Pet Sitting Ellison

“I’ve had Yolanda do two drop-in visits in my home for my two pups (16 month old labradoodles) and she did a great job. She took them for a little stretch break and sent pics during the visit, etc. Both pups were calm when I got home and she had no problem with their little routine. Glad I called her and will have her back to hang out with my pups again!”

About: As a social work student, I believe all behaviour is a form of communication, regardless of species. Therefore, I have an absolute, unconditional love for all animals, and have been a pet owner my entire life. After a 3 year hiatus, I am back on rover! I have a few years of formal experience, though have been providing dog walking, house/pet sitting, and feeding/bathing help for my neighbors and friends for a combined total of 20 years. I am a diverse provider, in that I take care of all types of animals, with specialization in reactive/anxious animals! I have been told I have a patient, calming, reassuring, and playful energy, which can help both initial meetings and ongoing interactions. I have also had experience with other animals, such as cats, rodents, birds, and more! If you have any questions regarding my services, availability, or my experience, shoot me a message any time, and I will respond as soon as possible! I treat my pets like family, and always try to snuggle, pet, and play with my animals as much as I can. I care for any animal as I would my own. Within your home, I am able to bathe, walk, train, play with, and accommodate any special requests or needs of your pet. Within the community, I ensure that walking locations are extremely safe and secure, taking into account the dog's sensitivities, i.e. other dogs, children, etc. while also making sure that the owner is satisfied with the walk. This may mean a walk could include some playtime, jogging, socialization, and any other needs you may have. Currently, I am in school from 11-5 Mondays and Thursdays, though am flexible otherwise and am always willing to accommodate! Unfortunately I don’t have space in my home, but I am more than willing to take care of your pets in yours! Within the community, I ensure that walking locations are extremely safe and secure, taking into account a pup’s sensitivities, i.e. other dogs, children, etc. while also making sure that the owner is satisfied with the walk. This may mean a walk could include some playtime, jogging, socialization, and any other needs you may have. Regarding the home, I always leave your home the way I found it, and always follow your instructions precisely. Safety, trust, and respect, are three components that I take very seriously when looking after any animal, therefore if I have any questions, I always reach out, as I feel that there should always be an open dialogue between myself and the owner!

“Kirstin is INCREDIBLE! We trust her so much and our dog absolutely loves when she comes to check in on her. Cannot recommend enough!!”

“Georgia was great with my cats! She was able to administer an inhaler for my senior and make sure she only had access to her special vet food. My kitten was scared at first, but quickly got attached to her. Georgia was also great with helping water plants and take garbage out while I was travelling for work. She is very responsible and I felt reassured knowing she was here to help. I highly recommend her!”

“Isabel was great with our cat while we were away, she even managed to get some snuggles out of her which is no mean feat because she's pretty standoffish to new people. We'll definitely use Isabel next time we're away, thanks!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for pets and have loved animals since childhood. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and secure. I am patient, attentive and responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am experienced with different breeds, personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles or quiet rest, I always adapt to their needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during their stay so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide full attention and supervision to pets in my care. I am available during weekdays and weekends, and I can adapt to your pet’s routine. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm apartment environment that is pet-friendly and secure. I always follow feeding schedules and special instructions carefully. I provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.

“Morgan was great and helped me out last minute with a longer than standard drop in! Would recommend”

About: I’ve spent 15 years caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies and rescue kittens and dogs with unique needs. My experience includes puppy training and development, socialization, positive-reinforcement training, reactivity management, agility work, and caring for cats and dogs with specific medical, dietary and behavioural needs. Over 15 years I’ve shared my home with Boston Terriers, Pitbull Shar-Pei rescues and two sassy rescue cats, and have helped friends and neighbours with pet sitting, boarding, walks and training. Most recently, I spent three months helping a neighbour with daily walks and training for their Husky puppy. I’m a big believer that every animal has their own personality, quirks and way of communicating. I enjoy getting to know each animal, respecting their individual needs, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared while their people are away. I’m currently flexible and available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks. I’m happy to build my day around your pet’s established feeding, exercise, training and care routines, so they can enjoy consistency and attention while you’re away. With 15 years of experience around animals, I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, energy levels and behavioural needs. From maintaining familiar routines to recognising behavioural cues and respecting boundaries, I take the time to understand what helps each pet feel secure. I follow your instructions carefully, pay attention to feeding and exercise needs, and use positive reinforcement where appropriate. I also respect your home and believe in keeping you informed, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are being cared for thoughtfully.

About: Hi, I'm Avery! I’ve grown up around animals and have had both dogs and cats in my home since I was nine years old. At one point, I lived in a busy household with four dogs and two cats! For the past 10 years, I’ve also regularly pet sat and walked dogs for people in my community. So, I have lots of experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I now have a two-year-old mini Goldendoodle of my own, his name is Matcha! We’ve completed both beginner and intermediate dog training together, which has given me more hands-on experience with training and positive reinforcement. I’ve also volunteered at a veterinary clinic, where I had the opportunity to work around animals while helping out in my community. I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets with the same care I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I pay attention to each pet’s body language and personality and adapt as needed. On walks, I pay attention to our surroundings and always prioritize your pet’s safety.

