Dog Sitting in Burnaby

About: 😺 About Me I’ve been a pet owner for 11 years. My cat a domestic short-hair fur baby and he's currently 11 years old.

“Debbie has been walking our puppy irish setter / golden retriever mix Fergie daily during the week. Debbie is friendly, wonderful to deal with and is very prompt and with great communication. Debbie is reliable and trust-worthy and our puppy is in good hands and enjoys her time with Debbie. Thank you so much for all your continued help and we greatly appreciate it!”

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.

About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, cats, and even a few farm animals, I learned early how to feed, groom, and help with basic vet care and beginner dog training. I’ve cared for pets from newborn kittens and puppies to sweet senior cats and dogs, and even helped supervise my grandma’s cat during labour — what an experience! Since then I’ve raised my own Yorkie, helped caring for my roommate’s Devon Rex cat, and dog-sat a friend’s Shiba Inu, taking her on hikes, long walks, and beach days with my equally pet-loving partner. I’m home most of the time taking an online course and preparing for nursing school, while my partner works from home—so your pets will get plenty of love, walks, and attention. My partner and I live in a pet-friendly apartment steps away from several dog parks. We both love hiking and beach trips and can easily drive your pets for longer nature walks.

“Justine did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away. I felt confident that they were safe and happy during her visits. She is a fantastic communicator and sent lots of great photos and updates during each of her visits. I definitely recommend her and will book with her again if I go on another trip :)”

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 been caring for pets for over 10 years and it’s truly one of my biggest joys. I personally have two cats, but have a lot of experience with both cats and dogs, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to sweet senior companions. I have a gentle touch and lots of patience for shy or anxious pets. I always take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable on their own terms. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years and I’d love to provide the same care for yours. I’m happy to travel within Coquitlam and Burnaby, and I can be flexible with scheduling. I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages so you can feel connected to your furry friend while you’re away. 🐶🐱 My schedule is flexible, giving me lots of time to dedicate to your pets. I’ll make sure they get all the play, care, and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. Feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to work out a schedule that fits your needs. :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep to their regular routine for feeding, exercise, and any medication.

“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.”

About: Unable to have pets in my university dorm, but with the never ending love for them- here I am! I’d love to use my free time and breaks from class/studying to be outdoors and meet you and your pets! I love the rain, so walks can continue happily (-: We may have already met as I work at Bosley’s Brewery District in New Westminster! May course schedule along with work are not typically consistent, so I’d love to chat about specifics! I prefer mornings, which means I’ll also likely have time for evening walks- double whammy for those energetic dogs! I will also be utilizing public transit! Whether you have scheduled care plans by the hour for your pet, or you give them the room to roam to and from the food bowl when they want, I will keep your routines as similar as possible.

Clear, Transparent Communication: You will receive regular check-ins, exact arrival/departure updates, and plenty of photos and videos so you always know your fur babies—and your home—are in safe, reliable hands.

About: Hi, I am Tanisha, and I have had pets my entire life.. I have always known dogs and cats as a special blessing on earth, so they deserve the best of everything. I take care of each pet based on their personality and preferences, and offer pet sitting, long or short walks, and boarding, as well as extended stays, and a lot of fun 😁 Caring for your pet, I will make sure that they will never feel lonely. If your dog struggles with separation anxiety or gets lonely easily, they will benefit from having multiple people around to give them attention and care and I live in a house with 4 of my housemates and plenty of space for your pet to move around and play. One of my pets once had five puppies, and I looked after them as they grew. They all turned out healthy and strong with the right care. I also have experience with senior dogs, some as old as 15 years. I understand the special needs of older dogs and are well-equipped to take care of them. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! and I will take care of it. Most importantly, safety is where you need not worry because that’s my priority. I Work part time in a chocolate company. So my schedule is very flexible. Your pet will have long and short walks tailored to their preferences, meals would be on time and lots of love. However, as mentioned they will never be alone because there’s 4 of us who all work park time. I live in a big house, so your pet will have lots of space to roam around and play; I also have a backyard and a front lawn with protected walls. Most importantly, we have created a home-like environment for pets so they feel comfortable in their own home.
