“Erika was fantastic right from the first meet and greet! Our pup created some challenges for her since she has abandonment issues and is very attached to me. Erika provided a safe and loving environment where Lily felt safe. She provided pictures and feedback every day. When we picked Lily up after a 4 day holiday, she was content and obviously well cared for. We will definitely trust Erika with Lily in the future!! Thank you Erika for allowing us to have a stress free get away :)”
“Amanda is absolutely amazing! She is super friendly and has a wealth of experience and expertise with cats - and it shows. We received regular video and photos of our precious kitty to keep us updated with how she was doing at what I affectionately call 'kitty cat boarding school'. We will definitely have Amanda on the top of our list for future cat sitting! We highly recommend her!”
“Awesome. My Arlo had a great time.”
“First time leaving deuce with someone other then friends or family. Got lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Got to go and do a meet the day before and see where deuce would be staying. You could really tell deuce felt at home there and was well taken care off. Made leaving him so much easier”
“Roberta was simply sensational with Kane. It was his first time staying with someone else for 2 weeks and I was a little unsettled. Roberta certainly eased my anxiety by sending almost daily pictures of Kane and his various activities throughout the day. Based on Roberta's messages and pictures I knew Kane was in a loving home-away-from home during his 2 weeks vacation. I strongly recommend Roberta for puppy/dog care as she truly loves puppies and dotes on them during their stay with her. I will definitely use Roberta in the future as I know Kane will be very well looked after and loved!”
“Candace was great! Sammy came back very happy.”
“Bob and ML were fantastic! They have a genuine love for dogs, were attentive to my pet's needs, reliable, and kept me updated with regular text and photo updates. Their space was perfect, amazing yard and a welcoming home!! I highly recommend them if you are looking for a fun and loving place to send your dog! ❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Lauren, a dependable and experienced pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve had pets my entire life and currently care for both cats and a dog, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I bring years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments including rescues, seniors, and anxious pups. I offer reliable, personalized care tailored to your pet’s unique needs, whether that’s an energetic walk, a calm check-in, or anything in between. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away and to give you total peace of mind. As a casual healthcare worker, my schedule is dynamic, but I’m flexible and can often accommodate pet care days, evenings, and weekends with proper notice given I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where animals are treated like family. I offer a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort.
“Mackenna was awesome! She dogsat our border collie and he had a blast with her. She was very communicative throughout and sent us lovely photos of Jasper having a great time. Would definitely book with her again any time we go out of town!”
About: Hi! My name is Rosa. I have lived with and cared for many dogs and cats, and done regular dog walking for many years. I have an intuitive relationship with animals - always creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. I look after any pet as if its my own - showing respect along with healthy boundaries. I am happy to take dogs on walks wherever you prefer and have a car so can head out to various locations outside of Nelson, as needed. Communication and trust are important to me, so I will happily call and provide updates, photos, and videos of your precious dogs and cats while pet sitting! I am very happy to adapt to whatever situation and your needs, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss anything further or if you have any questions at all! I'm currently working part-time / self-employed, so I will have ample time to care for your precious furry friends and be on a fairly flexible schedule for walks and feeding. Also looking for opportunities for long-term pet and house sitting from September onwards. In your home, I will carefully adhere to whatever safety precautions you have in place to protect your precious dogs and cats - be it keeping gates, doors or windows shut and crating when necessary. I am very attentive! I can send regular photo or video updates - just let me know what you need! I can only pet sit at your home, although doggy day-care is available in our large garden - which is fenced, with ample shade under a big magnolia tree, and grassy area to play on, we have a trampoline which the doggos love to nap under too!
About: I’ve spent years caring for furry companions and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going on long walks with an energetic pup or curling up with a cuddly cat, I’m all about giving animals the love, attention, and routine they’re used to. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who just want some quiet company. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions and give medications if needed. I treat every home with respect and care. Let me know how I can help keep your pets happy and your mind at ease! I am available all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and in the mornings and evenings from Thursday-Monday. From September-November I am available full time, everyday, and I’ll be offering special rates during these months. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner, such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, and medication requirements, to ensure consistency for the pet. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and engaged. For dogs, I take them on regular walks, give them opportunities to explore, and tailor activities to their energy level. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing care, companionship, and lots of love to help them feel secure while their owner is away.
