Top cities for house sitting in Canada

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Vancouver home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Vancouver.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Vancouver home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

As an international student, it has meant that I have left all of my beloveds at home (dogs, cats, horses) so I am in desperate need of some animal time to keep the homesickness at bay! I am currently in my fourth year of Univeristy and have one semester left at the University of British Columbia while I complete my student exchange.  
I have always had animal friends growing up, including dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, horses, and fish. Alongside this, I have plenty of experience pet sitting with many different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, cattle, etc. from pet/farm sitting in New Zealand. 
I am unable to take animals into my home, however, would love to walk dogs, do house visits, etc. so that your dogs/cats/other animals get the attention they need (plus more). 
I would love to meet you and your animals! 
Cheers, 
Heloise



Hello! My name is Laily and I am a proud owner of two adorable black cats looking to help out other pet owners by providing them with the same love and care I do for my own pets. As a kid I really wanted a pet of my own, so in the mean time I was eager to help out other pet owners whether that was playing with friends' pets and joining them on dog walks, or regularly taking care of my neighbour's dog on my own over several years as they travelled frequently. I loved spending extra time making sure she felt as loved as when her family was home, including extra long walks, playtime, and lots of petting. 
Now I have experience caring for my own cats for the past 10 years, including feeding, cleaning litter, playtime, and cuddles. I am a very responsible person and I will not hesitate to communicate any concerns or emergencies. As a pet owner I understand what it’s like to worry about your pet when you’re away, and i will make sure your pet is safe and keep you updated so you can enjoy your travels. I am also experienced at catching photos of pets in the cutest and funniest positions! 
I am excited to connect with you and your pets! :)

Hi There!&nbsp;
My name is Natalie and I have been a registered vet tech for 12 years. My love of animals has been a constant in my life. I have worked at small animal vet clinics for many years, I worked for 5 years as a vet tech at the Vancouver Aquarium, and have volunteered with spay/neuter clinics in both Botswana and Thailand. My motivation is to help animals in need. I am currently running a mobile vet tech business called Paw Pros where I provide at home services and support to pet parents. I cover a variety of types of appointments from routine nail trims to palliative end of life care. I find it really rewarding getting to know pets in their own homes and helping to be a part of the support team for pet parents. I am interested in doing more pet sitting and so here I am on Pawshake!&nbsp;
I have experience with emergency medicine and am capable and qualified to recognize and deal with potential emergency situations. I am able to easily administer medications, injections, fluids etc to your pet while you are away, leaving you with peace of mind to enjoy your time away.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I hope to hear from you and can't wait to meet your furry companions!&nbsp;

Hello! My name is Megan and I'm a Canadian freelance graphic designer. I pride myself on being warm and friendly, and also clean, reliable and trustworthy. I really enjoy spending time in new locations, learning new cultures and meeting new people. If I'm able to do it with an animal companion I consider myself truly blessed.
I have cared for animals for a majority of my life and for the past year, I have turned it into a dream come true by doing it full time. I have experience with both adult and senior cats, small and medium-sized dogs, birds and poultry, sheep, goats and horses. I also have experience with administering medications and tending to/monitoring illnesses like seizures, chronic anxiety and major fears that inhibit normal daily life.
In my spare time I tend to gravitate towards solitude where I can read, draw, walk and bike; and when the feeling is right, I also like being more social like visiting markets, beaches or parks.&nbsp;

Hey there! My name is Hamed and I am absolutely excited to be a pet sitter. Before you make a decision, let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I'm so passionate about providing exceptional pet sitting services.For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with two adorable cats. They've completely stolen my heart, and I can't imagine my days without their playful antics and loving purrs. This experience has ignited a deep love for cats and dogs, and honestly, for all animals! From the tiniest bird to the squirrels hopping around the yard, I find joy in every creature that crosses my path. What truly sets me apart is the connection I forge with animals. I believe that every furry friend has their own unique spirit and personality. It's not just about meeting their physical needs; it's about understanding who they truly are. I have immense respect for every single one of them, and I'm constantly learning from their wisdom and authenticity.When you entrust your pets to me, you can be confident that they'll receive the most comprehensive care. I'll get to know them and make a respectful connection, shower them with love, attention, and playtime, making sure they feel safe and cherished in your absence. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities.I would be absolutely honored to meet your wonderful companions and provide them with the care they deserve. Please don't hesitate to reach out so we can chat further about your specific needs. I can't wait to make new furry friends!

