Pet Sitting in Nelson

“Bailey has been a great help entertaining Miska and keeping her company while she is recovering from surgery, and we are very, very busy. I am very happy to have found her and would recommend her to anyone who needed a friend for their pet.”

“Highly recommended Chelsea! Very kind, friendly, and accommodating!”

“I can't recommend Any highly enough. She took such great care of our cat, sending photos and written updates daily. It made the typically stressful situation of leaving our 15 year old cat to go on a holiday so much more relaxed, giving us wonderful peace of mind. Her communication was quick, kind and honest. Highly recommended! Will absolutely book with her again.”

“Zara is absolutely amazing! We have a fearful dog and we spent an an hour taking things slow. River warmed up to Zara faster than we've seen with anyone else! Zara was compassionate, understanding, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Looking forward to future bookings!”

“Tammy was so sweet and amazing with our Saint Bernard while we were away! He needs some extra care with medication and she kept him right on schedule and checked in with us with updates and photos. Thanks for being so awesome Tammy, we appreciate your care for Saifu while we were away so much!”

About: I am a full-time nursing student, with past experience working in a vet clinic, so I have a great understanding of ways to soothe your pet if they get nervous while you’re away. I also am confident in providing first aid and CPR to your pet in the event of an emergency while you are away. I am also confident in pilling your pets if they are on any medications! I am a full-time nursing student, I’m currently in hospital 2 days a week and on campus 3 days a week. I generally don’t take bookings on hospital days due to the early mornings and time away from your pets. I’m available to stay ant your home overnight with your pet or pop in a few times a day, whatever you and your pet prefer. Ensuring that your pet is well fed and tended to before I leave for classes is my priority each morning. Throughout the week I will not be able to drop in on your pet during the day, as my classes run back to back, but I am more than willing to work with a neighbour or dog walker of your choice to make sure your pet gets their needs met! I like to ensure that I have a complete schedule of everything your pet needs during the day, including feeding times, walks, medications, playtimes, etc., which I am happy to create and send a copy to you prior to you leaving upon request. I also have roughly 3 years of experience working at a local vet clinic and have been trained in pet CPR, post-surgical care, and am able to recognize the early signs of many emergent conditions.

About: I've had dogs and cats all of my adult life. I have cared for an aging and ailing pets including a 14 year old Siberian Husky and a diabetic cat who lived to be 12. As a senior I have time to spend with pets and love to care for pets with any conditions I'm retired and have time week days and weekends to come to your home to feed and care for your pet. I am willing to stay over at your home if that is required. I have transportation and can drive to you if you live in a rural area. depending on your needs I can come to your home and stay over and as I said above I have a reliable vehicle so I can drive to you if you live in a rural area

“Whitney has spent a lot of time with my dog Freddie. She has joined us on walks, hang outs at the beach and on our property. Freddie is very fond of her, and Whitney is always an amazing help with giving him commands, keeping an eye on him and assisting on walks. She also lived with a housemate who had a dog for a couple of years. She created an incredible bond with her dog, Charlie. She took him on regular walks and helped with training. Whitney is an incredibly caring, reliable and responsible person and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of or walk their pet.”

“Couldn't recommend Brit enough! She has such a way with animals. She looked after my Staffordshire Bull Terrier every Wednesday for over a year, and spent countless weekends looking after her. She and my doggo had such a bond and that's one of Brittany's superpowers. She becomes friends with the animal she cares for. Her calm demeanor is really soothing for the dogs, they are drawn to her, and then they find out how much fun she is too! Couldn't think of a better person to care for an animal.”

“Rosa is awesome! I will definitely be booking with her again for caring for Milo. He was so chill when I got home. Thanks again, especially with the short notice.”

