time with Cristina and playing with Rosie!! There were trail walks and romps. Christina kept us up to date with pics and videos so we could see how much Luna was settled in. We would’ve thrilled to leave Luna there anytime.”
“Theo had another great stay with Sheryl! She treated him like he was part of the family and we will continue coming back to Sheryl whenever we need someone to look after Theo while we’re away!”
“This was Ripley’s first stay with Michael and Jim and he had the best time. Ripley’s weekend was filled with his favourite things: walks, cuddles, and plenty of attention from his humans. We received updates and photos and could completely relax knowing that Ripley was being so well taken care of. Micheal and Jim are very knowledgeable about dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. They are also just lovely people. We have already booked Ripley’s next sleep over!”
“Jie was an excellent choice! Our dog needed extra care and attention due to a recent surgery. Jie send regular updates and pictures. Most importantly our dog came back happy. Looking forward to rebooking with Jie again.”
“Our Shiba Yuki boarded with Sunny for 8 days, and we are so happy with the experience. It was our first time being away for so many days and leaving her with a dogsitter. Sunny is really patient. Her quiet home and calm personality is well suited for our anxious dog. Yuki bonded with Sunny immediately, which made us very comfortable and able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. She has a nice enclosed backyard for fun times, and Yuki loves it. We trust Sunny very much.”
“Shawneen was great with our little dog, Mokie. He had a great 'holiday' with Shawneen and her dog Sam while we were away. Good communication while we were away as to how Mokie was doing. I'll be in touch for sure with Shawneen the next time we need a place for Mokie. Thanks so much, Shawneen.”
“Lindsey was awesome! Great communication and made me feel very comfortable leaving my lil dude in her care! She was a breeze and I highly recommend her serves to anyone:)”
“Maaya did a great job looking after our dog Toby. Toby had a great time and Maaya did an excellent job communicating how Toby was doing and sent a lot of really great pictures. Would not hesitate to recommend Maaya to other dog owners!”
“Harry loves staying with JoAnn and Lance. He races up their driveway when we arrive and romps right onto their house to make himself at home. He gets thoroughly spoiled with massages, cuddles and walks. I am thankful to have found this delightful couple who take such good care of my Harry!”
“Daniela was super communicative and teddy had the best time with her. Updates were frequent enough with pictures! He came back clean, happy, and she went above and beyond in taking care of him.”
“Melissa was great. Our dog is very reactive and has a lot of special training needs and Melissa took them all in stride and looked after our dog with tremendous care and attention.”
“Megan was one of the nicest and most caring Sitter for our doggy Mario. Mario was so happy to be with Megan and had an amazing time. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely seek her out again in the future. Thanks for everything.”
“Tosha is amazing with dogs! My dog Bobbi usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but she made him feel comfortable right away. She was very patient, attentive, and gave him plenty of walks, which he loved. Tosha also send lots of photo throughout the stay. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend her!”
“Joanne and Glenn were amazing and sent lots of updates (photos and videos)! Pavo integrated seamlessly with their family and didn’t even want to leave at first. 🙈 I would definitely recommend them to anyone that’s looking to board their dog!”

