“Sarah is always so great with our cats - it makes leaving them much easier and we’re really grateful to have someone like Sarah that we trust in our space. Thanks Sarah!”
“Karin was fantastic! My girl Gertie warmed to her instantly and I felt so confident leaving them together, which means a lot as it was my first time and Gertie is quite anxious. They had a great time together and I could tell that Gertie had fun - I am so grateful. We've already booked additional visits together - I would highly recommend Karin.”
“Last year was the first time I booked Kash to take care of my cat, and I quickly realized what an amazing animal lover he is. With his calm personality and extremely well-mannered demeanor, he was able to look after my cat, Nina, and restore my faith in this app after a few difficult experiences. When my dog unexpectedly needed emergency surgery last week, I reached out to Kash again. As always, he accommodated my request quickly and provided incredible support. I truly appreciate that. Kash is very reliable and friendly, and I find him 100% trustworthy. From now on, I will only book him for pet care. Kash, you really deserve 5 stars!”
“Holly was great with our dog Coco while we were gone. She communicated clearly, asked good questions, and followed up well. We will book Holly again!”
“Absolutely the loveliest, kindest, and most professional young lady! I am more than impressed and delighted with Paige and how she cared for my little ones as if they were her own. 🙏❤️ Thank you for everything and for making me feel at ease and for the all the wonderful pictures and check ins!!!! The place looked amazing. 😊 We are so very grateful for you! 🥰”
About: I have always loved animals and had several of my own growing up. Instead of commiting to a full time pet, I am looking to fill my downtime with new furry friends. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I am happy to meet before any bookings to ensure we are the best fit. I live downtown and I can accommodate dogs under 40 lbs at this time as I do live in a small apartment. I am currently working full time from home and in order to ensure the best care, I will only host one pet at a time. I have no other pets, I do have a food and water bowl. I ask that you bring your pet's food, any treats and a favorite toy for their stay with me. I will not provide food or treats that you have not brought to ensure there is no risk to your pet.
“Angela is wonderful and has saved us a few times by agreeing to show up last minute! So dependable, clear communication and very kind, thank you!”
“Elena did a great job of taking care of Nova while we were gone for the week. Based on the pictures she sent, the two of them seemed to get along great. Will definitely book her again next time we have to be away from Nova for an extended period of time.”
About: Animals have always been present in my life, I cannot remember a time without them! I'm originally from England and grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and guineapigs. Dogs have always been my passion. I earned my certification in Professional Dog Training in 2013 after moving to Vancouver Island and have worked with and trained dogs ever since. I have experience in off leash pack hikes & private dog walks and have worked in a couple of busy doggy daycares which gave me a lot of experience and insight into canine communication, body language and group dynamics. As a dog trainer, I have worked with many different breeds, ages and struggles and as such, I'm comfortable and confident handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have three border collies who are all rescues from different backgrounds. They each have their own personalities and quirks and I love adventuring with them! I'm a big believer in tailoring our dog's exercise to meet their needs. If your dog loves to adventure in the forest, I'm up for it! If they prefer more sedate walks, sniffing and exploring their environment, I know some great sniff spots! If you have a puppy who is still learning about their world, we can have a great time exploring and socialising. I have my Canine First Aid certificate through DOGSAFE. I'm currently self employed as an artist so my time is flexible. I work from home and have time in my day to help other pet parents with their dogs needs and exercise. For all new clients, I arrange a meet and greet so we can get together to discuss your pets needs so we're on the same page. For drop in services, spending time with your pet in their home doing what they love is the ultimate goal! We can cuddle on the couch, play in the yard, play games, whatever your pet needs. For dog walks, knowing what your dog is used to wearing for their walks e.g. collar, harness, booties etc will ensure their safety and comfort. During the initial meet & greet we can discuss where your dog enjoys going on their walks and what type of walk they like the most so I can tailor the time to meet their needs. After the walk, I ensure they're settled back in the home, have fresh drinking water and have any snacks or enrichment activities set up before I leave. Your dogs happiness and comfort is my priority!
“Shirol is fantastic and goes above and beyond. My kitties are always happy and healthy with her, and I can be away knowing that they are safe and getting their daily snuggles and boops. I got back less than two days ago, and am already re-booking her ;) I recommend Shirol's petsitting services a thousand times over!”
“Sonya is lovely! She has a calm and kind demeaner and my girls feel immediately relaxed with her!”
About: Hello all 👋 **Promo Code:ALLANM31274 for first time Rover clients Ambrose and I welcome longer stays as well as short. I prefer arranging a 1 hour visit with your pup to evaluate if they fit. Also open to meet and greets. I've had pets all my life; two dogs, many cats, birds, fish, reptiles. I operate with only one or two guests at a time. My pup is Ambrose, a 13 year old, well behaved Blue heeler. He likes his space and is mostly concerned with my company, but doesn't mind house guests. I'm a very active person and happy to get out for a walk or hike and fetch at a park is a treat. My day job is with the federal government has me away from home Monday to Friday for 6 - 8 hours. It's very difficult on my neighbours if a dog barks or whines excessively when I'm away. My dogs vet of over ten years is less than a block away. I've got a secure fenced yard with windows that watch over the space. I have learned some dog first aid for hiking/camping. I'm the only person with regular access to my space, with emergency access arranged through a neighbour.

About: Since 2021, I babysat small to medium-size dogs for neighbours and friends. I love spending time grooming and playing with dogs and seeing their goofy personalities. I have experience administering medication orally. I am currently working from home 1-2 days a week and my weekends are flexible. I love taking walks in the neighbourhood so your dog will get ample exercise and play time. I spend time throughout the day playing with the dogs (or cats). Pets are also allowed in all rooms and to get on furnitures in my apartment.
About: I grew up with dogs as family members. We had 13 dogs in total when I was just 10yrs old and since then been enjoying life with my own fur babies 💕 Since moving to Canada, I’ve been missing my babies and would love to give some love and attention to your babies while I wait for my own babies 💕 I spend as much time as I can playing and feeding them, making sure they have everything they need. I walk them regularly to help them exercise.

Rebecca S.
“We are so grateful for Rebecca! Here’s why…. Rebecca has been working with us for years - with two different dogs. With our first, a rambunctious Rhodesian Ridgeback who was leash reactive with a bark designed to intimidate wild lions, Rebecca always saw his goofy and fun loving side and helped him build his confidence and find his calm when meeting new people and dogs. You see, Rebecca doesn’t just “walk” your dog, she gets to know them, and matches their energy, and takes them on outings that exercise them both physically and mentally. When she’s done her walk, she sends you pictures of their adventures lift spirits and the guilt of having to leave your fur-baby home alone during the day. They’re having a great day! After our Rhodesian crossed the rainbow bridge, we decided to adopt a very sweet, albeit nervous and confused rescue dog. An hour after signing the papers, we reached out to Rebecca because we knew she’d have the skills to help us bring the best out of our new furry family member. Rebecca did one-on-one lessons with us that taught us how raise our dog’s confidence and help her connect with us. Rebecca regularly walks our rescue now, and having recognized that this is one extroverted dog, she often has her meet new dogs. We always notice that our dog’s recall and leash manners are incrementally better after Rebecca has had her for a few walks. Can’t say enough about how much we appreciate Rebecca and the impact she has on our furry kids.”
