Pet Sitting Lions Bay

About: I’m a West Vancouver dog enthusiast with Pet First Aid certification and hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. While I do not have formal professional dog-walking experience, I have spent years helping care for dogs belonging to family and friends, including energetic dogs, senior dogs, small companion dogs, cautious dogs, and strong protective breeds. I have cared for dogs during family events, vacations, camping trips, walks, and everyday visits. My experience includes taking dogs for multiple walks a day, feeding homemade meals, offering companionship, giving plenty of attention and belly rubs, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable while their families are busy or away. I’m patient, observant, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I understand that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and personality, and I always aim to provide care that feels calm, affectionate, and trustworthy. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while completing my online interior design studies. I’m based in West Vancouver, so I’m able to offer consistent local support for walks, check-ins, companionship, and care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so walks and visits feel less like an obligation and more like something I look forward to. I’m able to plan my day around a dog’s needs, whether that means regular walks, feeding routines, playtime, quiet companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. When caring for pets in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications or special routines if needed, and any house rules. I take time to make sure the pet feels safe, calm, and cared for, whether that means playtime, companionship, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I’m respectful of the home, keep things clean and secure, and make sure pets are never rushed or overwhelmed. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping their routine as normal and comforting as possible.

“Iman was absolutely fantastic with our cats. Even the shyest cat came out to see him. Great communication, punctual and reliable. We will definitely be asking Iman for help again. Do not hesitate to book him for any of your Pet needs. Thank you Iman. Five stars all the way!!!”

About: I have had 3 dogs my entire life, and have walked and cared for many of my friends and family’s pets, and many dogs in my community. I am home for the summer from college and am looking for some extra work. I am very flexible during the day, and enjoy staying active. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I keep a clean and calm environment, and give pets lots of attention and exercise.

About: I had a successful positive reinforcement dog training business in Vancouver for several years and now I live in Squamish. I held a CPDT-KA certification which I opted not to renew last year because I no longer teach classes. My own dog is 15 years old and can no longer enjoy a long trail walk with me, so I would like to help other dog owners meet their dogs’ needs. I am also certified in Pet First Aid. I work part time as an EA during the school year and am studying at Capilano University in Squamish to become a teacher. I have a very flexible schedule and the means to travel to do drop ins. I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I love to make them feel calm and happy. I really care about safety and stress management, so I prefer to walk dogs on leash (or a long line) and I usually bring a clicker and a treats so we can build up some positive behaviour.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and pets of all kinds my whole life, and more recently gained hands-on experience navigating senior care for my own dog, which required extra patience and regular medication. Since then, I’ve cared for a variety of dogs—from very small to very large, with all kinds of energy levels—and have come to love each one along the way. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with new pets. I currently have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules and can work any day of the week. I am happy to work my time around to best suit your needs. I care for pets in their home by respecting their routines, following instructions closely, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. I will prioritise your pets comfort and ensure your home is treated with care and respect.

About: Serving downtown Vancouver, Kitsilano area. Willing to commute as I do drive also. 🙏🏽 I’ve recently reactivated my account from 2019 while I was living in Kelowna. I currently am back to school studying for my nursing degree and want to lean back into what I love 🐾 🤍🙏🏼 I understand the amount of time it takes with animals and that’s why I am wanting to be in service to our community while I don’t have time to look after them full time while in school. I treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I have had experience with many breeds. Mostly Shepard’s since I was a child. I am very passionate and love all moments with animals. Let’s connect. I’m flexible and available :) My most recent experience have been dog sitting in people’s homes. I am aware of their needs and am able to adapt to instructions you have for your pets. I enjoy taking them out and will do safely. I am experienced with training and raising dogs since I was young. I work as a nurse in the community and overall my passion lies to be of service for people and Animals. If references are needed I would be happy to provide. Let’s connect :) I am currently off from school until I go back in September part time. My plan is to not have many clients but instead few consistent clients that I can be reliable and help w your fur animals. I’m willing to continue to be available as you would need and if it works out with your pets and your specific routine. I would follow the guidance and instructions you would have set for each animal, communicate as needed. I would ask questions if I was unsure or required clarity.

“I needed to extend my cat care bookings with Sofia and she was very accommodating. Friendly, responsive and overall great first time experience using Rover with her.”

