“Walter is in Love! He was so happy with the care and walks he got. And how comforting Sky was to his injured paw. He is looking forward to their week together.”

Debra J.

“Sara was so wonderful! She was so kind to our pups, gave us lots of sweet little updates and left everything in our home so clean. If you’re looking for someone reliable to stay and with your pet look no further!”

Mackenzie B.

“I can’t say how grateful I am for having met Seoyeong! After over 3 years without taking vacations together, my husband and I were really nervous and unsure about leaving our Nina with someone we didn’t know, and the best review was actually seeing how rested and relaxed Nina was when we finally got back home. Our dog was happy to see us, of course, but there was no anxiety, no signs of stress at all, and that is the best review I can think of. Seoyeong was so patient with us throughout the entire process… That was our first time using Rover, and we had a lot of questions and all the uncertainties that come with leaving our baby with someone new. Seoyeong was patient with our questions and accommodating to our needs. That gave us the confidence we needed to enjoy a wonderful vacation time! I can’t thank her enough for that!! She kept track of Nina’s food, exercise routine, and supplements… Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, the apartment was nice and tidy when we got back. Nina was in great shape, happy and relaxed, and that says it all! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Nina asked me to tell you she is missing you already.🐾”

About: 🏠Boarding: 1 dog at a time 🦮Dog walking: usually 1 household at a time, occasionally 2 (never more than that) 🏢Home: 1 bedroom + Den Condo, no yard, no other pets, no kids, no roommates 🌙During stays: daily walks and potty breaks every couple of hours ________ _______ ______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ 🐶 I grew up with dogs and have years of hands on experience caring for different personalities, sizes, routines, and energy levels. I pay close attention to each dog’s habits, comfort, behaviour, and individual needs. Outside of pet care, I work as a software developer. I care for dogs because I genuinely love having them around, not because I want to fit as many bookings as possible into my day. I would rather care for fewer dogs, get to know them properly, and treat them like they are temporarily my own. I am honestly a little like a grandma with them 👵🏻 I want them fed, comfortable, entertained, rested, and feeling loved🥰. I tend to spoil them a little, but always within the owner’s rules. I love figuring out each dog’s personality, whether they are confident, shy, cuddly, stubborn, or completely distracted by squirrels or pigeons 🐿️ I am usually playful and affectionate with them, but I can also be firm when they need a boundary. Somewhere in between, we usually figure each other out. Underneath the cuddles, I'm paying attention: how they're eating, drinking, sleeping, and going to the bathroom, and whether anything seems different from what you told me. If something seems off, you'll hear from me. ⚠️Fair warning: your dog might come back next time acting like they own the place. A few of my regulars already do. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 🏠 Dogs generally have free roam of my condo and can relax on the sofa or sleep on the bed if you are comfortable with that. I also have a crate available for dogs who are crate trained or feel safer in one. I only use it if it is part of your dog's normal routine or you request it. I take only one overnight 🌙😴dog at a time. Occasionally I may also have a dog walk or compatible daycare guest. If there's any chance your dog will meet another dog, I'll tell you beforehand and make sure you're comfortable with it. 👀 Let me know about pulling, barking, reactivity, separation anxiety, food guarding, escape behaviour, or anything else that helps me understand them. I will be equally honest with you if I notice anything unusual during their stay.

About: I'm a patient, gentle, and responsible person who enjoys spending time outdoors, going for walks, and exploring nature. I'd be happy to share those little adventures with your dog, while also enjoying quiet, relaxed time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and needs. I take the time to get to know them and respect their individual preferences, whether that means an energetic walk, a little playtime, or simply some quiet companionship and cuddles. I am a semi-retired educator, a former dog Mom who has a lot of time and love to share with your furry companion. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and staying active. This makes pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my day. At the same time I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. I believe in creating a calm, loving environment where pets can feel at home. I’m happy to send you regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Most of all, I offer patience, kindness, and genuine affection. I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone else requires trust, and I would do my very best to make that experience a positive one for both you and your furry family member.

“Korina is a very caring and responsible individual. She is amazing with my two dogs! I highly recommend her services!”

