Cat Sitting Richmond

“Yaqiu was very accommodating to our schedule and our cat Mio’s needs and daily routines. She did everything requested to make Mio feel more comfortable and knew how to handle him when he is nervous. Towards the end Mio was feeling more comfortable and I’m sure he will be familiar next time he comes back! Thank you again Yaqiu”

“Mikayla took such wonderful care of my senior rescue cat, Smokey, while I was away for a week. Leaving an older cat can be stressful, and she made the experience completely worry-free. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Smokey can be particular, but he looked relaxed and content in her updates. It’s clear he got plenty of gentle care and affection. When I came home, the apartment was spotless and Smokey was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book Mikayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy sitter.”

About: In addition to loving and training my own dog, I have over a year of experience volunteering to train service dogs. Through the timespan of a couple years my little apartment has seen over 10 dogs in training. I would love to help sit your furbaby too! Can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently working full time and slowly changing my work schedule. I’m available to house sit and check in on your pets in the weekday evenings and weekends while you are away! I live in an apartment with 1 dog. I can create a fenced area or crate your dog if desired. I’m happy to come to your home and follow your instructions on how to care for your pet!

“Tiana took excellent care of our senior fur baby. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again and recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: 💁‍♀️ Drop-in Visits • Dog Walking • Doggy Day Care • Overnight Sitting 🐱🐶 I’ve grown up with dogs and have 15+ years of experience caring for pets from many different families. I truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs—from relaxed companionship at home to fun, safe walks outdoors 🦮 I work from home, so pets receive plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections and have experience with raw feeding, always following owner instructions carefully. I have a 8-year-old cat and an 4-year-old Cavapoo, both friendly and fully vaccinated 🐈🐕 🏡 Home & Outdoor Space • Pee pads always available • 5 pet-friendly sky gardens • Nearby parks, trails, and occasional dog park visits (with owner approval) 🐾 Health & Safety Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and parasite prevention. Please share any medical conditions, skin issues, or special care needs in advance. 🚫 Note As I live in an apartment, I’m unable to accept pets that bark excessively or continuously. This helps maintain a calm and comfortable environment for all pets. 🗣 Languages I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, making communication easy and clear. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.🐾 🐾I work from home and pet care fits into my daily routine with morning and evening feeding, walks, and playtime sessions to ensure my pets stay active and healthy. I also include midday check-ins and short play breaks for mental stimulation. Weekly, I set aside time for thorough grooming, deep cleaning pet areas, and conducting health checks. Additionally, I plan special activities like outings or playdates to keep my pets socially engaged and happy. 😊 🏠 In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces, removing hazardous items, and providing secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest. I maintain trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement during training and play. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions, maintain open communication, and treat their pets with the same care and respect as my own. I also ensure a clean and stress-free environment by cleaning up after activities and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and their favorite toys. Additionally, I have a well-trained, calm, and healthy dog and cat, which further contributes to a harmonious and reassuring environment for all pets.

About: In my role as a pet caregiver, my approach is shaped by years of experience not only in pet care but also in child care, which has given me a unique perspective. Both animals and young children are sensitive, easily influenced by their surroundings, and need consistent, patient attention. This background has deepened my understanding of pets’ behaviors and emotions, allowing me to offer truly attentive, individualized care that helps each animal feel secure. With each pet, I take the time to observe and understand their unique personality and needs. I adjust my approach to help them feel at ease, whether it’s following their meal times, exercise routines, or favorite play activities. This mindfulness ensures everything is structured yet calm, respecting their pace and helping them feel comfortable in their routines. One area that sets me apart is my experience with basic training, especially with younger pets who may need guidance with potty training or socialization. Through gentle, consistent reinforcement, I help them build good habits, ensuring they feel more confident in new settings or around other animals. My approach is also highly adaptable, as I know each pet and situation is unique. This flexibility allows me to respond calmly and appropriately to any issues, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. In my daily pet care schedule, I start each day with a visit in the morning to ensure the pets are fed, litter boxes are cleaned, and some play time or a short walk if applicable. During my midday visit, I focus on spending time with the pets, engaging in interactive play, and checking on their health. In the evening, I visit again for feeding and more play time. This is also when I thoroughly clean the litter boxes and check for any health issues to ensure that each pet is satisfied and safe for the night. As a pet caregiver, I understand that it is important to balance caring for pets with maintaining a personal life. I create a flexible care schedule for each pet that allows time to meet their needs in my busy daily life. By scheduling feeding, walking, and playtime in advance, I am able to use my time efficiently and ensure that each pet receives adequate attention. In addition, I use a few pet care apps to track feeding times, health, and training progress. These tools help me better organize my schedule, reduce the likelihood of forgetting, and ensure that each pet is cared for on time. I am able to find a balance between pet care and my personal life, ensuring that both my pets and I enjoy a fulfilling and enjoyable life, which also makes me feel more fulfilled at work. As a pet caregiver, my first priority is to ensure that pets live in a safe, trusting and comfortable environment. To this end, I will carefully check the environment before each care to ensure that there are no potential hazards, such as poisonous plants, wires or small objects, which may cause harm to pets. And use safe traction equipment to ensure the safety of outdoor activities. I build a trusting relationship with each pet through gentle interaction and patient companionship, while regularly giving feedback to pet owners about their situation to ensure that they are reassured by my care methods. To create a comfortable environment, I will provide pets with a quiet resting area, clean their living space regularly, and provide personalized care services based on the personality and habits of each pet, so that they feel happy and at ease under my care.

“i left my cat bug with her for two months when i left the country, and im truly so happy to have picked her to watch him. she was extremely accommodating, kept me informed, and sent me updates and lots of pics and videos (bug and her cat also became best friends which made me so incredibly happy!). i’m normally anxious when leaving bug with anyone, but my heart was at ease knowing he was in such good hands. i highly recommend her and definitely will be coming back to her so bug and pumpkin get to hang out again. thank you so much again!”

About: I have been dog sitting dogs for over two years. I am very friendly with dogs and love to take them on walks. Love to go on runs with dogs as well! My name is Cristiano and I am new to the Vancouver area! I recently signed with the Vancouver Whitecaps 2 so I am a very active person and I I love being around pets.

About: I've been sitting for friends and people I've met through work for a while now. As a caring pet sitter, I treat every furry friend like my own. With attention to detail, patience, and a genuine love for animals, I will ensure your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I work a full time job at a restaurant, and I'm days off aren't usually the same. I can make it work where I can book off specific days and be available, depending how long I am needed. I currently am not allowed to have pets at home, therefore house sitting is my only option to pet sit. I will work around my work schedule to ensure your pet is properly watched over and taken care of.

About: I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs. I grew up around them a lot as both my aunt and my uncle each had a dog of their own. I have baby sat and taken care of peoples pets from time to time through request but never on rover until recently. I am good with all types of dog breeds regardless of size. Big dogs don’t intimidate me , they just haven’t gotten to know me , yet. That being said I love to get out and keep active , walking dogs is great for that. I also really enjoy the time I spend with these animals. I hope to hear from you all soon. Cat owner of 25+ years Cat sitter with equal experience Dog sitter with 1 years experience ongoing. I am a pretty flexible person , I’m currently focusing on making pet sitting and dog walking my main source of income as I have always had a passion for animals , I just never really thought about monetizing it. I’ve baby sat cats here and there for friends and family and I also I have 2 of my own , but I’m also very good with dogs. I recently spent some time dog sitting for a neighbour which went really well , so I decided to give this a go as it seemed to be a really good way to make money at something I’m passionate about , which is my love for animals and spending time with them.
