Pet Sitting in Fernie

About: I've been lucky enough to have multiple people trust me to care for their best friends. From puppies to bearded dragons and all the cats inbetween, I'm open to caring to all sorts of animals. Quite open for any potential sittings - currently settling in Fernie for the ski season and looking to supplement my income while playing with more animals. My two best friends travel with me in my Sprinter van and enjoy all the sights and sounds of the outdoors when they can. Both come on walks - Dee prefers the mornings and evenings but we make it work!

“Louie had a great time with Sue. I got so many great updates and photos I knew he was being well cared for and loved. Will definitely book Sue again❤️🐶”

About: My favourite place on earth is Leighton Dog Beach in Perth, Western Australia —there's nothing like seeing every dog on the beach having the absolute best day ever! My passion for dogs runs deep; I've lived with dogs since I was 5 and been caring for pets of others for over 15 years. Over the years, I've become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, who have come to realize that I might just prefer dogs to humans! Most recently, I've been caring for cheeky cats Fish and Chip in Toronto. During my university days, training Dexter, our rescue greyhound-collie mix, was my favorite way to procrastinate, and I gained valuable experience in understanding and responding to a dog's unique needs. I appreciate the need for keeping routines and consistency to reduce anxiety and keep behaviour in check, and my chicken and rice making skills for dogs with sensitive stomachs are top notch! Very recently, I had the incredible experience of helping my mum's rescue, Sunny, a wolfhound mix, through the birth and early care of her nine puppies. Watching them grow and ensuring they were all healthy and happy before they found their forever homes was a deeply rewarding experience and solidified my desire to continue working with dogs. Recently arrived in Canada on a 2-year working visa and am traveling with my car. I'm excited to offer my pet-sitting services through Rover during my break from full-time work. Whether it's young, energetic puppies or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m committed to providing personalized, attentive care to ensure every pet has the best experience possible. I'm currently taking time to write and slowly explore Canada as I take a break from full time work. I I have an extremely flexible daily schedule with which to meet the needs of your animals. I appreciate the importance of routine in reducing your pets anxieties when you're away, and have the flexibility to meet their needs on your house. I am currently exploring Canada very slowly with my car as I take a break from full-time work and am willing to travel as I don't have a rigid itinerary. I will keep my profile up to date with my location.

About: I have been full time dog walking for a year now. Rain, shine, wind, snow, I will walk your dog! I will work on training with your dog if necessary. I have done dog and cat sitting for over 5 years. I’ve always been the go to around the neighbourhood. I have experience working with all dogs from puppy to senior. I will not walk an aggressive dog. I am in Fernie for the winter, I am hoping to walk dogs and care for your pets as a way to make an income. I am available for walks any day of the week between 10-6 and available anytime for dog and cat sitting with enough notice. I am a dog walker full time back home in Nova Scotia. I have been doing this full time for a year now and part time for over 5 years. I adore my job because seeing animals happy makes me happy and I’m hoping to have that joy in my life in Fernie. I will always put the health, happiness, and safety of your pet first. I make sure we’re walking in a safe area. If we’re playing, a safe enclosed area. I will also work a bit on your dogs training as I’ve done with the dogs I walk on a regular basis in Nova Scotia.

About: I've spent 3 weeks house sitting a rescue dog and cat in Christchurch, New Zealand plus many other weekends house sitting various pets. I have also fostered dogs including puppies for a minimum of 2 weeks at a time. I'm currently off work for the shoulder season until December. During winter I will be working part time hours as a breakfast server and skiing other days meaning I will be around evenings every day. I care for pets as if they are my own.

About: Helping your pets living their best life! I’m experienced with big size dogs, elder animals, giving medication if needed. I have my pet first aid course. But most of all, I’m a pet sitter that cares a lot about your pet’s well being and will adapt to all level of energy! I work part time at Island Lake Lodge so my calendar is very flexible for pet sitting at your place or walk your dog during the work days. I walk dogs around Fernie and I’m willing to move around in Elk Valley for multi night pet sitting. Always one dog at a time (or multiple dogs if they are from the same household). I also take care of cats & other pets and will give them all the love they deserve!

About: I love dogs and lived with them pretty often. I love walks as much as your dog! Outside is the place to be! Your furry friend will get lots of walks, hikes, affection, and company.I also highly respect your dogs boundaries and follow given rules. I’m clean and organized respectful so your home and will take care of your space as well. I also have experience with pet sitting a dog with required medications I work a full time job in town, however in the morning in evening, moving and playing and outdoors are priority. So as soon as I’m back full attention to the pet. I look over them, give them affection and company, play, outdoors time, and I listen and watch out for cues pets signal to us. I follow the instructions given and make sure to establish trust with both pet and owner

About: I’ve grown up with a menagerie of pets including cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, chickens, birds and even goats! I am particularly fond of looking after cats and dogs. I can’t wait to look after your animals in London & am happy to take special requests! I work in the evenings so have lots of time during the day to walk your dogs or check in on your cats and other animals. Very flexible schedule with shifts typically never longer than 6hrs (maximum 8hrs occasionally). So, I’ll never be away from your animals for too long. I am unable to look after pets in my home as my roommate is extremely allergic to dogs and particularly cats. However, I am available to house / pet sit for you. Alternatively, I can just take your dog for walks around your neighbourhood. I am open to anything!

About: Although I didn’t grow up with dogs of my own, there were always dogs in my house, whether it be family or friends pups. I always loved taking them on walks and playing in the yard. Recently I spent 2 weeks house and dog-sitting in Fernie. My partner and I hope to have a dog of our own one day. I currently work 4 days a week and am happy to walk dogs in the mornings and evenings outside of work. I am usually away adventuring on the weekends which is why I put my availability as Monday-Friday but that could change depending on the weekend. I am very respectful of people’s personal environments. If I am entering a home I will gladly follow any rules you have and leave everything as it was.

About: I've had my own dogs since I was 3. Throughout my life I've always been the one friends and family leave their pets with. Absolutely fine by me as my two favourite things are dogs and walking! Me and my partner, Ella, take Bimini for walks everyday, we'd all be super happy for some extra company. I have no other commitments and am basically free to walk morning, afternoon and evening, 7 days a week = no lonely doggos. I am also fully DBS checked. We moved from a farm in the UK with 5 doggos to Canada with just one! Bim is missing her friends from home, she loves to go on big walks but absolutely will happily chill on the sofa or garden for the rest of the day, or depending if you have a playful pup they'll spend all day entertaining them. Luckily I'm based right by the start of lots of trails and the brilliant dog park!
