“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!”

“I can’t recommend Angela enough! She took such amazing care of my dog and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. It was clear right away how kind, attentive, and experienced her and her family are, and I really appreciated the communication, updates, and photos while I was away. My dog seemed so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was really lovely knowing my dog was around Angela and her family — you can tell there’s a lot of care and positive energy in that environment. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely caring.”

“Andrea & Sergei were amazing hosts. We had to drop off our doggo in such short notice, they readily accepted her, was extremely flexible with everything (food and other needs) and most importantly showered a ton of love and affection which was evident right when we picked her up: she was so comfortable with them. They are very centrally located in Vancouver as well!”

“This was the first time I’ve left my Havanese dog with a pet sitter. He is a bit of a challenge as he suffers from anxiety and has to have medication for a heart murmur. The first time I met Sheryl all my worry about leaving him was gone. Beemer took to her right away. Sheryl sent updates every day about how Beemer was doing which helped me completely relax and enjoy my holiday. It is so wonderful to know I can go away again and I won’t have to worry about finding someone to look after him. I highly recommend Sheryl if you want a kind and loving sitter for your dog.”

“Joanne, Glenn and their daughter went above and beyond giving our Maltese the ultimate vacation while we were away. The many photos and videos they sent showed he was relaxed and loving all the attention they showered on him, including playing lots of fetch in their fenced backyard, cuddles on the couch and sleeping with them. They took Milo for regular walks with their friendly dog Lily, and even to the beach after which Joanne bathed and brushed him. When we arrived for pick-up, Milo just wanted to continue playing in the environment he obviously felt so comfortable. Thank you so much for your wonderful care!”
“Can’t recommend Sunny enough! She sent daily updates and photos, was very accommodating with a late-night pickup due to my flight, and clearly made my dog feel comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Tosha is amazing with dogs! From the moment we arrived, she made Luca feel comfortable and welcomed. Shee came home so happy, clearly having enjoyed all the attention, playtime, and exercise.

I would absolutely recommend Tosha to anyone looking for someone kind, attentive, and reliable! Thank you so much!”
“Connie provided excellent care for our dog. She provided all of the information needed before drop-off. Once we dropped off our dog, she provided updates via texts, pictures, and videos on a very frequent basis. She was also very understanding when there was a slight delay picking up our dog due to traffic conditions. Happy to let her watch our dog again if needed.”
“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!”
“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.”
“My dog Odis was well taken care of. When we came back after 2 weeks he was very happy and healthy. He became part of their family and fit in very well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”

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 was really wonderful with our cats. She was thorough in her care of them and sent photos and videos to show they were all good and that tasks like food and water and litters were being completed. She was really sweet and talked to our cats in a calming way when they were a bit stressed in the videos. Made us feel very confident that they were in good hands :) would highly recommend Cass!”
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! !”

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.

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: 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: 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: 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.

“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!”
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.
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Amber. Jennifer and David took such wonderful care of her and kept us updated with regular check-ins, which we really appreciated. It meant so much to know Amber felt comfortable enough to be herself. They treated her like family, and Ruby is an absolute sweetheart. We highly recommend Jennifer and David and will definitely be booking again in the future. 🐶✨”
“Anna was great and very accommodating with mi schedule. Anna kept me posted with pictures. Benny had a good time. Benny has separation anxiety but when I picked him up and we were leaving, he wanted Anna’s attention 🐶 I would recommend Anna and will be happy to use her service again.”
“Otto and Toby had a great time with Yoonjoo. She is very sweet with small dogs and my two little dogs look so happy from the second time we went to her. I will definitely leave my dog with Yoonjoo next time I need to.”
“Meghan was absolutely lovely with our dog Murphy! Murphy had an amazing time at their property and came home for a long nap after playing in the yard all day. You can really tell they love dogs and will do whatever is necessary for your pup to have an amazing time!”
“Jinju and Sierra treat my dog like their own!! I never have to worry when he is in their care. Rex is always excited to see them at drop off & always leaves sleepy and well exercised 😊”
“Yi-Yu is great with my little menace of a dog and sends frequent updates. Yi-Yu also shared a few tips regarding nutrition and vet care which was very helpful. My dog Harley comes home happy and tired. I’ve used Yi-Yu’s doggy daycare services a few times so far and plan on using her services on a regular basis.”
“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!”

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: 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. :)
“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”
“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: 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!

Paco was happy, well cared for, and absolutely loved his walks. One thing that meant a lot to us was knowing that Lara let Paco cuddle up with her at night, helping him feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Lara was also very accommodating when we wanted to visit him and take him out for a few hours during his stay. We’re so grateful for the love, care, and attention Lara gave Paco.
