Dog Sitting Ellison

“Amanda was caring and reliable. We felt confident that our anxious dog was well looked after and loved!”

“Lisa was great! She was very attentive to our pets needs and made the weekend alot simplier for us. We missed her buzzing in and she came back and completed the service despite our mistake. We are grateful for her service and would recommend her to others and use her again for future visits.”

About: I have always had a cat in my life and I have also volunteered over 200 hours caring for cats at the SPCA. I experienced a wide variety of cats, including many shy and anxious ones. While I have the most experience with cats, I would love to take your well-behaved dog for a walk or run. I am currently a student taking online courses, so I have complete flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I plan my schoolwork around visits so I can meet your pet’s needs and stay consistent with their routine. I’m a calm and patient person, and I always let your cat or dog approach me on their own terms. I never force interaction—I give them the space they need to feel safe and comfortable around me.

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, growing up on acreages in Alberta and Colorado where caring for pets and farm animals was simply a way of life. My mother was a professional breeder and handler of Golden Retrievers and Old English Sheepdogs, and I grew up helping care for, train, and showing those breeds. Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and sharing my home with them throughout my life has given me a deep appreciation for their unique personalities and individual needs. I truly know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I promise to care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own from young to senior care. I am happily available for your pets weekdays before 7:30 AM and evenings after 3:30 PM. I am also available on weekends and including statutory holidays. I prefer a meet and greet prior to the booking date so I can understand the full scope of your pets needs and their routine. I think that is incredibly important for their mental and physical well-being.

“Hope was excellent with my puppy. She is 20 weeks old and is teething. She is quite mouthy right now and Hope was calm and patient with her. I will be asking Hope to return on those days when I have to be out of the house for extended periods.”

About: I've had animals of my own my whole life and taken care of other's pets for 30+ years. I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite and they only sleep with me if they're allowed 😉. I'm just as happy cuddling with a cat though! I work from home, so I can provide around the clock care for your fur babies! I work from home and have lots of freedom and time to walk and care for your pets. I enjoy being active with the animals, also cuddling up and relaxing. I will provide care for your pets in your home exactly as you see fit. I follow directions well, am adaptable, and just want you and your animals to feel safe and cared for. I'm clean, conscientious and understand the trust and respect needed to have others in your personal space, and I honor that.

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!

About: My senior chihuahua is not much of a walker anymore so looking to meet other dogs that like to go for longer walks or shorter if they want :) I am a travelling pet sitter and live out of my van with my senior chihuahua so am very flexible for sits or walks . My Chico is most comfortable in the van cause he knows it’s our home I’m really easy to get along with and flexible to clients needs for their pets , communication is always key to keep pets happy and safe .

About: I absolutely love dogs, just seeing one instantly makes my day. I’m originally from India and currently away from home, studying at ubco. I’ve attended multiple ubco BARK sessions just to be around dogs because caring for them helps fill that space in my heart, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it is hiking, walking, playtime, or just quiet company. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy planning my day around walks, feeding, and playtime. Since I’m away from my own dog, caring for other dogs is something I truly look forward to, and I make sure each pet gets attention, exercise, and love every day. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they always have fresh water, taking them for walks and bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I also keep their space clean and safe, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice if anything seems off. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. 🐶💛

About: 10+ years owning, rescuing and nurturing puppies, dogs, kittens and cats. Have dog obedience training and can help to correct any issues with your pet. Lots of experience with leash training and treat giving! Your pet will get lots of exercise and have fun. Any unwanted behavior will be corrected with non-force. Repetitive verbal communication and hand signals will be used. I will want to know all the quirks about your pet and main commands you use! I have ample amounts of time to spend with your pet in or out of the home. You will get lots of pictures. As of right now I have time on the weekends and after work at 4. In my spare time I am a very active person being outside on park walks, hiking, going to the lake and jogging. I'm here to help you while you are out and I get to spend time with your dog! (Or cat)

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.

“Toni is very responsive and was able to help me with very short notice. She took my dog on great walks and made it very comfortable and convenient. Thank you for your support and 10/10 recommend!”

About: Hello, my name is Nicole. My dad is an RCMP dog handler, so I have had dogs around my whole life. Specifically, I have grown up and cared for our German Shepards, lab, golden retriever, and Yorkie cross. 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 have all day everyday to give your pup the attention they need:) I live in an apartment, but live very close to a large fenced activity field. I would be more then happy to bring your dog out whenever they need. Crates are no problem as well.

About: I’ve been the primary trainer & caregiver for our own dogs for 20+ years. I currently provide in home care for an Aussie Shepard along with my 2 Border Collies. I am e-collar trained for off leash hikes/walks at your request. I am experienced in administering medications. My background in Nursing and Mothering gives me a keen eye for watching an animals health and comfort while in my care. I am able to provide socialization with my own dogs as requested by you. Drop in visits & walks will typically be between 9am and 2pm during the day. Evenings also available. Can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I’m happy to come visit, walk and feed your pup. At my home the yard is fenced. There is a pool - no doggy swimming, but it’s great spatial training for them. I use raised cots & kennels for quiet down time and when I am out of the house without the dogs.

About: I grew up with a hyper active jack Russell that I cared for primarily and when he got sick I had to clean up for him a lot. So I’m great with old dogs, have helped many friends care for their puppies and in high school stayed at parents friends houses watching their large dogs. I’m not terribly afraid of any dog unless they give good reason. I love working out so taking dogs for walks is a treat for me too. Where I live I don’t have room for dogs so would love to love on dogs caring for them when their parents need it. I have most evenings on week days free, Sunday days and love to learn, if your training your dog I would love to aid in that.

“This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a bit nervous…but Erin kept us updated on the pups and sent photos and we were able to relax and enjoy our little get away! Was a very positive experience and we will definitely be keeping this awesome service in mind for the future!”

“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 :)”

Rebecca R.

“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!”

“Kendallyn and Wade were fantastic sitters for our cat! I booked with them last minute and they were super responsive and able to come for a meet and greet with little notice! They were very engaged, flexible and respectful with our space and our kitty! I would recommend them and look forward to booking with them again next time!”
