“Connie took amazing care of our dog during the boarding stay. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We really appreciate her kindness, patience, and attention to detail. We would definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much! 🐶❤️”
“I can’t say enough about how much we were pleased with Sandra’s service. It was our first time in 7 years leaving the dog with someone. My wife was extremely worried. But the first day we received a picture of Max (our dog) walking with kids to school, we realized he is fine, which allowed us to relax and actually enjoy our vacation. Sandra is very caring, responsible and just great. We were receiving pictures and short reports every day and in general the communication was very easy and prompt. Max had a great time as well, being in a company of kids and a centre of attention, we couldn’t find a better arrangement for our dog. And actually we think he misses them. Highly recommend!”
“Frank and Maye were wonderful sitters for our dog Belle, Belle doesn’t tend to get on well easily with strangers but she really seems to have enjoyed her stay and we even received tons of cute photos of our girl having a great time. Will choose them again in the future!”
“Andrea and Sergio were great and responsive communicators. They provided picture and video updates and Kuma came home tired and satisfied. I would book with them again!”
“Rui ìs amazing! She is kind and caring and a great communicator. I didn’t worry at all leaving my 2 dogs with her. She sent pictures and texts each day and responded quickly to any texts. Thanks again Rui and I hope Ruby and Pearl can stay with you again in the future.”
“Ryan and Marty were amazing, they kept a very good communication and sent us lots update with pictures and video. Ash loved staying with them. They made us feel relaxed during our time away from Ash.”
“Mandy and Jacky are the best. They took very good care of my boy, provided regular feedback and treated him as their own family member. I would again go back to them. Very professional and gentle souls : )”
“Jessie took such wonderful care of Max, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She genuinely cared for him and kept me updated with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was heartwarming to see how happy Max was and how quickly he bonded with Bubbles (her pup) and settled into her home. Knowing he was comfortable, loved, and having fun made all the difference. I would absolutely book with Jessie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dogsitter.”
“Coco and Hiaqian always go above and beyond with the care of our dogs. We always get daily updates and photos, and you can tell that they really love dogs. We feel that our dogs are always in great hands when staying with them. Thank you again!”
“This was the first time leaving George with a non family member. Ashleigh made us feel so comfortable and that George would be looked after. She sent pictures and updates which made us feel happy. George really enjoyed his time and I could see he was cared for and was treated like a king. Thank you and we will book again with Ashleigh, as we know she really cared for our Mr George. This was a great experience.”
“Jeanette and Hector were amazing! They sent multiple photos which we loved. Our dog seemed so well taken care of, we’d definitely use them again. Thank you again!”
“Trudy is the best pet sitter whom took very good care of my cat twice at different times. She send pics and short videos daily, so you can see how well your pet doing while you going away. Definitely would drop off my cat at her place again in the future. :)”
“Brittaney and Tommy are a wonderful couple I had to babysit my baby Mocha. They kept her entertained and tired her out for me. They provided me with updates, eased my mind and were very accommodating to my drop off and pickup times. Mocha is an energetic pup who loves to play and never seems tired. Would have had them dogsit again for me for my upcoming trip, unfortunately they were already booked. I was too slow in making arrangements. I definitely trust them and would not hesitate to rebook.”
“Anisa did great with our older malinois Skye. She was understanding of her quirks and our instructions and was super communicative through Skye's stay. Skye was happy and calm when I picked her up and seemed to have a good time with Anisa. Would highly recommend her!”
“We felt so comforted to know Dashi was in such kind and caring hands for his first boarding experience. We could see how well Dashi settled in through all the pics and updates. We also very much appreciated Ashley and Kelvin’s understanding and flexibility during a stressful time. Wonderful to work with and friendly as always.”
“Chenhui provided exceptional care for Jammy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated throughout the stay with so many photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind. She carefully followed all of Jammy’s care instructions and reached out whenever she had any clarifying questions, showing how attentive and responsible she is. Her dog, Bruno, was a wonderful companion for Jammy, and the other furry friends, Mochi and Ginger, made the experience even more fun. Jammy enjoyed plenty of long walks and even had an exciting car ride to a regional park! Chenhui did an amazing job managing the needs of all the dogs while ensuring each one received individual attention and care. We were especially impressed during the meet-and-greet process. She made sure we were completely comfortable with Bruno being around Jammy and even went the extra mile by arranging a second meet-and-greet to ensure the dogs got along well before the stay. It’s clear that Chenhui genuinely loves and understands dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing Jammy was in such caring hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend Chenhui to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter!”
