“Tiana recently took care of my dog for me when I went out of town for a few days. She was punctual, friendly and very reliable! My dog was thrilled to have her over come over and keep him company while I was away. I will absolutely be contacting Tiana again in the future!”

“Verna (I Hsin) was a fantastic caretaker for my cat Hazel during the nearly one-month period I was away. She was reliable, demonstrated a genuine concern for my pet, and provided comprehensive updates after each visit. Hazel was well adjusted and well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend Verna.”

About: I have helped friends successfully train their puppies. What a joy. I have had show dogs who produced purebred litters. Therefore, I have lived in a house with multiple dogs. A circus for sure but so much joy. I have friends with rescue dogs of various mixed breeds and I love belonging to their new journey as a family pet/member. I have a cat. I am retired and enjoy walking as part of my daily fitness regime. I have enough free time for multiple visits a day in your home as well. I am unable to take care of a dog in my home due to building restrictions but I am more than willing to visit/play/feed your pet. There are numerous parks in my area with very walkable trails.

About: Hi! I’m Sandra — a lifelong dog lover, was a proud Beagle parent, and unofficial personal chef for my sister’s two spoiled pups. My own Beagle, Pumpkin, was a bundle of energy and personality — equal parts chaos and cuddlebug. I’ve learned that every dog has their own routine, personality, and palate. What I Offer Safe, fun, and personalized walks Lots of playtime and enrichment (mental and physical!) Tailored feeding routines Daily photo & text updates so you can relax I'm currently working part time so I will have time to care and play with your pups! Please see my calendar for availability and reach out. I can follow whatever instructions you have in your home about care for your dogs to ensure a safe and familiar environment for them. I can send regular images for your peace of mind.

About: I've always had dogs around me since I was a baby. My mom taught me to love animals. I think all creature need to be loved and I'm good at taking care and loving them. I have a beautiful and happy pooch who enjoys to have company. I've taken care of my friend's dog and neighbors's. We will watch over your 🐶 with love, plays, walks, cuddling and food. Your dog will follow our routine with 3 to 4 walks a day. I usually work 4 days a week during 7 hours but I'll have some flexibility when having your dog over. I have a fenced and small patio in our ground floor unit. In addition, we get to enjoy a beautiful court yard in my building. Your fur pup is allowed to go on the furniture and bed.

“We were really happy with Katherine, she visited our bunny while we were away and took care of him. She was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. She sent photo updates and responded quickly to messages. We felt really confident our bunny was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Sara clearly loves animals and takes the time not only to meet their basic needs but to ensure they are happy. Highly recommended.”

“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 ❤️”

“Vicky is a wonderful pet sitter! She took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. When they had soft poos, she promptly helped me order probiotics and cleaned everything up without any fuss. She also sent lots of photos and videos, which made me feel completely worry-free during my trip. I highly recommend Vicky and will definitely book her 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.
