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. In order to pay full attention I will only take care of one dog from the same family during their stay
About: 30+ years pet experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. 25+ yrs experience with small pets like mice, rats, hamsters and fish. Personal guarantee of at least 1 photo per day you're away :) I work from home and can in lots of cases bring my work with me to your place as long as I have wifi. I love going for walks! I would prefer to babysit inside the pets home,but my apartment is currently pet free and secure. Rest assured in an emergency(building fire, etc), I will not leave your pets alone.
About: I have experience caring for multiple large breeds as both a dog walker and sitter. Raising my own stubborn Chow Chow taught me patience and confidence with strong-willed dogs. I also cared for her through blindness and the removal of one eye, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs who need extra attention, gentle care, and close monitoring. Every dog in my care is treated like family. I work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows for plenty of supervision, walks, and companionship. I’m in the office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and it’s dog-friendly, so dog sitting can still be an option if needed. I care for pets in a calm, clean, and safe environment with lots of supervision, affection, and regular walks or potty breaks. I always follow their usual routine for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent while providing updates and photos for peace of mind. Safety, patience, and making every pet feel at home are my top priorities.
About: Being sitter was purely for my own enjoyment to meeting different dog breeds and personalities, not as a business. I offer very affordable price and cute pups always get a discount, feel free to spam me🤗. I am selective about the dogs I host as well, just to make sure everyone gets along well and stays safe and comfortable. I love traveling and exploring the world with my dog, so my availability may come and go. Hey, this is Siyu. I’m living with my Cavalier King Charles Spinel who is such a sweet and caring social star, loves everyone. If you’re looking for the most patient and detail oriented sitter, owners of white long haired dogs are usually well trained, myself included. I work at a marketing agency on a project-based schedule, so I work from home with flexible schedules most of time. But i also travel a lot, I only take bookings when I can be with your fur babies all around and provide special care per request. Every day routine with my boy dog includes morning and night walks at 9am & 8pm and potty breaks on the patio whenever my dog press his speaking button(guaranteed potty every 4 hours) I've sitted with a variety of breeds and temperaments, so I'm well-equipped to handle any situation that arises. My goal is to make sure that your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared in your absence. I'm also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're away. 500sqf fenced yard, temperament cavalier to be companion with your pups. Guarantee minimum 3 potty walks per day. Equipped with monitor in home, able to provide the videos as requested
About: 🐱Please note: At this time, I am only accepting cat boarding requests. Thank you for your understanding! Hi there! I’ve been a pet parent since 2016, when I adopted my very first kitten. With years of hands-on experience in both cat and dog care, I understand the patience, attention, and affection our furry friends need to thrive. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, walks, or just keeping your pet’s routine consistent, I treat every animal like my own. I work on a hybrid schedule, so I’m home most of the week and can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My apartment is pet-friendly, and our building has a safe garden area where pets can enjoy fresh air. I make sure they’re always supervised, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: Hi! We’re Brian and Sato a dog-loving couple based in Richmond. We both work from home, which means your pup gets double the attention, double the supervision, and a very calm, stable environment to relax in. We currently have two friendly, gentle dogs of our own. They’re well-mannered, fully vaccinated, and used to meeting new dog friends. Most owners actually tell us they love that their dog gets social time and human time with us both around. One big advantage we offer is that there’s always someone here — and it’s not just one person juggling everything. My wife and I share the care, the walks, the playtime, and the supervision. It also helps nervous pups feel more comfortable having a woman around; many dogs naturally relax faster with her calm, nurturing energy. We take introductions seriously. Every guest dog gets a slow, controlled, no-pressure meeting with our pups. If your dog prefers personal space, don’t worry — our home has multiple gated areas, quiet rooms, and ways to keep dogs separated as needed. We tailor everything to match your dog’s personality and comfort level. You can expect: • A tidy, uncluttered home • Multiple comfy nap spots • A fenced backyard for potty breaks • No harsh noises or chaos • Airy, calm spaces where dogs genuinely chill out Because we’re home all day, we can offer: • Frequent potty breaks • Walks tailored to energy level • Playtime & enrichment • Medication/supplement help • Photo & video updates throughout the day Between the two of us, we’ve cared for seniors, high-energy dogs, shy rescues, and little dogs who just want cuddles. We understand dog body language and work to make your pup feel safe and understood. Why Dogs Love Staying With Us: • Two adults at home full-time • Calm vibes, clean space • Friendly resident dogs (introduced safely) • Serious about communication • Warm, balanced energy in the household • Flexible routines to match your dog’s lifestyle We’d love to meet you and your pup for a meet-and-greet so you can see the space, get a feel for our setup, and ask anything on your mind. Your dog will honestly be treated like family here. We can’t wait to welcome some new furry friends into our home! I currently work from home doing remote office work and my wife is also always around. I often take my own Dogs outside for walks during my breaks around the neighbourhood or the nearby park to refresh. I am always monitoring my Dogs and guests and if they want to go for potty they can pretty much go anytime in our backyard. I have a fenced off yard and monitor daily if any of holes the Dogs may have dug up so they do not escape. The yard poop is picked up often. Water is always available and I have some small snacks available for good behaviour. During the evenings they are free to snuggle with us on the couch or their own bed, whichever they prefer. I can also send you updates or photos of their day as it unfolds.

