House Sitting in Bowen Island

“Rileigh was amazing with our two dachshunds during a last-minute 5-night stay. We’d never left them with anyone outside of family before, but her great communication and regular photo/video updates gave us so much peace of mind. Her background in dog training was a huge bonus — she even helped with some behaviors we’d been struggling with. Highly recommend Rileigh to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

“Mariia and Vini were fantastic! They took great care of our dog, Buckley, making time to get to know him in advance - this meant a lot to us. They provided lots of updates, were responsive to our questions, and treated our home very respectfully while we were away for 2 weeks. Would definitely book them again.”

“Isobel was lovely and took really great care of our dog for the day. My dog can be anxious and reactive and Isobel knew how to manage her in a way that felt comfortable and safe. My dog seemed to love her and felt so calm around her. Isobel also made sure to keep us calm and sent cute pictures 😊 This dog sitting turn out to be much less convenient for Isobel than intended, and I know she went through a lot of trouble to keep the booking and not cancel on us. This really shows how reliable she is and we appreciate it! Thank you so much! Would definitely book again.”

“Yichun was amazing! She stayed at our place to look after our two cats while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent regular updates and super cute photos, which really helped us relax while we were gone. Both our cats were happy and calm when we got home, they might have missed her more than us when she was gone! The house was spotless when we got back, and everything was just as we left it. You can tell she really cares. We’d 100% recommend Yichun and hope to have her back next time we go away!”

“Tina was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my two cats while we were away, and even sent us regular updates and photos, which we loved. It was clear she went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her kindness and attention to detail. My cats seemed so comfortable with her! We’ll definitely be booking Tina again the next time we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend! 10/10”

“Allison always replies promptly, gives updates on Burkley and leaves the place looking the same as how I left it. I’m a return customer and I will continue to be! I would recommend her.”

Allie L.

“Anna and Vladimir were amazing! Our pet was very well taken care of and they provided excellent communication over our time away from home. They stayed in our home and took excellent care of everything. We would certainly recommend and definitely plan to book them again.”

Chris P.

“Bryana was so so sweet and caring! She took EXCELLENT care of our cats and updated us regularly with photos. I definitely recommend her for taking care of your fur babies. Thank you so much Bryana!!”

“From our first meet and greet, our cats seemed to really like Polina , and she seemed like a great fit. She sent plenty of photos and updates , and it was clear that our cats were being very well cared for, with lots of snuggles and lots of play! We would not hesitate to have Polina stay in our home with our two cats again !”

“Amy was wonderful. Took great care of our elderly dog, and left the house spotless upon our return. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of cats with a variety of needs including medical. Happy to look after dogs too as I love being with my friends and their pups. I am able to work from home as needed and have a flexible office where dogs are welcome. I have a car to help transport and know all the great spots by my work for all the walks! I have stayed in homes many times and can help look after your pets/garden/plants etc.. as needed. Happy to sit around the city as well as further out.

“Paloma is a wonderful pet sitter! She looked after our dog for a week at our apartment, sending detailed updates with photos each day and asking all the right questions to ensure continuity of care. It’s very clear to me that Maple was extremely well looked after, as was our home. Thank you!!”

Megan D.

“Hannah and Joe were amazing. Our dog and cat were so well taken care of and their communication was great with us while we were away. Our neighbours raved about the attention our pets got from them and have asked for their info to use them in the future. On a side note, they also left our home immaculate for when we returned home. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again in the future!”

Britton L.

“Once again Cass was AMAZING! Being able to go on our honeymoon worry-free was such a blessing and Cass’s care is truly priceless ❤️. Our girls are always happy and healthy when we arrive, and the house is better than we left it!! We will forever recommend and choose Cass when it comes to our fur babies. 100/10!”

