About: We both grew up in homes full of pets, including dogs and cats, (with Jeannalla growing up with 11 dogs!), so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. Over the years, we’ve looked after different breeds and sizes, which has helped us understand their unique personalities and needs. Our inspiration comes from our own dogs back home, whom we have not brought here yet, so we fill that space by caring for dogs here and treating each one as if they were our own. We are gentle, patient, and genuinely love spending time with them, so we never rush their care and take our time on walks, especially when we know how much they enjoy them! We put our full attention into making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, so you can have peace of mind while they are with us. We love taking LOTS of photos, so we’ll keep you caught up! We are both working professionals, with me on a hybrid setup and Richelle working on-site. On weekends, we are both home, and on weekdays we can still be flexible given the nature of my work. For dog walking and drop-ins, we make it a priority to be on time and fully present with your dog. We do not rush walks and let them move at their own pace, while staying alert to keep everyone safe. We always clean up after them and make sure they are comfortable. We also pay close attention to their behavior and will report anything unusual that could signal health or other concerns.
“Jin is an amazing sitter! She updated us multiple times a day which made us feel at ease while on vacation. Aero was happy, comfortable and clearly well loved. Highly recommend Jin if you’re looking for a reliable sitter. 🐾💗”

I treat every cat as if they were my own.
“I had an exceptional experience with Stacie who cared for my senior special needs cat for 3 weeks while I was out of the country. She provided meticulous care, including administering multiple medications several times daily. The updates Stacie provided daily were thorough and reassuring. I highly recommend Stacie for anyone seeking compassionate and skilled care for their furry family members! Thank you Stacie!”
“Kayan is a perfect furry friend. She went above and beyond my expectation in every way. She was incredibly caring and attentive, and it was clear that she truly loves animals.

“Connie once again was a great, reliable, and responsive sitter for our corgi, Kuma. She shared plenty of updates during his short stay and was very accommodating towards our fluctuating pick-up time range. We really appreciate it, thank you x100! 💖”
“We couldn’t have been more happier and felt at ease leaving our boy Theo behind with Anmol and Abhinav. They treated him just like he was their own and showered him love and pampering from the time we engaged with them to look after Theo. They took care of him for close to 2 weeks and everyday, they kept us updated with detailed Rover cards which had all daily activities mentioned. All our daily curiosity about Theo was well answered with photos and videos. He was treated with lots of walks, play dates with their pet Bella, and fetch sessions which he LOVED! Theo had an episode of sensitive stomach one day, and Anmol took care of him just like her own, cleaning up his mishaps and making him feel better. We felt extremely relieved knowing he was in great hands while we were traveling. Both Anmol and Abhinav are excellent pet parents and Theo will miss visiting them everyday. We can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for alternate pet parents/care takers in Vancouver. Thank you Anmol and Abhinav, we’ll be sure to reach out to you both again for Theo soon.”
“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!”
“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.”
“This is my first time to have a dog sitter to look after my dog, and I'm very happy that I found Mandy and Jacky. They're very nice and professional. They sent me lots of pictures and videos of my dog, so that I know how my dog is doing. I can see that they love dogs from the bottom of their hearts. They're attentive to my dog, making sure he's comfortable and happy. I highly recommend them, and I'll book them again for sure.”
“Nala’s smile says it all. It was her first experience with a dog sitter. George made her feel comfortable with a dog. It took a few mins for her to settle. Thank you for making my girls first experience so wonderful.”
“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!!!”

