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 South Vancouver that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from South Vancouver 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 South Vancouver. 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 South Vancouver. 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 South Vancouver.

petSitting

My background is in customer service, travel planning, and remote support, which has trained me to be highly responsible, observant, and responsive. I’m used to handling different personalities, reading emotional cues, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavioral details, because I know how important consistency is for pets.
I also took care of my friend’s dog, Zuima for three months. I followed all the instructions carefully, including feeding her and taking her for walks twice a day. Sometimes I felt frustrated with my project, but whenever I saw her face, I felt instantly healed. This experience is one of the main reasons I want to be a pet sitter.
I’ve always believed that caring for animals is about patience, respect, and responsibility, not just affection. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve volunteered in Indonesia working with rescued elephants, helping care for animals that could no longer survive safely in the wild. That experience taught me how to stay observant, calm, and gentle around animals that are sensitive and emotionally aware.
I also support local animal shelters through monthly donations, as animal welfare is something I genuinely care about long-term, not just occasionally. These experiences have shaped how I approach pet sitting: I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and emotional comfort, and I never rush interactions.
When I care for dogs, my goal is to provide a calm, safe, and predictable environment where they feel secure. I treat every pet with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own.


Hi! I’m a professional dog walker and lifelong animal lover who’s recently made the exciting leap from the fast-paced world of film (where I worked as an assistant director) back to my true passion—caring for animals.
I’ve completed a dog body language course, am currently taking a pet first aid course, and I’m working toward a career in animal training. I’ve also got plenty of hands-on experience: I grew up on farms, worked at a vet clinic during high school, and share my home with a very opinionated cat who loves going for walks on a harness!
My background in film taught me exceptional time management, responsibility, and a strong eye for detail—skills I now bring to every pet sitting, dog walking, or house sitting job. Whether it’s a quick stroll, a weekend stay, or longer-term care, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, patience, and respect for their unique personalities and needs.
Looking forward to meeting you and your furry companions!&nbsp;


I've had dogs for most of my life. The dogs I have experience with are medium/big dogs --Alaskan Malamute, Golden Retrievers, Huskies. I've realized that the reason they bring me so much joy is because it doesn't take much to keep them happy. Just being able to go outside or spend time with the people they care about is enough. Seeing them happy makes me happy, and helps to relieve stress.
I currently do not have the space for my own pet, so would love to help take care of yours which will be a win-win situation for me and your pets! I find that generally, most pets warm up to me really quickly and we can definitely do a meet and greet to see how things go.
My availability varies depending on the proximity of your place and my time schedule. Usually walks could be in the mornings, afternoons or evenings from Fri-Mon. Please feel free to message me and I look forward to hearing from you!


Hello! My name is Paulina, and I absolutely love all animals. I truly enjoy spending time with them and giving them as much love and care as possible. I’ve had pets my whole life—mostly dogs and cats—so I understand their needs, their behaviours, and how to be a loving and calm companion for them.
I always make sure pets are not only safe and cared for, but also mentally and physically active, through play, attention, and stimulation appropriate for their personality and age.
By profession, I am a psychologist, which gives me a great sense of empathy, patience, and understanding—qualities that I bring to my time with animals as well. I currently rent a place where I cannot host pets, but I’m happy to offer drop-in visits at your home.
I accept all pets, whether or not they are vaccinated, and I treat each one with the same love and respect as if they were my own.&nbsp;


Hi! I’m Lena, a responsible dog sitter and walker in Vancouver. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry friend. Whether you need regular walks or temporary pet sitting, I’m here to help.

I have hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I used to have a Labrador, so I’m familiar with the needs of active and social dogs. I’ve also taken care of a Pomeranian multiple times, which has given me experience with smaller breeds that require a more gentle and attentive approach. When I lived in Bali, I regularly visited a dog shelter to walk the dogs and help them get the attention and exercise they needed.


I offer dog walking and in-home pet sitting for a few hours or several days, depending on your needs. I always ensure that each dog gets enough exercise, attention, and affection. My goal is to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet.

