“Amanda took very good care of our 3 year old Australian shepherd who had never had a dog sitter before. We went away for the weekend, and was so delighted to hear from her throughout the time we were away- she shared how he was doing and showed photos of him having fun on his doggy walk through Alice Lake. It was really comforting to hear that:) Thomas and Amanda have a very friendly demeanour and enjoy looking after furry friends! I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a reliable and responsible dog sitter.”

She was fantastic at communicating the booking details / requests and kept me updated with photos throughout the time away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most of my life, I have a genuine bond with Animals :). I do have experience with rescued animals, understanding different necessities and expertise. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your dog/cat family member every day of the week.

“Eric and Michaela were absolutely fantastic with Koa! He got plenty of exercise and attention, and we loved receiving daily updates and pictures while we were away. We especially appreciated that they have a dog of their own, so Koa always had a friend to play with, and that the whole family was involved in his care. They were also happy to use the specific training tools and routines that Koa is used to, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely at ease knowing Koa was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Eric and Michaela! 😊🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats and love spending time in their company. I know how important it is to give pets not just care, but love, patience, and attention. I have owned my own dogs and cats and have worked with them professionally too, as a dog aquafit specialist in Vancouver. Now, i work from home in Squamish a few days a week, which means I can offer plenty of company, playtime, walks and snuggles. I also have a toddler who is very respectful of animals and loves being around them. Your pet will always feel safe and comfortable in our home. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’ll treat your furry family member like my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’ve always had animals in my life. I’m used to feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of affection throughout the day. Since I work from home a few days a week, I have the flexibility to provide companionship and regular check-ins. On the days I’m not home full time, I still structure my mornings and evenings around pet care, whether that’s longer walks, cuddle time, or keeping up with their routines. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved by keeping to their normal routines—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet cuddle time. I’m attentive to their needs and always provide plenty of supervision, affection, and stimulation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment. I maintain their regular schedule, give them lots of attention, and provide updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“This was our first ever time using Rover and we were thrilled! We had a relaxing night out and our puppy Fran had an awesome night in. She came home sleepy and happy after am evening hanging with her new pals.”
“Our dog Gus loved this stay with Tessy. He was socialized with other dogs, had plenty of activity and she was so flexible with his drop off and pick up times changing. I actually think this was Gus' favorite dog sitter to date.”
“Raffie had a great stay with Olivier and Marie! Raffie is an older pup, and requires a little more care but Olivier was on top of it. They were quick to respond, sent lots of pictures and flexible when it came to all of Raffie's needs. Highly recommend and looking forward to booking again!”
“We left our Rhodesian Ridgebacks with Dienks for 2 weeks. We were extremely happy with the care he had. He was treated like one of the family, with cuddles in bed, his own place on the sofa and clearly he had built a good connection with her, which we could see on our return. He had multiple walks a day and Dienks was great at keeping in contact, providing updates and photos. She has a beautiful dog of her own which is friendly to other dogs and got on well with our dog Java. Thanks for doing such a good job and allowing us to not spend our time worrying if he was happy and cared for. We would t hesitate to use her again. Thanks”
“Jennifer and David took such wonderful care of Oreo while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. They were so kind and easy to communicate with, and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout our trip. Oreo takes medication every day, and they were very conscientious about keeping up with her routine, which gave us extra peace of mind. It was also so nice to see how much their whole family welcomed Oreo; she got lots of attention and cuddles and clearly made herself right at home! (She especially loved all of Ruby toys.) We came home to a very happy dog. We would definitely have Oreo stay with Jennifer and David again and highly recommend them.”
“We appreciated Michael taking care of Arrow—he was conscientious and detail oriented. Yogi was also a very friendly and relaxed doggy host to our dog. A clean home + good care.”
“Sheryl was fantastic! She took care of our dog so well, and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away! We have already booked her for our next trip and feel confident knowing our dog will be in good hands.”

