“I am a new resident of the Northern Okanagan and prior to relocating when I would have a few days away from home I had family close by who would care for my cats, Norman and Lester. As typical when it is something new - I was excited that I found Debbie, but still a bit anxious at leaving the “boys” for an extended number of days. Well, I had nothing at all to worry about and I knew everything would be great when I met with the sitter and the cats came right over for hellos and pets. The daily snaps of both cats - looking at her as though they were looking at me - and being outside - which - thank you so much - was over and beyond what I had asked for and expected. I’ve been home an hour and both cats don’t care - they’ve had their attention needs taken care of by Debbie and I guess I’ll be the favourite again once the food dish is empty! Thank you so much Debbie for being so great!”
“Brooke was great! She took great care of our cat - Pippin. We were away for the week and she came and did house visits while we were away. We received many photos of Pippin while we were away, it was great to have piece of mind. Highly recommended!”
“Shelley is a literal earth angel who truly loves animals deeply. Every check in update was detailed and also made me giggle as she really got to know my cats personalities haha this was my first role using Rover and I’m so glad I found Shelley on here! Hired her for while we were gone during our wedding weekend and felt completely at ease with trusting her to tend to the house hold ! (And medicating one kitty with no fus) will book again for future travels !!”
About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’m an avid adventurer and lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves daily exercise, enrichment, and plenty of love. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to take dogs on mid-day walks and hikes while also being fully present with them throughout the day. My lifestyle allows me to travel and meet new families and pets, giving me the opportunity to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care wherever I go. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits, so I understand the unique needs and responsibilities that come with caring for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or structured walks, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work remotely Monday–Friday, allowing me to be flexible with daily walks and pet care. For boarding, I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be left alone. I always ensure your pet gets plenty of exercise and regular potty breaks. I also follow your rules and routines, as I understand how important consistency is for proper training.
