“Karuna is an absolute gem! My partner Laurie and I recently returned from a much needed holiday, and we were able to fully relax knowing our beloved dog Nena was in such capable and caring hands. Karuna stepped in on short notice and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, Nena took an instant liking to her—and that connection only grew. We left Karuna with a detailed list of instructions, and she followed them to the letter. Not only that, she went above and beyond the call of duty, helping with extra tasks around the house and showing genuine care and attention to detail. Communication was outstanding: we received regular texts, photos, and videos, and any questions we had were answered almost immediately. Karuna’s updates gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that Nena was not only well cared for but truly happy in her presence. We are beyond grateful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again—not just for Nena, but also for our kitties. Karuna is trustworthy, kind, and incredibly capable. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you, Karuna!”


“Natalie house sat for us and she was wonderful with our pup! We especially appreciated her coming over to do a meet & greet so we could introduce her to our dog. We would recommend Natalie to others!”


“Kylee was a pleasure to have stay at our house for 5 days with our 2 year old lab. He’s nervous when meeting new people and Kylee was very patient with him until she won him over! She was punctual and left our place as she found it, which we really appreciated. We would love to have Kylee back again and I would recommend her services to anyone.”


“Ally spent the weekend in-house with our dog Kola. She gave regular updates and I came back to a very happy dog! She also fed and gave some lovin’ to the kitties. Thank you, Ally, for taking such great care of our beloved pets! We’ll definitely book again 😊”

“Janean was just fantastic. This was my first Rover experience. She met with us prior to the stay and sent updates every day. I needed someone who could take my pull on offleash walks as that's the best way to burn his energy. Thanks Janean! I highly recommend you.”


“Azura was so amazing with our girl! She sent updates and pictures and was extremely accommodating - she last minute over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day took Harley for an extra night when all the ferries were cancelled and we couldn’t get back. Thank you for making our first rover experience so wonderful!! Definitely recommend”


“Rebecca was awesome, looking after our two bengal cats who can squabble with each other from time to time. She gave me the peace of mind to be able to go away, knowing our fur babies and house were in good hands. She sent us regular photos and updates and left our home in immaculate. Would recommend and we will be calling on her pet sitting services again!”


“Tara had excellent communication and provided lots of info regarding my 10 month old pup. She was very patient and provided Riley with lots of excercise and games. She left my house very tidy. I would not hesitate to have her pets it at my house again :)”


“I would 100% recommend Jill. Not only does she know dogs and cats, she knows wildlife farm life and two dogs, and they both loved having to take care of them. I’ve never had anybody care for my pets unless I’ve known them, and she was terrific. Thank you Jill for taking excellent care of our pets and Home. Kathy 💛”


About: I live in Squamish with my partner and loving and active chocolate Labrador. We are active and love taking our dog with us on adventures. She gets along well with other dogs but doesn’t usually play with them. I have trails around my house where I can take the dogs for a walk as well as a huge school yard near by they can run around in. I work from home and take my dog out three times a day — in the morning, during lunchtime and after work. After work is when we go for the longest walk/adventure. My dog is obsessed with food, so I always take care to make sure there is nothing out that dogs can get into. I have a small fenced yard dogs want to hang outside and I’m easy going about them sleeping on my furniture.

About: When you are away, breath a sigh of relief. I am responsible, experienced and will care for your furry family as if they were my own. I am a member of Pet Sitters International, volunteer for Catspan, registered charity, and North Island Wildlife Recovery Center. Neighbors and friends trust me to care for their homes and pets while they are away. In 2010 I co-founded an animal shelter in Golden BC. I have a life long interest in animals and have certificates for Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Pet Sitting, CPR for canines, Animal Physical Therapy, Animal Psychology and Essentials of Shelter and Rescue Care. I have a current criminal record check. I can offer kind and compassionate care while you are away. Love to hear from you.

“Rhaya is just a fantastic dog/house sitter. We’ve booked her multiple times and love that we can be away completely worry-free knowing our pup and home are in great hands. 10/10 recommend.”


“Jordan stayed at our home for a few nights and took great care of our two dogs—and our home! It was clear she genuinely cared about our pups, keeping them happy and comfortable, and their updates and photos gave us peace of mind. Not only did she keep everything running smoothly, but also left our home clean and cozy, which was wonderful to return home to. Jordan is kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”


“Gina did a great job, and provided updates throughout our trip so our minds were always at ease about how our fur friends were doing. She was also very respectful of our home, and I’d have no hesitation to recommend her to others.”
