Dog Sitting Richmond

About: I've been caring for pets since 2015, when I got my first cat. I took care of her throughout her entire life, and she stayed healthy and happy until she passed away peacefully from old age. Over the years, I also looked after two French Bulldogs for a friend for more than two years, which gave me lots of experience with dogs and their daily routines. Later on, I got my own Yorkie and two Devon Rex cats. My Yorkie is currently staying with my family in China, while my two cats are here with me. They're both very friendly and grew up around dogs, so they're comfortable being around them. I also volunteered at Central Park Animal Hospital and worked part-time as a vet assistant at Lansdowne Animal Hospital. Although my time there was relatively short, I gained hands-on experience and learned more about animal care and behaviour. I truly love animals and understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I'm also happy to send regular photos and updates while you're away! Taking care of pets has been part of my daily life for many years. I'm used to feeding, playing, cleaning up, and spending quality time with animals every day. I have a flexible schedule right now, so I can spend plenty of time with the pets I'm caring for and give them the attention they need. I also enjoy going for walks and spending time outdoors, so having a furry friend with me makes it even better! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different habits, personalities, and needs, so I always try to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. At my home, I have two friendly Devon Rex cats who grew up around dogs. I would always make sure any new pets are introduced slowly and have their own space to feel comfortable. I also keep my home clean and make sure there is nothing dangerous within reach. If I'm caring for pets in their own home, I'll respect your space and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care they may need. I'll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are doing well while you're away!

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them since I was little. Later, I had my own dog and took care of his daily needs, including feeding, walking him twice a day, playing with him, and basic training. My dog experienced separation anxiety, which encouraged me to learn more about dog behavior and training. I learned that caring for a dog is not just about correcting their behavior — it’s also about understanding their needs and how our own behavior and routines affect them. This taught me to be patient, calm, and attentive. I also have experience dog sitting and caring for dogs in my family. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs, even on rainy days, and spending time playing and interacting with them. Since moving to Canada, I don’t have a dog with me, and I really miss having dogs in my daily life. That’s one of the reasons I’m excited to join Rover — I’d love the opportunity to spend time with dogs again while giving them lots of care, attention, and companionship. have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care. On weekdays, I’m available for morning walks before 9 a.m. and anytime after 2 p.m. I’m also available throughout the weekend. I’m a morning person and really enjoy walking, so early morning walks are always welcome! I can also provide pet sitting at your home, including overnight stays when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep the pet’s usual routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, and I’ll always respect the client’s home and keep it clean and tidy. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing while you’re away.

We always encourage a meet-and-greet before the first stay to ensure your dog feels comfortable with us and our resident dogs. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member! 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: Growing up with dogs has taught me just how special and unique every pet is. I currently care for my two Chihuahuas, including my 12-year-old senior dog, which has given me firsthand experience in managing senior pet care, tailored walk routines, and attentive companionship. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own family. Whether it’s a refreshing neighborhood walk or cozy companionship, my priority is making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and thoroughly cared for while you’re away. I work full-time in retail with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily plan my pet care services around my shifts. I am available for early morning walks or drop-ins before work, evening visits, and overnight house sitting. On my days off, I have open availability to give your pets all the attention and care they need Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly follow their established routines for feeding, medication if needed, and exercise to minimize any stress. I keep the environment clean, secure all doors and gates, and ensure pets are always supervised on walks. I also make sure to keep owners updated with daily photos and messages so they have total peace of mind.

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: 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’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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in kindergarten, starting at home with my own dog, then working at a local pet salon while also volunteering at a animal shelter. As a fluent English and Chinese speaker, I can communicate easily with both pets and their owners from diverse backgrounds. I’ve walked, fed, bathed, and groomed dogs of all breeds and sizes and I take pride in making every pet feel safe and loved. Customers, friends, and family have trusted me for years, and I treat every dog like my own. As a UBC student, I balance studies with pet care, my schedule is flexible! I’m free after 2pm on weekdays, and available all day on weekends (Saturday & Sunday) plus Monday. Whether it’s daily walks or playtime, I’ll ensure your pup gets the attention they deserve while you’re at class or work. I provide dog walking and drop-in services, ensuring a familiar and safe environment for your pet. Without any pets of my own, I offer undivided attention and a zero-risk setup for interactions or health concerns. I will keep you updated with photos and messages during every walk and playtime.