About: Pets are valued family members and I believe it is important to pick the right person to care for your dog or cat while away. Through pet sitting on Rover, I have gained experience working with many different breeds of dogs such as golden retrievers, pugs, huskies, bulldogs, sheepdogs, poodles, pitbulls, chihuahuas, and more. I have also taken care of several cats and house plants too. Personally, I own a standard poodle who is two and a half years old. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life, and have provided care on Rover since 2018. I’m very flexible with working around your schedule. I can provide care during the day, evening, or in the night. However, I do not provide hourly/constant care services at this time (for example if you need someone to come stay in your home from 8 AM until 4 PM while you’re away at work because your pet had a surgery and can’t be alone). I am located in Nelson and I am a university student with practicum shifts for school throughout the week. I also have classes once a week but they are online. I have a lot of flexibility in taking care of your pet(s), however, they will need to be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours at a time if I am at school. Generally I only have 1-2 days a week where I may be gone for up to 8 hours. I have been professionally pet sitting for a long time on Rover and I have experience pet sitting on the website Trusted Housesitters. I am highly reliable, trustworthy and tidy. I am happy to provide photos and updates via text or email while you’re away so that you can be assured that your pet is happy and is being well looked after. Please feel free to use this code if it’s your first time on the app, it will give you $20.00 off your booking: NATASP63257

“Dani is a confident, warm and friendly young lady, who absolutely loves animals. She is honest and reliable and, with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Behaviour, knows what she is doing. She is not only professional but flexible too and will always do her utmost to ensure your pet is happy and cared for to the highest standards.”

“Lily has puppy sat for us and taken our dog on many walks. She is reliable, kind, and our dog, Squid is always so excited to see her for snuggles and treats! Lily is great with sending us photos and keeping us up to date. You can't go wrong booking her to look after your baby!”

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid. I trained one of them and I was mostly responsible for them as my parents were working fulltime. I grew up with a Tibetan Terrier who I cared for when he was senior. I looked after a Chihuahua several times a week for over 5 years. My family got a Havanese puppy and I helped training her. I looked after her for over 4 years. I went for walks with lots and lots of dogs during the last 15 years. This includes neighbors dogs as well. I currently don't have a dog myself. I'm available throughout the whole week. I don't have a job right now which gives me a lot of time to walk dogs. I am very flexible with time and days. I provide various care to dogs with different behaviors and conditions. I make sure of the dog's wellbeing durings walks and playtime. I give appropiate food during visits.

“Salena administered injections of caninsulin on a regular basis to a family pet of mine. She was also instrumental in the training and care of my young dog. Very patient and good with animals”

“I have known Rebecca since our first year of high school . I always knew Rebecca as someone I can count on . She has a big heart and is always dedicated to whatever it is she is pursuing. She is great with animals, and we have often bonded over our love for them. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a dog caregiver, I would trust her with mine any time !”

“Emerencz has been our primary caregiver for our Dog Luna, cat Mimi, and our Bird. We have done extended trips for over 10-14 days with Emerencz being responsible for walks, medication admin, and helping entertain all 3 animals in our home. They have been the cleanest guest we have ever come stay in our home so far. Luna loves Emerencz so much that when they come over she just wants to be with them. We fully endorse Emerencz to take care of your pets.”

“Shelby was great and was very attentive to my dogs needs!”

“Angèle has taken excellent care of my dog over the past three years, from the time when my dog was a rambunctious puppy till the slightly more chilled out version that she is right now. Angèle does a great job of ensuring that my dog gets the adventure she needs, with lots of walks for exercise and using play for mental stimulation. Therefore, she was the number one choice for me when I needed some extra help over the winter and Angèle was able to take care of my chocolate lab for 10 days. My dog hardly wanted to leave after that and she gets extremely excited every time she sees Angèle again. I think they are best friends for life!”

“Hello! I highly recommend Tully as a responsible, loving, awesome pet caregiver. Tully has house sat for me many times and cared for my beautiful dog Ted, my chickens and my python. She’s basically a legend and has a heart of gold! Your pets will love her❤️”