“Angela was the best pet sitter i could hope for for my senior dog. I felt so lucky that she was available and I knew my dog would be cared for really well. Super thankful for Angela and her kiddos.”
“Heng-Chi was great Mocha loved her and her family! She was great at communicating (before and during the stay) and I received pictures on a daily basis which put me at ease during my trip away from Mocha.”
“Benji had a very happy reunion with his 2 fellow dachshunds. As soon as we arrived at Tracy's, Benji walked right over to Tracy and was "at home". Tracy kept Benji active with walks and play time, and even let him help with the laundry and landscaping. This was Benji's 4th stay with Tracy and he has several more this year to look forward to. Highly recommend!!”

“Iris did an amazing job these past almost two weeks! Besides doing all the food, water, and litter for my cat perfectly she also vacuumed and took the garbage out without me having to ask. Really kind. Also took great videos and photos! My cat loves her now!”
“First time dropping our kitty off and Judy was an awesome sitter! He wasn’t eating well in the beginning which was concerning but she reassured me that it’s normal because of the new environment and after he got comfortable he was finishing up all his meals. I can tell he trusts her and that he had a great time during the stay from the photos and videos updated daily. Would highly recommend! Thank you Judy for taking care of my sweet boy!”
About: As a cat parent, I know they need a unique approach. I focus on earning their trust at their own pace and reading their body language. Knowing exactly when they want affection and when they need space.
“We really loved Kenyan she is very professional and punctual. My pet Luna really loved her attention and care. Every visit from Kenyan was amazing and in details with photos and records of everything that she did to Luna. We really recommend her as a pet sitter. For sure we will book her again. Thank you so much for thanking such a great care of our baby Luna. 🐱”
“Verna (I Hsin) was a fantastic caretaker for my cat Hazel during the nearly one-month period I was away. She was reliable, demonstrated a genuine concern for my pet, and provided comprehensive updates after each visit. Hazel was well adjusted and well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend Verna.”
“We were gone for 5 days and our two cats were well taken care of. The skittish one instantly liked her, which is rare. She has a way with cats. Loved the daily updates with videos and pictures. Highly recommend.”
“Mandy is attentive, kind, and patient; she provided excellent care for our cat Mochi and sent regular updates and photos which were much appreciated. Will be reaching out for her help again!”
“Sarah was so wonderful with my senior dog while we were out of town for a few days. She took her on long walks, gave her lots of snuggles and made sure she was happy and well fed. I loved seeing the detailed updates on how her visits went each time, and felt that my dog was in wonderful hands with Sarah! Will absolutely book with her again in future. Thanks Sarah!”

“I only chose Anita from seeing other peoples reviews, and they weren’t kidding. Anita took great care of my cat, made sure it had a good time, and made sure it came back clean. If your pets needs a caretaker who is considerate, enthusiastic, and professional, choose Anita.”
“Josh dropped in on my cat for one week. He did a great job with feeding and cleaning up after a couple of messes. I found Josh to be very responsible and responsive to messages, between and during his visits. I will definitely consider bringing Josh in the next time I'm away.”
“Stacie is an amazing and truly responsible sitter! I boarded my cat, little grey with her for about three weeks. At first I was a bit worried, and he adapted so well under her care — eating, sleeping, and relaxing like he was at home. Stacie sent me daily updates with videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling overseas. I could really tell she cared about him and paid attention to his needs. I’m very happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend Stacie to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. I will definitely book with her again the next time I travel!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, including giving meds and handling shy or anxious kitties. I’m also not afraid of litter box duty — I actually find it satisfying to keep their space clean and comfortable. I know how particular cats can be, and I always take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and happy.
“Sara is a super attentive, knowledgeable and caring cat sitter. She was willing to take my cat Strudel for him first rover experience over a long weekend and provided thoughtful care and frequent video updates to me. He had his own room and ensuite to help him feel safe in a new environment. Unfortunately Strudel played hide and seek in the house with Sara near the end of the visit but was found safe and sound. Sara generously came by to drop off an item left behind after his stay. Thank you!”

“Anmol and Abhinav are incredible dog sitters! They have really taken the time to get to know my dog and all of her quirks! They always send pictures and videos and are easy to communicate with! I have been sending my dog to them for a little while now and will continue to have them watch my pup as they always go above and beyond. They have worked with my crazy schedule and are very accomidating! Thank you both for giving me the peace of mind knowing my pup is safe and cared for while I'm at work! The bonus of sending your pup to Anmol and Abhinav is that they have a sweet pup named Bella who Delilah (my pup) and I look forward to seeing every time!”
