“We normally haven’t left our dogs with anyone we didn’t know, but Hannah looked after them for a couple weeks, and we returned to happy, healthy pets. And the house was in perfect shape.”

“Talia is amazing. Duke enjoyed his time with her and has a new buddy Finn. She sent us lots of pictures of all of them on theirs walking adventures and cuddles in the house. We will definitely be using her again! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pet!”

“Emma was attentive, coming for a meet and greet once we booked her. Our golden took to her right away. Emma sent a couple of pics while we were gone and everyone seemed happy then and when we got home. She remembered all the details. We wouldn’t hesitate booking Emma again. She was extremely responsive from start to finish.”

“Brianna is a lovely person who is easy to communicate with. Sophie was happy to see her and very comfortable and relaxed when I got back. It was easy to see she was well cared for. I will definitely have Brianna stay with Sophie and house sit again. I highly recommend her!”

About: "I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. My calm and nurturing approach helps pets feel comfortable and safe, making me more than just a sitter—I’m a trusted companion for your furry family members. I am a golf professional so between November and April, I have more time to myself and work sparingly. Pet sitting is perfect for me and for you and your pet(s)! We have an animal friendly home that is a stones throw away from a park with plenty of space for your pet to run and roam. There is a sizable sofa, a chair, bed all for them, too. Wooden floors so any messes aren't as troublesome as it would be on carpet.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 14, I have 3 of my own back home and have done dog sitting plenty over the years! Responsibilities include daily exercise, playing, feeding, grooming, and more! I am currently working casual, so I have plenty of time to look after and care for your dogs/cats! I am available typically Mon-Friday and sometimes Sundays!:) I can care for your fur babies at your home whichever way will work best for you!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was 10 years old and feel very comfortable with walking many types of dogs.

I work full-time Monday to Friday, I spend my evenings going for walks and would love to bring your dog with me! I do not work on the weekends so I have lots of availability for dog walking. I am a very respectful person who can follow instructions well, so I will be sure to keep your dogs routine. I understand dog behaviour so I will ensure they are comfortable and happy for the duration of our walk/time together.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to seniors needing a gentler touch. I have experience with obedience training, leash manners, and daily exercise routines. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work 7am–3:30pm on weekdays which leaves me plenty of time before and after work for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I keep a steady routine so every pet gets consistent care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, keeping their routines consistent and their days full of activity and attention. I’m lucky to have a beautiful trail near my home that’s perfect for walks, and open fields where dogs can safely play fetch and burn off some energy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and well cared for from start to finish.

“Kate was lovely throughout! We had a meet and greet and Henri was excited to get to know her. Communication was easy and responsive to get set-up. Everything went smoothly, Henri had a great time and she treated my home as it was her own! Would definitely recommend.”

About: Since I was a kid, I always had a lot of pets and grew up with them. My family did teach me how to love pets as we love people and appreciate good time with our pets. I have great experience living with dogs, mainly with Border Collies like my two babies that I had to leave on my family to come to Vancouver. Taking care of my pets since they were puppies, made me study positive dog training methods to learn how to understand them and how they understand us. In my opinion, they need to know how we love them in their languages, that's the minimum fair ♥️ I’m currently remote studying, so I have a lot of time to take care and spend with your pet! Once my studies has flexible schedules. First I will love to create the most trusty and respectfuly relationship with your pets and you. It affects how your pets will be comfortable with me and how we can increase the health care of them, as your tranquility that they are in good company. Depending on which service, I would like to know how you pet is used to their routine and respect it during my services.
“Hannah was wonderful in guiding us through our first Rover experience. We were nervous leaving our two dogs with someone other than family or close friends for the first time and Hannah reassured us every step of the way. She took the best care of our girls and updated us everyday with pictures. It is very apparent Hannah cares for the animals she looks after. She was professional and respectful of our home. We would not hesitate to book Hannah for our future dog sitting needs.”

“Val was absolutely wonderful with our 2 labs! She is conscientious and caring. Our buddies warmed up to her quickly. We won't hesitate to have her stay overnight in our home again. She really gave us the peace of mind needed for our short getaway.”
