“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.”
“Thank you so much, Andrea and Sergio! They have watched our dog, Mochi, overnight on multiple occasions. By the third time, when Sergio arrived to pick her up, Mochi was pulling the leash to run to him, tail wagging with excitement. They sent us regular updates throughout our trip showing Mochi and explaining how she was handling the changes and adapting to her new environment. They even went so far as to help train her to walk properly while leashed! This gave us great comfort and allowed us to enjoy our vacation since we knew Mochi was safe and loved.”
“Frank and Maye are amazing. Very responsible and communicative. We got regular updates and photos which made us feel much more at ease. I truly don’t think you could find nicer people to take care of your dog.”
“Sandra and her kids took wonderful care of my dog! They are genuine animal lovers and very knowledgeable, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was clearly happy and well looked after. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of our dogs. We know that they are in such a good care when they are in your hands. We received daily updates of our dogs having a great time with Coco. We plan on boarding them again soon.”
“I Left my 2 dogs with her for 11 days and she did amazing! She took such good care of them and I got lots of pictures and videos throughout their stay! I would definitely book with her again.”
“I would like to share how incredible my experience was boarding my dog with Mandy and Jacky during my recent two-week vacation. They are truly amazing and treated my dog just like a member of their own family. I especially appreciated receiving at least two detailed updates every day, complete with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Their level of professionalism is outstanding. I was so impressed by the nightly routine they established with my dog, which included cleaning, brushing his fur and his teeth. We love them and will definitely be going back. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.”
“Moishe visited Hector and Jeanette for 5 nights on his first visit. We got photos everyday of walks and playtime indoor which was very nice. He was definately sad to leave when we collected him. Would recommend their services and will use again. Thank you for taking care of king Moishe a”
“Rui was wonderful and very attentive with our dog. She gave us regular updates with pictures and texts of our dog during the stay. We were very happy with her care of our dog during our time away and we will definitely contact her again for future dog sits. Thank you very much Rui!”
“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!”
“This was our third time with Anita and our dog loved it once again. We were away for almost a month and Katara felt and seemed very well taken care of. We will absolutely use Anita's services again.”
“Got it! Here’s the revised version without long dashes: Brittaney and Tommy were incredibly kind and attentive caregivers for our cat, Hazel. She can be quite shy and initially hid under the couch for a day, but thanks to their patience and gentle approach, she gradually warmed up. By the end of her stay, she seemed perfectly at home and didn’t want to leave. We’re so grateful for the love and care they showed her and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable pet sitters.”
“Nien Tzu looked after Daisy, our black labradoodle, for the first time from Aug 1-17. We knew she was in good hands by the number of questions Nien asked initially to make sure she understood Daisy’s needs and habits. While we were away we got daily updates with photos and videos which we really appreciated. Nien took Daisy on lots of different types of walks and went even further afield from Richmond to Pacific Spirit Park. The extra effort Nien went meant alot to us. We highly recommend her !”
“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.”
“It’s always hard to leave your doggies behind when going on a trip. I appreciate the service and the drop off and pick up add-on made it very convenient for me… Happy to reunite with them. And thank you zhikun and family for taking care of them. :-)”
“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. :)”

“Iris is such a caring and lovely individual. She made sure to always send lots photos/videos and connect via text providing lots of details about how my cat is doing. I felt very comfortable and safe leaving my cat in Iris' care. Most importantly Iris got the approval of my cat who is very picky and with other sitters stayed hidden. My cat comes out every time for Iris and that makes me feel even better that my cat was feeling safe.”
“Keyan was an ideal cat sitter for us! She was wonderful with our kitten, and she also communicated clearly, showed up right when she said she would, and sent us detailed reports. She is also a very nice person. I can’t think of anything Keyan could have done better!”
“Daphne was fantastic! I felt my 14 year old cat was well cared for the whole time. She provided frequent updates and photos of how he was doing and even administered his medications when needed. Every photo I got he looked happy and comfortable. She also provides a drop off service which is so convenient. Thanks again Daphne, and I would definitely love for you to look after Sylvester again in the future.”
“Mikayla took such wonderful care of my senior rescue cat, Smokey, while I was away for a week. Leaving an older cat can be stressful, and she made the experience completely worry-free. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Smokey can be particular, but he looked relaxed and content in her updates. It’s clear he got plenty of gentle care and affection. When I came home, the apartment was spotless and Smokey was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book Mikayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy sitter.”

