About: We have two senior Yorkshire Terriers who are 12.5 and 13 years old. We had them around 3 months old. We are experienced with training puppies and taking care of senior dogs and giving/injecting meds. Ever since they were puppies, our yorkies have been raw food eaters. Dogs that prefer raw food/ cooked food are welcomed as we have an extra freezer for storage. I am a stay at home mother of two boys. My husband's work schedule is flexible and we have plenty of time to take care of your loved one while walking and playing. Our schedules are flexible. Please drop me a message to see my up-to-date availability. We live in a townhouse with a front yard and two sons who just adore dogs. They have been with our dogs from the beginning when they came back from the hospital. we ensure that our clients' are our highest priority. We work with one pet at a time. Our dogs are fully vaccinated and on parasite protection. We check dog at M&G and drop off for fleas and ringworms. Please do not be offended as this is how we ensure cleanliness at our home. At our home, your pet can relieve itself outside with a leash on or with a pee pad inside. Our home is close to parks, trails and school yards allowing ample space to roam. We have 2 pet stairs for our sofa and bed with anti-slip treads for stairs. We don't typically use kennels but we do have a large one at your request.

“Josh dropped in on my cat for one week. He did a great job with feeding and cleaning up after a couple of messes. I found Josh to be very responsible and responsive to messages, between and during his visits. I will definitely consider bringing Josh in the next time I'm away.”


“We got a new puppy recently and needed some help during the day. Suani was wonderful. She was able to help us on short notice.

About: Hi! I’m Aliya, and energetic, outdoorsy person who absolutely lives animals. Over the past 4 years, I’ve been dog walking and dog/ house sitting for family and friends. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle session, or just making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I bring care, responsibility, and genuine affection to every visit. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet — and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel loved, active and relaxed. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet your furry companion! I’m currently not in school and am not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am available for anytime. For dog walks, I do not need any notice but for overnight stays a minimum of 1 day notice is preferred. When I care for pets in a clients home, I stick closely to their routines to keep things familiar and stress free. I make sure that my clients pet is fed, walked, played with and comforted. I always treat my clients homes with respect and keep them updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pet is well cared for.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. Used to have a female Samoyed and now a male Golden Retriever. I have experience with puppy and senior care. I'm working part-time. I walk my dog and clean litter boxes twice a day. All my furry friends sleep with me and they get along with each other very well :) I have a fenced yard and security cameras all around the house. I will take videos and photos every time I visit your furry friend.

About: I’m a proud Samoyed mom with 3 years of hands-on dog care experience, plus years caring for my two former cats — so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I live in a pet-friendly townhouse just minutes from Queen Elizabeth Park, where I regularly take my own dog for safe off-leash adventures. Your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play in a fun, social environment. I’m experienced with positive reinforcement training, keeping energetic pups engaged, and providing gentle care for senior pets. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication needs, and each pet’s unique personality. With my own car, I’m flexible for drop-ins, pick-ups, and last-minute requests. I’ll treat your pets like family — making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy every moment you’re away. I’m currently taking a career break after working as a software developer, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on caring for pets. I already spend a lot of my day with my 3-year-old Samoyed, going for walks and frequenting the off-leash area at Queen Elizabeth Park, just minutes from my townhouse. Because I’m not working right now, I can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule — whether that’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy making sure animals feel loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away. In my home, pets are treated like family. I live in a pet-friendly townhouse with plenty of space for lounging and playing, and I’m just minutes from Queen Elizabeth Park’s off-leash area for safe, supervised outdoor time. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets when outside or interacting with others. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines exactly as instructed. I follow feeding schedules, keep fresh water available, and make sure litter boxes or outdoor potty areas are clean. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort level, whether that means quiet companionship or active play. Above all, safety and trust are my priorities — I handle every pet with love, patience, and the same level of care I give my own Samoyed. I want owners to feel completely confident that their furry family members are in good hands.

About: With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet's needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles, I ensure your furry friends feel comfortable and loved. I understand that every pet is unique—some need lots of attention, while others prefer their space—and I adapt my care to fit their personality. With reliable updates and plenty of affection, I make sure your pets are in safe hands while you’re away! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m able to provide constant attention to my pets, whether it's taking breaks to play, feed them, or give them a quick walk outside. My flexible schedule allows me to keep a consistent feeding and grooming routine, and I’m always around to offer cuddles and companionship. I also make sure to schedule regular playtime or enrichment activities to keep them active and engaged. Working from home makes it easy to give them the care and love they need throughout the day. In my apartment, I provide a comfortable, safe environment for my own pets—one cat and one dog—and extend the same level of care to pets in my clients’ homes. For my own pets, I ensure they have regular feeding, playtime, and lots of affection, while keeping my apartment clean and organized to suit both their needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine exactly—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or playtime—and ensure their space is secure and free from hazards. I focus on maintaining a calm atmosphere, offering personalized care based on each pet’s personality, and keeping them entertained while respecting their comfort zone.

Qi D.
“Christina has taken care a 3 ys old Samoyed, Icey by herself, she make me impressive since she is a super organized and responsible person. I have a cat for few years already and I am also a dog love person, to be sugar daddy for her dog icey (because I love her dog so much) recent year, she followed icey‘s routine perfectly, made sure he got his daily walks 2-3 times (and even picked some of Vancouver’s nicest spots for him to explore), and kept me updated with the cutest photos and messages. I believe she is a best rover if someone is looking for trustworthy, knowledgeable about Vancouver, and deeply caring towards pets. by the way, she also is a gym girl, she can do barbell bench press 40KG! so never worries any big dog she can‘t hold it.”