“Natasha is very knowledgeable about dogs. She made me feel I could trust leaving Lola with her and not be worried, she has two other dogs that got along with Lola very good. She sent me pictures and videos which I loved. When I picked up Lola she was very happy and tired after spend all day with her new friends 😁 I think we just found Lola’s nanny. Thank you Natasha.”
“Gini is great and vey kind and my dog loves her and loves going to her home. That is enough for me to know he enjoys spending time with her and her family . Thanks Gini for taking care of Pinot 🙏🙏🙏”
“Bella is an amazing sitter! She kept me updated the whole time and spoiled Ori with treats. Ori completely adores her, and it's so obvious she has a real love for pets. We'll definitely be back!”
About: I grew up in a pet-loving family and started helping my mom care for dogs when I was around eight years old. After graduating from high school in 2015, I welcomed my very first pet of my own — a beautiful Corgi. He was by my side for 11 years, through university, work, and marriage. No matter how busy life became, I always made time for him — early morning walks, late-night walks, preparing his meals myself, and making sure he felt cared for every day. We traveled together across many places in both China and the United States. From a playful puppy to a senior dog, I learned how to care for him through every stage of life and became attentive not only to his physical needs, but also to his emotions. Because he struggled with sensitive skin and digestive issues, I paid close attention to his diet and daily skin care routine. Earlier this year, cancer took him from my side, but the years we shared taught me something invaluable: love, responsibility, patience, and the importance of giving pets the care and companionship they deserve. I hope to provide every pet with the same level of care, attention, and warmth that I gave my own. I’m currently taking some time at home while doing remote work, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with pets. Aside from occasional social plans on weekends, I’m usually available and can provide lots of companionship and attention. I’m able to take dogs out 3–4 times a day. I live near the Fraser River, where there are long walking trails, open grassy areas, and nearby dog parks — a wonderful place for your pets to stretch their legs, burn energy, and enjoy being outside. I treat every pet as an individual and try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, when they stay at my place. Before each booking, I like to learn about their daily schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, personality, preferences, and any health concerns or special instructions. I understand that every pet has different habits and comfort levels, and I always respect what makes them feel safe and happy. For dogs, I provide regular walks, playtime, companionship, fresh water, and close attention to behavior and mood changes. I’m comfortable following specific feeding instructions and giving extra attention to pets with sensitive digestion or skin care routines, as I have experience caring for my own dog with those needs. My goal is always to help pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with.
About: We’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and have been caring for them for years, both personally and for friends and family. We are proud dog parents to our French Bulldog, Frankie, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. We have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, including those that need extra patience, routine, or a calm environment. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, We always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for like they’re our own. Our schedule is flexible and varies week to week, which allows us to accommodate different types of bookings. On our days off, we have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, or spending quality time with your pet. We are especially available for mornings, evenings, weekdays and weekends, and we are happy to work with you to find a routine that fits your pet’s needs. I prioritize reliability and clear communication so you always know your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before starting. We create a calm, clean, and stress-free environment, whether we are in your home or caring for your pet during a visit. We pay close attention during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure your dog feels secure at all times. We also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I am two dogs parent like you. I totally understand how precious they are. I will take care of them just like you would do. I am a full time house wife. I am available anytime any day for your dog. I wake up 5:30 to take my dog for a walk everyday. I have a small friendly dog who is always waiting for furly friends. We do not have child at home. We have good walking areas around home for potty.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have cared for my own pets for many years, as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I started traveling in 2022, my lifestyle has not allowed me to have a pet of my own, so caring for other people’s pets has become a meaningful way to keep that connection in my life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every pet feel happy and well cared for. I work 100% from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. Because of this, pets are rarely left alone and can receive plenty of supervision, companionship, playtime, and affection as part of my daily routine. For boarding, I offer flexible check-in and check-out times whenever possible. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. Daily walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks are included depending on each pet’s routine and needs. For house visits, I can provide up to two 1-hour visits per day. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in mail while you are away. For house sitting, I take both pet care and home care very seriously. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure pets maintain their normal routines to help them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medication when clear instructions are provided. Before caring for any pet, I always like to learn about their personality, routine, preferences, energy level, health needs, and any special quirks or triggers. I believe understanding each pet individually is the best way to provide loving, responsible, and stress-free care. I believe every pet is unique, so the care I provide always depends on each dog’s individual needs, personality, routine, and the specific instructions given by their owner. I take the time to understand their habits, energy level, preferences, feeding schedule, and any special care requirements to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment both in my home and in my client’s home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also live near a large park where dogs can enjoy walks, explore, play, and safely use their energy while having a fun and enriching time outdoors. Whether a dog is very active or prefers a slower pace, I always adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible and attentive hands.

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.

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'm more than happy to do brief drop-ins for your pup or kitty throughout the day and give them some love and attention before you come home. Let your dog be spoiled by me! =Meet and Greet= Feel free to send me any inquiries and we can set up a meet-and-greet so that we can better cater to you and your pet’s needs. = House Sitting = Please note that I do not offer overnight house sitting but can be in your home with your pet for 8 hours at a time. If you would like more frequent check ins a series of drop ins may be a better option. = Boarding = I can provide potty breaks every 4-8 hours and your dog must be crate trained as that is the safest option for both my personal pets and yours. Rest assured the maximum amount of time they will be crated during the day is 5 hours while I am working. Your pet must be safe around cats as there is one in my home alongside my dog. Note that if you require pick up/drop off a service charge will be added. I'm currently working part-time as I'm a university student so my schedule is flexible so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm very familiar with safe routes for walks in the neighborhood. Client's homes are always respected, and I can easily crate pups who need it. As long as instructions are given, your pet and your home are in safe hands.

About: In addition to loving and training my own dog, I have over a year of experience volunteering to train service dogs. Through the timespan of a couple years my little apartment has seen over 10 dogs in training. I would love to help sit your furbaby too! Can’t wait to meet them!

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.

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.

