Dog Walking Mission

“Our family was thoroughly impressed with the Rover App and the ease and convenience that we were able to find a dog walker to look after our little Louie while we were away on the Christmas Holidays. What was even better than the App was the Dog Walker Vanessa that we selected. She was fantastic with Louie and communicated daily with us and my Mother to coordinate with her schedule. We could not have asked for a better walker for our dog, she was absolutely wonderful. We sincerely recommend her for anyone considering a dog walker 👍🏽”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a fun hike, or just some company while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I have experience with high-energy dogs (I have one myself 😅), so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and patience. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. You can expect reliable care, lots of love, and photo updates so you never miss a moment 🐾📸 I’ve been riding horses since I was five years old, i currently have 2 cats, a puppy, 2 goats, and a bunny so I am very comfortable with most animals. My daily routine revolves around caring for animals, and I genuinely love what I do. I’m flexible and available for drop-ins, walks, and in-home care throughout the week. Whether you’re at work or away on vacation, I’m happy to make sure your pets are cared for, exercised, and getting lots of attention. While I’m unable to host pets in my home (I have two cats and a very energetic puppy), I take pride in providing reliable, respectful care in your home where your pets are most comfortable. I treat every home and pet like my own—keeping routines consistent, following instructions closely, and making sure your pet feels safe and stress-free while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you’ll always get updates and photos!

“We have a mini Aussie, little anxious and stubborn. Charlie warmed up to her right away and he went for a walk with her. She is kind, patient and considerate and look forward to her looking after our Charlie. Thank you Victoria”

About: I am a life-long pet owner of both cats and dogs. I have personal and professional experience from kittens/puppies to sweet old guys/gals with medication needs. I am currently fully available 7 days a week. I have one dog of my own, and I am happy to do in-home care at my home after proper introductions, i also have a wide availability for single or multiple daily visits, walks, comfort check-ins, etc. The only thing I do not offer at this time is overnight care in your home, without my dog accompanying me. I live on a large property in a very spacious home with a fully fenced yard. I have a lovely dog park for off leash play a 2 minute drive away, and many beautiful safe areas near my home for on leash walks/hikes. In my house we love a good couch cuddle or bedtime buddy, but will always respect your wishes if you prefer to keep them off furniture. I am well versed in crate training and am happy to accommodate any age of dog in any stage of crate training, but I am not able to supply a crate. For cats, if preferred, I am able to offer overnight care in a private room in my home, but please keep in mind I do have a dog who loves cats, so her scent and sound will be smelled/heard from outside of that room.

About: Having had pets my whole life, I have come to love going on walks, cuddling on the couch and playing a great game of fetch. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, prefers the company of people over other dogs or anything in between, I will love them. I'm comfortable giving medication, feeding raw and following any structure or routine you have in place. I want your pet to be comfortable and safe so please reach out and I would love to meet you and your pet(s) I currently work full time but I have a pretty quiet personal life. I'm available pretty much any time outside of work to visit and spend time with your pets. I can follow schedules provided and help your pets maintain a routine they are used to. Just let me know how I can help them feel comfortable and safe. I can also send pictures or updates as needed.

About: I care for pets by following their regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep the home clean and secure. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and making pets feel loved and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have a flexible schedule and i can make time daily for walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and companionship. I follow each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and attention while ensuring their safety, comfort, cleanliness, and happiness. I would love your pets like mine

About: I have innate pet handling skills, and I have extensive experience in handling not only dogs but also exotic pets such as hedgehogs, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, praying mantises, horses. Also basic knowledge and experience in dog training. I am a mother of two children and I believe that every human being should grow up with a pet. I can take care of your pet at home as part of our family, at home it would be very comfortable and with the affection it needs from all the members of the family. Following the routine to which you are accustomed so as not to alter your normal activity. Care will depend on each client, always seeking their well-being, comfort and safety.

“Elise is fantastic. Highly reliable and took excellent care with my dog. Would recommend.”