About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. My experience includes puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, anxious and fearful dogs, high-energy breeds, and dogs who simply need a little extra patience and understanding. I currently work as a professional dog walker, where I safely manage both private and group walks while focusing on positive experiences, enrichment, and each dog’s individual needs. I’m experienced in reading canine body language, managing dog-to-dog interactions, and adapting walks based on a dog’s comfort level, energy, and temperament. Whether your dog loves adventure, prefers a slower-paced stroll, or needs a calm and consistent routine while you’re away, my goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that helps them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and wellbeing. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently work as a professional dog walker and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I enjoy spending my time with animals and make it a priority to ensure every pet gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, companionship, and love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, pets have a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax. We also have a secure balcony for fresh air (always supervised) and are within walking distance of beautiful trails, parks, and an off-leash area for dogs who enjoy off-leash adventures and have reliable recall. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routine and provide plenty of companionship, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and affection while keeping their home clean and secure. I always prioritize safety, positive experiences, and regular communication, including photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
About: Nurturing a Pet Haven: My Journey in Animal Care From the wagging tails of ten dogs—three of whom have crossed the rainbow bridge—to the gentle flutter of bird wings and the serene swims of turtles and fish, my home has been a sanctuary for diverse pets. Each day, I craft nutritious home-cooked meals, tailored to their needs, while meticulously managing their medications and grooming routines. This daily ritual is more than a task; it’s a labor of love, ensuring that every creature in my care thrives and feels cherished. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take sittings on weekdays as I work on weekends. I can sometimes contribute on weekends too. I will be doing the duties at client’s home with complete secure sitting. I can provide valid background check and profile info and with few references.
About: Professional: I began dog walking and pet sitting in Los Angeles in 2017, which is also where I received training. I am proficient in walking dogs that are anxious and fearful, as well as multiple dogs and larger breeds. I am certified in Dog & Cat CPR. Personal: I was raised alongside dogs and cats. Once I was old enough to care for my own pets, I became the proud owner of, in addition to dogs and cats, fish, mice, hamsters, snakes, rabbits, horses, and lizards! I've always had a love for animals that has only grown with every passing year! Now in my own home, I have two cats, Mochi & Miyo! I work remotely from my home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! This allows me a lot of freedom to make your and your pets' needs a priority! The most important aspect of pet sitting to me is to make the pets feel comfortable with my presence. I am respectful of not only their boundaries but yours as well so that your pet knows I am not an intruder but rather a visitor or friend even!
About: I have helped friends dog sitting and also I have 1 year cockapoo at my place. I do walk 3 times regularly and I love my dog and other dog play and use up all their energy I am currently working remotely full time so I am always at home. I will do walk 8:30am morning, 2pm at dog park nearby and lawn around 9pm close to Walmart lawn I have 850 square feet apartment. I am welcome dogs fo come to bedroom and sleep. My wife will cook fresh food for dogs as well.
About: I love and respect animals. I am very responsible and mature person who are good at taking care cats. I love to share videos and pictures with owners in a daily basis. Don’t be jealous if they may love me more when they stay with me. I am a freelancer and I stay at home most of time. I have enriched experiences to take care cats and I usually clean cat litter 5-6 times per day. I have three cats in my apartment, and they are mom and daughters. I clean the cat litter more than five times per day, and mop two times per day.
