Pet Boarding Ellison

“We couldn't be happier with the care Julia gave our dog while we were away! Leaving our pup at her house was so easy because she kept us updated the whole time with plenty of notes and photos. ​Our dog has medications that need to be given regularly, and Julia took care of it with zero issues. Our small dog also got along great with her big dog Blu, which was awesome to see. ​Julia genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease and will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we travel. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

About: Have had both cats and dogs in the past but currently am not in a place to adopt a full time pet. (Travel a lot) While I am in town would love to give someone else’s pets some love and care! I work from home so am home often and love going to the dog park and city park for walks. I work from home and live close to city park and the dog park so walking is quite convenient. I also have a dog wash in my building. While I prefer to watch pets at my home but do home stays if we get to meet beforehand. A reference is also preferred but not necessarily required.

“My pup had a great time with Amanda, looking forward to having her stay with Amanda again!”

About: I am an active & very mobile lady who can offer various types of walks from leisurely to high energy, rain or shine. On leash is preferred but for well trained dogs I will consider off leash. Pick up and drop offs are available for one hour walks. Your dog/s should be dog friendly but if not then I will work with you so your fur baby can have the best experience possible. I can administer medication. As a responsible, skilled, current small dog owner, and former two large dogs & cat mom, your animals will be treated with lots of compassion and love. I will text or email pictures, videos and memos to keep you updated every step of the way. House sitting available.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover, and I’m thrilled to offer pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits through Rover. I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with three wonderful dogs over the years, and I’ve cared for many more — helping out family, friends, and neighbors in both Kelowna and Calgary. Now that I’m retired, I have the time (and heart!) to give your pet the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it's a long walk, a quick drop-in, or cozy cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy when you're away. Dogs tend to like me right away — I think they can tell I genuinely enjoy their company! I take pride in being gentle, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet your furry friend! Being retired gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, consistent care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting depending on your needs. I love staying active, so getting outside with dogs is something I truly enjoy — rain, shine, or snow! Whether it’s a quick potty break or a long walk with lots of sniffing time, I’ll work around your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with a large fenced deck and a spacious yard for play and fresh air. For bathroom breaks or outdoor time, I always take dogs out on a leash to ensure they’re secure and supervised at all times. When caring for your pets. I follow your instructions closely to keep your dog on their usual routine, and I always aim to create a calm, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, loved, and well looked after — whether they’re visiting me or I’m visiting them.

About: Our daughter would like to take the lead. She is new to pet sitting but has a way with all animals. Mom has dog and cat sitting experience from before kids and also had a dog growing up. We are mostly available for weekend jobs. With notice we can usually work a Monday or Friday in. We are open to weekday stays but we work out of the house so it’s a long day for the animals in the house. We have a fenced yard and are open to crate trained or free range animals. Your animals will become part of our family during their stay.

“Courtney was a great doggie sitter for our Shera! We felt so happy for Shera knowing she would have another dog close in age to play with and for company. Shera was given lots of cuddles by the looks of the photos and exercise outside. We would happily recommend Courtney and use her again for dog-sitting Shera!”

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and am fortunate to now have a small Pomeranian girl who is VERY sociable. She gets along with any dog and would be present if your dog is staying at my house. I love dogs and would provide the best care for them wether just a walk or pet sitting. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, playtime and pet sitting throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will always follow your usual routine, feeding instructions and any specific care needs you provide. I’m attentive, responsible and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“James provided excellent care for our mini labradoodle. He treated him like he was a part of the family. I 100% recommend him and will definitely be back!”

“Emma was great with my little, high maintenance, Moka. she sent me updates and was extremely patience with my Maltipoo. It was the first time leaving Moka with someone as we usually carry her everywhere, but we couldn't this time. I would choose Emma again and recommend her to anyone.”

“My Gia spent the weekend with Skye and Nate and we had a great experience. Skye kept in touch with me while I was away and sent update photos. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again”