If you’re looking for a patient, responsible, and loving dog sitter, I’d love to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out and discuss how I can help.

Hello Pet Lovers!&nbsp;
My name is Kate, and I have over 20 years of experience in caring for big and small dogs including, 120lbs Newfoundlands, Labradors, dalmatians, poodles and terriers. I'm also a calm and responsible Special Education Teacher who will treat your furry companion with the utmost care and respect they deserve.
Growing up, my home was always full of rescue animals: dogs, birds, hamsters, a rabbit, a guinea pig, and fish. For me, these animals were not just pets, they were family members. Therefore, I truely understand just how important your companion is to you, and you can trust that they will be in good hands.&nbsp;
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and running, so I would be honoured to take your special companion on a stroll (or run at their pace, if requested) to their favourite park or familar walking route. For those with larger dogs, I'm 5'8" and fit, so your dog will also be in strong hands. 
I’m also available to make home visits, and I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for animals who are unwell, injured or older. If you would like a home visit, I will also treat your home with the utmost care and respect. The only homes I am unable to visit are ones with cats due to allergies (Sorry!)
Why am I interested in pet sitting? Well, my main motivation is simply to have some animal company in my life again as my current home does not permit pets. (And yes, unfortunately, because of this, I am not able to board any pets at this point in time.)
If this sounds like the right fit for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to ask questions or set up a meet and greet. I look forward to hearing from you.&nbsp;
Kate&nbsp;

Hi there! My name is Carl and I am a big fan of pets of all kinds, so I want to help you take care of yours.&nbsp;
I am a 30-year-old man and have lived with pets my whole life; growing up I had two dogs, two rats, and a cat, and now I have two cats of my own. Living as a renter in Vancouver, it's been hard to find a pet-friendly home that is big enough for a dog, which is a big part of why I want to help you take care of yours! I also absolutely love cats, and the more I have in my life the better.
I currently work as a metalworker on a weekend shift, which means from Monday to Thursday I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets! This means I am ideal for people who work Monday-Friday or travel for work often and need someone to help them out a bit with dog-walking and pet sitting during the week. Morning, afternoon, and evening are all fine for me; whatever helps you out the most!
Cats and dogs both tend to love me pretty quickly, and I don't think I will have any problems putting your pets at ease. I had a german sheperd and an australian sheperd growing up, so I have plenty of experience with big dogs and energetic dogs - and I love taking them for walks or hanging out with them.
My area has plenty of great places for dog walks, such as Memorial South Park, Macdonald Park, and Queen Elizabeth Park. I am also happy to come to you and walk your dog around whatever parks you have in your neighbourhood.
If that all sounds good to you, I offer the following services:

Dog Walking: I offer 30-45 minute dog walks. I will come to you, pick up your dog(s), and take them for a walk around your neighbourhood and any nearby parks before dropping them off back at home. I will not take your dog off leash unless specifically requested by the owner and only in enclosed spaces such as fenced off-leash dog areas at a park. Dog walking costs $18, with an extra $5 charge per extra dog. If you have a particularly energetic dog that needs longer than 45 minutes let me know and I am happy to work something out so I can accomodate your pet's needs.
Home Visits: I offer drop-in home visits. Depending on the pet and their needs I am happy to stay for up to 40 minutes per visit. During this time I can feed your pets, top up their water, take dogs outside to use the bathroom, administer oral medications, clean up after your pets, scoop litterboxes, take out any garbage, and do basic household maintenance like bringing in the mail and watering plants. I will send you (at least) one photo update per sitting and will absolutely take your pet to the vet if neccessary. Home visits cost $25 for one visit a day or $35 for two visits a day.
House Sitting: I offer overnight stays at your home with your pets. During this time I will do everything included in the Home Visits service while also providing 24-hour care and attention for your pets. If I have appointments that require me to leave the house during the stay I will let you know at time of booking. Overnight House Sitting costs $55 per day.
