“Julie did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was out of town for a week. She sent me daily updates and pictures of my furry friends which was very comforting. I will definitely be reaching out to Julie next time I need someone to look after my cats.”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember (I’ve been sneaking animals in my home since I was in diapers😌), and being around them truly makes me happiest. I’m incredibly empathetic toward animals (I don’t even kill bugs!), so every pet in my care is treated with gentleness, patience, and genuine love. The dogs in my photos are my beloved old pups (Milo the Golden Retriever and Yoshi the Shih Tzu) Milo was 8wks when I got him and Yoshi was 5wks — I don’t currently have any dogs, but I do have two friendly cats at home. Lucy my tiny little black cat🖤 and Foggy my orange menace 🧡 (both rescues) I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs over the years, from large breeds like Dobermans to small breeds like Shih Tzus. I’ve also had cats my entire life so growing up half my cats were kitties I found, some even needing bottle feeding. I'm comfortable with all things feline — from playful kittens to independent seniors. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, birds, and many other kinds of pets throughout my life. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for like family. 💛 Haaay! 🌾 *ba-dum tss* As you see being a stand up comedian wasn’t my calling so here I am 🥲 My name is way too long so I just go by Mari I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of free time and even more love to give your fur babies! I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom! 😎 I currently live in Vancouver, Being home most of the day means I can give your pet plenty of attention, care, and one-on-one time. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays from 7am–4pm and Sundays from 7am–1pm, with flexibility whenever possible to help fit your schedule (I remember how hard it was finding help when I had my pups and ended up taking them to work with me) Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, a potty break, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to help! We will spend much time out exploring, enjoying fresh air, getting in plenty of movement and mental stimulation. Walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor adventures are very important to me in order to keep a pup happy and healthy! I’d love to be your fur baby’s (and yours!) new friend and help make their day (also yours!😌) a little brighter!✨🐾🩷 Expect lots of cute photos and videos so you can see your fur baby’s enjoying every walk, play session, and cuddle break.📸 Your fur baby's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — they’ll get plenty of love, cuddles, and care, and will feel right at home!🩷
“We have a very big and anxious dog who is hesitant around new people. This is the second time we had Annabelle watch our dogs and she has been so great with him each time. She is patient and kind and willing to move at his pace. She is also a great communicator and went above and beyond trying to make him comfortable.”


About: Currently a pet parent of 1 dog and 2 cats. Experience outside of rover taking care of peoples furry friends. Good with being an advocate and dealing with dogs who are more shy and nervous as I have a shy/nervous dog myself. I will be intentional about the care and support your pet needs. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and will be able to fit to most schedules in terms of the family and pet needs. Though we won’t host any pets at our home, I will make sure I have a full understanding of your expectations and needs when taking care of your favorite family member.
“Marissa is a fantastic pet sitter. My cats adore her and she gives them so much attention on her visits. I am always so excited to see her photo updates. My cats are not overly high-need, but she does a great job making sure their food is full, their water is fresh, and their litter boxed is cleaned. Marissa is very easy to communicate with and someone I absolutely trust with my pets. I have so much peace of mind knowing she will be there to take care of my best buds when I am out of town.”

“Michaela recently met Vino and is working in a relationship with him. She is very kind, attentive to Vino’s needs and keeps communication open with us as parents. We can’t wait to continue partnering with her for Vino’s care.”

“Lisa is solid gold! She has taken great care of our 2 cats several times during drop in visits. We get lots of pictures and updates. Per our instructions the cats get some wet food, dry treats and churu and Lisa creates a "charCATerie" plate for them, it is too cute. Lisa shares stories that make it clear she spends time with the cats learning their personalities. Lisa is reliable and clearly communicates times and any questions that come up. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing pet sitter! Very attentive to details and communicating! She made sure that Bravo was well fed and taken care of! Would highly recommend to anyone needing their pets taken care of”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, taking care of them is part of who I am. My entire high school career was centered around learning about and taking care of animals. I have trained pets, stubborn and well-mannered alike. Animal care and training just comes naturally to me and I have always felt a special bond with them. I have experience with special needs dogs, and I am willing to do whatever I can to make them feel comfortable. I also have experience with training dogs, and I'm extremely patient with pets that are still learning. I want to assure you that your pets are in capable hands; I can personally guarantee that I will love your pets just as much as you.
“Jennifer went above and beyond!!!!. Treated my pup like up a lot of attention, care and extra time. Loved all the commutation and daily pictures. Will definitely book with her again.”


“My wife and I had an excellent experience with Mayra! She took care of Pipinha (our lovely cat) for two days and did an amazing job. Communication was great — she sent daily updates, photos, and made sure everything was clean and organized when I got back. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. We highly recommend Mayra to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, and attentive. I’ll definitely book her again next time!”

“Pamela took wonderful care of our cat for a weekend with great communication and photos! He warmed up to her at the very first meeting. She really understands cats. We really appreciate the quality of care, kindness and attention to detail.”


“Victoria did an absolutely amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She made sure they received plenty of play time and pets, and even went above and beyond by returning to our home after her visit with them ended when their automatic feeders stopped working. I highly recommend Victoria as a sitter and will absolutely be booking her again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our kitties while we were away!”

Taking a chance on someone new can be nerve-wracking, but she was truly a blessing! She went above and beyond in every way and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She sent so many pictures and updates, which gave us such peace of mind, and it was clear our pet was getting lots of love and attention. She was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and reliable—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely be using her again!

We felt very secure with Hannah dropping in and letting our two dogs out, both dogs really like her!! - they had a great time while she was here and she was able to get them some exercise and out while we needed to be gone - We are really excited to have found you!! Cory and Elizabeth

Eric was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear how patient and caring he was. Eric followed all instructions perfectly, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and gave my standard poodles tons of attention and outdoor time. I came home to relaxed, happy pups — which says everything. I’ll definitely be booking again!