“Thank you Kathryn for your understanding today and helping fulfill the needs for Daisy. She clearly trusted you right away and your consistent communication allowed me to enjoy my day away :)”

About: I’m lucky to have two amazing dogs in my life, Luna ( a lady of a certain age! ) she belongs to my son and when she comes to me for her “holidays” we enjoy long, leisurely walks and/or a lovely swim in the ocean! And lots of cosy, curled up on the couch time. Then there’s Molly- who is a sweet golden retriever puppy belonging to my daughter. I spent a wonderful summer with Molly in tow, at just 10 weeks old, everything was new to her and delighted her. Although our walks were short, we went often and Molly made many friends in the neighbourhood! My daughter lives in the Okanagan Valley therefore, sadly I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with “our” Molly. Having said that, I do have lots of time to spend with your precious canine! I love walking and believe I would be a great companion for your dog when you can’t be there. I will strive to walk in different areas to provide visual interest to your dog and take the utmost care of him/ her at all times. I prefer on leash walks but am more than happy to play off leash games in your back yard. If your dog requires medication, I’m quite confident with that - recently Luna needed a course of injections and I was able to do that with no problems and obviously, I can feed your dog if required. At the moment I provide 2 kitties with regular overnight care and drop in visits. One of whom is diabetic & requires daily medication. I have lots of flexibility at the moment. I can offer week day and weekend service and am happy to tailor the length/ type of walk to suit your dog. I prefer to offer one on one care to deepen my bond with your dog. I am excellent housekeeper & live “lightly” in my clients homes.

“Sumiah was fantastic. She took care of our house, dog and cat and kept us worry-free during the entire duration. She was especially accommodating when we had flight delays and that's extremely appreciated. I couldn't recommend her more!”

Cory L.

“Susanne did an excellent job watching Raii! Arrived on time, took her for walks which can be difficult at times. Raii loved her . She was very friendly and easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable Very pleased with Susanne and would definitely get again”

Karen R.

“Tiana was a great sitter, and I would definitely recommend her to others.  Her communication, availability, and flexibility as we made plans for her to stay at my house was SO kind, and for that alone I am so grateful!! But she did a great job taking care of my kitty, and I was happy to not have to worry about her while I was gone for multiple weeks. Tiana also went out of her way to be very respectful of my home while she was staying there. She clearly put thought and effort into making sure things were nice, clean, and set up for me when I arrived home. I can't tell you how good it felt to come home after a long trip to my space and cat being so well taken care of <3 I definitely want her to catsit again for me next time.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me since I was a kid, and I’ve owned my own dogs since 2020. I’ve taken positive reinforcement puppy training courses as well as reactivity specific lessons, so I’m comfortable reading early warning signs in anxious or reactive dogs and know how to de-escalate rather than just react. I’m also experienced handling big, strong dogs confidently and safely on leash. Before having my own, I dog sat regularly for friends, so I’ve got a solid range of temperaments and routines under my belt. I work from home running my own business, which means I’m around during the day most weekdays and have flexible availability for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I can work around specific feeding or walk times rather than squeezing visits into a rigid window. While house sitting, I treat your home like a guest would; respecting your space, sticking to your pet’s normal routine, and keeping things exactly as I found them. For drop-ins and walks, I’m attentive to leash safety, comfortable handling multiple pets, and quick to notice if something seems off with appetite, energy, or behavior. I’m also comfortable with reptile care basics like enclosure checks and feeding schedules, if that’s ever relevant

About: I have not owned a cat in many years but always enjoy their company. Even the most unsocial cats seek out affection and attention for me. I have been involved with farming and farm sitting since I was a child. I work a couple of part time jobs in healthcare. My schedule for meeting with clients is flexible and can easily be worked around pet care commitments. I have walking trails and a fenced dog park in my neighbourhood. I have a spacious home and areas of my home can be closed off in order to assure a safe environment when I am not able to be around to observe the pets in my care directly.