“Jocelynn was absolutely amazing with Fen. Fen can be sometimes skittish around new people, but she was able to connect with her quite easily. She was good with administering pills orally via mouth so if you have a senior animal like me with medical issues they will be in good hands. A++ and will definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with two dogs, big and small, so I know just how important your furry friends are. Since I was 10 years old i’ve taken care of all types of dogs, and I am comfortable providing any type of care. I am a huge animal lover and have had much experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and even reptiles! I am currently in school studying a major in Biology and a minor in Zoology with hopes to spend much of my time around animals. As a dedicated student and lifelong animal enthusiast, I provide attentive, trustworthy care for your furry friends while you’re away. I am more than comfortable house/dog sitting over multiple nights and would love to have a companion in the house! Before caring for your pet, I will hope to be made aware of any special care necessary so I can be prepared and care for your pet in the best way possible. I am currently a student athlete on the women’s volleyball team, studying at UBC Okanagan. This means that most of my time is spent at the school in class, or in the gym. That being said, I do need your pet to be able to be left for longer hours throughout the day and possibly alright late in to the evening. I would plan to discuss my schedule with you in detail so that there is full understanding on when I will be around for overnight care etc. I am always open to discuss the best times needed for a walk around the block with your furry friend. With that in mind, the amount of time your pet is able to stay alone will be the most important question before I am able to provide my care. I have a fenced yard and a lovely german shepherd to keep your fur baby company. There is no crate, but am able to bring one into my home so your dog can sleep peacefully.

About: Skills: Excellent cuddler Proficient in head scratches and belly rubs W-A-L-K... yes, yes yes! Master in litterbox/poop cleaning Not afraid to use the word “no” I would love to help keep your good boys and girls happy and healthy! ...i’m much more interested in dog walking as I work a full time job, but i’m open to pet sitting as well. Experiences: Besides having a mischievous house goblin of my own, I used to pet sit for my neighbours dogs and cats quite frequently. Which involved feeding, cleaning, brushing, walking or letting them in/out of the house. So I understand the love and care that needs to go into looking after your precious fur babies. I would love to chat with you or get walking soon! I'm currently not committed to a full-time job, so i do have flexibility when it comes to accommodating various pet sitting jobs. While I love caring for animals, I also appreciate having time for personal pursuits and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Therefore, I aim to find a schedule for pet sitting that allows me to provide excellent care to animals while still having time for myself and other commitments. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize respect for their space and safety. I pet-proof my environment by securely storing food and keeping plants out of reach. Consistency is key in behavior management, with positive reinforcement for good behavior and redirection for unwanted actions. I remain vigilant for signs of illness, ready to take prompt action in emergencies.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and have owned Dobermans since 2006, raising all three of mine from eight-week-old puppies. My current girl, Poppy, is almost six and is my absolute world! Over the years, I’ve experienced just about every stage of dog ownership, from the endless energy and mischief of puppyhood to the slower pace and changing needs of senior dogs. I’ve also cared for my dogs through serious illnesses, surgeries, and lengthy recoveries. Those experiences have taught me a lot about patience, compassion, and recognizing when a dog needs a little extra care. I’ve also spent plenty of time walking and looking after friends’ and neighbours’ dogs, including Labs, Golden Retrievers, Doodles, Corgis, Shibas, Shih Tzus, and more. I’m comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes, including large, energetic breeds. One thing I know from Poppy is that going for a walk is often the highlight of a dog’s day! Whether it’s a brisk walk to burn off some energy or a leisurely adventure with plenty of sniff stops, I want every dog I walk to feel like they’ve had the best day ever. I know how particular I am about who I trust with Poppy, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so fitting a few extra walks into my day is something I genuinely look forward to! I’m happy to accommodate regular weekly walks or occasional visits when life gets busy, your workday runs long, or your dog could simply use a little extra attention. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your dog, especially when you’re not home. I feel exactly the same way about Poppy! For walks, I’ll come to your home, follow your dog’s usual routine, and take them on a safe, on-leash walk around their own neighbourhood. I don’t transport dogs or take them to off-leash parks. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection, depending on what your dog needs. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your dog is comfortable and safely settled before I leave. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. I prefer to meet new dogs and their owners beforehand so everyone feels comfortable and we can go over any routines, quirks, or special needs.

About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.

About: I’m a dog trainer and I believe that all dogs should train with positive renforcement. I treat your pups as my own when I am with them. 🐾 Professional Dog Trainer & Behaviour Specialist Working with dogs is my everyday life and my passion.

I travel across Canada to provide dog training and behaviour consultations, helping dog owners better understand their dogs, improve communication, and build a stronger relationship through positive, effective training.

I offer personalized training guidance to help you and your dog feel more confident and comfortable together.

Please note: I’m currently not offering dog boarding services. 🐶 Every dog deserves understanding, patience, and the right guidance. How I Care for Pets in Your Home 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their usual routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, and preferences. During visits, I provide: * Fresh food and water according to their routine. * Walks, playtime, and exercise appropriate for their needs. * Plenty of attention, companionship, and affection. * A clean and comfortable environment. * Medication administration when agreed upon and appropriate. * Regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I understand that every dog is different. Some are playful and energetic, while others need patience, space, and time to feel comfortable with a new person. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s routine. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands while you’re away. Please feel free to share your pet’s needs and any special instructions before the visit. I’m happy to discuss how I can help! 🐶

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: 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”
