“We had a great experience with Hope walking Loba. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Loba enjoyed the walks and came back happy and relaxed. Knowing that she was taking such good care of our dog gave me peace of mind while I was at work. We would definitely recommend her and book again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I also have professional experience working with animals, which has made me comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m attentive, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have availability for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting on select weekdays and weekends. I keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always be able to see when I’m available to care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog at home, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule and care instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take introductions slowly and can keep pets separated when needed. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision and care while they’re with me.
About: About 5 years ago, my family and I added a new member to our family. My life changed ever since that day. I never knew love for animals could grow this big but here we are. I think every dog deserves this type of love and I am here to provide that. I’m currently working part-time and am not in school so my schedule is VERY flexible and free. I am also willing to make all necessary adjustments to please my clients. ☺️ I have a pup at home, so I am very used to that fur baby lifestyle. All equipment needed is required in my service apart from collars or harnesses due to different sizing for different doggies.
About: To say, I have a mad love affair with dogs is the start of an award-winning poem I've only ever imagined. Dogs will always be puppies no different than my 25-year-old nephews who remain my babies. I trained my cairn/tibetan cross off-leash, paraded hallways with her doing pet-therapy, traveled across oceans with her, explored raw diets with her, and taught myself holistic alternatives to relieving canine discomforts like itchy skin, poor appetite, UTI, kennel cough, anxiety, liver issues No matter my expertise, your dog is your dog. If you say no table scraps, your dog gets none. If puppy needs to eat at 4, they're eating then. And, if the dawg is ever uncomfortable, you'll know ASAP and you'll advise our next steps. I work from home, most often. Walking & caring for K9s is absolutely a part of my routine. I'm very much into holistic doggie care, agility & behavior training, pet nutrition. Host of a 360 dog wellness podcast THISisDog! I clip toe nails, bathe doggies, groom them, train them to respond to basic commands, including recall They are loved indoors and out. Their paws are wiped, bellies are fed, ears are rubbed, eyes are cleaned. They are walked and chased in our yard, at dog runs. And, finally, to lessen the separation anxiety and increase the fun quotient on this vacation (they may not yet be aware of!), I'd love you to bring -your dog's favorite bed or blanket they call home, - food & water bowls, - a paw cloth for those muddy hikes, - favorite 'you deserve this" treat, and of course, - their food & meds
About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve cared for my two cats for the past nine years and also previously had a dog, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and understand their different needs and personalities. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I take the time to follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions rather than assuming every animal needs the same type of care. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can plan my day around scheduled visits, walks, feeding times, or check-ins and make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also available for both regular weekly care and occasional care when owners are away or need some extra help. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other instructions provided. Safety is always a priority. I pay close attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that could affect a pet’s well-being. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and allow them to approach me at their own pace. My goal is for owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet and home are being treated with care and respect while they’re away.
About: Hello! I'm probably one of the biggest dog lovers out there! My eyes light up when I see them! I've grown up having family dogs of all sizes from pomeranians to great danes. I've volunteered in dog rescue centers in Thailand, been a babysitter to countless pets around the world and have worked at a doggy daycares in Vancouver. I've been a dog walker, taking up to 7 dogs on hikes. I love learning about dog behaviour and getting better at dog training. I have two dogs of my own, Belle and Ivy. We adopted Belle as a small sick puppy, she's now full of life and the love of my life. We rescued Ivy from a very hard life in Arizona, she's a shy girl but she has come such a long way in our family. Can't wait to meet your furry family members! If i work out of the house, it's only for a few hours at a time. The majority of the time, my husband or I are home. We hate leaving our pups alone for too long. I love walking, so daily walks are always provided, rain or shine. And we make time for cuddles and play time no matter what. Dogs are treated like kings and queens at our house. It's more their house and we just happen to live here to serve them. I know every dog has different needs, and I am always respectful of their boundaries. If they wants cuddles, it's exactly what they'll get. If they prefer to he left alone, that is fine also!
About: I have been taking care of animals every since I was very young. I have always had cats present in my home. I have been walking dogs every since I was 10. It was always the highlight of my day. I love taking care of dogs, and have been pet sitting friends dogs for years now. Very well experienced pet sitter and dog walker. I currently work a hybride full time-job. I have a lot of flexibility and can take them on a walk or care for them at any time of the day. I have a fenced yard, and currently have a very friendly cat living at my home. I love spending time with pets, playing with them or taking them on walks
About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.
