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!

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.

Bentley had an excellent stay with Lauren and Andy with plenty of walks and no end of fun. It was easy to tell that he was enjoying himself because he got so tired and was ready to sleep at night without a problem. Lauren also sent us daily reports on what had happened together with photos and some videos and we were most happy to get the regular updates An excellent experience

Sunny & Cole stayed with Susan & Robin for 9 nights. We were nervous finding new sitters for them as they haven’t stayed with anyone in a while. We were thrilled with everything. They were so happy when we picked them up it was clear they were very well cared for and loved. We will 100% use Susan and Robin again they are wonderful people and took the best care of our puppers:)

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!

My background includes working in dog daycares, veterinary medicine, and animal control, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I've welcomed many dogs into my home over the years and treat every pet like family.

Emma was amazing in watching our dog Junebug! Not only did she make sure our dog was fed and taken care of, but she went the extra mile! She took Junebug to the dog park on a regular basis, sent pictures and updates regularly. I can tell my dog was super comfortable with her and her family, and I would highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a temporary home for your pet while you travel.

About: I've always had dogs in my life and caring for them has become second nature to me. I'll look after your pets as if they were my own. I worked as professional dog groomer for eight years and also have experience as an off- leash pack walker, giving me a strong understanding of canine behavior, social dynamics, and safety. I'm certified in Dog Safe First Aid and hold an Animal Care Aide Certificate. I'm deeply interested in animal behavior and well-being, and I love connecting with each dog's unique personality. Whether it's a calm stroll or an energetic walk, I tailor every outing to your pet's needs to make sure they have a great time. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of needs-whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute bookings. I love starting and ending my days with time outdoors, and walking dogs fits perfectly into that rhythm. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every animal is cared for according to their needs. Your pet will feel safe and loved during their time with me.

Dorothy is true gem. She took care of my cat (and for awhile, my dog) during a very chaotic and stressful time for me. She was very kind, and flexible during this unpredictable period. She sent pics of my pets to me everyday, which was so comforting. (She even found a toy that my cat, who doesn't "do" toys, seemed to enjoy.) Superlative pet care. Thank you Dorothy. I have no hesitation in recommending you in the highest terms.

About: Hi! I'm a full-time cat mom of two wonderful kitties, Iggy & Hans. They make the rules around here, so unfortunately I can't get a dog right now, but that means I'm more than happy to watch your dog/pets in your home :) I grew up with 2 beautiful Newfoundlands and a Heinz variety, and I'm a huge animal lover. I have experience with young pups/senior dogs, and have some experience providing medication to both dogs and cats. I have the ability to work from home so I'd be with your pet the majority of the stay. This is great for pets who like their routines and thrive on a consistent schedule when it comes to feeding/walking/playtime etc. I've done sits for both active and low energy dogs, so I can adapt to their energy level:) As a cat mom who loves to travel internationally, I understand how stressful and hard it can be to trust someone with your home/pet and I'd be happy to provide as many updates and photos as you'd like :)

I’m also a proud cat dad to Charlie from @charliescatadventures, so caring for cats is a huge part of my everyday life. I have experience with everything from cat sitting and playtime to leash walking and even travelling with cats, which has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident with different personalities and needs. Whether it’s keeping litter boxes spotless, sticking to routines, or giving extra affection and attention, I always treat every cat like my own.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and have shared my life with many different personalities over the years, from playful and affectionate to shy, independent, and everything in between. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat as an individual and adapting to what makes them feel most comfortable. I understand that cats communicate in their own unique ways, and I’m usually able to tell when they’d like to play, when they want affection, and when they’d simply prefer some quiet space. I’m patient with timid cats, playful with energetic ones, and always respectful of their boundaries. More recently, I also helped care for two rescued kittens on a farm, watching them grow into confident, friendly, and independent cats. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away by keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’ll happily follow your care instructions and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in caring hands.

About: I’ve cared for cats of every personality type, from affectionate lap-lovers and playful whirlwinds to shy wallflowers and delightfully spicy kitties. With patience, calm energy, and respect for their boundaries, I find that even the most reserved cats usually come around for a well earned chin scratch. I’m completely comfortable working with all feline temperaments and would love to provide thoughtful, attentive drop-in care for your cat. I offer feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, coat brushing, medication administration, and of course, gentle companionship (whether that means interactive play or being the cozy lap they choose for a peaceful nap).

