“Absolutely lovely couple. Prompt, professional, and they very obviously love what they do. They'll be watching our dog over the holidays, so we'd set up some walks beforehand to get the dog comfortable with them. When he came home, I thought he was going to try to leave with them! Highly recommended.”

About: I have been a dog and cat owner for 25+ years. I have an active lifestyle and can keep your dog entertained and healthy throughout walks, runs, cuddling, and brushing. I have most experience with larger dogs (golden retrievers and huskies for example), but also am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I have trained my own dogs and can assist in training your dog/ following your training commands throughout my care. I understand the importance of building a relationship of trust with dogs and how to make sure they feel loved as well. I look forward to making some new furry friends! I work part-time and am mostly available in the evenings + weekends. Please message me for more details. My schedule posted is up to date. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home. I care for pets by frequent bathroom breaks, brushing, playing and cuddling of course.
About: Hi, I’m Kathleen! I’m an animal lover through and through, and I’d be so happy to help care for your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs and cats and I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping up with their daily routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy. I’m responsible, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I have a lot of free time at the moment so I can be flexible! I wake up pretty early and I am available week days and week-ends! While I don’t have a fenced yard, I always supervise outdoor play closely and make sure pets stay safe. I take dogs on at least three walks a day and love going to the nearby dog park for exercise and social time. Your dog will be well cared for and never left unattended outside.
“Scott is great with our big dog! 5 STARS! He built a connection and trust very quickly with our German Shepherd-Coon Hound mixed breed. Scott is reliable, responsive, and has an obvious great love of dogs. Scott is highly recommended by us and our dog!”

“Tammy has been walking Loki for quite some time. She is amazing with her and her little quirks meeting other dogs. Loki looks forward to her walks and is very vocal greeting Tammy now. Thanks Tammy you are awesome!”

“Chloé was so accommodating and very good with our dog. Our dog has some anxieties and Chloé made us feel very comfortable and we knew she was in safe hands. She also took lots of beautiful photos of our dog. Thanks Chloé!”

“Tamara made a few long out of town days easy by taking my high energy eight month out Australian Shepherd out for walks. She was a great communicator and it worked out seamlessly. Thanks for your help!”

About: I have had 4-legged animals for most of my life. I also know CPR for Animals and I am certified and have a Nursing Background. . . I am currently retired. I have had dogs and cats almost my entire life. I have a nursing background and I’ve also taken CPR for dogs and cats. I love animals and now that I have more time off I find myself looking after my friends and neighbour's dogs. Up until just a few weeks ago when I lost my little girl… I find I have way too much time on my hands and really miss four-legged companions. Warning… I will treat your babies like I treat my own. They will be loved, pampered and cared for. I will respect your wishes if there are certain things you don’t want them to have or if you’re trying to train them I will follow your instructions on what you want for them. But I hope you’re not going to mind when I spoil them just a little bit. I was also involved in the SPCA in the lower mainland and help them out when they needed someone. I have a fenced yard. I’m not too far from Mutrie Park. Depending on the Pet parents whether they would like me to come to them or if they’re fine with them staying with me. When they’re here, they have full range of the house which is pet proof….
About: My name is Sarah, I am passionate about looking after fur-babies & nothing makes me happier than seeing our pets be their happiest fluffiest selves. I have a cat and dog of my own and understand the importance of regular pee breaks, long walks & lots of attention. I also am in tune when understanding when they are trying to let you know they need something. I promise to keep you updated and give your fur baby all the love they need! I also have lots of treats for all allergies/needs & grooming tools if needed as well. I would be more than happy to provide references for myself and my husband if required for home stays to ensure you feel comfortable. Summary: I am a fun loving aussie, with a kind & friendly personality and work in the finance industry so I have criminal back ground checks as well.
“Maddy has been walking my Border Collie for several months and he always comes home super happy and ready for bed! Charlie needs a lot of exercise and play, Maddy has been great at making time in her busy schedule to give him the attention he needs. She always sends updates and feedback with lots of cute photos. I would highly recommend her and will continue to book her for as long as she has time.”

I like to keep a routine for the animals as well. I do not currently offer services out of my place.
“Marie France came to the rescue when we needed her help with our dogs and walked them while we were away. I have a more challenging pup and a senior pup but she took care of them both without any issues. We will for sure book her again.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and since I became an adult, I have provided pet sitting services for many friends and coworkers. I can provide a long list of references, including both a veterinarian and a vet tech. I work a flexible job that allows me to work from my home or yours. I can take breaks as needed to ensure your pet gets frequent pee breaks, and lots of snuggles and playtime (if that’s their thing, I’d also love it if they just want to chill out and watch me type away at my laptop). Pets are good company! I am not able to care for pets in my own home at this time, so I will come to you! I am a vigilant and reliable caretaker.
“Sara was able to walk Gideon last minute which was very helpful! She seemed very kind and trustworthy when I ran into her at the dog park the next day, and Gideon was happy to see her and her pup!”
