“Shari and Richard were so kind and welcoming to our pup, Charlie, who can be very nervous. They are very experienced with dogs and made sure ours was comfortable, letting her adjust at her own pace. We got regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Charlie loved their outdoor space and had a great time running around. We would not hesitate to come back 🐾”
“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“Connie was a true professional going above. Her meet and greet was truly extra! We felt safe leaving our post surgery dog with Connie. She also didn’t send our loved one to the pound when we were late picking up her up!! Much appreciated!! Highly recommend Connie to others.”
“We had the best experience with Walter and Angela! I was so nervous dropping my boxer off for a week but within minutes of meeting them both I felt so comfortable. My dog was clearly loved while I was away and had lots of attention. I also received picture updates which was amazing. I will be using Walter and Angela again without a question.”
“We had a great experience with Randona. She took care of Nala very well. She was very prompt in her response and shared regular updates with pictures and videos. She took Nala for long walks and has a very good dog park nearby, which is very helpful. We were initially anxious as Nala had never stayed with cats, but, she was perfectly fine :). Highly recommended !”
“Zohreh was fantastic, she sent lots of pictures and updates, took him on lots of walks and he quite enjoyed sun tanning in her backyard. I also love that she’s a vet tech, should anything go sideways while he’s with her. I would absolutely recommend Zohreh!”
“Heather is kind and knowledgable and welcomed our pup into her home happily. Communication was great and I enjoyed all the little updates and photos. Thank you Heather!”
About: Hi, I’m Robin! Lover of all animals and will treat your dog like a member of our family! I had cats and fish growing up and then moved on to dogs! I have 10 years of hands‑on experience raising my Boston Terrier from birth and caring for her through every stage of life, including her final battle with cancer. She taught me to be patient, playful, attentive, and deeply affectionate with every dog I meet. I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of my friends and family’s dogs, and know how hard it can be to be away from your little fur babies but also at the same time be able to enjoy some alone time. As a homemaker, I’m home all day, and ready to step in and be a welcoming, affectionate and safe provider when you’re away! Your dog will get ample time to play, walk or hike ( depending on your dogs abilities) relax, snooze, and of course, eat! We have a fenced in back yard, where they’ll be able to do their “business” whenever they need and a few parks within walking distance for some leisure time. I also have experience administering oral and eye medication. Being a homemaker, mom to a 19 yr old, and having no more of our own pets, your dog will be getting plenty of time, love & attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband works from home and loves spending time with dogs too, so your pup will always have company. I live in a townhouse where your dog will never be far from my sight, not that many places to go lol. I live in a quiet neighborhood, where our backyard is fenced and not easily accessible to public. We have carpeted stairs making it easier to get up and down and a large carpet in the living room for them to roll around and scratch their backs!
“We loved all of the effort and kindness April and Greg showed to Buddy while he was over there. Buddy was argumentative on his walks, wanting to walk further then they intended to go. But they went which we love!! Buddy even said goodbye to them before we left which shows us he bonded with them l! We couldnt be happier with April and Greg and look forward to bringing Buddy over there again.!”
“Liz was very friendly and communicative, and she looked after Ronin so well, and sent me tons of pictures and updates! Which was amazing, no one has made me feel like my dog was so well looked after before! Ronin seemed to have a great time and he was not anxious at all when I picked him up, which is so rare for him. I will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
“Denise and Paul are wonderful! They are kind, compassionate, true dog lovers! I so appreciated the photos and videos that they sent me. Jasper really enjoyed his weekend with them.”
“So glad we found Chelsea on Rover. She was able to provide excellent care for our 10mon old pup that is fearful of new people. Most Kennels won't accept him. By the end of three days her calm and friendly demeanor rubbed off on him and they were friends. We love the photo update with happy puppy faces. We are grateful for the flexibility in time pick up and the last minute add on of our second dog.”