As a passionate animal lover, the most important aspect of sharing experiences with non-human animals is to do it without discrimination. The most wonderful thing I've learned from my experiences, is the forgiveness that traumatized nonhuman animals have towards humans through my experience at the cat sanctuary. I also strongly believe there are no "bad" animals, beings can choose to learn and grow no matter what their past experiences. Through my experiences I have learned and grown, seeing the beauty in every interaction I have with nonhuman animals. As a pet sitter, I want to learn and grow with you and your companions, providing unbiased and inclusive care for you and them!My experience includesVolunteering at RAPS cat sanctuary in Richmond since 2022Overnight care of my siblings 3 cats for 1 week in December 2022Daily drop in care of 3 rats for 3 days this July between the 7-9thFor references please request directly as I need to ask permission to give out personal numbers.&nbsp;My services include a wide range of animal care from birds, rodents, cat, dogs and more.&nbsp;I have experience with having dogs, cats, sugar gliders, rabbits, and birds as companions of my own. I also work with many different special requirements and needs such as oral medications, special diets etc. I can stay overnight as well as visit once or twice a day, and go on walks.&nbsp;

Hi, I'm Victor! I'm a young professional working in Tech in Vancouver. Originally from France, I moved to Canada in 2017.&nbsp;
In France, I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs. I spent most of my afternoons after school taking care of them. That included feeding them, grooming them, taking them to the Vet when needed, walking them, and of course playing with them.
Ever since I moved to Canada, I miss my dogs, therefore being a dog sitter came as an obvious choice when looking for hobbies.&nbsp;
I am really not doing this for money, but just to spend time with dogs. Here is what I do and when I'm available:

I can walk your dog every day (except on weekends) for 2 hours after 2:30 PM. I live in Kitsilano, so I would mostly walk your dog around Kits Beach and Jericho Beach. I am runner, so I could also go for a run with dog, if you want them to exercise.
I can do home visits for a couple for 3 hours after 2:30 PM, I can do other things while coming for home visits (water your plants or get your mail). I can telework everyday, so if you are comfortable with me working around your dog, I can spend the day at your house.

Feel free to reach out if you need more information, or have any question!&nbsp;
Looking forward to meeting you and your dog!

Bonjour! Je suis Victor, un jeune professionnel travaillant dans la tech. Je suis originaire de France mais je vis au Canada depuis maintenant 6 ans.
En France, j'ai grandit dans une ferme, entouré de chiens. En rentrant de l'école je passais toutes mes après-midi à m'occuper d'eux. J'entends par là les nourrir, les nettoyer, les emmener chez le vétérinaire quand nécessaire, les promener, et bien évidemment passer des heures à jouer avec eux.&nbsp;
M'occuper de chiens me manque énormément depuis que je vis ici. Devenir dog sitter s'est donc révélé être un choix naturel.&nbsp;
Je ne veux vraiment pas faire cette activité pour l'argent, mais juste pour passer un peu de temps avec des chiens. Voici ce que je fais, et quand je suis disponible:

Je peux promener votre chien tous les jours (sauf la fin de semaine) à partir de 2:30 PM pendant 2 heures. Je vis à Kitsilano, donc je promènerai votre chien vers Kits Beach et Jericho Beach. Je suis également un coureur, donc je peux aussi emmener votre chien faire un peu d'exercice.
Je peux faire des visites à la maison pour une duree de 3 heures a partir de 2:30 PM. Pendant ces visites, je peux egalament arroser vos plantes et aller chercher votre courrier. Je peux teletravailler tous les jours, donc si vous êtes confortable a l'idée que je travaille en présence de votre chien, je peux rester la journée au complet.

N'hésitez pas a ma contacter pour plus d'informations si besoin!&nbsp;
Hâte de vous rencontrer vous et vos amis à quatre pattes! 

Victor&nbsp;
