“I’m extremely impressed with the love & caring attitude which was shown towards our little dog and would certainly recommend this excellent service that was provided for our dog during his stay with this family.”
“Morgan took great care of Bear while we were out of town. Provided us with updates and photos, and was accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time. Thanks!”
“Jeannie was absolutely perfect for what we needed. She took such good care of Molly and was so flexible and accommodating. She is such a wonderful person and LOVES dogs. I recommend her 100 percent.”
“Anothai was amazing withy Odie. Sending pictures and video throughout the day for his whole stay, which was 5 days. I honestly think if Odie could talk, he’d say he’ll stay with Anothai and that I can come visit. Anothai was good with his medication and meals so that was a lot of stress of my mind. I will always use Anothai when I’m in Kelowna - ALWAYS!”
“Susanna & Claude were amazing hosts. Brownie seemed super happy and relaxed. Communication and feedback was great and organizing drop-off and pickup was a breeze. Thanks for taking care of our furry family member over this period. You will definitely be our first port of call next time Brownie needs a temporary stay!”
“Chalan & Joel and their two lovely daughters took amazing care of our doggie Gem in their beautiful home. Gem has a hind leg injury requiring special care and she was given just that. They sent beautiful pictures of our happy pup throughout her visit and were always communicative with updates. We can’t recommend them enough! A lovely family that treats your dog as one of their own is all any pet owner can hope for and that is exactly what we got.”
“Darcy took wonderful care of Teddy. Teddy is a new rescue and Darcy was the perfect person to take care of him with her fostering experience. He quickly became comfortable with her and created a bond ☺️ Darcy also kept us regularly updated with pictures and videos. We’re so lucky to have found our go-to sitter on our first try with Rover!”
“We recently left our tri-pawed Frenchie Abigail, with Bryden and Colleen. They were very friendly and easy to coordinate with, including setting up a meet and greet with Abigail before the weekend stay. Communication with them was excellent throughout the stay with photos and updates. Abigail was happy and well cared for and was more than happy to stay instead of coming home with us, lol. We highly recommend Bryden and Colleen!”
“Honey had a blast at their house. Great yard, A/C and lots of space to chill. Really great communication and accommodating our late arrival. Can't wait to get back to Lake Country so Honey can have another vacay there.”
“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!”
“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.”
“She was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout Vito’s stay with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and he had such a great time playing with her sweet dog. He came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“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!!”
“Cielo was an amazing sitter for our dog, Emma! From the start, she treated Emma like her own — warm, loving, and attentive. While we were away, Cielo sent frequent updates, notes, and lots of photos, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease during our travels. It was clear Emma was happy, safe, and well cared for every day. Cielo went above and beyond to make sure Emma was comfortable and loved. We felt 100% confident leaving our pup in her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, caring sitter! 🐶❤️”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for many years. I raised my two beloved dogs, Polo, a miniature American Eskimo, and TaiTai, a Pomeranian, from the time they were puppies until they reached the wonderful ages of 17 and 16. They passed on within the last year, and I feel incredibly lucky to have shared so many years and stages of life with them. 🩷 Caring for them throughout their lives, and especially during their senior years, gave me a great deal of hands-on experience. I prepared all of their meals at home, managed their medication schedules and regular veterinary care, and supported them through mobility changes with physiotherapy, acupuncture and laser therapy. Even as they got older, I made sure they continued enjoying plenty of fresh air through walks, stroller outings and time outdoors. Over the years, I also became very tuned in to canine body language and the little signals dogs give us. I tend to notice when a dog is feeling nervous, uncomfortable, overstimulated, tired or simply needs a little more space and reassurance. Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care comes from paying attention and adjusting to what helps that particular dog feel safe and comfortable. 🐾😊 🩷 I only care for one small dog at a time, so your dog will be my one special guest and will receive my full attention, care and companionship throughout their stay. I welcome small adult dogs and gentle seniors of all breeds. I generally accept dogs up to approximately 20 pounds, although I may consider a slightly larger dog depending on their temperament and needs. For safety, I do not accept puppies under 10 months old.🩷 I work from home and am home most of the time, so caring for a dog fits very naturally into my daily routine. I only board one dog at a time and currently have no pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention and all the care, companionship and affection I have to give during their stay. 