About: My 3years and half dog caring experience includes providing walks, playing, care and overnight boarding to dogs while their owners are on vacation. Dog owners can confidently leave their precious pet for any length of stay. I adapt my services to for each unique pet – for example, for the energetic young husky, I walked her twice daily and would send her mom photos and videos regularly. I live a 5 minute walk from Fraser River side trails and a 3 minute walk from McCallan Park which has a fenced, off-leash area, much to the delight of my happy canine campers. I have three grown up children who love dogs, who will voluntarily give attention, play with, comb and try teaching your dog tricks. They can be counted on to keep an extra eye on your pet and can allow me extra flexibility, making sure your pet can always be looked after by someone if that’s what they need.

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.

Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
Much thanks to Foram for making house visits for our small dog Leo. We re-booked her for a second time. Foram got along well with Leo and he was looked after on walks, fed meals, provided fresh water and a quick mini groom to keep his face, paws and tail looking good! We appreciate your service! :)

We booked Susanne to look after our pets for the second time and once again, we had a great experience! Susanne visited our cats twice a day, not only administering an inhaler to one cat, but ensuring both cats were well loved and had play time. Each visit Susanne left a detailed report and sent pictures. I have no doubt, that we will book again in the future - thanks so much Susanne!

Grace was amazing with our two kitties. Grace visited for 1hr during our wedding day. I didn't want the kitties to be left alone all day and be without dinner. I found Grace here on Rover as she lived super close to our place. Grace played with our cats and followed direction on their feeding schedule. It seemed like our cats bonded with Grace quickly too! Thank you so much for everything! We appreciate your help!