I have a fenced and small patio in our ground floor unit. In addition, we get to enjoy a beautiful court yard in my building. Your fur pup is allowed to go on the furniture and bed.

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.
“Yaqiu is an absolute star cat sitter! She is so attentive and thoughtful, keeping his litter and water fresh and even offering to let his food warm up to room temperature before feeding time. Our Sam was doing his signature belly twirls for her (his ultimate sign of trust!). Will definitely book Yaqiu again!”

“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! 🥰”
“Thank you for accepting our very last minute request! This was our first time using Rover and were a bit nervous at first but Andrea and her partner made us feel at ease immediately. She sent pictures and we could tell our Millie was in safe hands. Thank you!!!”
“Anmol & Abhinav are such amazing hosts that I could not be happier leaving my guy with them! They showed him so much love and care and kept me updated throughout my dog's stay! I would definitely recommend them and will be leaving my guy with them in the future. 🙏🏽”
“Sara was an excellent sitter and we will be booking again! Gunner had a great day playing with 2 other dogs and getting lots of attention and space to enjoy! Regular updates and easy to book last minute. Sara was a pleasure to deal with!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Hector and Jeanette are always so loving and caring with Jordi and when I leave I never have to worry about him They send pictures throughout his stay and it is clear that he is relaxed in their home. They are always accommodating whenever their schedule allows and I use them on a regular basis and highly recommend them.”
“Ashley and Kelvin are excellent taking caring of Sunia! She enjoyed her time with them and I received frequent photo updates. I will most definitely have them doggy sit for me again.”
“I can't say enough about what a great sitter Viktoriia is. She is so easy to work with and sent me loads of photos and videos. She put our dog at ease from the get-go and I could tell that she was very happy staying with Viktoriia. I highly recommend her!”
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.
“We had an amazing experience with Gini! This was our first time leaving our fur baby with anyone and Gini made the experience calming by sending us picture updates of playtime with her pup and walks by the river. We will definitely use Gini again next time we make our way to the big city 😀”
“At first we were a little worried since this is my first time leaving our dogs with day care. They loved it! Sandra took good care of my dogs while we were away. She always updated me by sending messages and photos so I know they are in good hands. Thanks!”
“Menghan was super great with Dharna. Provided lots of photos of my girl which was greatly appreciated and very responsive. Dharna looked very happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend her. Would totally book her again!”
About: I have always had a deep love for animals. My home is shared with Dexter, a 18 year old Shih tzu poodle cross and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet's care. Your dog will be treated as part of my family, with plenty of cuddles, playtime and attention. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate ample time to pet care. I prioritize walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that your dog receives the attention and exercise they need. I'm enthusiastic about creating a routine that suits both me and your pet, fostering a happy and healthy environment. I live in a condo with my own fenced yard with plenty of green space and parks near me. My home is also very pet friendly.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old—both my own family dogs and my neighbors’—so being around animals feels natural and comforting to me. With my Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) training, I bring a calm, safety-focused mindset and stay attentive to any changes in your pet’s health or behavior. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and let them build trust at their own pace.

You’ll receive clear communication and regular photo updates, and your pet will enjoy a clean, quiet, peaceful environment where they feel safe and loved.

Your pet will always have someone present, patient, and attentive with them. I offer boarding in a calm, clean home with a large fenced backyard, perfect for safe play and fresh-air breaks. Pets follow their normal routine—meals, walks, playtime, and quiet rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m home often and give plenty of attention, supervision, and photo updates.