“The care that Nix provided for my one year old dog Roxy was top notch. She is knowledgeable about dogs and their nutrition, and also very passionate too. The communication between us was amazing - several updates and photos every day! Nix handled an unexpected overnight accident very well, and followed up with dog friendly food remedies to settle my dog’s stomach issues. When I came to pick up Roxy, she even had some homemade treats to send her home with! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Daisy and Paul are the absolute best! Leaving our dogs in someone else's care can be nerve-wracking, but with Daisy and Paul, we couldn't have more peace of mind. They truly go above and beyond to ensure our furry family members are happy, loved, and well taken care of. It's clear they have a genuine passion for what they do, and it shows in every detail. We are so, so grateful to have found them! Knowing our dogs are in such caring and capable hands makes all the difference. Thank you both for everything – you're amazing! Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving dog sitters.”
“I was worried about finding a sitter for our slightly anxious 6 month young puppy Misa, just a few days before a long weekend trip. I messaged Ran and she suggested a meet-and-greet at a park, which I appreciated. While we were away, Ran sent regular updates and photos of Misa which was very reassuring since this is the first time we’ve left her for an extended amount of time. It was clear that Misa was being well taken care of and had fun going on walks and playing with the family and their small dog. I would highly recommend Ran to anyone looking for great comfort, care, and patience for their fur baby!”
About: Hello! My name is Shadnay, and I’d love to experience this journey with you and your pup :) *NEW* CLIENT BOOKING GUIDELINES :) Daycare & boarding: Dogs must be around 30 pounds each to abide within strata by-laws! Rover doesn’t have these measurements for me to select prior to your search. There is some wiggle room on this considering height and hair volume, feel free to ask me about specifics! General booking guidelines: - if the pet profile questions haven’t been filled out, please send your booking request with a detailed message of what your pet(s) need - so we can figure out quicker if we are a good fit for the booking slot. About me: I have a clear understanding that every furry friend has their own uniqueness in temperament, triggers, and needs. My joy comes from learning them and providing the best care possible. I specialize in anxious & reactive dogs Including breeds and rescues who are still learning to navigate the world around them. My goal is to build their confidence in a safe and encouraging environment. All other temperaments are welcome, and loved just the same. Before finding Rover, I was successfully employed at various reputable Dog Daycare, and boarding facilities in Coquitlam and Port Moody where I started my training. From leading a pack of 80 dogs in an indoor and outdoor setting, to working with dogs who need individual attention. I’ve also worked with a private company based in Vancouver, demonstrating pack walks in off leash trails, and training under K-9 professionals during private walks with highly anxious/reactive dogs. A force free & positive reinforcement approach. A few weeks of customized care and attention will improve your dogs overall temperament and quality of life – feel free to reach out and discuss the specifics! I'm currently dedicated to taking care of dogs full-time, so they will get all my attention! My only other priorities during the week/weekend are my personal self-care appointments which allow me to show up fully for the pups, with my cup full! Each dog will have their own unique needs, and I spend a lot of time speaking with the parents to make sure those needs are met while they are away.

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for cats of all personalities and breeds, from Siamese to orange tabbies, long-haired cats, and everything in between. I have hands-on experience with cats who require special diets and food restrictions, as well as those with medical needs such as asthma. I’ve also cared for senior cats who need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I understand how sensitive cats can be to change, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — the same level of care I expect for my own cats.
“Randona was so engaged with Romi, keeping me informed and sending beautiful pictures and videos! She was punctual and courteous, paying special attention to our new 10 week old kitten. Her report was very thorough. Would highly recommend!”
“Dominique provided drop in visits for our cat while we were away and we would definitely recommend her. She is reliable, quick to respond, and respected our cat’s needs.”
About: I have a deep love for animals and for treating them with love and respect. I am patient, kind, and fun. Growing up, we had many kittens and puppies that we raised and nurtured to be fine adult cats and dogs. I’m currently transitioning from a high pressure corporate career to a more relaxed and peaceful phase and have lots of time available for pet sitting, walking and checking in. I’m available most days and evenings, including weekends. I can care for pets in their homes, I am conscientious of what pet parents require. I appreciate clear communication. I’m also happy to care for elderly pets or those who require special attention.
“Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter. She did an incredible job looking after our cats. She gave each of them individualized attention, treats, and playtime. She also sent lots of photos which put our mind at ease while we were traveling. I recommend Sarah without hesitation.”
“We are very happy with Natalie’s help and the care she provided for our three cats. They are not very social, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. We will definitely continue to request Natalie’s services and highly recommend her to all pet owners!”
“I recently booked Darlee to care for my newly diagnosed diabetic cat, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She showed genuine care and took the time to understand my cat's specific needs, including monitoring her insulin levels and diet. Her patience and experience with pets, especially those with medical conditions, were evident. Darlee provided regular updates, ensuring I was informed about my cat's well-being. Both me and my husband highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thank you, Darlee for your outstanding care!”
“Hilary eased my stress of leaving my fur babies while I had to leave on a work trip. She sent me photos each day and notes to ensure all their needs were met. She listened to all instructions and made sure to communicate with me. Very kind and trustworthy. I will be using her again for any future babysitting .”
“Finn took great care of my cat Root and was incredibly attentive throughout the stay. He kept very detailed updates and records, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Root clearly liked him and was very comfortable around him. I really appreciated all the care and attention he gave her, and I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Great experience! Merran was reliable, communicative, and very accommodating. She gave Lucy her medication, kept me updated, and was very kind throughout the booking. Lucy seemed very comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with her again.”
“This was my first time using rover & leaving my babies in the care of anyone other than close friends or family. Trish made me feel at ease with her kind care, close attention, and thorough communication. My Henry is anxious with strangers but he quickly warmed up to Trish. Super happy and will book with Trish when she’s available!”
“It’s our first time to use a cat sitter when we were away. Ran absolutely did a great job taking care of our fur babies. She is genuinely kind and gentle with the cats. She gave us daily updates such as videos, photos and messages. That put our mind at ease knowing our fur babies are well taken care of. Once Tiger didn’t come downstairs. Ran said she would call her. She did and Tiger went downstairs and did a rollover for her. We found that so cute!😻😻 Will highly recommend Ran for anyone who is looking for a responsible cat sitter, and we will definitely have Ran as our cat sitter next time.”
About: I am a reliable and caring dog owner and dog lover. Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted a dog. I would constantly look after my parents friends dogs and walk dogs in the neighbourhood to get my dog "fix". No matter the weather I was always excited to walk the dogs and make them happy. I would run with them, play fetch, and make sure the dogs were getting challenged mentally. I have been looking after other peoples dogs for about 10 years and got my own dog about 4 years ago. While looking after your family member, I will give them everything they need. I will make sure they are getting enough exercise and attention. I will not leave them alone for more than a couple of hours as it is important for me to gain their respect. I can't do this if I am out of the house. I want your dog to feel as comfortable with me as they do with you.

“As first time users of Rover, we were pleased that Deborah and Mark immediately accepted our request to take care of Harper, our Golden Retriever, in their home for four hours while we attended a family event. Harper settled right away in their home and fenced backyard, and we felt comfortable leaving him in their care. We were pleased with photos they sent to us during his stay. We would gladly rebook with Deborah & Mark in the future and recommend them to others.”
“So happy to have found Shadnay. She has experience with anxious dogs and my little Mr. Anxiety was well cared for. Thank you so much for keeping him safe and happy.”
“Thank you so much Heather for taking such good care of Mia! She has a separation anxiety and I had to leave her at someone's place for the first time. I was worried but she told me 'Dont say goodbye and just leave normally. She will be fine.' and I knew she was in a good hand. She looked after my dog so well throughout the day. My dog can also be anxious around other dogs but her pup also knew it and kept a comfortable distance for Mia while still very friendly to her. She also communicated well with me with photos and updates which I appreciate. I highly recommend her for any dogs that requires loving warm place to stay!”
“Our dog usually does not get along with other dogs however Snowy seems to know how to socialize with my dog! And of course Snowy’s owner, Lu, is very reliable and responsible person!”

