Availability

I'm currently working from home so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Each day starts with morning check-ins, walks, and playtime. I manage feedings, medications, and offer plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Evenings are for more walks, cuddle time, and addressing any specific needs. My schedule is quite flexible and revolves around ensuring consistent and reliable care, making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my life.

Information Rui T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs or behaviors I need to be aware of. I will be happy to assist your pet.

A typical day

I’d start the day with a delightful hour-long walk around the neighborhood. I live right across the street from Emery Barnes Park which conveniently allows me to take our Rover dogs there for multiple play sessions throughout the day. We‘d play a ball toss/fetch or chase game there, which I think is fun for high energy dogs. Another hour-long walk is scheduled during lunchtime to keep the dogs active and happy. I live in a 6000 sqft sub penthouse that offers plenty of space and a secure place for the dogs to relax during the day. They are free to roam around. After dinner, I will take the dogs for another hour-long walk to enjoy the beautiful sunset. For extended stays, we love taking the dogs on nature walks and hikes in local areas. Kits Beach is one of the dogs’ favourite spot in the city. Or we head to North Vancouver for hikes and trails exploring. But rest assured, ensuring safety is our primary concern, so we always keep our dogs on leashes while they enjoy their time at the park and bring plenty of water to keep the dogs well hydrated especially on hot days. I know that being away from home can be stressful for dogs so I customize all activities to meet each dog's energy levels, ensuring they have a varied and enjoyable experience!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Rui — an experienced sitter who works from home and provides personalized, attentive care for every dog I host. I live in a 6,000 sqft sub-penthouse in downtown Vancouver — a modern, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for dogs to move freely, play, and rest comfortably. The environment is quiet, safe, and perfectly suited for both active pups and dogs who prefer a calm, relaxed space. I am located right across from Emery Barnes Park (with its off-leash dog area) and just minutes from David Lam Park and the seawall, where we can take peaceful coastal walks and enjoy Vancouver’s beautiful sunsets. Because I work from home, your dog will always have company and supervision. I only host one dog at a time (unless they’re from the same household), ensuring dedicated, one-on-one attention. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need frequent playtime and potty breaks, as well as senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or mobility support. Each stay is tailored to your dog’s personality and routine, so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. ✨ What you can expect: 🦮 Minimum of 3 walks per day, customized to your dog’s needs 🦴 Gentle, specialized care for dogs with separation anxiety or health concerns 📸 Daily photo and video updates for your peace of mind 🏡 A spacious, clean home that feels like a boutique dog retreat If you’re looking for a sitter who truly treats your dog like family — with patience and affection — I’d love to meet you and your pup for a meet & greet. 💛

Rui was wonderful and very attentive with our dog. She gave us regular updates with pictures and texts of our dog during the stay. We were very happy with her care of our dog during our time away and we will definitely contact her again for future dog sits. Thank you very much Rui!

Rui was a great dog-sitter for my old shih tzu, really easy communication and responsive with updates throughout the day. Would recommend her services!
