Dog Sitting Ellison

About: I've had experience caring for many pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I've also cared for several pets of my own, so I'm used to feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, and giving lots of love! I can adapt to each animals personality and requirements. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they're well looked after! I am currently working part-time and will be starting an online course through TRU in September, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am able to easily work pet care into my daily/weekly routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I stick to each pets usual routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow all care instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, and any other specific needs depending on the pet. My biggest priority is that your pets are happy and cared for in their own environment while also being respectful and mindful of your home and belongings. I'm always happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured that your pets are doing well!

About: New to Kelowna.. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 8+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your family. I love to spend our time at home or out on nature walks! I am currently working part time out of the home 3 days a week with 4 hour shifts. Your pets will have free range of our home and will be treated as family! Your pets will receive lots of love, attention and cuddles!

“Jenna went above and beyond caring for my 3 cats. Her updates were informative and gave me peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate having Jenna watch them again”

“Erica is amazing! She watched my brand new puppy for a couple hours while I had to go out and even brought him some little presents. She is so sweet and loving with pups, definitely recommend her to watch your babies!”

“Allie was punctual, caring, and professional. She gave a lot of attention to our dog and followed instructions for our picky eater, she is attentive and we would use her again.”

“Toni is amazing! She did drop off visits for my french bulldog for about 2 weeks. He’s a bougie little guy who gets his lunch meal prepped (due to pancreatitis) and heated up. She came by for about an hour everyday and fed him/ took him out. She also took the time to do drop by introduction before taking care of him. After the first visit he was waiting by the door looking for her the entire night when I get home. If I afford to hire her full time I would. Highly recommend trying her out if you need someone to care for your pets!”

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

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for pets and have always loved being around animals. I have two dogs of my own who live with my family back home, and I absolutely love spending time with them whenever I’m home. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own needs and routines. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and love I give my own! As a university student, I have flexible weekday availability, particularly during the day and early afternoon, as well as availability on Saturday and Sundays. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s schedule! I take pet safety and comfort very seriously and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to their individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from owners regarding feeding, walks, medications, or other routines.

About: I've always had a deep care for animals, and have never met a pet that I didn't love (and that didn't love me)! I have lots of experience (unfortunately) with administering medications and caring for my own terminally ill rescue pets over the years. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I love to explore the valley, so I'm consistently between Westbank and Enderby scoping out new hiking spots. I will stay with your pet for as little or as much time as you'd like! I am a helicopter parent to my own pets, so I have no issue following whatever requests you have that might seem crazy to others.

About: Hi! I’m excited to offer attentive, loving care for your pets. Animal care has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies since I was 10 years old, raising my own pups, and regularly stepping in to look after pets for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. Through training my own dog as a young adult and helping foster rescue dogs in my home, I’ve learned how to handle diverse personalities with patience, clear communication, and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog needs an active, energizing walk around the neighborhood, structured care, or just a calm, cozy stay while you’re away, you can trust that they will be safe, happy, and treated like family. Specialized Experience: Experienced in managing high-energy breeds, anxious temperaments, basic obedience training, multi-dog dynamics, and foster care. My flexible schedule as a part-time student and part-time employee allows me to give your pet consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Because I have substantial breaks between my classes and dedicated afternoon blocks off, I can easily fit in mid-day check-ins, walks, and feeding schedules. Monday & Wednesday: Available for morning, mid-day, and late afternoon check-ins during my class breaks, as well as full evening availability. Tuesday: Open and available all afternoon and evening. Thursday: Free during the morning and afternoon for check-ins and walks before my evening work shift. Friday: Available for morning and mid-day check-ins before my evening work shift. Saturday: Available for evening walks, dinner drop-ins, and overnight stays following my daytime work shift. Sunday: Completely free all day and evening for full-day care, long walks, and flexible scheduling. Note: I’m always happy to share my exact class times during our meet-and-greet to lock in the precise time slots that best fit your dog’s routine! If you are looking for overnight boarding or daycare in West Kelowna, your pup will love staying at my home! Fully Fenced, Spacious Yard: I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room for your dog to safely run, play, fetch, and stretch their legs. Safe & Secure: Peace of mind is my top priority. The perimeter is fully enclosed so your dog can enjoy outdoor playtime safely and securely. Comforts of Home: Indoors, your dog will be treated like family—with cozy places to rest, plenty of personal attention, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Note that my home is pet free as well

I am a full-time teacher, so I have a lot of flexibility and time to care for dogs in the summer months. I have extensive experience and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I understand all dogs have unique needs: feeding schedules, exercise needs, socialization needs, potty breaks ect. For this reason, I only care for a single family at a time to ensure the best care for your pup. I love to take dogs out for walks or runs whenever they need and however long they need. Being surrounded around dogs my whole life, I understand that what an important part of the family our dogs are, and would provide the best care possible. I am very patient, responsible, and punctual. I can't wait to meet your pup! I have a very flexible schedule during the summer months because I work as a teacher.

I will also frequently take care of family and friends dogs and cats. I will do my absolute best to make sure your dogs get the attention, exercise and needs they require! I look forward to meeting and caring for your pups! :) I am at home full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and attend to their daily needs!

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have made sure my house is a very pet friendly environment provided with lots of entertainment, water and food bowls around the house. There are many dedicated spaces if the pups (or cats) need some space or if they just want to relax in private. There are no spots that are off limits for the pups so they have lots of room to play and explore! :) our place has a chill and relaxed vibe to it so your dogs can be comfortable and feel like it’s a safe home away from home.
