“Gary and Carol are wonderful! Waldo almost jumps out of the car with excitement when we drive up to their place. They are by no means close in proximity but the drive is well worth it!”
“Steve cared for our older pitbull with all the love we would have given her at home. He was on top of her daily medications, gave her all the snuggles, and treated her like his own pup. We would highly recommend Steve and are thrilled to have found someone we can trust to take care of our sweet girl!”

Thank you for making Olives first night away so enjoyable for everyone! Kaitlin”

Kathy & Dean have been great with communication right from the start. All around great experience for us and our dog!”
“Peter and Missy are fantastic! They took excellent care of our dogs and provided daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. The only other time we have used this service to book care, the caregiver was also watching about six other dogs and we only got one brief note in the middle of the stay. With Peter and Missy, they only had one other dog for a short part of the stay, but the rest of the time it was just our dogs and theirs, Gunner. One of our dogs is blind and the other one is very needy, so we are always a little worried, but we did not have to be concerned at all. It was obvious that they were being given all the attention and care that we would hope for, and they became fast friends with Gunner. We will 100% use Peter and Missy in the future!”

“This is my second time booking with her, and she’s been amazing both times! She always lets me know when she’s on her way, sends daily updates with lots of pictures, and takes such great care of my cats. Being away from them is so much less stressful knowing they’re in such good hands. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative, and I always come home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter—I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was our second trip trusting Rigby to Misty's care, and we will keep coming back! Rigby was healthy and happy to see us when we got home.

She even left him a little toy which he must have enjoyed, because we found it in another room! :D”
“Zoe made sure my cat, Jet was well taken care of and loved. She left my house just as I left it. She sent me updates and cute pictures daily, kept my tomato plants alive, and even re-homed a spider who’d decided to take residence. Will definitely book Zoe again for future trips!”

She kept our plants in good condition despite an unexpected heat wave. She left the house very clean and we’d be happy to book her again.”
About: As a lifelong cat enthusiast, I offer personalized, care that honors the unique temperament and independence of every feline. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiarity, which is why I focus on maintaining their specific feeding schedules, litter box standards, and favorite play styles. Whether your cat is an affectionate lap-dweller who craves companionship or a shy soul who simply needs a quiet, respectful presence, I tailor my approach to their comfort level—never forcing interaction and always using a gentle, patient touch. My services include detailed wellness monitoring, fresh food and water, meticulous litter care, and daily photo updates to ensure you have complete peace of mind while away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your cats like family, providing the specialized attention and 'cat-language' expertise they deserve to stay happy and stress-free.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hockinson