About: ** We live in a cozy apartment just a quick 10 min. drive from YVR Airport, making drop-offs and pick-ups incredibly convenient for travelling pet parents! ** 📢 A little note for pet parents: I typically care for dogs up to 22 lbs, as my experience and home are best suited for smaller pups. Rover currently doesn’t offer an option for dogs up to 22 lbs, so I’ve selected the 16-40 lbs range as the closest available option. Please note that my actual maximum weight is 22 lbs. Hello, I’m Catherine! I started caring for dogs for family and friends in 2022, and over the years I realized how much I truly enjoy it. That eventually led me to get my own dog, Summer, in 2024. She’s currently 2 years old and is a Bichon-Shih Tzu mix who is very friendly and loves meeting new dogs. Having a dog of my own has taught me so much about their care, behaviour, and different personalities. I’m excited to continue learning, get to know more dogs and their different personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. 🧳☀️ FOR BOARDING & DOGGY DAY CARE: I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day and give them lots 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. 🐾 FOR DOG WALKING: My regular availability for dog walking is every Monday! Your dog is welcome to join my dog, Summer, and I accept a maximum of 2 other dogs, each 22 lbs or less, so I can comfortably manage all 3 and prioritize their safety. I’ll take them around the nearby parks, including dog-friendly areas where they can safely run, play, and enjoy some off-leash time when appropriate. I may open additional days when my schedule allows, but Mondays will be my permanent availability for now. If you’re looking for someone to walk your dog every Monday, feel free to reach out! 🧳☀️ FOR BOARDING & DOGGY DAY CARE: Our building is secure and quiet, perfect for dogs who prefer a calm environment without the stress of a busy household, for a comfortable stay here. 🐾 FOR DOG WALKING: Your dog’s safety is always my priority. I’ll keep a close eye on every dog throughout the walk and choose safe, dog-friendly parks and walking areas. I’ll also make sure the dogs are comfortable with each other and supervised at all times, especially when they’re playing together.
“Sarah has been wonderful walking Henry. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about him, which gives us real peace of mind. Henry always comes back happy and well exercised, and we’re grateful to have her helping take such good care of him.”
“Gini was so wonderful! Very responsive while I made a hundred changes due to bad things happening in my life. Really appreciated her. She showed up on time and walked Rosy for a couple mins more than the scheduled hour. Sent a photo.”
“Coco was very accommodating with my last minute request. She was very friendly and met me on time at my door and immediately Benji took off with her. It seems like they had a great hour long walk. I would book Coco again without hesitation.”
“Mandy was incredibly caring and so kind to our puppy Mabel. She was so happy to accommodate us, and every day she had such a thorough summary of the walk. She sent many pictures and videos every day that brightened up my busy work day! My puppy loves her so much, and she eagerly greets her as a new best friend. We'll definitely be using her service in the future, and I'm so thankful to have found Mandy and Jacky!”

“Dannie has been taking my dogs for walks a couple times a week and she always takes nice photos of them and updates me when their walk is finished. She notices differences in their behaviour and lets me know.”
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.
About: I am a former dog mom who raised a female Shih Tzu from a puppy, and I firmly believe that love and intentional care help animals live longer, healthier lives. Her name was Java and she lived past 15 years and remained active well into her senior years. Some of my most cherished memories with her included dog walking, baths, car rides, bonding time, and trips to the park. I didn’t treat her as just a dog—I treated her as family because I truly loved her. 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. I have experience supporting dogs with anxiety and shyness, as my own dog experienced this and overcame it through building trust, providing positive reinforcement, playtime, and bonding activities that I provided. I love nature and adventurous activities, which allows me to actively engage and enrich the lives of furry friends. As a nurse, I am naturally empathetic, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and patient care. I live by the principle of not doing harm but always doing good—this extends not only to humans but also to every dog I care for. I aim to provide services that are tailored to furry friends, because every furry friend is unique and has different needs. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of furry friends because even though they cannot speak, they truly understand and feel when they are loved. My goal is not only to provide services but also to make a lasting, meaningful impact in the life of every furry friend I care for! Each service is personalized with unique care, some services include, Puppy Training 🐶 Experience with dogs at all life stages—from puppy to senior 🐶🐕 Experience caring for sick dogs🌡 and administering oral medications Enriching activities such as dog walks and playtime⛱️🏕🐩🐕🐶 Personalized services including progress reports📋 seasonal health brochures, meeting hygienic needs, and so much more🥰 I am a nurse currently in graduate school, which means I have flexible weekly hours and can provide dog services on a schedule that works well for you. I also offer weekend boarding with advance booking. I can also accommodate last‑minute bookings as well. I provide safe, personalized care in your home, following your preferences to ensure your pet is protected and your home is secure. You can count on me to treat your pet with love!
About: I can walk dogs big and small, always with your dog’s safety and well-being in mind when we’re outside. I can run with your dog to shake off that extra energy (theirs and mine 😆) Great at meal preps and saying “Good boy / girl!” I’m available during weekdays 9am-5pm for dog walking, and meal prep. I can’t do dog boarding right now coz the condo I’m currently living in doesn’t allow keeping dogs. Your dog will always be on leash outside to keep them safe. I’ll make sure your dog is hydrated, all settled down (and well-fed, if meal prep is needed) when back at home before I leave.