About: I have owned dogs, cats, and birds since I was 10 years old. And I have had a deep connection to nature and its beautiful creatures for even longer. Animals have always seemed to naturally gravitate toward me, and I’m the guy at the social event you’ll find in the corner petting the dogs. I have been told I have “golden retriever energy”, so you know I can keep up with your more energetic animals. Walks will be daily, and dare I say your pet will have so much fun they won’t even miss you? (don’t worry though, daily updates will still be provided). I’ve been providing pet care to friends, family, and acquaintances for as long as I can remember… and now that I have more free time on my hands, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to branch out and offer my services to the masses. :) I’m currently a student with a schedule that is not too demanding. My 6 hour school days still allow me to ensure daily walks and lots of love and attention, are things you can count on I am incredibly responsible and respectful while I’m in your home, and will treat it like my own. Don’t be surprised if it is cleaner than you left it, as I like to keep my hands busy. I will pay extremely close attention to detail - if your pet is a runner, rest assured the gates will always be triple checked. If your pet has medical issues, medication will happily and carefully be administered as per your instruction. If your pet is anxious about your departure, extra care will be taken to ensure as much time spent in the home as physically possible.

About: I've grown up with dogs and helping take care of them since I was 8 years old. Grew up with labs, retrievers, and a pug! I've also dog sat different types of dogs, including a corgi and a great dane mix. I don't own any pets myself so I can focus on caring for yours! I have a flexible remote working schedule. I can have your pets with me while I work remotely - From my house or yours (I just would need wifi if working from your residence). I can offer potty breaks, walks, and play time. I have a big fenced backyard as well. I do have two young kids at home but I work downstairs and there is a door separating the upstairs and downstairs. The door would always be closed when I'm taking care of pets, to avoid the kids/pets being together. I have a big fenced backyard if providing services from my residence. I can also come to your residence to care for your pet. I don't have any pets of my own, so I can focus on your pet!

About: Hi! A little bit about me, I’ve been looking after family and friends dogs for over a year. I figured with the summer getting hotter and everyone busy I would love to help you and your furry loved ones get their walks and stay hydrated while your at work or vacation:) I’m currently working part time in Maple Ridge, but have 2 days off within the week always. The schedule is sometimes different but can always let you know ahead of time. I’m usually always free afternoons or after 6 I will always make sure to ask if there is any accommodations needed or rules before entering or leaving the property. Ex. If the the dog is allowed outside I will make sure if a fence needs to be locked or closed a certain way.

About: I have owned dogs and cats and farm animals since I was a kid I will love your pets as if they were my own. I am currently a stay at home mom of a 6 and 7 year old and they are in school full time and part time I have a very friendly dog, hikes that are on long leashes, daily photos and updates and even videos of your pups on hikes and other adventures

“Faith was the absolute best with my pup. She is responsible, passionate, and caring, qualities one looks for when entrusting someone to not only care for their family member, but entering their household. I am so lucky to have been able to work with Faith and definitely will be a returning customer. Thank you Faith and Thank You Rover!”

About: For as long as i can remember, I've always loved dogs. Pretty much all of my family members had them when I was growing up. But my mom always said no to me getting one. So everywhere I went, when I saw any dog I would always have to go out of my way to say hi to the puppy (I still do this to this day). As I got older I started to realize that everywhere i went, every dog that I would meet would come right to me for love, even if the dog was usually afraid of people. So I felt like I needed to do something with that. I have always had such a passion working with and being around animals. I have previously worked at a doggy day care for over a year, and I've also previously worked at mr pets in Abbotsford for over 2 years, being the main person taking care of all different types of animals. When your pets are in my care I will always show them nothing but love and compassion. I promise, your babies will be in amazing hands. I will play outside (if you have the space in your yard) with your puppies so they get all their energy out and I will take them on walks around your neighborhood (if leash trained) when house sitting or if asked to go for walks! Your babies will get the utmost attention and cuddles while they are in my care that I promise you will never have a thing to worry about. Whether I am coming to just take your dog out for a walk, to spend some time with them or to watch them while you are away, your babies will be very well taken care of. With lots of playtime, cuddles and exercise. ( I love all animals, so depending on what type of pet you have, we can work out prices for the animal(s) you'd need taken care of) 🐶🐱🐹🐭🦔🐇🐍🐦🐠🦜🦎 PLEASE READ. I have 5 cats of my own that are not dog friendly. So unfortunately I cannot dog sit at my house. But I am more than happy to come to your home and watch your fur babies. Please if you are interested in any animal care, feel free to message me to set up an in person meeting and great so I can meet you and your fur babies and we can proceed from there. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to spend with your fur babies, they will get the best of care with me. I unfortunately cant care for pets in my own home because of my cats, but I am more than happy to come to your home and take care of your babies. They will have my undivided attention while in my care and will get thr utmost amount of love.