About: Malheureusement je ne peux pas avoir de chiens à la maison, mais j'aime bien les chiens qui ont besoin de bouger. Les chiens qui aiment les grandes marches et qui aiment jouer ne s'ennuieront pas avec moi et seront probablement épuisés avant moi! À l'adolescence, je m'occupais à l'occassion des chiens de 1-2 voisins lorsqu'ils partaient en vacances. Je travaille de la maison 3 jours par semaine, cela peut donc donner plus de flexibilité lors de ces journées. Autre j'essaie de réserver mes week-ends à la famille, donc habituellement moins de disponibilités ces jours-là. J'ai un chat à la maison, qui ne sort dans ma cour cloturée que sous supervision (il est trop peureux de toute façon pour sortir seul).
About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was 5 years old! I absolutely adore all dogs— all shapes, breeds and sizes🐾 My grandfather has taught me a lot about dogs, he went to dog training and dog school for years. My mom followed along in his footsteps… owning dogs for most of her life. I have a 13lbs Cotton de Tulear that I love with all my heart. She is my everything, my world, my universe… (I’m sure you can understand my craziness here lol). I have thought my dog to walk off leash everywhere (streets, parks, with other dogs, etc). I trust her with my life and I know she trusts me equally as much. I will take care of your precious doggies/kittens as my very own little baby🥹 I speak English & Français! I’m currently working part time as a licensed hairdresser so I have lots of free time to give to your lovely fur babies! My availabilities are pretty flexible, just message me, we can work something out😁 I currently have 3 babies at home— a dog, a cat and a bird! I always ensure my home environment is safe and cozy for them🫶🏻 Before leaving for work, I fluff up their blankies and put on some relaxing meditation music so they feel safe and comforted once I leave the house. I have many coats/sweaters/boots of different variations for multiple weather temperatures to accommodate my baby so she can walk rain, snow or shine (even though she rather not get her feet wet in the rain🤣🥲) If your dog has any sensitivities, health conditions or allergies please let me know! I take your dogs health and wellbeing as an absolute priority🚨
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs / cats of my own, and for my family and friends, I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all sizes and personalities. From daily walks to energetic playtime, I love helping dogs stay active, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable handling feeding routines, giving plenty of attention, and making sure every dog feels safe and loved while their owners are away. Walks are one of my favorite parts of the job—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer stroll to burn off energy. Your dog will get lots of playtime, exercise, and affection with me. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! Originally from the UK, I speak English and classroom level French. My availability is very flexible at the moment and I have lots of free time! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs for family and friends, and I truly enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Walks and playtime are some of my favorite parts of pet care, and I make sure every dog gets plenty of fresh air and fun. I live near plenty parks/ green spaces, perfect for regular dog walks and outdoor play.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, which sparked my passion and provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. My family cared for dogs (2), cats (2), rabbits (1), hamsters (3), birds (10+), and fish (10+). I even practiced horseback riding as a child, gaining experience in stable maintenance and saddling horses. Over the years, I’ve worked in various animal focused settings, including shelters, pet shops, and dog boarding centers, accumulating over 8 years of professional experience. In 2021, I founded Passion for Paws, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rehoming dogs through a foster-based system. As the Founder and CEO, I work to provide exceptional care to every dog that comes into our organization, treating them as if they were my own. Families trust me to care for their beloved pets when they can no longer do so, and I help find those pets loving forever homes. I also hold a certification in dog obedience and behavior and have intermediate knowledge of animal healthcare, particularly with dogs and cats. I have hands on experience administering medications, addressing behavioral needs, and providing specialized care for a wide range of animals. Caring for animals is my life’s passion, and I am confident I can provide your furry family member with the love and care they deserve! As the CEO of my own organization, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and work primarily from home (about 85% of the time). This allows me to easily adapt my routine to accommodate your pet's needs. In addition to this flexibility, I am a highly structured, dedicated, and active individual, ensuring that your pet will receive the attention, care, and lifestyle they deserve. The care I provide for your pet will be tailored to their unique profile and specific needs. I will ensure they receive the appropriate amount of physical and mental stimulation based on their activity levels. My goal is to keep your pet fulfilled, relaxed, and genuinely happy while you are gone.

Hope is a wonderful, caring dog walker. She has a wealth of experience and immediately made me feel comfortable in trusting her with my dog. Moop always has a good time and comes back tired, and I love seeing the pictures and anecdotes in her report cards. Thanks, Hope!
