Dog Sitting Ellison

“We booked Tyra to pop in once a day to check on our cats. She was reliable, stopping in each day around the same time. She also sent us pictures of her time with our one cat who loves attention, which assured us her attendance and gave us the opportunity to see our sweet fur babies who we were missing. Also, Tyra was sweet and personable when we met her. We hope to book her again :)”

About: About Us 💍 We’re Nicole and Chris, an engaged couple and lifelong animal lovers. We both grew up surrounded by pets. We are very experienced and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether you need one-time pet care or someone you can count on regularly, we’d love to help! If you'd like, we can arrange a meet & greet beforehand, and you're welcome to take a look at our home/yard. About Our Dog 🐺 We have a German Shepherd named Nala who loves having other dogs around and is always excited to make new friends. She’s friendly, playful, and enjoys being around other dogs, cats, and kids. We both work from home - Nicole one day a week and Chris the other four days - so someone is always home with your pet. We have a very spacious, fully-fenced yard located in Rutland where your dog(s) can safely roam free and play. Our home is VERY pet-friendly, and dogs/cats are welcome to go wherever they please. We have a dog door that allows dogs to go in/out of the house, along with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We also have a large crate available if needed. We’re happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate different preferences for walking, sleeping, feeding, and play.

“This is not the first time that we ask Kristi to look after our two cats. She is very thoughtful, responsible, loves pets and we are cannot be more happy that we found Kristi!”

About: I've been pet sitting for 21 years and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've worked as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel assistant, veterinary assistant, and now working toward a profession of dog training, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I don't simply exercise dogs - I help them build better habits. Every walk is a training opportunity, with a focus on calm behaviour, loose leash walking, engagement, impulse control, and good manners, all tailored to your dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, reactive or anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets requiring medication or special care. Whether your dog needs an adventure, extra patience, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own while providing plenty of updates and photos for your peace of mind. I'm currently building my dog training business full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my attention to every pet in my care. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, every dog receives plenty of individual attention, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is quality care - not rushing from appointment to appointment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routines, and comfort level before every booking. I use secure equipment, practice safe handling, and never introduce unfamiliar dogs unless requested by the owner. For boarding, dogs become part of my daily routine with structured walks, rest periods, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps dogs feel relaxed and secure while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Great with my pup! Will be booking for future visits ☺️”

About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING** Hi there! My name is Melissa. I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Some people call me the dog whisperer but I'm not here to brag ;) A little About Me… My dog Daisy is the love of my life so I completely understand how scary it can be leaving your precious fur babies with a stranger. My hope is to make sure that both dogs and owners are comfortable and happy with allowing me to take care of their pets while they are busy or away. Which is why I always meet pet parents before booking with me. I have owned and cared for puppies, adult and senior dogs. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I promise, I will love and care for your pet with patience and compassion. I can walk dogs and check in on pets multiple times a day. I’m a student but doing all my schooling online so my schedule is very flexible. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own and based on the instructions given by the owner. It is pet specific.

About: I grew up around dogs and over the years have been a reliable dog-sitter/walker for friends and family. I have fostered dogs and was a foster-fail (meaning we adopted) with my dog Juno who is featured in most of my pictures. I have learned so many skills from fostering and raising Juno. I keep Juno quite structured in her day to day because she thrives off that being a working breed, with lots of down time and snuggles. I am respectful of how each owner operates and will follow instructions diligently. I recently moved to Kelowna from Ontario for school. I am a social worker back home and currently doing my MSW at UBCO. My schedule is quite flexible, I’m available Friday-Tuesday anytime and Wednesdays and Thursdays I only have morning availability. I currently do not have any pets in my home, I am doing long distance from both my partner and my dog Juno. When I am interacting with pets in my home or their home I am respectful of their space and needs, and provide structure as needed.

About: 🐾 Animal lover who believes pets are family! I’ll treat your furry friends with lots of love, care, and attention, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and spend very little time at my desk. This leaves me lots of time for walks, puppy parks, beach and cuddles. We do not have a fenced yard but a gated patio area. We also love trips to the park or a walk around the neighbourhood.

About: Hi there, fellow dog lover! My name is James, and I’m a lifelong dog enthusiast now based in beautiful Kelowna. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Mini Poodle, Gordon, who was by my side for over seven wonderful years. Losing him has only deepened my appreciation for the companionship, joy, and care that dogs bring into our lives. I’ve been around dogs my entire life - from energetic puppies to sweet seniors - and I truly understand the unique needs of every age and personality. Whether your pup needs a gentle, calm companion or an active walking buddy, I’m here to offer dependable, attentive, and loving care. I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house-sitting services, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. If you have any questions or want to learn more about how I can support your dog’s routine, feel free to reach out. I’d be honoured to care for your pup. Thank you for considering me, James Pet care is something I genuinely look forward to—it’s a rewarding and joyful part of my week. I’m available Monday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. onward, and fully available on both Saturdays and Sundays. Whether it’s an evening walk after work or a weekend full of fetch and cuddles, I’m here to provide consistent, attentive, and loving care whenever you and your pup need it most. By special appointment or request, I’m also happy to accommodate daytime care during weekday business hours—just reach out, and I’ll do my best to make it work! When caring for pets—whether in my home or yours—my top priorities are safety, comfort, and creating a calm, positive environment. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, temperament, and specific needs, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for at all times. In your home, I maintain your pet’s familiar surroundings and routines to reduce stress and provide consistency. I always respect your space and follow any instructions to the letter—from feeding and medications to favourite toys and walk preferences. On walks and drop-ins, I’m vigilant and attentive, always keeping your pup’s safety front of mind. I use secure leashes, avoid risky situations with unfamiliar dogs, and ensure your pet returns home happy and tired. You can trust that your dog is in loving, capable hands with me—and that I’ll treat them like part of the family.

“Tiernan took very good care of our 19 1/2 yr old cat Marley. It wasn’t an easy job that just involved filling up a cat dish and scooping the litter box. She was mixing wet food, setting up cat watching bird videos and making a warm comfy beds with a hot water bottle. At a very Sr age, Marley needs a lot of encouragement to eat, love and attention and Tiernan did a fantastic job! She also had to come early morning and later in the evening and she was here faithfully. She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was full, happy and content. We received thorough updates on how he was doing and pictures with every visit she made. We couldn’t be happier with the job she did for us. Plus she is a complete sweetheart! We will most definitely ask Tiernan to come back. Thanks so much Tiernan!”

About: I’ve had dogs for 5 years now and I have a truly new appreciation in these furry little best friends. I have two now and I take an active part in training, enriching, and loving these adorable creatures. We have created a small network of friends where we get together for play dates. I love having the dog friends over and we engage in fun times and activities. Thus has led me to Rover so that I can help with other dog owners. I work remote so I have a lot of flexibility where I can give my attention to fur friends. We love to go to special places and would love to bring along some fur friends. I have a small dog for company who is 1.5 years old. We love to go on trips and walks (weather permitting), and a fenced yard.

I am a big walker so I am looking for some dogs to join me who love it just as much as I do!
