Personalized care for your dog or cat - Fernie

“This was Georgia’s first time going to stay with Sue let alone anyone other than family. Sue sent us photos of Georgia and I can say, Georgia throughly loved being with Sue and at her home. Georgia made herself right at home and was on her couch and using her pups toys even though she had her own. I highly recommend Sue and look forward to our next visit for Georgia. An amazing woman with so much love to spread to around. Thank you Sue!!”

About: My dog/cat are my best friends so I know just how important it is to make sure they get the best care while you’re not around. I don’t have a routine job. I work out of town so when I’m home, I’m home. I take my dog for multiple walks a day, and we would love to have your dog join us I have a fenced in back yard, and my dog is very friendly. You’re dogs safety and comfort is a priority. I allow dogs on my furniture/bed.

About: Couple of gals that love hiking and biking especially with pooches. Our dog has just recently gone to stay with her dog Dad for the winter and we are happy to open our home for dog snuggles as we are missing our four legged friend. Lots of experience as we both had rescues in the past that came with their quirks and spent a lot of time dog training. Love to be outside or even lazy days on the couch if that’s what your pooch prefers. Happy to accommodate for all shapes and sizes and energy levels. Even happy with the quirky ones. We would be caring for you dog/cat as a team, our schedules are varied between day and evening shifts so between the two of us they would get a lot of care and attention. We have a big fenced yard. Available space if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate. Three people in the house so usually someone around to keep them company, dog would be unattended for maximum 4 hours. We love to hike, run, bike and cross country ski so plenty of opportunity for adventure.

About: I’ve always had a knack with animals! From horses to bearded dragons, I am your girl when your loved one needs a walk, cuddle, bath. Anything :) My hours are very flexible right now! Between finishing my seasonal job and coming to the end of my first school year, Im open! :) I always provide a secure and safe environment to all animals, I have 2 dogs of my own and know how to handle, train, be patient and loving :)

“Helen was an incredibly communicative, accommodating, and kind sitter for our cat Simon. I felt very reassured leaving Simon in her care, and would certainly do so again!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love and understand cats. I’m a cat owner myself, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable, gentle, and attentive checking in on your pets while you’re away. I offer cat-focused drop-in visits where I can feed them, refresh their water, clean/scoop litter, give them playtime, cuddles if they want them, and send photo updates so you know they’re safe and comfortable. I’m especially good with cats who are shy, cautious, or need someone patient who won’t overwhelm them. I understand that every cat has their own personality, so I let them warm up at their own pace while still making sure they’re cared for properly. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding routines, litter care, house rules, and any little habits that make your cat feel secure. My goal is to make your cat feel calm, cared for, and loved while giving you peace of mind that everything at home is being looked after. My main experience and comfort is with cats, but I’m also happy to help with calm, friendly dogs for drop-in visits, feeding, water refreshes, potty breaks, and short leash walks. Because I’m still building my dog-care experience, I only accept dogs who are gentle, leash-trained, and non-reactive. I always do a meet-and-greet first so I can make sure it’s the right fit for both me and your pet. I work full-time, but I’m available for drop visits before 8:30AM & between 12 and 1 PM & after 4:30 PM during the week and available most weekends and stats. I offer drop in visits at your home. This way, your pet does not need to feel the stress of being in a new environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of my neighbours, family and friends cats for years and am experienced with elderly cats and giving meds (oral). Available to take care and a calming presence to your cat in the Fernie area

“Amber had great communication and sent lots of great pics😊”

“Sue looked after our pup Odin during the day for three days when we were camping in Fernie and mountain biking with friends. Sue took fantastic care of Odin when we were out and took him on all sorts of fun walks and hikes and sent us some absolutely beautiful photos of our pup. It was so nice to be able to be out having fun ourselves and knowing that Odin was in great hands. Thank you so much Sue!!”

About: Helping your pets living their best life! I’m experienced with big size dogs, elder animals, giving medication if needed. I have my pet first aid course. But most of all, I’m a pet sitter that cares a lot about your pet’s well being and will adapt to all level of energy! I work evening shifts at Island Lake Lodge so my calendar is very flexible for walking your dog at mid day during the work days. For pet sitting, this season I’ll be working 8h/day except Wednesdays & Thursdays so I won’t be able to be full time with your pet at home. I walk dogs & do pet sitting within Fernie only. Always one dog at a time (or multiple dogs if they are from the same household). I also take care of cats & other pets and will give them all the love they deserve!

“Haylee was fantastic! Great and easy communication and I came home to a super happy and tired pup. Would absolutely recommend Haylee and hope to have her take Una out again!”

About: I am a 25 year old ECE that lives in Fernie and I have a huge love for dogs, I unfortunately am unable to get a pet due to my house not being pet friendly, therefore I would like to walk dogs and dog sit so that I can have more time around dogs, growing up I had a boxer and a doodle so I have had big dogs my whole life and have lots of experience with them I am currently working full time so I am available nights weekends and wednesdays for dog walking and all week for pet sitting. I am pretty open I do not offer my home to pet due to the fact that the place I am renting isn’t pet friendly. I will only be able to pet/house sit and dog walk

“Helen was wonderful was with my pup and he came back super happy and tired. She provided the cutest pictures and information about the walk once returned. I’d definitely recommend!”
