“I am thrilled to share my heartfelt gratitude for Lauren who took exceptional care of my two adorable cats while I was out of town. From the moment I left, I knew Fish and Chip were in the best hands. Lauren went above and beyond, not only ensuring they were fed and their litter boxes were clean but also showering them with love and attention. My cats were clearly happy and well-cared-for, which put my mind at ease throughout my time away. What impressed me most was Laurens’s genuine affection for my cats and her thoughtful updates, which reassured me that everything was going smoothly. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and truly understands the needs of your pets, I highly recommend Lauren. They made my time away worry-free and my return home a joyful reunion with my happy cats.”

13. Ida S.
About: For my first two months in Canada, I was pet sitting on TrustedHouseSitters. In total I took care of 4 cats and one dog. In the month before this I was in Finland, taking care of my aunts medium sized dog, Saana and my grandma's chihuahua, Telle, feeding them and taking them on daily walks. I own a cat back home in NZ, Snoopy. I've grown up my whole childhood around medium sized dogs. We had a border-collie, Niisku, when I was young and then two huntaways (nz farm dogs) Muscat and Leffe since. They have all been active dogs that require decent walks. I am an active person, enjoying going for long walks, runs and hiking. I'm looking for pet experiences because I love pets and miss having friendly companions, but also love an excuse to get outdoors. I am available immediately. I am new to Fernie and currently job hunting, so am flexible for weekdays, weekends, both during the day or morning/evenings. I have great communication skills, and will update you if there are any issues. I treat any pet or home like I would my own with lots of love, care and patience. I am a clean and tidy person. I have references on my Trustedhousesitters account.


14. Kevin D.
About: I’ve lived with dogs for the last 10 years. Love taking them on adventures and seeing their individual personalities. Can handle any breed types or ages I’m taking a break in between jobs so my schedule is fairly wide open as far as times of the day and days of the week. I have vehicle access if I need to drive to meet you. I live in a pet friendly home. I would mostly be walking the dogs or checking in on them if needed. Most of the time would be spent getting exercise.