About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old, and I am no stranger to their kooky ways. I love any cat, even the skittish ones; I have a knack for getting cats to love me. Whether it's a brand new kitten, or a senior cat, I am able to cater to them and their needs. I can keep up with anything from medications to litter boxes, and any of their particular petting needs.
“Pei took wonderful care of Mochi and Chia while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She was so communicative throughout, sending updates and notes from every visit that gave us total peace of mind. What really stood out was how quickly she connected with both cats, even Chia, who tends to be shy around new people. You could tell Pei was genuinely thoughtful and attentive with them, not just checking a box. We came home knowing our girls had been well loved and looked after the whole time. Highly recommend Pei to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares!”
“Necole took great care of our cat. Excellent communication before and while she was caring for our cat. We would highly recommend Necole for the care of your pets.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I don’t have formal training or certifications, but I have years of hands on experience and genuinely love animals. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home. For me, it’s less about simply looking after a pet and more about treating them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time at home with animals, so I’m happy to make time for regular walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of downtime. My schedule can vary from week to week, but I’m hoping to care for pets every now and then when it works well with my schedule. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and give them the attention and care they’re used to. I treat every pet as an individual and do my best to keep them comfortable and close to their normal routine. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routines, while giving them lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and downtime depending on what they enjoy. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I’ll always communicate with the owner and make sure I understand their pet’s needs and preferences before they’re in my care.
About: Raised on a farm, I’ve always been surrounded by animals and have a deep love for caring for them. As a self-taught positive trainer, I’ve helped many friends better understand dog behaviour. I’ve trained puppies and cared for senior dogs. I'm an outdoor enthusiast eager to meet more furry friends! I have a flexible part-time online job, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m available weekdays, weekends, days, and nights, and I’ll happily adapt to your schedule. Your pet's safety and happiness are my priority. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, always on leash. If you'd like, I also have a friendly, well‑trained dog who would love to play with your pups!
“Cindy took great care of our cat, Baker, while we were away for 10 days. She sent us a lot of updates along with pictures & videos, which reassured us a lot. We came back home to a very happy cat (and clean home) :) We'd recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter!”
About: We are an active couple with experience caring for a wide range of dogs, primarily medium to large breeds. We’re comfortable with multiple dogs, high-energy dogs, dogs in heat, and pets with medications or specific dietary needs. Living in Squamish, we love spending time outdoors and enjoy taking dogs on long walks, hikes, and adventures. Our flexible schedules allow us to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. We take a patient, calm, and positive approach to pet care, focusing on trust, consistency, and making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Pet care fits very naturally into our routine. Amanda works just five minutes from home, allowing for regular check-ins throughout the day, while Drew is building his company remotely and has the flexibility to work from home. Safety is our priority. We pay close attention to traffic, wildlife, other dogs, and each dog's comfort level when we're out walking or exploring. Off-leash time is only done with the owner's permission and when it's appropriate for the dog's environment. Trust comes from following your instructions and putting your dog's needs first. We take the time to understand each dog's routine and personality so we can provide consistent care. Our goal is to make dogs feel relaxed, loved, and at home by maintaining their usual routines and providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care in a clean and comfortable environment.
About: Hi! I'm 30 years old, I'm located in Squamish. I've been dog-sitting various sizes of dogs from my neighbor for the past 5 years. I have experience volunteering at the SPCA for over 4 years.

About: Occasional dog walking and pet sitting for friends and privately over last 3 years. Great reccomendation and flexible schedule to take best care of your best pal! I am available freely on Fridays, evenings and weekends. I have a flexible work schedule and can get that long walk in before work and be back for a pre break 6-8hours later! I care for a client's home better than my own! Respectful, tidy and happy to follow your pets usual routine! Prefer to meet in your house and do a walk before agreeing to a sit to ensure best match and ability to mirror any training or commands where possible!
