When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Kitsilano that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Kitsilano to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Kitsilano. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Kitsilano. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Kitsilano.

Animals, especially dogs, have always played a big role in my life, and becoming a pet sitter is a natural extension of my love for caring for them. Unfortunately due to current life, I'm not able to house a dog, so I'm hoping to get puppy vibes through walking and sitting. Whether it’s going for long walks, keeping a routine, or just offering company and comfort while you're away, I find real joy in ensuring dogs feel safe, happy, and loved in my care.
I have experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away, and I’m proud of the trust I’ve earned for being reliable, attentive, and patient.
My goal is always to provide a calm, caring environment where your dog feels at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and giving them the care they deserve!&nbsp;


Hello! My name is Minju, and I have always loved spending time with animals. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets in my family, and taking care of them has always been something that makes me happy.

My sister has a 3-year-old female Pomeranian named Mungchi. I have helped take care of her since she was a small puppy — walking her, feeding her, and playing with her. She is full of energy and loves going outside, and I really enjoy making sure she gets enough exercise, attention, and love.

My father has a female cat named Coffee. She is sweet and independent, and I often take care of her whenever I visit. I feed her, clean her litter box, and spend quiet, gentle time with her. Because of these experiences, I am confident in caring for both dogs and cats and understanding their different personalities.

I am patient, caring, and very responsible. My goal as a pet sitter is to ensure that your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I will look after them with the same care and affection that I give to Mungchi and Coffee, who are truly like family to me.

Hello pet parents!
I know how hard it can be to trust someone new with your pet, I hesitate to leave my own dog in the care of others for this very reason. This said, I am always looking to expand my animal-loving community and want to be someone you can count on to take the best care of your fur baby. As a dog owner myself, I understand the value in a compassionate, reliable and responsible sitter.
I'm a mommy! ... to a handsome boxer named Hudson (added extra photos of him to my profile because he deserves the spotlight and I love him so much). I have completely fallen in love with being a dog mom and make sure to smile at every dog on the street.
I'm very comfortable with energy, nervousness and reactivity. I truly believe every dog is a good dog and there's probably nothing that would turn me away from a new furry friend. I understand that all dogs have different behaviours and needs, and it is my pledge to you that I will always prioritize their boundaries, safety and comfort.
I also have years of experience caring for cats through fostering, rescue work, and long-term cat sitting. I’m comfortable with all kinds of feline needs—whether your cat is shy, playful, reactive, needs medication, or simply prefers quiet companionship.
In addition to cats and dogs, I’m happy to care for small animals too! I’ve had bunnies, hamsters, geckos, and even a snake, so I’m familiar with different enclosures, diets, and handling needs. No matter the species, I’ll always ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
OFFERING SERVICES IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER - bookings outside of the downtown core will require an added travel expense. Thank you for understanding!

Hello!
Thank you for considering me as your dog walker / drop-in pet visitor. 
I've been fortunate to have been surrounded by pets most of my life — we always had cats and dogs growing up, and I was thankful to have been loved by the bestest and most wonderful French Bulldog in my adult life. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago, and I now live in a rental building with a strict no-pet policy. I can't help but greet every dog I encounter on the street, and have developed a deep desire to have pets in my life again - which is what led me here!
I live steps from the seawall and like to stay active. I love any excuse to get out especially if there is a doggo involved. Would love an opportunity for some longer walks or even hikes if you are interested in this for your dog. 
Please reach if you have any questions - I can't wait to meet your pets!&nbsp;

Loving and trustworthy pet walker based in Kitsilano!

  Dog walking for small to midsized dogs of any age!
  I do not specialise, but can help train your dogs for simple obedience tasks🫡
  House visits and feeding are also available - send me a message 


  I am a trustworthy Irish girly with a love for all animal life! 
  My fur baby Stella (mini schnauzer) lives in Ireland with my parents and I miss her dearly, we FaceTime every morning!! 
  I find peace in being with animals, they cure everything humans can't. 
  I am free most weekends and every evening after work (5.30pm), I cannot host animals in my own home but am very open to walking neighbourhood pets.

Please let me care for your fur-babies and get some puppy therapy I dearly miss! Send me a message with any enquiries for other services I'm open and willing the help! 🩵🩵

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;