😊 Their day can include regular bathroom breaks, walks, sniffing time outdoors, playtime, quiet time beside me while I work, and plenty of rest. Some dogs enjoy longer walks and exploring, while others, especially seniors, are happier with shorter outings and a slower pace. I am happy to adjust the amount of activity based on your dog’s age, energy level, mobility and normal routine.🐾 Your dog will have the run of the home and can follow me around, relax nearby while I work, play with their favourite toys or curl up wherever they feel most comfortable. I will also keep their meals, walks, bathroom breaks and bedtime routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home 🩷 Your dog will have the run of my home and will be treated like a little member of the household 🩷 Because I only board one dog at a time, my home stays quiet and peaceful, and I am able to give close attention to their comfort, eating, drinking, bathroom habits and behaviour throughout their stay. Whenever possible, I prefer to arrange a meet & greet before the first booking. This gives your dog a chance to meet me and explore the environment while you are still there. Dogs do not always understand why their person is leaving them somewhere new so I feel that a little familiarity beforehand can make the handoff less confusing and help them settle more comfortably. 😊🩷 It also gives us time to talk about your dog’s personality, routine, fears, habits, food needs and any special instructions. I will follow your care instructions closely and provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you are away. 🩷
“Great experience! Kelene was very nice and friendly with the dogs. She provided updates and even sent photos while they were with her. Would book again when needed!”
“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.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Julia gave our dog while we were away! Leaving our pup at her house was so easy because she kept us updated the whole time with plenty of notes and photos. Our dog has medications that need to be given regularly, and Julia took care of it with zero issues. Our small dog also got along great with her big dog Blu, which was awesome to see. Julia genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease and will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we travel. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

“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!”
“Kailey is fantastic! Great communication and takes great care of your pet. Her love for animals really comes through. My cat was clearly well loved and cared for when I came back. Will definitely book her again!”
“Gail was amazing, kind and very communicative. She was great with our kitty, sent lots of pictures and took care of the house with care. Would recommend here any day! Thanks Gail!”
“Angela was so professional and supportive while assisting me with delivering my cat her meds. I am a long time cat owner, but the new to me cat is the first I have had who absolutely needs to be put in a "purrito" or she will run away and hide and spit up all of the medicine. Angela was so gentle with our cat and her kind approach helped us learn strategies to give kitty medications in the future. Sometimes you just need a professional. We appreciated Angela's help so incredibly much.”
About: I appreciate how intelligent cats are and how they have a mind of their own and follow their own rules. I have experience taking cats on walks around vehicles on leash. I have worked with cats behaviours (ignoring undesired behaviours and helping reward positive ones etc) to gradually help them learn to sit, go on walks, scratch posts etc.
“Kate was absolutely amazing, she sent us multiple pictures each day with a nice write up. My cat is a messy eater and she went of her way to clean up all the cat food that was split. I felt very confident that my cat was in good hands. I will be booking with Kate again when we go away.”
“Hope took great care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and tends to hide, and Hope was thoughtful about feeding them separately to make sure both cats were eating properly. She sent us photos and updates of the cats, which we really appreciated, and went above and beyond with a few additional things we had asked. We would happily book Hope again. Thank you, Hope!”
“We have had Paige check up on our cat a couple of times now and she is always great! Lots of updates, and we can tell our kitty has been well looked after when we get home!”
“Viktoriia is an awesome dog walker. She responds quickly to our requests. She is friendly, committed, timely and most importantly our dog really looks forward to her arrival and walks. Thanks Viktoriia.”
“Felt very comfortable having Michaela come in and visit with our lovely old cat. She was very responsible, giving Chloe her medicine twice a day as required and always took the time to give her lots of attention. Thanks again Michaela!”
“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!”
“I can't say enough about the GREAT care Anna gave my cat!!! she was given so much love and attention i thought she must have rubbed herself in Catnip! LOL she was healthy but not so happy to be home with this old lady (me). she was with a younger women that gave her all the playtime she needed. she's very understanding and kind., i HIGHLY recommend Anna!! i wish i could share all the pictures she took on the "daily" which also made me a little jealous. LOL THANK YOU ANNA!!”