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life since childhood, and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve owned pets since I was 7 and spent 15 years working in veterinary clinics and at the SPCA, gaining hands-on experience with cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Before having children, I also ran my own pet-sitting service, providing reliable, compassionate in-home care. I’m now a marine biologist, but my love for animal care has never changed. I can offer calm, reliable visits for your cat while you are away with additional play time if required. I am comfortable administering medications as well!
“Thank you, Allison for taking such good care of Honey and providing updates on her. I really appreciate the peace of mind knowing she was well looked after. Thanks also for leaving the place spotless. I am looking forward to having you here again.”
“Keetah did a fantastic job watching our cats during Thanksgiving, she was super attentive and helped us out with bringing out grocery delivery in while we were gone which was SUPER helpful. She went above and beyond and the daily pics of the cats were very nice. Hoping to have her watch the cats again for the holidays! Thank you Keetah!!”
“Cass is absolutely outstanding! We had her over this weekend to watch our two cats and she went above and beyond. We returned home to two happy cats and she even left us a sweet gift for our home. How amazing is that!!! We will absolutely be having Cass back. She’s going to be our go-to gal!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats, including seniors and more independent or shy personalities. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medication if required, and providing companionship on the cat’s terms. I understand that cats often need consistency and a calm environment, and I take care to respect their routines and boundaries.
About: I grew up on a farm with inside dogs and have trained them throughout my life! I miss my pups that are back home in Alberta, and would love to connect with dogs or cats in any way. I am pretty flexible and work right in the heart of Gibsons. I’m available on weekdays after 4:30 and anytime on weekends. I am active and love to get out for walks. From my own experience with my dogs who are seemingly trying to get into mischief, it is of the utmost importance to me to keep an eye on the dogs and stimulate their senses to keep them out trouble.
“Deborah brought some great, positive energy with her! Luna seemed very happy upon our return home and was so happy to have been in 2 walks while we were away! Thank you Deborah, we hope to see you again soon! !”
About: Animals mean the world to me. I grew up with Pure Breed Bouvier dogs, Persian and Himalayan cats. I was no "stranger" to cleaning dog runs, bathing, brushing and combing their fur. As well as, assisting with their oral hygiene. I truly feel in my heart that all animals need love, compassion, companionship, guidance, comfort, and assistance. They are our family!! Whenever you look into an animal's eyes you can see deep within their soul and spirit. It's an incredible and amazing feeling. Animals, give us their complete vulnerability and as pet owners/family, we are supposed to: * Protect, nourish, and love them*. I am here to: "take away" your worries, your stress, and your anxiety! I am professional and compassionate. I am here for you and your "Furbabes". Thank You Natalie
About: Hi there, I would love to spend time with your pets while you're away! I have a cat and dog of my own, and I grew up with a lot of different animals, so my experience spans through out my life. I will treat your pet as if they are my own ❤️ I am open to most locations on the lower Sunshine Coast :) I work from home, and have my own car. I am available most nights and mornings, and large chunks of the day as well depending on the animals needs. I care for them as though they are my own! Get lots of play in if necessary, or give endless pets and snuggles if they so choose.
About: I have cat sit for 7 years. I have often cat sit for pairs of cats. I can clean a litter box and adapt to specific feeding requirements. I’m comfortable with cats who are shy and ones who need lots of attention!

“Jessica is amazing with my pup, Molly! She clearly loves dogs and takes such good care of her. Many walks during the day and reporting back to me with photos, which is very much appreciated. My dog is 12 lbs and adores her dog, Sheriff who is a 75 lb black lab. I don’t think Molly knows she’s small lol. I take her there once a week and I know she will have a fun filled day. I highly recommend Jessica as a caregiver for your pet - she’s great!”
“Kimira was fantastic! Very flexible and super accommodating. She sent us photos and updates throughout the day and our four year old pup was very happy when we picked him up from his day with her. We definitely recommend her!”
“Keetah was so great with my crazy dog! Such good communication - lots of updates and photos provided! Tucker already can’t wait to stay with her again (after a long nap). Would highly recommend!”
About: I am a warm and loving pet enthusiast with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with 14 dogs of my own and fostering many more. My journey has taken me from walking packs on the beaches of Australia, to the stunning Andalusian mountains and now the exquisite trails on the West Coast of Canada. Known by many as a “dog whisperer,” I have a natural ability to connect with dogs, who are instinctively drawn to me. Currently, I enjoy walking two beautiful Border Collies alongside my own Beagle, and on some days, I can be found in the woods with a joyful pack of four or five furry companions. My love for animals extends beyond pet care—I also help people navigate the grief of losing a beloved pet through my hypnotherapy practice. Every dog in my care holds a special place in my heart, and I am deeply committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. I am a Hypnotherapy Practitioner, specializing in pet loss. I work both from home and online, which allows me the flexibility to align my schedule with pet-sitting commitments. This means I can dedicate plenty of one-on-one attention to your pet, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. While in my care, your furry friend will enjoy long walks, playtime in our secure, fenced yard, and plenty of companionship, so they never feel alone. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m committed to making their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have a fully fenced and secure yard, where your pet can enjoy playtime with my Beagle, who is very sociable and polite. My home is inviting and welcoming. All dogs that I’ve had stay have been comfortable and happy.
“Christina and her family are amazing, very kind and Floki was so happy when we got him back. He played all day at the beach and climbing gym. Communication was excellent and she also sent us pictures of Floki during the day! Highly recommend her!!”
“My big bundle of joy and headache had a great time with Guy & Zol. Their constant update, interaction and flexibility was a best example of professionalism and service. But more than that, the fact my Loki had such a fun day with them, was more than I could ask for. It gave me the sense of relief and worry free day at work. Can’t wait to use their service again soon.”
“Menghan has a beautiful huge yard, my lab loved coming here for daycare for two days. Constant playtime and photo/video updates throughout the whole day. Menghan was also super responsive and very accommodating to my schedule. We will definitely be back! Thanks again!”
“Simon was amazing with our little 1.5 year old rescue! He had a great time both in the backyard and on his walk and felt very at home with Simon immediately. I highly recommend Simon!”
“I left my pup with them for her very first time. Jennifer was very communicative throughout her stay. I received tons of updates, along with photos and videos. I highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Irene is amazing. We messaged her last minute on a Saturday evening and she took Milo and her dog for an evening walk together down to the seawall. She took photos of the two of them together on their walk and sent them to use while we were out. 10/10!”
“Yi-Yu is truly the best! Wolfy has tons of energy and needs daily fetch, and he came home happy and completely tired every single day. She even took him out on the rainiest day, which meant so much to me. Yi-Yu is easygoing, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I highly recommend her — thank you, Yi-Yu!”
“Amazing experience! We will definitely come again - Barney was well taken care of. Yoonjoo was really responsive, very friendly, and sent us pictures of Barney while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Thanks for being flexible with our schedule! Sherri came back tired and ready to sleep - seemed like she had a great day playing with her new friends! We'll definitely be in touch in the future.”

