“Our Hugo was well taken care of by Mariia and Vini! Hugo had some problems with his paws and Vini & Mariia communicated promptly and regularly with us to find a solution. They gave him lots of walks and TLC. We found Vini and Mariia through a friend’s recommendation and we are so grateful! We will absolutely seek out their services next time. Highly recommended!!”


“We are very happy repeat customers. We always feel confident leaving our fur babies with Dana. She sends us the cutest videos of them and they are always so content and peaceful when we get home. Thank you, Dana!!”


“Isobel did a fantastic job looking after Finn on short notice. She took a genuine interest in his care and provided daily updates. Would recommend Isobel for dog walking or dog sitting.”


“Yichun was amazing! She stayed at our place to look after our two cats while we were away, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent regular updates and super cute photos, which really helped us relax while we were gone. Both our cats were happy and calm when we got home, they might have missed her more than us when she was gone! The house was spotless when we got back, and everything was just as we left it. You can tell she really cares. We’d 100% recommend Yichun and hope to have her back next time we go away!”


“Lindsay was so professional and responsible. We would definitely have her look after our spaniel again. She went the extra mile, ensuring she was here before we left and stayed until we arrived home. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Lindsay was taking excellent care of our canine family member.”

About: I have taken care of cats with a variety of needs including medical. Happy to look after dogs too as I love being with my friends and their pups. I am able to work from home as needed and have a flexible office where dogs are welcome. I have a car to help transport and know all the great spots by my work for all the walks! I have stayed in homes many times and can help look after your pets/garden/plants etc.. as needed. Happy to sit around the city as well as further out.

“Mimi has been my go to sitter for my dog Izzy ever since she’s been a puppy. I really rely on Mimi for dog sitting when we are away to take good care of my dog. Mimi is reliable and the absolute best sitter. It’s also really convenient that Mimi does dog walking for those days when we are out on day trips.”


“Tiana has been a life saver to our family and little 5 months old puppy. We had a short trip planned but so much chaos going on before the trip which didn't leave me any time to give her much details about our puppy or the house, we literally just left! She housesat and took care of our puppy so well, cuddled her so much! Willow looked so happy when she met Tiana the first time too. We're not experienced with Rover or even having anyone housesitting but Tiana is truly amazing. This was our first trip away from our puppy so it was quite stressful for us but we're so happy we found Tiana on here. She is very trustworthy, kind hearted, very punctual, respectful and cleans our house (didn't need to at all), and most importantly loves our puppy and cares for her like family <3 Thank you Tiana!”


“Ema and their partner Cindy looked after our house and our dog for just under 2 weeks over the holidays. They kept us updated with pictures and videos every day and treated our home with respect. I have absolute trust in them for looking after pets as well as house sitting. We came home from vacation to a happy dog and a spotless home. 10/10 would book again!”


“Susanne was amazing! She was flexible, friendly and reliable. My cat loved the company while I was away and took to her right away. And Susanne sends photo updates! Would absolutely book her again.”


“Aunty Daphne (as we call her in this house) once again did a wonderful job caring for my two scallywags. When Daphne is cat sitting I know I have no worries and will always come back to a clean home and happy boys. 10/10 will always recommend!”


“Pamela provided excellent care of our rather high maintenance cat during our 2 eeek vacation. It was a great arrangement as she works from home and our house has a home office. Link was healthy and happy when we got back. We will be booking Pamela again.”


“Rachel is just perfect! She sent us multiple updates everyday and is very communicative! I am sure Snowy had a blast with her :) She also took care of the house and left it much much cleaner than when she came in :) This is our second time with her and she will always be our goto person whenever we travel :)”


About: I have a 5 year old pup. Been pet sitting for over 7 years now. I just love doggos and wanna make some extra cash :) I work Tuesday, Thursday afternoons and all day Saturdays so that makes me available for Rover on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I walk my dog everyday so I can bring him along if your dog likes the company :) I treat dogs with patience and kindness. I like to go on long walks on nice days and take pups to the dog park. Cuddly and playful dogs are my fav :)

About: Hi! I’m Aliya, and energetic, outdoorsy person who absolutely lives animals. Over the past 4 years, I’ve been dog walking and dog/ house sitting for family and friends. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle session, or just making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I bring care, responsibility, and genuine affection to every visit. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet — and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel loved, active and relaxed. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet your furry companion! I’m currently not in school and am not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am available for anytime. For dog walks, I do not need any notice but for overnight stays a minimum of 1 day notice is preferred. When I care for pets in a clients home, I stick closely to their routines to keep things familiar and stress free. I make sure that my clients pet is fed, walked, played with and comforted. I always treat my clients homes with respect and keep them updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pet is well cared for.

About: Now accepting bookings for Spring & Summer 2025. Located near YVR Airport. Perfect for whenever you go out of town. My partner (Margy) and I (Ryan) have dog sat for our friends and family. Most of our experience includes taking care of our family dog Paris (yorkie poo), various poodle mixes and senior dogs. We prefer to work with one small to medium-sized dog, with no health conditions, and potty trained. We care for one animal at a time, and we do not have any other pets living with us. We do not have experience with dogs that have special needs. We are fairly active people and would love to take your dog out for long walks and play fetch. We integrate pet care into our daily lives by making your dog’s routine part of our own. Feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles are all part of the day — just like they would be at home. We prioritize a clean, comfortable space and believe in creating a loving, structured environment that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. Whether we’re caring for pets in our home or theirs, we focus on comfort, safety, and routine. In our home, pets have their own cozy spaces to rest and play, and we keep things calm and familiar. When we’re in a client’s home, we follow their usual routine closely to help pets feel secure and at ease. Every visit is personalized with plenty of love, attention, and tail wags. On the first day, we spend time observing your beloved pet and making sure they are comfortable. Margy works from home, so she will be the one to spend the majority of the time with your pet.

About: I have experience with my neighbor’s dogs who trust me to feed, watch and walk them. I have had cats and a dog throughout my whole life. While growing up with my dog, I practiced tricks and good manners. I am an industrial design student here in Richmond. I am free on weekends and Monday to Wednesday. I have an active lifestyle and enjoy walking about town and in parks. I have a legs for walking and a bike to travel to the dog/s. I enjoy the park and trails. I try to keep the walks to the side streets and parks to preserve a sense of safety. I have a first aide kit if inquired.

About: I am an animal lover and have had a family dog my entire life. Currently I have an energetic 12 year old Portuguese Waterdog that I love to spend time with and go on daily walks with. I have plenty of experience with many types of dogs as I frequently have family friends pets stay at my home where I take care of them for many days at a time. I am very active and confident in my ability to ensure your dog will have their activity and energy needs met during drop ins or walks! I am a very accessible university student taking online classes. Given the flexibility of my courses, I am available every day of the week, specifically: Monday-Sunday: 9am-10pm I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of grass. I have a 12 year old portuguese waterdog who is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs.