About: I work in an animal hospital and have hands-on experience with pets of all ages, including senior and anxious animals. I’m comfortable giving medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and providing calm, gentle care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and ability to understand each pet’s needs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety and comfort 💛 I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. Right now, I’m available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays 🐾 If you let me know 1–2 weeks in advance, I’m happy to adjust my schedule and open up more days! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. I always follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible; including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets are never left unattended for long periods and always keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. With my experience working in an animal hospital, I’m confident in recognizing any signs of stress or illness early and responding appropriately. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and keep everything clean, safe, and exactly as you left it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away 💛
“We were very happy with twinkle and her day care. She made us feel comfortable as soon as we met her and we can tell she loves dogs. She was attentive, loving and patient with Coco. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the evening which were just so sweet and helpful. Coco felt very comfortable with her in a fee minutes. I will definitely come back as a regular and I highly recommend anyone who is considering a pup home away from home.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child ( Corgi, Golden Retriever, kangal) and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and working/ volunteering over the years. My availability is 8 am to 6 pm every week. For those pets who boarding in my house, most of time they will be playing with us and they go out and play for half hour every 3 hours. I live in a single house with fenced yard with my wife and my daughter, very loving family, no smoking or vaping or anything that could be harmful to health in the house. I am part time dog care attendant and my wife is a groomer with experience over 10+ years. This is the home you can trust.
About: I worked at animal emerge clinic of the Fraser Valley for almost 4 years and I love taking care of animals and giving them the love that they deserve. I can be pretty flexible but I am a dancer and this is what my schedule is like for right now Sundays 5:00pm-9:00pm, Wednesday 6:30-9:30pm, Thursdays 3:30, 5:00pm and Fridays 7:00pm-10pm. I can be pretty flexible and whatever your needs are for your pets. I will always do my best to make sure your dog is looked after.
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with dogs, horses, bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters, so understanding animal behavior and care has always come naturally to me. I have a ton of patience, attentiveness, and ability to build trust with animals quickly. I also personally trained my own family dogs (golden retriever and American Eskimo Spitz), which gave me experience with reinforcing good behaviours, maintaining routines, leash walking, crate training, and understanding the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I genuinely take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and anxious, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most relaxed. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets in my care get lots of supervision, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and attention, not just quick check-ins. I treat every animal like they’re part of the family and care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own pets. I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home as a university student currently off for the summer. This allows me to provide pets with lots of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available for daytime care and overnight boarding, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have years of experience caring for animals, not only my own pets, but also pet sitting and caring for the pets of friends, family and clients over the years. I have looked after animals with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are when caring for someone’s pet. I live in a clean, pet-friendly townhouse with a front yard, and pets in my care are welcome to freely roam around the home and make themselves comfortable. They are absolutely allowed on the furniture because I want them to feel as relaxed, loved, and at home as possible during their stay. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive lots of supervision, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I am also a very active and routine-oriented person, so walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime are always kept consistent and reliable. Since I already enjoy going on walks daily myself, your dog will get plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and stimulation. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level to help them feel safe and stress-free while away from home. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I will make sure they receive patient, loving, and attentive care every step of the way. For daycare and overnight boarding, I ask owners to provide food, treats, leash/harness, medications (if needed), and any comfort items like toys or blankets to help their pets settle in comfortably.
“Connie thx for taking such good care of Missy. She knew where she was going once we got to your corner. She was smelling and waging, so excited. I always feel she is safe and happy there. Thx for your reliability.”
“My puppy is plum worn out which is exactly what you want after a day at daycare. Randona and Marcus are lovely people and I felt totally comfortable leaving my puppy with them.”
“Riya and Apoorav are a lovely couple. They provided a nice and comfortable space for my dog to relax. I felt my dog was in good hands. Will be booking with them again. Thanks!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my dog again, being accommodating of my schedule and catering to her needs. Catherine's place is a wonderful comfortable home and I recommend highly. Thanks again!”
“Amazing fur babysitter. Took such good care of our little monster . He had too much fun he went to bed right away when coming home. Communicate and update was amazing as well.”