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life since childhood. I’ve owned dogs since I was 7 and spent 15 years working hands-on in veterinary clinics, as well as at shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. Before having children, I also ran my own pet-sitting service, caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m now a marine biologist who primarily works from home, but my love for animal care has never changed. Your dog will share our home with Sheriff, my very friendly black Lab, and my two young children, who love helping give extra attention and cuddles. Between playtime, walks, and lots of love, I’ll make sure your dog has plenty of fun and feels right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is a central part of our home life. I work from home , which allows me to be present throughout the day for feeding, playtime, walks, pats, and monitoring each pet’s comfort and wellbeing. My days are structured but flexible, with plenty of one-on-one attention, enrichment, and downtime. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or extra cuddles, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day of the week. I care for pets as if they were my own, focusing on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. With 15 years of experience working in veterinary clinics and shelters, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing changes in behavior or wellbeing. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and spacious environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment throughout the day. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are supervised to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the household. I provide reliable visits for feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and companionship, while keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Olivia was wonderful! You could really tell she loves animals! She was patient and kind with my timid dog Bunny and really took the time to get to know both dogs before taking them out. I will most definitely be using her services again!! ?”
About: I've taken care of friends and families pets for over 10 years and have always enjoyed time spent outside, particularly dog walking! I'm looking to grow my expertise and experience while spending time with new furry friends! I am currently working on the Sunshine Coast over the summer and looking for some extra walk time outside my work, so I can be relatively flexible outside the hours of my full time job. As long as it fits it around work, I am happy to get out in the mornings or evenings!! Unfortunately, due to my current living conditions I cannot have pets in my home but will be more than happy to spend time with your pets outside.
About: Hi there, I would love to spend time with your pets while you're away! I have a cat and dog of my own, and I grew up with a lot of different animals, so my experience spans through out my life.

“Deborah was great with my puppy! She spent extra time getting to know my puppy as it was their first meet up. She was punctual, great at communicating and responding quickly, and followed instructions perfectly. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy in her care and will be requesting her services in the future!”
“I called Christina very last minute and she arranged a meet and greet right away and then came the next day for a walk. I was so grateful to have her come and Gus seemed calm and happy when I got home. I would definitely ask her back”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Since moving out to Squamish I have been without my pups and I miss having those little balls of joy running around me all the time. I would love to care for your pups like they’re my own and give them all the love and attention they deserve. I am very comfortable with dogs of all kinds and have done multiple training sessions with my own dogs so I am aware of how to handle different situations. I have also previously participated in a dog enrichment program with the Edmonton Humane Society which was so fulfilling and educational. I hope to take all my knowledge and experience and use it towards helping you and your dogs live happy and healthy lives. I currently work full time from home Monday-Friday so getting outside for a walk during the day is a nice refreshment for me. Working from home also gives me the flexibility to watch your dog in the comfort of your home if you require longer duration dog sitting. I am happy to come into your home to spend time with your pup so that they are most comfortable and follow any house rules that you have set. I am also happy to just play with them in your backyard or take them out for a walk, whatever you prefer!
About: Responsible, compassionate, middle-aged- chill vibe. I have done temp. care for ponies, horses and cared for my own cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits and tropical fish! Currently I'm very open, time-wise. I'm a student and working part time so lots of flexibility. Looking forward to discussing your and fur baby needs. I like clear instructions of what pets are used to and expect. I also like to know how they are used to interacting outside of the home. (on leash, off leash, good with others). Most pets like routine and I like to help maintain that sense of safety for them. :)

“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”

It was clear that Stanley was happy , comfortable and well cared for. Thank you for your kindness and excellent care! Stanley misses you!”
