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.

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.

“Iman was great with communication and being available last minute to care for our cat, Gus. We received regular updates which gave us peace of mind, would definitely recommend!”

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.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life as part of my family. I had my last best friend for 15 wonderful years and sadly had to say goodbye 2 years ago. I am not in a position to care for another dog full time at the moment so am looking to share my love of pets on a temporary basis and help other pet parents. I work permanent over night shifts and am up and about in the afternoons. I am quite active going for walks, runs and bike rides during this free time. I usually have 3 day weekends which could be spent with pets as well. I would care for anyone’s pet as if they were my own. With love and care and always with respect. Pets are part of a family.

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'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 there! I’m Cindy — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter who believes every dog (and cat!) deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood while their humans are away. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities — from high-energy puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care.I bring a calm, grounded presence (helped by my background as a yoga and mindfulness teacher!) that animals naturally respond to. I’m especially attuned to anxious or sensitive pets and take the time to build trust and connection so they feel safe and relaxed. I bring a calm, grounded presence (helped by my background as a yoga and mindfulness teacher!) that animals naturally respond to. I’m especially attuned to anxious or sensitive pets and take the time to build trust and connection so they feel safe and relaxed. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they can relax and feel secure. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routines — from feeding schedules to favorite nap spots — to make sure they feel at ease. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes for safety, and I keep a close eye on how your pet is feeling, both physically and emotionally.

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life, and in recent years have done extensive pet sitting and fostering. Most of my sitting experience was through Trusted Housesitters, and I can provide reviews/references. I’ve cared for dogs from the tiniest Pomeranian, to a Golden Labrador that could pass for a small horse. I also have experience with anxious and reactive dogs. I have also cared for cats with a huge range of dietary and medical needs, including super anxious cats, and cats who have not had previous human contact. I am patient, caring, and a genuine animal lover. I have provided screenshots of previous pet sitting reviews in my photos! I currently work in hospitality, so my schedule can be a bit random, but also flexible. I often work evenings so can usually be available for day time care. I’m also studying for a Masters remotely, so I tend to spend a lot of time studying from home, which gives me lots of time to keep your animals company! I will mostly be offering housesitting and day-time pet care, however I may be able to arrange pet-care in my own home on a case by case basis!

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: 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 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.

“Feena was such a wonderful sitter, so kind, caring, and attentive! She even took my pup for a walk during the check-in, which was so thoughtful. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”

“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: 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: 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: Hi there, my dog and best friend, Murphy, passed away in January, and I'm missing furry companionship and providing care. While I'm not ready for another dog of my own, I'd love to share my time and pet care skills temporarily, giving your dog a loving experience while you are away. I am experienced with all types of dogs and situations, and am able to take care of your furry family member in the way that best meets their needs. I understand separation anxiety, etc, and how difficult it can be to go away without them. I have a flexible schedule and, with enough notice, can plan to be with your dog 24/7 while you are away, so that they have constant companionship, exercise, and care. If my calendar doesn't quite have what you need dates-wise, just send me a message and I can often accommodate a bit before or after. With a pre-meet, I can learn what type of environment, activity, and care is best suited so that your dog's experience meets their needs and your expectations. Your peace of mind is my goal! I do ask for you to fill out a form about your pet's needs/personality prior to taking care of your beloved and at least 1 (ideally 2) meet and greets, so I can understand them better and ensure I'm a good match for their care:)

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.