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for many years, I have experience with all pets. I have worked with all different sizes and breeds, I have also worked with different temperaments. I’ve dealt with shy and timid dogs, to aggressively not good with other animals or humans, and of course loving and super friendly dogs. Pets are my passion and I only have what’s best interest for them :) I have tons of references if wanted, I am super flexible and just happy to help with your furry family members. I am happy to just drop by and give a snuggle or out for a bathroom break, and I am also happy to stay at your home for as long as you need. I currently work part time, my job is flexible so I am able to check on the pets anytime during the day! I am always home by 3pm so plenty times for adventures and snuggles! I am very attentive to pets needs, I love playtime, snuggles, and adventures! I live by lots of trails and beaches perfect for the Adventurous pups!

About: I have always grown up with animals - dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragons.. and have house sitted and cared for friends animals (and plants!) across England, Australia, USA and Canada. I am an avid hiker and also city stroller - keen to take your dog on a big hike or little guy on a stroll along the beach. Happy to practice commands and any tricks youve been teaching your guy. I am taking the winter off from my usual line of work, so my schedule is fully open. I co-parent two cats with my partner in Victoria, BC and have been missing the companionship of some dogs around me. I like going for long walks almost every day after recently completing the PCT and happy to bring your dog along for some of my longer or shorter walks. I am a routine loving person and happy to adapt to your already established routine with your pet. I can keep things comfortable and consistent, from the length of walks to feeding time. Beyond pet care im happy to bring your mail in, water your plants and keep your place clean and secure.

My approach is simple: calm energy, careful attention, and a genuinely peaceful experience for both pets and their people. *NOTE* For Reviews of Past Pet care * Please look through all of my photos. Pet care is an intentional part of my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care, companionship, feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment while maintaining each pet's familiar schedule. I offer overnight house sitting and scheduled drop-in visits, limiting the number of pets I care for at a time to ensure each receives calm, individualized attention. My flexible routine accommodates vacations, extended travel, and occasional care needs. I prioritize consistency, medication schedules, and a peaceful environment. I'm particularly well suited to cats, small dogs, and senior pets who appreciate gentle companionship, predictable routines, and thoughtful care.

I carefully follow your pet's established routines and any specific care instructions, paying close attention to behaviour, appetite, and overall well-being. I provide a daily update with photos so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications, maintaining clean litter boxes, providing fresh water, and offering gentle play or affectionate companionship when welcomed. My calm, consistent approach helps pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. Above all, I aim to create an environment where your pet can relax and thrive while you're away, and you can travel knowing your home and companions are in attentive, trustworthy hands.

“Very happy with Erika’s care of my 2 pets while I was away for 5 days without cell service. I came home to a tidy home & happy pets. Thank you Erika!”

“Etieteen was so great with Molly! I would definitely have him come and puppy sit again. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans over Christmas that meant we could no longer take molly with us. Etieteen was so accommodating and put me at ease right away. He stayed at our apartment and took such good care of everything for almost a full week. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. He sent us lots of updates over the 5 days he was watching her and was always available when I needed to contact him. I can tell that Molly received lots of attention and was well taken care of while we were away. She misses her new friend.”

About: I am a young professional who loves the outdoors. I spend most of my time being very active outside. I enjoy hiking, running or long walks on the beach in all types of weather! I have always loved dogs and have spent many years being around them and caring for them. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters and guinea pigs, mice, frogs etc. I often volunteer to take friend's and familie's dogs for walks in my spare time or pet sit over longer periods of time. I genuinely enjoy the company and energy that dogs bring. I have a life long ambition to care for animals who have been neglected or poorly treated. Apart from being active, I also enjoy downtime/ snuggle time with older/less energetic animals. I have a gentle touch and a lot of love to share for 4 legged friends, no matter the size or temperament! I am currently taking the Summer off so my schedule is wide open for all your furry friend's needs! Please feel free to reach out regarding any availability questions/concerns. I have a large property (a dogs paradise!) but I am also happy to go on as many or as little dog walks/fetch dates as needed for whatever length is best suited for your dog. I have lots of experience with anxious animals or unsocialized pets so therefore I am confident I can keep your fur baby safe.

“Victoria did a wonder ful job managing our pets and home during the holidays. She was very responsible, proactive and a great communicator. We had one issue with our dog during her visit and she was able to manage with the Vets and communicate with us as well as anyone could have asked. We came home to happy pets, evidence they had a great time with Victoria.”
