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 currently live near the border of Vancouver/ Richmond and work as a nanny. 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 before I began my nanny job mid day. I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a walk or stop by and feed your cat when needed! Available evenings and weekends too! 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.

Working with animals would be much more than just a job for me—it would be something I would genuinely love and enjoy every day. I have always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a part of my life since I was a child. I truly enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, giving them affection, and learning their individual personalities and needs. I would be very happy and grateful to have the opportunity to work as an animal caregiver in Canada because I would be able to combine something I am passionate about with my desire to help and care for others. I know how much our pets mean to their families because my own animals are an important part of my family too. I would care for every pet as if it were my own, with patience, love, responsibility, attention, and lots of affection. For me, seeing an animal happy, comfortable, and well cared for would be incredibly rewarding. I’ve been around pets my entire life, ever since I was born. I’ve had more than 15 cats, 5 dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, rabbits, chickens, hens, roosters, and even a monkey! In Mexico, I also used to walk and take care of many animals. I’m a very loving person, and I absolutely love playing with animals, petting them, and giving them lots of affection.

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.

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’m from Edmonton originally and during expo I relocated here. I saw there was a real need for Home and pet care while people were on vacation, or in hospital or otherwise needed assistance. I was working in a local hospital and I started being the Dog nanny for the doctors and staff I live in North Vancouver at this time in my 18 year-old is off to university so it’s just myself and anyone fuzzy feathered or Fin I can take care of. I go to the local beaches and dog parks daily and I’m not working so I’m at home the majority of the time. I started walking dogs when I was a little kid and then I started a dog walking Service. That expanded to home care and pet care. Then I worked at animal shelters and rescues. I love the real variety of all animals. Even the ones other people don’t want to deal with they specialize in rodents and parrots in particularly dogs. Let’s discuss what you need.