“Wei and Long are most thoughtful, kind, playful (from a puppy view) pet caregivers! Such a relief having my happy, boisterous maltese terrier in a safe, loving home on my all-day meeting days. Grateful thanks from Lizzy’s and I”
“Hawk had a fantastic time at Shabnam’s and I was super impressed with her communication & all the pictures and videos she sent over. Her fenced back yard was the perfect setting for our 2 year old pup to be happy, get proper exercise and interaction with other dogs. We look forward to dropping him off again :)”

“I had an amazing experience using Rover thanks to Shadnay! My dog Lucy isn’t the easiest, but Shadnay was absolutely incredible with her. She’s so patient, thoughtful, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I felt completely at ease knowing Lucy was in such good hands. Highly, highly recommend booking with Shadnay if you get the chance!”
“Dominique has been fantastic with our new puppy. She's been walking our pup throughout the week for a couple weeks and gives us updates and photos every time. She is promp and is always accommodating to changes.”
“Thanks to Hayley for being so attentive and sweet with our big boy, Kaos. Any dog or cat parent would be lucky to have you as their sitter/walker. Thanks again Hayley!”
“Caroline is awesome with my dogs, Dolly and Lenny who are a handful. I must say. They get so excited when they see her come to our door and really enjoy spending time with her. She is an amazing dog walker and I highly recommend using her”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. Raising my own reactive quarantine pup taught me patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. I helped her become calmer and more comfortable around people, animals, and busy environments through consistent socialization and exposure training. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique personality and committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. I am currently working part-time while focusing on online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by owners. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention while in my care.
“Amara was amazing! She's so friendly and energetic, perfect match for our boy. Took good care of him, provided plenty of photos, went above and beyond. These busy parents will definitely be booking again!”
About: I have been a medium and large breed dog owner for over 12 years. I am very capable walking larger dogs. My area is perfect for dog walks with multiple parks and schools to walk. I am currently going to school, so I have a part time schedule. Evenings weekends, and certain days during the week I am available. Woof! I have a fenced yard and care for a large breed dog and a medium breed dogs I live in a townhouse with easy accessibility.
“Ran was great with Hiro and gave me lots of updates and pics on their walk together! Will be booking her for future walks as she’s super responsive and flexible with our schedule. Thanks, Ran!”
About: Although I've never owned a dog myself, that's because I've always understood the level of time, commitment, and responsibility they deserve. I grew up around dogs, have lived with dogs for much of my life, and regularly care for my parents' two Toy Australian Shepherds whenever they're away. They're a mother and daughter duo with very different personalities and needs. The mother is a senior with hip issues who benefits from extra patience and mobility support, while her daughter has anxiety and does best with a calm, reassuring approach and a consistent routine. Being Toy Australian Shepherds, they're also incredibly intelligent and active, so I'm used to dogs that thrive on structure, engagement, and paying close attention to their individual needs. While I don't have experience with every unique medical or behavioural situation, I've been around a wide variety of dog personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to canine body language, respect each dog's boundaries, and believe that building trust is far more important than forcing interactions. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, spending the day with them, or caring for them overnight, I'll treat them with the same patience, attention, and respect I give the dogs in my own life. If your dog has a routine or needs I'm unfamiliar with, I'm always happy to do my research beforehand and carefully follow your instructions. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away! Right now I have a pretty open and flexible schedule, so I'm able to work around most pet care needs. Some mornings and around midday I'm busy babysitting my baby brother, but outside of that I have lots of availability for walks, drop ins, day visits, and overnight stays. I like planning ahead and making sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention they deserve instead of trying to rush from one booking to the next! I'll mostly be caring for pets in their own home because that's where they're usually the happiest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible by following your instructions closely, respecting your home, and making sure your pet feels safe while you're away. In some cases I may be able to care for pets in my home, but it will depend on the pet. I live in a small one bedroom basement suite with my two senior cats, who are very sweet but also very timid. Because of that, I'd only consider pets that are calm, cat friendly, and comfortable in a quieter environment. No matter where I'm caring for your pet, I'll pay close attention to their behaviour, body language, and routine. I know every animal is different, and I think noticing the little things can make a big difference in helping them feel comfortable.
