“We feel very fortunate we found Anothai and Mersad for our dog Rex!! He is never stressed when he comes home. They take amazing care of him and give him tons of love. The pictures and videos we get daily are also very appreciated! We would 100% recommend them”
“I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about Tessa! 🥹💕 She was absolutely amazing with my dogs and treated them with so much love and care. She took them for walks, gave them so much attention, and sent me the cutest photos and updates every single day. It made me feel so comfortable and happy knowing they were safe, loved, and having the best time while I was away. She truly went above and beyond. It was also my birthday while she was watching them, and she even surprised me with a birthday gift when I picked them up, which was honestly the sweetest and most thoughtful thing ever. 🥹💗 When I picked my dogs up, they were so happy and clearly had been so well taken care of. It’s such a good feeling finding someone you completely trust with your babies, and I’m so grateful I found Tessa. She will forever be my dog sitter now! I couldn’t recommend her enough — she’s caring, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely such a sweet person. We absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”
“Kelene was so friendly and took in my dog last minute. My dog was so happy and tired when she came home and I ended up booking Kelene again the next day and my dog was excited to go in:)”
“Another great experience booking with Chalan and Joel. I always feel comfortable leaving Bentley with them, enjoy our catchups on drop off and pick up, and really appreciate how much love he receives from everyone there. Thank you.”
“Suzanne took very good care of our senior dog, Pepper. She kept us updated with how he was doing over the weekend. She is a very nice person and I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take good care of their dog!”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with Mellow! From the moment we met, it was clear how loving and attentive she is. She treated Mellow like her own, made sure she was comfortable and happy, and even helped administer her eye drops medication. Morgan was also incredibly flexible and kind about pickup time, which made everything stress-free. I felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was in such good hands. I would 1000% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Morgan!”
“I felt confident knowing Lenny was in good hands with Jeanine and her sweet little dog Teagan. She welcomed Lenny into her home and up on her bed and he felt very comfortable there. Jeanine has a huge yard and Lenny had so much room to run around. I also appreciated the photos she sent and updates!”
“I think my dog had a better weekend away than I did. Amy sent updates on how he was adapting and took such wonderful care of him. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Joseph and Tina welcomed Andy from our first conversation and every visit with them offers us peace of mind. They provide a beautiful, natural and enclosed space, plenty of love, excellent communication and are all around wonderful folks. Would highly recommend -”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“Very good Dog sitter Viktoriia and her Family took my dog in with no issues at all. Very good with my sweet girl and gave me updates the whole time! It was my first time using rover so I was a bit nervous but she made me feel so comfortable.”
About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.
“Susanna and Claude were such wonderful sitters to leave our dogs with for the weekend. We got constant updates and felt at ease having our dogs in their care. Everest and Bali had a great time in Kelowna. Drop off and pick up was super easy and accommodating also. I would contact them again if I am ever in the city in the future!”
“Carla was great with Loki & Luna. She kept us updated everyday with pictures. Pups had a great time. Would book her again! We were late for pick up due to three airplane flight delays and she was flexible/accommodating.”
“Cielo was a fabulous a sitter for our little guy. She kept us posted with pictures! She lives close to our place and it was nice to see he had another pal to chill with. Last minute accommodation was a delightful surprise. Thanks Cielo!”
“An amazing lady! Great with photos and videos of our boy. Played with him, got him walking the area and he adored her! We couldn’t have been more thrilled to meet Darcy and see her with Archie-bear!”
“Jutharet and her husband took our dog on very short notice as we had to make an emergency medical trip. They took excellent care of him, had lots of space for him to run around outside, and sent me updates along the way. Thanks SO much!!”

About: I’m an experienced and dedicated animal lover who has cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles.

