Stacie was very responsive and thorough during each visit. She sent us multiple pictures and videos of our pets, which was so nice to see when we were missing them. We recommend her!

Kayan is a perfect furry friend. She went above and beyond my expectation in every way. She was incredibly caring and attentive, and it was clear that she truly loves animals. Our cats seemed very comfortable and happy in her care. I needed to extend the booking on very short notice, she immediately accommodated us without hesitation, which meant so much during a stressful time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate cat sitter!

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles, we ensure your furry friends feel comfortable and loved. we understand that every pet is unique—some need lots of attention, while others prefer their space—and we adapt my care to fit their personality. With reliable updates and plenty of affection, we make sure your pets are in safe hands while you’re away! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine since we work from home. We are able to provide constant attention to our pets, whether it's taking breaks to play, feed them, or give them a quick walk outside. Our flexible schedule allows me to keep a consistent feeding and grooming routine, and we are always around to offer cuddles and companionship. We 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 our apartment, we 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.

When caring for pets in a client's home, we follow their routine exactly—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or playtime—and ensure their space is secure and free from hazards.

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!

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 :)

I can't say enough good things about Aliya! I made the best decision using her for my pet sitting needs, and also she is so sweet and amazing to talk to! She took excellent care of my Canary Darween. (Darween is a bird) Attention to detail, really good communication, and so friendly. This is the first time I went away and did not have anxiety and stress as I knew he was in good hands. I will be using her again for any services that I need, as long as she is still available :) Also recommending to all my friends that live near. Thank you again ❤️

About: I have taken care of my chocolate lab Louie for 6 years and along the way I have also house sat for cat owners, dog sat, and cat sat. I have taken care of younger more difficult cats as well so I am well versed in the field! I am generally always available and ready to be of service. I wake up every morning to walk my chocolate lab Louie. My day practically revolves around my dog! I am a very patient care giver who is understanding and accommodating to animals who may have difficult health issues. I am a very respectful person and always make sure that the space is kept the exact same as before I got there.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I have completed several animal welfare and pet care courses, and I have over a year of experience caring for dogs, six years of experience with cats, and three years of experience keeping reptiles. Through both formal learning and practical experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language. I pay close attention to each pet’s signals and routines so I can quickly recognize changes in their mood, stress level, or overall well-being. I enjoy spending time outdoors and living an active lifestyle, which makes me a great match for dogs that need regular walks, exercise, and enrichment. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and cautious, I strive to provide a safe, patient, and comfortable environment tailored to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are when caring for a family member. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly!) companion! I am currently exploring my long-term career path, which gives me a highly flexible schedule. As a full-time pet sitter, I am available seven days a week and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, provide frequent potty breaks, and maintain consistent routines for your pets. Because I currently have a cat at home, I do not offer boarding services in my own home. Instead, I focus on providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that is tailored to them. Whether that means energetic walks, play sessions, feeding routines, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always prioritize the pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being. I enjoy outdoor activities and have reliable transportation, allowing me to take dogs on walks in a variety of environments and, with the owner’s permission, visits to dog parks for exercise and socialization. I am attentive to animal behavior and body language and always monitor pets closely to ensure they are happy, safe, and comfortable. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.

About: Nowadays, pets are not just pets but also valued members of the families. I have a cat for 7 years so I understand that you are on Rover not just to find someone to feed your pet but you want to make sure they are in good hand and taken good care of while you are busy. I will take care of them as if I am you. I am available for boarding during weekends. During weekdays, I am available from 5 to 10 if your fur friend needs to go for a walk or needs some quality time with a human. If boarding a dog, I have a big fenced yard for them to chill/play in. If boarding a cat, my lap is always available or a random spot of their choice whichever they prefer.

About: My 3years and half dog caring experience includes providing walks, playing, care and overnight boarding to dogs while their owners are on vacation. Dog owners can confidently leave their precious pet for any length of stay. I adapt my services to for each unique pet – for example, for the energetic young husky, I walked her twice daily and would send her mom photos and videos regularly. I live a 5 minute walk from Fraser River side trails and a 3 minute walk from McCallan Park which has a fenced, off-leash area, much to the delight of my happy canine campers. I have three grown up children who love dogs, who will voluntarily give attention, play with, comb and try teaching your dog tricks. They can be counted on to keep an extra eye on your pet and can allow me extra flexibility, making sure your pet can always be looked after by someone if that’s what they need.

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: My homecare experience has strengthened my patience, awareness, and caregiving skills. I am confident and comfortable handling pets and quickly adapt to their needs and personalities. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m off on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’d love to use that free time doing something I genuinely enjoy, spending time with dogs and cats. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations. I’m patient and calm, which helps pets feel at ease, especially if they’re shy or anxious.

About: I was a dog owner since i was 10, it didn't mean i only played with but really took care of them. I had 5 dogs over the years. Also have experience taking care of other people's dogs after my dogs passed away. My whole family loves dogs. If dogs can talk, I think they will say they're happy to be at my place. Understand how pet parents missed them while they are away, photos won't be missed Im currently retired, I speak both English and Cantonese if your fury baby prefer language other than English:), most of the time I'll be home unless I'm going for trip. Love to take care of your fur babies if I could help! I have a fenced backyard and kids are all grown up.

About: I’m a dedicated dog owner with hands-on experience, especially with small breeds, so I understand how to keep dogs calm, safe, and comfortable. I’m patient and consistent with puppies—helping reinforce potty training, crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands using positive guidance. For senior dogs, I provide gentle, slower-paced care with close attention to comfort, mobility, and routine. I treat every dog like my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands. I am a full time student at UBC and currently on break hence I have lots of free time to hangout and take care of all pups. n my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with consistent routines for walks, feeding, and rest. I adjust care based on each dog’s needs so they feel comfortable and secure. In my client’s home, I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and carefully follow all instructions to keep things familiar and stress-free. In both cases, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own.

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! :)