About: I never ask clients to leave a review. I feel like the reviews that I receive are far more genuine and authentic when owners feel inclined to leave feedback on their own. It makes the reviews that I do receive far more meaningful to me and hopefully if you are considering reaching out to me for a booking you can read for yourself about all the happy owners I have worked with over the last few years. I do my best to make sure that all the dogs and cats I have looked after feel safe, happy and content while with me. I like to try and be their home away from home ❤️. If I’ve done that, then I have had a successful booking; for the owner/family and their pet. I grew up with all kinds of pets and feel comfortable and happy around animals. Dogs in particular bring me immense joy. The love and loyalty they give unconditionally sets them apart in my opinion. Besides growing up with pets, as an adult I have raised 2 dogs from a puppy and trained them into adulthood. I have also experienced looking after senior dogs and all that this entails. Currently I have my own small to medium-sized dog at home, she will be a companion to your dog when staying with us. She is super friendly and outgoing. My son and daughter are both in their late teens and are very responsible and each has taken dog training classes. Between the 3 of us, we think we offer a loving, caring home, filled with belly rubs, several walks a day (or one long one!) and maybe a few treats here and there (if allowed). I have had many repeat customers because when a pet returns home after their stay with me they are happy and healthy and owners can see that they have been well looked after. I have enjoyed the trusted relationships I have built with the dog owners I have met and worked with as well as their furry family members! I currently work primarily from home. When I do go into the office, it's only for 1 - 2 days a week for approx. 4 - 6 hours. I have one child in university who lives at home currently and her schedule is such that she is home on the days that I may go into the office. So your pet will never be left alone. My son is also home in the evenings and on the weekends and is happy to help play, walk or support the dog/cat in any way that he can. I can pet-sit and do overnights anytime. I would prefer to have at least 3 days notice that you are wanting to book a stay though so I can plan accordingly. I am mostly a homebody and I love to go for long walks and hikes especially on the weekends when I have more time. Most days I usually take my dog for a walk in the morning for approx. 1 hour and then I usually take her out in the evening for approx. 1 hour walk. If your dog is up for it, they are more than welcome to join us. Throughout the day depending on the energy level of your dog I can also take several breaks to play with your furry friend. I have a large variety of pet toys and dog puzzles to keep your dog active and mentally stimulated. If your dog likes to just relax and snooze most of the day, there are quiet spots throughout my home that would give them the comfort and quiet they would like. There are no young kids in my home or cats that your pet might have to contend with. We live in a peaceful and quiet area with access to the outside whenever your dog might need it. I understand the need for a safe environment for your pet. I require the same from anyone looking after my dog when I have had to go away. I understand the stress and anxiety that can come from leaving your furry family member with a stranger. I am happy to send picture(s) to you of your dog during their stay with me. I have found that this brought me peace when I had to leave my dog, it was important to have a visual of her happy face and I'm happy to provide you with the same! If you want to text about how your dog is doing, I can do that too. I will provide your pet with the same care and love that I give me own dog. I will be attentive to your dogs needs and will be happy to have them in my home. Your dog is welcome on the bed and sofa along with my dog (if that's ok with you). If you are crate training I am familiar with that and I am happy to continue with that routine as well. I also feel comfortable with dogs that are older and require medication throughout their day and perhaps a slower pace and with special needs dogs that may require a little more time and attention.

“Jenny was able to come walk Mo on Christmas Day and I am so grateful! As with other walks/visits, all went smoothly with booking, communication on the day and care of our senior dog with anxiety issues. Jenny has no problems with administering medication along with Mo's supper. When I leave for a visit with family in Vancouver, I have no concerns about Mo as I know he is in good hands!”
“Emma walked our dog Summer while we were on vacation. Excellent communication, reliable and trustworthy. It was a stress free experience and Summer was happy and healthy when we arrived home. Positive all round experience.”

