“Kesi is gifted and she has a natural way with dogs. As many West Kootenay dog owners, I have rescue dogs. Kesi instinctually understood our youngest pup and responded to her perfectly! . Typically it takes at least 3 meet and greets for our dogs to warm up to strangers. Kesi had our pups trust by the second visit! We have already booked again! We highly recommend Kesi!”
About: Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a Dalmatian and have had several cats of my own over the years, so I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs. I work from home part-time and generally have availability for lunch time drop ins or walks. I tend to be available on Mondays and occasionally on weekends. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home, but I do provide walks and drop-in visits to give your pets the attention and care they deserve.
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 work from home 3 days a week and I am a Teacher on Call for 1-2 days a week. I can go on a walk in the morning and afternoon/evening. On days that I work from home, I will be with your pet all day. When I'm at the school, I leave around 8 am and am usually home by 3:30 pm. 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.
About: I have grown up with pets and will love your animals as if they're my own. I have numerous years experience dog and house sitting and love getting out for adventures and giving your pets all the love and the attention they deserve. I recently lost my dog of 9 and a half years and am missing having a dog around. I love getting out for adventures hiking, camping, or going on long walks. I work from home as well so your pet will not be left unattended for any long periods of time. I am great at communication and can happily send you photos and updates about your pet. You can enjoy your trip knowing your pet is in good hands! I currently do school and work from home so I am always around and have full flexibility. I have lots of time for dog walks and adventures and giving your pet all the love. I live very close to a dog beach and walking trails and can also walk right from the front door. Your pets will be in both a safe and loving environment and will be treated with so much love, attention and affection.

Castlegar pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was very responsive, kind, experienced and professional. We were so nervous to leave our fur babies at home but she sent us photo and text updates during each home visit which kept us at ease. She also went above and beyond providing extra enrichment for them to ease the transition. We will definitely be looking to work with her again in the future.