About: I am 30 years old and live in Squamish full time. With 6 years of experience pet/house sitting in the Sea to Sky, I have developed strong relationships with many dog & cat parents. I miss having a dog of my own, so caring for local pets brings me so much joy. I grew up caring for neighbourhood dogs, volunteering at the SPCA and assisting at vet clinics. This experience in animal care exposed me to dogs with challenging behaviours and taught me what’s needed to keep your dog happy and healthy. I am also very active, and would love to take your dog on runs and trail walks. I am willing to adapt to different pet routines and keep your animal company with house sitting services. I love incorporating training techniques and mental stimulation into your dogs care. I am open to caring for all breeds and sizes as well. I am very organized and responsible as a service provider. Walking, playing with and spending time with your dog are my top priorities! I work from home which allows for flexible time to care for your pet(s) and go for mid-day walks. I am happy to provide 2+ walks a day for active dogs. I will not be able to provide care in my own home, but would be happy to do home visits or housesit while you are away, in addition to daily walks.
“10/10 across the board. Very quick and responsive to set up the service and immediately felt comfortable in the meet and greet, as did my animals! Communicated very well and followed all instructions to a T. Will definitely be contacting Sierra again.”
“Ella was excellent! We immediately got good vibes upon meeting and the vibes followed through to excellent care and communication with daily drop in visits for our cat. All instructions followed exactly. Prompt responses to messages. Daily updates with photos when able. Our cat is usually very scared and hide away but he actually stayed out to interact with her which is major and shows a lot!!! Would have no hesitation booking Ella again and hope to do so.”
About: I have plenty of life experience for my age and love to spend my free time surrounded by animals! Taking care of animals is a passion I plan to make a bigger in my life as I get older:) I am very active in the outdoors and love having a campaign with me to enjoy the nature! I work full time and do my best to spend as much time in nature and love going on hikes. My weekly schedule is very reliable and with the right animals it can be more full! I am a very loving person and would treat a clients home just as my own if not better. I would expect only kindness and will do my best in return.

“We were visiting the area and had a few non-dog-friendly activities planned for the day, so we had to board our 9.5 year old pup for a few hours. Vanessa took great care of Frisko. He warmed up instantly to her when we met and looked calm and relaxed when we picked him up. She was also really flexible with schedule.”

“Jordan and Riley watched my pup for a day and were great! They were super easy to communicate with, sent plenty of updates throughout the day and were helpful and flexible with some time change we had to make last minute. My dog seemed to connect with them right away and very happy playing in thei yard. I definitely hope to use their help again soon. Thanks a lot ! 🌻”
“This was my puppy's second time with Lauren and I think he had a great time. Lauren has a new puppy herself and the two puppies got along great, had some good playtime, and side-by-side walks. Lauren was super easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. Her care for dogs is clear and much appreciated.”
“Sierra was so lovely! Our dog doesn’t always take to people immediately but sierra was so calm and wonderful with her! She listened to Indi’s cues to make her feel safe and comfortable. Sierra was on time and had great communication! Thanks so much!”

“Stephen & Emma were very lovely! We arranged a Meet & Greet a few days ahead of time to go over all Dosa logistics, which I really appreciated. Drop-off was smooth; both humans were very punctual and communicative. Dosa clearly had a fun time - he didn’t even notice when I showed up! Would definitely book with Stephen and Emma again (probably very soon).”