About: Hello! My partner Chris and I would be happy to host your fur baby (or fur babies) in our home! We have two wonderful and friendly doodles (a mama and baby duo!). Rosie has been with us now since 2020 and Ginger came along in 2024. Both girls are spayed. I work from home. Both of our girls are very friendly and gentle and so are we! We invite other pups (neutered males or spayed/unspayed females) to hang out with us! Our girls love playing fetch and anything to do with the water. Pups who have similar interests would fit right in! We are happy to host your pup for daytime daycare or overnight stays. We are centrally located on Tamarack Drive off Springfield and have a fenced yard and easy access to the Mission Creek Greenway. Your pup(s) will be treated to walks, hikes, swims, and fetch galore! I work part-time from home so I'm available all day and night to take care of our doggies. If I have to run out for an errand there is always someone home. :) My partner Chris usually walks the dogs morning + night and we might take them for an additional adventure somewhere in the middle. With the Mission Creek Greenway right outside our door, little mini adventures are common. :) Our girls love sitting on the deck, listening to the birds, and watching people (and dogs) go by. We feed our dogs twice daily and they get 2+ daily walks + additional fun adventures (fetch, dog park, car ride, etc). Our girls have frequent opportunities to go outside and catch some fresh air, sniff, or use the "loo". We let our dogs on the furniture and they either sleep in our bed with us or on the floor in our bedroom. We have a crate in the room and our young pup sometimes uses it (her bedroom). We can accommodate your dog's food schedule, walk schedule, and sleeping needs. I'm also happy to administer any necessary medications to your pup.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a love for animals! I’ve also had my own rescue dog, and fostered rescue dogs, which had given me first hand experience for caring for dogs with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making each dog feel safe and comfortable. I truly believe our pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own! I am currently a student at Okanagan College, which allows me to have a daily flexible schedule! On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m typically away for 4-5 hours, while on other weekdays I’m usually only away for 1-2 hours. I also work as a part time server, but I currently only work 1 shift per week which lasts about 5 hours. Outside of school and work I spend most of my time at home or enjoying the outdoors! I understand how important it is to know that your pet is in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors, as well as access to beautiful hiking trails right behind my home for walks and adventures! I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routines, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual preferences. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, playing in the yard, or cuddling up on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands!

About: I have plenty of experience working with animals including dogs, cats and rabbits. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and have been missing having a furry companion at my side while I go for my walks and runs out in nature. I would be so happy to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks or house sitting while you are away. I currently work full time. Though I am available for your doggie needs in the evenings from Monday to Friday, along with being available throughout the entire weekend. I am very trustworthy, reliable and attentive to your animals needs. I would respect your home as I do my own. I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your pup!

“Emilie was great! Kept my pup busy with lots of walks and was very communicative.”

About: I have over four and a half years of pet retail experience as well as 18+ years experience caring for my own pets. I have extensive knowledge of pet nutrition as well as food allergies / intolerances. I am comfortable feeding a raw diet as well as administering medications. I am currently available weekends with the exception of some evening check-ins during the week. I am available to stay in your home or host your fur babies at my home! Your pets comfort and happiness is top priority and I'm happy to accommodate as much as possible! Meet and greets are a must for any over nights or long term care.

“Bryn had an amazing stay with Aidan, Amy and Millie.”

“Rodd was amazing! First he drove to meet us closer to where we were staying. He had a great vehicle spot for our dog to lay during the drive. He took him for walks and played with him. He also sent videos throughout the day! Highly recommend Rodd!!”

“Wesley had an amazing time with Audrey and Alex! They sent me pictures every day, and told me what they were up to which was very nice. It seems like they took him everywhere! When I picked him up he was happy and relaxed. They are also lovely to coordinate with and very accommodating. I would definitely ask them to take care of Wesley again! Thank you guys!”

About: Hello! My name is Ally. I’ve had dogs my whole life since I was 3 years old, and one cat. Animals are my whole heart. I volunteer with animal rescue and animal emergency response groups in Kelowna. I also worked as a vet tech for a month (I decided I would rather just care for animals rather than deal with the medical side or things) but I do have experience calming, restraining, giving medicine and whatever your pet may require. For dog walking I can walk small and large dogs, for overnight care in my home I can only do smaller dogs as my landlord has only approved small dogs. I lost my soul dog a few weeks ago due to heart disease, she was a rescue. She was a special needs senior dog who needed medications a couple times a day and help up on the furniture, I have happily built my life routine around caring for her and now that she is gone I would love to open my home and my time to helping care for other people’s dogs until I’m ready for my own again. I also am a photographer/pet photographer and often you’ll receive some cute photos of your pet from our time together. Daily text, call, FaceTime with your pet videos can be provided upon request, and for in home visits I can water plants or any other up keep while you are away tasks upon request as well. Open to boarding for long periods of time as well I am currently in between jobs so I have lots of free time, I am currently available weekdays and weekends, and once I am working again I will just be available weekends. I have a small baby gated yard at my place, I never let my dog out without me going out with her, I have lots of room in my place, if your dog or cat needs to be crated, space is not an issue.