“Katherine was fantastic. She took our Goldendoodle for daily walks and to dog parks while I was away for 5 days. She made sure to find other dogs for my puppy to play with. Communication was excellent. She kept us informed every day. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Ryan did a great job bonding with our dog, Archie, and took him for a long walk in our neighbourhood. He’s keen, engaging and interested in doing a great job. I highly recommend him.”
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, and curious cats too. 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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, having our first family dog at 8, and second family dog at 15. With both of these dogs, I have contributed to training, walking, feeding, and playing with these two beautiful goldens. With the old guy, I aided him through special senior dog care, where he had arthritis and thus many unique considerations, like helping him walk up stairs. I also have experience abroad helping with my partner’s dogs, and aiding in her own Rover work! I am currently a UBC student who is working on research in the summer. Therefore I can work in a “remote” sense, which can be adapted to dog duties as needed. I am not allowed to keep pets in my apartment, but am excited to assist in any other way I can. I have lots of experience with big energetic dogs, and do not mind them at all.

“It was our first time leaving our dog for 3 days, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to have left her with Connie. Her schedule was followed and she got so much attention, treats, and love, especially during playtime with her dogs, cats, and family! We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Sandra and her family are absolutely lovely! She gave my dog so much love and attention, was great at sending me photos and updates and super quick communication. 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!”
“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.”
“This is the first time my dog Waffle staying with other people. Sara and her family were lovely and took such great care of him during the 9 days staying. Everyday Sara sent me photos and videos, allowing me to fully enjoy my vacation with complete peace of mind. I very appreciated it! Waffle had an absolute happy during his stay. I would not hesitate to leave Waffle with Sara again during our vacations in the future. Thank you so much Sara 👍 ☺️!!!”
“Despite the late hour, thank you so much for responding and helping us on such short notice. Zhikun and his family handled my three dogs calmly and skillfully, making me feel at ease from the very beginning. They took great care of them with regular walks, and on the last day, they even gave them a shower and sent them home with a thoughtful gift, which I truly appreciated. Zhikun also runs a pet shop, which further reassured me of his experience and reliability. I’m very grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend them.”
About: We both grew up in homes full of pets, including dogs and cats, (with Jeannalla growing up with 11 dogs!), so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. Over the years, we’ve looked after different breeds and sizes, which has helped us understand their unique personalities and needs. Our inspiration comes from our own dogs back home, whom we have not brought here yet, so we fill that space by caring for dogs here and treating each one as if they were our own. We are gentle, patient, and genuinely love spending time with them, so we never rush their care and take our time on walks, especially when we know how much they enjoy them! We put our full attention into making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, so you can have peace of mind while they are with us. We love taking LOTS of photos, so we’ll keep you caught up! We are both working professionals, with me on a hybrid setup and Richelle working on-site. On weekends, we are both home, and on weekdays we can still be flexible given the nature of my work. For dog walking and drop-ins, we make it a priority to be on time and fully present with your dog. We do not rush walks and let them move at their own pace, while staying alert to keep everyone safe. We always clean up after them and make sure they are comfortable. We also pay close attention to their behavior and will report anything unusual that could signal health or other concerns.
“Ashleigh took great care of our dog Asha. She offered a meet and greet prior to the boarding, provided updates and photos, and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely reach out again for future needs!”
“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!”
“We’re so grateful for Benjamin and his family! They were amazing with Otto—very communicative, sent regular updates and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Otto clearly had a great time. As a bonus, we had forgotten Otto’s vest and they kindly dropped it off at our home, even though we live quite far. That extra thoughtfulness really stood out. We would highly recommend Benjamin and his family to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters!”
“Dean is an exceptional dog sitter 🩷 Dean was great with my big, high-energy dog & made sure he got lots of playtime and cuddles. He sent me loads of adorable photo updates and I felt totally at ease knowing my doggo was in such caring hands. I’ll be using him again in the future for sure Highly recommend!”
“I left my dog (an Amstaff) with Derek for a week, and I couldn’t be more grateful! He took such great care of her — spending time together, going for walks, playing, and making sure she felt comfortable and safe the whole time. He also sent me regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. Highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a responsible and kind dog sitter. Thank you so much for your help! 🐾”
“Veronica was great at communicating I appreciated the reassurance as I dropped my dog off during a time fireworks were prevalent. She was also very kind and considerate when it came to being flexible with my schedule (flight delays). The reassurance included pictures of my dog which I was happy about.”
“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!”
“Ranah and Franki did an amazing job watching my dog! They sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, brought him along on their outings, and were careful to follow any instructions I had left. I know Fingers had a great time with them and their dog Debu.”
“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!”
“This is the 3rd time Jacky has watched my dog Rosie. He’s great with communication and sending updates. Very accommodating with days and times. Rosie gets along well with his dog Rex and Jacky’s place is great.”
“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.”
“Natasha was SO wonderful! We haven’t left our 8 month old pup with many sitters but trusted Natasha immediately — you can really see how much love, research, care, training and knowledge she’s put into her own sweet dog, and now shares with other owners and the dogs lucky enough to stay with her! She offered so many wonderful tips and was very careful to not reinforce any bad habits our pup has. She gave fantastic updates too. Goose had such a good time playing with his new dog friends that he cried when leaving Natasha’s. I’m sure he can’t wait to be back. Thanks again, Natasha!!”