“Georgia was very flexible and came a second time to my home on very short notice. She is great at giving medication, and I always feel safe knowing she’s taking care of my fur kids!”
“Trinity was wonderful to have looking after our cats! She made the effort for an initial visit to meet them which made us very comfortable. We received pictures of them out and about, which was so nice to see! She messaged with any questions and kept us up to date on their eating as they require a little more attention than most. Can’t wait to hire her again!”
“Bella was incredible with my cat. When I got back home after a 10 day trip my house was spotless and kitty was calm and happy. She was great at communicating throughout. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: As a social work student, I believe all behaviour is a form of communication, regardless of species. Especially with cats, body language and boundaries are critical. That’s why I’m your gal! I have an absolute, unconditional love for all animals, and have been a pet owner my entire life. I have a few years of formal experience, though have been providing house/pet sitting, playtime/walks (for cats, yes!), cleaning, and feeding/bathing help for my neighbors and friends for a combined total of 20 years. I am a diverse provider, in that I take care of all types of animals, with specialization in reactive/anxious animals! I have been told I have a patient, calming, reassuring, and playful energy, which can help both initial meetings and ongoing interactions. I have also had experience with other animals, such as dogs, rodents, birds, and more. If you have any questions regarding my services, availability, or my experience, shoot me a message any time, and I will respond as soon as possible! I treat my pets like family, and always try to snuggle, pet, and play with my animals as much as I can. I care for any animal as I would my own. Within your home, I am able to bathe, walk, train, play with, and accommodate any special requests or needs of your pet.
“We absolutely love and appreciate Elisabeth. She takes very well care for our two cats. She takes the stress out of leaving them knowing they are in the perfect hands. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!”
“Jocelynn was absolutely amazing with Fen. Fen can be sometimes skittish around new people, but she was able to connect with her quite easily. She was good with administering pills orally via mouth so if you have a senior animal like me with medical issues they will be in good hands. A++ and will definitely book her again.”
“I’ve had Yolanda do two drop-in visits in my home for my two pups (16 month old labradoodles) and she did a great job. She took them for a little stretch break and sent pics during the visit, etc. Both pups were calm when I got home and she had no problem with their little routine. Glad I called her and will have her back to hang out with my pups again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends since childhood. When I moved in with my spouse I became a proud mom for his dog Daisy that has since become my best friend and cuddle buddy. I would look after your dog the same way I would expect any sitter to take care of my own fur baby. With me you gain a reliable and responsible dog sitter that will love your dog as my own. I'm working on a cruise ship 6 months at a time but currently on vacation and therefore at home all day with lots of free time on my hands. I'm only stepping away from home occasionally for less than 2hours at a time for some appointments but otherwise I will be around your pet and provide all the attention it needs. We live in a house with fenced backyard with lots of space and your pet can freely roam around, play and sleep. When going outside they will be on a leash at any given time. I love going for walks so I can provide as many walks short or long as needed.
About: I always loved spending time with cats, have two of my own, one with anxiety issues and the other one just wants to cuddle. Have experienced cutting nails and bathing mine and friend’s cats. Understand a good clean litter box means a happy cat.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with two dogs, big and small, so I know just how important your furry friends are. Since I was 10 years old i’ve taken care of all types of dogs, and I am comfortable providing any type of care. I am a huge animal lover and have had much experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and even reptiles! I am currently in school studying a major in Biology and a minor in Zoology with hopes to spend much of my time around animals. As a dedicated student and lifelong animal enthusiast, I provide attentive, trustworthy care for your furry friends while you’re away. I am more than comfortable house/dog sitting over multiple nights and would love to have a companion in the house! Before caring for your pet, I will hope to be made aware of any special care necessary so I can be prepared and care for your pet in the best way possible. I am currently a student athlete on the women’s volleyball team, studying at UBC Okanagan. This means that most of my time is spent at the school in class, or in the gym. That being said, I do need your pet to be able to be left for longer hours throughout the day and possibly alright late in to the evening. I would plan to discuss my schedule with you in detail so that there is full understanding on when I will be around for overnight care etc. I am always open to discuss the best times needed for a walk around the block with your furry friend. With that in mind, the amount of time your pet is able to stay alone will be the most important question before I am able to provide my care. I have a fenced yard and a lovely german shepherd to keep your fur baby company. There is no crate, but am able to bring one into my home so your dog can sleep peacefully.
About: I have had cats my entire life, and been trusted to care for friends and families precious (or not so precious!) cats. I have delt with sick felines, aggressive felines, etc, and am willing to take on whatever challenges are required!
About: I have had cats my entire life, at one point, I had three of my own! I am well experienced and confident in all things cats - feeding them, playing, teaching them tricks (I had a cat who played fetch), cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, giving snuggles (on their terms of course), having conversations, providing nail trims... I'm a bit of a crazy cat lady, I must admit. Your kitty will be safe with me.
“Toni was great for x2 daily weekend drop/ins for my 2 cats. My shy 9month old kitten warmed up to her by the second visit. Easy to communicate with and took care of both cats feeding, playtime and litter box cleaning. Would recommend and hire again. Thanks Toni!”
About: I’ve always had a love for cats since a very young age ☺️ Growing up alongside my childhood cat Lilly, it taught me the basics like deep cleaning her litter box and grooming her frequently. From then on I would begin cat sitting for my family members and friends!
About: I have grown up my whole life with animals. I currently have four dogs and four cats at home. I truly believe pets add so much love to the household. my hours are very flexible and change everyday. I work shifts at a local restaurant in oyama and also at mission hill winery. I’m usually free in the mornings and afternoons/nights vary. I cannot bring pets into my apartment, but will do whatever is needed at a clients home:) obviously each home is different and i will cater to needs, for example taking the dogs for a walk if there is no yard or constantly keeping an eye on the pet if they like to get into things.