“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”
About: I’ve spent over 20 years caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels, and what truly sets me apart is that animals aren’t just part of my schedule—they’re part of my life. I’m self-employed, which means I have the flexibility to be fully present and attentive, and my own dog goes just about everywhere with me. Dogs are woven into my daily rhythm, not squeezed into it. I’m especially skilled at reading canine body language and meeting dogs where they are emotionally and physically. I have extensive experience with off-leash dogs and understand how to manage freedom safely through awareness, trust, and clear communication. I’m also very comfortable caring for senior dogs—moving at their pace, watching for subtle changes, and providing calm, steady support. Whether a dog is high-energy and adventurous or older and more reserved, I focus on building trust, respecting individual needs, and creating a calm, confident environment where they feel safe and understood. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I’m self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to structure my days around the needs of the dogs in my care rather than fitting them into fixed blocks of time. My own dog is with me throughout the day, so caring for dogs is a constant, natural part of my rhythm. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide regular attention, timely walks, enrichment, rest breaks, and any special care a dog may need, whether that’s extra activity, medication, or a slower pace for seniors. I plan my schedule to ensure dogs are never rushed or left waiting and always receive consistent, attentive care. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, dogs have access to a spacious, fully enclosed ½-acre backyard with an 8-foot privacy fence, providing plenty of room to move, explore, and relax safely. Dogs have access to the yard through a dog door, allowing them to go in and out freely throughout the day based on their comfort level and routine. I use multiple baby gates and an external kennel to thoughtfully manage space and interactions. This allows me to separate dogs when needed, provide quiet time, or give individual dogs privacy and decompression breaks—always with my close attention and supervision. I can offer private space both indoors and outdoors, ensuring each dog has a calm, secure place to relax based on their comfort level and needs. I’m very attentive to group dynamics and individual personalities, adjusting supervision and space to ensure every dog feels safe, respected, and comfortable—whether they thrive on companionship or prefer a calmer, more structured environment.
“Tracy and her family took great care of my big guy! Plenty of attention and play time in the backyard, and good communication throughout. No reservations about having her watch him again.”
“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”
“Willow was great with my reactive, anxious dog. It’s challenging to find sitters knowledgeable and capable of dealing with his issues. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and I can tell he had a good time. Willow kept him busy with activities and gave us frequent updates. We will definitely use her services again when we need daycare.”
“There is only 1 thing I can say about Alexa and how she takes care of our boxer and that is "Amazing*. She is very good at sending us updates and pictures. She walks him multiple times a day. He is always worn out when he gets home.”
“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”
“Jenny was great! She was able to accept a very last minute request for doggie daycare. My pups came home last night and they are still snoozy today. I will definitely use Jenny again! :)”
“Tashi is doing well! Looks forward to going to doggie daycare with Brianna. Today, he tried to sneak out to the car when I left! He loves being around the kids and other dogs. Thank you for taking great care of him!”
“Marta and her family have become favorites of both us and our pup! We feel extremely comfortable leaving our boy with her for both short day visits and even an upcoming few day stay while we welcome our baby! We love seeing all of the pictures and updates while he is with her and he gets so exciting pulling up to her house. Cannot recommend enough!”