About: 🐶 What Sets Me Apart & My Experience: Hi there! If you're looking for care that goes above and beyond standard sitting, with less stress and more structure than a commercial doggie daycare - I combine structured daily routines and walks, individualized brain games and enrichment, and experienced, skill-based handling for every type of personality - to give your dog an individualized, fulfilling and professional daycare experience in the comfort of a home setting. 🌟 Why Choose Me? * Flexible, On-Site Presence: Working from home means that I can give your pup constant supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. * Structured Daily Enrichment: Every daycare guest receives a minimum 1-hour walk/hike and 30 minutes of daily brain games and enrichment activities—plus a summary report and pictures/videos of the day’s activities! * Hands-On Sport & Skills Training: I personally own two small-medium rescue dogs from Mexico who I actively train in several dog sports, as well as to be everyday solid citizens. I bring that same enthusiasm and deep understanding of canine learning to provide individualized care to every daycare guest. * Active Dog Sports & Continuing Education: I regularly take dog sports classes under instructors across the Lower Mainland and dedicate personal time to studying canine behaviour, reinforcement-based training modalities, canine nutrition, and species-specific enrichment. * Tractive GPS Tracked for Peace of Mind: Safety is my top priority. All daycare guests are fitted with an active Tractive GPS tracker during outings, giving you complete peace of mind that extra precautions are always in place. * Add-On Training Services: Looking to brush up on manners or address specific behaviours? This is something we can tackle together for an additional fee! Example behaviours I can strengthen during daycare hours include: recall training, crate/settle training, loose leash walking, confidence building, impulse control, moderate separation anxiety, environmental desensitization, cooperative care, muzzle conditioning, dog sports foundations and more. 🐕 Animal Care Background & Specialized Experience I have 5 recent years of dedicated experience in canine care, supplemented by a 15-year background in the equine industry—including experience as a farmhand, handling performance horses, and farm sitting. Handling large, high-drive animals built my strong foundation in animal body language, safety, and calm, confident handling. My hands-on canine experience covers a wide range of care settings: * Reactive & Quirky Dogs: Experienced in reactivity, trigger management, defensive handling for reactive or fearful dogs, and navigating unique behavioural quirks. I offer safe, low-stress environments tailored to your dog’s comfort level and individual needs. * Group & Private Walks: Skilled in leash handling, walking multiple dogs on leash, off leash group walks of up to 10 dogs, skills-focused training walks, and solo decompression walks. * Multi-Dog Households & Daycare: Experienced in managing multi-dog dynamics, ensuring respectful social etiquette, safe mutual play, and proper rest. * Confidence-Building: Having successfully rehabilitated my own two cautious, fearful, and reactive rescue dogs, I have hands-on experience building agency, problem-solving skills, and optimism in dogs who may feel overwhelmed by the world around them. * Overnight Boarding: I am currently closed to general overnight boarding, but I am open to accommodating occasional boarding requests for regular, recurring daycare clients—schedule permitting. I am currently completing my MBA with plans to pursue professional dog training after graduating—so caring for, understanding, and enriching animals is truly my passion and craft! 📅 Daily & Weekly Schedule Caring for dogs is fully integrated into my daily routine. My schedule is built around a predictable rhythm of exercise, mental stimulation, and dedicated downtime to keep dogs calm, fulfilled, and well-rested. 🕒 Sample Daily Flow 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM | Start Work Day My dogs sleep in while I start my work day. 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM | Daycare Pick Up and/or Morning Potty Break A calm start to the day with a stretch and potty break in the yard. Where applicable, daycare guests and I may go out for a 15 to 30-minute leashed walk in the neighbourhood. 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM | Morning Enrichment & Skill Training I feed my dogs and daycare guests their breakfast through a structured training session and/or food puzzles. Training activities typically include canine conditioning, tricks/skills training and problem-solving games. 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Potty Break & Structured Morning Rest Back out to the yard for a quick break, followed by dedicated quiet downtime so dogs can settle and recharge after morning activities. 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Mid-Day Enrichment & Potty Break A quick brain-game session during lunch breaks can feature any combination of scent work, targeted skills training, playtime, and/or nutritional enrichment (puzzle toys, Toppls, LickiMats, or chews). 