“Suzanne was wonderful - very kind, professional, and clearly a true dog person. She took the time to meet my dog beforehand and made sure it would be the right fit and that he would get along well with her dogs. I really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was throughout the process. Highly recommend Suzanne!”
“Tessa looked after Wes for a few days while I was in town working and Wes just loved his time with her! She's an awesome person and I would highly recommend her! Will definitely reach out next time im in town! Thanks Tessa!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the dog sitting service! They took exceptional care of my furry friend while I was away. They provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. My dog returned home happy and well-exercised, and it was clear they received plenty of love and attention. Highly recommend Anothai for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 5 stars!”
“It’s clear that Erica and David truly love dogs! Winston had a wonderful time with them and enjoyed going to the dog park and spending time with their two dogs. He had great company and was clearly well cared for. We’re so happy with the experience and will definitely book with them again. Thank you both for taking such great care of Winston!”
“Westerly spent a few days with Tania & her hubby and he loved it! They are great people with a lovely home and I could relax knowing Wes was looked after during the days while I was at work. He was always happy to go back when I dropped him off the next day. Will definitely be booking in future when I'm back in town for work!”
“Emma and her partner took real good care of Allie! Allie had a great time playing with Tilley. Their place is also very tidy and clean. I appreciate Emma being able to accommodate me last minute as I needed to go for a medical appointment and my original sitter fell through. Thanks Emma! Would love to book with you again!”
“Emilie was amazing. I required a safe, cool place to leave Ranger for an hour everyday for the week, and Emilie's condo was absolutely perfect for that! The fact that she worked from home and was able to be flexible with pickup and drop-off times was amazing and even allowed me to get a few dog free longer bike rides in while I was visiting Kelowna. Ranger seemed completely comfortable with both Emilie and her pup Jacki, though I'm sure her Jacki was unimpressed with my tired dog that just wanted to sleep in the A/C for a few hours! Everything went perfectly smooth and I would definitely use Emilie again!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.
“Jeanine is lovely and so compassionate towards the dogs in her care. She allowed my dog to explore and get himself situated and warm up to her and the environment at his pace. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Thank you so much to Yutharat! She take care really well of my boy for the day! I will definitely recommend her and I will be happy to leave him again with her :)”

About: I've had experience caring for many pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I've also cared for several pets of my own, so I'm used to feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, and giving lots of love! I can adapt to each animals personality and requirements.

I stick to each pets usual routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow all care instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, and any other specific needs depending on the pet. My biggest priority is that your pets are happy and cared for in their own environment while also being respectful and mindful of your home and belongings. I'm always happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured that your pets are doing well!
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and have owned Dobermans since 2006, raising all three of mine from eight-week-old puppies. My current girl, Poppy, is almost six and is my absolute world! Over the years, I’ve experienced just about every stage of dog ownership, from the endless energy and mischief of puppyhood to the slower pace and changing needs of senior dogs. I’ve also cared for my dogs through serious illnesses, surgeries, and lengthy recoveries. Those experiences have taught me a lot about patience, compassion, and recognizing when a dog needs a little extra care. I’ve also spent plenty of time walking and looking after friends’ and neighbours’ dogs, including Labs, Golden Retrievers, Doodles, Corgis, Shibas, Shih Tzus, and more. I’m comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes, including large, energetic breeds. One thing I know from Poppy is that going for a walk is often the highlight of a dog’s day! Whether it’s a brisk walk to burn off some energy or a leisurely adventure with plenty of sniff stops, I want every dog I walk to feel like they’ve had the best day ever. I know how particular I am about who I trust with Poppy, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so fitting a few extra walks into my day is something I genuinely look forward to! I’m happy to accommodate regular weekly walks or occasional visits when life gets busy, your workday runs long, or your dog could simply use a little extra attention. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your dog, especially when you’re not home. I feel exactly the same way about Poppy! For walks, I’ll come to your home, follow your dog’s usual routine, and take them on a safe, on-leash walk around their own neighbourhood. I don’t transport dogs or take them to off-leash parks. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection, depending on what your dog needs. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your dog is comfortable and safely settled before I leave. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. I prefer to meet new dogs and their owners beforehand so everyone feels comfortable and we can go over any routines, quirks, or special needs.
“This was our first time using Rover and working with Jessie! All went very well, Bodhi was well taken care of, Jessie was on time and easy to communicate with while we were out of town. We’d be happy to have her walk Bodhi again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown up around them. I’m very close with my family dog, Kaia, a 14 year old bichon Shih Tzu. I have many years of hands on experience caring for her, including attending puppy training classes together, she has taught me patience, kindness, and how important it is to make a dog feel loved safe and comfortable. I’m caring, and responsible and genuinely enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I hope to have a dog of my own one day so caring for other people’s pets is something I truly enjoy and take great pride in. Very available weekends, afternoons, and evenings. Available some days during the week depending on my work schedule. Happy to take your pet for long or short walks or even overnight. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routines, including walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, my goal is for them to feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Natalie has been wonderful! She is so great with our sheltie, Atlas, and he is very excited to see her each week. Natalie always shows up on time and communicates so well and is such a big help to our family.”

