About: I've always had dogs around me since I was a baby. My mom taught me to love animals. I think all creature need to be loved and I'm good at taking care and loving them. I have a beautiful and happy pooch who enjoys to have company. I've taken care of my friend's dog and neighbors's. We will watch over your 🐶 with love, plays, walks, cuddling and food. Your dog will follow our routine with 3 to 4 walks a day. I usually work 4 days a week during 7 hours but I'll have some flexibility when having your dog over. I have a fenced and small patio in our ground floor unit. In addition, we get to enjoy a beautiful court yard in my building. Your fur pup is allowed to go on the furniture and bed.
About: Now accepting bookings for Summer & 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.
“Mandy and Jacky did a WONDERFUL job taking care of my two kitties, they were super communicative and took so many adorable photos and videos. I would recommend them to anyone!!!”

“Amanda is the best! She communicates professionally, and is incredible with my dog! He loves spending time with her, and I feel 100% comfortable leaving him in Amanda's care. She has always been flexible to meet my schedule, and is a pleasure to work with. Amanda will be my go-to dog-walker/sitter for a LOOOOONG time! Thanks Amanda! :)”

“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: I am a former dog mom who raised a female Shih Tzu from a puppy, and I firmly believe that love and intentional care help animals live longer, healthier lives. Her name was Java and she lived past 15 years and remained active well into her senior years. Some of my most cherished memories with her included dog walking, baths, car rides, bonding time, and trips to the park. I didn’t treat her as just a dog—I treated her as family because I truly loved her. In addition to my own dog, I have cared for other family dogs, nurturing them from puppyhood to adulthood with the same level of care and dedication. I have experience supporting dogs with anxiety and shyness, as my own dog experienced this and overcame it through building trust, providing positive reinforcement, playtime, and bonding activities that I provided. I love nature and adventurous activities, which allows me to actively engage and enrich the lives of furry friends. As a nurse, I am naturally empathetic, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and patient care. I live by the principle of not doing harm but always doing good—this extends not only to humans but also to every dog I care for. I aim to provide services that are tailored to furry friends, because every furry friend is unique and has different needs. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of furry friends because even though they cannot speak, they truly understand and feel when they are loved. My goal is not only to provide services but also to make a lasting, meaningful impact in the life of every furry friend I care for! Each service is personalized with unique care, some services include, Puppy Training 🐶 Experience with dogs at all life stages—from puppy to senior 🐶🐕 Experience caring for sick dogs🌡 and administering oral medications Enriching activities such as dog walks and playtime⛱️🏕🐩🐕🐶 Personalized services including progress reports📋 seasonal health brochures, meeting hygienic needs, and so much more🥰 I am a nurse currently in graduate school, which means I have flexible weekly hours and can provide dog services on a schedule that works well for you. I also offer weekend boarding with advance booking. I can also accommodate last‑minute bookings as well. I provide safe, personalized care in your home, following your preferences to ensure your pet is protected and your home is secure. You can count on me to treat your pet with love!

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.
“Josh dropped in on my cat for one week. He did a great job with feeding and cleaning up after a couple of messes. I found Josh to be very responsible and responsive to messages, between and during his visits. I will definitely consider bringing Josh in the next time I'm away.”

“Sarah was so wonderful with my senior dog while we were out of town for a few days. She took her on long walks, gave her lots of snuggles and made sure she was happy and well fed. I loved seeing the detailed updates on how her visits went each time, and felt that my dog was in wonderful hands with Sarah! Will absolutely book with her again in future. Thanks Sarah!”

This is the second time I’ve booked Trudy and she is super attentive and gentle with my cats. She not only makes sure the babies have fresh food and water and a clean litter box, but also gives them a lot of affection and treats. She is very gentle and kind with my shy cat, giving my kitten the space she needs but also making sure her wellbeing is being taken care of. Trudy is also super fast at responding so I’m never concerned that I cannot reach her. No doubt I will be booking Trudy again in the future.

Tianxin took great care of my cats during her drop-in visits. She was responsible, attentive, and made sure they were well fed and had plenty of playtime. I really appreciated how reliable and thoughtful she was throughout the booking — it gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. I would definitely book with her again!

Vivian was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was patient, gentle, and clearly very experienced with cats. She followed all our instructions carefully and kept us updated by sending photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Our cat felt comfortable with her very quickly. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!

Kateryna was fantastic! One of my cats requires oral medication which can sometimes be difficult, but she had no issues with this and both of my cats seemed super content around her. I especially appreciated her photo updates with each visit! Would absolutely recommend her services, and consider her for my own future cat-sitting needs :)

I can't say enough good things about Aliya! I made the best decision using her for my pet sitting needs, and also she is so sweet and amazing to talk to! She took excellent care of my Canary Darween. (Darween is a bird) Attention to detail, really good communication, and so friendly. This is the first time I went away and did not have anxiety and stress as I knew he was in good hands. I will be using her again for any services that I need, as long as she is still available :) Also recommending to all my friends that live near. Thank you again ❤️

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our 3 senior cats while we were away. She spent time getting to know each of their personalities and followed all of the instructions carefully. The daily check-ins were a real bonus! Thank you so much, Jenny!

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! :)
