“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!”
“Angela and her family were wonderful taking care of Manolo. He was clearly well looked after and comfortable during his stay.

“Jennifer and Dave are lovely! Took great care of our girl! Their dog is so easy going and wasn’t fazed by Luna at all. Many walks and lots of photos and videos. Highly recommended!!”
“Sidney was amazing. Oslo took to her from the moment they met. She was very accommodating. I was delayed on my return from Kelowna and while I was stressing about it she kept reassuring me that it was fine. When I picked Oslo up, not only did I return to a happy boy, but he seemed to have charmed the entire family as I met Sidney's family who were clearly spoiling him with love. I recommend Sidney to anyone that is looking for kind and thoughtful caregiver to your fur baby.”
“Andrea and Sergio did a wonderful job looking after Snowy during our 10 day vacation. They were prompt in their replies, sent lots of photos and videos and treated our dog with so much love and care. We will definitely be booking them again for future travel. Highly recommend!”

“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!”
“Chai LOVED her stay with Sunny and ZhiYi! I was updated daily with pictures and activities of the day which I really appreciated. All care instructions were followed and Chai was so happy when I picked her up. It was so nice leaving her and knowing she was safe and cared for while I was away. Thank you :)”
“Our goldendoodle had a great stay with Anna! His first time staying with her and he settled in quickly. Anna did a wonderful job making sure he got his medications each day and that he felt comfortable in her place. She sent updates and photos everyday which were much appreciated. Thank you!!”
“Amy has taken excellent care of Arlo. He returned a very happy dog, because he received good attention from both Amy and her daughter. He was out at the dog park, which he loved!”
“Cooper the 14 year old bichon-poodle made himself right at home with Madison and her husband. I think he had a great time exploring a few new neighbourhoods and being an office dog for a day. I feel very rest assured that Cooper was in good hands.”
“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!”
“Samira was sooo great with my anxious dog Loki! She and her sister spoiled him with lots of cuddles and big walks & adventures that he loves! He came home happy and tired! She was so patient with him as he is very particular and fussy about EVERYTHING! She provided detailed updates and photos throughout the stay. It was really easy to communicate with her. She definitely goes out of her way to make the stay easier! Won’t hesitate to ask for her help again in the future!”
“This is the second time we’ve left Bruce with Karolinne and Eric and they are truly the best! Great communication and they are so loving towards our little guy Bruce! 100% would recommend them to anyone!”
“Sandra truly loves dogs. She is a very capable dog sitter; administering meds to our senior dog and giving her lots of her time to feel comfortable and welcome. We received lots of great photos during our dogs 3 day stay and Sandra was very accommodating for the pickup and drop off times.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog for 3 days, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to have left her with Connie. Her schedule was followed and she got so much attention, treats, and love, especially during playtime with her dogs, cats, and family! We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Lauren and Andy and their dog Zeus were very welcoming to my dog Robby. They were caring and diligent and very flexible. I would certainly recommend them to anyone, and look forward to using their services again.”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. His professionalism up front really inspired trust, and once we made a solid connection at the meet and greet, I knew Luna was going to be in good hands. She absolutely was treated like gold. The communication was reliable and flexible. All the photos he shared showed a very happy dog! I would 100% choose to board Luna with Andrew and his lovely partner again any time.”
“Braden was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Furfur. Furfur was so relaxed and comfortable with Braden. Braden was also great at communication throughout, always responsive. Highly recommended!”

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!
“My cat was healthy and happy when I returned from my trip - in fact, I think he missed Allison. Allison was thoughtful and reliable, and helped with some small but important things around the house as well. Great job!”
“Cass has taken care of my cat Frankie on a number of occasions and she is always very thorough in her report cards and photos. I always feel at ease when Cass is looking after Frankie.”
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.
“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! !”
“We highly recommend Amber and look forward to having her sit for us again. She took great care of our two Bengals and was so respectful of our home, you'd never even know she was there. Sincere appreciation to a great cat/house sitter.”
About: I love animals and feel having a dog/cat lover is best care for your pet. To stay in their own home where it’s their domain Lots of playtime and walks. I had pets but prefer not to now as I enjoy the freedom of travel, but feel fulfilled caring for animals. Pets need attention and love when their owners go away it’s best they still feel that love and attention. I’m at stage in my life I have time for caring for pets. I have retired and moved to the coast and am available to come to your home to look after them in an environment they know. I administer medicine and keep the home tidy as your away Ive done several house sitting jobs for a week with larger dogs and would be happy to be with your pet while you are away. We can discuss your needs and happily accommodate your fur baby I am retired and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you let care needs would be. I love you be outdoors and on hikes in nature with the pets I respect personal homes of my clients and follow requests for any care for pets thoroughly.

