Cat Sitting in Burnaby

About: (Hi! You can call me Kelly if my legal name is a bit hard to read ;D) Hello! I am a Burnaby resident who is looking for cat-care, dog walks, and any pet boarding! I grew up with a pet cat at home and I am very experienced in taking care of pets (always helping my friends with their cats/dogs), the longest pet sitting I have ever had was with a cat for two months. My schedule is flexible, please don't hesitate to let me know when you are in need! I am currently working part time Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday and at home all day on the other days. I’m very flexible on my schedule and time for pet care. I live in a basement with one roommate and the house has a big backyard. Cats are totally acceptable but I cannot host any dog inside, I’ll play with the dog in the backyard or in the nearest dog park. I am also happy to be boarded at the client's home.

About: I've been pet sitting for the last 7 years and have experience sitting dogs and cats, but open to taking care of other furry friends! I work fully remote, so I have the flexibility to be available and present anytime! When I am pet sitting, I prioritize the needs of the pet and work around their schedule. I love walking and enjoy getting outside throughout the day, so daily walks is a must for me. When it comes to being a guest in someone's home, I take this responsibility very seriously. I am extremely conscientious and responsible, and will always inform the homeowner should I have any concerns or questions. That said, I've never had any concerning incidents or issues during my years of house/pet sitting.

About: I worked for about 2 years in a dog daycare, so I’m used to being around different types of dogs and handling them safely in busy environments. I also helped with dog rescues back in Colombia, where I fostered dogs and supported organizations that care for stray animals. That experience taught me a lot about patience and understanding dogs with different personalities. I really just love being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available most days for walks and drop-in visits. I’m reliable and can adapt to your pet’s routine, and I’d love to make caring for dogs part of my daily life. I currently live in a rental where pets aren’t allowed, so I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’m happy to provide dog walking and drop-in visits in your home.

About: About Dog: I am the proud 'mom' of an 11.5-year-old Siberian Husky who is still thriving, energetic, and healthy. Raising a high-energy breed into their senior years has taught me everything about scientific nutrition, joint care, and the importance of a balanced lifestyle. My approach is rooted in Positive Reinforcement and 'loving boundaries.' I believe that every pet deserves a caregiver who understands their unique personality and physical needs. Whether it’s managing a senior dog's delicate routine or handling the boundless energy of a younger pup, I have the patience and expertise to ensure they feel safe and loved. When your furry friend is with me, they aren't just being 'watched'—they are being cared for with the same scientific rigor and deep affection I give my own senior boy. About Cat: While my personal journey with cats began three years ago, my expertise rivals decades of experience due to the intensity and depth of my training. I successfully rescued a day-old kitten abandoned by its feral mother—a challenge that required around-the-clock dedication and specialized medical knowledge. In those critical early weeks, I functioned on minimal sleep, bottle-feeding every two hours and manually managing her body temperature with heat bottles every four hours before professional equipment arrived. I personally navigated every milestone: from her very first assisted elimination and the falling of her umbilical cord to her first time opening her eyes and the transition to solid food. Through this 'trial by fire,' I became an avid student of feline behavior and health. I have spent countless hours researching veterinary-grade resources and books to master feline habits, nutrition, and common health issues. Whether your cat is a playful kitten or a sensitive adult, I offer a level of vigilance and intuitive care that only comes from saving a life. I am fully confident in providing a safe, knowledgeable, and nurturing environment for your feline family members. As I am currently dedicated to full-time home-based pet care, I am available 24/7 to provide your furry family members with undivided attention. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, specialized medical monitoring, or simply constant companionship, I have the luxury of time to ensure they never feel lonely. Your pet’s routine will be my top priority, and I am always here to provide real-time updates and peace of mind. Safety is my absolute priority. Having raised a senior Siberian Husky and rescued fragile neonatal kittens, I am deeply attuned to creating a secure, hazard-free environment. In my home (or yours), I maintain a 'safety-first' protocol: • For Dogs: I perform regular perimeter checks of fenced areas and ensure all walking gear (harnesses/leashes) is double-checked before heading out. I am experienced in identifying subtle signs of stress or discomfort. • For Cats: I am an expert in 'cat-proofing'—ensuring no toxic plants, small swallowable objects, or unsealed windows are accessible. • Health & Hygiene: I follow strict sanitization routines, especially for kittens or senior pets with sensitive immune systems. I am also trained to administer medications and monitor health vitals. You can trust that your pet will be supervised with the vigilance of a professional caregiver, ensuring they are not just comfortable, but entirely safe.

“Angela is great with our kitties. This was our second time booking with her. Our shoestring kitty even made an appearance and that's pretty rare!”

“Tanya is excellent. She provides gentle care and lots of photo updates. Our kitties are both quite shy, but they warmed up to Tanya faster than anyone else we've introduced them to. We'd highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a pet-sitter.”