We all liked Courtenay right off the bat, especially Phoebe, and we felt very comfortable leaving Phoebe with her. We tried a two-hour sample stay first and that went very well so the full days that we needed puppy day-care were an easy transition. Courtenay made sure Phoebe was comfortable and busy so she didn’t have time to miss us, and her whole family was also involved so our little girl had a great time. We will definitely leave Phoebe with Courtenay again when needed ✨ thanks Courtenay and fam!

I’m a great fit for occasional, short-term, or last-minute bookings and will always communicate my availability clearly in advance. I provide a safe, welcoming space for your dog with a fully fenced yard for playtime and a dog-friendly home. Pets are always supervised and treated like part of the family while they’re with me.

Marcy is a TREASURE!! I left my 13-month old giant breed puppy with her for the day and he had an amazing time. I knew as soon as Marcy and I met that he would be in fantastic hands, and I couldn't have been more right! When we arrived, Gilly went straight in to Marcy's house, fully confident and happy. I highly recommend her!

About: Your dog could be my new supervisor for work! I work full time from home and I’d love to have your dog join me for the work day! I live in a basement suite with direct access to a fenced backyard, in a quiet walkable neighborhood! There are children that share the backyard space but your pet will never be left unsupervised with them. Over my life I’ve had 3 dogs. A golden retriever, a medium shepherd mix, and an American bulldog. I work full time from home. Monday to Friday 830-5pm every week. I’m up for the day at 8am and spend most of my evenings playing video games. Plenty of time to incorporate walks, cuddles, and playtime with your fur baby! Your dog will be my coworker for the day! My home is clean and tidy with space for your fur baby to chill and or play! Carpet free floors!

We have a somewhat difficult 5-month-old puppy, and initially, we were not sure how she would do elsewhere for the day, but Shay, Matt, and Chacho are truly wonderful and accommodated us in every way from our initial meet and greet and through the visit with regular updates. I think we were more worried about the separation than our puppy was, it seemed like she had a great day! We are truly at ease sending away

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in our home and have previously owned a hobby farm with a Livestock Guardian Dog, 50+ chickens, cats, and rabbits. I would love for my children to continue their love for animals without the full-time commitment of owning our own pet. I am at home full time with my children. We have a very flexible schedule. We don't go out for long periods of time due to having young children. However, if we are going to the beach, for a hike, a walk or anything that your pup can come along with, we will bring them. They become part of our family for the time they are with us. We have a fenced back yard at our home which is perfect for breaks and play. We care for each pup as they need and encourage open communication with the owners to ensure everyone is happy.

About: Lost my reactive dog in 2025 and looking to open my house to dogs/cats who excel in home boarding. I work from home and miss having a pet during the day. My kids are young but dog smart due to having grown up near a reactive dog. I have worked in dog/cat kennels, volunteered with the BCSPCA, fostered a mamma dog and her 6 puppies when only 1 week old and have developed my reactive dog skills over the past 15+ years. Love all dogs large and small. I work from home so available throughout the day for the animals needs. My schedule is quite flexible on weekends and weekdays and I can accommodate most requests. I have a 6ft fenced in back yard, areas for animals to have calm time and an open floor plan. My kids are home in the afternoon/evening and weekends but we live in a split house and can accommodate separation if needed.

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life. We had hounds and a Bull Mastiff growing up, and I was hands-on with daily care and routines. I was mainly responsible for caring for our goats — including baby goats and milking — and I also helped out on neighbouring farms. I got my first dog at 21, and she was by my side for 13 wonderful years, so I understand the lifelong commitment, love, and responsibility that comes with caring for a dog. Over the years, I’ve regularly taken friends’ dogs on hikes, especially when living in the Interior — everything from extra-large breeds to tiny minis. I’m confident handling different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive experiences. We’re a pet-loving household, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I’m home during the work week, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a large property with a fully fenced back yard for safe outdoor time, as well as access to local wooded trails and paved paths for walks and enrichment. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling, and I tailor activity levels based on each dog’s needs — whether that’s a calm stroll, trail walk, or extra outdoor time. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will be treated like part of the family. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. We have a very friendly dog and two small children, so it’s important that visiting pets are comfortable around both. Our large, fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for supervised outdoor time. If your dog prefers one-on-one attention, I’m happy to offer solo walks or individualized care tailored to their needs. Whether your pup enjoys calm companionship, structured walks, or extra outdoor enrichment, I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and loving experience for every dog in my care.

