Coco was very accommodating with my last minute request. She was very friendly and met me on time at my door and immediately Benji took off with her. It seems like they had a great hour long walk. I would book Coco again without hesitation.

Sarah has been so amazing with her 3 weekly walks with our pup Bennie. She sends updates and has even incorporated our training into her walks with him. He’s 7 months old and a bundle of energy so he can be a lot! Thanks for everything Sarah :)

About: I have over 7 years of experience raising my toy Maltese, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle care, and a consistent routine. My home in North Vancouver offers a large, private, and fully fenced backyard—the perfect safe space for active play. As I begin my journey on Rover, I am currently focusing on hosting healthy, well-socialized adult dogs (ages 1–8). This allows me to dedicate my full attention to their well-being and ensure they have a balanced, stress-free stay. I am very comfortable with the specific needs of small and medium breeds and love providing a cage-free, 'home away from home' experience where your pet is truly treated like family. [Special Offer: Complimentary 3-Hour Trial Session for New Clients] My schedule is incredibly flexible, and I treat every furry guest like my own family. Living in the serene Upper Delbrook area near Grouse Mountain, I prioritize one-on-one attention. Since I work from home, your dog will never be left alone and will enjoy a seamless routine in a peaceful, quiet environment. I provide a cage-free, stress-free 'home away from home' experience. Your dog is more than welcome to lounge on the sofa and snuggle with me. The highlight of my home is a massive, private, and fully fenced backyard (10,000+ sq ft) where your pup can run freely and safely. I offer 100% supervision, ensuring your pet is never overwhelmed by other dogs or children, as I have none of my own.

About: 💁‍♀️ Drop-in Visits • Dog Walking • Doggy Day Care • Overnight Sitting 🐱🐶 I’ve grown up with dogs and have 15+ years of experience caring for pets from many different families. I truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs—from relaxed companionship at home to fun, safe walks outdoors 🦮 I work from home, so pets receive plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections and have experience with raw feeding, always following owner instructions carefully. I have a 8-year-old cat and an 4-year-old Cavapoo, both friendly and fully vaccinated 🐈🐕 🏡 Home & Outdoor Space • Pee pads always available • 5 pet-friendly sky gardens • Nearby parks, trails, and occasional dog park visits (with owner approval) 🐾 Health & Safety Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and parasite prevention. Please share any medical conditions, skin issues, or special care needs in advance. 🚫 Note As I live in an apartment, I’m unable to accept pets that bark excessively or continuously. This helps maintain a calm and comfortable environment for all pets. 🗣 Languages I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, making communication easy and clear. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.🐾 🐾I work from home and pet care fits into my daily routine with morning and evening feeding, walks, and playtime sessions to ensure my pets stay active and healthy. I also include midday check-ins and short play breaks for mental stimulation. Weekly, I set aside time for thorough grooming, deep cleaning pet areas, and conducting health checks. Additionally, I plan special activities like outings or playdates to keep my pets socially engaged and happy. 😊 🏠 In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces, removing hazardous items, and providing secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest. I maintain trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement during training and play. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions, maintain open communication, and treat their pets with the same care and respect as my own. I also ensure a clean and stress-free environment by cleaning up after activities and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and their favorite toys. Additionally, I have a well-trained, calm, and healthy dog and cat, which further contributes to a harmonious and reassuring environment for all pets.

About: I can walk dogs big and small, always with your dog’s safety and well-being in mind when we’re outside. I can run with your dog to shake off that extra energy (theirs and mine 😆) Great at meal preps and saying “Good boy / girl!” I’m available during weekdays 9am-5pm for dog walking, and meal prep. I can’t do dog boarding right now coz the condo I’m currently living in doesn’t allow keeping dogs. Your dog will always be on leash outside to keep them safe. I’ll make sure your dog is hydrated, all settled down (and well-fed, if meal prep is needed) when back at home before I leave.

About: Growing up on a farm with various animals, I feel it’s just easier for me to understand their needs. Caring for animals comes very naturally to me and I love them like my own babies. Obviously I have always worked in the pet care industry and have been running my own pet boarding facility, back home, for the past 14yrs. My husband and I work but we always prioritise our kid and pets, so ur little fur babies will always be top on our list!! At home we have a fenced patio for ur little one to run around and enjoy in safety..and our 10yr old daughter is always ready to play a game of fetch or give ur little one a good brushing ! As ur fur baby will be the only one boarding with us , they will be the center of attention and recipient of a whole lotta therapeutic cuddles on a daily basis :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old—both my own family dogs and my neighbors’—so being around animals feels natural and comforting to me. With my Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) training, I bring a calm, safety-focused mindset and stay attentive to any changes in your pet’s health or behavior. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and let them build trust at their own pace. I also have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, from playful structure to gentle, supportive care. You’ll receive clear communication and regular photo updates, and your pet will enjoy a clean, quiet, peaceful environment where they feel safe and loved. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care. I’m home often and can easily fit in walks, feeding, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. Your pet will always have someone present, patient, and attentive with them. I offer boarding in a calm, clean home with a large fenced backyard, perfect for safe play and fresh-air breaks. Pets follow their normal routine—meals, walks, playtime, and quiet rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m home often and give plenty of attention, supervision, and photo updates. Your pet will have a safe, spacious, and loving place to stay.

About: Hey there! My name is Alex. I do many different things for work, all of which bring me joy on some level. I work in various restaurant and bar related jobs. I am also studying part time, working towards a nursing degree. I have an active outdoor lifestyle and love to share my time outside with dogs that need exercise. I also like to take dogs for walks- I am flexible and will adapt to the needs of the animal. I have had dogs on and off throughout my life. Although my current living situation does not allow me to have dogs of my own, I jump at opportunities to take care of other people's dogs. I currently have a cat and can similarly offer my services to take care of cats with more complex medical conditions, having plenty of experience administering insulin and respiratory medications. My cat has diabetes and asthma, and I've succeeded in managing both. I am currently working part time, so I am very adaptable with regards to your pets and their respective routines. I have an active lifestyle and a nurturing personality, so I get alot out of taking care of animals, especially those with special needs. I will provide services preferably in other homes only. However, small dogs (less than 25) pounds can be hosted in my comfy apartment. I have a cat that is well socialized with other animals, having been raised in a dog home and previously living with two other cats. I have never seen him hiss or swat another animal.

I have a 160lb mountain dog that needed to be walked as I healed from my surgery, finding someone who I could trust was scary but Shawn was great with my dog. I got the reassurance I needed that he was well taken care of. He is punctual and always had a smile on his face. He is someone who I can definitely see myself contacting in the future when I need help. If you are looking for a great reliable dog dad, you found him, he will not disappoint.

Brendan and Brooke have walked Django three times in the last two weeks and right from day one Django has loved them and so have they! It was just instant energy as if Django knew them from before and he was all over them. They are a lovely couple and they did an absolutely fine job of walking Django even in heavy rains and also playing fetch with him. Both are very energetic, and genuinely loved him. I appreciate how Brooke gives him a good wipe with his towel on rainy days before he comes inside. I am very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone for animal care.