When we got home, everything was fine. We definitely ask her to take care of our cats next time as well;)”

“Lauren is excellent. She went above and beyond for my cat. She was genuinely concerned for his well being and made her morning visit far earlier than I would have dared to ask. She also made herself available for an extra visit in case my travel plans were changed. I will definitely call on her again.”

About: From a young age, I have been immersed in caring for animals, especially cats. Growing up on a farm where we bred cats, dogs, and rabbits and raised chickens, I learned early on how to connect with animals on a deep, soulful level. My father, who worked in various animal-related roles, taught me the importance of treating all animals with respect and love as equals to humans. I've cared for cats and kittens since I was a child, and my mom lovingly called me "the cat dad" because of my innate ability to understand them. This lifelong experience has instilled in me a compassionate approach to pet care. As someone who works from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friends. Whether you need daily visits, extended stays, or just someone to check in on your cat while you're away, I'm here to provide reliable and loving care whenever you need it. Your cat’s well-being is my priority, and I’m available to accommodate a wide range of schedules. When your cat is in my care, their safety and comfort come first.

Whether it’s providing the right food, plenty of fresh water, or cozy spots for naps, I take every detail into account. You can trust that your cat will receive attentive and loving care while you're away.

About: Nice to meet YOU! I’m a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker living in North Burnaby’s Lochdale area, and I’m so excited to meet you and your pets. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals—from feeding homeless cats and caring for abandoned kittens, to rescuing a hamster left by the garbage bins and adopting surrendered fish and turtles from classmates (we were no longer friends from then on :D). Animals have always been the missing pieces of my life puzzle. I recently launched Winnie the Paws, a wellness-focused brand that promotes holistic and natural care for pets (and people!). As a certified canine massage therapist, I’ll include a 15-minute wellness massage session to my dog walking packages to help dogs stay relaxed, mobile, and happy. Experience with puppies and training: When I turned 14, my family adopted three rescue puppies. I learned to care for them—feeding, bathing, grooming, leash training, potty training, and even teaching tricks. They grew into 70-lb babies and now live with my parents in my home country. I also attended puppy training classes with a local host family’s new pup while living in Vancouver. I can support basic training needs, help reinforce good behaviors, and offer enrichment that’s tailored to your dog’s personality—whether they’re a high-energy puppy or a mellow senior. Experience with senior dogs & special needs: I’ve helped care for senior dogs like my host family's elderly Labrador, and a Boston Terrier with liver disease. My own dog, Roni, is almost 11 now—and he just learned a new trick! I started studying massage therapy to support his aging body and overall wellness. My volunteer work with ElderDog Canada also gave me meaningful experience supporting both senior people and their beloved older dogs. Rescue Dogs & foster experience: I’ve fostered small dogs from China and Mexico, helping them build confidence and learn how to live in a loving home. I volunteered with several rescue groups, assisting with foster care and adoption placements. Experience with cats I’m also a regular cat sitter in the neighbourhood. I’ve bonded closely with both senior cats and kittens, and I’m comfortable with shy or outgoing personalities. When I lived with a host family, the cats slept on my bed while the dogs played beside me—everyone was family. I am certified in pet first aid to ensure your pets stay safe in emergencies, and I’m always learning more about animal wellness. I currently share my life with my beloved Roni. Whether your pets are young, senior, shy, or full of energy, I promise to love and care for them as much as I do my own. I am available every day after 8 pm if anyone needs service later at night. I am usually available on weekdays, while having limited access to a vehicle on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But please send me a message if you live nearby. I am always available to help my neighbors! I prefer taking care of your pets at your home. I also have access to my own vehicle if your pets need a ride. I will be aware of hygiene and sanitation with I am visiting your pets at your place, including washing my hands and wiping your dogs' paws when we return from outside. Please feel free to let me know if you prefer I wear a mask with your pets outside.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 8 years old. I had 2 dogs and 2 cats in my life. I’d say that they had a very good life when they were with me. Friends and families relies on me when they need me to do a pet-sitting. I was responsible to bathe them, make sure that they have nutritious meals and drinks, potty train them, walk them, bring them to the vet when it’s needed, play and entertain them, and always make sure that they’re happy. I’m currently working evening shifts, so I can pet-sitting your pets in the morning till afternoon before 3 PM. Then I can go back to pet-sitting again and staying at your place at night time after I finish my shift at 11 PM. I normally petsit with my partner, Cindy, and she works from home. So she can provide the care that’s needed for your pets while I’m away for work. I can take care of your pet at your own place, because unfortunately my apartment is not pet-friendly. This is one of the reasons why I want to do this job, so I can be around my client’s pets.

“Megan did a great job communicating with us throughout the visits and sending lots of pics & updates! We came home to happy cats and clean litter boxes too :) Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitters.”
