Pet care experience
Ivan & Niamh Trusted Pet Care
We’re a reliable North Vancouver pet-care team, with myself, Ivan, as the primary sitter and main point of contact. I currently have full weekday availability for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, making us a great option for busy owners who need dependable daytime help. Niamh, my wife, supports early mornings, evenings, and weekends, so your pet benefits from extra flexibility and care. We both grew up with cats and dogs and are comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. We have owned several cats, and we also have experience with larger active dogs, including a German Shepherd Collie mix. Our focus is keeping your pet comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. That means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, litter or bathroom breaks, and calm companionship while you’re away. We’re especially good with pets who need patience, consistency, or a gentle approach. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and attentive care. Whether you need weekday walks, vacation pet sitting, or drop-in visits, we aim to make things easy for you and stress-free for your pet.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend booking with Ivan and Niamh! ⭐️ They cared for our higher maintenance 13 year old dog for two weeks in their home and provided constant potty breaks, fun walks, and gave him his daily meds. Communication was excellent - quick responses, regular updates, and many photos were shared throughout the stay. They paid great attention to detail to our care instructions, and our dog was very happy with them. They are first class sitters whom you can certainly trust with your fur babies. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Ivan and Niamh!
We found Ivan and Niamh through rover.com’s neighbourhood search. They looked after our beloved cat, Peko, for a week. Ivan and Niamh did an amazing job, sent photos each day. I would highly recommend their care services, lovely couple. Thank you!
Ivan was very communicative, sent lots of photos and was very attentive to keeping my dog safe on a very hot day. My dog had a very relaxing time at Ivan's place.
Loki had a fantastic time with Ivan & Niamh - his favorite thing is going on walks and they took him on really big walks everyday! He came home tired and happy! They were also able to accommodate last minute changes - really appreciate them and won’t hesitate to recommend!
Loki had a fantastic stay with Ivan & Niamh! They took Loki for massive walks which got him nice and tired and very happy! They are very prompt and detailed in their communications. They are definitely his favorite sitters! Looking forward to our next stay!
Ivan and Niamh were fantastic with Luna. They followed our instructions and kept us up to date with daily messages and photos. Luna had a great time and we will definitely book with Ivan again.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We know many pets feel safest in their own home, so we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. We carefully follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions, while giving them attention, exercise, and companionship based on their personality. We respect your home, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is secure after each visit.
A typical day
Every day is tailored to your pet’s routine, personality, and energy level so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Dogs can enjoy walks, playtime, outdoor breaks, feeding, and lots of attention, whether they prefer active fun or a calmer pace. Cats receive feeding, litter care, interactive play, enrichment, and companionship based on their comfort level. We focus on keeping pets happy, engaged, and relaxed, with regular photo updates so you know they’re doing well.