About: Hello lovey pet owners! I am Ash!! I am looking to brighten my life with new dog friends! Personally I love long walks and cuddles. I would be more than happy to meet all and every kind of pets you may have! Especially the more challenging ones. Every animal has different needs and personalities. And I have more than enough patience and heart to figure out how to best handle your fur babies! I’m a confident and energetic alpha that will have much fun yet safe boundaries to ensure your pets needs are being tended to. If you ever have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to ask me, I’d be open to discuss any potential offers! Thank you for your consideration, Ash :) Pet care easily fits into my schedule in my work week as I am off midday ( I work mornings) and have weekends completely open to spending all day and night with your pets. I currently live in a house that does not allow pets, so I am not accepting boarding atm. Under the right circumstances would be open to going to your home where your animal is most comfortable for overnights/drop ins. Thank you in advanced hope to hear from you!
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for cats, and my current cat has been with me for six years. I adopted him in China and later brought him with me when I moved to Canada — he is family, and leaving him behind was never an option. I’m now a proud cat and dog parent, so I understand just how different every pet can be. My cat is independent, curious, and happiest when his boundaries are respected, while my dog is social, sweet, and loves being part of everything. Living with both has taught me that good pet care isn’t about treating every animal the same — it’s about understanding what makes each individual pet feel safe and happy. Before bringing home my first puppy, I spent months learning about animal behavior, puppy development, training, and socialization. I then dedicated myself full-time to raising and training her through puppyhood. We worked on basic commands, recall, leash manners, impulse control, socialization, and respectful interactions with other animals. Her entire journey has been documented on her own social media account, from little training sessions and new experiences to everyday adventures. One thing I’m especially proud of is helping my cat and dog build a wonderful relationship. Rather than forcing interactions, I learned their body language, respected their boundaries, and gradually helped them become comfortable with each other. Today, my dog is incredibly gentle and friendly with cats as well as other dogs. I also have professional experience working in a pet store, where I helped many pet parents with food, treats, supplements, and everyday care. Nothing made me happier than hearing that something I suggested had genuinely helped their pet. Seeing happy pets and happy owners was always the most rewarding part of my work. To me, caring for animals is much more than feeding, walking, or playing. I pay attention to the little things — body language, routines, habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing, shy and cautious, independent, or simply wants someone quietly nearby, I’ll take the time to understand them. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. ❤️ I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and other care based on your pet’s usual routine. I’m also happy to spend extra time with pets who need more companionship or attention. I have a spacious fenced yard where dogs can enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time to run, play, explore, or simply relax in the sun. For cats who enjoy outdoor time, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine as well, as long as it’s safe and approved by their owner. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I pay attention to body language, personality, and boundaries, and I never force interactions between pets. If your pet stays in my home, introductions to my own pets will always be gradual and supervised, and they can be kept separately whenever needed. And expect lots of photo updates! 📸 I absolutely love photographing animals (I even upgraded my phone partly for this reason 😂), so you’ll get plenty of pictures and little updates throughout the day. I want you to enjoy your time away without having to wonder how your pet is doing.
About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated and experienced dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for large breeds. My journey with dogs began with Wangcai, a gentle senior Golden Retriever I cared for as my own. Through my time with him, I gained extensive experience with daily routines, long walks, routine vet visits, sensitive skin/diet management, and administering daily medication for chronic conditions like hypothyroidism. Later, I welcomed Bo, a Golden Retriever & Ridgeback mix, into my life. Caring for these two large dogs has given me deep practical experience in managing big, energetic pups safely and patiently. Having lived in Richmond for years, I am exceptionally familiar with local off-leash parks, trails, and quiet walking routes around Richmond and Downtown Vancouver. Dogs bring immense joy, healthy activity, and emotional balance to my life, and I treat every pup under my care like family. With a very flexible schedule on weekdays, I can give your dog unhurried, attentive, and reliable love whenever you need a hand! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. My weekdays are wide open from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, allowing me to offer flexible, prompt, and unhurried drop-in visits or walks for your pup during the afternoon. As a dog owner myself, spending time with dogs is already a central part of my day, so I can always provide reliable and dedicated care! When providing Drop-In Visits at a client’s home, I focus on safety, clear communication, and personalized care: Arrival & Security: I carefully follow all entrance and security instructions (keys, garage, or alarm codes) to ensure the home remains secure before and after the visit. Pet Care & Routine: I stick strictly to the owner's instructions for feeding, fresh water, medication, and potty breaks. For walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed and stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings. Quality Companionship: I spend quality time playing, cuddling, or providing calm companionship so the dog feels safe and comfortable while the owner is away. Updates & Cleanliness: I clean up any mess during the visit and end every stay with a detailed update and photos sent to the owner for peace of mind.