About: I've had 4 dogs in my life from the age of 15 and they all lived full and happy lives. Currently I look after 3 beautiful and healthy cats which had been a dream of my since childhood. As a self employed narrative designer and video editor I get to have a lot of sporadic free time which matches perfectly with pet sitting. I'm very respectful of other people's homes since it's a privileged to be invited into someone else's space. I also take into consideration that, like people, every animal has its own personality and needs which I'm here to tend to.

“I cannot say enough positive things about Jake & the incredible care he gave our fur baby, Harley. He saved our weekend getaway by accommodating my urgent request when our other arrangements fell through last minute (when we were already out of town). Needless to say it was a stressful situation, but he was super quick to respond and was at our place within a couple of hours. Jake’s communication was 10/10 the entire time we were away and he sent frequent updates & photos which instantly put my mind at ease. It was evident from the pictures & videos that Harley loved her time with Jake and he went above & beyond with all the adventures he took her on! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter for your fur baby (especially in a pinch), I would 110% recommend Jake!”

About: A Decades-Long Journey of Caring for Dogs, Specializing in Puppy Training and Senior Companionship. From childhood through adulthood, dogs have been my constant companions. I've honed my skills in training exuberant puppies and providing compassionate care for our older furry friends. Trust me to give your beloved pet the exceptional attention and love they deserve. As a student with flexible afternoons, pet care easily slots into my weekly routine. With my schedule, I can dedicate ample time to ensure your pet's needs are met. Whether it's engaging playtime, refreshing walks, or simply keeping them company, I have the availability to provide consistent and attentive care that aligns perfectly with my studies. When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment that feels like a second home for them. This includes designated play areas, cozy sleeping spots, and regular feeding schedules. I tailor activities to their preferences, whether it's interactive playtime or calm cuddles. When tending to pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines. I stick to their feeding, walking, and play schedules as closely as possible. I'm respectful of their space and surroundings, while also providing companionship and comfort. My goal is to ensure a seamless transition so that the pets feel relaxed and content in their own environment.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, chickens, dogs, cats, parrots and rabbits. my father had a wildlife touring company on Vancouver Island where we observed Killer Whales, Grizzly Bears and sea otters and many other animals. I have over 6 years of experience working and managing pet stores along with dog, cat, and rabbit adoption through the SPCA. I also have experience walking dogs and boarding them in doggy daycare. Due to working in pet stores, I have extensive knowledge of pet foods and products. I grew up with German Shepherds, and owned two Pomeranians that have recently passed due to old age and have worked with rescue dogs as well. I love both domestic and wild animals and am passionate about protecting animals, and the environment. I am an active person that loves to be outside, and going on walks and hikes. My pomeranian Pongo passed away in 2022 from old age, and my second pomeranian Pepper passed away at the beginning of this year from old age. Dog boarding will help bridge the transition for me not having a dog at home anymore, and this way I can still give love and attention to dogs while their families are away traveling. I did some dog boarding with Rover with Pongo, but once I rescued Pepper I stopped dog boarding for about 5 years. Now that pepper has passed I am ready to do this again. I have a hybrid job so I am only in the office Monday to Wednesday and work from home Thursday and friday, which means your pup will have constant companionship from Thursday to Sunday. Monday to Wednesday your pup will only be alone for max 6 hours. I also have flexibility with my job, and can work from home the whole week if your pup cant be alone. I can walk your pup basically as much as they want, I live in a nice neighborhood with parks nearby and can take your pup for forests walks at pacific spirit park if that is something your dog likes. Can give your pup lots of playtime and cuddles as well. I live in an apartment and have a dog safe space (so they cant get into human food or anything else they shouldn't get into). I can take your pup for leashed walks around my neighborhood, to parks, pacific spirit park and nearby beaches if that is something your dog likes. My apartment and my energy is calm and peaceful so your dog will have a relaxing time here with me.

“Ibrahim did a fantastic job watching my two dogs while I was abroad. This included administering daily medicine to one of them. He kept the house very clean, and was communicative while I was away, updating me on how the dogs were doing. I will definitely hire him again to watch my two dogs!”
