Dog Sitting Richmond

“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.”

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: 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 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: With two beloved dogs by my side and a lifetime surrounded by canine companions, my pet-care journey is infused with genuine love and understanding. Your pets’ happiness is my heartfelt commitment. Balancing remote work, my flexible schedule integrates pet care effortlessly. My husband and I share a love for animals, evident from the 2 cats and 2 dogs we had in our native country. Moving to Canada meant leaving them with family, and this job serves as a heartfelt connection to our pets, soothing the longing for their companionship. In both my home and my client's, I prioritize safety by creating a pet-friendly environment. Trust is built through open communication and adherence to specific care instructions. Whether in my space or theirs, I ensure a secure and comfortable setting tailored to each pet's needs. Recognizing that each animal has unique characteristics and special needs, I believe in adapting my care approach to suit their individual personalities, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience.

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.

About: My love for animals has been a lifelong journey. I have been surrounded by pets since I was born, and they have always been an important part of my life and family. Growing up with animals taught me to understand their unique personalities, needs, and the special bond they share with their humans. As a devoted dog mom for more than 16 years, I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience, comfort, and specialized care. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the physical and emotional needs that pets have throughout their lives. After saying goodbye to my beloved dogs, I decided to dedicate my time to caring for other pets with the same love, attention, and commitment that I gave my own. I understand that pets are not just animals; they are cherished family members. My goal is to provide them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel happy, understood, and cared for while you are away. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, medication support, or simply extra affection, I will treat them as if they were part of my own family. I am committed to ensuring they receive the care, respect, and love they deserve, giving you peace of mind knowing they are in caring and experienced hands. I'm a software analyst who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets throughout the day. Animals have been a part of my life since I was born, and sharing my days with pets has always brought me joy, comfort, and companionship. I believe that exercise is one of the best parts of the day, and taking your dog for a walk is the perfect opportunity to boost my energy while filling my heart with happiness. Whether it's a leisurely stroll, an active walk, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy being outdoors with pets and helping them stay happy and healthy. At home, I enjoy cooking healthy meals, reading, and relaxing with a good TV show. One of the things I miss most since my beloved dogs passed away is the comforting presence of a pet by my side. That's why I treasure every opportunity to care for animals, whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon together. Your dog's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a warm, loving, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel right at home. My home features a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I am fortunate to have several beautiful parks nearby where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and exercise. The residential complex is pet-friendly, quiet, and secure, making it an ideal setting for dogs to relax and feel comfortable. Inside my home, pets are treated like family. They are welcome to rest on the couch, explore the house freely, and find their favorite cozy spot. Since I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether your dog enjoys active walks, belly rubs, cuddle time, or simply relaxing beside someone, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a home away from home where your dog receives the same love, respect, and attention they receive from you.

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: 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 care taker for my father at the general hospital, so I go to the hospital often with him (2-4ish hours a few times a week), but other than that I have complete availability for you and your pooch. 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: 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: I am Paula Urquidi a 24 year old nursing student. I have always loved animals and pets! I have helped care for my mom’s golden doodle for 5 years and I decided it is time to expand my care for other people’s pets in need. Most of my lectures for school are remote so my schedule is flexible. Early communication can ensure a timely and adequate service for your pet. I will do my best to adjust to your pets needs :) I am a keener for walking so I can assure your pet will get enough exercise and great companionship. I am ready to drive to help out with pet-sitting needs and care.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep understanding of the care, responsibility, and patience required to look after a wide variety of animals. Throughout my childhood, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, giving me hands-on experience with their unique personalities, needs, and behaviours. Today, I continue that lifelong commitment as the owner of a five-year-old medium-sized dog. My lifelong experience has given me a genuine appreciation for animal welfare, strong observational skills, and the ability to build trust with pets of different temperaments. This personal connection allows me to provide compassionate, attentive care while understanding that every animal deserves to be treated with patience, respect, and kindness. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I'm currently taking some time off work and have a very open schedule. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether you're looking for short-term care, long-term care, or flexible scheduling, I'm happy to provide reliable, attentive care that works around your pet's routine. I provide care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their regular routine. I carefully follow all instructions you leave regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, patience, and companionship while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands.

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 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’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and truly love caring for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routine. I have experience administering medications, caring for pets during stressful situations, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also very clean, reliable, and attentive to details like feeding routines, walks, playtime, and keeping litter boxes and pet areas tidy. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to take frequent breaks throughout the day and be available for pet care during daytime hours, evenings, and weekends. This flexibility makes it easy for me to adapt to each pet’s routine and provide them with attention, walks, playtime, feeding, medications if needed, and companionship throughout the day. I currently have a pet-free home, so visiting pets would have a calm and quiet environment without other animals around. I live in a large ground-floor apartment with plenty of nearby green space, walking paths, and a large field right beside my home for walks and outdoor time. Dogs would always be kept safely on leash during walks and outdoor breaks. I also make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for by maintaining a clean, safe, and relaxing environment that fits their routine as closely as possible.

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: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is a combination of genuine passion, hands-on experience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior and welfare. During my time at UBC, I became fascinated by everything dogs are capable of. I raised a PADS (Pacific Assistance Dogs Society) puppy, socializing her across all kinds of environments - classrooms, transit, busy public spaces - to prepare her for life as a service dog. She has since moved on to advanced training, and watching her develop has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. This journey gave me an intimate understanding of service dog training, behavior shaping, and what it takes to raise a confident, well-adjusted dog. I was also involved in animal welfare research at UBC, which means my approach to care and training is grounded in evidence-based techniques. I'm knowledgeable about which tools and methods genuinely support canine health and wellbeing, and which ones don't. Beyond that, I've cared for dogs of all kinds: big, small, skittish, reactive, blind, deaf, elderly, and diabetic. Whatever makes your dog unique, I've likely worked with something similar, and I genuinely love the challenge of meeting each dog exactly where they are. I'm observant, communicative, and deeply committed to making sure every dog in my care feels safe and loved. And honestly, I just really want to play with your dog! 🐾 I work full-time, but I have lots of availability in the evenings for walks, playtime, and giving your pet some extra attention! I’m also available for weekend house sitting starting Friday evenings, or for multiple visits throughout the weekend. As a passionate pet sitter, I create a welcoming environment in my client's home. I follow familiar routines, provide tailored care, including exercise, mental stimulation, and medication administration if needed. I prioritize open and frequent communication with clients and ensure pets' happiness, comfort, and safety at all times.