“We felt such comfort and peace of mind that our Dashi was in such caring hands with Ashley and Kelvin. Professional, considerate, and friendly with regular updates and wonderful photos! Dashi got some good cuddle time in, which we were so happy to see. Loved that Dashi could have a great walking buddy, Charlee, too.”
“Connie was a kind, responsive, and dutiful dog sitter for Fozzie. She was really flexible with drop off and pick up times which is super helpful for my schedule and type of work. She also provided me with photo and message updates throughout the day. It was great to see that Fozzie settled in so nicely with their family including their dog Alpha and their two kiddos. Fozzie struggles with separation anxiety and has leash reactivity with other dogs so he can sometimes be a bit of a handful but Connie demonstrated familiarity and confidence around dealing with these challenges, which helped me have confidence too. Connie also goes above and beyond by providing homemade healthy treats to doggos like steamed pumpkin. Would highly recommend but Fozzie calls dibs! 🥰”
“Xuanhanyue took care of our pup Tofu and she is an excellent sitter with attention to details. Our pup skipped meal so she followed instructions to feed her some treats to not go empty stomach. She was also willing to take care of Tofu on last minute request, which we canceled later but loved her gesture to accommodate us. Bubble is absolutely adorable and Tofu went along with her very easily. I would recommend her.”
“We had a great experience with Bella! Enzo is a very anxious dog and usually has a hard time when he's away from his people so I was worried about leaving him. Bella was incredibly patient and caring, and I was so happy to hear that Enzo was actually calm and didn't cry/whine while he was with her. It says a lot about how comfortable and safe she made him feel! She also kept me updated with lots of photos and videos! I would definitely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dogsitter!”
“Sara is awesome!! It’s our second time leaving our dog with her and she always goes the extra mile :) will definitely want to engage her services again and wouldn’t hesitate recommending her!”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! Your kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. The updates and care you provided meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate your dedication and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for treating my dog like your own!”
“She is the best! It was my first time using this app so i was a little bit hesistant. However when i met her, i felt so relaxed! She helped me at the time that i really needed the most when i had to leave my dogs to get their documents ready for our trip in Europe. Due to traffic and documents being behind, i was an hour and haft late from our pick up and she was very understanding. I couldn't ask for a better person! If i live in town i would definitely recommend using her for you furbabies 🥰 Thank you so much Gini!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid - big ones and small ones. In fact, I like them so much, that I made it my job. I have a Pomeranian girl myself and she is joy of my life. I like taking pups on long walks and spoil them with snacks. I used to shelter dogs when I lived in Vietnam Me and my husband are usually home, at least one of us. So it’s easy for us to take care of pets and take them out on walks. I take pets for walks, I give them belly rubs, snacks and play with them. They also can play with my dog. I feed them according to owner's preferences.
“Lovely couple! They are obviously pet lovers! I’m drawn to their calm and kind demeanor. Mo is usually unsure of new people but he approached them after a few minutes. Lots and patient and calm interactions which Mo prefers. Nothing but positive vibes from this couple. Thank you Hector and Jeanette!”

“Sandra was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog for the day and treated him like part of the family. Both she and her daughters gave him plenty of love, attention, and affection throughout his stay. We received updates, and it was so reassuring to know he was happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog had a fabulous time with Natasha! He loved playing with Peanut and completely wore himself out. Natasha was very kind and attentive, and we’d be happy to return.”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 4 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and personalities. I treat every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I specialize in caring for small and medium sized dogs (up to 25 lbs.) and understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. Whether they're playful and energetic or enjoy a quiet day of cuddles and naps, I'm committed to providing dependable, patient, and loving care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands. I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on your pup throughout the day and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and following each dog's usual schedule to help them feel relaxed and at home. Our building is secure and quiet, perfect for dogs who prefer a calm environment without the stress of a busy household. We live in a cozy apartment just a quick 10 mins. drive from YVR Airport, making drop-offs and pick-ups incredibly convenient for travelers! I am home full time and dedicate my days to providing structured, attentive care for small and medium sized dogs. Your pup will have a wonderful, friendly companion in my gentle 2 years old Shichon! With several beautiful parks nearby, I take the dogs on at least three walks a day, a refreshing morning stroll and an afternoon walk (each lasting 25+ minutes), plus a short 10 mins. bedtime stretch, alongside plenty of potty breaks as needed. Between walks, your pup will enjoy playtime, mental enrichment, cozy cuddles, and 100% supervised care. I always follow your dog's regular routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home!