“Big heart and very patient with our extra large puppy who has lots of energy! Reliable and detailed in following directions for meds and our handling preferences. Our pup loves Tracy and we feel confident leaving her in Tracy's care. Great job!”
“Vivian was so great with our border collie. She has a past injury to her trachea so walking can be difficult for her, she was so patient with her and took her time. I definitely recommend her!”
“Our doggie loves his walks with Sarah! He recognizes her car, and actually watches for her when he thinks the time is right. She's punctual and friendly, and an obvious dog lover.”
About: I've had dogs all of my life, numerous breeds and energy levels. I've personally owned a Golden Retriever and now a Bernese Mountain Dog. I used to run dogs in college and I fell in love with dogs, so I thought why not get exercise with a furry friend by my side! I can work with various leashes/collars/harnesses, etc. I've trained dogs with basic commands and potty training. I would love for your dog to come meet us and our Bernese! I have a Bernese Mountain pup, so between working full time and raising kids, making sure my little not so little pup gets exercise and a lot of sniffing everyday is extremely important and has become a fixture in our schedule. Teddy is fully vaccinated and can provide proof, so no need to worry! I ran and walked dogs in college for 2 years and I loved it. I've had numerous dogs in my life time and I make sure the dog is comfortable and ready to enjoy the time with us! This stay be a dogs most enjoyable time of the day, so making it fun especially with our Berner while getting to the point is crucial. Whatever piece of equipment like leash, harness, collar or piece of walking equipment you prefer for your dog I will work with. Comfortability is huge for pups/dogs. Crate would be preferred if not potty trained. I can let pups out to pee during the night. We want your dogs stay to be the best and would be grateful for your trust in us!
“Kat was very good with my pup. Shes on time, very good with communication and most of provided excellent care for my pup. My shepherd was happy to be her ...such a wonderful vibe.”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I have taken care of all types of animals. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to take care of their animals, starting at a young age. I have taken in strays, rescued several dogs from shelters. I also volunteered for an animal rescue for several years and have fostered animals from time to time. I am the person who finds the pets at an event and stays with them the whole time. I have experience with dogs, cats including puppies and kittens, seniors, and animals with medical needs. I currently work only about 5-8 hours a week and have plenty of time to cuddle and walk your pets. Spending time with animals is my favorite thing to do. I will walk your dog twice a day, and can also take your pets on drives (with my pet seatbelt and/or car seat) if that's something you would like. Daily belly rubs are always included :) I have a fenced back yard. Pets are welcome to all areas of my home and always allowed on the couches and bed. I also have a comfortable dog car seat for dogs under 50 lbs as well as a collar/harness seatbelt restraint for larger dogs. I will take up to 3 dogs at a time, if your dog loves to be social (My home is two-story, with multiple dog gates should your dog need a break also). If your dog prefers to be the only animal around, please let me know and I'll let you know if I can arrange that.
“Nicholas was great with our dog! They are always on time, easily reachable, and commutative. Subie (my dog) looks forward to his walks with Nicholas and I feel stress free knowing Subie is in good hands and we have someone reliable to work with!”
“Great dog walker and even better person. She made sure our pup got all the walking she needed and was able to schedule on short notice. Definitely a life saver in a pinch!”
About: "As a dedicated and reliable pet caregiver, i will provide an experience tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that your dog is a beloved family member, which is why I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine—from specific feeding times and favorite walking routes to their preferred sleeping spots. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer who needs plenty of playtime or a calm senior who appreciates gentle companionship and belly rubs, I offer attentive, one-on-one care in a safe and loving environment. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and the same level of affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure your dog stays happy, healthy, and tired out until your return!" As a part-time employed Mom and Grandma, I like to be busy and have time to spare for loving more than just my family and pets. At this moment, I have 3 dogs and two cats, all who need my personal attention several times a day. I would love to do that for you too. I know what it’s like to be stressed about your kitty or dog while away and I can help relieve that, even for just a day or a week.
“Jessica did a great job with Toby! We really appreciated her taking the time to come meet him first and make sure he was comfortable. The walk went great and we appreciate the cute pictures!”
“Maureen is Absolutely fabulous! My dog absolutely loves her, and it’s easy to see why. She’s dependable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She also takes the most amazing pictures, which is such a thoughtful bonus and always makes my day. She is worth every penny, and I feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in such great hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Loreley goes above and beyond for our pup and always ensures to communicate with us. Loreley is always on time, sends us pictures and is respectful and professional. Our pup loves Loreley!”
About: Hello! I have experience taking care of small and large dogs, cats, fish, birds, horses, and small animals. Most of this is from pet sitting for family friends and neighbors, as well as taking care of my own pets. I also have some experience taking care of cats from a previous job that offered cat boarding. I’m comfortable giving oral medication and changing diapers if needed. I’m currently on maternity leave for the next 5 weeks so I have very open and flexible availability. I will have to bring my baby with me but as long as you’re comfortable with it, it shouldn’t affect your pets care in any way! I’m excited to get to know you and your furry friend! I strive to make this a positive experience all around and will ensure your pet has a great, safe time in my care. I value open and transparent communication and love sending pictures! You’ll receive regular updates on your pets well-being and happiness.

“Today was more of a meet and greet with my senior dog. Jack’s got some behavioral issues and isn’t the best with new people. Lyla was great. She had a very calming energy. Jack warmed up to her and was able to settle down and relax in her presence.”
“Brie is the exact type of person you'd want to care for your pet. She is attentive and intuitive to our little guy's needs as they chang from day to day. Our dog is so much happier on the days he gets walks, play time, and snuggles from Brie. She is awesome!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for over 8 years now! I love dogs and cats, but I’ve also cared for horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and more! I’m a full-time university student, but I’ll still have plenty of time to care for your animals! Especially in the evenings and afternoons! I’m free most of the summer as well! I have a big yard for your pups to run around in, and a friendly little pup of my own! I can crate your pup if needed, or I can also drop in to your home as well!
