“Iris is absolutely FANTASTIC. Took such good care of our yellow lab Beau. Spoiled him with lots of beach walks, cuddles and playing in the yard. Iris sent us lots of pictures and updates and made us feel so comfortable. I cannot recommend Iris enough and will definitely be asking Iris back for our next vacation.”

About: I have taken care of many family and friends’ pups and kitties for years. While I don’t have my own pets, I love other people’s animals like they are my own. I work Eastern time so I’m always available early afternoon and evenings. Since I am always home and don’t have any of my own pets, I specialize in caring for dogs with high needs and senior dogs. My home is calm and a good environment for nervous/anxious dogs. I have a fenced back yard. Lots of walking trails and dog parks nearby to keep us active and having fun! I am also happy to go to your home.

“Excellent! We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Na provided for our little dog Blu. She was attentive to all Blus needs like feeding, baths, exercise and love. She gave frequent updates and even some videos!! She also took good care of our home and some plants. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Na again.”

About: Hi there, pet parents! 🐾 Are you looking for a warm, loving friend to keep your fur baby company? I know how tough it is to be away from your little one, and I’m here to make things easier for both of you! ❤️ I promise to send you plenty of updates and cute photos, so you’ll feel like you're right there with us. 📸✨ I'm super flexible and easygoing, so you can relax knowing your baby is in safe, happy hands. I’ll shower them with love and attention until their tail won't stop wagging! 🐶🐱 If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Just hit me up! I can't wait to meet you and your adorable baby soon. See ya! 😉 I work part-time at a dental clinic from 9 AM to 6 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available and flexible for pet care. This means I can provide morning care before work, evening care after work, and full attention on my days off. I always make sure pets receive consistent love, exercise, and companionship around my schedule. In Your Home:I respect your space and carefully follow your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. I can provide feeding, litter cleaning, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and clearly instructed), and companionship. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured. Every pet is different, so I adjust my care depending on their personality, energy level, and needs.

About: ❥ We’re Tianna and Tyler, a loving couple from Richmond. We’re the kind of people who get ridiculously excited when a pet wants to play or decides it’s cuddle time 🐶 ❥ Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and we’re happiest when we’re around them! Tianna grew up surrounded by dogs and has continued caring for friends’ pups as an adult, while Tyler was a proud cat daddy to his own kitty for over 17 years. ❥ Together we have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, from everyday feeding + walks to keeping them entertained or just giving them company. We bring a very attentive and genuinely enthusiastic approach to pet care. We’re also happy to reinforce basic training, such as simple commands & habits already introduced by their owners. ❥ We absolutely adore the fun energy of playful youngsters just as much as the companionship of affectionate cuddle bugs, gentle seniors, and shy sweethearts! Getting to know each pet’s personality and discovering what makes them happy is one of our favourite parts of caring for them. We’re especially patient with those who need extra time to warm up, giving them the space to build trust naturally. ❥ We take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home with us. More than anything, we want every furry guest to feel like a cherished member of the family. Sharing those sweet everyday moments is what makes pet sitting so special to us! 🐾 ❥ We love welcoming furry companions into our everyday lives and making room in our days for their care! Tianna works from home when her schedule allows, and we share responsibilities so our little friends can enjoy plenty of attention and loving company. ❥ We know how reassuring a familiar routine can be when pets are spending time with someone new. Learning about their usual feeding times and favourite activities helps us plan their care around the rhythm they're used to! ❥ Our schedules are fairly flexible depending on our commitments, although pets may occasionally be on their own for around 1–3 hours when we're both out. We're always happy to chat about your pet's needs beforehand so we can make sure the arrangement feels right for everyone ❣️ ❥ Our pet-friendly Richmond apartment has no resident pets, and we primarily board cats and smaller dogs. Before confirming a stay, we like to make sure our space is a good fit for each furry guest. ❥ We’re happy to accommodate familiar beds or crates & discuss their usual sleeping arrangements beforehand. We only welcome up to two pets from the same household at a time, so your little ones won’t be sharing their stay with animals from another family. ❥ When caring for pets in their own homes, we treat your space with the same respect we’d want for ours. We carefully follow your household instructions and pay attention to doors + exits whenever we arrive or leave. If anything unexpected comes up, we’ll communicate promptly and keep you informed about your little one 💓

“We are so grateful to have found Hong as our home/pet sitter. He seamlessly blends into our household and our pets lives leaving them and us feel everything is happy and content. We truly appreciate the regular and thoughtful updates. And as a visual artist the photos/videos he sends are second to none! A true delight to review at the end of each day of our travels.”

