I currently live near the border of Vancouver/ Richmond and work in Gastown and Mount Pleasant. I love spending time outdoors and going on walks and hikes up in our beautiful mountains. I am looking for work primarily in the mornings as I start work around 8-9am in Gastown. I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a walk or stop by and feed your cat when needed! My experience in dog/ cat sitting includes being a nanny for a family with two young kids and an Australian shepherd. I worked for them full time for 1 year and now that the kids are older I do occasional dog sitting and babysitting for them. I have helped train their dog, taken her for many walks, feed, play and groom her as well. I have spent over nights dog sitting while they have been out of town. I have also occasionally watched friends cats and engaged with them, fed them and provided overall care.

Calm and observant, I'm ready to show your pets the care, attention and leadership they need! Having spent over 16.5 years with an extremely energetic shiba mutt who was a rescue with reactive tendencies, I am an expert at canine body language and reorientation! Indeed, I have a special place in my heart for sensitive and reactive doggies, ones who are in training and need a sitter to be consistent with that, and seniors with special diets and medications too. I love getting to know pets and understanding what they like and need. Hope to meet you & your furry one soon! (If you have any questions, please feel no hesitation in reaching out – I am a completely open book.) Calm and observant, I'm ready to show your pets the care, attention and leadership they need. Having personally parented several cats, including one who lived to age 18 (and needed insulin injections his last few years), and shared 16 ½ years of companionship with an ultra energetic and reactive canine buddy*, my animal experience is quite all-encompassing. (*Please see my dog experience details below.) Through some friends who live in a remote part of BC, I’ve even helped teach a rescued Canada Goose to fly (via bicycle!) and assisted in building an enclosure for and entertained a rescued raven. I’ve also done several house sits that included pets, and I can share the link to my profile on a respected house sitting platform so you can view my excellent reviews. On the homestead side of things, I’m very quiet, feel best keeping things tidy in a home, and have absolute respect for peoples property as we all work hard in life for what we have. I'm fit, with lots of energy, and don’t mind getting dirty so am open to yard/outdoor work. DOG EXPERIENCE DETAILS Two and a half years ago, I said goodbye to my canine adventure companion of 16 1/2 years, Grace. A Shiba mutt I adopted when living in Japan, Grace was a forest creature at heart, and particularly so after we moved to British Columbia. It was so inspiring to see how much she enjoyed her senses in nature! Of course her sharp instincts and above-average default energy level did, at moments, pose challenges. Particularly when she was younger! Shooting her arrow into my heart via an adorable portrait on a shelter's website, G-dog (one of her many nicknames) was 9 months old when she arrived into my life. As a first-time dog parent, her abundance of energy coupled with reactivity typical of rescues posed a learning curve! But, with a journalism background, I'm a determined researcher/applier of knowledge and found solutions specifically suited to her personality and particular trauma issues. Same was the case with her health, in her latter years. Losing her was super difficult and I'm not ready for another companion but have tons of affection and/or respect (not all creatures love to be hugged!) to give to yours. This includes reactive doggies, ones who are in training and need a sitter to be consistent with that, and seniors with special diets and medications too! If you have any questions, please feel no hesitation in reaching out – I am a completely open book.

I'm in my 30s, living in Canada, and speak Spanish and English - plus some French! I'm a trustworthy, organized, dedicated animal lover who will care for your pets and home as if they were mine. I've had the paw-fect experience caring for furry friends and homes, and I'd love to do the same for you 😊 I was raised in a nurturing environment surrounded by dogs, cats, and birds, thanks to my mom's compassionate habit of rescuing animals in need. This upbringing provided me with a solid understanding of the needs and care of various pets from an early age. After adopting my pets—Alana over seven years ago and Eli two years later—I regularly care for them, ensuring they receive consistent love and attention. I have gained valuable experience in chronic disease management while caring for my younger dog, Eli, who overcame a severe blood infection. This involved hospitalizations, blood transfusions, daily medication administration, and frequent vet visits. I successfully navigated the challenges of Eli's first year, demonstrating my dedication and commitment to pet health and well-being. I hope we can connect and meet your beloved pets! I'm excited to share my love for animals with your furry (or feathered) family members, ensuring they receive the care and affection they deserve! PS: About my dogs, I should clarify, they live with their dad and they don't join me on pet-sitting gigs.

