Pet Sitting Richmond

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: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. My dog Dexter, a Shih Tzu-Poodle cross, was my constant companion for 19 wonderful years before I recently said goodbye to him. I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own yet, but I would love the opportunity to give that same love, care and attention to yours. I also volunteer with Soi Dog Foundation in Thailand during my yearly visits, where I spend time with the dogs, walk them and help with their care. This has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities and backgrounds, and has helped me become comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, with plenty of cuddles, walks, playtime and attention. I’m patient, reliable and attentive and I always want the dogs in my care to feel safe, comfortable and loved. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering oral medication, so I’m comfortable providing a little extra care when needed. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. For daycare and boarding, I build their routine around each dog's individual needs, including their usual feeding, exercise and rest schedule. For dogs staying with me for the day, I typically provide walks in the morning, around lunchtime and again around dinner. Boarding dogs also get a bedtime walk, for a total of four walks throughout the day. Walks are generally around 30 minutes or longer, depending on the dog's age, energy level and exercise needs. I also have a small fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time. Between walks, there is plenty of time for play, companionship and relaxing at home. I live in a pet-friendly condo with my own small fenced yard and plenty of green space and parks nearby. My home is a comfortable, calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I take the safety and wellbeing of every dog in my care seriously. When a dog first arrives, I take the time to get to know their personality, routine and comfort level rather than expecting them to settle in immediately. I follow their owner's instructions closely and maintain their normal feeding, exercise and daily routine as much as possible. I’m usually home with the dogs in my care, and if I need to go out briefly, I keep the time away from home to a minimum. I also make sure I understand any important behaviors, sensitivities or special needs before caring for a dog so I can provide a safe and comfortable experience.

About: We’re the kind of people who get ridiculously excited when a pet wants to play or decides it’s cuddle time! Animals have always been a huge part of both our lives. Tianna grew up with multiple dogs and has continued to care for dogs throughout adulthood, while Tyler was a proud cat daddy for over 17 years. We bring hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, along with a very patient and attentive approach to pet care. We both genuinely love spending time with animals and are happiest when we’re playing, cuddling, walking, or simply keeping a pet company. We’ve both spent most of our lives around animals and genuinely love caring for them. We take the time to learn each animal's personality, routine and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. We want every pet staying with us to feel like they're part of the family! Our schedules give us a lot of flexibility for pet care. Tianna works from home and can provide pets with plenty of companionship, attention + potty/play breaks, and Tyler is available after work by 3pm. We have plenty of time for walks, play sessions, cuddles and relaxing all together. We’re happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and we can accommodate weekday, evening, or weekend care depending on the service and your pet’s needs! 🫶 We live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide a calm, supervised home environment. Tianna works from home, so pets are rarely without human companionship during the day. We want your pet to feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us! 💕 We take the time to learn each pet’s routines, personalities and comfort levels before their stay and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. We make sure they receive appropriate walks, playtime, meals, bathroom breaks and plenty of rest, always taking their individual needs into consideration. For drop-in visits, we provide the same attentive, personalized care in your pet’s own home. We’ll follow their usual routine, give them food + fresh water, provide bathroom breaks, playtime, walks or cuddles as needed, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy before we leave. We’re happy to follow any specific instructions you provide and can send you pictures and updates during each visit so you know your pet is doing well!

About: For about 8 years now I’ve been a loyal dog/cat sitter for my friends, teammates and clients. I have a special place in my heart for animals and am happy to care for them! Whether they love belly rubs, long walks or cuddles, you can count on me to provide top notch care for your animals. I’ve had multiple cats all throughout my life as well and love caring for them so much! I’ve volunteered at multiple cat sanctuaries so I have a strong understanding of them & their needs. I currently am available for walks, check ins and house sittings! Whether it’s during the week or on the weekend, I will have plenty of time to spend with your animals and give them lots of attention! I love going for long walks with pups and playing for as long as they need! My care will typically look like regular walks/trips outside, playing with the animals, giving them lots of time to sleep, regular feeding & treats when necessary and overall just doing what I can to make the pets time away from home/ their owners as enjoyable as possible! I have a safe and clean environment for your pets and I will ensure that there are no safety hazards within my house!

“Lucy honestly is so sweet! She was able to manage my two large dogs with grace! Thrilled to have found her!”

“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: Now accepting bookings for Fall 2026. Located near YVR Airport. Perfect for dogs who enjoy being the only dog. We don't have any other pets living with us, and we care for one animal at a time. We (Ryan and Margy) 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 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: In my role as a pet caregiver, my approach is shaped by years of experience not only in pet care but also in child care, which has given me a unique perspective. Both animals and young children are sensitive, easily influenced by their surroundings, and need consistent, patient attention. This background has deepened my understanding of pets’ behaviors and emotions, allowing me to offer truly attentive, individualized care that helps each animal feel secure. With each pet, I take the time to observe and understand their unique personality and needs. I adjust my approach to help them feel at ease, whether it’s following their meal times, exercise routines, or favorite play activities. This mindfulness ensures everything is structured yet calm, respecting their pace and helping them feel comfortable in their routines. One area that sets me apart is my experience with basic training, especially with younger pets who may need guidance with potty training or socialization. Through gentle, consistent reinforcement, I help them build good habits, ensuring they feel more confident in new settings or around other animals. My approach is also highly adaptable, as I know each pet and situation is unique. This flexibility allows me to respond calmly and appropriately to any issues, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. In my daily pet care schedule, I start each day with a visit in the morning to ensure the pets are fed, litter boxes are cleaned, and some play time or a short walk if applicable. During my midday visit, I focus on spending time with the pets, engaging in interactive play, and checking on their health. In the evening, I visit again for feeding and more play time. This is also when I thoroughly clean the litter boxes and check for any health issues to ensure that each pet is satisfied and safe for the night. As a pet caregiver, I understand that it is important to balance caring for pets with maintaining a personal life. I create a flexible care schedule for each pet that allows time to meet their needs in my busy daily life. By scheduling feeding, walking, and playtime in advance, I am able to use my time efficiently and ensure that each pet receives adequate attention. In addition, I use a few pet care apps to track feeding times, health, and training progress. These tools help me better organize my schedule, reduce the likelihood of forgetting, and ensure that each pet is cared for on time. I am able to find a balance between pet care and my personal life, ensuring that both my pets and I enjoy a fulfilling and enjoyable life, which also makes me feel more fulfilled at work. As a pet caregiver, my first priority is to ensure that pets live in a safe, trusting and comfortable environment. To this end, I will carefully check the environment before each care to ensure that there are no potential hazards, such as poisonous plants, wires or small objects, which may cause harm to pets. And use safe traction equipment to ensure the safety of outdoor activities. I build a trusting relationship with each pet through gentle interaction and patient companionship, while regularly giving feedback to pet owners about their situation to ensure that they are reassured by my care methods. To create a comfortable environment, I will provide pets with a quiet resting area, clean their living space regularly, and provide personalized care services based on the personality and habits of each pet, so that they feel happy and at ease under my care.

About: I provide calm, reliable care for dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m attentive to routines, exercise needs, feeding schedules, and behavior cues, and I take extra care with senior dogs who need patience, consistency, and a gentle approach to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m pretty free every day. This allows me to be flexible with scheduling, provide consistent attention, and adjust my time around each dog’s needs for walks, feeding, play, and companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s established routine to reduce stress, ensure doors and gates are secured, use leashes at all times during walks, and closely monitor behavior and health. I respect the home environment, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.
