“Daphne is our go-to for looking after our cat whenever we head out of town. She always spends so much time giving him lots of pets/attention, and all his favourite treats he loves. She sends lots of photo updates which we look forward to each day and we always come back to a happy kitty and have Daphne to thank for that! 😸”


“Excellent service. Trudy was very thorough about following our instructions with our kittens and was very communicative every day, sending photos and videos. One of our kittens was particularly difficult about her wet food (we're still experimenting with what she likes and dislikes), which required making adjustments on the fly. Trudy was very responsive and helpful in that regard, which we particularly appreciated.”


About: With over 12 years of experience, I provide attentive and loving pet care. From daily walks to personalized playtime, ensuring your pet’s happiness and health. Hi I am currently not working anywhere so I would be in home all day to take care of your pet and it’s well being . I have a large crate for its safety and a dog bowl to feed the food and some toys for the pet to play and a good household environment.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of different ages, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of needs. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every dog/cat like my own — with love, attention, and lots of care. I have a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m happy to work around what your pet needs. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. Whether I’m in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, and make sure they’re never left unattended in unsafe situations. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for — like they’re right at home.

About: I've cared for both cats and dogs for several years, including pets with anxiety, senior animals, and energetic puppies. I'm patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved in my care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm approach. I follow routines closely, give lots of cuddles (if your pet wants them!), and send regular photo updates so you feel confident and connected. I also have experience with basic medication and handling shy or nervous pets. Whether it's a playful pup or a sleepy senior cat, I treat every pet like family. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I make time every morning and evening for walks, feeding, and one-on-one attention to ensure pets feel safe and loved. Throughout the day, I include playtime, regular potty breaks, and any special care based on their unique needs. My days off are rotational, and during those times I’m available for longer walks, park visits, and extra bonding time. I maintain a flexible and consistent schedule to make sure each pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for—just like they’re part of my own family. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I treat them like family. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Even though I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by taking dogs to nearby parks with secure areas where they can safely run and play. I’m very mindful of each pet’s routine and personality, so I tailor care to what makes them feel most at ease—whether that’s extra cuddles, quiet time, or lots of active play. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and calm, and I always communicate openly with pet parents so they can feel confident their furry loved ones are in good hands.

About: I’ve got a cute little Pomeranian, that has been with our family since he was a puppy, friends and family calls him the golden boy because he’s so well behaved and well looked after - spoilt to a certain extend, but don’t we all just love our pets to want to give them the best life they can have :) I work remotely full time, and have a pretty flexible schedule. Let me know your needs and I can definitely find a way to accommodate to them :) Will require a meet and greet to see if I am suitable for your pet. Trust works both ways, even with pets, as I hope to be a fit for your pet just like how I would want mine to be if I were to entrust my dog with someone else :)

About: I’ve always grown up and raised my family around dogs of all kinds. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and bathing any dog. I will love your dog as if it is my own! I generally work in the mornings until the early afternoon, so I am typically available everyday after 3pm. Sometimes my schedule may open up more and if that is the case I will update my availability. Seeing a happy dog makes me happy. I love the simplicity of walking and playing with dogs, and I want to make sure every pup has a fun and meaningful interactions with me.

About: Our passion for pets ignited when we welcomed Jack and Coco, two adorable Papillon puppies, into our lives. We formed an unbreakable bond, fostering them until they found their forever homes. Currently, we share our lives with a 2-year-old mini Goldendoodle. I personally trained her, and she's exceptionally well-behaved, mastering an array of fun tricks – skills I'd be delighted to impart to your furry companions. Our friends often remark on how we dote on our pup, likening our care to that of parents to a child, a sentiment we wholeheartedly embrace. Your pet will receive the same affection and attention. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. We're here to ensure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. With my husband working from home and me currently looking for a job, our availability is quite flexible – we're virtually always around. We do cherish our weekends for personal time, but depending on the arrangement, we can be quite adaptable. Let's discuss your needs and see how we can accommodate them within our schedule. PS - Our day care services are for 10 hours, no matter what time you drop off. For 10+ hours, an additional 10$ will be charged. Also, an extra amount will be charged in case of special needs and can be discussed while booking. In our apartment, we share our space with our lively 2-year-old Goldendoodle who adores playing with other dogs. Trust us when we say, your pup will have a fantastic time and likely enjoy a restful night's sleep after a playful romp with her. Our furry companion is not just a pet but a beloved member of our family, and she'll be thrilled to welcome your dog into our home for some fun and frolic. Also, we are minutes away from Vancouver Airport and the nearby hotels.

Hanz E.
“Hanz recently looked after my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they gave. My pup was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved the whole time I was away—which says a lot, because they can be a bit picky with new people! Hanz has a natural way with dogs—kind, attentive, and always on top of routines. I got updates, cute photos, and zero stress. My dog may or may not have looked a little disappointed when I came back instead of Hanz! If you're looking for someone reliable, gentle, and genuinely great with animals, Hanz is your person.”

Richmond dog parents share their Rover experiences
Much thanks to Foram for making house visits for our small dog Leo. We re-booked her for a second time. Foram got along well with Leo and he was looked after on walks, fed meals, provided fresh water and a quick mini groom to keep his face, paws and tail looking good! We appreciate your service! :)