I’m a 26-year-old with a very gentle and caring heart, especially when it comes to animals. Being around pets truly makes me happy — I love their innocence, their different personalities, and the way they trust you when they feel safe. I’m naturally calm, patient, and affectionate. Animals tend to feel comfortable around me because I respect their space and let them approach me at their own pace. I believe every pet deserves kindness, softness, and understanding — not just basic care. I pay close attention to the little things: how they eat, how they move, their mood changes, and their routines. I know that when pet parents are away, what matters most is knowing their furry family member feels loved and secure. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job — it’s something I do with genuine warmth and responsibility. I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family 🤍🐾 I have experience caring for both rabbits and dogs, and I understand that each species requires very different types of care, attention, and handling. With rabbits, I’m familiar with their sensitive nature and the importance of a calm, quiet environment. I have cared for bunnies by maintaining clean living spaces, monitoring their eating habits (especially hay intake), refreshing water regularly, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or digestion. I understand how delicate their health can be and how important it is to observe them carefully. With dogs, I have provided daily walks, feeding according to specific instructions, playtime, and companionship. I’ve cared for both energetic dogs who need structured activity and calmer dogs who prefer gentle walks and quiet company. I always prioritize safety, routine, and positive interaction. In every case, I follow the owner’s instructions closely and provide updates with photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

I love dogs and cats. In Japan, I had a small dog. I took him for walks every day, and on weekends we often went to large parks, rivers, and beaches surrounded by nature. I've seen many people walking their dogs in Canada, and I feel it's an even more dog-friendly and welcoming environment than in Japan. I signed up because I’d love to spend time with dogs here as well. In Japan, I had a small dog who is now 7 years old. For two years, I also lived with a cat, so I’m very comfortable being around animals and I really love them.

I am a flight attendant who has recently moved from Montréal to Vancouver. I love to travel, animals, and food. If you need someone who is flexible and loves your animal as if it were their own, then I am the one for you! Rest assured, your pet will be in good hands with me. :) I had a Chihuahua for 14 years and I love animals. I am always the one who disappears at a party to pet the animals. I love going for walks, petting them, and taking care of them. I lost my dog in last September, since then, I'm not sure if I want a new one, but I am more open to taking care of many animals instead of having one of my own at the moment.

As an incoming Grade 12 international student who has recently moved to Canada, I have always had a special love and affinity for dogs. I've gained a lot of experience in caretaking for these affectionate animals due to my pre-existing relationship with two wonderful dogs back in my home country, the Philippines. Having these two dogs for the majority of my life has instilled in me a significant amount of patience, understanding, and love that is essential in taking care of an animal. This bond has been so deeply ingrained in me that even though I'm in a different country, my passion for taking care of dogs hasn't waned. Back in the Philippines, my days were filled with activities involving my two canine companions. Feeding them, taking them out for walks, playing with them in the park, and even teaching them a few tricks - these tasks that were a daily routine, now, are fond memories I hold close to my heart. Living in Canada, away from my pets, has made me appreciate and miss these little activities I used to take for granted. All this has led to a significant interest in dogs, their behaviors, and just how we, as humans, can interact positively and productively with them. My previous experience and my inherent passion for dogs make me a dedicated caregiver for them. Being in Canada now, I look forward to creating new bonds and relationships with dogs and am eager to discover the unique breeds and their varying behaviors here. I can recall how much I enjoyed shared moments with my dogs back in the Philippines and I am delighted at the thought of new experiences with dogs in Canada. I am a pet lover and I owned two dogs in the Philippines. I take regular care of my dogs by feeding, walking, grooming, visiting the vet, and playing with them. no formal education from the above enumerations

I’m a responsible and caring individual with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with pets, most recently a large mixed-breed dog named Laris and a cat named Klara, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, whether that means going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company - as I work remotely, I do crave for that company myself. I’m settled, reliable, and have a stable routine, which allows me to be consistent and flexible when it comes to pet care. Outside of pet sitting, I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time outdoors. I do not have any reviews here as I've just started, but I can provide my profile on TrustedHouseSitters for more information and feedback. I have lifelong, hands-on experience caring for my own animals, including a large mixed-breed dog named Laris and a cat named Klara. Growing up with pets taught me daily care routines such as feeding schedules, grooming, exercise needs, administering basic treatments (like flea prevention), and maintaining a safe, calm environment. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also assisted friends and neighbours on an informal basis whenever they needed support. This has included checking in on their pets during short trips, providing walks, refreshing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with the animals to keep them calm and comfortable while their owners were away.