About: I am an animal lover and would be happy to take your dog for an awesome walk! I have experience volunteering and working in animal shelters and have been around animals most of my life. I currently work at the BC SPCA as a dog care attendant and have experience working with dogs with diverse medical and behavioural needs. I have worked as a research project assistant at UBC recording data regarding dogs’ behaviours while interacting with potential adopters. I learned a lot about different behaviours that dogs have and what they mean in connection to the dogs attitude. I love animals and am hoping for a career in animal welfare in the future. I also love to be outside and go for lots of walks/hikes and would be happy to be accompanied by a furry friend and would make sure to take the best care I possibly can of your pets! I work full time Sunday to Thursdays. I am available every Friday and Saturday for walks or to pop in to take your furry friends out for bathroom breaks or for a mid day meal. I am also available every evening during the week. I am happy to follow whatever routine you have set for your dog, whether you are crate training, just need someone to keep them company or to go for a longer walk or play time outside.
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. I spend my mornings trainings and then in the afternoons/evenings I enjoy spending my time out of the house going on long walks for relaxation! I care for pets by following the owner’s instructions closely and keeping their routine as normal as possible, whether that is feeding times, walks, or play. I make sure the environment is safe, clean, and calm, with no hazards and plenty of attention and supervision. I always prioritize the dog’s comfort and safety, and I respect the client’s home by being responsible, tidy, and trustworthy.
“Our cat Gypsy is very shy and we were worried about leaving her alone for the week, but Wu put in lots of effort and she was able to coach Gypsy out of her hiding spots and even get her to play with her! Wu was very communicative and responsive and great with Gypsy, would highly recommend leaving your pets with her!”


About: I recently moved from Ireland to Canada, leaving behind my own dog. Being here without him has been very hard and I’m missing him a lot. I love dogs, I’ve always had a dog since I was young. I have taken care of family and friends dogs when they go away on vacation. I would love to come and play with your dog, feed them, or walk them ! I am missing the company and fun of a dog in my life and would love to give all the love I have to yours ! I am currently looking for a job since moving here so for the time being I have no schedule. However once I do have a job I would still like to do this part time, even on weekends. I currently won’t be doing any care in my home, as I live in an apartment and don’t have much space. I would prefer going to your home and spending time where the dog is comfortable, as well as walking them in an area they know!
About: I’m an experienced pet caregiver who loves keeping dogs active and engaged. I live beside Gary Point Park, so pups enjoy safe walks, fresh air, and plenty of enrichment throughout the day. I treat every guest like part of the family. Your dog will receive the same patience, safety, and affection that I give my own dog, Roxy. I work from home, which means your dog enjoys consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm environment instead of long hours alone. Your pet becomes part of our daily rhythm with plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. We follow a steady routine with quick pee breaks, a one‑hour walk at noon, and another one‑hour walk in the evening to keep them happy and relaxed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I maintain a calm, supervised home environment and follow each pet’s routine so they feel secure and understood. Doors stay safely closed, walks are done with secure leashes, and I choose open, safe areas around Gary Point Park and Steveston. I use gentle, positive handling and keep a predictable rhythm throughout the day, helping pets relax and feel completely at ease in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
Linda is a wonderful person and the doggies felt that immediately when they met her. Scraps never has gone to a stranger in her 13 years, but now we have seen it. Keemo was the same. I highly recommend Linda for your person to trust with your pets without hesitation. Thanks again!

Charlotte was amazing. She spent a whole week with our 10 week old puppy and did a phenomenal job. She went above and beyond in caring for the puppy, and making sure he had lots of love and attention while we were away. I would highly recommend Charlotte for any pet care needs.

I needed a midday dog walker for a month and was so lucky to have found Lise. As soon as I met her, I knew she was the right person to care for my small dog. I had no hesitation in allowing her access to my home when I was absent and found she was extremely conscientious in every detail, including arriving for every scheduled visit right on time. She sent photos and reports for each visit, allowing me to feel very reassured that Ollie was being well taken care of. He and I both loved Lise! I would happily hire her again and can highly recommend her to other pet parents.