“Samia was wonderful with my Senior Chihuahua. Zoey takes a few medications and is a very tiny dog with special attention needs and our experience was excellent. Samia stayed at the house and communicated with us daily. She provided pictures and experiences that gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her services.”

About: In addition to loving and training my own dog, I have over a year of experience volunteering to train service dogs. Through the timespan of a couple years my little apartment has seen over 10 dogs in training. I would love to help sit your furbaby too! Can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently working full time and slowly changing my work schedule. I’m available to house sit and check in on your pets in the weekday evenings and weekends while you are away! I live in an apartment with 1 dog. I can create a fenced area or crate your dog if desired. I’m happy to come to your home and follow your instructions on how to care for your pet!

“Wonderful caring sitter for our dogs and home. We feel so fortunate to have Christine and her daughter look after Bob and Jewel while we are away. Highly recommend both for your loved pets and your home if needed”

About: I have always had pets since I was young: hamsters, fishes, dogs, you name it! After being best friends with a shih tzu and a malti-poo, I just know my heart is set on dogs! 😄 I am patient, caring, neat, and very active. (I love going out for walks!). I currently work as a flight attendant, with days off stretching between 2 days to as long as 7 days. What’s a better way to spend my days off other than taking care of paw friends? I have pet sitted family dogs and always ensure they are well-fed, clean, and have gone on physical activities. I also love cuddling with them and giving them all the belly rubs they deserve!

“Mary was so sweet and kind with my dogs! She checked in with photos to keep me up to date and left my place even tidier than when I left! I will be booking with her again.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with Labrador retrievers, cats and other small animals. Growing up I worked in a pet hospital, which gave me experience being around animals with different personalities, temperaments and care needs. I have also worked at the horse stables caring for horses and have volunteered at the BCSPCA. I'm a life-long animal lover and currently have a Great Dane x Mastiff mix of my own. My dog can be reactive so I have experience navigating walks calmly, recognizing triggers, reading body language, creating distance when needed and being aware of our surroundings. I understand every dog has their own personality and comfort level. I'm patient with dogs who are nervous, shy, excitable or need a little extra space, and I'm happy to follow the routines, commands and walking techniques that work best for your dog. I genuinely enjoy walking and spending time with dogs and my goal is to make their time with me relaxed, safe and fun! Whether your dog wants a big adventure, a leisurely sniffari or simply some company and snuggles, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I'll care for your pet with the same patience and affection I give my own big guy. I work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I wanted to join Rover as a way to spend more time with animals, get outside and be more active while doing something I genuinely enjoy! Due to my own dog being dog selective, I am not currently offering pet care in my home. I’m happy to provide walks, visits and house sitting in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, walking guidelines and house rules as closely as possible. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort and individual needs. I will also be respectful of your home and treat both your pet and your space with care.

“Liz stayed in our home and watched our Pomeranian named Skyler. He definitely has issues with strangers but Liz got him to warm up immediately. Liz also did a great job of communicating with me and sending pictures of Skyler while we were away. I definitely recommend Liz, and I will be using her again!”