About: I’ve been helping my friends’ dogs for past few years. From small to medium sized dogs, I always find ways to have a fun time and take care of them. I have a very flexible schedule that can accommodate to your pet needs! Day or night, weekday or weekend, I can be there to help. I have a car so I can get to where I need to be quickly. I always check for hazards to ensure your pet is safe from endangering itself. I look for possible entries and exits to know where your pet can run off to or hide, ensuring I can keep track of possible scenarios.

About: Growing up in rural Scotland, everybody had a dog. Their playful, energetic, loyal and loving nature installed a very special connection in me from a very young age. I’m looking to meet some lovely dogs, and hopefully take them on some lovely walks and hikes! Also very happy to house sit and chill with them, and have them over in my house. I’m currently in Vancouver on a working holiday visa from Scotland. I have a very flexible schedule and only work part time. I live a very active lifestyle. I have had my own border collie for over 10 years now. Collies are very high energy dogs so I take him for lots of long walks and hikes. Always up to take a dog on a big walk! Many of my friends have much calmer breeds, so I’m also experienced with much calmer and smaller dogs too.

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience caring for pets of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy the time I spend supporting their daily routines. I’m gentle, patient, and take care to build trust so each pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. I’m happy to assist with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, and basic grooming, always following the schedule and preferences shared by pet parents. I understand that every companion is unique, and my goal is to ensure they feel calm, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have full availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time caring for pets. This allows me to be flexible with schedules and provide consistent attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or boarding at any time while maintaining each pet’s routine and comfort. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I carefully follow instructions shared by pet parents, including routines, boundaries, and preferences. I provide supervised playtime and have a variety of toys and activities to keep pets mentally and physically engaged throughout the day. I prioritize cleanliness, close supervision, and a low-stress setting, and I’m always happy to adjust care arrangements to ensure every pet feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hello, I’m Melissa! I have 12+ years experience working with pets. While I was in university, I supported myself by dog sitting and dog walking. I now have my own dog - a sweet rescue named Cedar. She is occasionally shy with other dogs but does not have any issues with them. We live in the West End, close to great dog parks and beaches. We love to hike, so if your dog stays with me they will get plenty of exercise! I am a teacher who is off for the summer so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I am available for frequent potty breaks and enjoy doing one longer walk each day. During the school year, I have more availability on long weekends and school breaks. I am still happy to dogsit during the work week! I live in an apartment close to the dog beach, the seawall, and many parks. I am also available for drop in walks and care.

About: I have worked with dogs my whole life. I have dog sat and am comfortable with dogs of all ages sizes, abilities, and temperaments! I’ve handled pet emergencies with calm and purpose. I am totally comfortable with multiple dogs at a time. I also can adapt to any special routine or diet. I had my own dog for 13 years and was often her primary caretaker through thick and thin! I am willing to fit whatever routine you need me to in to my schedule! I would prefer one that works around a 9-5 work schedule, but am totally willing to adapt. I can feed pets, and adjust to any specific diet. I can do long or short walks. I love playing with pets and giving them whatever attention they need. I am also willing to adapt to any training you need set in place. For cats, I am totally willing to clean litter boxes!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 11, starting out my volunteer at an animal welfare centre in Ireland and walking plenty of dogs! I also had a small dog walking business and helped to care for my neighbours and family friends’ dogs. Of course, I also look after my own dog, Oscar who I absolutely adore :) I’m currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to invest in caring for your pets. I am available both weekdays and weekends and would be happy to accommodate pet owners schedules. Also, more than happy to do early morning walks if that is what your dog requires :) I absolutely love spending time with dogs and would love to keep your dog company and stimulated. I am happy to accommodate whatever your pets needs may be such as long walks, lots of fetch and of course plenty of cuddles :)

About: I am happy when I am surrounded by animals and nature. I feel like I can truly connect with animals, especially with cats. I love dogs very much as well. In the past, I had two cats on my own and took care of my roomate‘s & friend‘s 2 dogs for over 2 years. I cared for them like they were my own. I don’t have a job at the moment, so I am quite flexible for pet & housesitting as long as it is not too far away from my home. I will care for the pets like they were my own. I will follow the instructions and respect the needs of the client. I will do my best to give the pet its best time and all the love while their parents are away, so that they don’t miss them too much.

About: I've been caring for dogs my whole life. When my family adopted a grey wolf / German shepherd mix, she became my guardian and best friend (see second photo). I love larger breeds (although teensy lil scaredy dogs are a speciality of mine, too!). I'm the perfect mix of loving and clear, dogs know who's boss. 😎 I am a graphic designer and dance instructor. I work from home most days, sometimes in the evenings and occasionally travel for larger events. My schedule is a bit all over the place, but I'm generally home M-F 9-5. I live in a medium sized apartment with no other pets. We have a large, unfenced yard, and live one block from a dog park. There is room for a crate, but it's my preference to have dogs free roam around with me.