“Juno was very happy to leave for his walk with Sheena and he came back ready to relax (Juno is a high energy boy and needs a good walk to tire him out). I could see that Juno felt comfortable with Sheena right from the start and we will definitely be booking future walks with Sheena.”

About: I have been a dog lover since I was small. I grew up with two dogs in the house at a time and was always the one who volunteered to care for them. Now that I have my own dog, I’ve enjoyed the training and socialization process. My dog and myself will benefit from us caring for and entertaining your fur baby! I’m currently working casually so I have very flexible hours for service. I only require a day or two of notice to prepare myself for babysitting. I’m an active person myself, so I love getting the pets I care for tired by taking them on hikes in the area! If dogs stay at my home, I have one female dog who loves to play and is very gentle.

“Never feel more comfortable before to left my babies with some until I meet Bobby, She is very responsable and a lovely person with Bella & Bailey. I totally recommend her. Thank you Bobby!”

About: I’ve been pet/house sitting for 2 years. My experience is mainly with dogs and cats. Although I have never had an animal of my own, I think it’s very important to create a bond between myself and the animals. My previous experience includes feeding, exercise, administering medication (oral and ear), playtime, and cleanup after accidents or spills. I just moved to the area from out of province so I’m still getting my bearings. As of right now, my schedule is clear for pet care every day except Sundays. I believe that if a pet is being cared for in their own space, it makes it easier to provide what they need. I have experience with house sitting in general, along with pet sitting. I will defer to the owners and follow their directions, especially when it comes to the state of their home and the trust they place in me to care for their pets.

About: .Note on my name: If you're seeing reviews under Wendy, that's my former legal name—I changed it to Maria in 2020. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! Hi! I'm Maria, a dedicated animal lover and pet care provider in Vancouver. I've owned dogs in the past and have plenty of hands-on experience babysitting and caring for pups of all ages and personalities. At home, I live with my two sweet, well-behaved girls who adore pets and are gentle with them. We're usually around and would love to welcome your furry family member into our home! I'm very accommodating and always prioritize the owner's wishes. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home like my own—shoes off at the door, prompt arrival/exit notifications via Rover Cards, and thorough cleanup of any messes (accidents included). What you can expect from me: Daily feeding and fresh, cold water Clean bowls and litter scooping (if applicable) Regular walks and plenty of playtime Light household chores while I'm there (e.g., tidying pet areas) Frequent check-ins and photo/text updates so you never miss a moment For shy, timid, or cautious pets, I take a gentle approach: slow introductions, treats, soft talking, and patience. If they're not ready to play right away, that's okay—we'll go at their pace. I'm an open book and happy to answer any questions or share more details! If your location is farther away, extra travel fees may apply—just let me know. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Message me anytime—I'm quick to reply and excited to help make your pet's stay wonderful. Your pet is in caring, responsible hands. 🐾 My schedule is arranged to prioritize my family's needs, including supporting my older children. Due to my daughter's ongoing fear of large dogs following a past incident, I am able to provide overnight pet sitting, boarding, and in-home care exclusively for small dogs and other animals (such as cats, small mammals, birds, etc.). For larger dogs, I am fully available and experienced in offering daytime services, including walks, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and drop-in check-ins. I prioritize each pet's comfort, safety, and routine while delivering reliable, compassionate care. I treat your pets as if they were my own, always following your specific wishes and preferences. All I ask is that you provide clear written instructions, along with any special tips, tricks, or routines that help your pet feel most comfortable and happy. While you’re away, I also take care of your home—handling dishes, laundry, tidying up, and keeping everything in good order. Your pet will receive plenty of playtime, affection, and attentive care. I promise they will be truly loved and well looked after. Throughout your trip, I’ll send you daily updates, photos, videos (when appropriate), and any questions that come up so you always feel connected and reassured.