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM | Afternoon Down Time All dogs settle in for an afternoon snooze while I lock in to finish my work day. 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM | Main Exercise (Walk or Hike) The primary outdoor adventure of the day! Every daycare guest gets a minimum 1-hour trail hike or walk, on or off leash, to explore and burn energy. This can take place with, or without, my personal dogs - depending on your dog's individual walking needs. 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM | Daycare Drop-off and/or Post-Hike Decompression & Rest Relaxation time to unwind after physical exercise before heading home or wrapping up the evening. 💡 Why Owners Love This Routine: * Balanced Energy & Recovery: Alternating physical activity and mental exercises with forced rest prevents over-arousal and keeps dogs in a calm, confident state of mind. * Continuous Supervision: Working from home allows for constant safety monitoring, custom potty routines, and smooth transition management throughout the day. 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Safety and clear management are the absolute top priorities in my home. I approach environment management with proactive structure, safe handling, and strict safety measures. 🏡 Environment & Setup in My Home * Dedicated Management & Containment: My home is set up to safely manage multi-dog dynamics. We use baby gates, crates and room separations to ensure safe, supervised interactions, peaceful meal times, and stress-free rest periods. * Secure Outdoor Space: Outdoor time in the yard is always supervised to prevent escape attempts, over-arousal, or fence-line frustration. 🔒 Safety Protocols & Handling * Proactive Trigger Management: When out on walks or hikes, I maintain strict situational awareness. I give reactive or sensitive dogs plenty of distance from potential triggers (other dogs, bikes, wildlife) and can manage stressful moments using positive reinforcement and defensive handling skills. * Separated Feeding & High-Value Items: Food, high-value toys, and chews are always given separately to prevent resource guarding and ensure every dog feels completely relaxed while enjoying their treat. * Emergency Preparedness: I keep a comprehensive pet first-aid kit on hand (I was previously certified in Pet First Aid in June 2022), maintain quick access to local emergency veterinary clinics, and always keep owner and vet emergency contacts readily available.

We sadly lost our cat after 12 years and are looking to have more animals in our life. This isn't about money for us. We truly want to love your pet while you are away. My husband and I both work from home with flexible job hours. We can accommodate your pet's schedule to make sure they're most comfortable while you are away. One of us creates a lot of content (pics, videos, sharing) and would happily send you regular updates. We have a large fenced yard and trail access in walking distance from our house (no need to drive somewhere for your dog to get nature). We're in Brackendale. We're comfortable with crates or giving them free run of our house hold.

“Thank you so much! We truly appreciated everything. You were punctual, quick to respond, and the photos you sent were amazing. Most importantly, our dog Clermont had such a wonderful time with you! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, growing up with a Border Collie and a German Shepherd/Lab mix rescue. Marie, my partner, and I have lived with cats and often dog-sit for friends. We love spending time with animals and will treat your pet like family! I’m working half the time from home so may be available during daytime for some days. I enjoy mountain biking and skiing on weekends, but I adapt my schedule depending if I’m pet sitting or not. If your dog is mountain biking training, I don’t mind taking it out on the trails! I live close to quiet streets, a dog park and the estuary so I have a lot of options for the walks with your pet. I live in a 600sqft condo on the 4th floor, but it is next to quiet streets and trailheads for easy walks. I don’t have any kids and live with my partner that is also a pet lover, who has had a cat in the past. We have dog sit anxious dogs so we are used to care for them. When we dog sit our friends pets, we often send pictures and updates about their furry friends to update them on how it’s going.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my house since the day I was born. I started dog walking at the age of eleven and have been helping out with friends, family and neighbours pets ever since. In 2018 I officially opened my company offering off leash pack walks as well as drop ins for cats and seniors! Since closing my dog walking company in January of 2025 I’ve been focusing on private walks and drop ins. This has freed up a lot of time so I am now able to offer walks during the mornings and early afternoons as well. I make sure all dogs are leashed prior to taking them out to assure their safety and I build trust through patience and yummy snacks!