“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“We had the best experience with Walter and Angela! I was so nervous dropping my boxer off for a week but within minutes of meeting them both I felt so comfortable. My dog was clearly loved while I was away and had lots of attention. I also received picture updates which was amazing. I will be using Walter and Angela again without a question.”
“We had a great experience with Randona. She took care of Nala very well. She was very prompt in her response and shared regular updates with pictures and videos. She took Nala for long walks and has a very good dog park nearby, which is very helpful. We were initially anxious as Nala had never stayed with cats, but, she was perfectly fine :). Highly recommended !”
“Heather is kind and knowledgable and welcomed our pup into her home happily. Communication was great and I enjoyed all the little updates and photos. Thank you Heather!”
“Liz was very friendly and communicative, and she looked after Ronin so well, and sent me tons of pictures and updates! Which was amazing, no one has made me feel like my dog was so well looked after before! Ronin seemed to have a great time and he was not anxious at all when I picked him up, which is so rare for him. I will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
“Denise and Paul are wonderful! They are kind, compassionate, true dog lovers! I so appreciated the photos and videos that they sent me. Jasper really enjoyed his weekend with them.”
“So glad we found Chelsea on Rover. She was able to provide excellent care for our 10mon old pup that is fearful of new people. Most Kennels won't accept him. By the end of three days her calm and friendly demeanor rubbed off on him and they were friends. We love the photo update with happy puppy faces. We are grateful for the flexibility in time pick up and the last minute add on of our second dog.”
“The care that Nix provided for my one year old dog Roxy was top notch. She is knowledgeable about dogs and their nutrition, and also very passionate too. The communication between us was amazing - several updates and photos every day! Nix handled an unexpected overnight accident very well, and followed up with dog friendly food remedies to settle my dog’s stomach issues. When I came to pick up Roxy, she even had some homemade treats to send her home with! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Daisy and Paul are the absolute best! Leaving our dogs in someone else's care can be nerve-wracking, but with Daisy and Paul, we couldn't have more peace of mind. They truly go above and beyond to ensure our furry family members are happy, loved, and well taken care of. It's clear they have a genuine passion for what they do, and it shows in every detail. We are so, so grateful to have found them! Knowing our dogs are in such caring and capable hands makes all the difference. Thank you both for everything – you're amazing! Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving dog sitters.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Allison! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Allison was also incredibly accommodating with our schedule. We got stuck in unexpected traffic and ended up arriving much later than our planned pickup time. She was so kind and understanding, staying up late so we could pick up our dog without any issues. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate Allison’s kindness, flexibility, and excellent communication. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Melanie was absolutely amazing 😻 My dog loved her right away, she took her for amazing walks and took the best pictures ever 🤩. For sure I will book her again in the future. I really recommend her if you want someone that loves animals! Thanks Melanie for taking care of Marti!”
“Daniel and Leyla were very patient with my skittish Daisy. They sent tons of photos and videos to show me how she was settling in so I was very confident that Daisy was happy and well cared for. I have already booked Daisy a future stay with them.”
“Our pup had a fun time staying with Alice! She had a few other pup friends to play with, so it was a perfect option for our playful dog. We loved receiving loads of photo updates throughout too!”
“Li was amazing with Bluey! He has such a caring and knowledgeable approach to all dogs. He did training with Bluey and played with all the dogs staying over. He sent lots of photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“Rachael was absolutely wonderful! She loved and cared for Charlie like he was her own and sent us lots of fun videos and pictures of him enjoying his time with her. I would highly recommend her. :)”
“Daniel & Manuela were absolutely amazing! We were so lucky to find them and Hank loved spending time with their family while we were away. I especially loved getting the fun update photos and check ins while we were away. Dropoff and pick up were super smooth and we cant wait to book again when we go out of town.”
“Shivani is one of the best sitter. From the first minute we dropped off Nuttella she keep updating us with photos and videos and very easy to communicate. Nuttella was so happy when we picked him up. We will definitely recommend Shivani . Thank you so much Shivani.”