About: Hi , I’m Terry. I recently retired and now have time to spend with your doggie. Whether it’s a chill day hanging out at home or out for a good hike or walk, I love the company of dogs. Dogs were always a part of our family when I was growing up. My kid's also shared many happy childhood memories with our sweet Labrador “Jake”. Currently I am not a dog owner but love to help out with my daughter’s dog “Honey” when she’s in town.(not often enough) I’ve worked in health care for 30 years. I can offer genuine, kind , compassionate, safe, fun care to your doggie while you’re away. I’m available any day of the week and can build my day around your dog’s routine and needs. I can accommodate early drop off times. I have a large fenced yard to keep your doggie safe when they decide to go outside. They would not be sharing the house or yard with any other animals.

About: Animals have been my passion and career for over 10 years. My background includes working in dog daycares, veterinary medicine, and animal control, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I've welcomed many dogs into my home over the years and treat every pet like family. I currently have one dog and three cats, so my only requirement is that visiting dogs are social and comfortable around other animals. I look forward to giving your pet a safe, loving home away from home! As a stay-at-home mom to one child, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Your pet will be treated like part of the family while in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the day and can provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and lots of attention. Dogs will have access to a safe, comfortable home environment and plenty of supervised interaction. I have one dog and three cats, so I only accept dogs that are social and comfortable around other animals. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, loved, and at home while you're away.

About: I’m a patient, loving, and highly attentive pet caregiver who genuinely adores animals of all kinds. Dogs, cats, shy pets, energetic pups, seniors , I’m happiest when I’m around them. I understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m great with multi-pet homes and very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, making sure everyone gets the attention they need without stress or overwhelm. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour, and I move at your pet’s pace, whether that means a calm walk around the neighbourhood or an enriching adventure on nearby trails. Safety and awareness are always my priority. I’m mindful of surroundings, leash security, and your pet’s emotional comfort at all times. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and respect, just like one of my own. What you can expect from me: 🐕 Neighbourhood walks or trail outings 🐱 Comfortable and confident with cats 🐾 Experienced with multi-pet households ❤️ Patient, gentle, and emotionally aware care 📸 Photo updates and detailed check-ins ⏰ Reliable and communicative I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I don’t take that lightly. I’d love to meet you and your furry family and help keep them happy, exercised, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work from home, which gives me flexibility and consistency for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. While I do have occasional travel during the week, I plan my availability carefully to make sure pets receive reliable, attentive care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, and walking dogs is a great way for me to get outside and stay active while giving them the exercise and enrichment they need. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore as it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize in my daily and weekly routine I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes. I believe pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter care, medications if needed, and any household-specific preferences. I take a calm, patient, and attentive approach, paying close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection (as welcomed), and I always prioritize safety and cleanliness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of my own two large dogs since I was a kid. Helping with their training, playtime, walks, and overall care. I have also managed to recognize and provide assistance to my one dog who struggles with separation anxiety. I’m a very helpful being who’s observant, and present with each pet. Caring for each one in the puppy stage, all the way to their senior stages. I currently have plenty of free time and would love to help people in the community in finding trusted pet care for their furry ones. I’m always open to discussing days outside of my preferred ones as well. I live in a more semi rural area, allowing for loads of open trails and beaches to walk my furry babies and enjoy their playtime. While keeping them on a feeding schedule, and generally taking them out for breaks on a schedule as well. However I also recognize the signs my dog gives for his different needs.

