“Angela took care of our 2 cats while we were away and we couldn't be happier. She was great with the cats, and both of them took a real liking to her, which really made us feel at ease while we were away. She's also very responsive and always kept us updated which was really reassuring. We definitely plan on working with her again.”

About: I have experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions, and understand their unique needs. Whether it's providing extra care for seniors or simply offering loving companionship, I ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved. What sets me apart is my deep empathy and understanding of the bond pets share with their owners, having been through the full journey with my own pets—from puppyhood to saying goodbye to a beloved senior. You can trust me to provide the thoughtful, compassionate care your pet deserves. I’m currently working a casual job, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I can offer attentive care throughout the day, ensuring your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. In your home, I prioritize creating a safe and familiar environment for your pet, following your routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, exercise, or any special care your pet needs. I make sure to keep their space safe, with all potential hazards managed, and offer lots of attention and companionship. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you, knowing your pet is in a trusted and caring environment while you're away.

About: Hey there! I’ve grown up in the Vancouver area and always love getting outside. Animals have surrounded me since I was little and I wouldn’t have it any other way! From chickens to horses... I love them all. I have several years experience working with dogs in many different settings. I currently work full time but am able to set my own schedule, therefore I can be flexible to your schedule (and the pups). I absolutely love animals and treat anyone’s beloved friend as if they were my own. I am happy to walk, run or sit... depending on your pooch!! Any special instructions (likes to be called boo boo, extra belly rubs, treats or scratches behind the ear scratch be accommodated) I look forward to meeting you, and your best friend!

About: I've been a pet owner most of my life. After my 13-year-old dog passed last year, I missed having animals. Pet sitting is the next best solution for me at this time. I'd be happy to discuss how I might be able to help you step away and take a break while I provide your furry family member with an abundance of snuggles and care. I work remotely, which provides me with a flexible schedule. I'm an active person who enjoys getting outside regularly. I'm happy to walk your dog as many times as you would like. When pets are in my care, they are my number one responsibility. I believe it's best to keep the routine that your pet is already familiar with. That said, I meet with my client and understand the unique care plan for their pet. My schedule is flexible and can easily adjust based on the care plan for each home.

About: What makes us different is that we're a mother-and-son team who genuinely love animals and understand the important role they play in our lives. My son, Aidan, is a responsible adult on the autism spectrum who enjoys taking our Golden Retriever, Violet, for daily walks. Like many autistic adults, finding meaningful employment has been challenging, so we're excited to build a service centered around something we both care deeply about—animals. Aidan is also a talented illustrator who creates custom drawings of people's beloved pets. As longtime pet owners, we've seen how animals can change lives. Our first Golden Retriever, Maggie, helped Aidan develop confidence, connect with others, and navigate the world with greater ease as he grew up. Today, Violet continues that legacy, bringing companionship, routine, independence, and joy to our daily lives. We have experience caring for puppies, including reinforcing routines and basic training, as well as providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs and cats who may need a gentler pace and extra support. Every pet is treated as an individual, with kindness, respect, and plenty of attention. Our goal is to provide dependable, loving care that gives your pet a happy experience and gives you peace of mind. Animals are woven into our everyday life. Our days naturally include walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, and plenty of tail wags with our Golden Retriever, Violet. Since I work part-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive care, exercise, companionship, and routine for your pet throughout the week and on weekends. We understand that every pet is different. Some love adventure, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. We're happy to meet them where they're at and help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. We currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for cats and other small pets in your home. During dog walks, we focus on exercise, enrichment, and giving your dog a safe, enjoyable outing tailored to their age, energy level, and needs. For cat care, we'll visit your home to provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, offer playtime, companionship, and make sure your cat is comfortable and doing well while you're away. We understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so we take the time to follow your instructions and provide care that helps them feel secure and relaxed. At this time, we do not offer overnight stays or house sitting. Our goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps your pets happy and gives you peace of mind while you're away. Photos and updates can be provided during visits so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away.

“Sydney was available last minute when our other sitter cancelled, which we were so happy about! She sat in our home for almost a week and did such a great job with our two cats plus taking care of our home. She took care of our two cats, administering medication for one of them and they seemed very happy when we got home. She also left our place cleaned and tidied, which we so appreciated. Definitely would book Sydney again. Highly recommend!”