About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.
About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.
About: I have owned at least one dog for 20 years and have fostered dogs for the last 15 years. We excel at chilling and enjoying the outdoors (walking/hiking). I am open to pup sitting 7 days a week, at your house or mine. I will take great care of your pet like it is my own! As a recent retiree, I have flexible time to take care of your pup(s). I am available 7 days a week and will care for your dog like it is my own...and mine are pretty spoiled. Although I do not have a yard, I enjoy walking my dogs and playing with them inside and out. My 2 dogs are easy going and will keep your pup company. My house is really a big dog house. They are allowed to snuggle on a dog bed or on the couch.
About: Sweet and personable which each dog.I have experience taking care of dogs since a young age and have plenty of time to give your best friend the most attention possible! Right now i’m fully free and open to have your pet be my #1 priority as long as I have enough of a heads up notice! I am always very close and personable with each animal I come across, I love building bonds with plenty of different animals and will care for your pet like they’re one of my own.
About: I grew up with 8 German Shepherds, 3 cats, and 1 Poodle! I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’m calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious dogs. I’m able to read dog body language and respect their boundaries. I believe in safety first mindset on walks and in the home, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, not just watching them. I’m currently working part-time and my job is close to home, so I can walk over during my breaks for check-ins. I attend school full time, with half of my classes online, which means I’m home for majority of the day and able to give pets regular attention and care! I follow a clear schedule for walks, meals, and play-time. On-time care everyday. I care for pets by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a clients home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get regular walks, and have plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always respect house rules and special instructions. I also provide regular updates with photos so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away.

“We feel very fortunate we found Anothai and Mersad for our dog Rex!! He is never stressed when he comes home. They take amazing care of him and give him tons of love. The pictures and videos we get daily are also very appreciated! We would 100% recommend them”
“I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about Tessa! 🥹💕 She was absolutely amazing with my dogs and treated them with so much love and care. She took them for walks, gave them so much attention, and sent me the cutest photos and updates every single day. It made me feel so comfortable and happy knowing they were safe, loved, and having the best time while I was away. She truly went above and beyond. It was also my birthday while she was watching them, and she even surprised me with a birthday gift when I picked them up, which was honestly the sweetest and most thoughtful thing ever. 🥹💗 When I picked my dogs up, they were so happy and clearly had been so well taken care of. It’s such a good feeling finding someone you completely trust with your babies, and I’m so grateful I found Tessa. She will forever be my dog sitter now! I couldn’t recommend her enough — she’s caring, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely such a sweet person. We absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”
“Gail had our boy for 6 days and he was VERY well taken care of! We can tell he had a blast with her and her family, and we will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future!!!”
“Another great experience booking with Chalan and Joel. I always feel comfortable leaving Bentley with them, enjoy our catchups on drop off and pick up, and really appreciate how much love he receives from everyone there. Thank you.”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing with Mellow! From the moment we met, it was clear how loving and attentive she is. She treated Mellow like her own, made sure she was comfortable and happy, and even helped administer her eye drops medication. Morgan was also incredibly flexible and kind about pickup time, which made everything stress-free. I felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was in such good hands. I would 1000% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Morgan!”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“Very good Dog sitter Viktoriia and her Family took my dog in with no issues at all. Very good with my sweet girl and gave me updates the whole time! It was my first time using rover so I was a bit nervous but she made me feel so comfortable.”
About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.
“Susanna and Claude were such wonderful sitters to leave our dogs with for the weekend. We got constant updates and felt at ease having our dogs in their care. Everest and Bali had a great time in Kelowna. Drop off and pick up was super easy and accommodating also. I would contact them again if I am ever in the city in the future!”
“Carla was great with Loki & Luna. She kept us updated everyday with pictures. Pups had a great time. Would book her again! We were late for pick up due to three airplane flight delays and she was flexible/accommodating.”
“Cielo was a fabulous a sitter for our little guy. She kept us posted with pictures! She lives close to our place and it was nice to see he had another pal to chill with. Last minute accommodation was a delightful surprise. Thanks Cielo!”
“Jutharet and her husband took our dog on very short notice as we had to make an emergency medical trip. They took excellent care of him, had lots of space for him to run around outside, and sent me updates along the way. Thanks SO much!!”
“Facundo was absolutely amazing, very responsive and kind. My dog was happy and tired after his week with him. The regular updates and pictures were very much appreciated too. I would highly recommend Facundo and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with the Jeremy! He did a great job giving our dog enough exercise to keep him happy. We also appreciated how well they managed his medications, making sure everything was given on time and correctly. Throughout our time away, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which really put us at ease. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