About: Hi I'm Fiona! Ever since I was little I was always ready to take care of my neighbours dogs and cats whenever they went on vacation so I have tons of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether that means spending time playing in the lawn, cuddling up on couches, daily check-ins or adventurous walks! I have spent many weeks caring for my best friends two large dogs, one puppy and one senior, my neighbours little energetic fur baby and many more! I am currently a university student enjoying my summer break! I am available anytime from Monday to Sunday to care for your adorable dogs or cats! I love running around parks and playing fetch, going on slow leisurely walks through the park or giving really good belly rubs and scratches. I love an energetic little pal or a leisurely paced senior!

About: My name is Grace and I am here to help you on your pet sitting needs. My ideal preference is drop-ins since I have pets of my own! I work as a RVT so I have lots of experience, and the ability to give meds. I grew up with and work with large dogs, so no dog is too big, and working in this field showed me that I love cats, so I can’t pick, I’m a dog and cat person. Happy to do a 15 minute complimentary meet-up so we can chat and you can get to know me and I can meet your lil stinker! If you see this an you are looking for small pet care (Guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, etc) I would also love to do a daily drop in- message me! My schedule varies each week, so shoot me a message and we can make sure that the date and time works for us both. . I love to do drop ins because pets are the happiest in their own homes. I also like to do the complimentary meet up so that the first time your pet meets me it’s with the owner, so they can see to trust me/I'm not a stranger. I always, always follow the animals behaviour, it’s the best way for them to learn to trust you.

About: Do you need an animal-lover to give your pet the time and attention they deserve? I can provide devoted care for your pet whether it be just a walk or a longer term overnight stay.

My schedule is flexible and dedicated entirely to trust and relationship-building with your pet, providing ample long walks and creating a safe, comfortable environment by using a discerning, accommodating approach. I am fully-vaccinated and continue to value covid-safety. My house is very spacious with bright bay windows, cozy indoor pet-friendly spaces and a large, fenced yard. I listen to calming classical music at home and when I venture out for trails or park walks, I have a Honda Element which is truly the most ideal vehicle for pet transport! I thoroughly enjoy nurturing the pets in my community:) Loving your pet is my priority and my dedicated routine with 24 hr. special attention to ensure their needs, their emotional and physical comfort and their safety. I am happy to either come stay at your house or host your pet at my home! I have spacious pet-safe indoor spaces to explore and a large fenced yard where we can play with a ball and exercise!

About: Avid lover of animals, I have spent summers with horses, been owner of a dog and 2 cats. I have experience with rescue dogs, as I was walking them for a rescue center, back home in Montreal, Quebec. Lately, I also took care of my friend’s dog for 7 months (24hrs/24) while she was out of the country. Im happy to call Squamish my new home and I would love to contribute to the community. I work remotely on my computer, for Heart & Stroke Foundation. My schedule is Monday to Friday 7AM to 3h30PM so I am flexible to help you out. I am active, positive, considerate, patient and disciplined. If I’m not working, I’m outside, hiking, camping, sailing or skiing. Happy time for me is dog time. Can’t wait to meet your furry friends ! I am free during lunch time to walk 30 to 45 minutes and also after work at 3h30pm. We have the Squamish river near by and the dogos love to discover the trails around. I will send few pictures or videos through the day. I am the kind of person who will ask questions if needed but I’m pretty resourceful. I will share as much possible information requested from the owner if needed.

About: Pets like cats, rabbits, and other animals are welcome. I volunteered with Pads for six months and fostered shelter animals to help more pets find homes. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and more. I respect pets' emotions and thoughts. Since childhood, I've enjoyed playing with my family's dog and cat and caring for them. Each pet has a unique personality. I love caring for pets and will give them all the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. Pets can sense the energy around them, so it’s important for a caregiver to be positive. I love seeing pets happy and healthy, which makes this job fulfilling. 😊❤️ If you're booking for the first time, ask me for the promotion code. I’m free usually every day, 7 days a week😊. I have free time to give your dog company and exercise. I like to jog with the dog. Enjoy delicious food, fun playtime, exercise, soothing massages, cozy cuddles, and of course, important potty breaks and restful nap times! I hope your pet is happy and safe here!