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!
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

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gibsons
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“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!”
“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!”
“This was Bogie's second visit to Deborah's home. He left out of the car and dashed into her yard as fast as he could leaving me in the dust. Clearly he couldn't wait to spend more time with his new friend.”
“This was our first time leaving Kenzie with Menghan and Kenzie had a great time and was so tired when she came home! Menghan sent a ton of videos and photos to keep us up to date. We have no hesitation having Menghan care for Kenzie!”
“Robin is the best! She loves dogs and it shows. She's so attentive. She understands the dogs' little personality quirks. She even went above and beyond to sew my dogs harness when one of my dogs chewed it. She's so accommodating to switch times. My dogs love her and her place and go there and don't look back and are so tired and happy when they come home. She sends great updates and pictures. And she's so dog knowledgeable.”
“Irene is amazing with my puppy Bailey. Bailey is very excited for day care and sad when she leaves. I have a varied schedule and Irene has been so accommodating. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, along with time spent as a former SPCA volunteer. Through my volunteer work, I assisted with daily care, feeding, cleaning, enrichment, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in a shelter environment. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles and fish, including maintaining proper habitats, feeding schedules, and monitoring health and behavior. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure every pet receives the care they’re used to. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, so I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I structure my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and drop-ins, making sure each pet’s normal routine is maintained. I’m flexible with scheduling and always communicate clearly so owners know their pets are being well cared for. - Safety, routine, and gentle handling are top priorities - Calm, clean, and secure environment - Former SPCA volunteer with shelter-care experience - Respectful of pets’ boundaries and owners’ homes - Regular updates and clear communication
“Coco had a great stay with Lisa! I booked pretty last minute (the day before), but Lisa accepted quickly and arranged a meet-and-greet with me and my dog. She is really friendly, gentle and my dog got along well with her instantly! During the day where Coco stayed with Lisa, Lisa sent me a lot of photos and updates. I will definitely use her services again, and would also recommend her to my friends with dogs!”
“Angela was super accommodating to my last minute, literally, night before request. And Riley immediately responded to Angela despite usually being reserved during an initial meeting. Angela was super responsive and really helped me out a bind. And you could see she really has a wonderful connection with animals. She took Riley for a nice long walk and shared photos. I’ll be using her services again.”
“Jennifer and David were both very caring with our dog, Lucy. Lucy can be a bit anxious when meeting new people and other dogs and from the first introduction I felt they were a good fit for us. They were very sensitive and wanted to know what might be the best way to bring their dog Ruby out to meet Lucy. The introduction went great and when I later dropped Lucy off for daycare and she was feeling overwhelmed, Jennifer was quick to respond to her needs, helping her calm down with a walk. I left knowing Lucy was in good hands and the sweet pictures she sent me throughout the day showing Lucy cuddled up with her and David confirmed just that. I’ll definitely use their services again and would highly recommend them, especially if your dog struggles with anxiety or any other special need.”
“Carey is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of my pup! Right off the bat when I first met her I got an excellent first impression. She is very warm, friendly and was great with Cali!! 😊🐶”
“I've used Guy for lengthy day care and will be using him for overnights as well. Guy and his partner were great and treated my dog as a member of their family. I have a Staffy X rescue who's had a rough start and although he may look scary to some he's a very sweet dog. He is anxious and somewhat reactive (we're working on it), but Guy knew what to do and how to make him feel secure while I was away. The peace of mind having someone reliable, knowledgeable and caring to look after your animal is invaluable. Definitely recommend Guy!”
“Amy was great to book with and made it easy for me as I was visiting from out of town! She was able to accommodate a last minute daycare booking so I could go fishing with my Dad. She was fast and easy to communicate with and made the booking process easy and stress free. I would highly recommend booking with Amy.”
“Always a great experience with Cheryl. She meets me in the lobby for easy drop off and pickup, sends a lot of updates throughout the day and Piper is happy and tired at the end of the day!”
“Anna took great care of our dog Puffin in her home. He was so happy to see her when we arrived which was an amazing sign. Puffin had lots of opportunity to play, look out the window and sleep on a cosy pile of blankets. Anna also ensured that Puffin got all of his bathroom breaks and walks as needed. I also received lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I would 100% recommend Anna for doggy daycare services.”

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.
“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!”
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. :)
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!

“Coco looked after our pup George for a night and it all went well. Coco was very flexible and easy to communicate with, and sent various photos during the night.

“So, so lucky to have found Heather! I was in a bit of a stuck spot and needed a dog sitter for the weekend while I was in class. My pup is a bit of an anxious boy and I was nervous about leaving him with new people but he settled in pretty quickly and loved being around the kids. Heather is an excellent communicator and I have cute pictures of my dog's weekend ? Will definitely rebook with Heather!”
“Here’s a heartfelt message for Ranah and Franki: Dear Ranah and Franki, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arya. She’s a dog that needs a lot of love and understanding, and without a doubt, you were the perfect caregivers to provide that. You made sure Arya felt happy and comfortable, even though she wasn’t at home. Every day, you kept us updated with photos, videos, and detailed updates about how her day was going. It was clear that you approach this work with true passion and an incredible love for animals. Your dedication and professionalism shine through, and we felt 100% confident leaving Arya in your care. We wouldn’t hesitate to make the same decision a thousand times over. Congratulations on being such amazing caregivers! All the best, Lina And Juan.”

“Anisa was extremely responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Most importantly, it was clear that my dog was comfortable with her and had a great time while in her care! It’s always reassuring to know your dog is happy and well looked after, and I felt confident leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ana Paula was great with my dog Ollie. She took him on lots of walks, hikes and park time. And she kept me informed with regular photos/videos/updates for the whole stay:)”
“Here’s an updated version: We couldn’t be more grateful to Lisa and Lonny for taking such wonderful care of Qubit for 8 days! She’s a handful—hyperactive and a bit reactive—but they handled her with patience, skill, and lots of love. It was clear from the updates and photos they shared that she was happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in their care. Knowing she was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind during our trip. Thank you both so much—we’ll definitely reach out again next time we need a sitter!”
“We love Polly & Rez and our pup Mina does too. I will continue to use their services and recommend them. Polly is detail oriented, attentive and gives great updates so I know how things are going.”