About: I've had cats since I was 8. I used to take care of abandoned kittens and help them to survive until they were adults. I also took care of my friends' dogs when they were away and taught them some commands. When I was living in Turkey , I adopted 2 kittens and lived with them for 6 years now they live with family as I moved to Vancouver recently. I'm working part time at a farm but I live in Vancouver and doing art at home. most weekends free and would like to feel a company at home when I'm alone. I am very responsible and a clock is ticking in my head to pay enough attention , feeding on time, potty on time and playing with them makes me feel I am doing something useful in my life. Toys and litter box is provided, but I prefer to use the specific food each pet is consuming according to their own diet and habits.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. From fostering dogs in need, raising and training my own puppies to rescuing and adopting companions while providing patience, calming reassurance and dependable care in a peaceful and loving home. I am currently working part time, and pet care is already part of my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they receive the care, exercise and companionship they deserve. I strongly believe that all animals should be cared for both physically and emotionally at home. What I do to meet their needs in my home: * Providing fresh water at all times and making sure they are fed healthy meals that coincide with weight, age, and food intolerances. * Encourage 15 minute training sessions (involves delicious treats) 1-2x a day for mental stimulation and consistency. * Puppy proofed. I have created a safe space where dogs are free to roam. No access to toxic plants, sniffing out cleaning products, chewing on electrical cords, and/or small objects they could swallow. * Big, comfy beds and/or couches for a place to rest, where they can feel secure. * Maintaining a routine for meals, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and bedtime. Dogs thrive on routine! * Toys, toys toys! Puzzle feeders, sniffing games, and interactive play. * Groom regularly by brushing their coat, trimming nails, cleaning ears when needed, and brushing their teeth. * Using positive reinforcement when redirecting and correcting. I reward good behaviour with yummy treats, praise, belly rubs and/or play time instead of punishing mistakes. * Socialize appropriately with people, other dogs, and new environments to build confidence and good manners. * Monitor their health for changes in appetite, energy, drinking, bathroom habits, and/or behaviour. * Give them attention and affection. Dogs are social animals and need companionship, interaction, and love to thrive. * Respect their individual needs. Every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and comfort zone. I have a fenced yard and a dog park across from my house. Your dog will always have a furry friend to play with or if they prefer alone time, that’s fine too :) I also make my own dog and bake homemade dogs treats as well. So, if your pup is on a strict diet or is on medication- I’m no stranger to feeding them healthy and nutritious meals and/or administering their medications.

“Samiksha took amazing care of Dexter, taking him to the beach multiple times and keeping me updated throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands!”

About: My love for animals has been a lifelong journey. I have been surrounded by pets since I was born, and they have always been an important part of my life and family. Growing up with animals taught me to understand their unique personalities, needs, and the special bond they share with their humans. As a devoted dog mom for more than 16 years, I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience, comfort, and specialized care. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the physical and emotional needs that pets have throughout their lives. After saying goodbye to my beloved dogs, I decided to dedicate my time to caring for other pets with the same love, attention, and commitment that I gave my own. I understand that pets are not just animals; they are cherished family members. My goal is to provide them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel happy, understood, and cared for while you are away. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, medication support, or simply extra affection, I will treat them as if they were part of my own family. I am committed to ensuring they receive the care, respect, and love they deserve, giving you peace of mind knowing they are in caring and experienced hands. I'm a software analyst who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets throughout the day. Animals have been a part of my life since I was born, and sharing my days with pets has always brought me joy, comfort, and companionship. I believe that exercise is one of the best parts of the day, and taking your dog for a walk is the perfect opportunity to boost my energy while filling my heart with happiness. Whether it's a leisurely stroll, an active walk, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy being outdoors with pets and helping them stay happy and healthy. At home, I enjoy cooking healthy meals, reading, and relaxing with a good TV show. One of the things I miss most since my beloved dogs passed away is the comforting presence of a pet by my side. That's why I treasure every opportunity to care for animals, whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon together. Your dog's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a warm, loving, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel right at home. My home features a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I am fortunate to have several beautiful parks nearby where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and exercise. The residential complex is pet-friendly, quiet, and secure, making it an ideal setting for dogs to relax and feel comfortable. Inside my home, pets are treated like family. They are welcome to rest on the couch, explore the house freely, and find their favorite cozy spot. Since I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether your dog enjoys active walks, belly rubs, cuddle time, or simply relaxing beside someone, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a home away from home where your dog receives the same love, respect, and attention they receive from you.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a German Shepherd who I raised from just 2 months old until he was 10. I also cared for another German Shepherd and a Belgian Shepherd from around 6 months old until they were 3. They were a huge part of my life, and I spent countless hours with them at my family’s country house—feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and simply keeping them company. Leaving my home country was especially difficult because it meant leaving them behind, and I still miss them very much. Those experiences are a big part of why I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs. I know how much they mean to their families, and I treat every dog I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I’ll be doing Rover together with my girlfriend, so your dog will have two people giving them plenty of care, attention, and company. We both love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring, or simply relaxing together. I believe the best pet care is when your pet barely notices you’re gone. We’ll do our best to keep their usual routine, whether that means their normal walk, dinner right on time, playing when they’re energetic, or simply hanging out when they want some company. Every pet is different, and we’re happy to let them set the pace and make themselves comfortable. Flexible enough to work around your pet’s routine, because it’s easier to care for an animal when you’re not trying to convince them to adapt to yours. I have a spacious, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can relax and play. I’ll follow their usual routine, including walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention, so they feel comfortable and at home.