About: Hi! I'm a full-time cat mom of two wonderful kitties, Iggy & Hans. They make the rules around here, so unfortunately I can't get a dog right now, but that means I'm more than happy to watch your dog/pets in your home :) I grew up with 2 beautiful Newfoundlands and a Heinz variety, and I'm a huge animal lover. I have experience with young pups/senior dogs, and have some experience providing medication to both dogs and cats. I have the ability to work from home so I'd be with your pet the majority of the stay. This is great for pets who like their routines and thrive on a consistent schedule when it comes to feeding/walking/playtime etc. I've done sits for both active and low energy dogs, so I can adapt to their energy level:) As a cat mom who loves to travel internationally, I understand how stressful and hard it can be to trust someone with your home/pet and I'd be happy to provide as many updates and photos as you'd like :)

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life. More recently, while living on a farm, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and helped care for two kittens we rescued and raised until they grew into happy, independent cats. Although I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. My background in hospitality has taught me to be highly organized, dependable, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, so I’ll always treat your pets with kindness and respect while keeping you updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities, and I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide so your pet receives the same level of care they’re used to at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate weekdays, weekends, holidays, and many last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine and your schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible.

I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.

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!

Ernie had a great time at his sleepover! Haley and Mark were communicative and made every effort to make sure our guy would be happy with his stay. They were also accommodating with our schedule which was very helpful!

We left Kroshk in the care of Kelly and Natalie and were super happy. They have great strategies to introduce new dogs to their home and dogs and made our pup feel super comfortable. We received many updates of Kroshka having fun as well. I would rebook without hesitation, thank you!

About: Animals have been my passion and career for over 10 years. My background includes working in dog daycares, veterinary medicine, and animal control, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I've welcomed many dogs into my home over the years and treat every pet like family. I currently have one dog and three cats, so my only requirement is that visiting dogs are social and comfortable around other animals. I look forward to giving your pet a safe, loving home away from home! As a stay-at-home mom to one child, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Your pet will be treated like part of the family while in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the day and can provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and lots of attention. Dogs will have access to a safe, comfortable home environment and plenty of supervised interaction. I have one dog and three cats, so I only accept dogs that are social and comfortable around other animals. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, loved, and at home while you're away.

Jessica was great with Kira! I felt confident in leaving her there, she was very quick in responding and Kira was happy after a couple of days with Jessica. Its great she has a fenced yard where dogs can roam around safely.

We were so happy with how Tyler took care of our dog while we were out of town! He's attentive and knowledgable, and you can tell how much he loves and cares for dogs by the thought and effort that he puts in to make your pup feel at home, even when they're away from home. We will 100% be using Tyler's services again in the future. Thanks again! :)

Emma was amazing in watching our dog Junebug! Not only did she make sure our dog was fed and taken care of, but she went the extra mile! She took Junebug to the dog park on a regular basis, sent pictures and updates regularly. I can tell my dog was super comfortable with her and her family, and I would highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a temporary home for your pet while you travel.

Clover had the best time while we were away for 10 days. Montana took her on lots of off leash hikes, swimming in the river, and sent us photo and video updates everyday. Clover and Rune got along really well and looked like best buds playing chase. This was the perfect situation for our pup and we couldn't be happier. Will definitely be looking to have Clover stay with Montana again.

We felt so lucky to find these folks during a last minute shuffle of our plans for pet care for our dog, Maxwell. We were overwhelmed, running out of time, and stressed for our high energy breed. It was our first experience with a pet sitter and with Rover - and we were so happy with Coraline. We had a chance to meet and have a long discussion about our dog’s needs, and her calm reassuring energy helped us make a really good decision. Max had a great time, and from what I can tell he came home calmer & more grounded than when we left him (and of course we returned calmer!) it really felt like I got a better dog when I came home. We are super happy to have someone Max really enjoys being with if we ever find ourselves taking another trip without him!

I am so happy to have found this lovely couple who obviously care for dogs and cats. My small dog really enjoyed her time and came home exhausted but happy. Thanks so much for caring so nicely for her. Made my time away so much more enjoyable

We had a wonderful experience leaving our dogs with Karuna for the week! She was incredibly sweet, friendly and made us feel comfortable from the moment we dropped them off at her home. Her apartment is thoughtfully set up for pets and it was clear they were in a safe and caring environment. She did a great job managing our dogs’ medications, communicated with us throughout their stay and sent lots of photos and updates. We especially loved seeing pictures of them out on regular walks, which gave us peace of mind that they were getting plenty of exercise and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!

Joanne made huge efforts to ensure Mabel was comfortable and happy in her home. When Mabel refused to get in her car, Joanne provided alternative forms of exercise for her. It was obvious she connected well with Mabel and other dogs. Joanne also kept me updated and well informed about Mabel. Thank You!