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your four-legged family member. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits. Whether your dog needs a good outdoor adventure, a leisurely sniff-and-stroll, a potty break, or simply some companionship and affection while you’re away, I can help. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little more patience and a gentler pace. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with health conditions and have experience administering medications and injections, as well as supporting dogs who experience significant anxiety. I believe every dog is an individual, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routines and comfort level. Some dogs are ready to head straight out on an adventure, while others need a slower approach and time to build trust. I’m happy to meet them where they are. My schedule is currently quite flexible, and I spend much of my time outdoors and volunteering with horses at a local rescue. I love being outside, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy- whether we’re stretching those doggy legs, exploring a favourite trail or simply taking time to stop and sniff along the way. I’d love to learn more about your dog and how I can help you feel confident that they’re receiving attentive, dependable and loving care while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to offer dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I spend a lot of my time outdoors and also volunteer with horses at a local rescue, so caring for animals and being outside are already a natural part of my daily life. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog and respecting your home. During drop-in visits, I’ll follow your dog’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, medications if required, potty breaks, playtime and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to send you updates and photos so you know how your dog is doing.
About: Hi! I'm 30 years old, I'm located in Squamish. I've been dog-sitting various sizes of dogs from my neighbor for the past 5 years. I have experience volunteering at the SPCA for over 4 years. I'm a really active person, and I'm comfortable taking multiple dogs on long walks. I have experience walking up to five medium-large dogs at the same time. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for reading! Monika I'm currently self-employed, and my schedule varies day by day. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can normally make time in my day to take care of your pets. The animal will be on a leash at all times unless the yard is fully fenced in. Will follow any direction given by the owner.
“Jordan and RIley were great to communicate with and responsive to our dog’s specific needs. They also kept us updated with great pictures of VInny and Luisa! I would recommend them, and I will book with them in the future.”
“Cindy has taken care of our pup Jake a few times. Both on walks and house-sitting. She is a very good communicator and great with our dog and left our house well care for when she stayed here. We recommend Cindy 😊”
About: Dogs have been a constant love of my life but a career built around travel meant I couldn't have one of my own. So I found the next best thing: caring for other people's dogs when they can’t. That's taken me from simultaneously managing eight dogs for a couple in Hungary, to looking after a hostel's resident dog during a year living in Sri Lanka — and many happy dogs in between. Back home in Squamish, I've sat for dogs ranging from 3-month-old puppies to an 18-year-old tripod senior, and I currently do enriched walks and sitting with a local pet care company. Whether it's a bouncy pup or a gentle old soul, I bring the same patience and genuine enthusiasm. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand that they need extra patience, awareness, and a calm handler. Your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be loved. Working from home on a flexible schedule makes me able to take breaks at any time. I can go for walks or breaks throughout the day. While getting to know eachother, I prefer to keep the dog on leash or in a fenced area. I follow the owners guidelines for what works for their dog an what is within their comfort zone.
“I’ve been using Rover for a year and a half and Fiona has been the best dog walker by far. Her communication and care for the details was immediately apparent and I felt very safe in putting my little girl in her hands.”

“Amanda and Drew were amazing with our dog Santo. We left santo with them for the weekend and they were very communicative and took great care of him while we were gone. We highly recommend them!!!”
“Amanda took very good care of our 3 year old Australian shepherd who had never had a dog sitter before. We went away for the weekend, and was so delighted to hear from her throughout the time we were away- she shared how he was doing and showed photos of him having fun on his doggy walk through Alice Lake. It was really comforting to hear that:) Thomas and Amanda have a very friendly demeanour and enjoy looking after furry friends! I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a reliable and responsible dog sitter.”
“Linley took such incredible care of my female Samoyed. I needed care for 4 days and felt completely at ease the moment I connected with her. She was fantastic at communicating the booking details / requests and kept me updated with photos throughout the time away. She look my pup on many walks and even treated her to a puppy doughnut at Fox & Oak. It was a great experience and I highly recommend her services! I will definitely be rebooking her for future boarding needs.”
