Dog Sitting Richmond

“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.”

“Yaqiu is an absolute star cat sitter! She is so attentive and thoughtful, keeping his litter and water fresh and even offering to let his food warm up to room temperature before feeding time. Our Sam was doing his signature belly twirls for her (his ultimate sign of trust!). Will definitely book Yaqiu again!”

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with two daughters (19 and 16 ) and we are a loving, responsible family who truly enjoys caring for dogs. We provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home where your dog will be treated like part of our family. Since we don’t currently have a dog of our own, your furry friend will receive our full attention, plenty of affection, and lots of one-on-one care. We only accept one dog at a time, so we can focus completely on your pet’s needs and routine. We care for small and medium-sized dogs only, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment for them. 🐾 What we offer: • A clean, safe, and loving home • A front fenced yard for safe outdoor time • Daily walks and playtime • Flexible schedule (home most of the day) • Lots of attention, cuddles, and supervision • Regular updates and photos for peace of mind Whether your dog loves to play or prefers to relax, we will match their routine and make them feel right at home. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own ❤️ Our schedule is very flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom. Your dog will receive regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and constant supervision throughout the day. Because we only care for one dog at a time, your pet will always be our top priority. I provide care in a safe, clean, and loving home environment. Since I only accept one dog (or one family) at a time, I’m able to closely follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedule, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods and are treated like part of our family. They have access to a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with plenty of indoor companionship, play, and rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort in their familiar environment.

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 have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own German Shepherd. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I focus on providing patient, attentive care, making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while owners away from home. I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding depending on the booking. I make time for walks, play, feeding, potty breaks, and quiet rest so pets can stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment, and I always follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and care instructions carefully. I introduce pets slowly, monitor their behavior closely, and can separate them when needed to help everyone feel safe and relaxed.

“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: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet I look after. With a healthcare background, caring for others is a part of who I am, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and while they're in my care, they have my full attention. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to reinforce the training, routines, and feeding schedules that owners have already established. Whether your dog is a playful puppy learning good habits or a senior who needs extra patience, gentle exercise, or medication, I'll make sure they receive the care that's right for them. I'm also comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, which is why I provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos for your peace of mind. My goal is for your dog to feel loved, comfortable, and back home with a wagging tail 🐾🐶 I work full time during the weekdays, but outside of that I am available. Weekday evenings after 5pm work best and I am available all day on weekends. I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I respect each owner's routine and do my best to reinforce their established training, feeding schedule, and daily habits. Whether it's a walk or a visit to your home, your pet will receive my full attention, plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and enrichment. I'll also send regular updates and photos whenever possible, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furbaby is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Gini did an amazing job looking after our kitties! She had great communication and it was wonderful to know our cats were in good hands while we were away.”

“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!”

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.

About: My experience comes from caring for my own dog and other family’s dogs, so I know how to handle small, gentle pups with patience. I don’t take on dogs I’m unsure about. I stick to easy-going pets so I can give the best care possible. I go to school in the mornings, so I’m usually available after 2pm. I’m open for afternoon visits, evening sitting, and later drop-offs/pickups as long as we plan ahead. I keep things safe by sticking to the dog’s normal routine, watching them closely, and making sure they’re never in unsafe situations. I use a calm environment, no rough play, and I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, and care.

“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: Dogs and cats are my life。I have grown up around aninals。They are dogs、cats、mini chickens、fish、rabbits…My family and I moved from China to Canada 1years ago and greatly miss having pet。 I come from a pet-loving family and have experience caring for many types of animals. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and building trust with them over time. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to commit to regular and long-term dog walking. I understand how important consistency and routine are for dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m home most of the day and can reliably provide walks and check-ins at consistent times. I enjoy being outdoors, and daily walks are already part of my lifestyle. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to start with short walks or trial bookings to build a long-term relationship with both pets and their owners. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine. In a client’s home, I focus on safety, calm care, and consistency. I make sure doors and gates are secure, use the owner’s preferred leash or harness, and adjust walks based on the pet’s age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, basic cleaning of pet bowls, supplies, and crates, along with bathroom breaks, exercise, and companionship. I also share updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed.

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: I am a former dog mom who raised a female Shih Tzu from a puppy, and I firmly believe that love and intentional care help animals live longer, healthier lives. Her name was Java and she lived past 15 years and remained active well into her senior years. Some of my most cherished memories with her included dog walking, baths, car rides, bonding time, and trips to the park. I didn’t treat her as just a dog—I treated her as family because I truly loved her. In addition to my own dog, I have cared for other family dogs, nurturing them from puppyhood to adulthood with the same level of care and dedication. I have experience supporting dogs with anxiety and shyness, as my own dog experienced this and overcame it through building trust, providing positive reinforcement, playtime, and bonding activities that I provided. I love nature and adventurous activities, which allows me to actively engage and enrich the lives of furry friends. As a nurse, I am naturally empathetic, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and patient care. I live by the principle of not doing harm but always doing good—this extends not only to humans but also to every dog I care for. I aim to provide services that are tailored to furry friends, because every furry friend is unique and has different needs. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of furry friends because even though they cannot speak, they truly understand and feel when they are loved. My goal is not only to provide services but also to make a lasting, meaningful impact in the life of every furry friend I care for! Each service is personalized with unique care, some services include, Puppy Training 🐶 Experience with dogs at all life stages—from puppy to senior 🐶🐕 Experience caring for sick dogs🌡 and administering oral medications Enriching activities such as dog walks and playtime⛱️🏕🐩🐕🐶 Personalized services including progress reports📋 seasonal health brochures, meeting hygienic needs, and so much more🥰 I am a nurse currently in graduate school, which means I have flexible weekly hours and can provide dog services on a schedule that works well for you. I also offer weekend boarding with advance booking. I can also accommodate last‑minute bookings as well. I provide safe, personalized care in your home, following your preferences to ensure your pet is protected and your home is secure. You can count on me to treat your pet with love!