About: I share my life with a sweet, high-energy Border Collie/German Shepherd/Husky mix, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and attentive care. Having spent most of my life around both dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. As an active person, I’m well-suited for high-energy play, long walks, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I aim to return every dog happy, fulfilled, and well-exercised. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcement, and I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your routine, and attentive to your pet’s individual needs. I work a part time job at an e-bike rental shop downtown Kelowna, outside of work I am happy to take care of your pets, and I usually work a maximum of 6 hours. Rest assured that your pups will receive the attention and care they deserve. I am attention detailed at following your specific guidelines in entering and leaving your home. I am happy to do everything from caring for your pet as well as cleaning if you wish. We can talk about cleaning in person.
“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 am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.

“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!”
“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!”
“Suzanne takes excellent care of Murphy! It’s evident she’s kind, patient and amazing with dogs. Murphy gets very excited when I drop her off in the morning before work. I know she’s in excellent hands with Suzanne.”
“Nash had a great time playing at Darcy’s and is exhausted now ha ha. He always gets excited when we drive up to her place. She takes good care of Nash. Thank you Darcy!!”
“Jutharat looked after Pippin for a day. He had the best time ever. He played with other puppies and was well taken care off, so much so he didn’t want to come home. 🥹 We enjoyed the wonderful photos throughout the day, it was much appreciated.”
“Thanks, Bryden and Colleen, for taking such good care of Poppy today. She had a great time and came home a happy girl. We will definitely be returning. So happy that we found you!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. I've always been a huge dog lover, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. I have an amazing backyard for them to play as well as near by parks to take them on walks.
“We were visiting from out of town and wanted to enjoy a dinner out. I felt very comfortable with Marylin and her communication. Stanley gets anxious without us but everything worked out since Marylin also has a doxie! I would recommend Marylin if you need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”
“Brandyn and his girlfriend Suki looked after my dog when I was passing through Kelowna for a medical appointment. It was 38° and I could never have left him in the car even in a parkade. It was such a relief knowing he was in airconditioning! He seemed quite relaxed with them which was surprising since he is an anxious dog, so clearly they have great dog vibes. I would feel very comfortable leaving Juno with them again another time.”
“Aiden and Amy were amazing. They took such good care of my dog and were great at staying in communication so I knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend them to take care of your pet.”
“Chester seems to have had a great day with Nancy. He came home tired and happy and we were able to enjoy a day of wine tasting and not worry about him. Nancy was awesome to work with - I would highly recommend.”
“Katie took great care of our high energy 1.5 year old rescue! She provided regular updates with photos and videos, and is super flexible with our busy schedule. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi my name is Tami Lynn. I'm currently available for dog walking, drop ins & house sitting in your home. I can board in my home as long as your pooch gets along with other dogs.

I promise to keep them safe & to adore them, give them all the attention they need while away from you.☺️🐾
About: I have always grown up with dogs around- big and small. I now have my own puppy who loves to play and meet other dogs. Open to walking/looking after your dog separately or having them tag along on our adventures to get extra exercise. I currently have a position part time as a nurse. This gives me plenty of days off to schedule dog-sitting, hikes, etc. I’ve managed repeating weekly walks, overnight stays, and one-off adventures so reach out if you have any questions! I am responsible, clean, and caring. If staying in your home, I would follow care instructions and leave the place clean for when you return. Growing up with dogs I know how to keep them safe and controlled, while still letting them play and explore.

“Nicole was great with our dog Nova who is shy and reserved with strangers. Her calm demeanor and slow approach got Nova following her within a few minutes of meeting. Nicole sent us pictures throughout the sitting so we could see how she was doing. Would highly recommend having your doggo stay with Nicole!”
“Michelle took such good care of our baby girl! Penelope warmed up to her right away and Michelle sent me lots of photos throughout the day which made it easier to leave her. I will be using Michelle again!!”