“We booked Elizabeth for multiple drop-ins for our cat while we were out of town for a few days. The cat was well cared for, and everything worked out great. All-in-all, we’d be happy to utilize her services again for future trips, and I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone considering her as an option. One side-note: We have door cameras for security, so I can see people coming and going. I’ve booked other Rover sitters in the past, and was disappointed to find that some did not spend the full amount of time that they’d been booked for – in some cases spending as little as ten minutes out of 30. Happily, I can confirm that we got our full money’s worth from Elizabeth and I’m sure she will become our regular go-to cat sitter.”

About: Hello! I've grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable with a wide range of personalities, breeds, and energy levels, from sleepy Labs who love a good nap to busy Blue Heelers who are always ready for their next adventure. Through caring for family pets and helping friends and loved ones with theirs, I've learned the importance of understanding each pet's unique routine, needs, and personality. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I work full-time during weekdays, but I’m available during afternoons (after 4:00 PM) and evenings, as well as weekends! I work in North Vancouver and live in the Downtown area, plus I drive so I’m flexible with location. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and fits with ease into my daily and weekly routine. I believe every pet is unique, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their regular routine as consistent as possible.   For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of affection and companionship. For cats, I provide feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, and respect for their individual personalities, whether they're social and cuddly or prefer a quieter approach.   When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up we’ve always had a family cat and even chickens but I love all animals equally. My mom grew up breeding cocker spaniels so we often looked after friends dogs and as far back as I can remember I have been pet sitting for friends and family staying at their place to look after their pets while they go on holidays. I’m open to over night stays, midday check-ins and dog walking. I may also be able to offer short-term boarding for dogs that I have met previously. I’m currently in a career transition phase of my life so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and am available for pet care full time. I can easily accommodate your schedule. I’d be happy to do animal check-ins or dog walks and I live in a large dog-friendly house that could be an option for short-term boarding for a dog that becomes a regular. I understand what your fur baby means to you and I will treat them with the same love and care I would my own pet. Lots of love and attention and lots of photo updates to put you at ease.

About: I am an avid animal lover and have worked with animals professionally for 10 years. I am a Certified Positive Reinforcement Dog trainer, I have my Pet First Aid and I am also Certified in Fear Free Handling. I adopted a highly reactive dog 7 years ago, and with patience and consistency I have worked to control her reactivity to people, dogs and the environment. She was considered to be aggressive and so I am comfortable working with all types of animals, specifically those with special behavioural needs. I am comfortable bathing and medicating both cats and dogs. I have experience working in Doggy Daycare's, Puppy and Adult dog training and have worked in the Animal Welfare Industry for 7 years. I have owned cats for 20+ years and have experience working and handling all personality types, from outgoing tomcats to passive, semi ferals. I am a compassionate, empathetic and patient guardian and understand the fear, anxiety and stress animals can come under in new environments with people they don’t know. Utilizing my skills and knowledge from a decade's worth of hands on experience, I hope to provide a comfortable and stable experience for your animals while you’re away. I service the North Shore from Dundarave to Deep Cove. I currently work full-time Tuesday-Saturday from 8-3. I have flexibility to work from home one day a week. I can provide in home care from 3pm onwards. I am happy to work on building confidence on walks, R+ obedience training and agility and scent work if this is something your dog would benefit from. I would prefer to board cats in my home, and dogs in your own home as my dog can be particular about sharing her space with dogs. I am comfortable staying in your home and being the support your animals needs while you're away. I love to go on adventures and wll happily take your dog on long walks, hikes and trips to the beach if this is something your dog enjoys. Alternatively, if you have a senior dog, I am happy to keep them comfortable while focusing on low impact exercises to keep them mobile, while understanding their specific needs.

I booked Mij to look after my two young cats for a few days. Mij truly treated them like her own family. Not only did she take care of the usual food, water, and litter box, but also spent quality time with them. She provided the cats with attentive care, including cuddles, new toys and enrichment activities. Mij was easy to communicate with and took time to make sure she understood the cats’ routine. She provided thorough updates with awesome photos of the cats and was really quick to respond to my questions. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future!
