“Wonderful communication - Alexandria took great care of my two cats over the holidays. She was kind and loving with them. She even won over my “suspicious” cat by the end!”
About: Ever since my childhood, dogs have been an integral part of my life, thanks to my parents who instilled in me a deep love and respect for these wonderful companions. Now, as a proud dog owner myself, I share my days with my beloved canine friend, Bobbi. His presence brings an unparalleled joy, and the bond we share is something truly special. Working from home provides me with the perfect opportunity to shower my furry friend with the attention and care he deserves. Bobbi and I enjoy spending quality time together, be it playing in our fenced yard, going for long walks, or simply lounging indoors. I'm proud to provide a smoke-free and drug-free environment, ensuring the utmost safety and well-being for all our four-legged guests. Photographing dogs has become a passion of mine – capturing their unique personalities and moments of joy brings me immense happiness. Our home is not just a place to stay; it's a haven for dogs to play, relax, and feel cherished. I look forward to extending that love and care to your beloved pets, creating a home away from home for them. I am working from home everyday (8-16). I always take dogs out for potty break before me starting my day. At noon, I will let dogs to have a break in the yard. After work, I normally take dogs for a walk or go to the dog park for 40min-1hr. Before bed, there will be another short potty break. I live in a townhome with my partner where we have a fenced yard where my dog Bobbi always plays his balls there! No kids! No smoking! No drugs!
About: Growing up, I had a yellow lab named Jazzy who sadly passed away about 5 years ago. I’ve really missed having a dog in my life since, but my apartment doesn’t allow pets—so I’d love the chance to care for yours. I spend a lot of time around dogs like my dad’s golden retriever, Tucker, and our friend’s Bernese mountain dog, Charlie. Whether it’s going for walks, hikes, playing in the snow, or just relaxing, I genuinely love being around them. Anytime my partner and I see a dog, we get just as excited as dogs do when they see a squirrel—it really shows how much we love them. What sets me apart is that I’m not doing this just for the money—I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for. I’m reliable, easygoing, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work as an RMT in Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam with a consistent schedule—Monday 10–4, Tuesday & Thursday 2–8, Friday 12–6:30, and Saturday 9–4. This leaves me available most mornings, evenings, Wednesdays, and Sundays, making it easy to fit in walks, check-ins, or overnight sitting. I’m also able to plan my days ahead of time, so I can stay consistent and reliable for your pet’s routine. When caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m walking your dog or staying in your home, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and needs—whether that’s high-energy walks, slower paced outings, or just spending time keeping them company. I always follow any instructions closely (feeding, routines, medications if needed) and keep a clean, respectful environment in your home. You can trust that your dog will be well looked after, treated with care, and given lots of attention while you’re away.
About: Both Becky & Dylan grew up with pets. Becky had 2 large dogs, and Dylan had 2 dogs and multiple cats. We have always had a love for animals, big and small. At this stage in our lives, we do not have any pets of our own. We are the loving auntie/uncle to Becky’s sister’s two dogs, Gus and Hopps; her dad’s dog, Ollie; her uncle’s dog, Moffat, and Dylan’s sister’s cat named Ben. Not to mention, an honorary aunt/uncle to countless friends’ pets. We have had the pleasure of pet-sitting dogs and cats of all ages, including an adorable 15 year old Boston Terrier with various health issues requiring timed medication and a rescue dog that required daily physiotherapy exercises and massage for some muscle and joint pain he was experiencing. Becky works a full-time job Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm. Dylan is often able to stay with pets during the day and complete daytime walks & playtime. We enjoy spending as much time as possible with the pets we are sitting. We are quiet and respectful working professionals who are committed to providing loving care to your beloved pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while you are away.
“Kelly was great with Keira! She was communicative, responsive, diligent and kind. Thank you for accepting my last minute booking! It was a pleasure having you, would rebook for sure and definitely would recommend!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience caring for pets of different sizes. I had two German Shepherds, a large Central Asian Shepard, and several cats, including Siamese and Persian cats. I also took care of my neighbors' smaller dogs, such as small terriers and Spaniels, and cats when they needed help. I'm comfortable with large and small dogs and can follow each other owner's feeding, walking and care instructions. I’m studying part-time and am usually fully available on weekend, and after 2 p.m. on workdays. Also, I can be available some workdays for the full day. I understand that every pet has its own routine, so I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and other basic care. I also make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and that the home is left clean, tidy, and secure.

“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 :)”

My friends and family have relied on me to babysit or take care of their animals when ever I can and I am always happy to! I absolutely adore and love animals so I will always treat them like my own.