“Jordan and Riley are amazing sitters for big and small dogs. They are super accommodating and send lots of great updates. They treated our pup as if she was theirs. She loved them! We cant wait to be back, would highly recommend”
“Eric and Michaela were absolutely fantastic with Koa! He got plenty of exercise and attention, and we loved receiving daily updates and pictures while we were away. We especially appreciated that they have a dog of their own, so Koa always had a friend to play with, and that the whole family was involved in his care. They were also happy to use the specific training tools and routines that Koa is used to, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely at ease knowing Koa was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Eric and Michaela! 😊🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats and love spending time in their company. I know how important it is to give pets not just care, but love, patience, and attention. I have owned my own dogs and cats and have worked with them professionally too, as a dog aquafit specialist in Vancouver. Now, i work from home in Squamish a few days a week, which means I can offer plenty of company, playtime, walks and snuggles. I also have a toddler who is very respectful of animals and loves being around them. Your pet will always feel safe and comfortable in our home. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’ll treat your furry family member like my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’ve always had animals in my life. I’m used to feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of affection throughout the day. Since I work from home a few days a week, I have the flexibility to provide companionship and regular check-ins. On the days I’m not home full time, I still structure my mornings and evenings around pet care, whether that’s longer walks, cuddle time, or keeping up with their routines. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved by keeping to their normal routines—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet cuddle time. I’m attentive to their needs and always provide plenty of supervision, affection, and stimulation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment. I maintain their regular schedule, give them lots of attention, and provide updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“This was our first ever time using Rover and we were thrilled! We had a relaxing night out and our puppy Fran had an awesome night in. She came home sleepy and happy after am evening hanging with her new pals.”
“Our dog Gus loved this stay with Tessy. He was socialized with other dogs, had plenty of activity and she was so flexible with his drop off and pick up times changing. I actually think this was Gus' favorite dog sitter to date.”
“Raffie had a great stay with Olivier and Marie! Raffie is an older pup, and requires a little more care but Olivier was on top of it. They were quick to respond, sent lots of pictures and flexible when it came to all of Raffie's needs. Highly recommend and looking forward to booking again!”
“We left our Rhodesian Ridgebacks with Dienks for 2 weeks. We were extremely happy with the care he had. He was treated like one of the family, with cuddles in bed, his own place on the sofa and clearly he had built a good connection with her, which we could see on our return. He had multiple walks a day and Dienks was great at keeping in contact, providing updates and photos. She has a beautiful dog of her own which is friendly to other dogs and got on well with our dog Java. Thanks for doing such a good job and allowing us to not spend our time worrying if he was happy and cared for. We would t hesitate to use her again. Thanks”
“Vanessa is truly the best. She went above and beyond when Gryphon stayed with her for 10 days. She was quick with updates and responses to questions, and very loving towards Gryphon. He trusted her immediately! Thanks Vanessa for taking such good care of Gryph!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable pet caregiver based in Squamish who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I provide dog daycare and boarding in a safe, caring environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise and companionship. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs, from energetic pups who love outdoor adventures to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace, medication routines or a little extra reassurance. Because I work flexibly, I’m able to spend much of the day with the dogs in my care rather than leaving them alone. I work flexibly as a freelance consultant, which means I can usually structure my day around the pets I’m caring for rather than the other way around. I’m usually home during the day for company, walks, feeding routines and playtime, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in an apartment but ensure frequent potty breaks and provide a calm, supervised environment.
“Jessica was incredibly caring, patient, and understanding with our shy dog, Sawyer. She knew exactly how to help him feel comfortable and at home during his overnight stay. Sawyer got lots of exercise, had a great time playing, and came home happy and relaxed. Jessica also sent us photos and updates throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!”
“Our fur boy runs with joy to these two when we drop him off. So lovely to know he enjoys himself when we are away. They are his second family, without a doubt.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience for Paco! This was his first time ever being away from us for 3 nights, and Lara made the entire experience so much easier. Paco was happy, well cared for, and absolutely loved his walks. One thing that meant a lot to us was knowing that Lara let Paco cuddle up with her at night, helping him feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Lara was also very accommodating when we wanted to visit him and take him out for a few hours during his stay. We’re so grateful for the love, care, and attention Lara gave Paco. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