“Carol was wonderful and took care of my dog while I was working during the day. I met with her before hand and could tell during our meet and greet that she would be a lovely match for Raven. I will be keeping Carol in mind for any future dates when I need help looking after my dog!”

About: I adopted my poodle in 2018 when he was very skinny and shy. With lots of love and care, he grew into a happy and healthy dog and lived to be a wonderful 12-year-old senior. But my lovely HuaJuan passed away in Nov 2025. I’m experienced with older dogs and always patient and gentle. I’ll care for your pet like my own — making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I work a 9 to 6 job on weekdays, but I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — I take care of my own 12-year-old poodle every day, so walks, feeding, and companionship are already part of my life. I’m happy to provide care before or after work, and I have more flexibility on weekends for longer visits or walks. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed — from feeding times to favorite toys — and I never leave dogs unattended. Walks are safe and structured, and I only take in pets I can give full attention to. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a German Shepherd who I raised from just 2 months old until he was 10. I also cared for another German Shepherd and a Belgian Shepherd from around 6 months old until they were 3. They were a huge part of my life, and I spent countless hours with them at my family’s country house—feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and simply keeping them company. Leaving my home country was especially difficult because it meant leaving them behind, and I still miss them very much. Those experiences are a big part of why I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs. I know how much they mean to their families, and I treat every dog I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I’ll be doing Rover together with my girlfriend, so your dog will have two people giving them plenty of care, attention, and company. We both love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring, or simply relaxing together. I believe the best pet care is when your pet barely notices you’re gone. We’ll do our best to keep their usual routine, whether that means their normal walk, dinner right on time, playing when they’re energetic, or simply hanging out when they want some company. Every pet is different, and we’re happy to let them set the pace and make themselves comfortable. Flexible enough to work around your pet’s routine, because it’s easier to care for an animal when you’re not trying to convince them to adapt to yours. I have a spacious, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can relax and play. I’ll follow their usual routine, including walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention, so they feel comfortable and at home.

About: We have had pets most of our lives and understand that they are part of the family. We will create that bond we share with our own pets.

Our Availability: Monday - Thursday: After 5:00pm Friday - Sunday: availbale all day Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always our top priorities. We believe that a clean, safe, and comfortable environment is essential for every pet to feel happy and relaxed while in our care.

About: I’ve taken care of my own sweet dog for the last eight years, and my friends and families pets periodically for the last four years - I’ve loved animals for my whole life! I’m currently a CAREGIVER for my father at the general hospital, so I go to the hospital often with him. We are there for about 2-4 hours 2x a week, but other than that I have complete availability for you and your dogs. Inviting me to your home to take care of your pet is quite the honour, and I’ll follow whatever rules and expectations you have for me as I look after your pet.

About: Been in the veterinary industry since 2015. Was in wildlife refuge before that. Graduated from the Thompson Rivers University's Animal Health Technology program where we learned extensively of animal care and behaviour. I have a sassy seven year old domestic shorthair which I love dearly. I will not be available between 9am - 8pm due to being a veterinary technician at various vet hospitals. However I can manage my time well before and after those times for dog walking and possibly sitting as well. I am well versed in the calm and playful care of cats and dogs from my 10 + experience in the veterinary industry. This program allows us to interact with various canines and felines in a daily basis.

About: Been around dogs since I was a baby, grandparents had a lovely dog and friends as well. Never had any issues and they always listen and obey. I am currently not working and have time to spend with others pets to help with daily walks and feedings and most anything else needed. I will care for them with the utmost respect and safety while having as much fun as possible and helping the pets be happy and comfortable

“Yan was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Peanut! Leaving a pet behind is always a bit stressful, but she made the entire experience seamless and worry-free. She was incredibly attentive, dependable, and kept me updated the whole time. It was clear from the start that Peanut was in safe, caring hands. I will definitely be booking her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier pet sitter!”