“Another great day with Natz, her family and their dog Russell. Megs must love it there because when we arrived she stood outside the door crying to be let in. Pretty telling because if we drop her off at day care, she cannot wait to come.in. This has been a great option for us and cannot thank this family enough for their love for Megs.”
“Menghan was very professional. My dog had an incident and unfortunately attacked her dog Jenny. :( She was able to separate both of them and she right away updated me of what happened and was able to find out the source of the attack. Again, we're so sorry and thank you for taking care of Casper.”
“This is our second time using Siyu’s doggy daycare service, and we’re definitely going to be returning clients from now on. She sent updates and photos/videos throughout the day. My two dogs love Siyu and her dog Oscar. My anxious mama’s boy, Barkley, didn’t even look back once when I handed his leash to Siyu 😂 From that alone, I know Barkley feels safe and well cared for with Siyu and her smart boy Oscar. A few minutes later, I even got an update that Barkley was flying around the house out of excitement, which was the cherry on top. We can’t thank Siyu enough - as dog parents, we know how guilty and concerned we feel leaving our dogs all day while we work. But thanks to Siyu, we don’t have to feel nearly as guilty anymore, knowing our pups are safe, happy, and cared for. We definitely recommend Siyu :)”

About: I was raised in a pet-loving family and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all life stages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve even helped my own dog deliver her babies, and now as my doggy siblings have gotten older, I care for them through challenges like dementia and cataracts. Growing up with three doggy siblings has taught me exactly how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. I'm currently working part-time, which I can spend lots of play time with your furry family member. I value not only giving them food and water, but also that spiritual happiness, so play dates are for sure! When caring for pets, safety is my number one priority. I always make sure the environment is secure, check that doors and gates are locked, and keep any dangerous items out of reach. To give your pet the patient care they deserve.
“Gini walked me dog while I was away on vacation. He loved his walks with her. She is friendly, on time, and notes when each walk starts and ends.

In addition to my own dog, I have cared for other family dogs, nurturing them from puppyhood to adulthood with the same level of care and dedication.

My schedule is very flexible, and I can definitely adapt to your kittie's or pup's schedule. I wouldn't be able to have your dogs and cats in my home.

“Connie took amazing care of our dog during the boarding stay. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We really appreciate her kindness, patience, and attention to detail. We would definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much! 🐶❤️”
“I can’t say enough about how much we were pleased with Sandra’s service. It was our first time in 7 years leaving the dog with someone. My wife was extremely worried. But the first day we received a picture of Max (our dog) walking with kids to school, we realized he is fine, which allowed us to relax and actually enjoy our vacation. Sandra is very caring, responsible and just great. We were receiving pictures and short reports every day and in general the communication was very easy and prompt. Max had a great time as well, being in a company of kids and a centre of attention, we couldn’t find a better arrangement for our dog. And actually we think he misses them. Highly recommend!”
“Coco and Hiaqian always go above and beyond with the care of our dogs. We always get daily updates and photos, and you can tell that they really love dogs. We feel that our dogs are always in great hands when staying with them. Thank you again!”
“This was the first time leaving George with a non family member. Ashleigh made us feel so comfortable and that George would be looked after. She sent pictures and updates which made us feel happy. George really enjoyed his time and I could see he was cared for and was treated like a king. Thank you and we will book again with Ashleigh, as we know she really cared for our Mr George. This was a great experience.”
“Anisa did great with our older malinois Skye. She was understanding of her quirks and our instructions and was super communicative through Skye's stay. Skye was happy and calm when I picked her up and seemed to have a good time with Anisa. Would highly recommend her!”
“Angela was the best pet sitter i could hope for for my senior dog. I felt so lucky that she was available and I knew my dog would be cared for really well. Super thankful for Angela and her kiddos.”
