About Rachel

15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi there,

My name is Rachel. I'm a really active, high-energy individual with an extreme love and passion for animals. I really care for animals and want to provide the best services possible. After all, they deserve only the greatest!

I truly believe that each animal is unique and therefore needs to be cared for with an individualized experience. That's what I'm hoping to do for your best friend,

More about me: I've been a vegetarian for most of my life, and grew up with a variety of animals. I teach fitness classes, so I'm happy to do all sorts of activities with your animals. Really love the outdoors, whether that be trail walks or hiking. Or even just playing around! I have the motto of dogs over people, just because they're so darn cute!

Services: animal-walking & sitting, and really anything that helps make your life easier! My place does not allow animals but I'd be more than happy to come pet-sit at your place. I have a car, so location is not really a problem. I'm available weekday early morning and evenings from mon-thurs, and any time from fri-sun! Contact me if you're interested. :)

Rachel was great! She made house calls while we were away to look after our two senior cats. She administered insulin shots to our diabetic cat and sent picture updates with her spending time with them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

About Lucy

15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello,
I am an animal lover from Australia that resides in the west end. My experience is predominantly dog walking and pet sitting for animals of all shapes and sizes.

Unfortunately we just moved into a new place that is not dog friendly so we can only provide dog sitting and walking services. I am offering the services of myself and my partner, we are both physically fit and love the outdoors.

I am a occupational therapist by trade and have many transferable skills that will help in caring for your pet. We are available 7 days a week with very flexible hours. We mainly service the downtown area and have references and criminal check upon request.

Thank you for reading and we hope to hear from you.

About Laura

Ever since I was little I’ve always had a dog in my life and other pets as well! For me, a pet has always been a part of the family and that is exactly how I treat them. Like they are my own with love and affection! I live in a large 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment with a den and sunroom. I’m located super close to lots of parks and dog areas just minutes away to go play and have fun:)

About Colin

3 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
**require a pet meeting before we agree**

I am a 33 year old guy with 20+ years of caring for cats & dogs. I also have my own dog, Blackberry, who I've had for 3+ years. She spends half her time with her other dad and half her time with me.

During the time Blackberry's away I'd love to help you care for your furry friend. I love animals and need the fix when Blackberry is away!

If you've read this far: I work 10 minutes from where I live. When Blackberry is here, she is home all day... I know some dogs are not okay with this. Happy to accept weekday bookings but I do work 8-5(ish). Weekends I will be with your dog the whole time. Weeknights too. To that end though, if it's a weekday booking I can easily come home multiple times daily :)

I only book at the moment when my own dog is away.

About David

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi everyone. My name is Dave and I'd be honoured to look after your pet(s)! I am a big animal lover and have lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I know how nerve-racking it can be for both owner and pet when owner goes away and my aim is to make it as comfortable as possible for everyone!

I don't have any pets at the moment because I can't quite commit to one full time because of work travel etc. I live downtown in a fairly small condo, but I'm very active and I'd love a partner in crime for some seawall walks/jogs. I work 9-5 downtown as well and often come home for lunch so your little guy or gal would be on his or her own for no more than a few hours at a time. My brother and his girlfriend live down the street and this has worked out well because she is a nurse which means she is often available during weekdays to help out with walks, etc while I am at work. I'm just one block from a great dog park too. On weekends, I'd welcome a furry hiking partner!

About Marybeth

Hi there!
My name is Marybeth. I am a sustainability designer and artist. I love nature, plants, flowers, and animals. I've been dog sitting and caring for animals in some capacity my whole life. Unfortunately I find myself unable to have a pet in my building so I am looking for more interaction with animals. :)

I work from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pets. I tailor each quote to the animal(s), their care needed, your location and travel time for me. Please get in touch if you are interested in setting up a meet + greet!

Cheers,
Marybeth :)

Marybeth was amazing with my 2 big dogs!! Walking my rescue fogcan be a challenge but she handled her reactivities calmly and appropriately. Thank you so much Marybeth! I was actually able to enjoy my time away knowing my dogs were with you.

About Océane

14 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello,

I live in West End and I love animals. I can't have dogs in my building and that makes me sad. This is why I decided to join this website. I work remotely so that gives me flexibility to take care of your animal especially during weekdays. I used to have a dog for 14 years and she passed away recently. She had diabet so I was used to making the insulin injections. I also had cats in the past so there is no problem for them too. I would be glad to cuddle your animal while you have to go to your work or other activities.

About Lydhia Marie

3 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi!

I've always LOVED animals! Probably more than I love humans... hehe :)

I grew up with a dog and a cat at my parents' house and as soon as I left for university, I got my own dog, Bookie, a pomchi who lived with me for almost 4 years, until he got sick.

I've also taken care of my father's dog, Vanille, a nine-year-old golden labrador retriever, for more than a week at a time on several occasions.

I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs/cats, feeding them, and making sure that they have everything they need, including all my attention, long walks, and all the love in the world. I've also taken care of an incontinent, sick dog for a few weeks, giving him oral medicine, so I would have no problem caring for a senior animal.

I've trained my own dog to use a pee pad, sit, stop chewing on other people's hands, and to do some tricks too, so do not hesitate to ask for my services if your dog is a young pup!

Oh, and one last thing: I tend to care for other people's animals as though they were my own and I will enjoy every minute spent with them, so please request a reservation any time and I'll work my schedule accordingly.

Looking forward to meeting your animal (and you) for a chat!

Reviews

Lydhia was wonderful!! We wanted to find a petsitter who would stay in our home and care for our pug Hazel while away on a trip as she is easily stressed. Hazel has some special needs and so leaving her is always difficult but when I met Lydhia I knew I had found someone who clearly loves animals and would be caring and kind to our little 'girl'. She was conscientious about asking the right questions and made the time prior to our leaving to visit and ensure she understood Hazel's needs. We communicated via email while away and I was given updates and assured all was well. She cared for our home and for Hazel with great attention and I would not hesitate to book her again. It is a tremendous relief to know you have someone to rely on to look after your fur-baby!

About Danielle

20 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello, my name is Danielle and I have grown up loving dogs since I was a small child. I am an active, energetic person who would enjoy having a furry little exercise partner to spend some time with.

I volunteer with the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS) and I have raised and sat dogs for the past 4 years and have attended weekly classes on doggy behavior and training. Before PADS I volunteered at the SPCA for 3 years, so I am comfortable looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes.

I offer flexible boarding at my apartment. It is clean and clutter free. I live in the Olympic village and I believe it is a great place to look after your dog. There is a fantastic dog park nearby and the sea wall is just steps away.

I will do my utmost best to make sure your dog feels at home, safe and loved. Having a dog in the past, I understand how much they are like our children.

Please note for boarding I do work during the day on weekdays (7AM-3PM), so your pup would have to be comfortable on their own for 8 hours of the day.
