Personalized care for your dog or cat - Salmo

“I felt completely at ease leaving our new pups with Jessica. They got loads of care & attention and walks. It was our new puppy’s first weekend away and I was so glad for him to have such a positive experience. I’m sure he will be looking forward to going back!”

“Mia was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our little Pomeranian and treated him like one of her own. She kept us updated every day with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup had a great time in her yard, made friends with her cat, and quickly felt comfortable in her home. Mia even went the extra mile by preparing yams to accommodate his diet, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet.”

“Natalie took such great care of our pups. We had to extend our stay last minute and she was able to make to accommodate. She took care of our pups like they were her own and I could tell the pups loved being there! I highly recommend her!”

“Erika was quick to respond and helped take care of our dog last minute. She sent updates and photos, and took great care of her! Will definitely rebook if we are in the area in the future.”

“Leigh-Ann took such good care of our fur baby while we were gone for 3 weeks over the holidays. Christmas dinner, presents and lots of TLC. Our dog had had knee surgery a few months before and I was so worried about leaving him with someone new. Leigh Ann took wonderful care of him and even took him to his Pysio appointments! She updated us and sent photos and videos regularly so we knew he was having fun with Leigh Ann and her fur baby Freha. Highly recommend Leigh-Ann!”

“Quinn was a great dogsitter. She communicated easily and often and assured me, especially in the first day or two, that my dog was doing great. I would not hesitate to hire Quinn again to take care of my dog.”

“Roberta took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a long family vacation. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares. We had peace of mind knowing that our dog would be part of her family while we were away. We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away and could tell he had enjoyed his time with Roberta and her dog. We are so grateful and will 100% reach out to Roberta next time we need a sitter. She is a lovely person who clearly cares deeply about the people and animals she interacts with. Thank you!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with golden retrievers, and I’ve been dog-sitting in Nelson for over two years. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and easygoing couch companions, and I enjoy adapting to whatever pace your pup prefers. I love taking dogs out on Nelson’s beautiful trails for fresh air and adventure. Whether your dog wants to sniff every tree or prefers a more relaxed stroll, I’m all about making their time with me tail-waggingly fun! With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of routines, visits, and energy levels. I’m all about making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away—because every pup deserves to have a good time, even if their human is off doing human things. I am currently working a casual schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks! I am available for pet sitting during the week or weekend! I have my own suite that has access to a grassy area out front. I am a few minutes walk to the graveyard trails. Dogs that stay with me will be taken on morning walk, mid afternoon walk and a longer nature walk in the early evenings!

“Kesi took wonderful care of our puppy when other care fell through last minute. I appreciated her checking in, asking questions where appropriate, and sending photo updates. Felt Tilly was safe and well cared for”

“Thank you Ivy for taking care of Milo. It was great to get the update and the pictures. Thanks for traveling to my acreage!”

About: Important thing about looking after cats is to let them dictate what they’re comfortable with. Some cats want love and some cats want space.

“Jessica is wonderful. She connected right away with Charm and kept her close by and involved with her all day. Charm loves going out and being with her person for all activities. Jessica was her person for the day and Charm was super happy when we picked her up at the end of the day so I know she had lots of fun eith Jessica and was comfortable. Thankyou Jessica for making Charm a part of your family for the day and giving her so much love!”

About: I've cared for my family's 2 sheepadoodles for 8 years, and consistently watch a cute little chihuahua who loves to play frisbee. I don't have experience in dogs with special needs, but I do have a highly flexible schedule for people that need pet care. I work for myself at home, and can work from anywhere if need be. I love going for walks, and am happy to take your pet out any time of the day. I work completely from home and for myself, so I have no schedule constraints and am available most of the time. I am about as flexible as it gets! I don't have a fenced yard, so pets in my home go for a couple walks. If you have a fenced yard, I throw balls and frisbees till your pet can't go anymore!

“Jared took great care of Ola for a couple days of day-care over the weekend! She got lots of exercise, enough to turn our big high-energy dog into a sleepy baby all evening, and we got sent lots of pictures of her having a great day. She is often anxious about being left behind anywhere, but on the 2nd morning she was obviously comfortable staying with Jared, she happily ran right inside when we dropped her off!”

About: My goal for your dog while they are staying is for her to feel safe and comfortable. I am able to work with the routine your dog currently has and hopefully make her stay with me feel comfortable but also like a vacation. I’ve had my own dogs for over 15 years and understand how unique and special each one is. I’ve cared for senior dogs and most recently a puppy. I work from home during the week so your dog will have company. Depending on your dog’s exercise requirements, I am able to walk your dog before and after work and at lunch. On the weekends, I usually plan an outing such as a hiking, swimming, or visiting a local park. I have a 1 1/2 year old Labrador retriever who is extremely friendly and would love the company of another dog. I also have a cat. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to play, relax in the sun and for easy bathroom breaks. I’d like to work with you to customize a plan for your dog’s care while she is staying with me

About: Hello! I am a pet owner myself and have had pets my whole life. From owning horses, chickens, donkeys, birds, cats and dogs, I’ve taken care of a lot of animals in my life and have even spent time working in a veterinarian clinic a few years ago. I absolutely love them and would love to build a bond with your pets and help make them feel happy while their owners are away. I myself have a 12 year old rescue Russian blue cat named Stryker and just recently lost my girl Willow in 2023 and our big guy Atlas this past May 2025. I work fully online and have a really flexible schedule. Since losing our pup recently I’ve been missing that dog connection and I thought this would be a great way to get out more and also get some exercise myself while also helping other pets get the exercise they need. In addition to caring for your pets, I am also available to bring in mail, water plants, and keep an eye on your home while you’re away for an additional small fee. Looking forward to meeting your adorable 4 legged family members! I work fully remote so my days are however I want them to be which is very flexible. I am passionate about pets and their care😊 In our home my cat Stryker is allowed on furniture, sleeps with us whenever he wants to, and have a generally pet friendly home. To me they’re part of my family. As for in the clients home I would stick to whatever feeding schedule the owner wants and their rules of their home.

“Josh was great with Teddy! He came home happy and tired from playing all day. Thanks Josh!:)”

About: I have always had pets… dogs, cats, llamas, iguanas to parrots and toucans and loved and spoiled them all passionately! You can relax while away, knowing your pet is content and cared for in the most loving way possible. I do prefer dogs to be 60 pounds or less. I am retired with lots of time to walk and play with your pets . I am live rurally, surrounded by nature, with a river at the back of my acreage and a rail/trail out front. I live on acreage. While your pet(s) is staying with me, he/she would always be leashed outside for walks. Inside however, my home would be their home and there'll be lots of cuddles and interaction.

About: I've taken care of my family dog many times. I've also taken care of my friends' pets including cats and puppies. I am reliable and keep a clean and tidy place. I love walking dogs, no matter the weather. I am a full-time teacher so during the week I am pretty busy and have limited time, but I love going hiking and running on the weekends, so I am happy to dogsit over the weekends or on holidays! I am very reliable and organized. I am attentive to the pets' needs and am great at communication with clients. Your pets will be well cared for with me :) I live in an apartment, but it is very easy to step outside, and there is the Mission Creek trail that is a few minutes walk away from my place.