About: Hey there! My name is Alex. I do many different things for work, all of which bring me joy on some level. I work in various restaurant and bar related jobs. I am also studying part time, working towards a nursing degree. I have an active outdoor lifestyle and love to share my time outside with dogs that need exercise. I also like to take dogs for walks- I am flexible and will adapt to the needs of the animal. I have had dogs on and off throughout my life. Although my current living situation does not allow me to have dogs of my own, I jump at opportunities to take care of other people's dogs. I currently have a cat and can similarly offer my services to take care of cats with more complex medical conditions, having plenty of experience administering insulin and respiratory medications. My cat has diabetes and asthma, and I've succeeded in managing both. I am currently working part time, so I am very adaptable with regards to your pets and their respective routines. I have an active lifestyle and a nurturing personality, so I get alot out of taking care of animals, especially those with special needs. I will provide services preferably in other homes only. However, small dogs (less than 25) pounds can be hosted in my comfy apartment. I have a cat that is well socialized with other animals, having been raised in a dog home and previously living with two other cats. I have never seen him hiss or swat another animal.

“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.”
“Sandra and her kids took wonderful care of my dog! They are genuine animal lovers and very knowledgeable, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was clearly happy and well looked after. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

“This was our third time with Anita and our dog loved it once again. We were away for almost a month and Katara felt and seemed very well taken care of. We will absolutely use Anita's services again.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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!”
“I had an excellent experience using Rover, and Jung and Alice were wonderful with Molly, my Goldendoodle. Molly was happy, well taken care of, and settled in right away. I really appreciated the regular photos and videos, they made it so easy to relax knowing she was in good hands. Everything was smooth, professional, and reassuring from start to finish. I’ll definitely be using Jung and Alice again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring dog care!”
“Ranah and Franki were incredible caretakers for Huck. They were diligent and asked great questions during the intake. Their attention to details made me feel comfortable off the bat that they really cared about his wellbeing and to make sure it would be a good fit. During his stay, they were incredibly communicative with daily updates and cute pictures! I could tell by the pictures that Huck was very comfortable with them. I would 100% recommend Ranah and Franki to anyone looking for care for their pets. Thank you for making a paranoid dog mom feel comfortable :)”
“They are an amazing couple, they took great care of Kata!! They sent us photos and videos every day and kept us up to date with everything. Highly recommended!!! Thanks guys!!”
“Yumiko watched my dog for a few days while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have been happier with her care! She was very friendly, responsive, and attentive from the start. She took my dog on lots of walks and sent me daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. My dog always looked so happy and comfortable in the photos! My dog can sometimes be nervous around other dogs, and Yumiko took the time to introduce them slowly, which went really well. It was clear she genuinely cares about dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in her care, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Allison was great. She was able to accommodate us with a last-minute booking. She sent multiple updates and photos about how things were going. Definitely recommend!”
“Zaid was fantastic caring for chewy over the week. He made sure he was comfortable and happy at every turn including keeping me informed and up to date. Highly recommend”
“Booking with Derek, over a long weekend and with short notice, was super smooth and a great fit. The informative updates and healthy supply of photos and videos really helped us feel that Oscar was in great hands and able to adjust to our absence. Derek was communicative and very accommodating through every step of the process, and was able to handle Oscar's extra needs perfectly. We would definitely book again!”
“Natasha was really great with my border collie. I could tell that she really loves dogs from the beginning and felt my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my Border Collie received! As anyone who knows the breed understands, they’re incredibly energetic and need lots of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation—and that’s exactly what my dog got. From the start, it was clear that they genuinely care about animals. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed, which says everything. I especially appreciated how they kept up with his high energy levels and made sure he stayed engaged and active. On top of that, they were able to step in on short notice, which was a huge help and took a lot of stress off my shoulders. It’s not easy to find someone so reliable, flexible, and attentive.”
“I left my dog JJ with Madison for about a week. I had no doubts that I was leaving him in caring and capable hands. JJ got along very well with Madison's cat Ghost and Madison shared pictures and updates with me. Thanks so much Madison. 10/10 would recommend. I look forward to leaving JJ with Madison again in January for our next trip.”