“I only chose Anita from seeing other peoples reviews, and they weren’t kidding. Anita took great care of my cat, made sure it had a good time, and made sure it came back clean. If your pets needs a caretaker who is considerate, enthusiastic, and professional, choose Anita.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Anmol and Abhinav’s pet sitting services for our dog, Nova! As nervous dog parents, we really appreciated how they went above and beyond to ensure Nova had a fun and safe time while we were away. Their dog, Bella, was the perfect playmate for Nova, and it was such a relief to know she had a companion to spend time with. Anmol and Abhinav worked wonderfully as a team, providing us with regular updates and adorable pictures of Nova’s adventures. It truly eased our minds to see her so happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Anmol and Abhinav for anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
“Sara is a super attentive, knowledgeable and caring cat sitter. She was willing to take my cat Strudel for him first rover experience over a long weekend and provided thoughtful care and frequent video updates to me. He had his own room and ensuite to help him feel safe in a new environment. Unfortunately Strudel played hide and seek in the house with Sara near the end of the visit but was found safe and sound. Sara generously came by to drop off an item left behind after his stay. Thank you!”
“Jeannalla and Richelle watched Ginger over a weekend and I felt she was very well taken care of. Jeannalla kept me up to date and was very observant of Ginger. Highly recommend.”
“Millie was so well taken care of. She had lots of walks and cuddles. Plus her hair and teeth were brushed more than at her own house, lol Will be booking again soon!”
“Livvy had a great time with Zem and Toby. Zem provided regular updates and photos, and I swear our dog was smiling in all of them! Thanks Zem for a fantastic experience for all, especially Livvy.”
About: Hi! I'm Nancy — a lifelong animal lover who genuinely treats every pet I care for like my own family. 🐾 My hands-on experience started when a close friend trusted me to care for their dog for over six months — and I never looked back. Since then I've cared for pups from 3 months to 10 years old, across a range of breeds and personalities: energetic Huskies, gentle Golden Retrievers, fluffy Pomeranians. Every animal has taught me something new about patience, attention, and love. What I bring isn't just a safe space to stay — it's genuine care. I pay attention to routines, moods, and what makes each animal feel at home. When your pet is with me, you'll never wonder if they're okay. They will be more than okay. 🤗 What you can expect ✅ Daily photo & video updates So you can see your pet happy in real time ✅Regular walks & playtime Tailored to your pet's energy level and needs ✅Treated like family Never just another booking — real attention, every day ✅Strict diet & routine care Your feeding and care instructions followed to the letter ✅Always reachable Quick responses & open communication throughout the stay ✅Multi-breed comfort From tiny Poms to big Huskies — all sizes welcome Working remotely provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available to care for dogs during afternoons and weekends, ensuring they receive the attention and companionship they need. This flexibility enables me to tailor my services to each pet’s unique requirements, providing personalized care that aligns with their routines and preferences. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Since I work remotely, I can give them frequent potty breaks, walks, and attention. I also maintain a clean space, provide fresh water and meals on schedule, and follow any special care instructions from pet owners. Whether it’s cuddle time, interactive play, or a relaxing nap, I make sure each pet feels right at home.
“Loved Heather! She took such good care of my girl and treated her like one of the family. My dog felt so comfortable with them. Lovely photo updates of a very unphotogenic dog. Couldn't be happier.”
“We tried Doggy Meadows for daycare with our timid and nervous pup Canela and were happy with the whole experience. The place is super clean and looks brand new, which immediately put me at ease. Canela is pretty scared of other dogs, so we needed her to stay separate. They had no problem with the request and took great care of her. I also liked that each suite already had its own bed, bowls, and fresh water. I wasn’t aware that this location is ‘Doggy Meadow’, a lot of great details on their webpage. The owners were very welcoming and greeted us right on time. It’s a family-owned business and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs. They answered all my questions quickly and clearly, which was a huge relief because it had been a long time since we tried any sort of daycare with our skittish dog - since my sister was our original dog sitter but has now moved. The big gated field is beautiful. Canela got to go on off-leash walks and just roam around happily, which made me so glad we chose them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring, clean, and well-run daycare! Thank you Yoni and Lonnie ☺️ Canela is looking forward to more exercise 😌”
“Lovely family for my pup to spend time with! They were perfect sitters, giving lots of updates and putting so much love and care into making her feel at home. Responsive and flexible. Thanks so much ❤️”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Dean! From the beginning, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time we were away. Regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands. Dean goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners feel at ease. We will definitely be using Dean’s services again in the future!”
“Maria & Gabriel were great with our boy! Otis was immediately comfortable with Maria at drop-off. Maria & Gabriel are friendly, personable and very communicative. Most importantly Otis was chill & happy. They give regular updates & pics! Highly recommended!”