About: I am a calm and quiet person, and I believe pets appreciate me because I understand the importance of giving them the time and space they need to adjust when I am in their space while their family is away. Growing up, I loved helping my family take care of their dogs. I have helped groom, train, feed, and walk their dogs. But I have always had a soft spot for cats and so the first pet of my own is a dog-like cat. I've pet-sat for my friends while they went on longer trips. I have taken care of small to medium sized dogs. I've also worked at a cat cafe, caring for as many as 20 cats at one time. Some of my responsibilities included cleaning, feeding, playing, and observing the cats to ensure they were living their best lives at the cafe before finding their forever homes. My pet is a 2 year old large breed cat whom I adore. He understands basic commands like sit, up, lay down, jump, give paw, spin, roll over, kiss, hug etc. Let me know what your pet's usual routine looks like and what you're looking for and we can go from there! For house sitting: Standard overnight sitting includes 1-2 daily check-ins and staying overnight. Custom schedules or higher-needs care can be accommodated at an adjusted rate. Safety and comfort are my top priority, and that starts with understanding your pet’s unique personality. If you have any notes or a care guide on their routine, please share them with me. I have a particular cat myself, so I’m very experienced with 'fussy' pets. I know that following their exact preferences isn't just about comfort—it’s about making sure they feel secure while you're away.
“Anna walked our two dogs while we were away for 10 days and she was really great. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away missing them. They loved their walks with her. Would highly recommend!”
“Jenna was amazing! Great communication and the photos she took were better than any I’ve taken. She left a report card for Millie which is the absolute cutest! She managed to take Millie farther than I can in half an hour, so I know Millie got good exercise in while I was away!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for around ten years, and before that I had, and continue to, frequently house and dog sit! I am currently a student at UBCO and I am able to be quite flexible in my schedule in order to provide the care and services you may need! I can easily take care of animals with higher needs, and have experience with very high energy and moderately reactive animals! I try to be as accommodating as possible!
“Paige has been great with Dave! He is always pooped at the end of his walks and she send great updates through photos. Paige has been really flexible with scheduling and reliable, which has been great! Could recommend more.”
“Laura is professional and reliable. She’s very great with my 6 month old puppy and is a great communicator. I hesitate writing a great review as I don’t want everyone scooping her up from me 😅”
About: I have always had a cat in my life and I have also volunteered over 200 hours caring for cats at the SPCA. I experienced a wide variety of cats, including many shy and anxious ones. While I have the most experience with cats, I would love to take your well-behaved dog for a walk or run. I am currently a student taking online courses, so I have complete flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I plan my schoolwork around visits so I can meet your pet’s needs and stay consistent with their routine. I’m a calm and patient person, and I always let your cat or dog approach me on their own terms. I never force interaction—I give them the space they need to feel safe and comfortable around me.
About: I've had animals of my own my whole life and taken care of other's pets for 30+ years. I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite and they only sleep with me if they're allowed 😉. I'm just as happy cuddling with a cat though! I work from home, so I can provide around the clock care for your fur babies! I work from home and have lots of freedom and time to walk and care for your pets. I enjoy being active with the animals, also cuddling up and relaxing. I will provide care for your pets in your home exactly as you see fit. I follow directions well, am adaptable, and just want you and your animals to feel safe and cared for. I'm clean, conscientious and understand the trust and respect needed to have others in your personal space, and I honor that.

“Patricia and her daughter Alice are very lovely and so sweet. Hearts of gold and really love animals. They really consider any rules you tell them and understand! I appreciated the photo updates after check in as well :)”
“I’m so glad we found a reliable and experienced dog walker for our Labrador. Our chocolate lab is a big boy full of energy, anxious and can be reactive to other dogs. Michaela is like a dog whisperer and Osito connected with her right away.”
“Kayla is such an excellent dog walker. She was punctual, very friendly with my dog and was very eager to work on training practices with my dog during her walk with him. I received photo updates throughout the walk as well!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have 20 years of dog ownership, 8 years with cats, and experience caring for a horse. Professionally, I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 2 years and as a dog groomer for 1 year, plus 3 years running my own dog-sitting side hustle. I’m confident with dogs of all breeds and personalities and genuinely love what I do. I’m currently building my portfolio as a Newly licensed Residential Property Manager. I make my own schedule and I either work from home or easily on the go, so I figured why not do a bit more of what I really love the most. I currently offer in-home check ins, sitting and walking. As an experienced Pet-Sitter, and a professional property manager, I have a unique understanding of trust and care when it comes to your home and your pet!