About: Hello! My name is Laura and I am a stay-at-home-mom just getting back into the workforce! I've had a lifetime of experience with cat and dog guardianship. In 2025, I started doing drop in visits for a friend's senior dog and enjoyed it so much I now have multiple local clients I walk and visit regularly. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior cats/dogs, anxious cats/dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs of all sizes. I am not a trainer but I have worked with certified AnimalKind trainers with my own dogs, and am familiar with common training practices. I can follow your training procedures while I'm with your dog! I've provided life long care and end of life care to 4 senior pets. This included giving subcutaneous fluids to a senior cat and giving multiple medications and specialized foods to both cats and dogs. I also have my animal first aid certificate through Red Cross. As a dog guardian, I know how important it is to have a routine. My schedule is flexible and I am usually able to accommodate the needs of my clients and their pets. Our current dog is anxious and reactive. At 55 pounds she can be a handful while on walks. I have special routes I take which limit her interaction with others and keep her below threshold. I also have high traffic walking routes I frequent with my social clients who love to say hello to everyone they meet.
About: I have 2 years of experience working in a professional grooming salon as a bather, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and temperaments. I’m reliable, patient, kind, and genuinely love being around dogs. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pup with the same care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dog. Whether it’s going for a walk, getting some playtime in, or simply keeping them company, I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and happy! My schedule is currently very flexible! I’m a part-time tattoo artist and typically only take one client per day, Monday through Friday. If I have a tattoo appointment, I’m usually only away for about 1–3 hours, so I have plenty of time available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. I’m also currently a nursing student, but I don’t start school until January, so I have lots of availability right now. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine and any specific instructions they provide. I want pets to feel comfortable and safe in their own environment, so I give them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while respecting their individual needs and personality. I’m very reliable and responsible, and I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I’ll always make sure your pup is well cared for, has everything they need, and gets lots of love while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
About: I was a dog-mom for 8 years before losing my boy to cancer in June 2024. Believe me when I say, I love dogs more than I can put into words. They are a constant reminder of what is good and beautiful about this world and I truly do love them all like they are my own. I am exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled at caring for senior dogs with high medical, emotional and physical health needs as well as anxious dogs. While my dog was with me, he was under the care of a Naturopath, a GP vet, an Internal Medicine Specialist and a Cardiologist, and he attended biweekly Hydrotherapy sessions in early 2024. He also ate homecooked meals, under advisement from his Naturopath, before transitioning to speciality food. I am available to help in Coquitlam , Port Coquitlam and Port Moody so, drop me a line -- I can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby :) I work from home 3 days a week so, I can make time to walk your dog (within Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody) or, if you'd like, I would look after your dog in my home office while I work. I would look after your dog in my home office while I work. I have a small fenced yard for doggie potty breaks. With regard to doggie daycare, I'm looking to work with just one family at this time so that I can provide care for your fur baby with undivided and uninterrupted attention.
About: My name is Lynzie. I have been a passionate dog parent and caregiver for over 10 years, with experience handling dogs of all ages, sizes, and special requirements. My journey began with my very first rescue—a Weimaraner born with a disability, which taught me early on the deep patience, gentle handling, and specialized care every unique pet deserves. Over the years, I’ve opened my heart and home to many furry friends in need: Senior & Special Care: I have lovingly cared for a dog through their golden years up to age 17, as well as taken in a rescued senior Pomeranian who needed a quiet, attentive home. I’m very comfortable with senior pet routines, medication administration, and extra TLC. Multi-Pet Management: I am no stranger to managing a big fur family! At my peak—while pregnant with my son—I seamlessly cared for three large dogs and four cats all at the same time. Whether your pet needs playful energetic walks, patient care for physical limitations, or specialized attention for seniors, I bring decades of real-world experience and genuine love to treat your fur babies like my own family. I work from home with a highly flexible schedule (outside of my son's routines), which allows me to easily adapt my daily flow to accommodate your pet's needs and preferences. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal daily routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. Customized Routines: I strictly follow your instructions for feeding, walking, play, and specialized care. Home Security & Cleanliness: I respect your space as if it were my own. I keep the area clean, secure doors/gates/windows, bring in mail or packages, and ensure your home stays tidy and well-cared for. Communication & Peace of Mind: You’ll receive updates with photo and video reports at my each visit, so you always know how your fur babies are doing. Calm & Adaptable Care: With years of experience with pets of all temperaments, I take time to build trust naturally—never forcing interactions with shy or independent pets.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep empathy for animals and a unique skill set. I have extensive experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors from a young age. Additionally, I'm well-versed in providing gentle care and attention to senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My dedication to understanding each pet's individual needs and going the extra mile to make them feel loved and secure truly sets me apart. I work from home and working from home gives me extra free time to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring their well-being. I provide dedicated in-home pet care by following the specific instructions provided by the client. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, ensuring playtime and exercise, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for their pets. My goal is to create a stress-free and loving atmosphere for their furry companions while the client is away.
About: I had my own dog for 12 years & grew up with animals. I have looked after family/friend’s dogs. I love animals and they love me. 🐾 I currently work full time Monday-Friday, and work from home Thursday & Friday. I am available Friday - Sunday, and if needed Thursdays if desperate.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Coquitlam
Angela helped me take care of my dog while he was recovering from an injury. When I first met her I could tell right away she was very knowledgeable with dog behaviour and care as well as a true animal lover. My dog took to her immediately. She helped with leashed walks for my dog as well as administering medication. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was receiving attentive care while I was away from home. I will use Angela again for dog walking/dog visits and would highly recommend her to others.

Scott was a lifesaver. Flight cancellations left me stranded in Prince George for three days, and because I had recently moved, I didn’t have anyone nearby who could check on my dog. Scott had walked my dog a few times before, though it had been months since I last booked him. When I reached out, he came by first thing the next morning and fit in additional visits that day and over the following days. He made sure my dog had food and fresh water, and locked up securely after each visit. Scott is dependable, trustworthy, and kind. Knowing my dog was being cared for took a huge weight off my mind. I’m very grateful and would gladly book him again.

We have had such an incredible experience with Brenna! She is reliable, caring, and clearly goes above and beyond for our dogs. There have even been a couple of times when the app had issues with the lock/door access, and unfortunately I was away on vacation and wasn’t able to help. She handled everything professionally, reached out to our emergency contact, and made sure she was able to get in and take care of the dogs without any stress. She is communicative and trustworthy with our dogs.🥰