“Lori is fantastic with dogs. She establishes firm but loving contact which is exactly what is required. As a result, our boy is ecstatic to see her and behaves beautifully when with her. She is also an excellent communicator, professional and personable. Very happy to have found Lori and to have her looking after our boy.”
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life. I've owned many pets ranging guinea pigs, and bunnies to cats and a dog. I have had 6+ years of experience training my Labrador retriever, we have completed training courses as well as a 4 month long agility program. I have also gotten to care for many different cats, and their unique personalities. I am currently self employed, mostly working remotely with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your critters! I am available most weekdays & weekends starting around 11am. I carefully follow provided instructions to show my best care to each of my furry clients. I treat them as though they are my very own and am careful to always keep animals collared/harnessed and leashed (when applicable). My furry clients' safety is my first priority at all times. I will be sure to keep pets safe and secure, securing any enclosures and locking up the home upon my departure. Additionally, I maintain notes/records of client care/interactions and am happy to offer updates on a schedule that works for the family of the pet I am caring for.
About: My experience with pets is life long! I grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals, worked on a horse farm and dog sat all throughout my teen years. I work in downtown Kelowna full time but my hours vary week by week. But I always have time for a nice long walk with your dog during the day! I do not offer pet care in my own home as I don't have the right outdoor space for it. I take great care to ensure your dog is safe, secure and happy during all walks and drop in visits. I also take great care when house sitting, making sure to leave it in even better condition than when I arrived.

“I’m extremely impressed with the love & caring attitude which was shown towards our little dog and would certainly recommend this excellent service that was provided for our dog during his stay with this family.”
“Morgan took great care of Bear while we were out of town. Provided us with updates and photos, and was accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time. Thanks!”
“Anothai was amazing withy Odie. Sending pictures and video throughout the day for his whole stay, which was 5 days. I honestly think if Odie could talk, he’d say he’ll stay with Anothai and that I can come visit. Anothai was good with his medication and meals so that was a lot of stress of my mind. I will always use Anothai when I’m in Kelowna - ALWAYS!”
“Susanna & Claude were amazing hosts. Brownie seemed super happy and relaxed. Communication and feedback was great and organizing drop-off and pickup was a breeze. Thanks for taking care of our furry family member over this period. You will definitely be our first port of call next time Brownie needs a temporary stay!”
“Chalan & Joel and their two lovely daughters took amazing care of our doggie Gem in their beautiful home. Gem has a hind leg injury requiring special care and she was given just that. They sent beautiful pictures of our happy pup throughout her visit and were always communicative with updates. We can’t recommend them enough! A lovely family that treats your dog as one of their own is all any pet owner can hope for and that is exactly what we got.”
“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!!”
“Cielo was an amazing sitter for our dog, Emma! From the start, she treated Emma like her own — warm, loving, and attentive. While we were away, Cielo sent frequent updates, notes, and lots of photos, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease during our travels. It was clear Emma was happy, safe, and well cared for every day. Cielo went above and beyond to make sure Emma was comfortable and loved. We felt 100% confident leaving our pup in her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, caring sitter! 🐶❤️”

They took her on amazing walks , swimming in the lake and so many fun adventures! Sylvie gave multiple updates and pictures daily ! And she was truly a joy to leave our dog with. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so so much sylvie for giving Annie the BEST time ever !”
“Ashley took great care of our dogs while we were gone, and they loved their time at her house and with her dog as well. She was prompt with communication in booking and provided multiple video and photo updates while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again with her😊”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications when needed, and keeping them on their normal routines. As a registered nurse, I’m responsible, attentive to detail, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and recognizing when a pet’s behaviour or needs may change. I’m also a pet owner myself and know that every animal deserves individualized care, plenty of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and regular photo updates. I work 3-4 days per week as a registered nurse and am looking into fitting pet care into my schedule. I am available Thursdays, most Fridays, and weekends. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and carefully follow any special instructions or medication schedules. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Katrina was wonderful with my dog Rusty. She took him for walks and provided regular updates and photos of how he was doing. I will seek out Katrina’s services again to watch my big dog.”
